The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)-Chapter 37.1
The next day in Deruzogedo’s demon tree forest saw 2 sets of students gathered here for the exam taking place.
When the bell to signal the start of class sounded Emilia spoke.
“Now then. We will start the exam with Ray’s group and Arnos’ group.”
Ray walks towards me
“Did you sleep well yesterday?”
“Aah, I had a good night.”
“I didn’t sleep very well.”
“Fumu. Did you find a good book? Staying up late is bad for your health.”
“That’s true. Getting up was an effort this morning.”
Ray lets out a yawn as if to prove his point.
“Hey hey hey hey!” Sasha butted in.
What’s she complaining about now?
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t ‘what’s wrong’ me! The group test has started! This is an exam! What’s with this lukewarm air? Are you going on a day trip somewhere?”
Yare yare. It doesn’t mean we have to kill each other. We don’t have to be bloodthirsty about it, though there is a chance they may die accidentally.
“My bad. My subordinate nags a bit.”
I place my hand on Sasha’s head indirectly telling her to quieten down a bit.
“……Eerm…….hand…your hand…..I won’t shut up because of that…….”
Even so, Sasha’s loses her momentum and falls silent.
“Jealous?”
Misha makes an appearance from behind Sasha.
“….Wha….what are you saying…….?”
“Because Arnos is different than when he’s with Sasha.”
I’m different?
“Aah, I see Sasha. Are you envious because I talk peacefully with Ray but not with you?”
“Wha, what are you on about!? I’m not envious…….!”
“Really?”
I look at Sasha’s face but she turns away.
“…………………I’m not envious………..”
A feeble murmur leaks out.
“In the first place, the rivalry in the last test all came from you.”
Sasha looks my way and lets out a small groan.
“Sasha-san.”
“What!!”
Misa who had called out to Sasha flinched at Sasha’s angry look.
“…….Well. Should we fight as well?”
“What? In the match?”
“Yeah. Arnos-sama and Ray-san have promised to fight each other but we will only get in their way. Should we not fight each other?”
“How astonishing. This exam is a mock-up of a real war. What war arranges its fights beforehand?”
Misa smiled at Sasha’s cold tone.
“It seems you really liked that magic photo from yesterday.”
“….That’s…….not really…..”
Sasha’s eyes are swimming.
“Fufufu. If you beat me I’ll give it to you.”
For a brief moment, Misa shows a photo in her breast pocket.
“……Is that all you want to say?”
“Yes. Let’s fight each other to our best ability.”
Having given her message Misa returns to the Arnos Fan Union group.
“Aah, that’s right. Yesterday’s game was won by Arnos-kun right?”
“That’s right. Are you going to give me something?”
Ray shows a cool smile.
“Well then, how about we enjoy ourselves in this test.”
*Kuukuukuu* laughter leaks deep from my body
It’s a good line. Much better than those who strongly threaten and complain.
“Interesting. I look forward to it.”
“What about our base locations?”
“Choose wherever you like.”
“I’ll take the east then.”
Ray went back and called out to Misa.
“Shall we go? I may be an unreliable leader but I want you all to lend me your power.”
A surprised expression showed on Misa’s face.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s just that Ray-san is unusual to say something like that to us white clothes.”
“Aah, I’m bad at stuff like royalty and whatnot. It’s too difficult for me. I don’t get it. Occasionally, I do think though.”
“Think what?”
“Did the founder really say that?”
Misa stares at Ray with an astonished look.
“Did that person really say that royalty was so great?”
“….That person?”
“Aah, that’s a separate story but I’ve always felt uncomfortable. That demon king of tyranny that everyone talks about seems like a different person. Well, I say such things but I’m looked coldly on when I do since I’m one of the chaos generation. If you can keep it a secret I’d be really grateful.”
Misa laughs a little happily.
“Fufufu, I understand. By the way. Are you interested in the activities of the unification faction Ray-san?”
Judging by Ray’s story Misa must have thought it was a good idea so she started trying to recruit him.
“No, not at all.”
“Is that so? That’s disappointing. Then are you interested in the Arnos-sama fan union?”
Whilst having a peaceful conversation with Ray they head off over to the east side while we headed off to the west.
After a while, an owl flew into the sky and used Thought Transmission <Liikus>.
“The match between Ray’s group and Arno’s group will begin. Don’t bring shame to the founder and fight with all your might!!”
With same words as before the match began.
“….Strategy…..?”
“I’ll deal with Misa and the other students.”
Misha stares at Sasha’s face.
“Want photo?”
“No! I want to show my power to that woman who thinks she can beat me.”
Even though it’s just a mock skirmish she seems fired up.
“Sasha. I want to say one thing.”
“What?”
“Even though you will be outnumbered you are one of my subordinates. Don’t run away.”
She smiled at me in an aloof manner.
“That goes without saying. Please watch. I’ll knock them all down.”
“Fumu. Well then, I’ll give you a reward if you do your best.”
“What reward?”
“I’ll do anything. Think about your favourite thing.”
Sasha suddenly looks shy. What are you thinking about?
“……Anything…..?”
“Aah.”
Sasha leans in close.
“Anything? Really? Anything at all?”
“Aah. What do you want?”
Her face went red hot and she turned away.
“……Nothing…….. I mean…….I’ll think about it.”
Apparently, there’s something she wants.
“Build a castle?” Misha asks.
“I guess. Can you build one for the time being?”
Misha nods and clasps her hands like she’s praying.
A great number of ice crystals appeared from the <Ice Lotus Leaf Ring> before forming a magic circle and begin to shine.
“Ice Castle”
Misha uses Construction Creation <Ibis>.
In the blink of an eye, the ground freezes and outer walls appear. After that, an ice throne, a bronze statue and a mirror appear. Next, the ice floor rises into the sky carrying our bodies upwards with force. Finally, the ceiling is constructed and a huge demon king castle made of ice appeared.
The throne stands between us.
“……How were you able to construct the castle so fast using <Ibis> Misha?” Sasha asks.
