The Academy’s Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter chapter 201

201 – Master (5)

I read Arya’s psychology.

She was convinced that I was a nameless hero slaying demons.

I didn’t think I could cover everything, but… , Where did the tail get caught? To the extent that Arya is convinced.

“What are you talking about?”

“The event of the appearance of demons on Elt Island last year.”

Are you talking about the hunting evaluation?

“I dug deep in the center of Elt Island and found mana traces. Mana traces disappear quickly when they come into contact with air, but those buried in the ground last for a long time.”

It wasn’t a lie.

“The mana remnants collected and stored, and the four mana remnants collected in the academy test were compared here. You will know the outcome even if you don’t tell me.”

really… , was not a lie.

I wanted to deny it, but [Psychological Insight] was telling me that what Arya was saying was the truth.

Does that mean that irrefutable evidence has already been available since last year?

… Convince goes.

Alt Island. from the terrestrial giants.

I defeated Kaya of Evil and defeated Elfert of Impermanence. Immediately after that, the giant’s body disappeared, and the place where it was was restored to its original state.

In other words, the remnants of mana left after fighting Kaya of Evil had no choice but to be immediately buried in the soil.

I was in a situation where I couldn’t clean up because I was running away with Lisetta Lionheart.

After all, Aria Lilias was saying that she already knew that I was an unnamed hero.

‘That’s why he called me because he thought this was a good opportunity.’

If it’s a meeting to teach 7-star magic, it’s possible to approach me favorably.

Arya stopped talking and stared at me for a moment to see my reaction.

What should I say? I cleared my complicated mind.

Despite the evidence that I was an unsung hero, the truth has yet to come to the surface. It meant that someone covered up the evidence.

It was not difficult to guess that the person in question was Arya Lilias.

Having said that, a question naturally arises.

‘Why?’

Why did you protect me?

Arya seemed to take my silence as an affirmation, blinking softly and staring into my eyes as she placed her hand on the flat box on the desk.

He seemed very calm and composed.

“I didn’t expect you to answer me lightly, but don’t worry.”

Arya said in a calm tone.

“I am on your side.”

on my side?

“The fatal evidence was covered up. The only thing left openly is clues that will never come to an answer after contemplating who the nameless hero is.”

“That is illegal… .”

“If you’re going to say useless things, keep your mouth shut.”

I said it because I was worried. You have good guts against the Imperial Knights.

He let out a small sigh. It was probably necessary to have a long talk with Aria.

“… Come out, Hild.”

He stretched his left arm forward. An 8-star familiar contract team was engraved on the wrist and emitted a light blue light.

On top of that, ice magic gathered and changed into the shape of a small white dragon.

It was Ice and Snow Dragon – Heald.

[host?]

Ice and Snow Dragon sat on my shoulder and looked at me and Aria alternately, showing a troubled look. It was because I revealed my identity.

Ice and Snow Dragon – Hild. A magical beast in mythology that is said to have been handled by the Ice Emperor in the beginning. It was one of my greatest strengths, proving that I am an unsung hero.

“The answer seems to be this.”

Arya’s eyes widened for a moment, then returned to normal. That person knows how to be surprised.

“Who else besides you? Who knows who I am.”

“Principal Neg… , no, your principal.”

Aria calmly changes her words.

“There may be more people who doubt you, but I only know the two of us. And your headmaster is also on your side.”

I must have needed the help of the academy to compare the mana traces I collected from Elt Island with my mana traces. To collect my mana scars.

Therefore, if Elena Woodline, the principal in charge of Marchen Academy, was involved, there was no need to explain further.

“Why are you two on my side?”

“A great wizard who fights demons and protects humans. A mighty being with the power to easily destroy the kingdom. And the expectation that he would have knowledge that I did not know. I think there are plenty of reasons why I should take someone’s side. Something similar for Elena.”

The nameless hero slayed even a floating island and gained fame around the world.

Therefore, there must be a lot of people who move after considering the gains and losses of an unnamed hero.

Arya would be one of them.

“Isaac, you.”

Arya tilted her head.

“Why did you keep acting when you had that much power? In my opinion… , The way you tried to learn [Ice Lightning] didn’t look like smoke at all.”

took a nap

In ＜Merchen’s Magical Knight＞, Arya had almost no weight, so there was no way to properly know what kind of person she was.

So I organized my thoughts. Let’s not cover everything.

I’m sure you’re sincere when you say you’re on my side, but you’ll have to do the work to find out if you can fully trust her.

People never know when and how they will change. Also, the act of revealing all my secrets obediently is the same as putting my weaknesses in the other person’s hands.

“That, I can’t tell you yet. Hild, go back in.”

[Okay, master.]

Ice and Snow Dragon – Heald became magical again and disappeared like smoke.

The familiar contract team that shone on my wrist disappeared.

“… If it’s difficult to answer, it’s okay now.”

It was nice to have an understanding atmosphere.

Arya opened the flat box on the desk. Inside the box was an old book.

With a flick of her finger, she lifted the book in the box without touching it with telekinesis. The book flew in front of me.

The book was open, floating in the air. The rather worn pages were engraved with hideous-looking pictures of creatures and unreadable language.

“What is this?”

“An old book dealing with demons in history.”

Is this a book about old demons? I’ve never seen anything like this in a game.

The page was turned by telekinesis. There was an illustration of someone I knew, presumed to be a demon. This… Just look at it, it’s a floating island.

“Do you know what creatures are called demons?”

It just came out as a demon in the system in the game, and everyone called it a demon, so I just understood it and said, “Oh, you’re a demon.”

Of course, there was an academic distinction.

“An evil and dangerous creature that can use dark attribute magic. Higher species of monsters.”

Since monsters do not have magic circuits inside their bodies, they cannot use magic, and are like beasts that only harm humans.

It’s different from magic. Witchbeasts refer to non-human creatures that can use magic, and are generally not hostile to humans except for a few evil monsters.

And sometimes, unusual monsters that use dark attribute magic appear, and those creatures are classified as demons. The degree of danger is clearly different from that of monsters, and is hostile to humans without exception.

“Then, do you know that even that demonic creature can reach a level superior to that of the archmage?”

“Yes?”

“No, not just demons. Demons, Elyos, even fairies, maybe even humans… The closer you are to the realm of god, the more you have in common.”

“… What is it?”

The last page of the old book unfolded.

Looking at the picture drawn on the page, I narrowed my eyes. It’s because my eyes are closed.

A demon as if wearing a dress with a long hem. It was also part of his body.

There were so many eyes in that part that it looked grotesque and repulsive.

As seen in The Trial of Frost, it was a picture embodying the evil god Nephid.

“That there are many eyes that can manifest transcendental powers and possess mysterious powers.”

Arya pointed to her eyes.

What comes to mind after the evil god is the truth seen in the ordeal of sandstone.

When the evil spirit brings about the end, I was able to find out that unknown creatures that pop out from the land of Korea also have many eyes.

The question is… How did Arya know that information, where did it come from, and why did she bring it up to me?

The Mage Tower tends to be closed to knowledge and information. Because this is competitive. That’s why it wasn’t strange that there was knowledge and information that only Arya knew.

However, I didn’t know that it was related to demons.

“Eyes seem like appearances, but what is transcendental power?”

“Literally transcendent ability. Create elaborate creatures, change creature souls, create another sun and moon, or intervene in another world.”

“… … .”

I was already guessing.

I just praised him for being awesome, but I didn’t say anything special on purpose.

He’s the kid I’m in love with.

‘Dorothy… .’

Dorothy evaded her planned death and faced a future she couldn’t face.

She has already demonstrated abilities far beyond the human category. It was the ability to observe and intervene in other worlds.

It was like developing transcendent abilities like my minion, the Primordial Demon Beast – Diakan, who broke down the line between life and death.

A genius who is predicted to reach the level of a great wizard within 10 years. Such a prospect is only offered by ordinary human beings.

Dorothy was more than that.

Maybe that’s what made her… .

‘It must be a star fairy.’

Star fairy, Stella.

Stella does not appear in the 2nd year 2nd semester part, 「Fairy War」. None of the ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞ players knew how he was born and eaten.

It was just a kind of MacGuffin.

The guy gave Dorothy the starlight attribute as a gift. That power must be leading Dorothy to a higher level.

“The story from before was what I found out by dispatching wizards from Hegel’s Magic Tower to collect information, rescue old books, and study legends. It has always been that way since before I became the owner of the Magic Tower.”

Was it information that you found out over a long period of time?

It was also strange. Why did this kind of person not have much weight in ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞?

“So I am asking.”

She crossed her arms on the desk and stared at me.

It was time to come to the main point.

“Aren’t you given powers by beings with many eyes?”

This… What are you talking about?

“I wanted to ask if a transcendent being chose you or not.”

How do I know how many eyes the being who possessed me in this world and gave me the ‘status window’ has.

However, it was clear that the game company ‘Hicks’ in Korea was involved in the background of possessing me.

The UI of the system window I see looks the same as the one in ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞ made by the game company.

It’s highly likely that they were the ones who sent me here in the first place. However, their identities were still unknown.

“… What would you do if you were given power by such an existence as the Lord of the Tower said?”

“What I want to do a deal with.”

Arya pointed her finger at me and then at herself.

“I will provide you with the information you need and help you with your steps. Instead, you will provide knowledge that I cannot find out. I’m a wizard A scholar who seeks the truth. A navigator on the sea of knowledge. To me like that, you are truly a blessing of knowledge bestowed by God, a gift that I covet more than making a fortune.”

Even if you read all the books in this world, you won’t be able to find the knowledge I have.

For example, how would you find out the information that Pizza Hot’s rib steak pizza is delicious?

How would the game company ‘Hicks’ find out that ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞, a super high-quality masterpiece game that is considered to be ahead of its time, exists?

Even the fact that the game was set in this world.

In silence, I met Arya’s eyes. Then she closed her eyes, let out a deep sigh, and leaned her back against the back of her chair.

“The disciple came.”

Professor Fernando is here.

“Since we also have to interview Luce Eltania, we should end the conversation here. My suggestion is that I hope you will consider it slowly. And, if you can trust me, I want you to know your purpose.”

I nodded.

“then… , Enter carefully.”

Arya’s eyes seemed to be looking at something other than me.

Thought.

Arya Lilias. She didn’t bother saying ‘I’m on your side’, and her purpose was clear. [Psychological detection] confirmed that all of her words were sincere.

You might as well keep an eye on her for a while. It seemed worthy of favorable consideration.

“Yes. Thank you so far. See you next time, sir.”

The last title is teacher.

In any case, she taught me a great help.

I bowed my upper body, said goodbye, and left the room.

“huh.”

Arya snorted.

“Live and live and listen to everything the teacher says to the archmage.”

It was ridiculous because it was absurd.

* * *

After Isaac, Luce Eltania entered a private interview.

Luce looking around. Neutral property magic, [Sound Wave Block], was deployed in the office. It was a magic often used for soundproofing purposes.

“I will ask you an important question, so listen carefully.”

Arya asked the first question with a serious expression.

“Last night… Did the two of you do it?”

Aria’s eyes sparkle.

Luce showed disgust on his face.
