Chapter 34

The next day at the 2nd training ground cla.s.sroom .

Emilia enters along with the bell signalling the start of cla.s.s .

Behind her is a male student in black clothes .

“Good morning . Before we start I’m going to introduce a new transfer student . ”

Emilia writes a name on the blackboard .

Ray Grandori .

The black-clothed student steps forward .

“Nice to meet you all . I’m Ray Grandori . Actually, I was supposed to be here for the first day but due to certain circ.u.mstances, I’m starting late . There’s lots of things I don’t know so I would appreciate it if people could help me when I’m stuck . Thank you . ”

He had a transparent like voice with light blue eyes, white hair and a beautiful androgynous face that gave off a cool impression .

“… . Oi, oi… . . he’s a 7 sided star . . ”

“Idiot . Of course he is . He’s Ray Grandori, one of the chaos generation . The tempering demon sword saint . He’s a monster who can use any sword . Forget about demon swords, he can even use spirit swords and sacred swords that mazoku shouldn’t be able to use . ” (1)

“I’d heard he’d enrolled but since he hadn’t come to school yet I thought it was just a made-up story . ”

One of the chaos generation huh . Like Sasha, he seems very famous .

“Ray-kun . Because you can use Demon King Army <Guys> you are eligible to run as a group leader . What do you want to do?”

“Is that so? What should I do?” he says in a refres.h.i.+ng tone .

He doesn’t seem a warlike type .

“The groups have already been decided but I’ll postpone the matches to give you time to prepare some members for the group opposition test . Of course, you can enter someone else’s group this time if you want but next time you will be partic.i.p.ating as a leader . A group with you as a leader with your ability… . . ”

Apparently, Emilia really wants to make Ray a group leader for some reason .

“I haven’t made friends with anyone yet so I’m happy being in someone else’s group . ”

“Eh… . . ?”

Emilia raises a puzzled voice .

Was it an unexpected remark from a member of the chaos generation?

“I…I understand . You won’t find members for your group so soon, so you are temporarily entering someone else’s group . I think there will be a number of students who want to join Ray-kuns group when you become a leader though . ”

“Being a leader is too much for me . ” Ray says frankly .

“Even if you say such a thing, I’m sure that those that enter your group will disagree . ”

Fumu . Emilia seems to be pus.h.i.+ng Ray quite a bit . I wonder why?

“Well then . Since you need to choose a group, will the group leaders please stand up . ”

“It’s fine . There’s no need . ”

Emilia looks curiously at Ray

“Do you already know the group leaders names and faces?”

“Nope . Not at all . ”

Emilia starts looking at Ray suspiciously now .

“But I know the one . ”

Ray finishes talking and starts walking .

The cla.s.srooms gaze was fixed on him and whispered voices started leaking out .

“… . . Who’s group is he entering… . . ?”

“He’s the tempering demon sword saint . Did we have someone capable of controlling him in our cla.s.s?”

“Maybe he thinks Sasha-sama is a leader?”

“I see . That’s true . There’s no way you’d think the witch of ruin was a member of a white clothes group . ”

Ray walks straight to Sasha’s seat, walks past and stops in front of my seat .

“Yo . Nice to meet you . I’m Ray Grandori . ” Ray says while having a refres.h.i.+ng smile “What’s your name?”

“It’s Arnos VoldiG.o.d . ”

“Well, Arnos-kun will you let me join your group? I’m pretty good at handling swords . I’m sure I’ll be of help to you . ”

Fumu . This is an unexpected offer .

“How do you know I was a leader?”

Ray answered immediately .

“Because your magic is the strongest in this cla.s.s . ”

He can sense my magic and remain unafraid?

In other words, he has considerable magic power himself .

“Even though I’m in white clothes?”

Ray looks at my clothes and an expression that says he’s just noticed appears on his face .

“Oh yeah . I only saw your magic power . ”

Ray laughs at his own mistake .

“Even so, Arnos-kun is great . Normally white clothes couldn’t be leaders . ”

“If there’s rules, they can be broken . ”

Ray laughs .

“As I thought, I want to join your group . You’re interesting . ”

Ray offers me a handshake . He’s a very refres.h.i.+ng man .

“Ra…Ray-kun . You may join any group but Arnos-kuns mark is a stigma…… . . ”

“Stigma… . . ?”

Ray looks at the brand of the inept on my uniform .

“Aah, so you’re the rumoured one . The first person to be branded inept in the whole school’s history . ”

“So it seems . ”

“I see . So even with your strong magic, you are still branded inept? What’s the apt.i.tude test for then?”

Emilia seems to be surprised at Ray’s simple question .

“Ra…Ray-kun . It that statement a royal critique?”

“Aah, sorry . Let’s pretend you didn’t hear that . ”

“I didn’t hear……… . ”

I couldn’t help laughing at Ray’s att.i.tude towards royalty .

“You’re a pretty interesting guy . ”

“Really? Is that okay? I’ve often been told I can’t read the air very well . ”

“That’s amusing . ”

Ray lets out another refres.h.i.+ng smile .

“That’s the first time I’ve been praised for that . ”

Ray turns towards Emilia .
