I Misunderstood the Date and Saved the Demon King

17. The important thing in magic!

Do you have someone you admire? How will the academy students answer if you ask the question?

Won’t you tell me about the war hero Lete? Are you crazy? I should mention the first emperor and the ancestors of my own family. This is an immutable law. What next? Each of them selects ancestor emperors who they think are the best.

You must answer well. Even in these things, the moment you catch the pod, you can go to the goal.

Of course, this only applies to imperial aristocratic students.

Anyway, when you answer well and now come out as a subjective opinion rather than a loyal one. From then on, he would call out several names and slowly bring up Lethe’s name one by one.

The reason why Lethe’s name is mentioned later. That he is not noble. That he is a very recent figure. And it can be pointed out that the forces supporting him are still lacking.

Here, the forces are not political partners like the Crown Princess or the Marquis Agnes, but those who will spread his fame more widely. And that is usually done by the ‘disciples’.

The fact that he doesn’t have direct followers that he would naturally have had a big effect on a person of considerable skill.

Not only in the empire, but also in the elves and dwarves, all the famous ones had disciples.

Through those students, you can let everyone know how good your skills are.

On the other hand, Lethe’s influence is beyond imagination, to the extent that it’s strange that he didn’t have those direct officers.

In that sense, Lethe’s direct follower position, who became a war hero by showing overwhelming appearances in all fields, was enough to arouse curiosity from many people.

How great were his teachings? What amazing things can you get if you become the disciple of the one who single-handedly swept the demons! What kind of waves will the influence of that title cause?

[ Hey! You can use magic like a war hero! ]

[ War hero’s magic apprentice is now the head of the academy’s magic club! ]

[ A disciple of a war hero before becoming a demon king! Don’t you really want to learn his magic?! ]

So, the revised magic club introduction came as a shock to the students.

Oh my God. That war hero’s apprentice was the Demon King? That demon lord teaches us magic again?

Not even a stiff lecture, but a friendly form of club?

It is still terrifying to come into contact with the demon king. I don’t even want to come close. But if that demon king was actually Lethe’s disciple. If it helped end the war….

‘This… Isn’t that fine?’

‘I hate demons. Nope… It’s the magic of that war hero. There were no direct disciples!’

‘All the academy teaches are the basics of the basics, nothing special.’

‘The direct follower’s magic club. So this… The one who goes first has an advantage!’

Magic is the best practical study that will help you for the rest of your life even if you learn a few properly.

How much more so if the magic was supplemented and improved by the war hero Lethe himself? What if even the strongest of the empire have never been taught?!

When I reached that point, my thoughts about being a demon or a demon king faded away. Rather, the fact that they were ‘Lete’s magic directives’ rather than ‘the Demon King’ remained firmly in the students’ minds.

Aren’t those demon kings treating Lethe with utmost sincerity and following them! Of course, Lette also noticed! Then, being a direct disciple would not be a lie!

As a result, students who wanted to join the magic club rushed in in an instant.

“Application! Submit your club application! Give it to me!!”

“As a human being, we only use people with good grades in magic, right?!”

“Where is there such a thing in the club! If you want to do it, do it!”

Has there ever been a crowd like this in a club? In short, never

Thanks to that, the student council went into an uproar as if they were struck by lightning.

“Students!? Club applications are limited per grade! You can’t just come here like this!”

“Release the number limit! Don’t discriminate against only 4th graders!”

“Shouldn’t freshmen be given priority?!”

“Aagh! Please forgive me!—”

A terrible spell that could have set their souls on fire? So, who even burned to death? At all!

What the students saw that day was the scene where the magic barrier, which the famous wizards were talking about every day, saying, ‘Our greatest achievement!’, Was destroyed with a single blow. It was a landscape where the brilliant fireworks spread in all directions.

It’s not that demons are laughing evilly, dripping human blood right in front of their eyes.

With the application in hand, ‘Hey, you! Aren’t you curious about the magic of war heroes?! How can you be called a student if you are not curious about this?!

In this way, the magic club was able to recruit all members within three days of its establishment.

The hero, Haniel. She was gazing at her notice section with her admiration.

[ 1St year magic club – … , Haniel, … , … ]

‘Wow… This, this is how it works?’

Your name written in the middle of the club membership list.

To be honest, I thought it wouldn’t work. Even though I was sure that I would be eliminated, I tried to put in an application or try it once.

Why did you think it wouldn’t work? Isn’t it natural Who is the head of the club? That’s the devil.

And he himself was a warrior. He was one of those who had the destiny to defeat the demons.

Although they have never met directly, the relationship is bound to be awkward. Even if we have never fought a life-and-death battle with each other, there is something that ‘position’ gives us.

Just as it is entirely up to the academy to select students to enter the academy, it is entirely up to the club manager to select club members.

Because of that, Haniel thought that there was no way that she would be chosen by the demon lord.

“Ah! Welcome everyone! Sit down!”

However, that red-haired woman who greeted the club members, Astaroth, did not seem to care at all whether the applicant was a hero or not.

‘That… high smoke… Shall?’

I suddenly had that thought. She said it was very unlikely.

I heard that the four demon lords are close to the war hero Lethe. He said he saved his life before he became the Demon King. And that Lethe is currently working as an instructor at the academy.

If it is not true, the demon lords will try to stay as quiet as possible after seeing Lete’s notice. Maybe that’s why they humble themselves as much as possible and try to blend in among the students.

Inside, he still hides his intent to kill humans, elves, and dwarves. Leaving behind the terrifying mind that if I’m wrong, I’ll just kill everyone!

‘But….’

The hero, who used magic as his main force, stared blankly at the red demon king.

“Come on! The name of this body is Astaroth! As everyone knows, he’s the devil! Oh, you guys know what? That’s the devil! When there were many, there were dozens of people? Actually, it’s a bit ridiculous. No, if there is a king, there should be only one, but if dogs or cows fight a little bit, then I am the demon king and you are the demon king.”

Is that really acting? Really? No matter how you look at it, are you serious? Are you really enjoying yourself?

“Anyway, there were dozens of them! We’ve got it all sorted out! Now the four demon lords are over. How is it. Is this easy to remember? Four Demon Kings! Four are demons! One of them is this body! And now I’m the head of this magic club! Hee hee hee! How is it. Aren’t you excited?!”

Something, something different from what I imagined, but very different. Is that really the ‘demon king’?

A monster that eats humans for breakfast, elves for lunch, and dwarves for dinner every day instead of meals. Cutting hair is a hobby and pulling out a heart is the only pleasure. What did you think it would be?

‘Everything… Was it a lie?’

Confused. I think I can understand why Michaela is suddenly looking for cigarettes or alcohol.

“….”

“….”

Looking at it like this, it seems that he wasn’t the only one who had such a question.

The other members, who were nervous because they were called the Demon King, now all of them were revealing their emotions in their eyes, saying, ‘Is that the Devil?’

“Come on! My introduction is like this. We should take a look at the grand vision of our club. As everyone already knows, I am our coolest man… Whoops, again. I learned past magic from our most wonderful Instructor Lethe. And based on that, I am now using my own magic!”

War Hero Lethe, his own magic. Everyone’s eyes change at Astaroth’s words.

Especially for those like Haniel who were extremely interested in magic from the beginning!

*

Beyond the window of the club room. A man is looking at Astaroth.

“… What the.”

You sold me like this. Lethe let out a terrified sigh.

Should I call this clever? Or the naughty ones! Should I complain After thinking about it for a moment, Lethe finally laughed. Yeah, let’s do something clever. These demon kings.

I never imagined that his title of ‘Magic Weaver’ would lead to such a response. You can just learn the devil’s magic! I thought you would show some interest in it.

They used their hair well. The strategy worked well. As a result, the club achieved a literary success.

However, there is one fact that those students do not know.

‘In the early days, I was really bad at magic, so I used scrolls.’

Suddenly, I remember the time when I was saving the demon lords. Even back then, I had used the surprise magic scroll.

The effect is certain, but the defect came out on only the second sheet, and even thinking about it now, my teeth grind.

A bastard. Lethe growled and recalled the demon who sold the scroll and ate it.

How did he lie so proudly, saying, “This is sure to work!”

For reference, I didn’t kill him. Instead, I kept it alive and ate it over and over again. Even now, when I’m bored, I go to him and steal money. The title is similar to compensation for mental damage.

You dare to hit the head of the possessed chair. You should be grateful that she spared her life. Lete thought so, and she even listened to Astaroth’s story.

“Mister! Not! The instructor said! The important thing in magic!”

What’s important?

“I will definitely kill you! It is the will to die!!”

“… ?”

Hey. Hey! Hey!!-
