《Re: Hero and the Demon King》Tale 11 - Lady-Killer

Author Notes:
A freaking long hiatus.. I have to sort out my own private life too. Sorry for being late
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh..."
I woke up, with my head facing towards the sky. It looks like I fell unconscious again. Rather than that, I feel my head resting on something soft. I tried to lift my body up, just to find out that I was resting on [Eleonor]'s lap on the bleachers.
"Looks like you woke up."
"Eh? Eh? What happened?"
"You won the duel. You fell unconscious after winning."
"Ms. [Eleonor]?"
"What~?"
She says with playful tone. Looks like she knows what i'll ask.
"Why am I resting on your lap?"
"Please think it as service. Yeah, service. For winning."
She smiles innocently. I don't know if she's innocent or just sly.
"Where's the other students who watched the duel?"
"They have gone back to the main building. It has been 30 minutes since the duel ended."
"It means, the third class will start shortly?!"
"Yes."
"What are we waiting for? Let's rush!"
"Okay."
We ran outside the arena, towards the main building. Before we started to run, she grabs my hand. Now, everytime I take a glimpse on her, her face has a bright smile on it. I don't really get her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 minutes ago. Principal's perspective:
"Looks like he's gone."
Ms. [Dianne] says.
"So how was it? What do you think of the [Hero]?"
"Just as the legend says. He's beyond human comprehension. To think his energy reached the 500,000 maximum limit of this device. I could say that he has much more power than that."
"You think so too?"
"After I saw what happened to my crystal ball, that was obvious to think."
She shows me the remains of the crystal ball. After assessing the [Hero]'s strength, now it looks like fine grains of sand.
"Even that no-chant inventory magic. He doesn't need a catalyst to do that. It looks like he's unconsciously making a rip through other dimension."
She asks me:
"Other dimension?"
"Yeah. Most of the Master Magicsmiths believe that there is a dimension only people who experienced a continuous cycle of life, death and resurrection could use. It must be what he's using."

"Is that so."
"Most of the Master Magicsmiths tried to access it, but all of them failed."
After saying that, both of us looked at Mr. [Altair]. He's now resting on Ms. [Vega]'s lap. His face is full of security. Then Ms. [Dianne] asks me.
"Hey, principal. It might be rude for me to ask this, but what's Ms. [Vega]'s relationship with Mr. [Altair]?"
"If you read legends that tells the origin of the [Hero], you'll find out what it is."
"[The Lovers] was it? So.. she's his original wife?"
"You guessed it right."
"It looks like she's unbound from the shackles of the Demon King."
"Don't pry any further."
"Yes. But what about the students? "
"I got something for that matter."
"I, Ulysses Farnoch, the present principal, commands you to bind until I bid you to unbind!"
I cast the binding spell for the accessory tools. After that, I arrange some tools inside the Arena.
This Arena has the feature of playing the previous battles that has been held here. I manipulated the events after Mr. [Altair] defeated Mr. [Hugo]. Now, it looks like a true replica of the battle. I switched my attention to Ms. [Vega].
"Please make yourselves invisible."
"Yes."
She used a spell that hides them from naked eye. Now, it won't be suspicious to see a sleeping Mr. [Altair] while the other one was fighting in the Arena. Earlier, Mr. [Hugo] was transported to the infirmary by Mr. [Curt]. I called him during the fight so that he could transport the one who'll lose consciousness during the fight.
One by one, the students woke up. They watched the clip, and left without any suspicion.
"Then, let's go."
"Yes sir.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Yves]'s perspective:
"Whew. It looks like the class didn't start yet."
When we reached our classroom, some students are still chatting with each other. When they noticed us entering, whispers enveloped the area.
"To think that wimp is strong."
"He hides that kind of ability. How misleading."
Each of them has their own opinion. I looked around for [Charles], but what I saw on his place is his lackeys. Looks like he's still in the infirmary. After we proceed to our seats, a teacher entered the room. He has a bald head and a long white beard and mustache. He also holds a wooden cane, not for assistance in walking, but for magic amplification. He started to speak.

"Yo, brats. I'll be your teacher for Magic Formations and Incantations. The name's [Harold Reginald]. I'm the previous captain of the Royal Army's Magic troops. Due to my age, I'm already retired from my duty, but expect that I'll be strict when it comes to teaching."
After that, he started the lesson.
"Since all of you aren't introduced to magic because of the kingdom's law, i'll start from the basics. Magic is divided into several divisions. It also has different types. Since you've met your [Al-chemi] teacher already, I don't need to discuss those types. What I'll discuss is the divisions of magic."
"Attack Magic is divided with it's difficulty, power, and area of effect. Ranking starts from Common, Intermediate, Rare, Epic, Ancient, Legendary, and World."
"Common rank magic is the first tier of magic. Magics that are categorized here are simple elemental spells that all magicians could use.
Intermediate rank magic is the second tier of magic. It is the improved version of common magic. Most of them are spells that augment the weapon of the user.
Rare rank magic is the third tier of magic. This category holds much more power than earlier two, but its also a single target spell.
Epic rank magic is the fourth of tier magic. This category boasts its balanced nature. Appropriate area-of-effect, strength, and versatility.
Ancient rank magic, also known as Disaster-rank magic, is the fifth tier of magic. Magic within this category has the power to change a town's landscape.
Legendary rank magic is the sixth tier magic. It is much more powerful than Ancient rank magic, making its area of effect encompass the whole kingdom.
And lastly, the World rank magic. It is the seventh tier magic. As its name says, its area of effect could cover the whole world."
After that, one student raised his hand. He asked the teacher.
"Sir, I've been wondering, what is the attribute of [Heal] and [Recovery] Magics? "
"[Recovery] magics are gifts of Gods for the humanity. They are categorized in a larger scale as [Life] Magic. [Earth], [Water], [Fire], and [Void] are gifts of Nature to its children. Nature favors all of living creatures inside our world, making the demons and humans alike able to use [Nature] Magic. Gods are beings that favors humanity, giving them [Life] Magic. The counterpart of our [Life] Magic is the [Curse] Magic. Some humans could use [Curse] Magic, but demons are the ones who regularly use it. "
He continued:
"[Life] and [Curse] Magics are also ranked like the [Nature] spells, but these type of magic doesn't reach Legendary and World rank. Not that it isn't possible, but because no one has ever recorded to use it."
"I'll teach you this semester the whole common and intermediate rank of attack and support spells. If we have some time, I'll add some rare type magic. My abilities only reached Ancient rank so don't expect that i'll teach you higher rank than that. To reach those higher ranks, you need deep connection and understanding with the element you want to use."
After discussing some principles of magic, Mr. [Harold] left the classroom. What shocked us was a voice that came from outside. The voice could be called angelic, but the message it convey was the very opposite of being 'angelic'.
"Hey! Who among the Adventurer's department trashed my brother?! Get out of there!"
All of us goes outside. What we saw was a orange-haired beauty. Her features isn't inferior to [Eleonor]. She has white complexion and reddish lips. Her amber eyes shone like a predator looking for her prey. Her height is a little bit lacking, because her head only reached the top of my shoulder. What shocked us was her chest that is the opposite of her height, it looks like she's having a hard time supporting those pair in her chest. It was much bigger than [Eleonor]'s.
After she said that line, she looks at the tallest looking person in the crowd. I noticed that he's one of [Charles]' lackeys.
"Are you the one who trashed my brother?!"
"No, in fact he's my friend. The one who trashed your brother was him."
He points at me while snickering. So it was [Charles]' sister.
She looks at me while angry. After a few seconds, her angry face was replaced by shock. Of course, you'll be shocked. If your esteemed brother were to be beaten by a weak looking person like me, wouldn't you be shocked.
"At last! I found you!"
"Uhm.. Sorry for your brother!"
I bowed to give apology. She grabs both of my shoulders. What happened after was another shocking announcement.
"Take responsibility and Marry me!"
"Eeeehhhhh?!"
The whole crowd muttered.
