Thinking that I was favorable to his claims, Ramon kept going with his spiel.
We, the Royalists, must correct this distorted history of Dilhade. Even if it ans defying the current Demon KIng. Thats the mission imposed on those of us of noble blood. We must take back the demon nation, for the sake of the now deceased genuine Demon King as well. (Ramon)
Maybe he let his guard down because I was a kid, but he kept babbling on and on about his true feelings.
Or maybe this was to hide the fact that there was sothing going on behind the scenes?
Alright, I got your ssage. In other words, the Demon KIng of Tyranny is the bad guy. (Anos)
When he heard reach that short-sighted conclusion, Ramons mouth twisted into a grin, as if this was what he wanted out of .
Exactly. I think you and I are gonna get along just fine, Anosh. (Ramon)
Ramon held out his hand.
I responded with a handshake, and asked him a more in-depth question.
If possible, Id like you to introduce . (Anos)
Ramons complexion changed.
What are you talking about? (Ramon)
I heard there was a resistance group called the Royalists. I dont know the details about it, but resistance ans that theyre on the side of justice, right? (Anos)
Ramon made a brooding expression.
Dont be ridiculous. The Royalist faction has already been dismantled. Well, I used to be one of them, so I just accidentally ran my mouth out of old habits. (Ramon)
I see.
So that was his way of searching for who opposed the current Demon King.
Besides, those on the side of justice dont reveal themselves so easily, Anosh. Ramon said, as if he werent as annoyed with my question as he would have believe.
Although, if you and I are on the sa page, I could introduce you to my pals. (Ramon)
Ramon smiled suggestively.
I had no idea how big it was, but it definitely looked like there was a resistance group at work behind the scenes.
I had a feeling that if I kept up this pace, I could have him introduce to them, but he was still not certain about it.
Maybe I had to show him my worth.
As a resistance group, surely they were desperately searching for a military force that could oppose the Demon Kings army.
Even if I was a student of the Demon King Academy, judging from the fact that he approached a child like , it was obvious that they were lacking in human resources.
I can be useful to you. (Anos)
Haha! Dont get so carried away when youre just a kid. (Ramon)
Let show you. I said while leisurely holding my iron sword.
As if treating like a child, Ramon laughed again.
Alright, then. How good are you with a sword? (Ramon)
Not too good, unfortunately. I specialize in magic. (Anos)
Haha! Figured as much. Well, even if youre a boy genius, with a small body like yours, theres only so much magic power you can cram into your muscles. (Ramon)
Ramon moved away to put so distance between us, and readied his demon sword in front of his eyes.
Alright. Ill go easy on you. First, Im gonna hit you from above with my sword, so try and block it. If you can do that, Ill give you a bit of approval. (Ramon)
Hmm. Fine by . Challenge all you want. (Anos)
Oh-ho. Where did you even learn to speak like a grown-up? Still, words alone wont make you a champion of justice, yknow? (Ramon)
Ramon slowly raised his demon sword.
Then he took one step in my direction.
Well, lets go!! Better defend well if you dont wanna get hurt!! (Ramon)
He broke into a run.
At that mont, I was wondering if I wasnt watching him in slow motion, as I could clearly see Ramons every move.
And I dont an that as a taphor. He was slow. Slow beyond asure.
Ramons attack was so slow that I even wondered when his sword would actually reach .
TAKE THAT!! (Ramon)
As he announced, he swung down his sword from above.
Hmm. A good way to defend against it would be (Anos)
I effortlessly intercepted his swing with the iron sword in my hand.
The mont it collided with his demon sword
GUHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (Ramon)
Ramon, who had attacked , was unable to withstand my magically enhanced defense, was blown far backwards, and plunged deep into the arena wall.
Like this? (Anos)
His magic power faded away.
He died instantly.
Right after that, the students in the arena started chattering.
Eh? Just now, the one who got blown away was Ramon-kun, right? (Student girl A)
Was it Anosh-kun who did that? (Student girl B)
N No All he did was intercept Ramon-kuns sword (Student girl A)
How co the attacker is the one who ended up bouncing away like a ball? (Student boy A)
I hear ya What kind of swordsmanship is that for a kid? If thats what happens when he defends, what would happen if he swung his sword?! (Student boy B)
Actually, hey Isnt Ramon-kun dead? I cant sense his magic power at all (Student girl A)
The mont the students expressed their thoughts, Ramon opened his eyes in a snap.
Using , I brought him back to life.
EEEEEHHHHH?! He ca back to life?! (Student girl A)
Hey, was that ? The spell Anos-sama used during the entrance exam? (Student boy A)
Was it Anosh who cast it just now? It was him, and not Eldd-sensei, right? But hes only six years old! (Student boy B)
He can use the sa spell as Anos-sama at the age of six? He really is a freaking genius?! (Student boy A)
I slowly stepped forward and walked in front of Ramon.
Did you think just because Im a child, I wouldnt be good at defending myself? (Anos)
Ramon stared at dumbfounded, and gulped.
Y You Just who are you? (Ramon)
I smiled and replied.
Anosh Polticoal. Just a boy genius who yearns to beco a champion of justice. (Anos)
