The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)

Ignoring the uproar Aivis spoke in a low voice

“Today I’ll be lecturing you on the secret magic of the Necron family. Fusion magic.”

Aivis draws the basic magic formation for fusion magic on the blackboard.

It’s a very large scale magic and seems to be a natural magic formation that requires moonlight to draw it. The magic gate and the characters are similar to those used in the mythological age.

The students looked eager to copy the magic formation but it was nothing special for me, however, at least it was a magic similar to something that would be studied in the age of myths.

In that sense, it was quite interesting for me.

If the usual classes were like this I wouldn’t be so sleepy all the time.

“Hey Arnos. Why aren’t you copying it into your notebook? Are you using a recording crystal?”

Sasha says from her seat next to me.

“I am recording it. Here.”

I tap my temple with my finger.

“……..That’s a lie……right? No way you can memorise a complicated magic formation like this just by looking at it.”

Sasha mutters half in surprise and half in doubt.

“What about you? I don’t see you taking any notes either.”

“It’s the Necron families secret magic and I’m a direct descendant. I learnt the basics of it long ago.”

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about that.

“If you’re a direct descendant, then are you close to Aivis?”

“No way. The old 7 demon emperors are an existence above the clouds. Even if I’m a direct descendant I’m the 16th generation. I’m the lowest of the low. The amount of times I’ve spoken to Aivis-sama is………once.”

The mazoku have long lives. Apart from Sasha are other direct descendants still alive?

“——-As I just explained. The advantage of fusion magic is the ability to fuse magics together. By combining different magics with different wavelengths it produces a strong magic reaction. It can raise the original magic power tenfold. That’s the beginners class for fusion magic Mixed Assimilation <Ge Gum>.”

While Aivis’ lecture continues Sasha talks in a low voice.

“Nee. Did you really learn it? Didn’t you just give a flippant answer?”

“You’re a deeply sceptical person aren’t you?”

“Because it took me a month to learn this technique.”

“It took you a month but I understood the calculations in about 1 second.”

Sasha glares at me angrily. She seems to be quite dissatisfied for some reason as her <Demon Eyes of Ruin> have formed.

“Do you want me to prove it?”

“How?”

Aivis’ explanation had ended.

“Does anyone have any questions?”

There’s a grateful atmosphere in the classroom but lots of fears as well. No one will raise their hands.

“Anyone?”

To break the tension I raise my hand.

“Umu, go ahead.”

Students start whispering as soon as I stand up.

“That fellow…….What’s he going to say this time?”

“I know. It’s unbelievable. Where’s his courage come from?”

“If you say something wrong you’ll be killed.”

Yare yare. The mazoku of this era sure are shy. It’s hard to think of them as my descendants.

“I have one about the magic formation for Mixed Assimilation <Ge Gum>. There’s a defect in the basic structure for fusion magic.”

Utter silence. Not a noise comes from the room.

Fumu. Apparently, I can freeze my whole class with a simple sentence.

“H….he…….he…he’s dead! It’s over! This is completely different from that time with Emilia sensei!!”

“A defect in the Necron families secret magic. In other words, he’s pointing out a mistake by one of the old 7 demon emperors. That goes beyond dangerous.”

“There’s no way there’s a defect in the structure developed by one of the old 7 demon emperors.”

Contrary to the noisy students Aivis is calm when he replies.

“What’s the defect?”

“This is the basic method to fuse magic. The magic reaction causes the power to increases tenfold, however, judging by the structure of the formation the fusion does not last long at all.”

The students had deployed magic barriers while I was talking. They seemed convinced Aivis was going to attack at any moments.

“That’s very impressive, to notice that detail while only seeing the formation once.”

The atmosphere in the class gave off the impression that the students were getting ready to dodge incoming magic.

“What the……”

“He’s right…..?”

“He’s only just seen it……”
