The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 325: Around the Demon King and Those Who Aim for the Demon King
In the past month, the teacher has continued to receive rigorous guidance, and the level has finally risen to one.
"I'm up ... I'm up!"
You may think so much about exaggerating a level. But that was a big step forward for him ... Asamu, an instructor at Heroes Preparatory School.
Asam has hit the growth barrier many times. But every time I got over it. He continued his steady training and fighting with monsters that he could beat with his own strength.
But the last wall he hit was too high. For a year or two, I couldn't seem to surpass it even if I kept trying.
At that time, Asam was a C-class adventurer. He himself did not have two names, but some people have gained two names, such as Gomu and Ice Sword, and have reached the stage where they are regarded as heroes locally.
Even in guilds, C-class adventurers are favored over D-class and lower adventurers.
Given that the majority of adventurers end up in class D even if they make an effort, no one will laugh at Aam who has reached class C. Rather, it should be praised.
Asam retired with satisfaction. The Adventurer's Guild evaluated his personality and career and wrote a letter of recommendation, so he was able to return to work at Heroes Preparatory School.
So, Asam taught passionately to share his skills with the students. But as the students grew up and graduated, I remembered not only satisfaction but also loneliness.
And noticed. I still didn't want to give up.
But it was a thorny path for Asam. Certainly, if you continue to defeat monsters that can be defeated without giving up, you may be able to overcome the growth barrier someday. But I don't know when. Almost ten years have passed since I hit the wall.
There is enough reserve. In the morning, he enters the magical dungeon and dungeon, fights at the risk of his life, even though he can win more than 90%, and returns with sweat, a monster, and a body contaminated with his own blood. It would be better to continue the instructor and spend a stable day and live in a comfortable life even at home, rather than repeating such a life every day.
Asam worried about such a thing and was beaten by a teacher. Backed by steady training and solid experience, [Spear Technique] was completely inaccessible and twisted lightly like a child.
To get serious Ayam injured, she was gently squeezed, and was comforted to say "the muscle is good." His pride was broken ... no, filed with a file.
However, there was a huge difference between the teacher and Aisam so much that he could not help.
The next day, Asam asked the teacher for training. The training that the teacher imposed was simply a mock battle and training that made use of the reflections, and every day Asam repeated mock battles with the teacher and other colleagues and teachers who trained him.
Then, he trains himself for the missing parts. The teacher looked closely at the asams as if they had many eyes, and pointed out the problems and the missing parts.
After doing that for about a month, Aesam has finally overcome the growth barrier.
"Teacher! I'm gonna graduate this term and return to adventurer work! Thank you for your guidance!"
Vandalu nodded a lot, grabbing the hands of Aisam, telling her tears.
"You've been following me well. Everything is the result of your efforts. I'm proud of Mr. Asam.
… But I have said many times and I have almost given up, but the students are me and the teachers are you. ”
Certainly I did not train, and I don't think I've gotten my mouth or attitude. But why is the teacher confessing his graduation (change of job) and more thankfulness? School life is fulfilling, but maybe something is different.
It was a Vandalu that I couldn't help thinking.
Meolilith sighed, spreading three documents on the desk.
"Is it okay to say that it's okay, or is it just the beginning? Well, personally, I think I've done well, and I'm going to congratulate and cheer on Aisam's restart."
"True" Randolph, who is Dandrip, told her, with a delicate face that could be both smiled and frowned by the principal and Meorilis's own board, "Isn't it still good?"
"It's still the end of April. It's the end of the current quarter ... that the Asams quit five months before the end of September. By that time you have to find a new instructor.
It's a lot better than I expected. ''
Of the five instructors who have begun to train with Vandaloo with their students, three, including Asam, have resigned. It's not a bad story, however, because you retired because you want to start over as an adventurer. ... All three of them seemed to be able to get past the growth barrier they had been hitting.
By the way, the worst thing that Randolph envisioned was that both the instructor and his classmates were broken and left school.
"To be honest, it's hard to believe that the mock battle alone had allowed the former C-class adventurer's instructor to cross the barrier of growth. I think we've just done it ... but we're three people.Vandaloo should be considered to have the skills to help others grow. "
"Yes ... but it seems to be a different type of senior Alex. He spotted another person's sleeping talent and flourished it. But Vandarou is a veteran who should have no sleeping talent. Has grown up to be an instructor.
Is this a [Guru]? "
[Guide] Meoliris, a former A-class adventurer and an experienced elf who has lived for over a hundred years, had some knowledge of the job.
Although I have never actually met, [Guru] The literature written by the person and his companions has revealed that he is a person who can give something like blessing of the gods to his companions I have.
"It could be. Rather, it would be surprising."
Randolph did not deny. He has only met Heinz once, so he has met with [Guru] other than Vandaloo. …… I was on the same stage for a longer time under the guidance of Kanako.
"There are too many violent people around him, including his mother. If he's really serving the Dukes of Al Krems, if Tuckerd cares, he could turn the Orbaum election into the Al Krem kingdom.
So I have no doubt that he is a [leader]. [Guide] There is something convincing about the natural thoughts. "
"It's an example of reform ... I understand that, but I'm not convinced that Aesam sympathized with the reform and joined Vandaloo."
"I agree."
[Guide] 's power comes from friends. It is much wider than members of the same party, but still has limited range. I just got martial arts and I don't think I'm in that range.
As stated in the literature, it is hoped that Athaum not only pays respect and trust to Vandalu, but must also be a supporter of the reforms advocated by the Duke of Al Krem.
Reason for retirement should be something like "I want to help Vandalu!" In fact, it may not be obvious.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you're the [Guru] or not. It's difficult for the staff to retire, but you can do it, but it's impossible to manage the [Guru]."
The guidance of [Guide] is thought. So if you don't want to be guided, you have to communicate with Vandaloo. He doesn't speak, doesn't look at his eyes, and doesn't read what he wrote. If you do that thoroughly, it should not be guided by Meorilis's knowledge.
…… In fact, Vandalu can guide people even from dreams, so thoroughness is not perfect, but it will have a certain effect.
However, since this is a school and Vandalu is a student ... Recently, the number of faculty and staff who do not treat Vandalu as students is increasing, which is why it is impossible to ensure thoroughness.
If you do such a thing, it is still better to forcibly fail the examination from the beginning.
"Recently, I've been in a staff meeting and I've got to know some of the faculty and staff. It seems that Vandaloo himself was confused just by being taken by Aesams."
"Ah, and it seems Athaam doesn't feel any unnaturalness with Vandaloo .... Isn't it nice that he quit?"
"Yes, it was a problematic attitude as a faculty member. I was too unnatural to delay my response."
Even now, with strong authority, Vandaloo will have a basic ban on faculty and staff facilities, and will reassure him to treat him as a student. Meorilis thought this was OK.
"Now, for the first time, I've survived the first month of enrollment. From now on, Vandalu will be officially going to the Elizabeth party as he declared, but do you feel OK?"
At Hero Preparatory School, new students are allowed to party only with students in the same classroom until one month after enrollment.
Therefore, Vandalu will submit the documents and formally join the Elizabeth party from tomorrow.
By the way, until now, Vandaloo had declared that he would enter Elizabeth's party without permission. Solo students who did not submit any documents to the school side, and were free to participate in any party.
Neither Vandaloo nor Elizabeth violated school rules. …… Instructors insist that Vandalu would not be able to endure the training alone, and Elizabeth would be accused of buying Aota too much.
However, it cannot be said that the instructor who has the ability to receive the instruction from Vandaluu can not say "I can not withstand the training alone", and instead of being blamed by Elizabeth, "Introduce the son of Honorable Countess of Zaccato. I was impressed. "
"Trouble will not occur. As far as Vandaloo's behavior has been, he is basically calm. Even if he is involved in senior students, he will flow safely. `` Even if you try to make your lunch a fool and try to reach out to your sister-in-law's sister Pauvina and your followers, you will not be in trouble with a cunning trick. ''
"I don't think it's a problem in the second half, but it's going to work out that way. There are few events in our school ... it's up to Elizabeth, the party leader, to keep him down."
Hero Preparatory School does not have school events such as forest schools, school festivals, and sports festivals like those at the Earth School. There are trainings where you stay at the Makai and dungeons, and there are practical trainings for escorting the corps with an adult adventurer for about a week, but these are just trainings. It is not compulsory, so it is up to the volunteers to decide whether to do it.
"If possible, I want you to get a good grade and finally graduate."
At that time, Alex was writing in a school dormitory room. The rooms are large enough not to be considered a dormitory for students and furnishings and furnishings are excellent. His home village isn't quite full, but he feels too luxurious to live alone.
However, this dormitory can have students from other nobles of the Dukes, and is a dormitory for an ordinary adventurer's school ... a room that's a bit better than a wooden renting house that just packs two crunchy bunk beds. Doing so would be a source of trouble.
Therefore, it seems that a room equipped with an excellent bed, a dedicated writing desk, storage space and magic items for lighting was prepared.
Thank you because the rent is free for now.
"This month's balance is in the black."
Alex is writing a household account book. That's because schools recommend keeping their own household accounts.
Adventurers are dangerous jobs that do not know when they will die. Because of that, in the past many people lived ephemerally, not only because they had no overnight money.
But then you can't live when you have to retire an adventurer. In addition, some people ran out of money due to drinking and gambling and could not buy new weapons, which caused them to die.
In order to change the situation, each adventurer school has been recommending that students keep a household account book. Alex imitates his ancestors and keeps a household account book.
"But ... the run against Pauvina and Vandaloo is a big deficit."
After confirming that my roommate was completely asleep, he said so and sighed heavily.
Apparently, among them, they have become synonymous with perverts or something. They are alerted by the followers of Vandaloo and the students and instructors who yearn for him as teachers.
Not much to see the status. …… I could see the status of Vandaloo's followers, but I couldn't understand anything because it was full of mosaics. From the amount of mosaics, you know that you have acquired a lot of skills.
Of course, it's not a place to invite others. They have been out of town in the past month, after school, for practical training, so they have no access.
It might be better to give them up in this part.
Elizabeth Sauron, who was not interested until the first quarter, is also worried.
Alex, who was interested in the special training that the Vandaloos were doing, checked the status of Elizabeth and his colleagues again with the Great Appraisal Eyes to refer to their effects.
Elizabeth was over the growth barrier he had been hitting, and Mahalia and Zona were upping their levels and stats.
Of course, Alex is growing more than a month ago, but their growth is clearly at an unusually high pace.
Rumors suggest that the content of the special training is to fight monsters driven by adventurers, but is that true?
(Even adventurers who should be doing the same thing on a daily basis will not go up at that pace. Not only will the adventurers drive away, but they will also have a great deal of experience simply by weakening the monsters and stabbing them. You don't mean that you're gaining ... you can see that the skill level is up.
What is the secret that they have become stronger? It seems that many people have received the blessing of the gods for several years, but they have not gained ……)
Alex, who only knows about [Guide] by legend, was puzzled by the fact that Elizabeth and others became strong in a short time. In particular, I was surprised to see that Elizabeth's level, which should have hit a wall that seems to be quite high when I checked the status with [Magic Eye of the Great Appraisal], has risen.
But the Elizabeths had not yet gained [Vandaloo Blessing]. There was no cause that could be confirmed with the [Magic Eye of the Great Appraisal] because it was only guided.
(Is it still a Vandalu ?? Does he have the unique skills or something to promote the growth of others?) If so ... check the status of his instructor, aside from the instructor's obstruction No, but ... if his status was mosaic, wouldn't it be useless?)
At Orbaum Castle, Prime Minister Urgen Telkatanis reported on the progress of his mission.
"I have already collected ten [Shards of the Demon King] in the sanctuary of the Royal Palace, including the [Shards] protected by the Telkatanis family."
He hangs his head on a piece of paper engraved with something that looks like an unfamiliar saint. Apparently it seems to be an instant altar.
"I already have the fake seals that I need to replace. Do I need five more? I need more time to do that."
Some time ago, Telkatanis received an oracle from a god calling himself Rokudo, and began collecting the [God's Shards] he wanted.
Originally, I heard from the temple director of the temple of Arda that the oracle had been received to strictly manage [Shards of the Demon King], so if you touched each temple saying "I will enshrine and manage it in the sanctuary of the Royal Palace" Implementation was easy.
The sanctuary of the royal palace is actually not much different from the sanctuary of each temple, a space where priests and priests performed rituals in total and made it difficult to intrude and interfere with the outside by magic.
The Royal Palace is higher than the Royal Palace in terms of defensive power, as protected by the Orbaum Election Kingdom's proud “Orbaum Hexagon”. However, there is no point in moving the [Demon King Fragment] given its risk. right.
"Hello, please leave it."
After somehow God gave me some time to stand, Telcatanis stood up and picked up a piece of paper engraved with the sacred mark from the office desk, which looked like an improvised altar, and lost her pocket.
"It takes time to collect pieces protected by other Dukes' temples. There is also a high risk of information leakage. The only way to do this is to move the [Demon King's Fragment] sealed inside the Royal Palace's treasure house. But it needs one of the keys, the elected crown, what to do? "
Telcatanis did not doubt that Rokudo-sei was a god. We examined whether magical communication could have been false or a drug-brainwash, but the words of St. Rokudo were not magic or drug-based. … Of course, no one is hiding and whispering near him.
And Rokudo Seiji told Tel Katanis information that only the god could know. The history and identity of Vandaloo. A new race of Vida and the land of the undead, who tusks over the border mountains, and the defeat of Heinz of Blue Flame Sword.
At least once, you can survive the reforms appealed by the Duke of Al Krems and the existence of Vandalu, while maintaining the order of the Orbaum election if you do not make mistakes. He had to recognize the rights of the new tribe of Vida more broadly than the Arda Reconciliation, such as recognizing Ghoul as a human being, but he thought it would be enough.
But the truth was different. The Duke of Al Krem became a running dog in a country controlled by Vandalu, trying to sell him the Orbaum election.
That may be a happiness for the new race of Vida and the followers of Vida in the elected kingdom. Some of the poor may have the chance to change their lives with it.
But the Temple of Arda and the thick pipe Urgen Telkatanis and their families will lose their status and power. Property and life are also dangerous.
Not a joke. It is ourselves that have supported the election of Orbaum and kept order. It is not forgiven that they reach a brutal end.
"In order to save the few poor, we must prevent the absurdities that sacrifice the majority of the people and the people who govern them."
It is not left to the youngster who has already lost once. This me, chosen by God, exercises power to save the country.
Rokudo Seiji, who stays in the sanctuary of Rodkorte, was satisfactorily watching Urgen Telkatanis.
"Dah, I managed to steer him well thanks to your [Kujin]"
"I'm afraid"
Dar, who was a reincarnate and one of the subordinates of Rokudo, knew God and bowed. It is not magic or drugs that Prime Minister Telkatanis assumed was an oracle. It was due to cheating ability.
Dar's [Kubujin] is an ability to constantly grasp the state of the object and to communicate by telepathy by holding it inside the object.
He used his ability to target Telcatanis and relayed the will of Rokudo.
So Telkatanis was able to hear the six-way voice as in a normal conversation. It would be terrible to ask him to be aware of it. After all, he doesn't know the existence of magic, drugs, and non-skill cheat abilities.
Also, Telcatanis, like many people in the "Lambda" world, has never had an oracle. Therefore, the difference between the ordinary oracle and the conversation between Rokudo by [Kujin] cannot be understood.
Of course, if you ask the head of the temple of Arda, who has a written record of the past and a pipe, you will find out, but the fact that Rokudo taught `` information that can only be known by God '' has disappeared . Although the source is Rhodocorte.
As for the name, he is a god of a different world from the one here, and convinces him that he needs a [Shard of Demon King] in his advent.
To activate this ability, you must be very close to the subject, within about one meter.
"I'm the one who strengthened his abilities so that it can be activated in the sanctuary and without having to meet the subject directly? Oh, I'm not asking for thanks, just making sure you don't grow. '
With the help of Rhodocorte, which had been granted the cheat ability, it was possible to activate.
"I know it. I don't forget that your help is essential. '
When Dar answered, Rodcorte turned his gaze in a different direction to see if he was satisfied. Rokudo didn't care for him, he was waiting for [Demon King Fragment] to gather now or now.
"A god with a body, worthy of me who has reached the sub-god ... A fragment of the body of Gudranis. When enough numbers gather, I will be resurrected and defeat the abominable Undead and truly lead to God. ''
A crystal-like thing was embedded in his chest ... a piece of Gudranis' soul.
