151 - - The President of the School Is Bad

Julius, the reincarnated hero, is about to challenge a battle against the school.

Meanwhile, the principal of the Holy Empire [Maxwell] was in the VI! seat.

This is a special seat reserved for the principals of each school to watch over their students.

No one is allowed to enter this room without the permission of the principal of each school who is a spectator.

"Kukuku ...... will be here soon. Soon we will have the Holy Grail ......!"

The Holy Grail. It is a magic item that holds enormous energy.

The winning school in the tournament will be awarded the right to possess the chalice.

Julius and his friends are taking part in the school competition to make sure that the chalice does not fall into the wrong hands.

"Once we have that energy, it will be easy for our country to conquer the world. ...... Kuh, ha ha ha!

So is ...... to protect against those who, like Maxwell, misuse the Holy Grail.

The student representatives of the Imperial Kingdom, including Kazuma, are all transplants from other worlds.

They all have powerful and unmatched cheat abilities.

We thought it would be a piece of cake to kick the crap out of the other schools and win the tournament. .......

They were up against Dantalion and his demons, Anti, the son of the emperor, who showed unexpected luck, and above all, .......

The members of the Royal Academy, who are ridiculously strong.

In particular, the appearance of that ...... student Julius von Carlisle, a student with strength of another dimension, has thrown a wrench into the plan.

That's not the only irregularity.

Kazuma was a good man, though he was a fierce and peerless fighter.

Because of this, she did not take to Maxwell's plan, a bad guy, at every turn.

Kazuma was the strongest pawn, but he was not something Maxwell could manipulate.

That's why he put the ...... curse on her.

The curse of death.

A curse that would kill the target if he or she disobeyed its commands.

"We should have done this from the beginning!　d*mn ...... now the Holy Grail is in my hands ......!"

And then...

"Well, well, well. You're in a good mood, aren't you, Principal Maxwell?

Before I knew it, there was a strangely dressed man standing in the room.

A white suit and a silk hat.

A man who looks like he's always making fun of people. .......

"Ru, Lucifer, the Dean of the school. ......"

The head of the Royal Academy and one of the organizers of this battle.

Lucifer.

"What are you doing here?　I'm the only one who can enter ......!"

"Good grief, did you forget who the organizer is?"

I don't know what I did.

But it's bad ...... and Maxwell breaks out in a cold sweat inside.

"Did something interesting happen earlier?"

"Oh, no, ......."

How far were they listening to you?

In some cases, ...... we'll take care of it right here and now. .......

"You'd be wise not to do that, wouldn't you?"

?

Lucifer, who had just been right in front of me, was gone.

He was sitting on the sofa by the window, drinking coffee with his legs crossed.

When did he move?

When did you make the coffee?

I don't know ...... why, but they must have used some special method that we don't know about.

"Let me tell you something good. Do you know the basic premise of the school-to-work competition?"

"...... students must not kill or injure other students."

That's right. I'm surprised you remembered that.

But," says Lucifer with a wry smile.

"It doesn't say anywhere in the rules that teachers mustn't kill or injure other students, does it?"

"Well, is that ......, or ......?"

"Your actions are not against the rules. Good for you.

Snap ...... and Lucifer claps his hands.

But I was not at all relieved.

"...... what are you thinking?"

Lucifer is the organizer of the tournament.

There is no way he would allow such a thing to threaten the lives of the students participating in the tournament.

And yet, he talks as if he is urging us to commit murder.

It is natural to assume that there is a purpose .......

"I don't trust you. Well, I don't care.

Before I knew it, Lucifer was gone again.

He puts his hand on Maxwell's shoulder.

What?　Well, what are you ...... doing again?

"Nothing. Don't be so scared. It makes me sad.

I couldn't help but feel ...... creeped out by this man who was not at all tragic, but rather constantly smiling in an amused way.

"Well, I can get through most things as long as they don't break the rules, no matter what you do.

"...... even if they were scaring the students?"

"I don't deviate from the rules."

From Lucifer's words and actions, Maxwell tries to get inside his mind.

He comes to ...... one conclusion.

"I see,...... you want Julius of the Royal Academy to disappear, don't you?"

That's all I can think.

With that monster in the school, even this man will have a hard time doing his evil deeds.

He allowed ...... to make Kazuma, who really wants to get rid of Julius, who is an obstacle.

I conclude that this must be so.

"Well, it's up to you how you interpret it. But you shouldn't underestimate Julius, the ...... child of prophecy, should you?"

"The child of prophecy ......? Do you believe in that kind of brow-splitting?"

There is one famous prophecy in this world.

It is 2000 years after the death of the Demon Lord, the destroyer of worlds will appear. And a savior will also come to save the world.

Julius, the Carlisle boy, is believed to be the child signified by this prophecy. .......

But as Maxwell says, the prophecy lacks specificity.

There are also many who do not believe.

"Let me assure you," says Maxwell. Julius, the child of prophecy, is the ...... destroyer."

"Destroyers." ......?　Not the Messiah?"

"Yes. Julius is a ...... extraordinary being who destroys all the common sense of this world. He will surely destroy ...... all your naughty plans and ambitions."

Lucifer's eyes never waver, as if he is sure of something.

Julius von Carlisle.

The destroyer marked by prophecy.

"What can a little boy like him do!　The Curse of Obedience that I have cast is a powerful curse that not even a magician can break!　What the hell can a kid like that do? ......!"

As Maxwell raises his voice, Lucifer laughs in a truly amused manner.

"What's so funny?

"No, ...... not really. I just think it's unusual that you haven't lost your will to fight after witnessing his extraordinary power.

With a snap, Maxwell roughly brushes the dean's hand away.

Lucifer puts his silk hat back on.

"Don't underestimate him. I warned you. Now go to ......."

Lucifer vanishes without a sound.

Maxwell is the only one left, and he says to himself

"Don't worry ...... the curse of obedience will never be broken. Kazuma and the others will surely kill Julius and the others ....... My pawns will ...... kill them."

If Julius and his team win the next match, it will be if Kazuma and his team defy the order in some way.

But the curse makes it impossible for them to disobey, ...... and Maxwell has a [secret move].

"As long as I have this, Kazuma and the others can never disobey me. Even if there is no curse. ......　The chalice is mine!"

...... but he doesn't know.

He does not know the true horror of Julius von Carlisle, the destroyer of worlds.
