Chapter 35 – Human Who Wants to Be Sold (1)
=================
Yushin was able to participate in the students’ classes thanks to Ardena’s commitment to the academy.
With the exception of one part-time worker, the other teachers’ classes were of such a high standard that it was easy to hear. As expected, it was to the point that it was said that it was the best academy in the elven country.
“We elves came to the Liberia Peninsula to escape human persecution. Scholars call this event the Great Migration of Zaragoza, as tens of thousands of elves who fled persecution from the continent crossed the Aquitaine Mountains and gathered in Zaragoza. Our ancestors, who migrated to the peninsula, fought fierce wars with the demon king’s army, which was a native power, for decades, and finally occupied the Liberia peninsula and established an elven nation.”
An elderly elf man with wrinkles on his face that made me wonder how old he was, said with his dim eyes widening.
It was a time of spiritual education and history education to inspire patriotism and pride. As Yushin, he was very interested in the history and situation of the Elf country, so he listened intently to the lecture.
However, other students fell asleep on their desks or even dozed off, as if they had already heard it several times. Sleeping gas hit the classroom. It was so devastated that no students were taking classes properly.
“Ku, kuuu…”
Alone let out a grotesque breathing sound and nodded his head.
Her wandering head landed on Yushin’s shoulder.
The teacher’s shoulder seemed to boast the perfect comfort to lay her head on, so she fell asleep.
“Sir, our ancestors at the time were slaves of humans. They were handcuffed and shackled. But how did tens of thousands of people come safely to the Liberia Peninsula to escape human persecution and abuse? Common sense doesn’t understand that part.”
Among the students drowning in sleeping gas, Leticia, the only survivor, raised her hand and asked.
To that, the old teacher replied.
It was no exaggeration to say that history class was the domain of the teacher in charge and Leticia alone.
There were no other students interfering with the area. Because everyone was in a state of dreamland. It was natural for him to fall asleep from exhaustion as he had swung his sword diligently for half a day with the determination to pass the graduation exam without fail. Knowing that, Yushin didn’t wake Alone, who was leaning on her shoulder and drooling over her drool.
“Ooh, ooh…”
He stabbed Alone on the cheek.
Her cheeks were as soft as silk.
It was unbelievably white jade-like skin that he had trained while swinging his sword under the scorching sun.
They are also elves. Elves, called the race of beauty, have been proud of their beautiful appearance since they were born. In particular, the elven women were so beautiful that it was difficult to find ugly women. Of course, there might be standards for determining beauty among them, but in Yushin’s eyes, all elven women were only outstanding beauties and beautiful girls.
“Ehehe, tickling…”
He kept stabbing his cheek. Then Alone reflexively raised her hand and scratched her cheek.
It seems that he fell asleep soundly.
Well, it must have been very difficult to go through the forced march. The saliva dripping from the corners of my mouth was annoying, but I decided to hold it in.
“We and humans call the great empresses who rule over the vast realm called the Devil Realm as Demon Kings. A total of six demon kings took over half of the continent’s territories.”
At some point, Kang approached the demon world and the existence called the Demon King.
Leticia’s eyes lit up.
The terrifying notoriety of the six demon lords, the great empresses who rule the demon realm, was enough to stimulate curiosity.
The Alliance of Demon Kings, also known as the Demon King Army.
The demon king’s army possessed a larger territory than the countries ruled by mankind, absorbing the southern continent and northern grasslands, as well as the Goto, which was the territory of the Holy Empire in the past. Because I knew their fear well and experienced it myself, I felt uncomfortable with the name of the Demon King.
“Then… Is it impossible to defeat the demon king army?”
Leticia asked.
The demon king’s army occupying the southern region of the Liberia Peninsula was aiming for the Elf country.
It was natural for her to feel anxious.
Those who are dozing without any tension at this time are udon. The demon lord’s army is showing strong momentum to the point of targeting Maherit, the capital of the elven country. If it had not been for the sacrifice and dedication of the 12 warrior commanders, knights, and rangers, the Elf nation might have perished long ago.
“Don’t worry, Miss Santander. The Demon King is by no means invincible. They, too, are mortals who bleed and injure themselves. It was because one of the six Demon Lords was killed in the war between the Human Alliance and the Demon King Army, which took place when the Holy Empire became the leader.”
One of the six demon lords is dead.
The history teacher argued that it was a very encouraging turning point.
A big change has come to the front that has been pushed unilaterally so far. If the elves repel the advance of the demon lord’s army in the Liberia peninsula and the humans repeat their westward advance, they expressed their expectation that they would be able to defeat the demon lord’s army.
“Surely the one who died at that time was Agares, the demon king of tyranny, right?”
Yushin asked.
At that, the history teacher nodded.
“Human, you know well.”
“Because I served on that front.”
“The kingdom of Valois and the territory of the demon king are quite far apart…”
“I fought against the Demon King’s Army as a reinforcement unit dispatched at the request of the Holy Empire. I still think Because I fought against countless demons and monsters.”
Not only the history teacher but also Leticia, who was listening to the story, showed interest in Yushin’s words.
The Demon World Frontline known to be the fiercest.
The Demon Front, where local battles between the Holy Empire and the Demon Kings, the suzerain of human nations, took place every day, boasted such a vicious notoriety that thousands of lives were said to be torn apart.
Yushin opened his mouth.
He began to tell his experiences as a person who had been to the front.

For academy students, history lectures were a good time to sleep.
The lecture is over.
That meant that I would soon have to start the hellish training all over again.
The students followed the instructor with heavy steps, grumbling like trainees who had completed their mental training. My body was heavy and my muscles were screaming, but I had no choice but to move because if I failed the graduation exam, I would be punished by my parents.
“But what have you been talking about for so long? It’s the first time that Kkondae teacher has shown such an interesting side.”
“What is the habit of talking to an old teacher? Do you want to die right now?”
“I learned it from Master.”
“The elder is talking to you, don’t answer me.”
“Me, the age difference isn’t too long!”
She was provided with private training grounds by the academy.
It was thanks to Riana, her swordsmanship instructor, who personally helped Alone.
If Yushin had asked her, she would have grabbed all kinds of pods and tried to pay for the humiliation she had suffered so far, but since she was the only student in her class, Alone’s request, Liana was her swordsmanship instructor. Allowed access to the training ground.
She said, “She seemed to be watching her sister a lot.”
“My country will too. I heard that Ardena has served as the warrior chief for 300 years? On the other hand, Riana is a rookie who has just become a warrior commander. How the hell is the jockey difference between the two?”
I don’t know the details, but she decided to think of it as a relationship between a shooter and an assistant shooter.
Thanks to her she got a personal training ground.
It was nice not to have to mix with her academy students who were arguing over the hours of use of her training ground.
Leticia also decided to come soon. Yushin intended to teach Alone and Leticia at the same time. As it was showing more and more results, it seemed that from now on, instead of intense sparring, I would only have to concentrate on maintaining the Mana Blade.
“Hello teacher.”
Leticia has arrived.
After changing into her training clothes, she approached Yushin while greeting him.
She greeted Alone with her glance.
It seems that they have a lot of hatred for each other, but it seems that it is difficult to say hello to each other. She maintained a disingenuous relationship by greeting in a snarky tone.
“You have to know how to handle the mana blade like a limb in order to be called a knight. You should be able to maintain the Mana Blade at any time.”
Yushin drew her sword.
As she lowered her sword from her waist, she deployed a mana blade over her blade.
A bright blue glow showed off its splendid appearance. Alone and Leticia were in awe of the clearly formed sword skill. The level of swordsmanship was perfect to the point where you could tell the sharpness and sharpness even with the naked eye.
“Isn’t it cool? Take a good look. You need to know how to use sword skills so that you can brag about wielding a sword anywhere. If you don’t know how to handle sword skills, you will be ignored wherever you go.”
To those words, Alone and Leticia answered.
“I don’t learn to show off.”
“I heard that swordsmanship is a mirror that shows a swordsman’s heart. However, compared to the clear swordsman, the teacher has a very impure heart.”
With a little joke.
Yushin lost her words at the outspoken talk of her two disciples.
However, Alone and Leticia saw Yushin’s sword technique, and she must have been quite stimulated. They each drew their swords and began to form mana blades.
Leticia formed her sword skill without difficulty. Even if she wasn’t as good as Yushin, her sword skills were so pure that she was said to belong to the top ranks among the academy’s students. And Alone, who only formed a mana blade when swinging, can now form freely according to his will.
‘I’m sure the guy who controls the southern part of the Liberia Peninsula in Granada is the Devil of Heat. Demon King of the Heat Wave. Since he has the status of a demon lord, he must not be an easy opponent.’
While the two students were exercising their sword skills, Yushin recalled the conversations she had with the history teacher and thought about the enemy threatening the elves.
Demon King of the Heat Wave.
The great demon who controls fire and scorching.
He was also an outcast who lost the Liberia Peninsula to the elves and was driven to the southern continent along with his entourage.
The Demon King of Heat started a war to regain the land that had been taken away by the Elves. The demon king, who had been driven to the southern continent, landed on the peninsula again with tens of thousands of his men, and was preparing for an all-out war with the elves based on the ports.
“Master.”
“Yes. Why?”
“Isn’t there some commotion outside?”
Allone said.
Leticia must have heard the commotion outside as well, putting her sword down for a moment.
Could it be because she was deep in thought?
She couldn’t hear the sounds she should have heard.
To check the source of the commotion, Yushin headed outside the training ground. When he came out of the training ground, Yushin could see the students arguing with each other. The atmosphere was quite bloody as if it was heated right up to the fist fight.
“Go away! This is my training ground!”
“Who is to say! If you back down right now, I won’t tell my father!”
The number of students is about five.
Apparently, he missed the reservation for the training ground at the academy because he was late.
Perhaps they thought that the training ground Alone and Leticia were using was empty, and they were arguing over the right to use it in front of the training ground. But before long, he met eyes with Yushin, who poked his head out, and he froze.
‘Are they the ones who bullied Alone? Maybe that’s why it’s oddly familiar.’
There is a record of beating an attendant in front of bad boys.
The incident in which Yushin hung 17 high elf attendants from trees was so famous that it is still feared among students.
“Human?”
“Black-haired human. Ah, this human is…”
Trident instructors, who were watching the unsightly behavior of the students, reacted.
I looked at Yushin.
They were muttering among themselves, as if they were interested in the dark-haired human.
