《Re: Hero and the Demon King》Tale 10 - Intentions
Advertisement
"Even I face death here, I won't concede!"
"You're really stubborn aren't you?"
"I don't want to make that same mistake of leaving my King behind to die without helping!"
"Well, I think what you've done there is right. You possess an incredible longevity, but you aren't an immortal like your King."
"You will never understand a knight's honor!"
[Thaszor] rushed towards me, with his sword on his uncut right arm. He tries to stab me towards my heart, but I easily blocked it using [Maximus].
"That sword is really incredible. Is that the sword you used to slay my brethren?"
"Well, same as your sword that you've used to kill my brethren."
He tries to execute a combo of stab, hack and slash. I easily blocked it with my [Maximus]. For the spectators, It looks like a one-sided battle, but our moves are beyond the level of normal. That's natural, since he's a general and I'm the [Hero].
I looked towards the principal while blocking all of [Thaszor]'s strikes.
"Hey, could you unbound all of the accessory materials of the students inside the Arena?"
"If you say so, Mr. [Qazar]"
"I , [Ulysses Farnoch], the present principal of this academy commands all of you. Unbind your chains that bound all limits."
After saying that line, all of the accessories of the students shone. It looks like the spell succeed. All of the students were confused what happened.
"If you could, please do it [Eleonor]."
"Yes."
Wearing a cold expression, she starts to chant a spell.
"Epic spell, Hypnosis"
All of the students within the Arena lost their consciousness.
"Thank you."
"Hmph."
Why is she so cold towards me? I'm also a part of your [Yves], you know?
I changed my attention towards [Thaszor] whose still attacking me. Because of my battle experience, I could deflect all his strikes unconsciously.
"Now let us wrap this up before they wake up. Why are you here other than to retrieve that king's [Avatar]?"
"Why do I need to tell the enemy our plans?"
"Figures."
I slashed both of his feet, making him kneel. I lifted him up by his neck and said.
"Tell this to your King. I declare this academy as my turf. If one of the likes of you tries to step their foot here, know that you'll never make it out alive."
"World spell, Space Door"
I opened a door that directly connects this area to another area I know. I opened a space door towards one of his territories in the Demon Continent.

"Lets play again after you get strong. Make your subjects attach your limbs for you."
I threw him with his legs and left arm to the other side of the door.
"You'll regret that you let me live."
"Well, if I don't, who will tell your King about my proclamation? Thank your Gods for letting you live."
Then the door disperses.
"Well, looks like the Demon King started to move. Maybe its time to make my Avatar know my existence. I want him to develop himself on his own, but time won't permit me to do so."
I looked towards the sky, sighing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I carried the plump boy named [Charles] to the bleachers of the Arena. The principal approaches me.
"They'll wake up in any minute, Mr. [Qazar]."
"Ah yes. Thank you for the reminder."
"Ancient spell, Nightmare."
"Wha-?!"
The principal was surprised. Well, Nightmare was used to torment people so it is categorized as attack spell.
"Don't worry, I'll just manipulate their memories from their dreams."
"I-is that so."
I erased their memories, starting from the appearance of [Thaszor] until [Eleonor] chanted the spell.
"That'll do the trick."
After that, a woman entered the Arena. It looks like she rushed towards the Arena, since he was sweating profusely
"It looks like my predictions are correct. I found you at last, Sir [Hero]!"
She runs towards me while spreading her arms. I evaded it by sidestepping to the left. Because of that, she slumped her face to the floor. She looks at me but I pointed [Maximus] to her.
"What do you want?"
Unfazed, she hold [Maximus]'s blade.
"Waaaaaaaaa~ so this is the favorite sword of the [Hero], the [Maximus]! I'm really lucky to have the opportunity to touch it!"
Looks like she's not listening. I lost my motivation to ask. I dispelled [Maximus], making it disappear to thin air. She looks amazed when I done that.
"H-h-how did you do that, Sir [Hero]? To make a solid material disappear to thin air. Sir [Hero] is really amazing!"
"Ahem-!"
Looks like the principal interrupted this teacher's annoying interrogation. [Eleonor] walks towards us, remaining silent throughout the conversation.
"Ah! Sorry for my disrespect, Sir [Hero]. I am [Yves Altair]'s teacher, [Dianne Lvonne].
"I know, since he's also a part of me. How did you know that I am the [Hero]?"
"It is just my intuition. When I saw his attribute elements, I knew that he is either the [Hero] or the [Demon King]. No one in recorded history of [Hachn] Academy to have the same case of him, having five elements at the same time."

"You're smart. But give me one reason that will convince me not to erase your memories here?"
The principal answered in place of the teacher.
"She might look like that, but she's a Master Magicsmith. Please let him know your secret."
"I know that. But it isn't enough. I may have trusted you, but it is because you are the top of this institution. Other than you,[Eleonor] , and this kingdom's ruler, I won't trust anyone else."
She looks at me with crestfallen eyes.
"If you really want, I could do something."
"Eh?!"
Both of them looked at me with a surprised face.
"I'll place a spell on you, making you unable to say my name and my identity. But if you try to tell it to people other than the principal and [Eleonor], that spell also makes you unable to speak forever. Is it okay?"
"Why is [Eleonor] involved with this mess?"
She looks at me with a confused look.
"Don't pry any further. If you know what's best for you."
"Yes, Sir [Hero]."
Then I started to chant.
"I, [Qazar the Immortal], calls on [Gleipnir], the strongest chain that binds even the most vicious of beast [Fenrir]. Please bind her tongue until I say so. Eternal binding!"
After I said that, one thin silk ribbon emerged out of thin air and wraps itself in her tongue.
"Binding complete.
I said for confirmation.
"That's it?"
Both of them were confused.
"Yes, but don't take it for granted. Be reminded that you are now chained by the strongest of all binding spells. One wrong move, and your tongue will be severed."
"Yes. I'll take it to heart, Sir [Hero]."
"Good."
Before I could return the body to my Avatar, she grabs a cystal ball in her pocket. My Avatar might be familiar with it, but since I could only obtain from his memories are people who associate with him, not the events happened to him.
"What is that?"
"Wait. You'll know what it is."
She directs her attention to the principal.
"Principal, please inscribe the magical formation in this tool. Since I transported it by the Teleportation Pocket, this tool lost its magical properties."
"I know what you're thinking. Okay I'll place one."
Then he creates a magical formation on the crystal. It glew for a few minutes. After that, it lost its luster, reverting it to its original form.
"Please Sir [Hero], place your hand on top of this crystal ball."
Suspicious. I used my insight to know if there is something harmful being engraved inside the magic tool. I saw that there are no problems so I placed my hand on top of it.
"[Qazar Aquila] Limit: 500,000 Elements: [Earth][Water][Fire][Air][Void] Unique: [???][???][???]"
"?!"
Aquila. The surname I abandoned a long time ago, pops out of a simple magic device. Good thing it hides my unique elements. As I am surprised with my surname popping out, the other two was surprised with my abilities. Since [Eleonor] knows this already, her face didn't change.
"As expected of the [Hero]. To have this kind of assessment. To have another 3 unknown skills other than the 5 elements is something a [Hero] could only possess."
Both of them agreed with that conclusion.
"Before you get the wrong idea, those unique skills are owned by my present avatar. Its not my power, but his."
They became more surprised to hear this. Then the teacher, [Dianne] said:
"But in my first assessment on Mr. [Altair], these unique skills didn't show. Why did that happened."
Before I could say it, [Eleonor] answered her.
"His alter ego was hiding all of his unique skills. Since he didn't know what that thing is, he didn't have the chance to hide it. I know what this person thinks. He wants to let [Altair] develop on his own. To avoid making [Altair] an arrogant person."
Then she slowly walks and whispers me some lines:
"But I know your true agenda. You don't want to make your Avatar to be alone like the previous one right? Being betrayed by the country he's fighting for. Since you're a [Hero], no one could stand by your side since you're too powerful. You want to make him a person that has friends he could rely on, by making him start as a weak person and develop with his friends."
" To know what i'm thinking, you're scary, you know?"
"I knew you better than anyone else."
[Dianne] looks at us with a curious face. I didn't pay her any attention and directed my focus to the principal.
"It looks like the duration of [Hypnosis] ran out."
Since I sensed the students would wake up any minute now.
"I'll go now. Goodbye."
The principal and [Dianne] said.
"Goodbye, Mr. [Qazar]"
"Goodbye, Sir [Hero]"
While [Eleonor] looks away.
"Hmph."
I get out of my Avatar's body.
