25-2. Everyone needs a headache pill.

***

A corridor with a chandelier lighting the room. In that space, several unique people were sitting.

“So, Ake. Why did you bring us here..?”

“Head, if you called me for something trivial, I will kill you.”

A girl with impressive blue hair and a man with red hair opened their mouths to a gentleman wearing a monocle,

“Ha, this is why children outside the tax. So, the Demon King of Omniscience. What do you have to say?”

“I called because a new hero appeared.”

“That’s the story of my husband! Head!”

A woman wearing a magician’s hat and a person wearing a long black coat joined the conversation.

“Yes, my name is Licht. No matter how much I search with batteries, the past doesn’t come out.”

“Then are you sure he is the summoned hero? How many warriors are you? Let me loosen up a bit….”

“No, Finn. You can’t go out.”

A demon king named Finn showed sympathy for Licht by clenching his hand, but Head shook his head and dissuaded him.

“We don’t know how far our authority will go. It’s dangerous if your abilities are known to others.”

“Because he saw through my lies too!”

The magic hat blushed her cheeks and twisted her hair in one hand, putting on a bright expression as if she were talking about her lover.

“Because the way to have an advantage in information warfare is to not reveal the hand you have.”

He sighed a little and told him why he stopped the demon king named Finn.

“..Holy sword, do you have a holy sword?”

A man who felt a sense of difference in his appearance. Heukun with his deer antlers asked. Then the gentleman wearing the monocle continued to speak with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

“There won’t be. In the end, if there was a holy sword, Tardune would have given it to me, but I haven’t seen such a sign in the prophecy.”

“..Then it’s a similar case to Dennis. I used magic to block the authority.”

At Head’s remarks, a blue-haired woman with a ponytail answered in a slightly lower voice,

“Intinium. You spoke well. You mean that blue hair that looks like you?”

“hehehe.. That’s right. Finn’s brother Thanks for the compliment.”

The two men and women who looked like siblings agreed that Richt was similar to a teenage girl named Dennis while organizing what they knew.

“If you don’t have the holy sword, you will have no choice but to be defeated by the demon king in the end. It’s because you lack the qualities you should have as a hero.”

“..Is that so? Head?”

“What is it, magic hat. Do you have anything else to say?”

“No, no! This will be a little more fun!”

Contrary to what Richt knew, here, instead of 4, a total of 5 demon kings were discussing and devising ways to destroy him.

“I will gather the ‘Apostles of Gluttony’ and the minimum number of Braves to try to invade Grand Hearts Academy.”

“It must be difficult to penetrate there because of Laplace? Will you lend me another mask?”

“No, according to the battery, it was more likely to enter fair and square.”

Head took a book out of his pocket and saw that it was written that this method had the highest probability. What it says is 99%.

“There is nothing wrong with fate. First stop Drake and Dennis.”

“..Is it best to kidnap Licht and the princess? Head.”

The magician took a card out of his pocket. It was a tarot card with the word Fool on it. An insulting remark directed at Head, no matter who sees it.

“Yes. Magic hat. Laughing from earlier bothered me, do you have something to say?”

“No! Since you are the Demon King of Omniscience, there is nothing you don’t know, right?”

It was very disturbing to see the demon king of truth smiling at him from earlier, but Head took out a red revolver from his chest and loaded it.

“Drake’s ultimate is annoying, but at this point Dennis probably hasn’t mastered the three-dimensional magic circle. There are odds.”

He finished his short talk to the demon lords. It was because it suddenly occurred to him that if he spoke any further, he might be caught on the contrary.

“..This is the 7th.”

Looking at the gun with only one empty out of its eight magazines, he spoke briefly. It looks like it is made to play Caucasian roulette.

“If it doesn’t work, you have one last chance.”

Looking at it, he smiled.

“Fate will never go astray. Warrior of the will.”

The expression that he is tired of this kind of thing now. His footsteps leaving the castle resonated in the corridor.

***

The afternoon at Grand Hearts Academia was peaceful. It’s so quiet that it bothers me.

“Swordsmanship is the study of will. After all, if you have the will to ‘I can cut’, there is nothing you can’t cut!”

A man with short yellow hair and many scars from swords on his face. A grand sword master who could be said to be similar to me with burns.

“Because a person’s will cannot be broken! hahahaha!!”

It was Drake, my first swordsmanship teacher. This person was a hidden vision of former career that did not come out even with data mining.

“Even if it’s an armor made of Orichalcum or adamantium!”

He stood in front of the armored wooden doll and drew his sword. The silvery steel reflected the light.

“You can cut it!”

Cut it right down and stomp it down. There was a sound. Drake slices like vegetables.

“..Licht too. It was the same.”

“Yes..? What are you talking about? Mr. Mardol.”

While watching that, Mardol whispered right next to me. You mean when he stripped off his glass armor.

“My body…. You missed me so much. Richt.”

“If anyone hears it, please stop saying things that will misunderstand..”

“..A real pervert.”

“…”

I couldn’t destroy the Masterpiece, so I wrote a solution.

Perhaps there is still sediment left, the golden eyes inside the glass helmet have become thin crescent moons. Do I have to accept it because I also see my karma?

“Like this, among the swordsmanships I can use, there are skills that can even cut down the ‘concept’ of a dragon!”

Drake mentions his ultimate skill, Dragon Slayer. The way he thumped his chest with his hands as if to show off seemed quite confident.

‘Because the ultimate skill that can stand against the demon lord is basically tied to the concept.’

Dennis’ three-dimensional magic circle is the same. Beyond the limits of the concept of ‘flat’, the magic circle implemented as ‘three-dimensional’ is also effective for the demon king.

“So don’t rely solely on mana, find a way. Find your own strength and use it to cut down the world!”

He returned to the podium and banged it, continuing the story.

“Healthy mana resides in a healthy body. Everyone!!”

While shouting his frequent lines,

“From among the students graduating from this academy, a hero who can defeat the demon lord is born. This is Drake’s dream!”

With an expression of guilt about the demon lords they couldn’t finish, he recites his humble wish to the future hope in front of him.

“Because I have a strong will, maybe that’s why I won even Magic Hat. Licht.”

“..Maybe. I was lucky.”

It was then. She listened to Drake and spoke to me again. To be honest, I was prepared to die, so I was about half right.

Because killing the demon is basically preparing for death. It is unfavorable to use in situations other than 1v1 combat.

Even if you defeat one enemy, another enemy appears and continues the battle….

‘It must have died because of the timeout.’

Recalling the past memories like that made my head throb.

I think I’m missing something. What kind of discomfort is it? I vaguely remember going out to get some fresh air at a festival.

‘I must have bumped into someone at a cocktail bar….’

Who is it? I can’t remember the face like a grain of sand slipping out of my hand. I was someone I’d seen a lot of.

“Mr. Mardol. Do you know what I did last night?”

“..When I went out to get some fresh air?”

“Yes, at that time. My memory is fuzzy.”

“..Maybe. I stumbled.”

I stumbled. At least I don’t remember that. Think. Who the hell did you meet?

Who do you have to meet to leave a sense of incongruity in your memory, and the information is disjointed and contradictory….

Oh, no way.

‘..The Demon Lord of Battery?’

Taang─.

The moment I finished thinking. A single gunshot rang out outside the academy.

[The defense barrier surrounding the academy has been broken! Students, repeat. This is a real situation….]

Just after that, Laplace’s voice was broadcast throughout the school, announcing an emergency, but the students did not move as if no one had heard.

“..Mr. Mardol. Did you hear?”

“I heard. Licht.”

The glass knight seemed to be fine, perhaps due to the influence of Masterpiece, and I immediately jumped out of my seat to ask about Ariel and Kainel.

“Mr. What’s happening? It just aired..!”

“..Licht, is it something I know?”

Kinel created a barrier around the magician by activating the Holy Sword of Light. Fortunately, neither of them were affected by the power.

‘Think about it. Soohyun Lee. A situation similar to the final battle in .’

The only time he used the authority of ignorance in all directions was when he was carrying out his own plan.

“Drake!! Sounds crazy but listen!! The cult of warriors will attack soon! The Demon King of Battery….”

As if feeling something incongruent, he screamed at Drake, who was vigilantly holding his sword. It is impossible to even predict who will die.

‘It’s different from when I was in Magic Hat..!’

Clanging. With the sound of glass breaking, figures covering their faces and bodies in white outfits stormed into the academy’s auditorium.

A sentence in which four swords cross each other in a # shape. A pseudo-group that follows the 4 fallen heroes. It was a warrior school.

“Death to the false heroes!!”

“Glory to the Brave Bridge!! Grab Drake’s ankle!!”

“I will burn this body!!”

The figure who set his own body on fire lunged at him, and Drake clicked his tongue and slashed the warrior straight with his sword.

“These guys are no different from 10 years ago or now….”

Wiping the blood off his face, he looked at his other enemies. He took a look at the enemies that had dug in among the students.

“Drake style 1 meal, shadow slash…. No,”

「Contrast cutting.」

He closed his eyes for a moment and cast a horizontal slash. Then, only the warriors in white robes had his body cut off.

The entire auditorium was cut in one piece, but the students at the academy were not even hurt. A decision made in an instant. It was a restrained swordsmanship itself.

‘Drake was not ignorant.’

As expected, ten girls. There were no incidents of students dying. He was blocking most of the incoming waves,

“Something is strange. Licht. Why are only us and the professor all fine..?”

“Yes, Licht. Ariel is trying to dispel the magic, but she can’t!”

Together with Mardol, I stopped the Braves who couldn’t enter and threw their weapons at the students. I even used her mirror and her shield to repair her broken windows.

“..It is not magic.”

Even in such an emergency, the characters other than Drake and the four of us stayed still, as if not knowing what was going on.

“It is the power of ignorance.”

Calmly, unaware of anything. I just sit and look at the distant mountains. The power to completely neutralize a person’s intellect. What the hell is this for?

Only one person can invade this place with such a crazy idea.

‘Head Acre.’

Perhaps I met him at a cocktail bar at a festival. Not even bothering to incapacitate Drake and making him work on saving lives like this.

‘Are you coming too?’

His personality obsessed with life was well revealed. It is disadvantageous to use Corrupted Root Glitch now. A situation where you don’t know what the Demon King of Omniscient prepared.

You can win only by poking loopholes with cards he doesn’t know. Even in the original game, refer to the save file,

‘Because he’s the one who came with the player’s countermeasures accordingly.’

Advanced Algorithm. Or should I say leveling system. The stronger the player became, the more he was an unusual demon king who had to attack differently according to it.

“My disciple. Run away The cult of warriors is me….”

“I can’t do that. Drake.”

I had a headache. Looking at the fallen warrior cult, I thought. All of this situation right now must be in the palm of his hand.

“If Head Ayke is here, he will be targeting me.”

A Shinigami who was summoned as a hero from another world. The footsteps of the omniscient demon king were toward the academy.
