Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!

Chapter 175 : Paradise (1)

After finishing his conversation with Pamela, the Demon King Yastan entered his bedroom with a satisfied expression.

'Good. Things are going smoothly.'

Although it was a temporary arrangement, he quite liked the place he was staying in now. Thanks to the sturdy barrier surrounding it and the layers of magic, there was no need to worry about the dragons finding them.

Just then, a large light appeared in front of Yastan, and a pupil formed.

'It's the Demon God.'

Yastan, who knew what it was, quickly prostrated himself on the floor and prepared to greet Taras.

[Yastan.]

"I greet the most high."

Yastan pressed his forehead to the floor and lowered his posture even further.

[Do you know who the human you touched is?]

But the Demon God's voice was blazing with anger.

"..."

Unable to understand what he was saying, Taras, who had just pressed his forehead even closer to the ground, thought for a moment.

'Could it be about that wench, Pamela...?'

But it didn't make sense. Hadn't Pamela been living in the Resurrection Cult for a long time? And he hadn't touched Pamela, but had saved her.

'Then that human male...'

Taras's brow furrowed.

[Was my question difficult?]

"I am sorry. I thought he was just an ordinary human, although his skills were great."

[Don't even think about touching him again.]

He couldn't understand. Wasn't he just a human male?

And he was clearly full of malice towards him, but he was telling him not to touch him?

[...Yastan.]

"Keo, eok!"

As Taras's suppressed divine power lost its control and briefly burst out, blood gushed out of Yastan's mouth.

[Do not test my patience.]

"Keuk... I understand."

A human male. He didn't know who he was, but he must be an important figure.

'It's frustrating. So, so frustrating.'

But it was too frustrating. When his power and the man's power had clashed, Yastan had almost died.

An artifact with added divine power and tremendous mana. It was a power comparable to that of a dragon using divine magic.

And yet he had to do nothing to that human?

[I have warned you.]

"O great Demon God."

Yastan gathered his courage and called out to Taras.

[What is it.]

"I am afraid that I, in my foolishness, might make another mistake. Is there anyone else I should be careful of besides that human male?"

At that, Taras turned his body sharply and answered.

[There is no one.]

"Thank you."

With this, his anger subsided a little. He would find the human male and turn his surroundings into a mess. Weren't humans inherently weak-minded creatures?

If he couldn't endure the shock of being left alone in this world, his end was obvious.

As a large pupil opened again in front of the turned Taras, only Yastan was left in the room.

The corner of the Demon King's mouth, who had gathered the blood in his mouth and spat it on the floor, glistened with blood.

'I will leave you alone. And I will make you hold my hand.'

***

Nella, sitting alone in her room, stared blankly at the wooden sword leaning in the corner.

'Mister...'

Who had killed the mister? Even when she asked the spirits, they just shook their heads and she couldn't get a clear answer.

Nella, who had rolled up her sleeve, gently stroked the blue seal engraved on her forearm.

The water spirit king, Ellaim, whom she had called out in a fit of anger on the day Cursis had died coldly. She had never dreamed that he would actually make a contract with her.

'I didn't even know how to summon a high-level spirit yet...'

When she summoned a high-level spirit, she could naturally command the lower-level spirits. There was no need for a separate contract.

But to make a contract with a king.

She had fainted from the vast amount of mana that had left her body. But when she woke up, Ellaim, with his watery hair flowing down to his waist, was watching her.

[You've grown a lot. To think you can already call me.]

Ellaim's voice and face, as he looked down at Nella and smiled, were truly mysterious. The aura he exuded was 'water' itself.

[Will you make a contract with me?]

She remembered how Ellaim's eyes had widened when she had shaken her head vigorously, wondering if it was a dream.

[Are you saying you didn't call me to make a contract?]

'No, that's not it! I thought it was a dream.'

At that, the water spirit king had smiled faintly again.

And so, the seal of the spirit king was engraved on her wrist. At the same time, the natural spirits began to treat her like a king.

'Contractor.'

The funny thing was that even those flighty Naiads had begun to treat her with respect.

"It's really funny."

Nella's gaze moved from her arm to the wooden sword, and then back to her arm.

"Hah..."

Although she had said she would find the one who had killed the mister and punish them, she had no idea where to start or how to do it.

'I've never even punished anyone.'

She had never even killed a passing honeybee. But she still wondered what kind of bravado had made her call out even a spirit king.

'But...'

The words the mister had said on the day he had died came to mind.

She had learned that the one who had killed her parents was the Arant emperor, and that it was the evil deed of a black magic group.

But the emperor who should be punished was already dead, and the imperial palace had been turned into a mess by a meteor.

As a result, Nella was wandering in the air like an arrow that had lost its way.

"Hah..."

She desperately needed a change of pace. At times like these, playing with friends was the best.

Nella got up from her seat and headed outside.

***

Although it was an outing after a long time, Skir's expression was not good. It was a time when the pain had not yet subsided.

And since the imperial palace had been turned into a mess, the number of people looking for him had also increased.

'Please become a pillar to support the imperial family.'

The letters that flew to Skir every day were full of such contents.

"What should we do today?"

Although they had come out, they couldn't think of anything to do. At that, Caitlin, who was walking with them, cautiously opened her mouth.

"How about the place we went to last time? It's enough with two hours by carriage and boat."

She was talking about the resort created by Gold Nine.

"Oh? Should we?"

It seemed like a good idea, as the weather was getting hot and stuffy.

"Is it open now?"

"I know it's not open yet. But since they said to come and visit anytime, it should be okay to visit."

As Caitlin smiled faintly and said, the children looked at each other.

"Right. Let's do that."

As Skir nodded his head, Pola's expression brightened.

"Right!"

He had been worried that he might be ruining the children's mood because of him. But if they visited a place with happy memories again, his mood would get a little better.

"Let's go."

And he felt even better because Pola was so happy. Honey dripped from Skir's eyes as he looked at Pola.

"Hey. Cheer up. It'll all be okay."

But Pola seemed to not know anything like that.

"Right. I will."

As Skir smiled faintly, Pola gently patted his shoulder and walked ahead.

The group, who had arrived at the dock after riding a carriage, boarded the boat with excited hearts.

"Wow. This is the first time I've been on a boat like this."

"Me too. It's really cool, right?"

The children, who were standing on the pure white deck, let out cries of admiration as they looked at the luxurious interior of the boat.

"K-! It's cool. It's the crest of the Rodrigo family."

Pola said, looking at the golden crest engraved on the hull.

"Right. It's cool."

At that, Skir nodded his head and agreed with Pola's words.

"Oh~ what's with you? You're not saying something about our family?"

Pola, who had heard Skir's words, said lightly, as if trying to lighten the mood.

"Haha. What else would I say when something is cool?"

"You're cute."

At that, Skir's cheeks flushed and his ears turned bright red.

"K-khem."

Skir, who had turned his head sharply, coughed and threw his gaze to the end of the sea.

'Cute. I'm not cute, I'm cool...'

But Pola's appearance, as she smiled faintly and said he was cute, was so pretty.

'Someday, I will definitely propose to Pola.'

The salty smell of the sea that brushed his nose was quite nice.

***

The group, who had arrived at the island, changed their clothes with excited hearts and walked along the beach.

"Ah, is Ruki coming?"

"Yeah. He said he'd come later."

Nella, who had been in contact with Lucas, who was not at the Count's estate, via a crystal ball, answered.

"But Nella. What's that strange crest on your wrist?"

"Ah, it's just. Well..."

"Ugh! I told you not to do things like that. It's not good for your skin."

Pola slapped Nella's back.

"You used to put on strange crests from some magic tool shop in the old days, but what are you going to do if you still do that!"

"Haha..."

Pola seemed to have mistaken the seal of the spirit king on Nella's forearm for a magic tool that children would put on for fun.

"Ah, what was that thing we ate here last time?"

"The dew of the Toto tribe?"

"That's right! That. It was really delicious."

"But isn't the name of the menu too strange? The dew of the Toto tribe... it feels like they squeezed the Toto tribe."

Pola and Nella's mouths dropped open as they looked at Skir.

"No, what on earth is going on in your head? To think that you would have such a thought after seeing the name 'the dew of the Toto tribe'!"

"That's right. Sometimes, Skir oppa is a little strange."

Skir, who saw Pola's horrified expression, quickly waved his hand and tried to protest, but the two of them were already walking far away with quick steps.

"That's not it!!!"

Skir's back, as he chased after them, was pitiful.

The group, who had been playing in the water, sat under a parasol, enjoying the warm sea breeze.

'Is it okay for me to be like this? Is it okay for me to be happy?'

The same thought came and went in the minds of all of them as they felt happy.

"Uwaaaak!!!"

Just then, at the terrible scream coming from behind, the entire group shot up from their seats.

"What's wrong?"

Thinking that someone might have been burned by the barbecue fire, Pola first threw her gaze towards the restaurant.

"What is that?"

But there, instead of a person who had been burned, a corpse that had been torn to shreds was lying there, and above it, an unknown black hole had appeared and was pouring out monsters.

"Why are monsters coming out from here?"

Pola's voice trembled.

"Why are monsters coming out from here."

The surprised group, at the unfamiliar voice that had approached without any presence, was startled and moved back.

"I called them. This place is too much of a paradise for mere humans to enjoy."

Ashen skin and straightly protruding horns. It was clearly a demon from a book.

-Woong!

Skir immediately activated a protection spell and protected the children.

-Kugugugu...

Caitlin, who had appeared in no time, summoned the earth spirits and stood in front of the man.

-Kurururung!

A thunderous roar that shook the sky and flashing lightning began to strike down on the pouring out monsters.

-Kwa-jijijik!

"Kir! Buff!!!"

"I know!"

The magics that were unfolding at the same time began to turn the paradise into a mess.
