The strongest sage in the inferior position ~ The strongest in the world to the bottom [villager] ~

The story goes back to right after the Kowloon Cup, where I first attended.

Dropping off my father returning to the territory, quiet days ensued for a while.

While studying final exams with a member of the party, I am suddenly summoned to the Royal Palace.

King Amst waited and told me.

The presence of the demon man has been confirmed again.

That happened not in the kingdom of Villa Amst, but in the territory of the Estiban Empire, where our school is located.

The guards defending the territory and the army of the 'Shishi of the Revolution' have collided, and the guards on the territory side have been wiped out, he said.

"The story of a surviving lord says that a [villager] with terrible power was knocking down the guards like paper"

"Is it Volfott?

I ask the king.

But King Amst shook his head.

"I don't know. Witness testimony did not match the characteristics of the Volfotto Demon."

"There could be more than one demon."

"Exactly"

I didn't rule out that possibility.

Perhaps letting Volfott get away with it can also be considered one of them.

But it moves faster than I thought.

The presence of the demon has been exposed by this Kowloon Cup.

You thought you didn't need to hide it anymore?

Or...

I see. You're going to declare war on me.

Demon Wolfott was defeated by [the villagers] me.

I guess it was meant to stir up more people's fears and make them debut glamorously.

That's what Volfott's rampage and my activism have destroyed.

I mean, demons are everywhere.

And being the strongest, the most fearful, he probably wanted to boast to people.

If the territory of the Eistivan Empire, also known as Garber's strongest, were to be raided and the guards wiped out, its impact would be sufficient.

"What happened to that demon?

"It seems that the 'Shifu of the Revolution', which wiped out the territory, withdrew with the Demon Man. Hasn't been confirmed since"

"It's a complete demonstration."

"Perhaps a declaration of war against the Lord."

Apparently, the king came to the same conclusion.

Well, 90% of the time.

If so......

"Next up is the kingdom of Villa Amst."

"You can be sure. I would like to respond to this matter with your Lord as soon as possible, as soon as I call him in. We have to protect this country."

"Unfortunately, it's hard to protect the whole territory."

I wouldn't have had to know if it was 300 years ago, and it's hard with my current powers.

The prints of the Kingdom of Villa Amst are vast.

It takes eight days for a horse to run from west to east all day and night without rest.

It is not that I do not know any further means of mobility, but that is also difficult at this stage.

Then the king laughed.

"Ha ha...... I don't expect that much. But, Lord. Shall we protect the whole country? Think about the scale being pretty big"

Hmm?

You just said this country.

"The Lord is more like a king than a king. Would you like to be king instead of me?

"Play..."

A king is not a pattern.

If you're about to stand on top of people and order them, you're a hundred times faster to move and do it yourself.

I'm just tired.

"Anyway, I want to review the King's defense system so that I can deal with demons."

"Then it's easy. All you have to do is train people who can handle demons."

"Fight the devil...... No, but...... Isn't that hard, Russell? That would mean nurturing the Lord"

"It'll take some time, but no problem, if you give me a year"

"Yes, a year!!

King Amst raised his bare voice.

Too loud a voice, I move my shoulders unexpectedly.

Ooh...... Surprised.

"Yes, in a year you will raise a level of strength equal to that of your Lord"

"You don't have to be equal to me."

Well, I'd prefer that.

If you train with him, you might be stronger.

When I accidentally raise my tongue, I turn back to the king.

"The demand is that you have enough people to defeat the Demon Man."

"Well, yeah."

"Then a year is enough"

"Mmmm...... It's hard to believe. I didn't expect to train people to defeat such monsters in just one year."

"Now let's make a model case first. Narrow down talent."

"I see. Can you prove it first?"

"Can I leave the candidate to you?

"Fine. Russell Guiller Stark. Beginning today, he will be the head of the King's immediate anti-demon headquarters. Treatment and authority is more than a colonel, and of course let's put a budget on it. You can use it as long as you want."

"Thank you"

I bowed my head respectfully.

I feel like I've been put on some kind of king, but if it's a demon tangle, it's hard to say no.

Plus, the budget is luxurious.

Then it would be a good opportunity to charge the royal palace for the costs incurred.

I laughed naughty.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"- That's why we're going to train people who can fight demons"

I'm done explaining.

In front of you, Sheila, Sarasa, Cecil and Rowan.

I sat triangular for a while and listened in silence the whole time.

For a while, the four of them are pokans.

Eventually, three people, except Sheila, shuddered rattled.

"" "In a year, I'll be stronger than the demon man. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

"Oh, can you do that? Really?"

"Hey, that's hard, actually..."

"But if you say you can do Russell,"

I was confused.

I don't know if I can do it.

So far, I wouldn't think of an image that beats that Volfott.

But Sheila's will is strong.

"I believe your brother."

You stood by me.

Then Cecil raises her hand.

"Hey, that means you told us that story..."

"Oh. I want you guys to be that model case. I want you to be a man who can defeat the demons and protect the future of the country."

"We..."

"We will defeat the devil"

"The future of the country..."

Rowan, Sarasa and Cecil flaunt.

Were the words a little too vague?

No, the three of them didn't come to Adventurers School in the first place because they wanted to protect their country.

Sarasa and Cecil, to take over the store.

Rowan is here to be an adventurer.

There, even if you get the power to defeat the demon, if you ask me if I will need it, I can take it for granted with a question mark.

"I won't force you..."

"Yeah? Maybe, Russell. You think we're gonna say no?

"No, but you have your way..."

"You're an idiot. You can't come all the way here and walk away."

"But Cecil. You have a family business."

Then Cecil laughed to be played.

"Did you even think about that? I see. You're taking a step back on us because of that."

"No?

"I'll take over the store. But not now."

Cecil clearly communicates her will.

My greasy eyes burned up like flames.

"My dream hasn't changed since I met Russell."

Be strong......

"For my best friend. And for your people."

"Cecil......"

"What the hell. Don't bring the good stuff, Cecil."

Rowan scratched his own hair with gullibility.

Eventually, when you put your hands on my head, you spin your hair around.

"I'm so sorry, but everything I wanted to say, Cecil told me. I agree. Don't be shy now, it's disgusting. Keep us here for a long time."

"Rowan, you..."

"We all want to protect our loved ones together.... and I believe in it."

Because I believe in you, Russell.

Sarasa smiled.

Seeing that loud grin, something like a lump left in my chest blows away.

I laughed when they caught me.

Good...... Meet these guys......

"Of course, Sheila's coming."

Cecil asks.

Sheila snorted.

"Yes, because the place where your brother is is is where I am. Whether that's the battlefield, hell or not, I'll give it to you."

"Ha... That's Sheila. I'm not ready."

Cecil laughs bitterly.

Instead, Rowan opened his mouth.

"So? Making us stronger than demons in a year can make us do a hell of a lot more, we can't."

Rowan shows his laid-back face.

Though I made a statement of intent to participate, I seem to be reluctant to be lurked by me.

"Hehe...... Rowan, you're the one who told me not to hesitate."

"I told you so, too. Don't take us too far."

"Don't worry. You guys have fun and fun..."

Let's take him to hell......
