Chapter 41: Detective Games (5)
Melena's backyard.
Normally quiet due to lack of use, it was different today.
The ground in one corner began to tremble.
Starting as a slight tremor, it intensified, culminating in an eruption of golden energy that sent earth and stones skyward.
Five figures emerged from the newly formed hole.
"Gah! I, I thought I was going to die…!"
"I thought we were going to be buried alive…"
Leon, Elena, Lucia, and the r...

Chapter 36: Detective games (2)
Infiltration was the act of sneaking in while avoiding the gaze of others.
The fewer people involved, the more stealthy and swift the operation could be, and the lower the chance of being detected.
But…
“…What are you doing here?”
“Ah, I… that, that is…”
Lucia stammered in response to my question, while the others watched.
Two more people lay unconscious on the ground.
…What were they doing her...

Chapter 31: First Lesson (2)
The Headmistress’s office at the Academy.
“A duel on the first day, and on top of that, the son of the Myers family almost died…”
“I apologize.”
A woman with green hair and eyes looked at Glesia with an indifferent expression.
She was none other than the Headmistress of the Academy, Beatrice Leila.
“So, what about those two? What did you do?”
“I called a priest to reattach the severed arm, and aside fr...

Chapter 26: Admission? (1)
Ch. 26
Inside the rattling carriage.
The destination of this carriage was the Academy's entrance ceremony venue.
As if to prove it, carriages of various colors stretched along the road.
Some people used magic to travel on foot, but most preferred carriages to conserve their energy.
“Are you also an incoming student at the Academy, miss?”
“That’s right.”
“Haha, youth is enviable.”
The coachman, see...

Chapter 21: Reunion (2)
We slipped away from the scene and into a deserted alley.
While I appeared unharmed, Lena leaned against the wall, her hand on her stomach.
“Are you alright?”
“Ugh… I still feel nauseous…”
Apparently, grabbing her and running at high speed wasn’t a pleasant experience.
“So… what now…?”
“I don’t know. We should probably wait until things quiet down.”
After causing such a commotion in the capi...

Chapter 16: ...the story is about to begin.
“Before we begin, let’s discuss the most important matter.”
The Demon King’s words drew everyone's attention.
He paused, his gaze settling on me.
I had a feeling I knew what this “important matter” was.
“It concerns the Zeroth Legion Commander.”
“Is that so?”
“I’ve heard that a new Hero and Saint will be enrolling in the Academy.”
The Hero and Saint.
Humanity’s hope...

Chapter 11: Demon King
A week had passed since I arrived at the Second Legion.
Bathory had kept her word about the temporary reprieve from training, allowing me my first peaceful days since arriving.
“So, did you rest well? We'll start training again tomorrow, so get plenty of rest today.”
“Starting again means that, right?”
Although, it feels like it'll be the last time today.
“Well, what else would it be?”
I hadn't slept properly at ni...

Chapter 6: Lucia's Prologue
"Ah…ah…"
Lucia stared at the scene before her, a whimper escaping her lips. Blood trickled down her clothes, staining them crimson. But it wasn't her blood, and that terrified her even more.
"S-Sister…?"
A warm body shielded her.
"No… please…"
"It’s… alright…"
A blade, buried deep in her protector’s chest. The nun had taken the blow meant for her.
The nun's trembling hand caressed Lucia’...
