§ 17. Playing in the Water with the Demon King

The bell rang, signaling the end of classes for the day.

“Oh, it’s over already,” Eldmed said. “Goodness. Fun lessons always go by so quickly.” He spun his cane and stored it in a magic circle. “Tell me, Mr. Shin, are you free after this?”

“Yes.”

“Wonderful. Come with me. If we’re going to slay some dragons, we have to find them first. The students aren’t capable of that themselves yet.”

Shin looked over at me.

“Bwa ha ha! It wouldn’t be much of a class if we left it to him.”

“I shall accompany you.”

The two used Gatom and left the auditorium.

“It’s finally over,” Eleonore said, stretching her arms. Zeshia stretched as if to mimick her.

“Studying...slaying...”

“Yep. And now it’s time to play!”

“Wait, were you serious about the water thing?” Sasha asked in surprise.

“It’s not a bad idea,” Lay replied.

Misa grinned. “Right? It’s a hot day, so the weather’s perfect for taking a dip.”

“Besides, if I look like I have nothing to do, Headmaster Zamira will keep bothering me.”

Sasha frowned at the thought of Zamira. “Oh, that’s true.”

“Sounds like fun,” Misha remarked.

Sasha nodded, smiling a little. “Yeah. Let’s go.”

She reached out and took my hand, linking her other hand with Misha’s and forming a chain with the others. I then cast Gatom, and our vision turned white. The next moment, we were beside the holy lake. White sand spread out before us, the water beyond it glinting varying shades of blue. The water’s edge was shallow like a beach. Unlike the location used for the last inter-academy exam, this spot was perfect for splashing around in the water.

I was about to head towards the lake when I sensed someone’s gaze on me and turned around. A man in scarlet uniform was watching us. It was the uniform of the Hero Academy. The scarlet color meant he was in the selective class.

The man was tall and slender, and his right eye was hidden behind long hair. This wasn’t someone I recognized. Class had only just finished, so had he been out here skipping school?

We made eye contact for a brief moment, then he turned away without any particular reaction. Something on his index finger caught the light, catching my attention. It was a ring—an unusual one too. It was made of some kind of animal claw and was adorned with a thin layer of hide.

The gem set in the surface was odd as well. At the center of the clear, black stone was a scarlet source of light that illuminated the entire stone. However, that light remained trapped inside of the stone, giving it a mysterious radiance.

While I wasn’t familiar with the other materials, that thin hide wrapped around the ring was dragon skin, wasn’t it?

“That’s an unusual ring,” I said. The man came to a stop. “Where did you get it?”

“It’s a traditional craft from my homeland,” he said before taking his leave.

A traditional craft, huh? The Royalists had said the man who’d given them their dragon had worn an odd ring as well.
