“Everyone, stop.”
As Aishi raised her hand and said that, the demon lords who were advancing all at once stopped in their seats.
“It’s the arrival.”
Aishi who muttered like that, looked inside the defensive wall of the Academy that had turned red.
“Wow, I’m here… Really…”
“Uh, how do I…?”
“Uh, uh…”
A party of former warriors and some students were pitching a tent on the border of the shield to hear the news as quickly as possible.
They were looking at the Demon King, who was exuding a vicious energy in front of them, and Aishi, who was once their comrade, with a sad heart.
“Wow, are we all going to die…?”
“Ha, I’ll surrender… I…”
In addition, the female students who hid in the main building or dormitory of the academy and trembled, burst into tears as they suppressed the momentum of the demon kings that had gathered around the academy.
And even though they were going to fight a decisive battle, there were also those who wanted to change their minds because of the life that the army in front of them gave off.
– What was waiting for me after hitting the barrier is that everyone here wants to fight me, right?
Aishi, who watched the scene with joy, reminiscent of a chaos, begins to send a message to the students inside the defensive wall.
– What an amazing fighting spirit.
As Aishi snapped his fingers, as soon as he arrived at the academy, Frey, tied to the back of Bener, who had fallen to the floor and trembling, floated into the air.
– Your hero has already died so horribly.
Frey, who, as she said, had become a corpse, and had been rolling on the pavement for hours on end, in a state of serious disrepair.
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
Some of the weak-minded students who watched it from a distance bowed their heads and vomited.
“Fray hey hey!!”
“Dragon, the hero…”
“…Oh My God.”
And the students who had a good stomach were also not sane.
The fact that Frey, their last hope, was dancing at the demon king’s hand in the cold was not good for their mental health.
“no…….”
“Hey, it’s all over now…”
Thanks to this, most of the students sat down on their seats with bewildered expressions or hugged each other and started crying.
“”………””
And if Frey returns, the student councils who were working on decorating the academy with placards about the hero to make it look better were at a loss for words.
The leader, who was trying to somehow control the students, and who wanted to apologize to Frey, who had repaired his scar, quietly lowered his head.
The members of the hero’s party, who only knew that Frey had disappeared with his soul shattered, were weeping at his miserable appearance.
“Okay… that’s a very good feeling.”
Aishi looked at them with a happy expression and ate his mouth.
“…but, that useless b*tch is in trouble to the end.”
Then she looked at the Imperial Palace and murmured with a dissatisfied expression.
“I was trying to collect energy before the raid.”
Originally, she was trying to collect energy from the demon before the Academy Siege.
If you take away the power of Eclipse to convert people’s negative emotions into energy, you can easily get the job done.
“Twice…”
However, the Eclipse he had visited recently had completely lost his Godhead and became a mortal.
– Burr…
“If only that energy could be absorbed, everything would have been a breeze.”
Thanks to the original owner of the body who resisted more persistently than expected, she was unable to exert her full power in battle.
So, if you break down the barrier made of ancient magic that is guarding the academy now with sheer force and enter, your power and dignity as a Demon King will be greatly diminished.
– Demon, Demon Lord… I tried to control ancient magic… but it doesn’t seem to work…
“ha?”
– Ma, I’m preparing what the Demon Lord asked for… With only the soul I prepared… Sin, I’m sorry…!
Due to an accidental attack, the power of the ruins originally used by Ruby to release the Academy’s defenses was returned to another place.
“Ugh…”

Even now, he could give orders to the dragons flying in the Empire’s skies to attack the defensive walls, but if he did, they could find out that he was in an imperfect state.
In addition to being forcibly mobilized in an unwanted war, he had a very bad relationship with the demons, so if he showed any flaws, he was more likely to be counterattacked.
“…After all, there is only one way left.”
Because of that, she sighed and came down from the kiln, and started to step closer to the red barrier.
– Grip Jijik…!
The academy’s students backed away with nervous expressions on their faces, while Aishi, who reached out to the defensive wall, began to dye his eyes black once more.
[This is an unusual approach!]
[Barrier Collision!]
[Condition not met…]
[Condition not …….]
“Anyway, what a f*cking management system.”
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Eventually, as complex language and numbers begin to appear in front of her, Aishi grabs the barrier with a genuinely annoyed expression on her face.
[???, welcome.]
[Object: Are you sure you want to delete ＜Ancient Magic Wall>?]
“…okay.”
She glared at the defensive wall while splashing black sparks for a while.
Then, when Aishi saw the phrase that appeared in front of her, she smiled and nodded her head.
[You do not have permission!]
“…what?”
[Protected by ＜GM Mademoiselle>…]
“…under.”
But at the next phrase that came to mind, with a cold expression on her face, she calls out tentacles around her.
[You do not have permission!]
[You do not have permission!]
[You do not have permission!]
After a while, she began to tap the barrier with her tentacles with her cold eyes on her eyes, but only such dignified phrases greeted Aishi.
[This is an unusual approach!]
[Please enter normal release conditions!]
“Anyway, you keep it complicated until the end. It’s useless anyway.”
In the confrontation that lasted for such a long time, Aishi, who was breathing dark energy with her tentacles attached to the defensive wall, mumbled like that and snapped her fingers.
[Run unlock code…]
[Trial of Sublime Ancient Magic]
[Conditions set by Invited Hero ＜Hanbyul Kim>.]
At the same time, mysterious characters began to appear throughout the defense wall.
– I’ll give you a chance to make a choice.
To the students who stared blankly at the letters, Aishi smiled and sent a message.
– Will you stay in the academy until the end and fight, or will you survive by breaking the barrier yourself?
At the same time, the imperial language that students know well begins to appear in the air.
[Fighting the invaders, will you defend the Academy to the end?]
[For/Against]
[If ‘Agree’ exceeds a majority, maintain the defensive wall and enter the ‘Decision Battle’ state.]
[If ‘opposition’ exceeds the majority, the academy’s barrier is removed.]
“What choices will you guys make?”
Aishi started to smile creepily as she looked at the trembling eyes of the students who gradually began to understand the phrases that appeared in front of them.
[※Students who choose No, regardless of the result of the vote, are guaranteed safety by the invaders.]
At the bottom of the phrase, a fatal sentence added in a foreign font was burning black.
.
.
.
.
.
[U.S. Voters: 121]
[US Voters: 106]
[U.S. Voters: 87]
“Yeah, come up with an answer after a lot of discussion.”
Aishi, who was checking the rapidly disappearing number of US voters through the system window that appeared in front of her, murmured with a relaxed expression on her face.
[53 U.S. Voters]
[37 U.S. Voters]
[21 US voters]
“Anyway, the result is decided.”
From the moment everyone fully understood the meaning of the vote, the Sunrise Academy, which had been jumbled up to the level of a riot, was slowly fading away.
At the beginning of the voting period, quite a few students in fear of death gathered together and tried to force them to choose No, but they realized that they could only vote on their own will.
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Even so, there were still those who shouted No to the evil.
Anyway, the Academy, which fell into a lull after the voting was conducted, was divided into two groups.
The extremists described above, those who clicked No as soon as they read the last sentence without even thinking about it, and those who clicked No after contemplation and put on a guilty expression on their faces.
Likewise, those who press Yes after contemplation and look around with anxious expressions, and those who press Yes relatively quickly and put on a grim expression.
Of course, there were still those who could not make a choice and were suffering from panic.
[The number of U.S. voters is less than 10!]
[Start counting……]
The students, who waited for such a long time for the voting to end, and the imperial citizens who gathered to watch the event, began to swallow their breath unknowingly when a new phrase appeared on the defensive wall.
[Counting…]
As the number of points on the system window that informs the count increases, the number of people’s sweat and dry saliva also increases.
– Pajik…!
At that time, their mouths were drying up, the phrases that started to appear on the walls of the academy along with the spark.
[Staff Voting Ratio: 6:4]
A few faculty members who looked at the phrases turned away in a cold sweat.
[1st year voting ratio: 10:0]
The percentage of first-year students who voted right above it.
At that overwhelming proportion, silence fell in the empire momentarily.
[2nd Grade Voting Ratio: 5:5]
Soon, the voting percentage of second-year students that surfaced on it.
While the majority of commoners quietly raised their weapons, most of the noble students began to take a step backwards with a trembling expression on their faces.
[3rd grade vote ratio: 3:7]
“What, what? So what happened!?”
“You don’t have to show which side is for and which side is against!!”
As soon as the voting percentage of third-year students came up, shouts began to erupt from all over the empire.
“Fuhhh… No way, all first-year students will choose to surrender.”
Aishi, who was still listening to those calls with a relaxed expression, smiled happily and finished preparing to give the order to march.
“After all, humans are ugly, I don’t think there’s any need to see the results…”
[Currently ＜Agree/Disagree> Total Ratio: 50:50]
[U.S. Voters: 10]
“….What?”
However, when such a phrase appeared on the defensive wall in a gigantic size, she stopped and began to make a blank expression for the first time since becoming a Demon Lord.
“All the first-year students… chose to fight back?”
“Hello everybody.”
“…..!?”
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Eventually, she muttered as she heard the noise around her, which was several times louder than before, and then her eyes widened.
“I didn’t even know we had the right to vote.”
“…what?”
The 10 commoner dormitory maids, who had not voted until then, had been silent, approaching the border of the defensive wall and telling the stories to the people outside.
“You know that?”
“We were pets of the nobles until a year ago.”
The entire empire froze in no time at the words spoken by the two representatives.
Some were orphans, wandering the streets.
A few others because their parents couldn’t pay their debts.
Or girls who were kidnapped for half-faced crimes and had to be deprived of their personality.
Such women, with a cold expression, explain the torture-like daily life they suffered.
The pain of loss is so painful.
A sleep that is not even the size of a pigsty.
Hard bread given as a meal once every three days.
Hedgehog that digs into the body until it dies.
The feeling of fear that a colleague who slept next to you until yesterday was carried in a sack.
Later, the days of one-dimensional affection with even personality destroyed.
At the point when the women, who were describing a life like hell, almost identical to a false memoir published by someone somewhere, turned their maid clothes to show signs of abuse and pain, no one dared to raise their head.
“I couldn’t even think of dying. Sometimes I tried to commit suicide whenever I came to my senses, but I always failed and I was treated even more horribly.”
“So, one day, one day, while we endured one day and another, hoping that the owner would just get lucky and kill us… the hero saved us.”
“At his birthday party a year ago. At that time, he was naked and drugged, so I don’t remember very well.”
After watching them with complicated expressions, they opened their mouths as they looked at Frey, who was lying face down in front of Aishi with tears in their eyes.
“Since then, every day has been like a miracle. A life free from abuse. Clean, warm food and shelter. And above all, the freedom and opportunities to learn while working as a maid for commoners.”
“The hero saved us. We, fools, didn’t realize it until now.”
Having said that, they all turned their gazes to the top of the barrier.
[U.S. Voters: 5]
[U.S. Voters: 3]
[Non-Vote: 1]
“Even though we are inexperienced in combat and magic.”
“I will add even a little bit of strength on behalf of the hero.”
[Non-Vote: 0]
“After all, it’s the life he gave.”
“I’ve been trained as a hunting dog by Lulu-sama, so I might be able to buy some time.”
[Counting completed….!]
The voting ended as soon as the words were finished.
[The academy enters the final battle.]
As the defense wall, which drew simple and clear results, became several times thicker and radiated red energy in all directions, Aishi shouted with a distorted expression.
“Don’t be arrogant!!”
At the same time, she spouted tentacles in all directions and began to dye her eyes black.
“Do you think you can change the situation with a miracle that happened in the academy that is barely the size of the palm of your hand!!!”
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Even the demons around him hesitated and asked at the disgusting appearance, but Aishi did not care and shouted whale whales.
“Yeah… size matters. Size.”
Then, suddenly, with a creepy smile, she started muttering like that.
“Isn’t it more fun to play on a huge board… than on a narrow and narrow board that can overturn the situation with a small variable?”
Then, with tears in her eyes, she summons a giant system spear in the sky.
[The Last Trial]
[Content: A vote for or against whether to keep the Academy or to give up on it is held for all the people of the Empire]
[If Chansung wins: After destroying the Academy, I will freeze the Sunrise Empire, including all of you, forever.]
[If the opposition wins: only the academy will be invaded, and we will guarantee the safety of all of you.]

Eventually, with all her might, she completed the ‘final ordeal’ in the sky, and she delivers a cool voice to every corner of the empire.
“Let’s start voting again.”
At the same time, system windows of a very simple form began to appear all over the room.
[For / Against]
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Even the noble girls and country girls who were clinging to the mana of the stars distributed by the unknown master.
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Even the children at the nursery school who were sitting on the floor crying.
To the users who regretted their past in tears when they saw the young master’s body, and to Anne who was crying over the leaflets scattered here and there.
To Arya, who had just been on her knees and quietly bowing her head after seeing Frey’s body.
To the girl who had just been saved once again in the alleyway and was smiling with a bashful smile while collecting the sparkling mana on her body.
And for all the people of the Empire.
[Vote counting…]
After a few hours that seemed like eternity.
“I’m sorry. If the management system hadn’t been low, a more brutal ordeal would have been possible.”
As the counting of votes gathered from all over the empire begins, Aishi, who hastily made the final ordeal, begins to eat something with a sad expression on her face.
[However, if the opposition wins, 1/10 of your life will be collected as my energy.]
“Still, this is enough.”
Then, she smiled bitterly when she saw the words written as small as the eyebrows under the huge system window floating in the sky.
“It’s a situation that I’ve already experienced many times in another dimension. The results are clearly visible.”
Then, with a confident expression on her face, she moved towards the defensive wall again.
“Humans are fundamentally ugly and evil beings. And above all, they are selfish.”
After a while, she said that and put her hand on the barrier.
“The defeat of your guy who was destroyed while trying to protect such imperfect idiots…”
However, it was the second time she stopped talking and looked up, making a blank expression for the second time.
[Vote Result: 51:49]
[It is the victory of the pros.]
.
.
.
.
.
“……..why?”
Aishi, who was staring intently at the results that came out after a few hours, murmured with an expression of incomprehension.
“…I can’t understand it. It’s incomprehensible.”
“Of course you will.”
“…..under?”
At that very moment, someone broke through the crowd of shouts and screams.
“Have you ever thought about why humans regret?”
“Who are you… are you?”
“I was just trying to understand why humans feel negative emotions and why they are so strong.”
Aishi, who looked at him with a mysterious expression, who was enveloped in too bright light, raises his hand with an unfamiliar look.
“I did, but now I’m a star…”
“Without making such an effort, I devoured only the tragedy in front of my eyes, so it’s bound to be like this.”
“…!?”
But at the same time, her right hand hardened.
“As you said, humans are imperfect beings.”
“……?”
“But, it is also human to be able to move forward with regret and reflection.”
“you…?”
“That’s why it’s only human beings who can become greater than anything else.”
Taking the opportunity, next to the man who drew his sword from his waist, a woman walked up to him with a casual gait and added a horse.
“Our jewel, you’re good at talking.”
“Kid, I have a question.”
“…yes?”
At the same time as everyone in the room looked shocked at her appearance, the man who was about to move towards Aishi by breaking the fingers of his right hand.
A woman standing right next to the man gently grabs his arm and asks a question.
“Isn’t the voting pretty close?”
“…Yeah, it was.”
“If the vote ended the other way around. What would you do then?”
Hearing that, the man who scratched his head for a moment answered her with a clear voice.
“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
“…that’s your family’s old iron rule, isn’t it?”
“Why not help those who are not enemies?”
As the man said that, she took a step forward, and she shook her head with an absurd smile.
“The measure of value is a bullshit. After all, you are the best hogu in the world.”
“is it?”
“So I like you, Frey.”
“…haha.”
The moment the conversation between the two ended.
“Glare, you can take away the light that hid me now.”
A man’s low voice rang out.
– Gripping support jigging…!!!
At the same time, a huge magic circle was summoned in the sky.
“Yes, why are you… alive…!?”
“Yo, hero…..!!!”
“……… Frey Young Master?”
The empire that had lost its light began to shine again.
A word from the author (author review)
Thanks for watching today…!
Watch the next episode
I hope Roswin will have a baby with Frey
Itsnot like i want to i just want to have more segssssss
hahaha
She’s the last heroine that will acknowledge. The author is not to cruel to ditch her after using her this many time. She’s an important characters that deserved to be happy
Yeah, She’s the key keyngina nya Heh
It is already foreshadowed though, that roswin is the key for the miracle.
Rosowin creo que es el dios de la creación y que quiso ser humana
The tentacle void God sure enjoys being dramatic. Also, to think Roswin would end up playing such a critical role, she’s become a real badass in her own right. Learning what’s essentially a different language in the form of coding and taking up the identity as GM Mademoiselle in order to obstruct the tentacle God in every way possible, even though she probably has to pay an extreme price because she’s just a normal mortal and not a divine being. Also wonder what the significance of restoring the world’s connection to earth will have on the last arc of the story.
