The Misfit of Demon King Academy

“…..You always say such irresponsible things. Whatever, it’s fine. Let’s go. It’s time”

As I started to move Misha came over to me and looked up.

“….How do you know……?”

“It’s my castle.”

Misha tilts her head to the side.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in there. I set off for the dungeon thinking such things.

Two sets of students are already gathered there.

As we arrive the bell rings out signalling the start of class.

“Well then. The dungeon test starts now. Any items obtained in the dungeon belong to the group leader. The time limit is 9am tomorrow morning. Any students that return sooner than that can go home. Those that want to give up please use Thought Transmission <Liikus> and contact me.”

Emilia opens the door to the underground dungeon.

“May you have the blessing of the founder.”

With that signal, all the students rush forward at once.

I walked slowly. I’ve got no particular reason to rush.

“Wai, wait Arnos. Shouldn’t we take the initiative!? The dungeon is a first come first served deal! We don’t have time to leisurely saunter in!”

“It’s fine.”

“Fine…….”

“You can go ahead if you want.”

“We are not allowed to go alone.”

Sasha is walking just ahead of us.

It seems that the school has put monsters in the dungeon but the students running in front have defeated them so we were able to leisurely stroll through the dungeon.

“Right there.”

“Why do you know that?”

“I’ve been here before.”

While giving me a look that says she doesn’t believe me Sasha reluctantly walks the way I pointed out.

About 10 floors down Misha talks to me.

“….Can I ask something……?”

“What’s up?”

“……What can I give for a birthday…..?”

Misha looks at Sasha’s back.

“Is it Sasha’s?”

*Kokuri* Misha nods.

“…..Tomorrow……”

I see. This is a sudden story.

Well, it can’t be helped. They only made up yesterday.

“Sasha?”

“What?”

“Is there anything that you desire right now?”

“Let’s see. I want to be the best in this exam.”

It’s an answer with no desire.

“Is that so?”

“…….I’m troubled……”

“You are the best present for her.”

Misha shakes her head from side to side.

“Something that will never be forgotten for your entire life is the best.”

The hurdle is very high all of a sudden.

“If it’s something you thought of, wouldn’t she be pleased with it?”

“…….Really……….?”

“She was happy that you have made up.”

Misha thinks with her usual expressionless manner.

“She likes clothes.”

Clothes? Then there’s something good at the bottom of this dungeon.

“Then there’s something that Sasha will be pleased with.”

“……Really……?”

“It’s here on the lowest level. If it’s still left that is.”

Then Misha gave one of her rare smiles.

“…..Thank you……”

“By the way, when is your birthday?”

“……Tomorrow……”

Really? Are they twins? They are very similar.

“What do you want?”

Misha thinks for a while.

“……I don’t need anything……”

“Don’t hold back.”

“…..We won’t be able to meet……”

Even if I can’t see her tomorrow I can still give her a birthday present or is there really nothing she wants?

Should I push it?

“That reminds me. How old will you be Misha?”

“…….15 tomorrow……..”

So Sasha is also 15.

Born 15 years ago and this is the year that the demon king reincarnates. Sasha is still rumoured to be the reincarnation of the founder.

In other words, my words were not taken verbatim. They didn’t believe that I would be born as a baby but would transmigrate into a strong container already brimming with power.

I didn’t actually say how I would be reincarnated I guess.

They may have thought that I would not go down the traditional route of reincarnating as a baby.

There is also the possibility that the demon king academy was not searching for the founder at all. In fact, it could be the opposite. It’s been made to not recognise me as the founder.

“Arnos? This is a dead end.”

Sasha had stopped and was looking at a wall.

“Aah. It’s a hidden passage.”

“I’ve looked with my demon eyes. There’s nothing there.”

“It’s made so that it can’t be detected with demon eyes.”

Saying this I walk straight into the wall.

“Eh….wai….Arnos……..?”

*Thump* my head hits the wall and the wall is destroyed.

I carry on walking and the wall collapses.

*Gogogogogogogo* I keep on walking destroying the passage in front of me and leaving a hole in the shape of my body behind me.

“Haaaaa……….!?”

“…….Strong………”

“He’s a strong idiot alright. That’s great and all but……..Didn’t he say that this was a hidden passageway?”

“……Can’t be seen with demon eyes…….”

“There’s no magic device either……..”

I walk back to Misha and Sahsa who have dumbfounded looks on their faces.

“Hurry up.”

Sasha began walking with a puzzled look still on her face.

“This is just walking through solid rock and destroying it.”

“……Nn…….”
