The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 559

Chapter 559

You can stay a kitten forever, but that’s unnatural.

The guys watching will have no choice but to wonder why he hasn’t grown up.

So each time they appeared over time, they were growing little by little.

“He’s alive, you bastard.”

The guards guarding the Royal Class Garrison were also familiar to me.

“I mean, it’s crazy. Where do you sneak like that and follow me?”

surely.

We can’t do this until the war is over.

As the guards say, this army is not in a fixed location, and battles continue with countless soldiers dying.

However, it is actually quite suspicious to be a cat that survives and reappears.

Some time has passed since the war to occupy Serandia ended.

Naturally, the atmosphere of the Royal Class Garrison was subdued, nonetheless.

Three people were killed in the last battle, and the Royal class had to have a large vacancy due to someone’s death, especially during the minority period.

Delphine Izzadra.

Just like Ludwig was, he was a good and nice guy.

According to Sarkegar’s report, Scarlett and Ludwig were in danger, and while trying to save them, he died because he was in danger.

I don’t know what kind of death it would be, but Delphine’s death had to come quite fatally.

To put it bluntly, it’s the death of the guy that was described the most in the original work.

Elemental magic is a very powerful force. Nevertheless, I realized the current situation that his life could be lost in an instant and there would be no exception for anyone.

No matter how much I previewed the future where I was later killed after a fight with Ellen. If I wait for my death in the next battle, I will die.

Changing the future is easy.

It’s just difficult to change it to the future you want.

I should also check Ellen’s condition, but for now, I was thinking of going around the Royal Class Garrison.

The first classmate I encountered at the garrison was Cliffman.

“… … .”

Even in the royal class, there are people who are crazy about cats, and there are people who are not.

Ludwig, Cliffman, and Ludina weren’t interested at all. To be precise, I belonged to the side that turned away.

Should I say that I don’t have the energy to give my heart to or care about small beasts?

But now, Cliffman was still looking down at the cat he had been ignoring.

“… … He was alive.”

Then he quietly lowered his head and stroked my hair once.

For some reason, I felt that the hand gesture, which seemed to be fortunate, had a lot of meaning.

The boy then left without a word.

It wasn’t these little beasts, but something more important should have survived, but he didn’t seem to think so.

* * *

When in cat form, I tend to doublethink.

This is a cat, not me.

So when someone strokes me, I think they are petting the cat, not me.

If I don’t think like that, I can’t stand the fact that people of all ages and genders messing with me here and there in the first place.

I just borrowed the appearance of a cat, and I try to think that the cute one is the cat, not me.

of course.

Doublethink is just sophistry, as it is.

just something… … . If I don’t even think about that, I think I’ll go out of my mind because of the sense of shame.

As Kono Lint said, I am a pervert.

Seeing him do this after transforming into a beast is the most bizarre perversion among real perverts.

Of course, the royal class garrison wasn’t the only one who was my classmate.

There are seniors and juniors. Even though the atmosphere was gloomy, they were happy to see me (the cat) who hadn’t appeared in a long time.

To be honest, the thing that bothers me the most when I’m in cat form is not being petted by someone or constantly touching the soles of my feet.

“Are you hungry? eat this.”

-… … .

What are you trying to eat?

I’m not really a beast!

I don’t want to eat it even if I bring something like warmed milk!

Do you guys know the humiliation of eating something with your head on a plate?

Real cats wouldn’t think of that, but I don’t!

“Are not you hungry?”

-Aug

Even, I don’t know if it’s new, but there are guys who give you what they ate in the restaurant tent.

pain.

If you don’t eat it, you might hear that it has a high-quality mouth despite being a wild animal, so I ate it a few times with my eyes closed.

Having become an animal, it is hard work to do things like an animal.

In a generally subdued atmosphere, I wandered around the Royal Class Garrison.

-Are you taking a break?

– You don’t know when to use it. You should charge it as much as possible. I haven’t even finished half of it yet.

-I’ll be here until the winter is over anyway, so what’s so urgent?

From a distance, he saw Rdina and Kaier arguing.

What was different from what I had seen so far was that somehow the situation seemed to have changed.

He had seen Rdina always bullying Kaier because of the arc crystal charging problem, and he knew that the relationship between the two was very bad.

– It’s not like there aren’t monsters. You were the one who told me to keep it charged all the time, saying you never know when you might need it.

– No, so how many times have I said I was wrong? why really… … . They say I’ve done everything wrong… … .

– How many times have you told me that you are not doing this because you did something wrong to me? why don’t you understand

-I know… … . I know you don’t need to be in such a hurry. Why don’t you understand what I’m saying

But now, Kaier said he would do his own thing, but it was a strange situation different from usual, with Rudina stopping him.

– I do it because I can do it, and I don’t always overdo it. Leave it alone.

-ah… … .

In the end, Rudina, her eyes reddened, cried, and Kaier walked away, leaving Rudina alone.

“That bastard is there again.”

When I turned around at the sound I heard next to me, there was Kono Lint with his arms folded and his tongue clicking.

He looked down at me and lifted me up.

“Where have you been hiding again and now you’re here?”

… … Isn’t this what you’re talking about to Reinhardt?

Didn’t he even notice that I was transforming into a beast?

Even if I did, I don’t think it would change much to be honest.

I have to find out, but the perverted demon lord Reinhardt is only going to become the crazy perverted demon lord Reinhardt.

Kono Lint stares at me.

like thinking about something

he’s stupid

you’re stupid

“… … no way.”

After saying something incomprehensible, he put me down again.

After walking alone for a while, he looks back at me.

-Aug

Let’s tilt our heads.

-… … no way.

The guy did it one more time and then went away.

When I tried to be aware but didn’t see it, I was an idiot.

* * *

Naturally, some people were interested in cats, but not as much as before.

Some people are relieved that these little beasts are still alive, but to think of them in the end can only imagine those who are gone.

Of course, there are not only barracks and restaurants in the Royal Class Garrison.

– Kaang!

“… … Can I try one more time?”

“… … yes.”

I was watching Ludwig pick up the fallen sword in the outdoor gym of the Royal Class Garrison.

The opponent was Scarlett.

Ludwig puts on a clumsy smile and poses while holding a sword with his left arm.

“Sorry, I’m not used to it.”

“… … .”

Ludwig was practicing his left-handed sword.

I didn’t think he was a guy who would give up easily, but he’s trying to find a breakthrough in a situation where he only has his left arm.

Scarlett looks at Ludwig with an expression about to cry.

“Ludwig, I can help you any more. I can do more. but… … .”

“Even if you only have one arm, you can enhance your magic power.”

Ludwig was not wrong. Even in that state, Ludwig must have a level of fighting ability that is incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Even if he loses his arm, a superman is a superman.

However, due to moonshine, Delphine also became a superhuman.

Delphine died.

In a battle where anyone would die, Ludwig would die with a high probability if he faced the battle in that state.

It’s like an act of suicide.

“Ludwig, I will fight for Ludwig’s share. because of me… … . Because Ludwig became like this because of me. Delphine too… … .”

“No, no.”

When Scarlett was about to burst into tears, Ludwig shook his head resolutely.

“No, it’s not your fault.”

“… … .”

“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault for being weak.”

A strange word.

If Delphine’s death isn’t Scarlett’s fault, it shouldn’t be Ludwig’s fault either.

But Ludwig was blaming everything on himself.

pathological level of self-loathing.

Did Ludwig suffer from such things?

“Sorry, asking like this would be a burden on Scarlett as well. Didn’t think of that. Sorry… … .”

“Oh, no. That’s fine.”

“I’ll do it alone, it’s not a fight that requires swordsmanship anyway. It doesn’t take skill to kill monsters.”

He said it was important to be able to hold a weapon as a left hander, not skill.

Saying that it was a selfish act to ask Scarlett, who has no choice but to have a sense of debt to him, to take a look at swordsmanship, Ludwig begins to strengthen his magic alone with a sword in his left hand.

Scarlett offered to help, but Ludwig refused, saying that it would be better for Scarlett to do personal training.

Scarlett finally left the gymnasium stealing her eyes.

responsibility.

guilty.

It was pitiful and pitiful to see from a distance the time between sharing such things.

Ludwig was not alone in the gymnasium.

There were many other seniors and juniors who were passionate about their work, such as sparring or training to enhance magical power.

I sit in a corner of the gymnasium and look at Ludwig.

“Suck!”

-Kooung!

In addition to the sword in the left hand, training is given to kicking and heavy strikes.

Since it is the training of superhumans, the scarecrow is not just a scarecrow, but a special scarecrow made to withstand powerful blows and physical force.

– Puff! thud!

“Quit!”

-dump!

However, as if Ludwig couldn’t keep his balance properly, he fell while trying to kick, and when he swung his sword, he got hit in the head by a sword that bounced off.

Ludwig was right-handed.

But in the end, swords are more often used with both hands. Especially when it comes to fighting monsters.

He lost his main hand, and two-handed swordsmanship became impossible at all.

Losing an arm is not arithmetic.

Therefore, it is not that half of the fighting power has disappeared, but most of it has disappeared.

I watched as Ludwig, who had virtually lost everything, tried to do something with only his left hand and what was left.

-thud!

A roar rings out. The roar doesn’t only come from the scarecrow Ludwig hits.

However, all the other seniors were looking at Ludwig with a bit of boredom.

It must have been because he felt terrified at the sight of Ludwig doing so even though he was injured to the point of being crippled and sweating all over his body.

Ludwig is basically sincere.

It was a fact I knew from the beginning.

However, beating a scarecrow to fight even after losing an arm can be called sincere.

This is madness, not sincerity.

Ludwig is a superhuman and has gone beyond the normal human category.

However, in the end, it is a cart without one wheel.

-thud!

“Kuk!”

I couldn’t even balance properly, so I often fell over, and the sword was, of course, poor.

Someone’s desperate efforts might inspire admiration, but Ludwig’s appearance was just hopeless.

I’m just trying to do something I can’t do.

He would be able to fight without arms, and if he had no legs, he would be able to fight even with prosthetic legs.

However, if you have to deal with monsters, not humans, if you lack something even if you fight in perfect conditions, you will inevitably die.

If Ludwig was a magician, if he was a psychic, he wouldn’t know.

However, fighting with one arm is only trying to find a place to die.

So seniors, juniors, and classmates.

Looking at Ludwig like that, I couldn’t help but get sick of it.

Right now, there is a situation in which the allied forces are reviving the dead as Death Knights. But that doesn’t mean Ludwig has to fight.

That’s just an obsession.

An obsession to try something more.

It’s just, it’s supported by evil.

Ludwig did not scream or throw his sword in pain.

He didn’t scream on his knees asking why things weren’t going well, nor did he say anything about hating the world.

-thud!

-puck!

– Kaang!

He loses his balance and falls, goes to pick up a bounced weapon, and constantly knocks on scarecrows even though his attacks aren’t properly powered.

As if there was no shaking, no despair, no pain.

He is just beating up the scarecrow in an honest and terrifying way.

Never giving up is Ludwig’s characteristic, and that’s the setting I gave him.

However, I couldn’t help but feel the creepy look of Ludwig who didn’t give up even in a situation where he had to give up.

You should give up on this.

You will die in the next battle.

Ludwig thought the world was supposed to give him what he wanted, but the world took Ludwig’s arm.

Ludwig ceased to be the main character.

That’s why there will be no next time, so I have to give up now, but I won’t give up.

I’d rather Ludwig give up and go back to the other side of the story.

I hope you don’t run towards the obvious death.

But nothing seemed to be able to stop Ludwig.

That obsession bordering on madness, I couldn’t seem to stop that longing that I had to do something.

If you are human, there are times when you have to give up.

I realize with my own eyes how inhumane Ludwig’s characteristic of not giving up was.

That figure of Ludwig was not sublime.

It’s so desperate that it’s ugly.

Around the time the sun started to go down as the seniors and juniors who were exhausted gradually left their seats.

“Ludwig.”

Someone who was still in the gymnasium approached Ludwig, who was drenched in sweat even in this cold weather.

“… … huh.”

“I don’t know how many days it has been, stop it now.”

“… … huh?”

“You can’t fight any longer.”

It was only Cliff with a seriously hardened expression.

Did you come because you couldn’t stand to see that miserable situation any longer?

“Go back to the ecliptic. It’s okay because I have a major so far.”

At Cliffman’s words, Ludwig shook his head.

“No, I can do more.”

“no. can not.”

Cliffman stands in front of Ludwig with the sword he is holding on the cradle.

“If you don’t know why, I’ll tell you right now.”

Seeing Ludwig engulfed in blue magic, Cliffman adjusts his posture as if to challenge him.

Ludwig looked at Cliffman and nodded quietly.

“… … Are we going to fight? Then you need to strengthen your magic power… … .”

“You don’t have to use it.”

Cliffman has no weapons.

“I don’t need that much to deal with an asshole.”

“… … .”

Rather than watch Ludwig run to his obvious death, Cliffman seemed to realize the reality on his own and let him disappear from the battlefield.
