Chapter 122 Position
A thought that came to mind after Frontier heard Kala call him ‘the devil’.
‘Maybe the demons have penetrated deeper into Agoris than I thought.’
Antero brought the devil himself, but usually the devil approaches humans. Both the person who tempts and the person who hands out the contract are generally devils.
However, Bune, the demon who made a contract with Antero, said: As long as they are not in the demon world but in the human world, there is no need for a gate for humans and demons to meet each other. So there is no need for a medium as powerful as Dragon Heart.
That means it has become much easier for demons to approach humans.
‘The reason Mrs. Achaia suspects Carla of being the devil means that she views the devil as a threat to this country and takes it for granted.’
This is contrary to the continent of Palind, where demons could not be easily encountered. Here, the devil is a clear threat, and Carla was accused of being the devil based on only circumstantial evidence.
It means that humans have a lot of experience being burned by demons.
‘When I first came here, the devils had already built a proper country. It’s also a fairly large country. At the time, I roughly assumed it would be possible since it was a devil, but it definitely wasn’t on a scale that could be self-sufficient.’
Just as you follow Roman laws when you come to Rome, you must follow the rules of this world in this world.
Frondier doesn’t know how the Demon World came to be, but the world of demons he saw was not much different from that of humans.
In other words, the devils had the capital and materials to create such buildings and systems.
This is not something that can be done just between them.
‘… Does this country really have the devil as its enemy?’
Or maybe the citizens just don’t know, and have been making some kind of deal with the devil for a very long time.
‘Bael, you bastard.’
Demons are looking for a way to return to the demon world.
Of course, he must have been trying his best to access this country’s information, but he pretended not to know.
“Frondier, what’s wrong?”
Carla looks at Frontier worriedly.
Frondier stopped his thoughts and shook his head.
“No, I was lost in thought for a moment. Anyway, Lady Achaia, or rather, Mr. Eriboia is there, so we need to be careful for the time being.”
“Should I pretend to be the devil?”
“No. Even if you don’t, you’ll probably think that way anyway. “You just have to carry on as usual.”
Anyway, Frondier said it as if it were his own confession, so that belief will not be shaken for the time being.
But now Carla no longer needs to approach her nobles to gain knowledge about demons.
Even the knowledge of monsters. She will go back to the quiet person she used to be.
Then, even nobles cannot touch the collar without permission. Especially since there is a new threat called Frontier.
“Today, let’s forget for a moment and enjoy the macchia. “It’s an opportunity to see the students’ skills.”
Pielot’s game is about to begin. Frontier is also looking at that with anticipation.
“… “When I hear things like that, I feel anxious and can’t enjoy it comfortably.”
“There is no need to be anxious.”
Frondier answered calmly.
“Because you’re safe with me.”
* * *
Just a few days ago, Aias never dreamed that he would be in a position like this, just watching.
The appearance of an unexpected and powerful enemy called Pielot.
She must have let her guard down, but she never thought she would faint from a return blow and wake up in the infirmary. She was so outrageous that even shame washed over her much later.
‘No, did I really let my guard down?’
Pielot said something strange before fighting him.
He didn’t understand what he was talking about, but when he saw his momentum and attitude, he knew he was a tough guy.
Yes. He was harmed knowingly.
Moreover, before that, I couldn’t even write a note to the new teacher named Frontier. It was the first time I felt such a hopeless difference in skill.
‘… ‘Wow, maybe I’m weak.’
He has never once doubted, but his faith is gradually cracking.
‘Besides, her mom tells me not to come forward as much as possible. ‘What is she thinking?’
The sight of her mother being upset in her teacher’s office was both refreshing and extremely embarrassing.
She didn’t expect him to come to the teacher’s office and be so angry because she fainted. Because it was her first time seeing something like that.
Moreover, since she had been hit on the head by Pielot, she strongly discouraged Machia, fearing that there might be damage left in her that she could not detect.
That’s why I agreed with the class’s plan to raise Pielot as the class representative.
‘Joy. ‘Someday, I will take you down.’
Still, Aias still did not lose her competitive spirit.
Whether he was caught off guard or something, he fell unconscious in one hit. He has not yet seen Pielot’s full power, nor has he shown his full power.
If he trains and studies more intensely, it makes no sense for him, who is so talented, to be constantly defeated by Pielot.

Aias believed so.
Just today, right before Pielot started fighting with Representative Ban.
Taang!
Thud!
A dull sound of a blow and the sound of something falling to the ground.
“Ugh… !”
And painful drooling.
It was Pielot. He was lying on the floor holding his sword.
And the man who struck Pielot and knocked him down.
“… “Oh, well.”
He blinked his eyes blankly, with a rather youthful face, and stood there awkwardly on his bare hands, as if he had no idea what he had done.
And that scene.
“… What?”
Ajax was dumbfounded and opened his mouth without realizing it.
All the students who knew Pielot gasped in surprise,
Frondier’s eyes widened as he watched.
“Wow, that’s really fast. “I couldn’t see it.”
Carla, who was next to me, said with admiration.
Certainly, the man struck Pielot at a speed so fast that it was invisible to non-warrior eyes. Moreover, without any weapon and with his bare fists.
But there is one more thing that surprised Frondier.
‘I just blocked Pielot properly with my sword. But that,’
Pielot blocked the man’s blow by raising the side of his sword. It was an incredibly fast speed, but it means that Pielot was able to react sufficiently.
However, the man blew Pielot away with his sword.
Pielot is by no means a weak man. He rather possesses excellent qualities in all physical abilities. Even on the Palind Continent, where the average level is higher than here, his talent shines through.
As a genius at controlling Aurors, it was natural for him to be an Auror for self-defense at all times, and he was also able to focus his Aurors exactly where he needed to be defended.
Pielot clearly did it all,
Breaking through it all, the man lifted Pielot into the air.
‘What is this monster?’
Of course, Pielot also broke into a cold sweat, quickly adjusted his posture and looked at the man in front of him.
‘What did you say when you introduced it earlier? Was it Glaucus? He said he was in first grade.’
Of course, this is my first time hearing this name. Besides, he is a first year student.
Pielot did not receive proper damage. Because the defense was done properly. However, my hand still feels a little numb from the blow I received with the sword.
“Good job, Glaucus!”
“Go for it!”
Cheers and cheering voices are heard from Glaucus’ class.
However, Glaucus seemed embarrassed. I feel like I’m hesitating because I don’t know what to do.
“What are you doing?”
“… Oh.”
Pielot asked at the sight.
“It’s not over yet.”
Machia’s rules are when he surrenders, is knocked out, or is out of bounds.
It doesn’t end with just defeating it.
“Yes, yes!”
Glaucus answered sincerely and took his stance again.
And,
Hiss!
Kwaaang-!
This time more intensely and fiercely.
“Ugh… !”
A fist clashing with Pielot’s sword.
Giggeek, Giggeek.
Pielot didn’t levitate this time, but his feet made a loud noise as he was pushed back.
With these two attacks, Pielot knew for sure.
Of all the people he has ever met, he is without a doubt the strongest in terms of physical strength.
And when he saw through the eyes of Fron Deer, who met those who were stronger than him,
‘… ‘Renzo.’
Only one person, someone comparable to this, came to mind.
‘He looks like Renzo.’
Unparalleled ferocity and speed. A rushing power that seems to ignore the opponent’s defenses.
‘I can’t believe there was a guy like that on this continent, even in first grade.’
Frontier was purely amazed.
Originally, this machia was intended to stimulate Pielot, who was thirsty for growth.
Pielot is definitely ready to fall. He is ready to get back on his feet and grow.
However, Frondier thought that it would be enough if someone with whom Pielot could fight with a certain degree of courage appeared in this machia.
It’s extremely difficult to beat Pielot at the student level now.
But a person who broke that expectation appeared.
“Ha! Breathe! Yap!”
Thud! Whoosh! Bang!
Every time Glaucus swings his fists and feet, a terrifying sound is made. When it hits, it feels like a cannonball is destroying a wall, and when it passes through the air, it feels like all the surrounding air is being torn apart.
Pielot stands before the storm. Frontier knows that feeling all too well.
Every time I meet Renzo, I can’t help but feel my heart, liver, and flesh shaking.
‘… But whatever.’
Even as Frontier saw that terrifying momentum.
‘It won’t work for Pielot now.’
Tuk.
“Uh.”
Pielot touched Glaucus’ outstretched paw from behind. Glaucus reacts, braces his front paws and steps back.
In that split second, Pielot put his sword into his waist.

Baldo, simultaneous attack
Just as Pielot’s sword was drawn out again, Glaucus hurriedly raised both arms to block his face.
Whoa!
And as soon as I felt the blow hit my face,
“Cough!”
I realized that I had been struck with a sword in the stomach at exactly the same moment.
Dump.
Glaucus collapsed from abdominal pain. However, he is conscious of Pielot, so he tries to spread the distance by rolling around on the floor. That alone makes it better than Antero.
Thud! Bang! Hiss!
However, Pielot doesn’t pay attention to it and pushes at it, and eventually the sword reaches the end of his neck.
“I lost, I lost.”
Glaucus declared, and the game was over.
Wow, cheers pouring in. Pielot sighs and returns his sword.
Glaucus stood up shakily and said:
“… You have no mercy. Senior.”
“You should have done the same.”
Glaucus’ first strike. When Pielot fell, he was able to fully pursue Pielot.
Glaucus honestly nodded his head.
“… Iknow, right.”
Glaucus had overwhelming strength and speed, but his combat experience was overwhelmingly lacking.
He read the numbers to Pielot, and although he had a strength advantage, he lost.
And all of this,
“… What.”
Aias opened his eyes and looked.
“What’s this.”
He thought he just had to beat Pielot. And even to Frontier.
But that wasn’t the case.
The stage was already leaving him behind.
Aias felt a very strange sensation.
Defeating and being humiliated by someone can also happen in life.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that he had done something irreversible, that he had to be there.
