Chapter 102
Everything went silent
<hr>
Even though it was the middle of a battle the air around us was calm and quiet
Avos reaches up to histhe undeniable face of Ray
“How did you know?” (Ray)
The usual voice of Ray co his voice
“Ray Grandori is a reincarnated personThe chances of that being true were very high due to the fact you didn’t inherit the Iesta families secret techniques which was probably caused by the use of <Silica>Also, your sense of values are very different for this era and soestures that were familiar like you knew h I was convinced he was a reincarnated person I simply assumed he had no memories
“To hide the fact you were Kanon you played the part of a reincarnated person ould know ht against in the pastYou can probably also use ic quite well but if you did that your mazoku body would exhibit holy pohich was another convenient reason to pretend to be shi+n” (Arnos)
shi+n ith icHiding hisit ould also make his holy power undetectable
Also, due to his skill in root in from my demon eyes
“Shortly after we caave Misa that shellfish necklaceRele shell one? Thing is, they are one shell split into two necklaces norle unbroken oneYou shouldn’t have known that” (Arnos)
At that point, it wasn’t hard to assume that Ray had at least some memories from his past life
“The clasp on the necklace as wellIts a design not found in Deiruheido yet you easily kne to undo itIt was a bit odd since shi+n couldn’t care less about accessoriesIf it was a Deiruheido item he may have remembered but he wouldn’t have considered an Azeshi+on ite” (Arnos)
I wrote it off at first because I didn’t know everything about shi+n so there was a small chance he could have known but it still surprised me
“I asked you after that exa since you had mastered the unique sword” (Arnos)
But Ray said he hadn’t
“shi+n’s thoughts should have rein they would have transferred to you but you said they didn’tIf you didn’t receive any memories how did you know about the necklace?” (Arnos)
The mazoku haven’t had much interaction with the hu to Azeshi+on to find a cure for his mother where he may have encountered the necklaceAlso, I explained about it in class after Ray had given it to Misa plus he overslept and did turn up to that class anyway
“In other words, you weren’t shi+n and you were obviously lying about not having any memories” (Arnos)
Ray once said to Misa that he was a liarI’ he meant this
“But if you weren’t shi+n then ere you? There was no one else on o who could use both holy swords and unique swordsHowever, what if the hero Kanon had reincarnated as a mazoku? I had no doubt that he could use both” (Arnos)
<hr>
That hen I hypothesised that Ray was Kanon
“What I didn’t understand though was if you were the Hero Kanon then why not tell me? Noe have peace there was no reason to hide it from me” (Arnos)
I only realised the reason back on Eiyan hill
“You realised that if you told in” (Arnos)
No s can’t be hidden and his
“It wouldn’t matter what your excuse was I’d still wonder where the other six went and it wouldn’t take long to link it to the seven elder demon emperorsOut of the seven only Melheys wasn’t taken over” (Arnos)
It wouldn’t be enough for me to think they’d simply been captured
“Six of the de only oneThe sains the hero Kanon hadThe nuood to be a coincidence” (Arnos)
Ray was silently listening not denying a word
“Therefore you couldn’t confess to being Kanon because I’d realise you were Avos” (Arnos)
Of course, there had been some unexpected situationsHis mother’s illness and the whole sword tournaot some doubts about the sword tournament but this isn’t the time nor the place to ask about that
“I think I’ve got the general outline Kanon but what happened 2000 years ago?” (Arnos)
I ask hiht and Ray smiles with a far more mature look than he’s ever had before
“It’s exactly as Eleonor told you ArnosJerga-sensei and the Gairadeite deation force established the hero academy so they could destroy you when you reincarnatedI desperately opposed it but no one would listen todidn’t make the world peacefulThe battle was over but the ould begin again in 2000 years” (Ray)
The fighting would continue until one side eradicated the otherThose were the words I said to hia-senseiI pretended to die and just revived immediately but I realised sensei’s plan couldn’t be stopped anyuess he couldn’t do itThe hero Kanon didn’t have a sword to wield against huoTheyArnos who threw his life away to bring peace to the worldI couldn’t allow such an unjust story to unfoldI had to correct their mistake somehow” (Ray)
“That’s the reason…?” (Arnos)
Ray nods
“I created the fictitious de for the hue on” (Ray)
“How did you take my name away from the ht but thethan the hu it was their deep love for youEventually, everyone believed et Arnos VoldiGod” (Ray)
Voluntarily forget about me
“Evans Mana is the sword o I severed your fateThe fate of the reincarnating deed my name?” (Arnos)
“…Only the Gods knoill happen when you sever sohts were answeredLooks like I won the first bet” (Ray)
