The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 9: The Academy Tour
Hard footsteps echoed in the hallway of the academy. The sleeved uniform has been given directly to Kaizo, and follows the twintails that sway from behind.
The uniform that Aidenwyth prepared was specially designed for his personal use. The basic color was the same as the other students, pure white, but the dress underneath was definitely not a skirt. His trouser cloth, combined with chastity, was well worn like a gentleman.
(Damn, the size is perfect! He knew that from the beginning.) Kaizo cursed Aidenwyth in his head.
"The instructor building and the student building are connected in the hallway of the second floor. The cafeteria is located on the first floor."
Guiding her through the school building was the girl from before, Eve Veilmist. While Kaizo was changing her uniform, Aidenwyth seemed to call out to her.
At first, she openly showed an unhappy face, but perhaps because of her serious personality, she did not leave him halfway and obediently continued to guide him.
The design of the school building is very complex and to create a comfortable space for spirits, it has adopted the latest standards of spirit engineering architectural style. After all, it was definitely a design that did not take the people who used it too seriously into consideration.
Staring at Eve's swaying twintail, Kaizo recalled the previous conversation. In the end, although he was not happy that everything was going the way the magician predicted, he had to do it.
Hearing the name mentioned, Kaizo had no other choice. Rei Assar, suddenly appeared from three years ago. The holder of the Strongest Sword Style, and Rei Assar's contracted spirit was a dark spirit in the form of a young girl.
While walking, Kaizo turned his gaze to his left hand which was covered with leather gloves.
(No, it can't be him. Because she.).
Kaizo shook his head. Trying to deny it rationally. (But is it possible?) Mixed thoughts were on his mind.
(Solar. I'll make sure of it with my own eyes. For now I will dance in the palm of your hand, Aidenwyth.)
"You," then Eve who was walking in front of him suddenly stopped. Facing him with his hands on his waist, he firmly pouted at Kaizo, "Are you listening to me as you speak? For your own sake I explain these things."
"Umm, wrong. I'm thinking something."
"Mm, think of something?" For some reason, Eve's face turned red, and she quickly walked up to her, "You-You, what kind of thing are you thinking when you look at my back!"
"Tu-Wait, Don't swing your sword here!"
The sword was swung at close range, and Kaizo quickly dodged it. If he was a little late, he would probably be lying on the ground.
(Could it be, this girl too?)
It seemed that it was a common problem that all the students of this academy did not have any immunity to men. Perhaps the reason he had walked so fast since before, was because he was aware of the fact that Kaizo was a man.
"Look, don't get me wrong! I haven't accepted you yet. I guided you because I have no choice but to obey the principal's orders!"
"Ah, I understand. But don't treat me like an enemy either. From today I am a student of this academy like you."
"I'll never accept you. The fact that there is a man like you who is an elementalist, there is no way I will accept it!" Back on her heels, Eve began to walk quickly, "All things considered, why the principal wanted a man transferred here."
"She doesn't like me very much."
(Well, how else. This is my destiny as the only man in the garden of these girls.)
It was as if a lion had been released on a herd of rabbits. Naturally, the princesses who were too innocent would be wary of a man her age who suddenly came.
The Sword Style Festival will be held two months later. He had to gain their trust gradually in this school life slowly.
(Hmm, yeah. Speaking of life.).
Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, and he called out to the girl in front of him, "Hey, Eve."
"What?" Eve turned around in a sullen mood. Kaizo thought she might be angry because she called him by his first name so casually, but it turned out that he didn't.
"From today onwards, where should I stay?"
There were no male dormitories in this academy, and there was no way he would be given a room in a female dormitory. Does that mean going to school from the academic city at the foot of the mountain? It would be better than sleeping in a dark forest.
"Don't worry about that, the academy has prepared a beautiful cottage at a great cost for you. A portion of the school's funding has been allocated specifically for construction costs."
"Your strangely thorny talk made me suspicious."
(Well whatever. This was certainly better than being homeless or living outside in the Spirit Forest.)
"That can be seen from this window, that's it."
Kaizo looked in the direction Eve pointed at and said, "Um, where is it?"
Looking around the spacious courtyard, it seemed like he could not find any lodging houses there.
"Look carefully, right there in the corner of the square." Eve pointed towards an object standing next to the wall of the building.
Incredible luxury building with a large roof. Wider than a regular house, there were many rooms inside. Beside him was an exclusive bathing area. Flowers had been piled up near the entrance. But that's not what Eve pointed to, but next to her.
"Aren't they cages!" Kaizo shouted loudly.
"Is your eye socket empty? Take a good look."
"What?"
(Um, did I see something wrong?)
"No, it's the best cage. After all, they calmed their horses in that place."
(Hmm?)
And then, Kaizo finally found her. Next to the cage, where the wooden planks had been put together and erected, there was actually a small hut standing.
Here and there, different board lengths have been nailed into one. Roof chipped. A sudden gust of strong wind would destroy such a hut quickly.
"Ah, maybe that one?"
"Yes." Yeah." Eve just nodded.
"Where is that beautiful cottage, it seems to have been built in three days!"
"Three hours. Don't underestimate my contracted spirit power."
"You made it?! I mean, wasn't it built at a high price?"
"The price is expensive indeed, I wasted my time because of you. Are you not satisfied?"
"I am full of dissatisfaction. It's almost like abuse against me."
"There's a decent bed, made of straw."
"I got the same treatment as a horse."
"Fufu, you have a strong sense of pride. Of course a horse is more worth taking care of than you." With a twintail on her nape sweeping her shoulders, Eve said clearly. For some reason, Kaizo wanted to cry.
"Toilets? Bathroom?"
"You can use the back of the cottage as a restroom. Unfortunately, you have to share the bathroom."
"Washing with horses?" Kaizo grumbling.
"Are you complaining?" Eve scowled at him, "Listen, even in the highly unlikely event that you tried to attack the academy's toilet, my contracted spirit would turn you into a stir-fry mushroom."
"That sounds delicious. So, you really like to cook?"
"Yes, it's a hobby. One day an ideal man would take my hand to get married, and to please him with my cooking, I usually practice for it."
"Really, um, if there's a chance, please let me try it too. At least, I have good taste."
"Yes. If there's a chance, I want to show you my pride cuisine, what? Who are you to think that I would do such a thing for you!?"
In an instant the sword was swung, and Kaizo dodged it by a thin margin.
"You! Forget about cooking, this is not the kind of hand to get married."
"Eh?!" Kaizo replied with half an eye closed. Perhaps out of self-awareness, Eve quickly shifted her gaze, "Other thing, as the leader of the knights, don't you mess up the sequence most often?"
"Hiddenly. That's because you said something weird!"
Kaizo shrugged his shoulders, then turned towards the corridor again, "Let's leave the dormitory topic for now. Where's my classroom?"
"Class Crow. Great problematic children's gathering place, the perfect class for you."
"An extraordinary troubled child?"
