A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Episode 152 Sherry's perspective 1: The Successor of Her Will

The first time I saw the teacher, I had the impression of "someone who doesn't seem confident."

I thought so.

I don't look at the tone of a stalwart tone.

I had some respect for being a superior versus magician, but I wonder what it would be like as a person... it was only natural that there should be a question mark.

But I learned that the recognition was sweet.

Human strength is not attributed to that personality.

At first, I was simply surprised. Because the teacher's swordsmanship was superior to that of men. At least I couldn't catch the sword.

The world is wide.

I've been at a standstill.

When I met Julia, who had returned to the border city so early, I knew the strength beyond my knowledge.

Bertina Wright.

Her sword had already reached the realm of art. The teacher was the best swordsman in human history. There's no doubt about it... but the teacher was never satisfied with himself now.

This is shortly after I joined my apprentice.

"The teacher is really strong. Honestly, I'm surprised...."

"... I'm not satisfied with... my strength yet, am I?

"Huh? Is the teacher still not satisfied?

"Yeah... I think I'm still a long way from being a master..."

"Are you the teacher's master?

"Yes. My mentor... was strong, very, very strong..."

"Better than your current teacher?

"Yeah... it was much stronger than I am now..."

Really? The world is huge. "

"That's right... the world is still... full of things we don't know..."

"If the teacher is still developing, so am I. I will work harder."

"... yeah. Good luck, Shelly."

"Yes!!

The conversation is as memorable as it was yesterday.

The teacher said he was still on the way. I continued to follow my master's back, never satisfied with my strength, but pursued my strength.

I longed for such a back.

My goal was a teacher. I've been following her footsteps the whole time.

Though I was awakened to my abilities as a demon, I had not yet reached my teacher. That meant that the teacher's strength was no longer in the realm of people.

My abilities as a demon tribe improved my basic physical abilities, and even my unique abilities (Extra) were polished.

Even so, the teacher's back was far away. I got impatient with her a long time ago, and I wanted to be strong like a teacher, and I wanted to be strong.

But the reality was ruthless. The teacher was defeated.

I was defeated by a superior Magus, and spread his life in the land of dusk. The strength of a Magus that didn't even reach that teacher. I'm sure it won't reach me right now. It was also understood by the sword of that time.

Even though I abandoned myself and broke into it, the skill of cutting my right eye while wearing myself out in battle with my teacher and engaging with Julia is truly amazing.

But just because it won't arrive now doesn't mean it won't arrive forever. I have no choice but to work hard for another time. I'm sure he's talented. But it's an invisible and irreplaceable element.

Then just do what you can. As the teacher has been doing all along, so have I.

Good morning, Doctor.

When I get up and get dressed, I greet the picture of my teacher.

It's unusual for a teacher to smile with me.

I'll go out respectfully. On the evening of the moon, I sat down and snapped my army shoes as I walked into the exercise area as usual.

While definitely succeeding the teacher's will...

……

After that, he trained as usual, showered, and then headed for the royal castle.

I am supposed to see Her Majesty today. Of course, it's not just a glance. With the imperial decree from His Majesty, I am on my way.

The royal decree... is about the formation of a Premium vs. Mage.

With the death of the teacher, the Premium vs. Mage sequence is new again.

But it's not like before.

I said I would succeed the teacher. It literally said it would succeed the teacher in everything. Then I'll take over the sequence as well...

I've already spoken to the top of the army and Lianne.

I don't know how that happens this time...

Good morning, senpai.

"Sherry, it's you."

Ella, you're early too.

"Yeah. Get up a little early. Okay, let's go."

I met Senpai Eira in front of the royal castle.

That's how we move forward before Her Majesty the Lady King.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming."

In a majestic atmosphere, Her Majesty opened her mouth. Now, in addition to the Premium Warlock, there are also the upper ranks of the army, mainly the generals, and Lianne.

We kneel on the spot and listen to the words.

"We are gathered today to organize the Premium vs. Mage. Now, let me be blunt. The sequence is now Noah Bielschmidt in the 10th position of the sequence. And the first place in the sequence where Bertina Wright was... will be taken over by Sherry Amis. Does anyone have any objections?

At the discretion of the upper ranks of the army, Princess Lianne and Her Majesty, I appeared to be officially ranked first in the Premium vs. Mage series.

But I knew a hundred things wouldn't go so well.

"... that's Roy. Do you disagree?"

"Yes"

It was Mr. Roy who raised his hand in that way.

"I'm not satisfied. A 15-year-old girl is ranked first in the Premium vs. Mage series... and I think she lacks strength."

"Then shall we prove it, Mr. Roy?"

Ah?

When I woosh up, I stare at Mr. Roy. The eyes were clearly full of anger. I'm sure he sees my attitude as arrogant. But this was an unexpected story.

The teacher was mankind's greatest swordsman.

That is why everyone was convinced of the sequence. Of course, there are exceptions like Julia, but the teacher was more noble than anyone and a swordsman respected by everyone.

But how about me?

I just became a Premium vs. Magician recently and have no track record. Nor is he a swordsman respected like a teacher.

Though he has the strength as a superior versus magician, there is no dignity there.

Even if you say you're just a little girl, you won't be able to object.

But still, I understood and decided to succeed the teacher. I did not make the statement without being so prepared.

Stronger than anyone.

It means pure combat power, but it also means being human.

"If you show your strength, you'll admit it, right?

"Sherry, Temee... do you understand what I'm saying?

"Yes, that's what I'm saying, I only have the power to lie down on you. No, that's not all. They say they have the ability to be number one in the Premium vs. Mage series."

"Wow... that's what a 15-year-old girl says. Are you feeling better now that you've just grown a little?

"No, it's a simple fact. I take over from the teacher. But it's not just the secret sword that your teacher gave you. I will also take over the position of 1st in the Premium vs. Mage series."

"Hahaha... I'll laugh at you. You're number one in the sequence? You think I'm gonna succeed Bell? Well, I know to some extent. You may one day become a swordsman beyond Bell. I'll admit that talent. But now is the time. It is I who will succeed Bell. Stay back now."

"... I'll give you back exactly what you said."

"Ha, you barked. Let's do it, Shelly."

"Yes"

That way we will fight here. Of course, there was a suggestion that we should go to the practice hall, but I said it was enough here. That's because I had the confidence to seal Mr. Roy completely.

- Doctor, look at this. I will succeed you.
