The Misfit of Demon King Academy

“You only seem to have one member and its a defective doll-san at that.”

Fumu. Suddenly picking a fight with this me-sama. It seems this woman’s not right in the head.

“When you say defective doll, are you referring to Misha?”

“Is there anyone else in your group?”

*Fufu* Sasha looks down on me while laughing.

“Don’t you know? That child isn’t a mazoku but she’s not human either. Like I said earlier she’s a defective doll-san. No life, no soul, no will. Just a trash doll that only works due to magic.”

A magic doll?

She said their parents were the same. Was she created using their blood?

Well, whatever. There are many, many ways of creating magic dolls. There’s even a way of creating a magic doll by a mazoku actually giving birth to it.

If you are any good the doll will really be alive.

“What about it?”

“…….What do you mean?…..”

“If you think that a magic doll has no life nor soul then your understanding of magic is pitifully shallow. Concentrate your demon eyes even further and stare into the abyss.”

A surprised expression quickly crossed her face before she laughed fearlessly.

“I’ll give you some advice. If you stay by such a cursed doll-san something bad will happen. Nee, you understand that right?”

I snort through my nose and laugh.

“Kukuku, kuhahahaha. What…that…..is that a threat? To this me?”

Sasha starts to glare at me.

“Nee. You. Do you want to die?”

Magic formations appear in Sasha’s blue eyes.

The students watching on in interest start to panic.

“Oi, this is bad. That fellow meeting eyes with Sasha-sama.”

“……What do you mean?”

“You don’t know? The demon eyes of Sasha-sama are special. <Demon Eyes of Ruin>. If she invokes them then everything in her field of vision will turn to ruin if she wills it. You disintegrate. That’s why Sasha-sama is called the witch of ruin.” (4)

I see. Is it an idiosyncrasy? Misha is good with it and Sasha is good with it. It seems the Necron family has the magical characteristic to specialise in demon eyes.

Anyway, it won’t work against me.

“…..No way……”

“What’s wrong? Have you got bored of this staring game?”

I glare back at Sasha. My eyes fill with magic and spell formations appear in them.

“Your eye’s…..no way…….you…..”

“What’s up? Did you think you could do something I couldn’t do? Let me give you some pointers on how to use <demon eyes of ruin>.”

I was saying some good lines but Sasha’s magic technique is still immature. I’ll teach her something for future reference.

“Let me show you the true <demon eyes of ruin>”

“……..Ah……….ah…….”

No one in the classroom disintegrates and at a glance, Sasha is fine as well. What I destroyed with my demon eyes is her impertinent mind.

“I can’t believe it……that fellow matched eyes with Sasha-sama and he’s fine.”

“…..I. Years ago I matched eyes with Sasha-sama by mistake while she had them invoked. I was in a coma for a year………..”

“That fellows a white clothes plus he’s an inept person, however, he has exceptional knowledge of magic ceremonies and excellent anti-magic capabilities.”

Fumu. This classroom sure is noisy.

“…..In fact. There’s a gag order in place so the story won’t spread but I was watching that fellows entrance exam. Arnos was performing instant death spells on Liorg-sama.”

“Eeeeeh!? On that great demon emperor……..instant death!?”

“Before that, he was trivially killing Zepes.”

“Killed? Seriously? He killed them!?”

“Aah, and after that, he revived them.”

“Revived!?”

“And killed them again.”

“Killed them again……….”

“Zepes was then turned into a zombie and made to kill Liorg-sama. He turned him into charcoal.”

“Suc….such a thing.”

“…..Eh? I’m sure I saw Liorg-sama after the entrance exam though.”

“Yeah, he revived them both afterwards.”

“What’s going on? I can’t keep up…….”

Whatever. This is enough for now.

“How long are you going to stay senile? It’s only the outer layer of your mind I disintegrated. The core of your mind is still firm.”

I lightly touch Sasha’s head and waken her mind.

Suddenly her eyes moved and caught mine.

“…..You. Who are you?…….”

“Didn’t I already introduce myself?”

I laugh a bold laugh and she glares at me in vexation.

“By the way Sasha, you have pretty good magic power. Won’t you join my group?”

Was it an unexpected line? Her eyes open widely and she appeared to be at a loss for words.

(1) I guess at the moment everyone is seeing him as this worlds equivalent of Megumin. Powerful but an oddball.

(2) Quality, not quantity.

(3) She uses Gokigenyou to great Arnos which (in anime and manga anyway) is normally heard from rich and privileged ladies in private schools.

(4) Thank you random exposition student.
