48 – aka wheel – 48
After 30 minutes of pressing the form little by little to transform it into a human form, I realized that it was impossible.
It was because in the process of making the wheel look like a human, it sensed that the mana was shaking violently.
“As expected, this body can’t do it.”
I thought that if I combined the strengths of the wheel and the strengths of the human form, I would become incredibly strong, but the world did not flow easily either.
After tens of minutes of struggling, I was able to make a few small changes.
Fingers first.
He succeeded in increasing his number of fingers from three to five.
Thanks to that, it was difficult to hold the sword properly or make a fist, but now it seemed like I could use it properly.
Next was the improvement of the feet. The lower leg also had quite a few joint restrictions like an insect, but after undergoing improvement, it was able to become more natural from that restriction.
“I guess a Brazilian kick is fine now.”
Finally, I made the thorns on the legs sharper.
Now, even if it is not necessary to punch, it is possible to inflict a stab wound on an enemy simply by brushing a thorn.
It felt like my body had finally become a complete sword.
“This is the new sword union… … . Is it the last lunar eclipse?”
As a result, it was a satisfactory customization.
Since the custom is fixed as it is, it can always maintain this state even without a mask.
“… … You are tired.”
That was the downside of the mask.
The dramatic changes in the body happen several times, so the physical strength is lost.
I threw myself on the bed in my room in the dormitory.
As expected, as it is a dormitory used by aristocrats, the mattress feels warm to the touch.
Just like that, I slowly fell asleep.
* * *
“Ooh, whoaaagh?! Bugs on the bed… … That, Mr. Gregory?”
The one who woke me up was Rose, who was surprised to see me in bug form.
“Ah, I slept without transforming. Were you very surprised?”
I muttered that and got up and transformed.
“Oh no! I got used to it thanks to the piercing Gregory gave me. I’m just surprised that I didn’t expect Gregory-sama to sleep here.”
“okay? How do you know I’m sleeping here?”
“I kept calling Gregory. Since there was no reaction, I wondered if it was not in the image space.”
Rosé scratches his head while laughing hehehehe.
“ah! And an employee from Priscilla’s side just came, and he said that we should go to school together later. Are you going with me?”
I had a transformation, so I didn’t have to prepare anything else.
“I will.”
“Yes, then rest!”
Rosé closes the door and leaves. Still sitting on the bed, I felt something strange while moving my body.
“What is this?”
My body itched. It feels like something other than blood is moving.
It was a different feeling from when customizing with wheel form.
Roughly, it was expected.
“Is it magical power?”
It seems that he has been able to use his magical powers as he has risen to 3 stars.
In the game, warriors and martial artists used to fight with magical powers on their bodies or weapons.
In other words, there were more weapons to fight in human form.
First of all, I closed my eyes and concentrated on trying to move my mana. However, as if trying to catch the wind, the mana does not move according to my will.
“After all, it is not a power that can be easily handled.”
Apparently, it seemed good to train magic power with the help of Rosé.
Rosé was also a great mage, so she must be of great help.
“Gregory! Priscilla came to visit.”
When I left the room with Rosé, I saw Priscilla bowing her head towards me.
“… … what.”
“Thanks to Gregory introducing you to Paimon, yesterday was a big help. I think I should say thank you.”
It was as if the princess had bowed her head and thanked me.
“It happened. Your pet, Raphael, was also very helpful.”
After hearing my story, Priscilla slowly raised her head. she said with a smile.
“As expected, Gregory-sama would have said that. Still, it is said that the level of the 3rd circle in the first year is the highest level.”
Ah, come to think of it, did I say that the princess is the first year’s senior?
Suddenly, the memory of us swallowing the elixir prepared by the president for the princess came to mind.
Wait, isn’t that why we weren’t able to get to 3 stars?
“Gregory?”
Priscilla tilts her head at my sudden stiff appearance.
“Oh, nothing. I’m glad it helped. egg plant.”
I’ll have to get another elixir from Priscilla later.
With that thought in mind, we walked towards the academy.
* * *
When we arrived at Rosé’s class, 1st year B class, we realized that the academy was noisier than usual.
“What is it?”
Muttering that, Rosé approached Elena, who was sitting and chatting with another student.
“Miss Elena!”
“what’s the matter? … … Rosé.”
It seems that the two of them made quite a progress while I was gone.
“What happened to make the atmosphere like this?”
“Did you not hear? It seems that the student at the Imperial Academy who made a contract with the devil yesterday caused a terrorist attack.”
“… … terrorism? there’s a contract there. Was the terrorist the summoner?”
wait for a sec.
“No, it must have been that he intended to damage the human world in exchange for power rather than a contract like that. Fortunately, Raphael-sama stopped it.”
“Raphael… … What?”
Rosé’s gaze moves to me.
“that’s right. Rumor has it that Raphael-sama is currently visiting the president’s office and telling the truth about the incident, but it seems that the purpose was to advance into the human world.”
The reason I didn’t see Raphael in the morning was because he was taken to the president’s office.
“… … That’s a big deal. Demons entering the human realm? It must be an entry into the human realm without a contract, right?”
“yes. Thanks to that, it seems that the academy is currently calling summoners who have contracts with demons. They want to find out the truth of the case.”
“ah… … . okay!”
“… … By the way, isn’t your summoner also a demon?”
“Right?”
At the same time as the answer, the door to the classroom was thrown open.
“Rosé von Euglia and Gregory Jones from Class 1B. This is the message from the vice president to come to the gym!”
It was a familiar face.
When someone said it, it was one of the guys who abandoned Amel, the lead manager, and ran away.
Looks like it hasn’t been cut yet.
“I’m calling right now. Go once.”
“Then you don’t have to listen to math in the first period, right? Aww~”
“No, it’s not the time to like… … .”
Even after hearing that she is being taken away by the vice-president, Rosé is delighted just by the fact that she is omitting math.
Seeing that, Elena shook her head with an expression of boredom.
“Gregory! Let’s go to the gym quickly!”
Are you trying to gather the demons and investigate the truth of the incident? I nodded and headed towards the gym with Rosé.
The gym at the academy was a different atmosphere from the arena.
It was because I heard the atmosphere that the gym was really a space only for exercise, while the arena was really a space only for duels.
Except for the crowds of demons and summoned creatures around.
“and… … . Gregory! There are so many demons!”
There were demons classified as ‘lower demons’, ‘medium demons’, and ‘higher demons’ without names around them.
It seemed that all these demons were the demons of the academy students.
“There are quite a few more than I thought.”
“Yeah, I guess there will be 50 people even if I estimate it?”
I wonder if there was such a thing as a hierarchy even in this place, I was talking with the demons of my own lineage, but when it came to high-ranking demons, the low-level demons did not pay attention.
That’s right, when it comes to fantasy, it’s a class after all.
It finally felt like something fantasy.
“The 34th rank devil and the Count of the Underworld! Purpur-sama is entering!”
A middle-level demon shouted from the entrance we entered.
Then they turned around and looked at the entrance.
The lower level demons bowed their heads, the middle level demons stood stiffly looking at it, and the higher level demons looked at the entrance with a comfortable posture.
“A gathering of demons, this is so much fun!”
Parfait and Purpur, who covered their mouths with colorful fans, enter.
Whoa, if you’re a demon in the 34th place, you’re treated like that.
“ruler! Worship. demons! That Parfait Sagari and Purpur are here!”
Purpur walking silently in a butler’s uniform, and Parfait stepping inside with a proud step next to him.
That bastard was still ungrateful.
And then the middle-level demon shouts again.
“The fifth-ranked demon, the chairman of the Pandemonium Council, and the king of demons! Lord Marvas is entering!”
… … What is that guy, why is he shouting like that from earlier?
Judging by the outfit, it looked like a devil who got a job at the academy.
As I looked around and surveyed the situation, the corner of my mouth went up.
“As expected, 5th place is 5th place.”
The lower demons kneel and bow their heads, while the middle demons only bow their heads. And all the high-ranking demons were looking at the entrance with determined expressions.
“you’ve worked hard. Monde Mong.”
Marvas entered the gym, touched the shoulder of the demon who was screaming, and then started to move towards me.
“… … It is an infinite honor that you remember my name!”
And the devil bent down and shouted at his back.
I learned today for the first time that lieutenant demons even had names.
“Gregory, this must be your work too, right?”
Before I knew it, Marvas approached me and grinned.
It seemed that he understood something about the current situation.
“Okay, I’ll tell you the details later. Right now, I’m thinking of just saying I don’t know.”
“Um, sure enough.”
Marvas nodded and looked around.
flinch. and all the demons averted their gaze.
“The other guys don’t know anything. There won’t be any big problems.”
Muttering that, Marvas stood in front of the church in the gym.
“nice to meet. very briefly It is called Marvas, who has been entrusted with managing you. It’s a situation where you say that I’m suitable for controlling you guys.”
To beat up Marvas’ time, the faculty are not normal either.
“In fact, it came out as an assistant with the vice president, so don’t worry too much, just don’t make a fuss and just do it like now. more.”
Apparently, he sent Marvas after hearing that demons are sensitive to order.
“Wow, you see. Gregory? At one word from Marvas, everyone became quiet.”
Rosé looked at Marvas standing in front of him as if he was curious.
It seemed that she still did not understand the current situation.
“Since Marvas is your pet, you can be considered the highest ranked in this gym.”
“yes? Really?”
“Yeah, that’s why the other guys can’t talk to you.”
The fact that Rose had defeated a student of Roden with Marvas had already spread throughout the academy.
To touch her is tantamount to challenging Marvas.
Rumors about me were just a grotesque and strong bug demon.
“Then if I told you to lie down here, would you?”
Suddenly, Rose brought up a scary story.
“… … I’ll do it if I ask, but the other summoners won’t stand still and the high-ranking demons will rebel.”
“Is that right? lol.”
As we were passing the time chatting like that, the devil shouted once more.
“Vice-chancellor of the Academy! Orga Levinport is entering!”
“Are you finally here?”
I turn my gaze towards the entrance.
Finally.
After coming to the academy, I finally got a chance to see the Vice-Chancellor.
