There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

21. interview

Luna and I slowly arrived at the 1st gymnasium.

We were notified to gather by 10 o’clock, but even though we arrived on time, about 2 people had yet to be seen.

The homeroom teacher appeared a little later, but yesterday I woke up and thought he had messy hair, but looking at it now, I can see that he was originally that kind of person.

“Good morning. Everyone. Two, four, six, eight, ten. Hmm? Where are the two of you?”

He gathered us together, counted us, and made sure there were no children.

“I don’t know. He will come. The first day can be a little late.”

If it was like this, I thought I would be late.

Well, it’s not like you’re going to be a warrior party just because you’re good at attendance.

“Today, I will have a personal interview with me before assigning the group. Knowing your specialties, I can roughly match the composition of the group.”

I will definitely tell you during the interview.

Luna and Seria don’t get along, so don’t stick them together.

“Come here every 30 minutes according to your number. You can go back today when it’s over. Then let’s talk about it, warrior.”

Then, since I was last in my class, I shuddered at the thought that I would have to stay here until the end.

I shouldn’t have adjusted my strength… I should have used a cooler magic… to be able to finish 6th place…

Luna gave me a pat on the back.

“Kyaa~ Our Sirius, the one who hates the most~ got caught~”

This behavior is patting, but the content of the talk was very teasing.

hey. Still, it’s better than getting ranked by beating a teacher like you.

Since Luna was second, it was 30 minutes later anyway, so we decided to wait together.

We sat in the corner of the gymnasium and watched Seria being interviewed from the other side.

After seeming to have a conversation for about 20 minutes, Seria pulled out her sword and demonstrated her skills.

The homeroom teacher watched her and shook his head, not knowing why.

It seemed strong enough in my eyes. I don’t know if I can beat the Demon Lord.

In the conversation that followed, Seria turned her back and came toward us with her face flushed red.

“It’s your turn. Luna Giaros.”

Luna nodded, got up from her seat, and went to her homeroom teacher.

And the remaining me and the warrior.

“Dog star.”

“yes?”

“Does Dingxin think I’m weak?”

Seria asked me with a serious expression.

“no?”

I wasn’t flattering to get into the party, but I thought the scene where I had a brief fight with Luna and the skill I just showed was great.

Seria had a troubled expression.

“What did the homeroom teacher say?”

“that is…”

Seria seemed to hesitate whether to speak or not. At least it was certain that it wasn’t a good sound.

“…In this state… there is absolutely no chance of winning against the demon lord…”

Certainly, if that was the criterion, I agreed.

There was no doubt that both Seria and Luna were very strong people, but they had never seen the Demon Lord in person, so if Amelia-sama was the standard, there was no doubt.

If you make a single flaw, you should even open a party.

She seemed even more depressed when I silently agreed in her heart.

“No. I think you have a chance if you become stronger.”

I was about to grow disgusted with my duplicity of cheering for this.

At the timing just before, emphasizing the image of ‘you can’t do it’ to Seria was a benefit to me as a result.

It’s enough for her to get frustrated, forget about subjugating the demon lord, and start a new life.

But as soon as I saw her depressed, I felt sorry for her and comforted her.

My words were almost instinctive.

Enemies living in Homeron Village. It was no different from Yu-wol, the boy who comforted her when she cried because her favorite blouse was torn.

“Is that so…? If I train more… I’ll be able to become stronger…?”

Her blue eyes twinkled.

“Because you’re a warrior. It’s definitely possible.”

I smiled at her.

When she saw me smiling, her expression brightened.

okay. As expected, Seria is pretty when she smiles.

For the first time since we met again, I felt like I had seen her smile properly.

She used to laugh a lot, but it seemed like she stopped laughing so much that I felt pity and anger toward humans soared inside me.

I couldn’t forgive the girls of the Empire who killed the parents of ignorant girls and made it impossible for them to laugh comfortably.

Her face was smiling at Seria, but her clenched fists looked like they were about to bleed.

“Thank you. Sirius. It seems that training is the only answer.”

But don’t listen to me too hard…

I really didn’t know what to do.

“By the way, did you eat some fruit yesterday?”

“Ah… fruit~ Mmm~ It was delicious!”

It’s not me, but the devil’s daughter says it’s delicious.

“Let me know if you want more. There are still many in the room.”

After saying that, Seria left the gymnasium.

Luna, like Seria, talked for about 20 minutes and showed her skills near the end.

Luna seemed to have mentioned that her specialty was martial arts this time as well.

Maybe if you show magic or other talent, there is a high chance that you will be in the same group as the hero and the position is different, so I thought it was an intention to avoid it.

Luna calmly demonstrated the skills I had learned from Yan as well.

Over there, Luna is better than me, so I was watching from a distance and I was really good at it… I waited while sucking my finger.

As if the interview had ended, Luna came over to where I was sitting.

Luna’s expression looked complex and subtle.

It looked better than Seria’s expression, which had rotted earlier.

“what?”

“That’s it… um… ambiguous… no, actually it’s not even vague. One good thing. One bad thing.”

“Then tell me the good things first.”

Luna suddenly opened her chest and spoke with confidence.

“I’m more like a warrior than a warrior!”

…wow…that’s really hard to react to…

You’re Demon King’s daughter… Luna-sama…

If you misinterpret it, it’s immorality…?

…heard of this and liked it…?

She seemed completely uninterested in these facts, only emphasizing to me that she was more highly regarded in terms of combat than Seria.

“Then what’s bad about it? In fact, you’re no different from being number one in fighting power in the academy right now. Is there anything bad about it?”

Her next words made my head spin.

“Um… that’s… to borrow the words of the homeroom teacher exactly…”

[Luna. Your fighting style is very… demonic.]

My God… it was even better because it was true.

Of course, Amelia-sama and Yan, who are among the demons, conveyed the essence of their skills to us.

When I became a pseudo-human, I never thought that there would be such a method of fighting pretending to be human.

“We… are we not getting caught doing this…?”

I said to Luna worriedly.

“It’s a ring guaranteed by the master himself. Even if there is a doubt, there will never be a way to confirm that we are demons.”

With that, I agreed.

If no one else but Amelia-sama vouched for it, the performance would be certain.

“I don’t know the homeroom teacher, but I think you’ll pay attention to Luna. It’s not going to happen just because you care, but let’s be careful not to get caught.”

“That’s right… No, but how do you know that person? Honestly, isn’t that person more suspicious than us?”

Homeroom teacher… Another unpredictable variable in my already ruined Seria Daegu extraction operation came in.

I came suddenly because of Seria’s proof, which was pulled without a specific plan in the first place, but my head hurt from the increasing headaches.

Luna’s interview was over, and my interview was still far away, so we went for a walk and had lunch.

Luna said she would go in first and left me and went back to her room.

Left alone, the more I thought about it, the more I thought that I should try using magic that is only one level higher.

After wandering around the gymnasium with nothing to do, I was finally summoned by the homeroom teacher.

“You’re last. Sirius.”

“yes.”

“To be honest, I’m too excited? hahahaha… I felt it from the first time I saw my classmates, but they have so many personalities…”

The homeroom teacher showed signs of exhaustion. Well, it was understandable because he couldn’t even eat properly and had to deal with the kids for five hours.

“Let’s make it short. Are you okay?”

yes. teacher. You are the best.

“Sirius… doesn’t seem to have a surname… It says Luna servant?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The homeroom teacher laughed as if it was absurd.

“No matter how you look at it, you look weaker than Luna, isn’t this a total salary thief?”

From an outside point of view, it may seem that way. I laughed too because I laughed.

“It’s not wrong. Even if I try to hide it, I think you’ll find out right away.”

Anyway, if you were at that level, you would immediately know the difference between me and Luna.

“Well… As long as the employer is satisfied, it doesn’t matter. His specialty is… Magic? Magic seems to be his specialty.”

I nodded.

“Okay. Then let’s go check it out right away. The magic you’re confident in. Show me one.”

“yes.”

I got up from my seat and went to the center of the gymnasium.

Concerned about what kind of magic to use, I practiced hard in the Pandemonium, and one day I used the magic I wanted to try.

reverse gravity.

The land within the range I specified was dug underground at about the height of a person.

Reverse Gravity is the magic of reversing gravity, and it showed its true value when the opponent was weaker than me.

It was a magic that pressed so hard that it could not even stand on its feet due to its very strong artificial gravity.

I thought it was a pretty good demonstration because it was a magic that was quite difficult and mana management had to be delicate.

When I returned to the homeroom teacher after the cast, the homeroom teacher looked at me with a puzzled expression.

His one-line comment that follows.

“You and Luna too, it’s a very… impersonal way of fighting. Hmmm…”

The face of the homeroom teacher stroking his chin as if thinking about something.

A cold sweat broke out.

It seemed that I had failed to pretend to be a human being.
