Demon Lord's Reincarnation-Chapter 112 - The maiden

Valdel was shocked to see the wolf eared girl again after that incident. He didn't expect the wolf girl to come back so early, she was also waiting for him in front of the academy's gates. Didn't he already tell her his room number? Was she not allowed to enter or did she forget the number of his room?

While Valdel was thinking about various things, Kuro suddenly bowed in front of him.

"Master I have returned." Valdel who was thinking ever so deeply was surprised to hear what Kuro said.

"... Kuro, there's no need to call me master." Valdel couldn't help but smile awkwardly at Kuro, whose ears and tail were moving so excitedly. Yet the moment Valdel told Kuro not to call him master, her ears suddenly drooped.

"Does master hate me? Am I not suitable to be standing at master's aide?" Kuro's voice was filled with depression and disappointment. Seeing her like that made Valdel feel extremely guilty.

"Fine, you can call me whatever you want." When Kuro heard what Valdel her ears suddenly perked up again, as her tail started wagging.

"I'll be in your care master."

...

After reuniting with Kuro, the two started walking towards Valdel's dorm when some people suddenly blocked their path. These people were the ones that lost their relatives, Valdel wanted to apologize about failing to find their relatives, but before he could say anything the noble students suddenly thanked him.

"Huh?" Valdel couldn't help but look at the crowd in confusion.

"Thank you, thank you for saving my father!" One of the girl students suddenly hugged him, which made Kuro silently get in between the two. The other students were a little less emotional, as they bowed their head.

Valdel then remembered what Ren said to him before leaving. That once he returns the people he was looking for would show up.

'Once again Ren was the one who dealt with my problem. Once again he showed just how large the difference in our ability is.'

Valdel was getting a bit depressed and was about to say something, but once again he was interrupted.

"Valdel it's great that you've returned. The principal has been waiting for you in his office. I suggest you go there immediately."

'It's just one thing after another.' Valdel couldn't help but sigh as he headed towards the principal's office.

...

Galius was waiting inside his office and right in front of him was a woman near her late teens wearing a red robe with an emblem of a sword crossing with an ax.

When Valdel entered the room accompanied by Kuro, he immediately noticed the new face.

"Oh, you're finally back Valdel, and who is this lady?" Galius looked at Kuro with a piercing gaze. The look Galius was giving her made Kuro tremble a bit. She felt that Galius was staring right through her core, which was uncomfortable.

"She's Kuro, my... Maid," Valdel couldn't call Kuro his servant, since he didn't like that, and he couldn't call her his companion since she won't like that. So calling her his maid was the best he could do. Kuro didn't seem to mind, which made Valdel sigh in his head.

"I see... Can you please tell your maid to wait outside, since this is a sensitive matter."

Valdel looked at Kuro, who simply bowed and left the room. Once Kuro was gone, the maiden sitting on the coach stood up, started to walk towards Valdel and started scanning him from head to toe.

"Hmm, the looks seem to be a bit above average." The maiden then started touching Valdel's body, which made Valdel do a backstep distancing himself from the maiden.

"W-w-w-what the hell are you doing!"

"The muscles are nice and tight." As if she didn't hear the shocked Valdel, the maiden continued her assessment on Valdel.

"Even the mana his pouring out is a bit better than most, but not as overwhelming as I thought it would be. Galius are you sure this is the boy called Valdel? Isn't he too weak?"

"Lady Rachel, how about introducing yourself first before doing anything else." The maiden now identified as Rachel looked at Galius with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Why should I introduce myself to someone like him? It doesn't seem like he's the one I'm looking for, so I might as well just leave as strangers."

Hearing Rachel's answer made Galius sigh. Valdel, on the other hand, was confused by the whole scene. He couldn't understand what the hell was happening in front of him.

"Valdel can you please stop suppressing your mana and show lady Rachel your true might." Seeing as the conversation doesn't seem like it would move forward without him doing so, Valdel didn't bother questioning Galius, and just did as he was told.

Upon releasing the full extent of his mana, Rachel who was looking a bit bored was suddenly shivering. At first, Valdel thought he made Rachel scared because of how large and dense his mana was, but her reaction was the opposite. She was actually shivering in excitement.

"Wow! That's awesome! Why the heck are you suppressing this kind of power? You really are the person I'm looking for." Rachel suddenly hugged Valdel with sparkling eyes. Valdel who wasn't really that good in dealing with such situations didn't know what to do at this time.

'Master how about pushing her aside.' Zwei suddenly spoke inside his head. Galius who was watching at the side suddenly made a dry coughing sound.

"So now that you have confirmed he's the one you're looking for, how about you introduce yourself lady Rachel."

"Oh my, where are my manners." Rachel then separated herself from Valdel and did a curtsy.

"I'm sorry for the late introductions, I am Rachel the one and only holy maiden from the shrine of the War God Hieus. I have journeyed here to meet with you, the chosen hero of our glorious God." 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

The moment Valdel heard what Rachel said, he couldn't say anything as he simply stood there in stunned silence.
