§ 6. The Sword Instructor’s Guidance

The arena was silent.

The scene the students had just witnessed was one that resembled something they’d seen once before. The thought was written all over their faces. Whether they had wanted him to or not, the misfit now known as the Demon King of Tyranny had crossed their minds.

“Not bad,” Sasha said in a natural tone, her voice loud enough for the other students to hear. “As expected of a child genius.” She smiled smugly, flipping her twintails elegantly over her shoulders. “But you still have a long way to go.”

Her words implied that while Anosh was a genius, he couldn’t compare to the Demon King of Tyranny.

“R-Right. That looked super impressive to me just now, but if Lady Sasha still thinks he has room for improvement...”

“Yeah, I thought I was looking at Lord Anos himself, but I guess that isn’t possible.”

“We should have looked deeper into his abyss.”

If the Witch of Destruction from Anos’s own team was claiming this, then the students had no choice but to agree with her. No matter how impressive the kid’s moves appeared to them, that must only be because they weren’t looking deep enough into the abyss. They’d failed to measure my power from the start, so they had no choice but to believe her. For something she’d come up with on the spot, Sasha’s excuse was flawless—or at least it would have been if not for Eldmed.

“My, how wonderful! As one would expect from a boy genius! It’s as if I’m before the Demon King of Tyranny himself,” the Conflagration King said proudly, failing to read the room. She shot him a sharp glare.

The students started muttering amongst themselves again.

“Huh? If Mr. Eldmed’s saying that, then maybe Anosh is amazing after all.”

“So it seems...”

Sasha smiled elegantly. “Why, you’re so gracious with your students, Mr. Eldmed.”

Her words were a little slower than usual—she was probably thinking of how to smooth over the situation.

“But even though he might appear perfect at first glance, he is just a child.”

All eyes were on her.

“If Lady Sasha’s saying that, there must be a reason, right?”

“She’s not the type of person to throw around baseless claims. I wonder what he did wrong.”

“Shh! She’s about to explain.”

“I want to hear too!”

Sasha stiffened. She turned to me as though she were looking into my abyss and opened her mouth...

“Right, Misha? Don’t you think so too?”

...and then left the rest up to her sister.

Misha blinked a few times. “The formation of his spell formula was slow. If he had activated Ingall a few moments later, he would have failed to revive Ramon.”

I’d made sure to make use of the full three seconds Ingall had before bringing Ramon back, but Misha had chosen her words to make it sound as though I’d been close to failing. It was a clever idea.

“His swordsmanship wasn’t that impressive either,” Lay added. “Sure, he deflected the force of the blow, but most of that was due to Ramon’s inexperience. Ramon basically tripped and fell with his own momentum.
