1.

Club club club.

Just a simple warrior club.

It’s time again for the Warrior Club, which gets tougher day by day.

“Phew… I’m tired again today. ”

However, that doesn’t mean that I only practice hard during the warrior club hours.

After school, he always cross swords with Kariel, does personal training, studies the operation of the Holy Order, and diligently follows his schoolwork.

I know you’re all my flesh and blood, but I can’t help but complain about the murderous schedule.

“Cariel, that bastard is no help!”

I mutter to myself, filled with useless anger.

It actually helps a lot.

It’s good because I learn a lot through sparring.

But it’s true that I feel bad because I keep losing.

The most important reason I said this was because of the club activity supplies application form I was holding in my hand.

“If you do both, what good will it do?”

I’m on my way to the student council office to personally submit an application for supplies needed for club activities.

Since it’s a new club, we have to get support for small things that you might think, ‘Why isn’t this there?’

The student council room is located directly opposite the professor’s building and quite far from the training center.

There is the hassle of having to eat lunch and walk a long way to submit the application for supplies.

As I walked down the hallway, grumbling, I eventually arrived at the student council office.

And when I hesitated for a moment in front of the door.

“…….There’s a demon king at the academy……”

I heard a story that should never have been heard.

In an instant, a chill ran down my spine and goosebumps began to appear.

The only person in this world who knows this fact is me, the main character.

I held my breath and put my ear close to the door.

“……There is a demon king, huh…..”

That’s for sure.

The absolute secret that there is a Demon King in the Academy is known to no one but me.

And the owner of that voice is.

“…Srenya? Why are you…?”

In a situation where I don’t understand English, my head is spinning and I demand an explanation.

In a contradictory situation where something absurd has happened, the mind comes up with a plausible explanation.

No, because if it weren’t for this explanation, I wouldn’t be able to explain this situation.

‘The Demon King, huh?’

If the Demon King’s existence is me… I can say this.

If it is not just a core material that runs through the theme of the novel, but a monologue about himself, that is, the Demon King, being in the academy.

This makes sense.

In an instant, the person who had become the dark mastermind and demon king of the academy was right in front of me.

“…..Hyuu …

‘…no.’

First of all, Srenya is not the Demon King.

But the biggest question.

‘How does Srenya know that there is a Demon King???’

There is no solution to this.

“Haaa…”

I let out a long sigh and turned around.

The student council members will probably be returning after finishing their lunch.

If it looks like they’re eavesdropping in front of the door, isn’t that a little… strange?

“Ban? What are you doing here?”

“Ah, ah! Surprise, Cariel! Why are you here!”

“…Because it’s the student council.”

“Yeah. That’s right. Yeah.”

I was startled when I saw Kariel sticking his head in.

But I was sure that it was me who looked strange, so I moved away to avoid the place.

“That’s right.”

“Huh?”

“Here is the club supplies application form.”

He also placed the application form for supplies on top of the stack of papers that Cariel was holding.

“Please solve it well. It’s for our club’s daily bread. You know?”

“…Okay, as a student council, we will judge fairly and then let you know the results. That’s all. ”

It’s a bit rough.

After putting off such a shocking event, I finished my club activities without rest.

2.

“Haa, haa, haa…”

It’s ruined.

Today, I didn’t even do a proper instructor strategy, and I’m covered in blood, sweat, tears, and dust.

“What’s wrong with you today, Ban? I can’t concentrate at all.”

“Ahh… Haa. I guess something like that happened.”

Taina sat down in front of me and handed me a towel.

I wiped my face with a very useful towel I bought with my supplies money last week.

“No matter what, even if I think about something else, I’m not weak enough to be an opponent.”

“Ugh, that’s why I lost twice today.”

“Well, that’s true. But it looks like you have a lot of distracting thoughts.”

I wonder if Taina has some kind of poison.

If you can read other people’s minds this well, shouldn’t you be called a mind reader even if it’s not a mind reader?

“…Can you see it?”

“Yeah. Compared to the dark Ignis, you were delusional while fighting. ”

“Ahem.”

“Huh? Did you call me Taina?”

“No, no, keep falling down.”

“Okay…”

“So, what is it?”

Looking at Taina’s face, I think it must be that.

I’m curious, so tell me what you think, he’s using a very lethal method.

You’ve never once told me what you thought.

“It’s nothing.”

“Hey, tell me. If you’re suffering this much, then as a friend, I should help you.”

“Hoo.”

Think about it for a moment.

It is certain that Srenya knows the secret theme of this novel.

It’s not just me.

A person who knows the secret of the Demon King’s existence.

“…Wait a minute.”

secret.

The secret is that the Demon King lives in the Academy.

‘…Does it need to be a secret?’

Of course, the importance of work should never be taken lightly.

Because he’s the Demon King.

however.

Do I need to prepare for that on my own?

So, it’s better if everyone knows.

‘Isn’t it rather beneficial to me?’

If you don’t inform the Academy that there is a Demon King.

Even if you try to twist your whole body into a warrior’s club to prepare for the Demon King, it may be impossible.

Of course, I know how to act as a warrior, and I have pretty good information and plans for the future.

“What are you thinking?”

“Me, did you call me, Taina…?”

“No! Heal Unigness! She keeps talking nonsense.”

“Ugh, ugh… I can’t, I can’t treat you anymore… S, save me…”

These four people.

And what can five people do, including Instructor Tachibesus?

What if we tell the Academy that there’s a Demon King?

Even if it’s just a rumor among students, the level of alertness is definitely raised.

Because the difference between someone who knows nothing about earthquakes and someone who periodically hears warning broadcasts is worlds apart.

And naturally, we can put pressure on the devil hiding among us.

If you do something suspicious without knowing your intentions for sneaking into the academy.

A student who witnessed it may not be able to take action, but he or she will be able to remember it longer and more clearly.

There is some limitation on action.

Secondarily, the status of the warrior club will also rise along with the level of vigilance against the Demon King.

The warrior club will become strong like a real warrior who fights against the Demon King, not like a neighborhood kid’s plaything.

And you won’t have to worry about Srenya’s secret anymore.

Because it will become common knowledge to everyone, not just a secret that only Srenya has.

This is it.

It’s right to spread it.

Spreading a rumor that the Demon King lives in the Academy.

“Actually, it’s nothing special? It’s really nothing special.”

“Tell me something trivial.”

“…Have you ever heard that there’s a demon king in the academy?”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

First of all, the beginning is Thailand.

If you are a Thai with broad feet and sharp ears, you will become a good megaphone for good rumors.

“What are you talking about? Demon King? Wasn’t the Demon King defeated before we were born?”

“If they don’t come out saying that the Demon King has been defeated, then we should go back to the first Demon King. Anyway, where did you hear that? Let it go in one ear and out the other.”

Even if I try to act like a brat for no reason, I know.

Taina doesn’t miss a single little thing and there are rumors that seem absurd but are groundbreaking.

“Oh, no. Can you tell me more?”

It’s more memorable than you think.

And that means more curiosity.

“Hey, what else are you curious about? Where did I hear that too?”

“Where did you hear that? An urban legend? A legend? A prophecy?”

Shudder.

It’s a prophecy… Okay, let’s remember the prophecy.

I hesitated for a moment to gather my thoughts and then continued acting as originally planned.

“I think it was the student council kid who did it? I can’t remember exactly when I heard it.”

“…You heard it from the student council?”

Sorry, Srenya.

But it’s not wrong, and I didn’t reveal my name or anything, so it doesn’t matter.

Taina, who had taken the bait, began to organize something on her leather notebook with a puzzled expression.

I immediately expressed my displeasure.

“What are you writing again Taina? I said it’s just a rumor…”

“It’s just a rumor, so it doesn’t matter?”

Taina was scribbling something without even looking at me.

‘It was good.’

I didn’t expect this to be such a passionate response, but it’s definitely a positive sign.

The class left their seats with a smile, saying, “As planned.”

3.

Then, one by one, I started to carry out my plan.

Of course, I had no intention of spreading rumors in one day.

Because there’s nothing more disastrous than finding out that I’m the source of a rumor.

But the important thing is that the person who spread the rumor remains unknown while the rumor is spreading.

Because rumors are about what they contain, not who started them.

Just a location that provides an interesting topic of conversation is enough.

“Ignes, did you hear that?”

And then he put the plan into action.

It feels like a countermeasure, since Taina rarely blabbers or reveals information about herself.

“There’s a rumor going around that there’s a demon king in the academy.”

“Eeeeek!?!? Lies! Why is the Demon King in the Academy?”

“No, that’s what they say. It’s just a rumor. ”

“Is that wrong?”

It may seem like it was easier said than done, but this is enough to plant the seed.

I wanted to tell Cariel too, but… I was afraid that if I revealed that the source of the rumor was the student council, I would get in trouble, so I just kept my mouth wide open.

Start with the friends around you.

Classmate.

A friend whose name I only know.

A friend whose face I only know.

So things progressed gradually.

Because rumors can travel a thousand miles by word of mouth.

In addition to the closed environment of the academy, the status of students with active communication, and the academy life that they have adapted to to some extent.

I wonder if the rumor will spread faster than I expected.

‘This works.’

…

A week after starting the plan.

‘The Demon King lives in the Academy.’

There are fewer people who have never heard of this ridiculous story than those who have.
