103 - - The Brave, Face-to-face with Students from Other Schools

Lunch break.

Gaius and I are summoned to the chancellor's office at the school.

Walking down the long corridor, I ask my brother

"Why did they call us here?"

"Brother, ...... you said you were meeting with students from other schools today, right?"

"Oh, yeah, that's right. That's my brother. That's my brother.

He pats his brother on the head as he walks next to him.

He used to be reluctant to do so, but now he is quiet.

However, he never lets me touch him when he is in public.

I think he is cute like a cat.　

"By the way, brother. Are you sure you want me to be the captain of the school competition?"

The school competition is played by five representative players from each school.

This inevitably means that a captain is needed to lead the team.

"Of course, Mika and the others agreed, right?　He said, "You should be the captain.

"I told you that you were the right man for the job. ......"

No, I want to leave it to you.

"Why?"

"I thought it would be better for you."

This time, you will have more responsibility than when you were the leader of the party of adventurers.

The pressure is indeed painful and hard.

But in order for Gaius to go [higher], he must have the mental strength to overcome that level of pressure.

I thought this competition was a good opportunity.

I thought it was a good opportunity for Gaius to grow bigger and stronger.

"I can't be the captain of the school ...... because it's too much responsibility for me."

"Don't worry, you'll be a great captain. Trust me."

He puts his hand on my brother's shoulder and smiles at him.

Gaius looks up at me and smiles faintly.

"Yeah. I believe you."

And then...

"Oh, well, well, well!　I'm sure you're the students of the Royal Academy, the school that's always been the worst!"

A tall student approached us.

He is wearing a black school uniform.

He has long silver hair, which he wears in a slicked-back style.

"What's the Royal Academy?"

I'm talking about the school we go to.

"Hmmm, who is that guy?　You're not one of our students, are you?"

"Yes. The black uniforms are students of the Imperial Academy.

A boy from the Imperial Academy comes up to me.

"Oh?　Well, well, well?　I wonder if you, with the black hair, are Julius, the Carlisle abomination?"

I haven't heard that phrase in a while.

"Why are you here, dropout?　Are you on your way to the chancellor's office?　Oh, okay!　You were expelled for being too inferior!"

A blue streak appears between Gaius' eyebrows.

I pat him on the head.

He quickly calms his anger.

"So, who are you?"

"Well, well, well, you don't know me, do you? ...... Then you must be a moguri."

He sniffs derisively and says.

"I'm a special student of the proud Imperial Academy!　[Anti]!　Anti-Von Madukas!　That's right!"

A silver-haired male student says in an anti-kizaki-style pose.

"Madukas ......?　I've heard that somewhere."

"Haha!　There's a real fool!　I can't believe I forgot the name of the current [emperor]!"

Oh, that reminds me.

"So you mean you're the son of ...... Emperor Madukas?"

"Exactly!　Imperial family!　You'd better flatter him while you still can, wouldn't you, my dear~?"

The antagonist smirks.

"What? Why?"

"Hey ......!　I am the son of an emperor!　It's in your best interest to get to know each other!"

"Yeah, so why?"

Gillit ......!　And the antagonist grits his teeth.

"...... hmph!　Oh well. I won't give you permission if you cry [to make me your henchman] later!"

With a grim expression on his face, Anti heads for the chairman's office first.

"I honestly think it's great that you're not afraid of anything, brother.

Sighing, Gaius chuckles.

"Isn't that a bit of a subtle disrespect?"

"No way. No way. I'm complimenting you, I'm complimenting you.

"Well, if I'm getting compliments from my beloved brother, it's not so bad."

"Nah!　Don't say such a thing ...... in such a public place ......, it's embarrassing if someone hears you ...... ......"

Gaius blushes, turns his head and fidgets.

"Here we go. I'm sure the other students are waiting for us.

After a while.

We came up to the chancellor's office.

"Excuse me."

When I opened the door, something came rumbling in.

"What, isn't that the Prince from earlier? What are you doing?

"Yu-yu-yu-yu, Julius!　Oh no!　This year's competition is ...... outrageous!"

What is he talking about?

I walk into the chancellor's office.

There is a sofa set.

Two students are already sitting there.

The two students were emitting [a certain amount of] fighting aura and magical power.

"What?　How can you be so nonchalant under all this pressure?

Anti turns a look of astonishment on me.

"What, this is normal, right?　Hey, little brother."

"Yes, it is. Compared to you, I'm not even close."

With a cool face, I sit down in front of them.

"I'm Julius. This is Gaius, captain of the Royal Academy. Nice to meet you.

In front of them are students in uniforms of different colors.

One is a man in a blue uniform.

One is a woman in a red uniform.

"Mm!　Nice to meet you!"

The man reached out his hand first.

"Shhhh!　He squeezes my hand tightly.

"I am Tenryu Kazuma!　Just call me Kazuma!"

"I'm Julius. "Well, that's an unusual name, aren't you?"

Gyuuuhhhhhh!

Boom!　Bak-bak-bak-bak!

"Aaaaahhhh!　The ground!　It's cracking!　What the hell?　What's going on?

Anti-Scott shouts in an exaggerated manner.

"Both of them are gripping each other with a strong grip, putting their fighting aura into their hands. In the aftermath, things are breaking.

"What's that?　I've never heard of shaking hands breaking things!"

Hearing Gaius' explanation, Anti is astonished.

"Mm!　That's quite a well-crafted fighting spirit!　Nice work!　Julius!"

"You're pretty good yourself, Kazuma."

We laugh at each other.

"Wow ...... that Kazuma, even though he was holding back, he was still able to fight against my brother's grip. What the ......?"

Kazuma looks at Gaius and raises his voice.

"You're the Royal Captain!　I'm Tenryu Kazuma!　Nice to meet you!"

"Uh, yeah, I just heard about ....... Nice to meet you."

Gaius withdrew his hand.

Well, I shook his hand earlier.

"Hey, Kazuma. Hey, kazuma, can I ask you something?

"Mm!　What the hell!"

You're not from this world, are you?

Gaius and the others turn their eyes at my question.

"What?　What are you talking about?

"What do you mean ...... that you're not from this world?"

"Well, I mean literally not from this world, but from another. Right?"

Kazuma laughs happily and says, "Hmmm... ......".

"Brilliant!　Well done!　You saw right through it!　You have a great eye!"

Kazuma says proudly with his chest puffed out.

"I am a [reincarnated person]!　To be more precise, I am from another world, a [otherworldly reincarnation]!"

I never thought I would reveal such an important fact here.

Are you confident that it won't be a problem even if you are found out, or are you thinking nothing of it?

"Another world?　Is there such a thing?

Kazuma nods broadly at the astonished Anti.

"Ah!　We are beings from another world who have been given power by the gods and have come to this world!

"Oh, I'm allowed to say that?"

"No!　I've been told from the top not to say anything!"

Gaius shrugged.

"Then why did you reveal it?　Are you stupid?"

"Because Mr. Julius has found out!　You can't hide it from me!"

Kazuma smiles as brightly as the summer sun.

"Julius!　I've been waiting for a fight with a strong man like you!"

Shove!　And he tapped me on the shoulder.

Then, whoosh!　A huge amount of magical power and fighting spirit blew out from him.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Again, the antagonist is sent flying into the corner of the room.

"Heeeeyyyy!　The ground is melting!　I didn't even use magic or anything!

Gaius was able to sit up, but his face was contorted in pain.

"What pressure ...... like a flame ...... hot ......!"

"Mm!　You look cool in this one!　After all, Mr. Julius!　You're brilliant!　It's the best!"

Thank you very much.

I'm gonna take my hand off.

Pow!

He shakes off the searing pressure that Kazuma exerts on him.

"That's great ...... that you were able to shake off that pressure ......, that's my brother ......."

Satisfied, Kazuma nods.

"You and your brother are both so wonderful!　I'm sure my teammates would be very happy to fight against strong guys like you!"

"Don't tell me the other four of you are also reincarnated from another world?"

"Sure!　They all have [cheat abilities given to them by the gods]!　We, the Holy Empire, will take this year's championship!"

As if challenging him, Kazuma says.

"That's impossible. We're going to win.

We grin at each other, and Kazuma and I fist-bump.

"So, that girl over there isn't human either, is she?"

I say to the schoolgirl in the red uniform.

"Why ...... do you think so,......?"

I said the words, and that was it.

"........................"

Thud. ......!　And the antagonist fell down.

"No, brother!　The antlers!　The antlers are dead!"

A bubbling antler was foaming at the mouth and dying.

"[Jugong], huh? You're using a classic curse, aren't you?"

"You know ...... well ......."

"Well, it was my job to take down people like [you], too. ......"

The woman smiles.

"What's your name?"

"[Dantalion] ...... and my name is ...... ......."

"Hmm. Dantalion. I'm Julius. Nice to meet you."

I hold out my hand to her.

She giggles and says .......

"Dear Julius ....... I've heard ...... about you."

We shake hands.

Jooooo ......!

"!　Brother!　My arm!　Your arm is melting!"

My right hand is melting into mush.

But he instantly regenerated it with magic.

"That's absurd!　Your brother always wears a barrier ......!　I can't believe you broke through your brother's defenses and attacked him!　How powerful a poison are you using!"

"Yeah, it's a poison, right?　The devil?"

"Oh, the devil?

This time, instead of Anti, Gaius looks astonished.

"It's common knowledge that Dantalion is one of the demons of Solomon, right?

"I don't know!　So my brother's common sense is not common sense!"

d*mn, d*mn ...... and Dantalion laughs.

"That's a great ....... Dear Julius ....... The devil's ...... poison. The moment you touch it, even your ...... soul will melt ...... instantly. You are ...... the best ...... alive."

"Thank you very much. But isn't it bad manners to put a curse on someone at least when you greet them?"

"I'm sorry ......, I'm sorry ......."

"Well, you just have to be careful."

"Mm!　Yes!"

The three of us laugh merrily.

Gaius and Anti, who had just gotten up, were looking at us with ...... blue faces.

"What's going on?　Last year's battle against the school was between normal human students!"

"Really!　What's going on this year!　Monsters, otherworldly reincarnations, and demons fighting each other!"

I don't know, but Anti and Gaius seemed to be getting along well.

"You've made a friend right away, little brother."

"Mm!　What a beautiful friendship!"

"I like ...... hot friendship ...... between men."

""Don't let the monsters get along with each other!"""

""""Monster?　Who?""""

You guys!"""You guys!"""

Thus ,

Royal Academy -> Gaius (human).

Imperial Academy to Anti (human).

Eastern Federation -> Dantalion (Demon).

Holy Empire→Kazuma (Otherworldly reincarnation).

These are the above 4 schools.

The captains of the members participating in this school competition had gathered.
