Chapter 251: (2): Story of Arifureta

(3rd person perspective)

In a world where magic and dragons were real, a group of heroes were summoned to save humanity from the cruelty of demons.

At least that was a general idea that even the demons believed, but the truth was very different.

To begin with, the supposed God of Demons was actually a subordinate of the God who protected humans, Ehit.

The doctrines of racism and human supremacy promoted by the church were nothing more than the jokes of Ehit and his subordinates since the supposed gods were amused by the suffering of mortals, especially the suffering of non-human races.

The war between humans and demons was not a conflict between races but a game of the gods, the whole world was a fun game of chess that the gods used to kill time.

That was the cruel truth of this world, a place where heroes and villains were mere disposable toys.

In such a world there was a group of heroes from another world who traveled peacefully without getting involved in the war between humans and demons.

Professor Aiko Hatayama and the group of pacifist students were visiting the Lake City of Ur.

This city was close to the North Mountain Range so there were many monsters around. Still, the Adventurers Guild could keep them away from the urban area making the city a prosperous trade since essential agricultural items were produced there.

Aiko had become famous as the Goddess of Fertility as her skills had helped to lessen the famine generated by the war causing most humans to worship her as the incarnation of a benevolent goddess.

Aiko was not comfortable with all that attention since she only wanted to protect her students, what caused her the most discomfort and concern was that several students were depressed due to the disappearance of a student, Luis Oosuki.

At first, Aiko was not very satisfied with that student since he was an aggressive, rude boy and according to the rumors, a perverted degenerate. The latter was technically true since the boy showed himself to be a womanizer who did not care about social rules or laws on monogamy.

Aiko had several discussions with the boy to help him get his life back on track, but it was obvious that the boy was not going to change.

Despite everything, Aiko had started to grow fond of the boy as he showed perseverance in his desire to protect the students in order to return to Earth (Gaia).

Although Luis did not get along with most of the students and even constantly hit most of his classmates, he only responded to provocations and generally stayed out of trouble.

Even when the knights and nobility despised him for his 'Chef' job, he never stopped trying hard in training and in a short time became the strongest student managing to surpass the heroes with combat-focused skills.

It was obvious that Luis did not want to get involved in the war nor was he willing to endanger innocent people which ironically caused other students to criticize him for being selfish and heartless.

Aiko actually supported Luis's thinking, but in the end, the most influential students still chose to join the war.

Luis also got involved in that mess as it was only after the war was over that the heroes could return home, something that surprised Aiko as Luis might have a bad attitude, but at least he was a man who would not hesitate to fight to protect his friends and family.

Perhaps that was how Aiko began to develop strange feelings towards Luis, especially since it was difficult to see Luis as a teenager since he often showed more maturity than other adults.

Luis could fight, cook, took care of students who didn't want to fight, stopped the strong from bullying the weak, and there were even rumors that he beat up a knight who wanted to take advantage of a vulnerable girl. In general, Luis was a violent boy who used violence to protect the weak.

Sadly this world showed a cruel reality, heroes are not invincible.

During an incursion into the dungeon an accident occurred that caused Luis to disappear, although, considering the place where he disappeared, it would be better to say that it was his death.

Some students were devastated by the news, Aiko herself had cried for two days not knowing if it was the pain of losing a student or something else.

On the other hand, most of the students celebrated this since Luis was seen as the scum of the group.

This caused more divisions among the students as there were suspicions that Luis's disappearance was not just an accident but a planned assassination attempt.

In the end, Aiko chose to continue traveling as her heart couldn't bear to see her depressed students, plus the atmosphere in the castle was suffocating as a certain queen and princess were also severely affected by this news.

Aiko was still depressed, but she tried hard to keep a friendly and optimistic expression so as not to discourage her students.

To distract herself a bit, she took her students to one of the best restaurants in the town.

"Miss Aiko, please take a seat" – A handsome knight in shining armor moved the seat so that Aiko could sit down.

Aiko was very uncomfortable with the behavior of the knights who escorted her because since their intentions had become obvious, they tried to seduce her.

She didn't realize this on her own, but overhearing casual comments from her students made her realize the truth.

Aiko didn't know how to refuse the constant flirting of the knights, luckily she had her beloved students.

"Sit here sensei" – A beautiful green-haired girl sat down and pointed to a seat next to her.

Aiko smiled kindly and sat down next to the girl. – "Thank you Shion"

The girl smiled as she subtly gestured for another green-haired girl to sit on the other side of the teacher, preventing the knights from getting too close.

"Sensei! Let's order seafood!" – A cheerful girl with brown hair caught Aiko's attention, preventing the gentlemen from talking to the teacher.

The knights could only sigh since those girls did this all the time and since they were also heroes, the knights couldn't criticize them.

"Calling me a perverted woman and then reducing me to a mere thing... ah, ah... the master has no mercy..." - The woman began to pant.

Marika Tachibana looked at the woman in disgust just like the other students.

Although the woman was an absolute beauty with large breasts and black hair, her behavior was disturbing.

The woman was Tio Klarus, the princess of the Dragonmen race, a powerful race that opposed the cruel gods that ruled this fantasy world.

Luis sighed. – "Let's talk inside, it is uncomfortable to be in the corridor"

Both the students and the non-human women were curious about the identity of the other group so they accepted this, although there was a group of people who had a different point of view.

"Why isn't such a nasty creature wearing a slave collar?" - One of the knights pointed at the rabbit girl, Shea Haulia.

"Huh?" – Shea was confused, but she remembered the discrimination against demihumans.

In the city of Ur this discrimination is less noticeable since people are too busy working to care about that kind of nonsense, plus Shea hadn't heard racist comments in a long time since annoying people used to pass out while having convulsions before they can speak.

Another knight glared at the girl in Shea's arms. – "Tch, maybe if we cut off the disgusting non-human parts they will be a little more decent"

Myu had heard all kinds of insults when she was kidnapped so at her young age she could understand the cruelties of racism, however, she was not worried.

Shea and Myu just smiled wryly.

"Hey Listen! You are fucked, bitches!"

"What is that thing? ...." – The knight could not finish speaking as he fell to the ground with an expression of surprise. - "What's happening?! Why can't I move?!"

The other knight also fell to the ground without understanding what was happening.

The other knights and students watched in shock and disgust as the two knights turned into grotesquely flailing boneless masses of flesh, the most horrifying thing is that both men were alive and didn't seem to be in pain, but this only increased the psychological damage.

"This is a nuisance" – Luis sighed.

"I thought master would be crueler" – Tio showed disappointment.

Louis rolled his eyes. – "I don't want Myu to see something violent, children should learn the importance of kindness"

The students looked at the two masses of meat and wondered if this was kindness or a body horror movie.

Among the students, only Seishirou and Marika's bodyguard managed to see what Luis did.

Honda, Marika's bodyguard, felt a chill.

What Luis did was not a supernatural skill or magic, it was a mixture of chiropractic, acupuncture, and other medical techniques of dubious origin.

Luis used four quick blows to turn the bones into jelly without damaging the internal organs or the nervous system.

That wasn't something that could be repaired with magic as it wasn't technically an injury, only powerful healing, time manipulation, or body manipulation skills could fix this kind of attack.

An attack designed to avoid healing skills or strong defenses.

Honda thought the medicine provided by Luis to help Marika came from the Ichijo family, but now she was certain that Luis's medical abilities were abnormal, rather, monstrous...

"Well, let's talk" - Luis sighed and went to the table where the students were.

"Wait you bastard!" – The remaining knights finally reacted and were about to draw their swords, but an intense killing glare made them unable to move or breathe.

"Don't you dare offend my master" – Tio stared at the knights until her legs began to tremble.

"Tio, enough, you will give Myu a bad example" - Luis smirked.

Tio calmed down and pouted in dissatisfaction. – "The master is a worse example than me, my only wish is to destroy those who have insulted my respectable master"

"You just want to be rewarded" - The vampire girl snorted contemptuously.

"I don't deny it" – Tio nodded. – "Whether it is a reward or a punishment is fine, everything that comes from the master is pleasant... ah..."

Seishirou really wondered how Luis always got involved with strange women.
