The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life A Night In The City With Aria
Some streets of the city were still lively, even after the chaos of the gate opening. Lanterns illuminated the walkways, and the distant hum of conversation filled the air. Dante walked at a steady pace, his mind replaying the battle he had witnessed. The power of an S-rank elemental awakener was impressive, but rather than intimidation, he felt something else—anticipation. He knew he would surpass that one day.His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a familiar voice."Dante?"Turning, he saw Aria standing a few steps away, her blue eyes reflecting the city lights. Dressed casually in a light blue tunic and black leggings, she looked different from the composed warrior he had seen in the academy. Tonight, she was just a girl enjoying the city."Aria? What are you doing here?" he asked, genuinely surprised.She smirked. "I could ask you the same thing. But if you must know, I needed a break. The competition is almost here, and I was getting tired of all the training. So, I snuck o
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life A Founder
With only a day remaining until the competition, Instructor Bane decided it was time to impart some crucial knowledge about swordsmanship to Dante."There are three known ways to improve as a swordsman," Bane began, his voice steady and firm. "The first is to follow the path of established skills and practice them to perfection. The second is to acquire the knowledge of many sword skills and use that foundation to develop your own. The third is to carve your own path, forging techniques from your heart, influenced by existing skills but uniquely your own."Dante listened intently, absorbing every word."The first method is the most common," Bane continued. "It’s a safe route, one that guarantees results because success has already been proven. The second is far less traveled, as it is difficult and uncertain—you might spend your entire life without ever creating a true skill. But if one succeeds, they might develop a supreme skill or, at the very least, a powerful one."Bane’s express
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Finn's Dreams
The morning sun cast a golden glow over the academy grounds as students gathered excitedly for their departure. Today is the beginning of the long-awaited competition, and the air buzzed with energy and anticipation. Dante walked alongside Finn as they approached the enormous magical aircraft that would transport them to the venue.The aircraft was unlike anything Dante had ever seen before. It floated effortlessly in the air, its sleek metallic body engraved with ancient runes that shimmered with a faint blue light. Large, curved wings extended from its sides, pulsating with raw magical energy. The academy’s insignia gleamed proudly on its front, marking it as a vehicle of prestige and power. As students boarded, a low hum resonated through the air, a sign that the aircraft was awakening its magical core.Inside, the interior was just as impressive. Rows of floating seats adjusted to accommodate the passengers, ensuring both comfort and security. Transparent windows provided a breath
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Leon Ignis
"Are you ready to dazzle the world?" Aria came and stood beside Dante. Elijah saw this but ever since Dante beat him together with the senior, he made sure to stay clear from Dante and anything to do with him."I can feel a lot of powerful awakeners, I might not be able to dazzle the world with them around." Dante joked"I know you will," Aria said before walking ahead to meet up with her friends while they all followed their instructors to their lodging area.As the students from Mighty Ones Academy arrived at their designated lodge, a sense of anticipation filled the air. The grand competition, which would last for an entire week, was set to begin the next day, and students from different academies had already gathered in the vast city that hosted the event.Dante walked beside Finn, his eyes scanning the large number of students scattered throughout the lodging area. There were groups dressed in distinct academy uniforms, each representing their respective schools, and every one of
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Competition Begins
The grand stadium buzzed with anticipation as thousands of spectators filled the seats, their excitement rippling through the air. The competition was about to begin, and the entire world was watching. Large, floating screens hovered above the stadium, displaying live footage captured by specialized cameras stationed throughout the battlefield. These cameras would ensure that every move, every clash, and every moment of brilliance would be seen by millions.Standing in the center of the colossal arena was a man dressed in a sleek black and gold suit, his sharp features and confident posture making him impossible to ignore. His long, slicked-back crimson hair made him stand out, but what truly captured his attention was his voice—a smooth, commanding tone that carried across the stadium with ease."Ladies and gentlemen, students, warriors, and esteemed guests! Welcome to the Grand Academy Tournament!" The man’s voice echoed through the stadium, enhanced by magical amplification. "I am
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Victor's Strategy.
As the competitors stepped into the shimmering portals, they felt the sensation of being pulled through space itself. Within seconds, they reappeared in various locations, each academy transported to their designated home base. These locations were chosen based on the academy’s general combat specialization and were meant to test their adaptability and strategy.For the Mighty Ones Academy, their designated base was a dense forest shrouded in thick mist. Towering trees blocked much of the sunlight, and the distant growls of unseen beasts set a foreboding tone. The thick vegetation provided both cover and danger, as predators lurked within the foliage.Victor Rein, the senior leading the Mighty Ones Academy team, wasted no time asserting his authority. "Listen up! To maximize our points, we will split into three-man teams. This way, we can cover more ground, hunt more monsters, and gather more points efficiently."Dante frowned slightly. Something about this plan felt wrong. He could f
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Feeling Like A Fool
The audience had been watching everything unfold in the competition, and certain academies stood out, efficiently eliminating monsters and proving themselves worthy. Then, there was an academy whose students were so weak that the audience questioned why they were even there.Mighty Ones Academy was once the strongest school, producing some of the nation’s elite hunters. However, ever since Golden Lion Academy came under the management of Mr. Tilo, they had successfully poached many talented students from Mighty Ones, along with several of their best teachers. The Golden Lion Academy had been secretly working against Mighty Ones Academy, causing the once-great institution to deteriorate.Right now, the audience was watching as Golden Lion students mercilessly beat up the Mighty Ones students, ensuring they didn’t deal enough damage to eliminate them outright. Instead, they toyed with them, showcasing the difference in strength between Golden Lion and Mighty Ones.“You shouldn’t call yo
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Dante Stepping Up
The competition raged on, and while Dante had already proven himself against the Golden Lion Academy’s elite, the attention of the audience had now shifted elsewhere. Across the battlefield, prodigies from different academies were showcasing their overwhelming strength, none more so than Leon Ignis—the undisputed king of battle.Leon Ignis stood amidst a field of corpses, his golden-red hair flowing like a burning flame. Unlike other competitors who fought cautiously, Leon was relentless, merciless, and devastatingly efficient. The moment he appeared on the battlefield, monsters fell like leaves in a storm. He wielded the power of four elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—making him one of the most feared prodigies in the entire nation.The audience watched in awe as he advanced, slaughtering everything in his path. A wave of monstrous beasts—C-rank and B-rank threats—charged toward him, their roars deafening. Leon smirked, his eyes burning with intensity.With a flick of his wrist, h

The Partnership
Just as Dante had hoped, he fully recovered within a week. Without wasting time, he went to find Lucian.The moment Lucian laid eyes on Dante’s mana pool, he muttered in astonishment, “Wow.”It was unlike anything he had ever seen—an unfathomable depth of power that defied all logic.“This is truly remarkable… What exactly is your awakened ability?” Lucian asked, his curiosity piqued.In response, Dante raised his hand, and the four elements—fire, water, earth, and air—manifested in his palm, swirling together in a mesmerizing dance.Lucian let out a scoff, shaking his head in disbelief. “And to think you’ll still advance beyond this… gaining access to even greater abilities.” He clenched his fists slightly, feeling his title as humanity’s strongest become a joke in comparison.Dante smiled. “According to my mother, I am the original… and Leon will never compare to me. Since even he has now gained access to other elements, it’s only a matter of time before I do as well.” He could alre
Dante's Origin
Mrs. Joan told Lucian everything about Dante's birth and the reason she had been giving him the medicine. She even revealed Mr. Tilo's involvement and how Leon's powers came from the experiment. Lucian was stunned by the revelations, but one question lingered in his mind. If the medicine had been blocking Dante's mana and abilities all this time, then what was the source of his recent power?Even Mrs. Joan had no answer to that."You see, if Dante stops taking the medicine and taps into his true potential, I'm afraid even I would lose my title as humanity’s strongest."Lucian believes that Dante will surpass him. He was already convinced Dante was an S-rank, but just how powerful could he become once his true abilities awakened? "So, it's time to stop the medicine and let the dragon fly.""Yes. But promise me you’ll tell him everything when the time is right. He doesn’t need to avenge his parents. Knowing about them is already enough." Mrs. Joan’s voice trembled as she spoke. Sh
Dante Vs The Band Of Thieves
Dante stepped outside to join his friends. Along with Adam and Gavin, he ventured into the forest to hunt for an animal they could use for the party.He could have done it in an instant, but he didn’t want to take the fun away from his friends, so they did it the old-fashioned way."So, have you gotten a girlfriend?" Adam asked."Not really," Dante replied, though he smiled as he thought of Aria."What about Vida? Has anything changed between you two?" Gavin asked."What do you mean by that?" Dante looked confused, not understanding what his friends were implying.Adam and Gavin exchanged glances, feeling pity for Vida. Even now, Dante remained oblivious to her feelings.As their hunt continued, Dante suddenly heard footsteps. His acute hearing as a swordsman allowed him to detect people marching toward the village, even from within the forest."We have to head back," Dante said, and his friends immediately followed him.Though he was confident that Lucian could handle any trouble, th
Going Back Home
Just as Lucian had said, Dante found himself escorting the headmaster back to his small village.Vida and Aria had returned to Aqua Veil Academy with Seraphina, though not before happily exchanging contact information with Dante."It's hard to believe that such a small village has produced such prodigies," Lucian mused, referring to both Dante and Vida.Dante, however, had something else on his mind. "Headmaster, what exactly do you want to ask my mother?" It was a question that had been nagging at him for a long time."Nothing that should concern you too much," Lucian replied with a faint smile.Dante's gaze darkened slightly. "I respect you, sir, but believe me when I say I will throw that respect away if you do anything to harm my mother. I know you wouldn't stoop so low, but I feel the need to make it clear."Lucian met Dante’s gaze, and for a few moments, they simply stared at each other. As the headmaster held Dante’s eyes, he felt something ancient stir within the boy—a presenc
Lucian's Demand
The grand hall was adorned with banners and shimmering chandeliers, casting a golden glow over the gathered students, professors, and distinguished guests. The air buzzed with excitement as the reward ceremony was about to begin, marking the end of the competition. Students stood in neat rows, dressed in their academy uniforms, their eyes fixed on the stage where the headmasters of each academy stood.Seraphina stepped forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the gathered students. She had been selected to present the awards."Today, we recognize the achievements of the students," she announced. "Those who have demonstrated outstanding skill, courage, and resilience."Murmurs filled the hall as the first name was called."Dante."A hushed silence fell over the crowd before applause erupted. Dante, his midnight-black hair catching the light, strode forward with his usual composed expression. Though he was never expected to be the winner of this competition, his prowess was undeniable. He
Dante's Goal
When Dante woke up, he saw a man sitting beside him. He had never seen the man before, but he could sense an incredible power emanating from him. Never had he felt so much power concentrated in a single individual, and the fact that the man could suppress such tremendous mana was remarkable."You're awake," the man said."Yes. Sorry, but who are you?" Dante asked."I am Lucian, your headmaster," the man introduced himself.Dante widened his eyes. Of course, he had heard about their headmaster—Lucian the Untouchable, the man considered humanity’s strongest."Forgive my ignorance.""You don't need to apologize," Lucian chuckled. "I won’t take much of your time. I just have a question about the medication you’ve been taking."While Dante was unconscious, Lucian had a doctor examine him and discovered that Dante had been using some kind of suppressant."I was very weak as a child, so my mother, a B-rank healer, developed a drug to help me recover. Even after awakening, I still need the dr
Leon's Determination
Lucian instantly left his seat and appeared in front of Leon, intercepting Dante’s attack with effortless precision. With nothing more than a raised finger, he halted the strike, shattering Dante’s sword upon impact. The sheer force of the clash sent a shockwave rippling through the arena, obliterating the forcefield that had contained the battle.Leon’s legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground, landing on his backside. His breath came in short gasps, his body trembling as realization sank in. He had been mere moments from death. If Lucian hadn’t stepped in, his fate would have been sealed.Lucian turned to him, his golden eyes impassive. “Are you clear on who the winner is?”Leon swallowed hard and nodded. He didn’t need a soothsayer to confirm what was painfully obvious—Dante had utterly defeated him.The crowd erupted in a mix of gasps and excited murmurs.“Can you believe that? Such a powerful attack was stopped by a single finger!” Zane, one of the commentators, exclaimed i
To Sever A Destiny
Dante already knew something was wrong and that he was at a disadvantage, but he had managed to calm his nerves. He had realized that the more disadvantaged he was, the more he could tap into his true potential. Right now, he didn’t have the energy to deliver Void Star; even Void Rend and Void Crescent would be difficult to execute. His bones were broken, and his body was filled with injuries, but his mind had never been clearer.“You don’t seem worried?” Celeste asked Aria.Since everyone was watching, Vida and Aria didn’t sit in the VIP section with the headmasters; instead, they sat among the other students.“Not at all.” Even with Dante’s defeat seemingly inevitable, Aria and Vida didn’t appear concerned.“Are you that confident in him?” William Archibald asked. He still didn’t like Dante, but he was now aware that he wouldn’t last against him in battle.“You don’t know Dante,” Vida stated, drawing everyone’s attention. She was so beautiful and graceful that her presence demanded
A Master Of One
Just before the competition started, Mr. Tilo met with the officials and struck a deal. He handed them a special device identical to the ones the students had been using to ensure their safety in the competition. However, unlike the normal safety devices, this one was specially designed to drain Dante’s mana and weaken him.Never one to take chances, Mr. Tilo had ordered his scientists to create this device specifically for Dante. Since it was indistinguishable from the regular ones and designed to deplete mana so subtly that even the user wouldn’t notice, it was impossible for Dante to realize what was happening.“Something is amiss,” Seraphina muttered, her sharp gaze locked on Dante as she noticed him growing weaker.“His mana seems to be depleting faster than normal,” Lucian observed with a frown.“It must be Mr. Tilo’s doing,” Seraphina growled, her eyes narrowing into a deadly glare directed at the oblivious man. Mr. Tilo, unaware of the murderous looks being sent his way, simpl
