020. Sword Demon (4)
Not all students escaped to the auditorium to be happy about the unexpected incident.
Now look at the two girls clinging to the back and moving.
It is said that the powerful princess Maria and the duke’s daughter Delia, who are in class B with Veris, couldn’t find the time to evacuate due to the crowd of black clothes pouring out of the dormitory building.
Thanks to that, she met and joined Veris, so should this be considered luck or bad luck?
“Thank you very much. You have no idea how scared I was.”
“…… This is not an intentional action.”
“Yeah! There are a lot of strange people outside the building, but they can’t use magic. Is it because your eyes are really dark?”
“Mah, Marie. Lower your voice.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Maria sticks out her tongue while laughing heheheh.
Seeing that innocent look, Veris was stunned.
Perhaps this woman had no intention of revealing her true identity as the princess at all, she was still playing the daughter of a rural viscount in the kingdom of Gaul.
Her brown hair is her face full of freckles. But Veris thought this was not her true self.
This is the academy, one of the heart of the empire.
If she was going to fake who she really was, she probably would have taken action on her appearance so that no one would recognize her.
‘It’s a waste of experience.’
Verys was saddened by the fact that he had to accompany these two girls.
Think about it. Just in time for the EXP event to take place, wouldn’t it be very satisfying for her to be suddenly dragged around?
But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave the two of them in a lonely place, so I have no choice but to give up my experience points with tears in my eyes.
“But isn’t Veris afraid of them?”
“Yes?”
“Thanks to this barrier right now, mana usage is limited. But it was strange that she walked around her dormitory wing casually.”
“We are limiting our use of mana as much as possible.”
…… She is also a talkative woman. Thinking so, Veris finally raised her head and looked at the sky surrounded by the blue wall.
If the barrier Veris knew was correct, there was a high possibility that the barrier stone that served as a medium was operating somewhere.
She said that destroying the barrier stone or finding and eliminating the magician who opened the barrier is the fundamental way to solve this problem.
But wouldn’t it be easier said than done to find and destroy the invisible barrier stone in this vast barrier? So, she said, what Berrys had to do was simple. The first thing she did was find the guy who interrupted her nap.
And I was worried about his unknown acquaintances.
‘I won’t take it easy.’
The rumor that the level of the new students is amazing is not just a rumor. Perhaps if they unite together, they won’t be defeated in vain by any number of enemies.
Clap clap.
Just as Veris was immersed in that thought, she heard applause from afar.
“No, there is someone.”
Unlike usual, it is a dormitory building with creepy silence. The fact that applause could be heard in the middle did not mean a very good situation.

“Excellent!”
The man walking slowly from far away was a middle-aged man with red long hair. He wears two swords, one on each side of his waist, and his clothes don’t look like the academy’s staff.
The man approached them casually.
Seeing that peaceful outsider, Delia and Maria hid behind Veris with wary eyes, and in the end, Veris was pushed forward and had no choice but to face him.
“It is wonderful to see you bravely lead your comrades in this situation. I will set an example for other students.”
“…… Who are you?”
“People call them madmen, and they call them ghosts.”
“… ….”
“But my favorite word is ‘sword demon’. Sword Demon Lorraine, that is me.”
─Seureureung.
With a clear sound, two twin swords were pulled out of their scabbards.
What it meant was simple. The middle-aged man right in front of him didn’t seem to have any intention of letting Verris, Maria, and Delia go unscathed.
“It may be a violation of the contract with him, but I couldn’t stay still because my blood was boiling. Why is someone like you in the middle of these kids? I don’t know if I really know.”
Each.
A sword demon with a creepy smile. Maria and Delia couldn’t help but shudder at his vicious life.
Sword Demon Lorraine.
Isn’t he such a famous swordsman that even a villager living in the mountains might have heard of his name?
As if he couldn’t believe that he was targeting them from within the academy, the two stared blankly at him.
─Wedge juice!
“Maria, Delia. Back off!”
A sword demon wielding two swords, closing the distance in an instant. Seeing that, Veris shouted at the two.
It is not difficult to block an attack. However, the two, who are having difficulty using mana now, could have been caught in the battle and injured, so it was an action.
Delia and Maria quickly widened their distance, as if they were aware of the atmosphere even though they simply omitted honorifics.
─Paaang!
Formidable pressure surged through the hall.
Even though swords collided with each other, the wind pressure that hit the space was by no means light.
Surprised by the clash between the two, Maria blankly looked at Veris’ back and muttered.
“My name…… How?”
It is Maria herself admitting that she was a man who was intrigued by his handsome face that would make his eyes wide open.
However, unlike her expectation that her ability would be limited because she is a student in Class B, isn’t the image she is showing now absolutely normal?
The sword demon wields a sword.
To the point of feeling intimidated, the twin swords that had grown with her blood for such a long time aimed at Veris with a sharp but sophisticated edge.
But what makes Maria dazed is Verice’s ability to retrieve her sword.
The old steel sword issued at the academy level didn’t contain a single drop of mana, but it was still blocking the famous sword demon, so who can explain this gap?
“Amazing! Amazing!”
As if they weren’t the only ones who were surprised by that appearance, the Sword Demon genuinely admired Veris.
A sword demon who now knows the power of this barrier. He says he doesn’t use mana either, but his twin swords are never at the level of a normal academy student.
If you are a swordsman who knows that reality, how can you not be surprised to see a monster in front of you that breaks the wall of common sense with pure personal skills?
─Kang! Pervert!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of workshops come and go. Clearly, both of them are not using mana, but their phenomenal level of movement makes you goosebumps just by looking at them.
“Awesome, awesome… ….”
“Mah, Marie. Maybe I should ask for help?”
But, whether or not Maria felt that way, Delia, with a trembling tone, only tugged at her collar.
Just the fact that the demon of the world is trying to kill them makes my heart thump in fear.
Fortunately, they aren’t what he’s targeting right now, so wouldn’t it be better to run away or call for support?
But contrary to Delia’s wishes, Maria shook her head. Her eyes, as if stained with ecstasy, were still blankly following Veris’s back.
“Ha ha ha ha! It’s fun, it’s fun!”
The face of the Sword Demon wielding twin swords was full of a bright smile that didn’t match him.
Even if you just face him, a lot of fluff will urinate and run away. However, a student from the academy who appeared out of nowhere was making him happy, so he was a swordsman who thought that luck was not like this.
However, the sudden voice forced the battle to stop for a moment.
“Old man!”
“Hmm?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to him when he saw a man intruding into the hall, but the main character was someone Berris knew as well.
Theon, Professor of Manalogy. Why is the professor here?
“I have a problem with my work. An unknown enemy is interfering with our work!”
“What?”
“This is a situation where plans may come to naught. We desperately need help.”
Theon’s explanation made the sword demon’s eyes narrow.
I didn’t like the way he said it, but the one thing he did was the amazing Theon. The fact that he is in such a hurry means that even if the plan goes wrong, it goes wrong.
Theon, who blocked his play, had a surge of murderous thoughts, but he is also a person who knows how to share the seriousness of work.
For his long-cherished wish, cooperation is not an option but a must. The Sword Demon realized that this fight must end.
“It’s unfortunate.”
As the Sword Demon murmured quietly, Veris, who had been listening to their conversation in silence, finally felt like she understood the situation.
The barrier that covered the entire dormitory building. A professor who appeared in the dormitory building on the weekend. A black man who intimidates students. The swordsman who leads them.
Now it feels like the puzzles in my head are being put together. So, it seemed like he knew what the energy of the black righteous man he had previously encountered meant.
“Are you devil followers? And Professor Theon. You must have been the beast of the barrier.”
At the sudden words of Veris, Theon and even the Sword Demon looked at Veris with their eyes wide open.
I thought of Theon as a third-rate extra who passed Veris because he had been quiet all this time. But isn’t that tone too short?
“This guy and that guy…… I am annoyed.”
I could tell that it was a toy the Sword Demon used to play with because Theon also had eyes.
However, seeing Veris insulting him in the face and realizing an important fact made me feel annoyed at once.
“Senior, can I take care of it?”
“With temperament. He’s stronger than you think You know what to do.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Theon swung his staff without hesitation.
Mana is the absolute power that makes the impossible possible. The staff full of mana was aiming at Veris.
─Chow!
