The Demon King’s Class Visit

A teacher reciting lessons is sounding off, “Ah, it’s not like that or this, but if you do it like this, if you don’t know what to do next. In a word, this is the case. Now, open the next page.”

Academic classes as usual. The lessons progress quickly with the teacher speaking at a faster rate. Those who don’t understand are left behind and screened out. Well, it doesn’t matter if you do proper preparation like me. Yet the Demon King was in my ear making remarks like an expert, "Ludicrous. The lessons are so inefficient, they miss the point. Is that person truly a teacher? Is he willing to make you understand? Also, do all your lessons differ from historical facts?"

The Demon King, who was invisible to everyone besides me, has been exhaling sighs from the start of the lesson. constantly making such sarcastic comments, "Also, some of the students remain baffled, yet the teacher explains nothing and moves on? Why not ask questions? Tuition has been given, has it not?"

Academy teachers comprise talented people who are qualified to be of the intermediate level or higher of the Imperial Warriors. Enuma continues, "Dear me, this is the institution that fosters the elite of mankind? Absolutely horrid."

He completely disapproves. Sounding off, "The Thousand Swings performed in the previous exercise are of no use. A typical example of gaining pride for merely accomplishing the feat."

I think like, "really? Then, why does Sadie make me do 5,000 reps every day?"

Enuma says, "This is pointless"

At that moment, the inner thoughts I was having in my mind got a reply from the Demon King like normal.

I try again to speak to Enuma through my mind, "Hey, could it be that even if I just talk in my mind-"

Enuma interrupts and confirmed, "Hmm? Ooh! It seems we can have our conversations in this manner."

Cool, my communication internally or mentally without speaking out in public. I won’t be treated as a crazy that is talking to himself.

Well, I go back to the topic that Enuma was laminating before, "More importantly, I’m a little concerned, but practice-swings are useless?"

Enuma recites "I do not mean to say the act makes no sense at all. You will improve mental aptitude and physical strength. However, the manner you and the other students employ makes little sense of it."

I am blown away, the fact that Enuma continues to be cheat skill, "no way"

Enuma starts to lecture, "The swing is to solidify the mold and form. Through repetition, you will naturally be able to move in the correct form. However, if you increase the frequency to such a pointless degree, you shall lose your form due to fatigue and adopt the wrong form numerous times."

I still thought, "it makes sense."

Enuma says, "In general, you are simply swinging without a thought. In actual battle, do you swing at your opponent’s image? When exhausted, you need to at least be able to adopt a basic form, should you not?"

I was quite simply subdued by the shock, but it did make a lot of sense to focus on correct form and not quantity of repetition. It is probably one of my flaws I hope to correct.

Enuma continues "In that sense, while still conscious of that, being able to perform a thousand swings effectively. There is one person in this class."

Curious, I wonder, "Eh?"

Enuma directly denounces me, "Not you? The girl in front, diagonally from you."

Shockingly, besides me, there was a person, The Demon King, recognized as capable.

What kind of amazing person is it to be recognized by that demon king for a moment? I thought, then immediately realized that there was only one such person. Enuma confirmed my thoughts, "That blonde girl. Who is she?"

A princess with beautiful long golden hair. I think the answer promptly, "Ah. Princess Uriko."

Enuma sounded the title with lot of thought, "Princess…"

I go into detail to inform the Demon King, "Oh. Of this empire. His Majesty the Emperor. You better know him as Solja of the Seven Heroes."

Enuma recalls "Hoh, Solja that effeminate Magic Spear Knight. He was the prince at the time but has taken the role of Emperor now. reasonable… "

It was the bloodline of the person well known by the Demon King, deep down I was emotionally moved as I nodded to confirm.

Enuma cites more acknowledgement of the princess "It is true that she is of good pedigree. The sword swings were also splendid, and the amount of intrinsic magic power is remarkable at that age… to fully comprehend the contents of this low-level teacher’s class. Remarkable… a genius."

And it came with complete high praise. In short, the princess is so amazing she is praised to that extent by the Demon King.

Enuma elaborated, "Although you child is truly talented, at the moment that girl is superior."

It feels the same as everyone else, this bastard demon king. I did not want to hear that "damn!"

At that time, I was off my guard, the chalk from the instructor flew and smashed into my forehead and I was not able to avoid it. “Ow!”

The teacher calls out, “Hey, why so absent-minded, Terran? Your hands haven’t moved at all for a while, and you’ve been staring intensely at Uriko.”

As the realization of the statement by the instructor could be heard by everyone, I panicked, ” Eh!?”

The class reacted, “Eeehhh!!??” and the class fell into full public laughter, ”Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

The chalk attack stopped the fast-paced high-speed lesson and caused some teasing. To this, every eye in the class turned to me all at once, and they laughed. And the princess herself does not look back to me, but her face is red with anger, and she is trembling.

I am going to hear another scolding from Uriko later. The instructor walks up to me with a serious look while the class lecture is paused and scolds me, “Seriously, Terran. It doesn’t matter if you’re the son of a hero. As long as you’re in this classroom, the hero’s son and the empire’s princess are just students. Just Terran and Uriko. So let me tell you this?”

The instructor pokes my head while he was preaching and rambling, moved to return to the front of the class again, “Soon, the final career award submission and the selection of the matches for the graduation anniversary will be announced. If you have good results in your three years, you’re sure to get your desired career path…. Well, there is no doubt that the Imperial Knights will be selected for the match. Graduating from the academy and getting the job you want isn’t your goal, it’s a start. Now you’re just doing a pre-start preparation exercise. It’s up to you to get to the starting line, how you run from there and what kind of goal you want to achieve after you graduate. So, you don’t have to listen because you already know the content of the class perfectly, but you still listen. A guy who neglects the preparation exercise can lead to failure. Do you understand?”

Then, the Demon King, who listened to the preaching from the teacher to me, nodded as if impressed. Enuma said, the class is deplorable, but he does have some decent things to say, that teacher."

So, now he’s praising the instructor he called horrid just minutes ago. Well, I understand what I was told, and I agree to a point. Or rather, when the Demon King gives recognition to a human being, I should recognize them too.

The instructor decided to test me, “So, Terran. Answer this history question about the demon army I’m going to issue now. If you can’t answer… It’s supplementary lesson after school for you!”

Enuma now has a complaint, "What!? Such inconvenience. I was promised to visit the city afterwards. Do not take supplementary lessons."

A sudden question. If I can’t answer, I’ll have to make up for it. Not good, I was talking to the Demon King and wasn’t paying attention to the lesson.

The instructor testing me asks, “The 【Three Major Magic Eyes】 that exist in the world of humanity and the demons. Name these three, further name the Magic Eye that the Demon King Enuma was said to have and its abilities. Answer it all.”

I exclaim, “All the abilities!?”

“What’s wrong? If you listened to the class, you should know.”

The question about the Three Major Magic Eyes. In that case, I can manage. I mean, it is a question about the Great Demon King.

“Gu-…… Eh, yes. The "Three Major Magic Eyes" are Herald Eye, Moon Eye, and Glaring Eye. Among them, the magic eye that the Demon King Enuma is said to have been in possession of”

I’m sure it was Herald Eye. I know that much.

However, there were a lot of abilities related to Herald Eyes. Answer everything correctly, I start, “The Heral-“

Enuma interrupts, "Child! This question is a ruse! Do not be fooled!"

Astonished, I paused, huh?

Suddenly, I was stopped by the voice of the Demon King, the perpetrator himself. But what does he mean by a ruse?

Enuma expresses himself with a sigh, "I never, the question is about me. However, I set a trap for my opponents."

In my head still, I question the Demon King, "What do you mean?"

Enuma explains. "My magic eye, it was during wartime, when I divulged to possess Herald Eye, but in fact it was intentional to misinform my enemies. Humanity was the enemy, so I spread fabrication to deceive your father."

Seriously? I didn’t know that. Because the Demon King’s Herald Eye was pretty well known. Enuma elaborated, "The eyes I actually have are the eyes that further evolved from the Herald Eye. It is called the Hex-Gate Eye."

I think, "what is Hex-Gate? It is the first time I’m hearing this."

Enuma said. "This is the eye that is believed to be the root of all Magic Eyes. In the first place, It is said the three Magic Eyes were branched out from a long history passed down to the spread among various descendants. In short, that is the answer when it comes to the question of the three Magic Eyes, as a matter of fact, my eyes are not among the three, they are of a class above them."

I was lucky it was a question about the Demon King himself, otherwise I would have fallen for such a trap. That’s why I answered the instructor with full confidence with a smile.

The instructor spoke up, “Hey, Terran. Answer quickly. What are the eyes of the Demon King?”

I announced in class, “The eyes- The eyes of the beginning of all, not among the three great magic eyes. Hex-Gate Eye!”

The instructor was puzzled. “What was that?”

I reacted “Heh”

Enuma was also stunned. "What?"

The instructor made a dumbfounded face as he tilted his head. The rest of my classmates started buzzing about my answer. The instructor said, “Hey, Terran. Don’t make up magic eyes just because you don’t know the answer!”

“What!?”

Instructor decided to react, “That’s enough, go stand in the hallway!”

I inform the Demon King of my disappointment in him, "ooooooh, Demon Kiiiiiiiiing!?"

Enuma stammered for the first time with me, "N-No! It is no lie, truly! This teacher’s lessons are inaccurate! My eyes are of the hex-gate!"

I refused to listen and continued to blame the Demon King. Enuma is still defending himself, "Believe me! This is no falsehood! This teacher is ignorant of historical facts! Consult with your father and mother! It is not a lie! Did I not reveal it during the final battle? There is no doubt that the Emperor of this country is aware!"

Thus, I ended up being punished for the teacher not being aware of the true power of the Demon King. However, it seems the answer I gave would come to have unforeseen consequences.
