I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

evaluation (1)

After visiting the imperial palace.

A bachelor’s daily life is like a treadmill that is repeated no matter what era it is.

In my case, I was in the position of teaching two students, so I went back even more tightly.

Apart from the perceived time, time passed quickly, and the atmosphere of early summer was gradually felt after passing the time when the clear scent of spring was emanating.

On the way to take an animology class, passing through a garden where some spring flowers still remain.

“Princess Carol, hello.”

A girl holding a large book looked at me and bowed her head.

“okay. It seems to have been accomplished.”

Selina de Flanders.

At the beginning of the semester, the apprentice of the archmage who summoned the highest level spirit in the elemental science class was waiting for me on the way to the forest.

Seeing the spirits in the form of giant horses, enveloped in blue mist, quietly following Selina, it seemed that her control ability was much improved compared to the past, when it was difficult to simply summon.

“yes. Thanks to the Sorceress sharing the cost of summoning, I definitely have more room.”

“It seems that the miscellaneous things don’t attack anymore.”

“that’s right. When I rode Ellie and ran slightly sideways, they ran away with an evil—. After that, it feels like I’m just aiming from a distance, but I’m not lax enough to suffer from anything like that.”

“Good job. Is the spirit’s name Ellie?”

“yes. Because it’s Elles, it’s Ellie. Intuitive, right?”

“…okay.”

Selina often manifested a spirit in the shape of a huge horse enveloped in fog, mounted it, and ran as it was.

So I knew that, but I couldn’t believe I did it intentionally by approaching those who harassed me.

After all, this innocent-looking girl was not an ordinary person.

“Oh, and Prince Carol. On behalf of the Flanders family, thank you.”

Selina, who was caressing her clothes, bowed her head politely.

“There is no need to thank you. After all, everything depended on your family’s abilities.”

After hearing about Selina’s family before, I suddenly became interested and asked someone to investigate Flanders.

However, since the foundation is not certain, it seems unstable, so if Selina is going to do that, it is the result of suggesting that the top center be moved to the Bernstein estate.

After a recent move, it seemed to have settled successfully.

Of course, I told my father, Margrave Heinrich, in person that he was a decent mercenary, so he asked me to consider applying at least once.

If the ability of the Flanders family was lacking, then Margrave Heinrich wouldn’t even look at me no matter what I asked, so in the end, it could be said that their strength was great.

“Nevertheless. Thanks to that, I was able to settle in easily. Really… Thank you. Prince Carol.”

“Even if I don’t succeed, there’s nothing wrong with the family becoming stronger. If Flanders grows successfully, wouldn’t it be good for the Bernstein estate?”

“That Confucius…? Aren’t you the eldest son of the Bernstein family?”

Selina asked, holding the book tightly.

“It did.”

“For the Bernstein family, it is a place so high that we cannot even look at it from our family’s point of view, but to give it up…”

“For me, things like family prestige are meaningless. The position of the head of a large family with heavy responsibility is only a hindrance.”

“You are amazing. That’s why the mindset is different.”

“No big deal, just different priorities. For some, the revival of the family may be their biggest goal, and these are different goals, not superiority and inferiority.”

“okay. You can think of it that way.”

Looking up at me, Selina nodded calmly.

While chatting about this and that with Selina, I passed through a mysterious forest road, where the sounds of mountain birds and grass insects roared, and arrived at the empty lot where the animology class was held.

The students who couldn’t make a spirit contract immediately quit classes, so they definitely felt more secluded compared to the busy early days.

I sat on a flat wooden chair watching them practice their elemental arts as they strolled through the clearing with their spirits.

“The more I look at it, the more amazing it is.”

Eliate murmured to herself as she touched the lightning spirit little by little that I had put together in the shape of a sphere.

As if the spirit of lightning was an unknown entity even from the point of view of Eliate, a professor of animism and an elf, he spent time in animology class to conduct experiments.

“It seems to be getting bigger, right?”

“yes. It has grown well three times in diameter compared to when I first summoned it.”

As if it’s not a lie to say that I’m following my growth, it has more than doubled in size in an instant since the metamorphosis.

Of course, when shaping the sword, it is compressed and molded with willpower, so the shape itself remains the same.

The density of the energy contained inside has completely changed.

Now, even compared to the thunderbolt of the sky, it was not lacking at all.

“The will… is there.”

When Eliate touched it little by little with the wooden staff used for elemental magic, the black sphere crackled and spewed thunderbolts as if it were unpleasant.

Besides, the lightning spirit itself seems to be a fairly high-ranking spirit, except for Selina’s Elestra, the lower-middle-level spirits couldn’t even come close, and I felt that they were watching carefully from a distance.

“It is weak, but there are times when I express my will. At first I couldn’t even feel it at all, but it’s getting stronger.”

“Usually, spirits have their own unique skills, and are assisted through spiritism. What the hell… I can’t even get a feel for it. I searched the records diligently, but couldn’t find anything meaningful. Professor face is not worth it.”

Although he learned basic elemental magic from Eliate, it didn’t mean much due to the lofty nature of Black Lightning.

The only thing the Black Lightning fully accepted was my will.

“I don’t think I need spirit magic because I can use my will.”

“Well… Carl is not a spirit magician. There is no need to stick to this method. It’s just a bit sad. There is almost nothing that can be grasped by actually seeing the lightning spirit that was only mentioned in the records.”

Seeing him sigh and look at the fiery sphere with longing eyes, it seemed quite regrettable.

“The fact that there is not much left in the record means that it was rare to grasp it even in the past.”

“I guess so. there’s nothing we can do. As long as I vehemently reject my energy, there seems to be nothing more I can do. Can you let me know if anything out of the ordinary happens?”

“I will do that. It was thanks to the professor that I got the Black Lightning.”

“thank you. Then, let’s end today’s class here.”

Seeing Eliate withdraw her gaze, I also captured the Black Lightning back inside.

The next day, on my way to take swordsmanship lessons.

As she slowly climbed the shallow hill, she saw Yulia talking to a young man with red hair similar to herself.

“Master. Are you here?”

We were taking swordsmanship classes together anyway, so when we got closer, Yulia politely greeted us.

“okay. Are you going to take a swordsmanship class?”

“yes. I was just on my way.”

The red seaweed-haired young man stared at me as if he was puzzled by the way Yulia bowed to me.

“Julia, who is this? It seems to be in the same grade as you.”

Then he turned his gaze to Yulia again and asked a question.

“This is my master. Brother.”

Somehow, the hair color was similar, so it seemed that they were brothers from the same family.

Judging by the color of the brooch on her school uniform, she is in the third grade.

“teacher…? Did Rosenberg’s daughter become a disciple of another family? Even though we are the same age. What the hell is this, Yulia?”

“Master, you are not the one to judge by your age. Also, there is no law against asking other families to learn from the Rosenberg family, right?”

To the young man’s words, Yulia responded without backing down an inch.

“Tsk, you lack self-awareness as a direct descendant of the family. If you do not intend to disgrace the name of the great Rosenberg, you must prove yourself through your family swordsmanship. Stop borrowing the hands of other families right now.”

“I’ve already sworn, so I can’t.”

“Are you not going to listen to me? I will also report this to the head of the household. Don’t regret it then and quit now. If you do that, I’ll take care of reporting to the head of the family.”

“sorry. Even if my older brother reports to the head of the family, I will not stop.”

If it was something within the Rosenberg family, I didn’t want to interfere at all.

As a teacher, it was hard to see him ignoring and persecuting his disciples.

“You have nothing to be sorry for, Yulia.”

“Master?!”

Leaving the bewildered Yulia behind, she looked at the young man with seaweed hair.

“You bastard, I see how you seduced Yulia with your cunning tongue, but as a direct descendant of the Rosenberg family, it is unacceptable. What family are you from?”

The seaweed-haired young man probably had a similar idea, so he looked at me and asked my name first.

“Carl of Bernstein.”

“Bernstein… Karl of Bernstein. I’ve heard of it. Shame on the great Bernstein family, wretch. Julia…! It’s varied. I can’t imagine calling such a person a teacher and following him. You bastard, could it be that you bewitched Yulia with a trick you used to use at a brothel?”

“There is nothing that cannot be said about blood relatives. Did your sister look like someone who would fall for such a filthy thing?”

“That’s something I don’t know. As a direct descendant of Rosenberg, I warn you. Get your hands off Julia. Stop playing master-disciple, which doesn’t work.”

“I warn you too. Do not interfere with Yulia by using the name of the family. And if you look at my pupil with those disgusting eyes just one more time, you will never see the sun properly again.”

The young man’s face, which had been overflowing with composure while talking with Yulia, hardened and soon began to contort with anger.

“How dare you… You have no manners towards your seniors. Do you believe in Bernstein’s name? Even the greatest Bernstein cannot come out this way to us Rosenberg. Just for freshmen.”

“at all. The family name has nothing to do with it. If you take off the name Rosenberg, what will you be left with? That you entered the academy just a few years early, that insignificant pride?”

aww

The young man, who had bitten his teeth as if they were about to break, straightened his expression again and smiled as if he were laughing.

“There’s nothing a Bernstein’s idiot can’t say.”

“Brother, you talk too harshly.”

Yulia, who was wide-eyed next to me, refuted before I could speak.

“Yulia, have you forgotten who I am after hanging out with someone like this?”

“I know. Master is not someone who can treat you carelessly, no matter how old you are.”

“It is deplorable. Yulia, you’re just being played by that bastard. I really don’t know.”

Yulia’s older brother put his head on one hand and shook his head.

“What do you know, brother?”

“Yulia, stop.”

“Master. sorry.”

“The author was just rude, so it’s nothing for you to apologize for.”

If it had come this far, there was only one thing for a warrior to do.

Coincidentally, this was also an opportunity for Julia.

“You bastard…!”

“There are very good rules in this world. Nobility should not pass insults over. Your behavior has clearly crossed the line.”

“Are you saying you’d dare to challenge me to a duel, with only the modest skills of being the top performer in the entrance exam?”

“okay. Carol of the Bernstein family challenges you to a duel.”

“Even so, I tried to take care of you first. As a senior at the academy, as Yulia’s brother, educating an idiot like you is also a noble’s duty…! Come on, I’ll accept it anyway.”
