Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

"All right, you guys, line up!

Sounding in the hall is the wild voice of a big man. It is a new recruitment test by the demon kings that is taking place in the corner of a warehouse district with no private houses around it.

There are adventurers of all kinds, young and old, standing around a man standing on an impromptu platform loaded with empty boxes, and at the end of their gaze there are thirteen young men lined up in a row.

They are young people who are disgusted with the Demon King system they applied for this new demon king recruiting exam and who want to overthrow the Demon King system. Among them you can see Jack, one of the dark parts of the Adventurers' Union constituted by the Antidemonic Kings, and Seyya, who recently took over the seat of the Great Demon King Lucifer.

Because the figure of Seyya prevails in Leiria rather than as Lucifer the Great Demon King, there is no way that the Dedemonized King adventurers realize who Seyya is. There is also no appearance of Jack active in the dark and this one has not been noticed because he has not appeared in the surface world.

They were completing the first stage of brilliant infiltration as young adventurers who came to take a new recruiting exam for the Dedemonized Kings.

The big man, who doesn't look like he's thinking about spying or anything, laughs with his nose as he looks in turn at the thirteen young men lined up under his eyes.

"Hmm, this time it's a little grainy. Look, we demon kings are an organization that works to disrupt the current demon kings system. But at present, by the birth of the new Great Demon King Lucifer, the people are in a trend to worship the Demon King system again. At the same time, this is an opportunity for us. Now is the only time to crumble the Demon King system, which is not yet the cornerstone of domination."

Seiya did nod as she watched the big man talking in high spirits. If Seyya were to try to disintegrate the current system, it would be effective to aim for moments of change.

For example, even crabs that usually defend themselves with their strong outer skin will still be soft and easily preyed upon shortly after peeling. In other words, Dacrya is now the same as a freshly peeled crab, and this is why this moment is our chance to prey.

"And what we should crave now is instant warfare. Honestly, if I can't afford to polish the garbage from now on and grow it into iron pipes, I don't have that much temper. What we're looking for now is iron pipes, not garbage."

Together we breathe into the words of a big man. The man who sees that reaction shows an increasingly disillusioned appearance, but nevertheless worries about his actions as the person responsible who is entrusted with this occasion.

"Nah, I didn't think you guys had spears from the start. Grinding even iron pipes makes a fine spear. Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

I wonder what the hell the man is trying to say, Jack, but there's no way he won't be able to fool around with a big man's intentions either. Because Jack hits an already sharp demon knife if you compare it to a man's example.

It's hard to find a difference between turning garbage into iron pipe and spearing iron pipe if you look at it from a demon knife. Conversely, Seiya, who had previously been treated like garbage, found himself a little uncomfortable with the big man, but does not do anything to drool his dissatisfaction here.

"Well, we're going to start sorting..."

With that said, I declare with a nigga and a grin that the big man will look over together again.

"Build a pair now. One of them shall be disqualified immediately."

Immediately after the man declares, after a moment, the aspirants try to combine with nearby aspirants in a hurried manner. But all of a sudden, the scene is in disarray, with the three of us offering to form a combination to one person, or someone offering to combine to someone else on the way.

One inefficient action after another by those who cannot calmly analyze their surroundings, but in less than thirty seconds a single combination is formed. And when one last boy is left, a big man smiles at the boy.

"Eyeglasses there, disqualified."

"Wait a minute!

The disqualified eyeglass boy goes under the big man in a hurry and asks for mercy.

"What do you say you know about this! I'm more confident than anyone here, and I hate the existence of the Demon King more than anyone else! There's no way you can choose promising talent this way! I demand a fair exam!

The big man said to throw up when he glanced at the glasses boy who was desperate to plead.

"I don't need incompetence that can't make sober decisions and can't accomplish demands. Leave now."

A man's merciless pronouncement descends on the boy. The other aspirants who were watching how it went are terrified that they were in that situation if they make a mistake, and they decide not to stand out poorly.

The eyeglass boy, who is a party, will inevitably continue to plead, but will not do anything like a big man shifting his gaze to the boy again.

"If you won't admit it, it's until you make me admit it!

The boy who sees the man's attitude goes to exercise his strength all the time here. When I take out a handful of pistols that I had hidden in my nose, I set them up for a big man. Its right-hand finger is already on the trigger, and a green magic formation has unfolded at the gunpoint that manifests the wind attribute.

The time between pronouncing words and putting up a gun is about three seconds. It's a bad speed as a boy's age adventurer, and I can also nod that a boy with glasses is confident in his abilities. But it's only his age story.

The demon king adventurers who were around before the boy put up his gun stood at the same time with weapons to surround the boy. An even bigger man had a red shield to defend himself, and it was clear that even if the boy pulled the trigger, the attack would not pass on the man in one blow.

"You pull the trigger on your own, but if you pull that trigger, don't think you'll have your life at the end."

A big man warns as he stares at a boy with glasses. The demon king adventurers who set up around the boy are also exasperated to kill if the boy moves relentlessly if he moves at all.

This situation was too unfavourable for the eyeglass boy.

aspirants to breathe in the sudden events that took place in front of them. They were overwhelmed by the seriousness of the powerful they saw for the first time, unable to utter words.

The strength that the Dedemonized Kings' Adventurers have now shown is so much more than a concurrent Adventurer. It may not extend to demon kings or people in the dark, but there are just things to do to overthrow demon kings.

Seyya was impressed with the strength of the Dedemonized Kings adventurers.

"What do we do?

"It was my lack of strength. Sorry, sir."

When the big man glances again, the eyeglass boy throws down his gun and raises his hands, as he noticed. Seeing an indication of the boy's unwillingness to resist, the demon king adventurers set up a weapon to urge the boy to return.

There was no place for a boy in this place anymore.

When the boy followed the warehouse with the thought of his hair being pulled back, what remained in the warehouse was silence. The demon king adventurers return to their first position and the aspirants just shut up and stare at the big man.

He stares at the big man with his anxious eyes mixed with relief that the glasses boy could have gone home without anything and wondering what awaits him next.

The big man, gazed at by the aspirants, tells them to throw up when he looks at them together again.

"Congratulations on passing the primary exam first. Then we move on to the secondary test."
