The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)-Chapter 34.1

The next day at the 2nd training ground classroom.

Emilia enters along with the bell signalling the start of class.

Behind her is a male student in black clothes.

“Good morning. Before we start I’m going to introduce a new transfer student.”

Emilia writes a name on the blackboard.

Ray Grandori.

The black-clothed student steps forward.

“Nice to meet you all. I’m Ray Grandori. Actually, I was supposed to be here for the first day but due to certain circumstances, I’m starting late. There’s lots of things I don’t know so I would appreciate it if people could help me when I’m stuck. Thank you.”

He had a transparent like voice with light blue eyes, white hair and a beautiful androgynous face that gave off a cool impression.

“….Oi, oi…..he’s a 7 sided star..”

“Idiot. Of course he is. He’s Ray Grandori, one of the chaos generation. The tempering demon sword saint. He’s a monster who can use any sword. Forget about demon swords, he can even use spirit swords and sacred swords that mazoku shouldn’t be able to use.” (1)

“I’d heard he’d enrolled but since he hadn’t come to school yet I thought it was just a made-up story.”

One of the chaos generation huh. Like Sasha, he seems very famous.

“Ray-kun. Because you can use Demon King Army <Guys> you are eligible to run as a group leader. What do you want to do?”

“Is that so? What should I do?” he says in a refreshing tone.

He doesn’t seem a warlike type.

“The groups have already been decided but I’ll postpone the matches to give you time to prepare some members for the group opposition test. Of course, you can enter someone else’s group this time if you want but next time you will be participating as a leader. A group with you as a leader with your ability…..”

Apparently, Emilia really wants to make Ray a group leader for some reason.

“I haven’t made friends with anyone yet so I’m happy being in someone else’s group.”

“Eh…..?”

Emilia raises a puzzled voice.

Was it an unexpected remark from a member of the chaos generation?

“I…I understand. You won’t find members for your group so soon, so you are temporarily entering someone else’s group. I think there will be a number of students who want to join Ray-kuns group when you become a leader though.”

“Being a leader is too much for me.” Ray says frankly.

“Even if you say such a thing, I’m sure that those that enter your group will disagree.”

Fumu. Emilia seems to be pushing Ray quite a bit. I wonder why?

“Well then. Since you need to choose a group, will the group leaders please stand up.”

“It’s fine. There’s no need.”

Emilia looks curiously at Ray

“Do you already know the group leaders names and faces?”

“Nope. Not at all.”

Emilia starts looking at Ray suspiciously now.

“But I know the one.”

Ray finishes talking and starts walking.

The classrooms gaze was fixed on him and whispered voices started leaking out.

“…..Who’s group is he entering…..?”

“He’s the tempering demon sword saint. Did we have someone capable of controlling him in our class?”

“Maybe he thinks Sasha-sama is a leader?”

“I see. That’s true. There’s no way you’d think the witch of ruin was a member of a white clothes group.”

Ray walks straight to Sasha’s seat, walks past and stops in front of my seat.

“Yo. Nice to meet you. I’m Ray Grandori.” Ray says while having a refreshing smile “What’s your name?”

“It’s Arnos Voldigod.”

“Well, Arnos-kun will you let me join your group? I’m pretty good at handling swords. I’m sure I’ll be of help to you.”

Fumu. This is an unexpected offer.

“How do you know I was a leader?”

Ray answered immediately.

“Because your magic is the strongest in this class.”

He can sense my magic and remain unafraid?

In other words, he has considerable magic power himself.

“Even though I’m in white clothes?”

Ray looks at my clothes and an expression that says he’s just noticed appears on his face.

“Oh yeah. I only saw your magic power.”

Ray laughs at his own mistake.

“Even so, Arnos-kun is great. Normally white clothes couldn’t be leaders.”

“If there’s rules, they can be broken.”

Ray laughs.

“As I thought, I want to join your group. You’re interesting.”

Ray offers me a handshake. He’s a very refreshing man.

“Ra…Ray-kun. You may join any group but Arnos-kuns mark is a stigma……..”

“Stigma…..?”

Ray looks at the brand of the inept on my uniform.

“Aah, so you’re the rumoured one. The first person to be branded inept in the whole school’s history.”

“So it seems.”

“I see. So even with your strong magic, you are still branded inept? What’s the aptitude test for then?”

Emilia seems to be surprised at Ray’s simple question.

“Ra…Ray-kun. It that statement a royal critique?”

“Aah, sorry. Let’s pretend you didn’t hear that.”

“I didn’t hear……….”

I couldn’t help laughing at Ray’s attitude towards royalty.

“You’re a pretty interesting guy.”

“Really? Is that okay? I’ve often been told I can’t read the air very well.”

“That’s amusing.”

Ray lets out another refreshing smile.

“That’s the first time I’ve been praised for that.”

Ray turns towards Emilia.
