The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon King Who Grows Up While Being Loved Wants To Know The Human~

─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─

Me and Alek-Keeles were facing each other at a distance.

This is a magic laboratory owned by the "Sorcery Guild".

Now it's the Circular Arena (Colosseum) for me and Alek-Keelus to engage in sorcery warfare.

The venue is tight with dirt.

Me and Alek-Keeles, respectively, stand on the north and south sides, facing each other.

There's a referee a short distance away. Two.

If you think it's dangerous, you're supposed to stop it right away.

What we're going to do, of course, is not kill each other.

Put your safety on, it's a sorcery shootout.

Me and Alek-Keirth wear "Flower Decoration" on their heads.

Specifically, it feels like I put flowers on my hair band.

This hairband looks like a replica of 'Antiquities'.

When an attack is about to hit the wearer's body, does it automatically deploy a powerful shield?

However, up to three deployments can be made.

Plus, it consumes a lot of magic, and I can only use it for ten minutes.

They say it's the only place they can use it, and it's the only place with a dedicated magic team.

Every time I use the shield, the decorative flowers are scattered.

I run out of flowers after using it up three times.

It is the loss of those who did so earlier. Also, even if they take away the flower decorations, they are defeated.

By the way, these flower ornaments represent the princess guarded by the Guardian Knight.

Defeat the opponent while protecting the princess.

It seems that knights have been doing that kind of mock warfare for a long time.

I don't think it was in my time in the past. No, was that just me being a country guy?

I have decided on a magic trick I can use.

If you try to use more than some attack magic, you can be stopped by the referee. Defeat is decided on the spot.

It should be noted that some injuries are also healed by magic by the referee.

By the way, it's forbidden to communicate with the outside world during combat.

This is the Battle of the 'Guardian Knight', something to see each one ready for, so let's see.

Iris, Odette and I were going to fight to talk about how far we can go, can't we?

"Hehe. You seem nervous."

Alek-Keirth in front of me, he's laughing.

I guess.

This guy's a C-class magician, even better than me.

The "Magic Guild" begins with the trainees and continues to rank E, D.

Alek-Keirth's C rating is around the middle to top.

Mr. DeMetel, who came to the Guardian Knight Selection Exam, was a C-level, and he's on the cloud for us trainees.

I don't know what to do.

Honestly, I came to the magic battle to see how much Princess Salvia and I have seen Iris.

Pulling out a C-class magician doesn't mean much.

Are you complaining so much about our Alice? Why not?

"Before the game, let me warn you"

Alek-Keirth looked at me and said.

"I have been requested by His Highness Salvia. Remind me of the difference in strength from you here."

"Huh."

"So I have to beat you perfectly. You have a brother to take care of. [M] If it weren't for you, my brother would never have made a stupid mistake and the Keels would never have been ashamed...!

"If you're referring to the" Guardian's Choice Exam, "you apologized to us for admitting that Zilvan-Keels had committed the anomaly later."

He just manipulated the undead and tried to get us through.

He has already been punished, too.

Neither I nor Odette are angry about that.

"It doesn't matter. That my brother defeated you. That the Marquis has pleaded guilty to the Baron. That is a great disgrace to the Keelus Marquis family. His Royal Highness Salvia gave me the opportunity to pluck that shame."

"If you take me down, will you lose your shame?

"Me and you now are equal escort knights, not C-level mages and trainees. If you fight and win in that position, it will prove that we are better off."

"For that you went out of your way, to the escort knight?

"There's no way the Keelus Marquis can be overlooked by the Baron's bastard."

I'm not gonna look down on anybody.

"It doesn't matter either"

"Don't you?"

"That's what nobility is all about. The fact that you are present in the 'Magic Guild' as an escort knight of His Highness Iris, that you normally live in the King's Capital, is what brings shame to our home. I'll show you the overwhelming difference in power here and remind you of the difference in character."

"... is that what it is"

Yeah. I found out the senior aristocrats were awesome opponents.

Has Iris lived here for thirteen years... that's tough.

After all, Iris should be taken from the aristocratic community early......

Before we do that, let's make sure there's no rest of our hearts.

I'm the patron saint of Fira Village. I'll do everything I can to make sure my offspring live comfortably.

"Bye, seniors"

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to borrow your chest, and I'll do my best to fight it"

"Oh. Fine."

Class C magician Alek-Keirth grinned with a loose lip (tickle).

"If that's the case, I'll give the first blow a slack. Show me your power. [M] Ha."

The moment Alek-Keirth said it (Shinkan), the whistle sounded.

It signals the beginning of a sorcery battle.

I activated the Ancient Magic I had painted on both hands.

"Then activate the Flaming God Bullet."

"Huh. I know the magic!

Alek-Keirus laughed with his nose.

"Low level 'ancient magic'? That kind of thing, if it's a C-class sorcerer's magic barrier, you can afford it. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!?

A giant flamebullet fired from my left hand poured down in pursuit of Alek-Keels.

A few small shots. This one's a bluff with his aim off.

Three big ones. This is our destiny.

If you hit them all, they'll run out of shields, but...

"Ah, 'Against Magic Barriers (Anti-Magic Shell)' Ugh!!

Before the "Flower Decoration" shield was activated, Alek-Keirth deployed his own magic barrier.

The flamethrower went straight into his barrier and... oh, it's shaking. It's shaking. The magic barrier is shaking as much as I want.

But won't it penetrate? That's a C-class magician.

It didn't have to be a shock - it was just down to the edge of the arena, and it prevented my flames. Wow.

Because I've changed the way I pour magic, my Fire God Bullet (Ifried Blow) should also be quite powerful.

While I was teaching Odette how to do magic adjustments, I also figured out how to successfully put magic into 'ancient magic', so I took that as a reference. I don't know if it was a good idea.

"... ha, ha, ha"

"One more blow, okay?

"... don't be ridiculous"

Alek-Keirth threw up.

Just let me in for the second shot.

"Don't take a sweet look at the Class C sorcerer because of the common son style of the Baron's!!

Alek-Keirth waved his wand.

The tip of the fingertip and the tip of the cane each begin to draw a different crest.

I see. Is that also the way the wand is used? This will activate magic faster.

Don't study. I'd love to study in The Magic Guild if I could.

"... but I don't want to get under the guy who looks down on others"

"Activate!" Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo) "!"

Alek-Keirus activates' Ancient Magic '.

On his left and right, about the size of a carriage, a sphere of flame appears.

"If you're going to giveup, throw down the flower decorations. So the battle is over."

I proclaim with a glance over here, Alek-Keirth.

"With the power of this' ancient magic ', even the nearest bullet reacts with a' flower ornament 'shield. I just prevented it with my own magic barrier, you lose!!

"... well"

I shook my right-hand wand gently.

With your free left hand, unplug the other cane that you left on your hips.

"Then before you do, I'll let you try the comfort of using your cane."

The cane weighs just fine.

The balance is fine.

When I shake it, I hear a proper (...) sound in it.

That's the 'Grail Chamber of Commerce', you seem to have made it exactly as I instructed.

"And I'm not willing to giveup yet. I can't defile your master's name."

"Either way you're done here!! The referee! Get ready for healing magic!!

Alek-Keirth waved both arms.

A giant sphere of flames flies from left to right this way.

"Peel off Yuki-Grossalia's shield!!" Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo) "!"

"Prevent! My wand!!

I shake my arm.

And he threw the wand in his hands toward the sphere of flames.

"Activated." vs. Magic Barrier (Anti-Magic Shell) "!"

Buh.

There was a translucent barrier around the two canes I threw.

"─ Stupid!? It's a remotely operated magic barrier. Whoa!!?

Alek-Keirth screamed.

In the meantime, the flaming sphere he creates crashes into my 'wand'.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

"... dude. What the hell is that? The magic barrier of the wand is holding the sphere of fire."

"... 'Red Lotus Star Bullet (Burning Meteo)' would be 'Ancient Magic' at the middle level, wouldn't it?

"... what is that!? How could you do that to a trainee!?

Someone's screaming in the audience.

I remotely manipulate the wand to maintain the magic barrier.

The wand is trembling but withstands Alek-Keirth's "Red Lotus Star Bullet".

I can tell by the feeling. That's about it, my 'Against Magic Barrier' won't break.

The barrier that the wand creates, in response to his Red Lotus Bullet...

As it were, I took it.

"Go back. My wand"

Hmm.

The 'wand' that was flying in front of me comes back to me as I spin.

All right. Experimental success.

"Hey, what the fuck is that wand!? Are you a replica of 'Ancient Instruments'!?

"It's just a wand. Before the magic battle, we have been checked for judgment."

In my words, the judges standing in the arena nod.

Alek-Keirth sees teeth in the reaction.

I didn't break any rules.

This wand is just a metal wand with 'Magic Blood' in the cavity inside.

There are two tricks to this' wand '.

One is that you can write a crest in my blood on the grip.

The writing surface is on the front and back, and two crests can be drawn on one wand.

This time he paints the crest of "Against Magic Barriers (Anti-Magic Shell)".

It's what I remember seeing Odette use it.

Thanks to this, I was able to put up a barrier in no time.

Second, there must be a cavity in the cane to put my 'Magic Blood'.

"Magic Blood" is like a limb to me.

Now the wand itself is part of me by filling its contents with my blood.

So that I could fly myself, so that my wand, which is part of me, gained some ability to fly.

Though only for a short time.

".................. dude. What the hell is that?"

A voice came from the audience.

"... the wand flew and put up a magic barrier?

"............ wow. Have you ever seen such magic?

"............ I don't know. I'm sure it's just amazing magic."

Greater stirring.

Then I guess it's time for them to turn up.

"That's the middle level Ancient Magic, Object Manipulation Animated Object!!

"Really? Odette!?"

The cries of Odette and Iris echoed the arena.

All right. Good timing.

"Yes, Your Highness." Object Manipulation "Animate Object" is an "ancient magic" that uses matter as an extension of hands and feet by passing magic. That's why you can activate barriers remotely. "

"Really, Odette? You have that kind of 'ancient magic' right there."

"Yeah. Nothing strange about that!

"Speaking of which, I remember seeing descriptions of Eastern mages using such 'ancient magic'. Among the books in the possession of The Magic Guild was a similar record!! Yes, there was!!

Iris takes over Odette's commentary.

Thanks for following me, both of you.

"... oh. Speaking of which, you did."

"I saw a Class C sorcerer with his cane like a limb."

"Does that mean he's on par with Mr. Alec?

The audience is quieting down.

Looks like he managed to deceive me.

I asked Odette to accompany me in my sorcery practice this time.

The aim is to fight the 'ancient sorcery that exists in reality' way.

The "ancient magic" I use is a lot weird because I arrange it in my own way.

So as far as possible, I had Odette check me out so I could look like a regular magician.

If they think it's strange, Iris and Odette are supposed to follow me, like they do now.

"Now you can fight without a problem."

I took out the third "wand" I raised on my hips.

When I throw it gently, along with the other two canes, I go around me.

"Damn! You! What the hell is that wand!!

I don't mind. No. I like it!!

Alek-Keirth hits flaming magic in a row.

From right, from left. Feint from the front.

The 'wand' plays the falling ball of flame as it moves.

I don't need to take it. You can let me.

This one too. Because I'm getting used to using it a lot.

"What the fuck are you!! Why!! I got a chance to take you down because of you!!

"I'm a knight who protects the princess."

I'll rewrite the crest of both hands.

"Flame Bullets (Ifried Blow)" to "Strengthen Your Body (Boosted)".

"I'll do what I can to improve my child's living environment. Activate!" BOOSTED "2x (DOUBLE)!"

I kick the ground and run out towards Alek-Keels.

The aim is his flower ornament.

I'm Princess Iris' knight now.

Even in his honor, I will take the flower ornaments and let them beat me beautifully (beautiful).

"─ Activate" Ancient Magic "─" Fire Summon "─ Herd! My subordinate!!

Alek-Keirus activates' Ancient Magic '.

A magic formation is born on the ground, from which, a lizard emerges with a flame.

It's the same summons Brother Zeros used. But the numbers are different.

"Giggy, giggy, giggy!!

Fire lizard screams echoed into the arena.

The "fire essence" that emerged is its number 20.

They rush towards me all at once.

"Come! My 'wand'!!

Hin.

Three canes fly in front of me.

Each becomes a triangle that exchanges sides, and develops Triple's "Against Magic Barriers".

"Gyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

oops, and the 'flaming elf' hits the barrier screams.

One. Two. Five more.

The blown 'Flaming Essence' leaves.

They run twice as hard as' physical enhancement '. I can't keep up.

Alek-Keeles himself is falling back a little bit.

With a bright blue face and trembling, he's about to unfold his next sorcery.

Do you still have moves? That's a lot of drawers, C mage.

At that time, there was a whistle.

"Stop it! Alek-Keirth!! That level of technique is not something you can use here! Its' Ancient Magic 'far exceeds the defensive ability of' Flower Decoration '!!

The referee screamed.

"This sorcery battle competes with the skill of fighting while protecting your own princess. Trying to crush an understated opponent with a force push, still a C-class magician!!

"Please keep the referee quiet!! I will release all his' Flower Decoration 'shields as soon as they disappear!! I... I have to beat this guy in noble honor!!

Beneath Alek-Keirth's feet, a huge magic formation was born.

Same as when Teacher Kahle summoned Griffon. Are you going to summon the demon?

"Go! My demon" Flaming Bird (Flare Garda) "!"

"KIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

What Alek-Keels called for was a flaming bird much larger than a human being.

At the same time, he kneels. It's out of magic.

"... an accident. The sorcerers who got too excited about the sorcery fight just overdo each other."

Alek-Keirth said.

"For the rest, His Highness Salvia will do something about it"

"Why are you so far... you are"

I really don't know.

The game time ends in about three minutes.

If Alek-Keeles had been thorough in his defense, he could have been a draw.

"If you don't want to lose, you can draw. Why are you doing this?"

"Something to show the country aristocrats the pride of a senior aristocrat!! I was recognized by His Highness Salvia and because of this I became an escort knight...... underground and draw etc...... is that what you are allowed to do!

The next moment.

The cane I was deploying up front was swallowed by The Flaming Bird.

With the high heat produced by the bird, the wand deforms.

"... don't worry. I'm not gonna kill you."

Beyond the bird, Alek-Keelus was heard.

"I disqualify as a Class C sorcerer. You get quite a scratch. Isn't that fair?

"I say no. I'm sorry to worry about my kid."

I unlocked the 'Against Magic Barrier' in advance (...) Hey (...) The wand fell to the ground.

There's a hole in the hole because of the heat. I can't use it anymore.

In response to the heat generated by the bird, 'Flower Decoration' begins to flash.

The "Flower Decoration" shield is automatically expanded. A seven-color shield occurs before me.

This shield disappears, and twice more, if I deploy the shield again, it will be my loss.

But I'm already ready for this one.

If the wand is broken, the evidence is destroyed.

"I made my kid cry a long time ago. I wouldn't do the same thing twice."

My wand has another hidden feature.

It's an injection of Mystery Blood into a subject.

If there's a hole in his wand, his demon will take my 'magic blood' into his body.

And in that case, it's packed.

"─ Activated" Erosion (Hacking) "!!"

Internal magic - analysis begins.

Central circuit of the user demon - intrusion complete.

Takeover of command - success.

Take control of the user demon "Flaming Bird" - Complete.

My "Magic Blood" is literally a mass of magic.

"Erosion (Hacking)" before all the blood evaporates can take control of the user demon.

Like this (...).

Bikun.

The "Flaming Bird" movement stopped.

"What's up!? My demon!? Defeat Yuki-Grossalia! Why don't you move!!

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!

"Flaming Bird" moves out again.

"Oh! That's right. You got Yuki-Grossalia... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Alek-Keirth makes a puffy face.

Because the "Flamingo" he called ignored me and jumped straight up.

The bird rises vertically, then flips in the air, and stays...

The west audience seated by Princess Salvia-Leastia, the fourth princess - clashed on the ground in front of it and blew it up.

Flames blow up, dividing the arena from the audience, clashing against transparent barriers.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!?

"Ho."

Alek-Keirth exclaimed.

In the meantime, I took the flower decorations from his head.

".................. eh"

"You've got 'flower decorations'. I win."

A little late, the referee whistled.

The game is over.

"Why, why, yeah, eh!?

Is that it?

I hear voices from flower decorations.

If you look closely...... magic equipment is hidden on the back of the hairband. What is this?

"Alek-Keirth. What are you doing!? Can't you see I'm telling you to hurt Iris' escort knight!? Why are you flying demons here?

At the same time as her voice, Princess Salvia is making a scene in the west audience.

I see.

Was this magic device connected to Princess Salvia?

Alek-Keirth also called out "Noble Pride" and so on. In front of Princess Salvia, we just have to be hostile to this one...

"Knock it down! Attack my sister's escort knight!! It won't matter if you win or lose!! There's no way I could have done better than to have that busty little sister pulling the blood of an immortal... who entered the Magic Guild before this one... on the side room kid's ass!!

"─ His Highness Salvia."

I snapped.

"It's against the rules to give instructions to an escort knight during a match."

"What!?

"Then it is also against the rule to lay your hands on my princess. My job is to protect my princess. Don't put your hands inside me. Do not use others. That's it."

I "Erosion (Hacking)" on my magic equipment.

Inject out-of-tolerance (overflow) magic power into the magic tool communication circuit.

Boom, there was a noise, and the magic equipment blew up.

At the same time, in the west audience, Princess Salvia was seen tumbling off the chair.

It is against the rule for the princess to give instructions to the escort knight during the game.

We won't be able to get out of business anyway, so that's fine.

"... you... what... did"

When I realized, Alek-Keirth was looking at me with a blue face.

"How did my Flamingo get Princess Salvia?"

"It's because we use 'ancient magic' that causes magic to run out. You lost focus, lost control, didn't you?

"... sooooooo... right. That's my limit."

Alek-Keirth reached into his ear.

It seemed like I was looking for magic equipment to listen to Princess Salvia.

You realised you couldn't find it, Alek-Keirth sighed like tired.

"... shame on you... I'm uglier than my brother. That's it... if I lose... I can already be in the Sorcery Guild..."

Kakun.

Alek-Keirth lost consciousness.

They really used up all their magic to the limit.

When I looked up, I saw Princess Salvia leaving.

He leaves toward the back as he hits eight of the surrounding maids.

The last time you look at me, you look at me.

Bikun, and, shuddering, I saw him sit in a chair.

After that, she withdrew, supported by her maid.

Me or Iris or Alek-Keeles didn't even try to see it anymore.

"... the trainee beat the C-level sorcerer," he said!?

"... no, that would be the self-destruct of the eldest son of the Marquis Alek-Keels!? I ran out of magic because of the anomaly."

"... but it also means that Yuki-Grossalia drove that far"

"... Princess Iris has found so many talent everywhere..."

The audience also begins to twitch.

The fainted Alek-Keirth is carried by the two referees.

The game is over. Let's go home, too.

That's how I got out of the north entrance, out of the arena.

".................. Ha, ha. Yuki."

Beyond the aisle, there was Iris.

He's blushing, he's out of breath. They've been walking all over it.

My forehead is sweaty. Lifting the hem of the dress all the way up to the knee. Is that what the princess does? Hey.

"Yuki...... sama"

"As an escort knight, I fulfilled my mission. My Lord."

"... I told you not to be impotent"

"Is that all of a sudden? My Lord."

When I answered, I heard a bang on my hand.

Behind Iris, there was Odette in a dress.

I'm whispering, 'I've paid for it'. Ready.

"That's it all of a sudden. Iris."

"... be the one watching."

"If you're the one who's being bullied, tell me."

"If I told you, Mylord, you'd be unscrupulous."

"You can only do it with my permission."

"Do something out of my mental tolerance!!

"I don't care if they say so."

"... Kohon"

The teary-eyed Iris, Kohon, was a taunt,

"As my escort knight, you fought well. Yuki-Grossalia"

"Don't be in Princess mode all of a sudden"

"As a thank you, I would like to invite you to my outhouse."

"Out of the palace? I mean, is it in Iris's room?

"Yep. To protect you"

Iris said so, holding his chest and thanking him.

"You will be the target of attention for a while if you show so much power against C-class mage Alek-Keirth. So how about we show around that this Iris-Leastier trusts you to avoid the unforeseen?"

"What's the real deal?

"... I think we can talk alone for a little while."

"Copy that. Just a little."

"Ugh! My Road!!

That's what Iris said, he laughed.

"Then the tale of the" Magic Alliance "tells me that Mylord will be given the right to explore the giant dungeon" Elusion. "

"The right to explore?

"Yeah. He said he was recognized for being as strong as a C-class magician."

"How far is exploration?

"Until the third layer of 'Elusion'"

"Once upon a time, the people of the Church of the Sanctuary, who were chased through the earth, were said to have fallen into the hierarchy."

Odette took over Iris' words.

Shaking her golden hair, she stands next to Iris and tells her.

"He says whoever stepped there will be recognized as a Class C sorcerer. There is also a rumor that the lost 'antiquities' are hidden there because the people of the 'Sanctuary Church' stood there"

"Do you know anything about Old Lyle and Remilia?

In Alice's expression, Iris said.

The third layer of "Elusion"?

If there's an 'ancient object' there, I'd like to go.

"Whatever it is, it will be after you finish the face-to-face process with the Sorcery Guild."

"I'm troublesome too, but you can't help it"

"That's fine. We're human beings of our time."

That's what I said, Iris' head.

Iris closes his eyes looking kind of ticklish.

Seeing that reaction, Iris still realizes that she's Alice's reincarnator after all.

Well.

We've had our magic battle, and we'll make it big for a while.

Martha and Remy will want to hear about this one.

That's how I left the arena behind Iris and Odette.
