"Eh? Miki-san? In our class?" Wiji was a little surprised when Rei suddenly asked if Miki from the same class was in the top ten. 'I've seen Miki Kirishima many times since I started being wary of him, but I can only feel human vibes from him. Moreover, even if I concentrate my mind and search for power, I can't see the basis of the magic power. strength.' Having not been able to measure the strength of his opponent until now, Rei thought that Miki might have the same strength as a god or demon king class since it was the highest demon lord. "Yes, Miki indeed used a slightly explosive magic technique before, but it wasn't enough to enter the top ten." "Is it true?" "In other words, no matter how strong your magical power is, neither Rei nor Miki-san will be in the top ten." "Hmm? Why?" "Because top ten means ten people with strong magical power among the Japanese warriors." 'What's this? That's a word I don't know. I'll look for it later.' Rei asked so many more questions that he didn't realize he didn't know the word, Soldier. "Then one more question. Who is the strongest of the top ten, or in other words, the top one?" "Yeah, it's a bit different too. Magic power isn't the same as attack power, so I can't say that Top One is the strongest. Top One isn't an attacker type." "Oh, I see" "Well, I think the strongest opinion in the top ten is the magic defense army general Goto Hajime." 'Goto Hajime, is that the person I met the other day?' "Also, there are strong people in the private sector, and when it comes to who is the strongest in Japan, everyone's opinion is divided." While Rei and Wiji were talking, the front door of the class opened. "Okay, everyone sit down!" Saying that Sakura-sensei entered the classroom with a young man carrying a black sword at his waist. "It's been five days since the entrance ceremony, but we still have a transfer student. Now, introduce yourself." "My name is Akira Akeno. Nice to meet you all." One student that Sakura-sensei asked to introduce himself was a tall, long-haired, and handsome young man. The girls in the class were noisy, and they were enthralled by his appearance. Just then, next to Sakura-sensei, Akira suddenly released purple magic from all over his body. Then, a wave of Akira's magical power flew around the classroom like a hurricane. That magical power was as strong as Sakura-sensei's full magical power. 'This magical power!!!' Rei had no interest in the transfer student and looked out the window, but he remembered this surge of magical power and stared at the transfer student's face. "Hey! Don't release your magic in a place like this!" "Fufufu. This is my self-introduction. Now you should know my abilities." "Who told you to go that far? Stop releasing magic so quickly!" Akira was scolded by Sakura-sensei and stopped emitting magic power. 'Another student with the same level of magical power as me... what's going on in this class?' Sakura-sensei was confused by the unusual situation. "Well, that's fine. Akira, please use the empty seat at the back." Following Sakura-sensei's words, Akira moved to the back seat of the class and sat down. The female students watched the situation uneasily. "Then the first hour is a practice in the battlefield simulation, so let's all gather on the school grounds." Saying that Sakura-sensei finished her morning homeroom and left the classroom. The first-year students also prepared for combat training and started leaving the classroom. “Rei, let's go too.” "Sorry. I have something to do, so go ahead." "Okay, I'll go first then." Wiji carried Tsukiyozakura on his waist and left the classroom before the others. After that, Rei walked towards Akira who was sitting in the back seat of the class. When Rei came to Akira's seat and stopped, Akira also stood up from his seat and spoke in a low voice."It's not a good idea to have each other's identities known. Let's talk about the complicated story after everyone is gone." "... Okay" "Then, until then, let's talk about small things so as not to get suspicious." Akira looked at Reiya and started to speak. "You look very different from the last time I saw you." "You haven't changed at all. It looks like you're just wearing the same uniform as the one we met before." "I see, fufufu" "That's right, fufufu." They both laughed as they spoke, but their eyes were not smiling. It seemed like sparks scattered across the intersecting lines of sight. After a while, all the other students left the classroom. "Enough, Lucifer. What are you doing here?" The magic that Akira released earlier was undoubtedly the magic of the Great Demon Lord Lucifer. The Great Demon King Lucifer is said to be the most powerful demon in the demon world. 3,000 years ago, there was a great decisive battle between the Heavenly Army and the Makai Army, and at that time, Archangel Samuel and Great Demon King Lucifer dueled one on one and tied. Rei vividly remembered the magical power of the Great Demon King Lucifer he had felt back then. "Cook-kook, I heard that Samuel-sama, the strongest angel of the Heavenly Army, went to a human school and fought demons. I came to laugh at that ridiculous figure." Akira spoke to provoke Rei. "It seems even more ridiculous that the Demon King of the Demon World pretends to be a human disciple and is here to laugh at me." Rei said that he would not lose even zero nights. 'Kuk-ku-ku-ku, let's tease Samuel some more.' Akira ignored Rei's provocation and continued the conversation. "I also know why you became a student at the human school. It was to be around humans with magical talents so they could grow and fight demons on an equal footing." "What! Why do you know so much!?" "Wow, I threw the scythe, but did it hit?" "!!!" Rei thought there was no need to talk to Akira anymore. "Enough! Let's finish this three thousand years ago!" "Oh, are you sure? If we fight with all our might, the entire area around here will be destroyed. And just like 3,000 years ago, we both regret it." The battle between Archangel Samuel and Great Demon King Lucifer 3,000 years ago ended in a draw, but both of them had deep wounds that couldn't be healed even with full recovery magic. It took more than ten years for the wound to fully heal. "There is something good here. This is a simulated battlefield made by humans. With that, there will be no damage to the surrounding area and no physical damage. We can continue 3,000 years ago without worrying!"~~~~~~~The first hour of training on the simulated battlefield is about to begin. The first-year students had already gathered near the simulated battlefield on the school grounds. Rei and Akira joined there. "You've all gathered? Then who's going to do the sparring?" Wiji spoke to Sakura-sensei, who was looking at the list and trying to decide which students to compete with. "Sakura-sensei! There are two people full of motivation!" When Wiji asked Sakura-sensei to see the mock battlefield, Rei and Akira had already entered the magic circle and created ghosts. "Rei and Akira?" There were five simulated battlefields lined up on the school grounds, so five teams could be fighting at the same time, but Sakura-sensei thought that the battle between Rei and Akira was worth watching. "So you are going to fight with this body created with magical power? I see, the magic you fire with this body only works at this stage. Doesn't it work outside?" Akira looked at the letters in the mag
"What did you say!" "No matter how much a human fights, if you put this much power into it, people will doubt you!" Rei and Akira argue as they get into a fight that destroys the simulation battlefield. In the current human world, magic research was progressing, but fighting spirit research was barely progressing. That's why few people can use fighting spirit. However, even people who couldn't use a fighting spirit felt the fear and pressure from a strong fighting spirit, so just like Akira said, there was a high chance they would become suspicious. "I'm calm enough not to suspect anything. You're going too far, aren't you?" "You went too far first. I just had no choice but to match you." While the two were arguing, classmates gathered around Rei and Akira. "Wonderful! You guys!" "How did you do the final technique?" "Akira-kun, you are amazing!" The gathered students applauded the fight between the two. The students didn't seem to have any doubts about the current fight.
~~~~~~~The scene changes to Central Street in the downtown East District where the demon appears. The streets used to be bustling with shoppers, but now the roads were blocked and many demons and soldiers from the Magic Defense Army were fighting. "Hahaha, destroy all humans and buildings!" "Guooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The devils that appeared on this occasion were one Orias and twenty-eight Gison. Orias is one of Solomon's seventy-two pillar demons, and a high-ranking demon called the Marquis of Hell. Orias rides a white horse with the head of a lion and the body of a human. Gison is a demon under Orias and is known to the human world as a demon who spreads disease-causing germs, with bat wings and a bird's beak and claws on human bodies. "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" "There are too many of these people!" "Is there a delay to escape?" Twenty-one soldiers from the Magic Defense Army, who were in the military waiting room in the eastern district, rushed to this place and fought
~~~~~~~Miki knows that Rei has a hidden power like himself, but is curious how strong his full power is. 'Even so, there are a lot of demons. I wonder how he will fight.' The remaining demons are twenty-three Gison and one Orias. The Magic Defense Squad had managed to defeat five Gisons so far. 'If it was me, after defeating a low-level demon with superlative ranged magic, I would probably defeat a horse-riding demon with a compression magic bullet.' On the other hand, Rei who was being watched by Miki didn't notice her existence. 'no one around.' Rei looked around and visually checked if there were any humans around. Then focus your mind and explore the magical reactions around you. 'No magical reactions from anyone other than these people and the humans sleeping there.' When using flight magic before, Rei didn't notice that Raisa Kisaragi was nearby, so this time Rei carefully checked his surroundings. "What's wrong, human?" "..." "Do it quietly this time. Do it!" Or
"Hmm, isn't too many human resources going to the private sector? A strong magician should join the army or the police." Government officials don't seem happy with the current situation. A young government official answered. "Recently, it seems that private magicians receive high compensation for protecting VIPs from large companies, and it seems that it is difficult for the military and police to get superior human resources." In Japan, apart from Detective Blackblade, some great magicians are not members of the military or police. Some of them become employees of private security companies and work as bodyguards to protect themselves from demons that can appear from anywhere at any time. "It's all about the money in the end. It's sad." "In return, the man in this video has to fight to protect people." "Yeah. After defeating that demon, this guy seems to have disappeared." A high-ranking government official instructed everyone present. "Okay! Quickly analyze this video! Ide
~~~~~~~A car carrying Rei and the others arrived at the Magic Research Institute. The area around the Witchcraft Research Institute was a forest, and there were no other buildings nearby. Magical chemistry research might involve slightly dangerous experiments, so that counts. Sakura-sensei parked the car in an empty spot in the parking lot and everyone got out of the car. '...Hmm? After getting out of the car, things got a little easier.' Rei's face was still pale and his legs were almost unsteady from car sickness, but still tried his best to pretend to be calm. "Rei-kun, are you okay?" "Hah, no problem. We'll be entering the laboratory soon." Sakura-sensei and Akira were already walking toward the entrance of the research institute, so Rei headed for the entrance just in time. After that, Miki and Akiho started walking. 'Is this a human research institute?' When Rei entered the laboratory, there were two Magic Defense Force soldiers near the entrance and a woman at the
~~~~~~~Demon King Surt emitted a strong magical power from his entire body. Then, his brown skin turned black, and the clothes he wore turned into flames, and turned increasingly gigantic, reaching a height of nearly 2.5 meters. "First we will defeat you, then we will destroy the laboratory." Demon Lord Surt, clad in a formidable purple magical power worthy of being called a demon king and slashed at Rei with his flaming magic sword Laevatin. Rei managed to block the powerful attack with Rack Breaker. "Well, there's no way... that..." Sakura-sensei took a few steps back after seeing the magical power of Demon Lord Surt, far surpassing any high-level demons had ever felt before, and then crouched down on the spot. “Different from the demons I have seen so far…” Miki muttered as she saw Demon King Surt's true magic power. Miki feels that Demon King Surt is not an opponent he can fight while hiding his strength. "Miki-chan. It's the Demon King." "Huh? Demon Lord?!" Akiho tells
'It halves the ability of the person who hits it, and is the most troublesome attack against Lucifer.' When seeing the Demon Lord Surt weakened by the cursed magic sword, Rei recalled the old battle and broke out in a cold sweat. "Gugugu, is it because of this crime that I can't use my powers? Don't be stupid! I still have enough power to wipe you all out!" Demon King Surt emitted a strong purple magic power from all over his body. Even though his ability value was halved, Demon Lord Surt was still much stronger than Rei and the others, suppressing their strength. Demon King Surt transforms a large amount of magical power into super high-temperature flames. 'That's bad, if you take a direct hit, even the magic barrier won't be able to block it.' Akira quickly distanced himself from Demon King Surt. "Ice Witch! First of all, you!" Demon Lord Surt aims at Miki, who can use ice magic, which is her weak point. "Burning Blast!!" Demon King Surt unleashed a ferocious power of supe
