Chapter 459: The magic tournament begins
At this moment, the seats in the stadium were full.
Many students were seated with gazes filled with anticipation.
The main event they were waiting for was finally about to begin.
After returning from his date and managing to get some positive points, Eiji had returned to the VIP seats.
However, unlike before where it was just him and Master Liber. Now there was also Master Biblia, Selina and Abyss Trinity who was in his spirit form. Eiji was not at all surprised to see his father-in-law, because in the original work the man was also watching this match.
Although Abyss Trinity looked alive, Eiji knew he was no longer the Magic King. He was just an independent form of Caina, the Magic King weapon.
Lilith must have broken the seal and talked to the man. After being slapped many times by Akio's Conception spell, he was no longer a bad guy— his personality had changed to the point that he kindly greeted him when he arrived.
"Eiji, you finally came. Hurry up and sit next to your father-in-law. Lilith is going to compete, we have to cheer for her!"
"Okay but I'll sit at..."
Under the gaze of Abyss Trinity, Master Biblia and Selina who were silent.
Eiji walked to Master Liber's side and sat beside her. Why did he have to sit next to a man when he could sit next to a beautiful woman?
"Miss Liber, I'm back. Did you miss me?"
Master Liber who was suddenly teased by a man much younger than her could not help but smile amusedly.
"Not really."
"Is that so? What a pity."
Eiji shook his head. He did not forget to greet Selina who was sitting on the other side of Master Liber.
"Selina, you're here too."
"Un, Eiji-san. I'm the host and commentator of this event. You and the principal are the additional commentators, by the way."
Selina excitedly said to her older sister's boyfriend.
Eiji nodded but...
[Why did I just find out I was made a commentator?]
You didn't know?
The heroines found it funny.
Eiji didn't know but he could guess that this must be an arrangement made by Master Biblia.
That four-eyed man...
While he was complaining a little, he didn't mind throwing in a few words during the game.
At this moment, Selina stood up from the chair and said through the microphone in her hand.
[The event we've been waiting for has finally arrived! I'm the host and commentator, Selina Sherlock.]
[Sitting with me is the principal of Royal Biblia Academy and the Demon Lord from another world, Eiji Seiya who will be the additional commentator!]
Hearing what Selina said, the students in the audience clapped. Considerable applause could be heard from every corner of the stadium.
They recognized the principal of Biblia Academy, Master Biblia who was said to be a Paladin level mage.
In fact all the principals of the Three Great Magic Academies were at the Paladin level which was a high level in the eyes of ordinary mages.
However, except for the students of Biblia Academy. The students of Akasha Academy were completely unfamiliar with the so-called Demon Lord from another world, Eiji Seiya.
Looking in the direction Selina pointed. He was a person who looked young and about the same age as them. It was a boy whose appearance could be considered very handsome!
Just like Royal Biblia Academy which is an all-girls school. Royal Akasha Academy was also actually an all-girls school. So all the students watching the match were girls who were now blushing.
Many of them were looking at Eiji with nymphomania gazes.
It was no exaggeration to say that Eiji was the most handsome man they had ever seen.
Whispers began to be heard in the stadium. Such as "Kyaa! Does he have a girlfriend?", "I want to date him!", "Seiya-kun is more handsome than that Magic King Candidate... What's that boy's name? Ah I forgot.", "Demon Lord from another world? At first I thought he would look scary but... isn't he too handsome?" and other comments that basically praised him.
Unlike other protagonists out there whose appearance would be doubted and underestimated by people who didn't know him.
Eiji didn't have to go through that routine and was instantly liked because of his appearance.
Eiji was certainly aware of the many female gazes that were staring at him with fiery gazes and many of them were in love with him.
He sighed.
Master Liber who was sitting next to Eiji thought he was upset, but she misunderstood because his inner voice was the opposite of the expression he was showing.
[Being a commentator turned out to be quite fun. I like the fiery stares those girls give me when they see my good looks.]
He's so narcissistic!
No, that's a fact. But if she couldn't hear Eiji's inner voice, Master Liber knew she would definitely be fooled by his facial expressions.
Not only strong, she realized that Eiji also had good acting talent. And with his looks, he could be a movie actor or model.
That boy could make a lot of money just by showing off his body. Ahem! Master Liber wondered what she was thinking? Seeing Eiji's face this close, she couldn't help but have some dirty thoughts.
She quickly dismissed those thoughts and was ashamed of herself. Why would she think that?!
It seemed like being single for too long had made her so hungry. Master Liber was getting tempted to eat the younger grass.
Eiji would be happy if he found out what she was thinking.
[Alright principal! Let's tell the schedule of today's events!]
Selina said to the principal according to the script.
Master Biblia held his own microphone before saying something perverted without shame.
[Well, the schedule is going to be a lot of fun. In this event there are beautiful girls who will fight where we can see a lot of replays and boing-boing. In short, Oppai.]
*Slap!*
Master Biblia's head collapsed on the table and had a lump on it.
Selina had just hit the man's head using a folding fan that seemed to be made of a fairly hard material.
"...." Master Liber.
"...." Abyss Trinity.
"...." Eiji whistled. Just like Lilith, Selina also apparently dared to do violence to her principal.
Wait, he remembered this scene was also in the original work. Although he was sure because of Master Biblia's excessive lewd comments, Selina slapped the man's head harder.
Ignoring her principal who almost ruined the good image of their school with his lewd comments, Selina pretended to cough.
[Ahem. What the principal of Royal Biblia Academy means is that the competition will be more intense than we imagined before. Especially since the participants in this event are not only from the Three Great Magic Academies.]
She glanced at Eiji with a smile.
The students who were watching were confused. They wondered if there were other magic schools?
[In this event, there are also students from Kuoh Academy who will be participating! This is the school from another world where Eiji-san is from. Those girls are no less powerful than the Trinity Seven and even the Magic King Candidates! So prepare yourselves!]
Kuoh Academy?
All the students of Royal Akasha Academy were hearing the name of this school for the first time. If it was any other magic school that didn't include the Three Great Magic Academies, many of them would be dismissive. But since it was a school from the same other world as Eiji— they were very curious.
Many of them exclaimed in admiration as if they were licking Eiji.
The girls from Akasha Academy were cute.
Eiji thought that before hearing Selina ask him.
[Eiji-san, is there anything you want to add?]
[Me? I'm worried that the girls will overheat from watching the match in the middle of the day. So... I'll make you guys feel more comfortable.]
Holding the microphone in one hand, he snapped his fingers with his other hand.
Instantly, the clouds in the sky gathered over the stadium as if pulled by a power and blocked out the sunlight. The environment became rather dark but the students watching felt that this weather was better than before!
They no longer sweated from the heat and even felt the coolness of the breeze.
They felt like they were sitting in an air-conditioned room and of course looked at Eiji with admiration.
What was that? Just by snapping his fingers, Eiji could change the weather!
Was this the power of a Demon Lord from another world?
Amazing.
Although it didn't look strong in terms of destructive power— this kind of ability was very convenient.
Master Liber couldn't help but glance at Eiji. It was such a subtle mastery of magic that she almost didn't notice if she didn't see the boy snap his fingers.
She wondered what else Eiji could do?
As for Abyss Trinity and the others? Those who already knew how strong Eiji was in battle were not so surprised. Actually some of them could do similar things but it wasn't as easy as Eiji snapping his fingers.
What they used too was actually an offensive spell that affected the weather.
It was different from Eiji who actually just didn't do anything special. He was just manipulating the wind in the sky with magic without casting.
With the power of Varvatos and Anos. There was no way he couldn't do such a small thing.
The students in the audience seats once again exclaimed and praised Eiji. In a short period of time, even before the match started, he had already made many girls from the two schools fall in love with him just like Mira had feared.
Eiji really did it! Wasn't he just joking earlier? Why does he seem serious now?!
[Wow that's amazing! As expected from Eiji-san!]
[But enough of these annoying formalities. Let's skip the opening ceremony and go straight to the first match!]
Selina shouted excitedly. At this moment, the large screen attached to the stadium wall displayed images of the participants that seemed to take turns.
Then, the four images stopped and the people who would be fighting were....
Selina read it out for everyone.
[The participants who will fight in the first match are the representatives of Biblia Academy and Kuoh Academy!]
[From Biblia Academy's side are the Magic King Candidate and one of the Trinity Seven, Arata Kasuga and Arin Kannazuki!]
[While from the Kuoh Academy's side? It's the Demon Princess and the Sacred Sword User, Mio Naruse and Xenovia Quarta!]
...
Above the arena.
Separated by a distance of 30 meters, the two teams mentioned by Selina had stood facing each other.
Although it was not mentioned because there was no one to explain, the students watching knew this battle would be 2 vs 2.
This was interesting, especially when their gazes were more fixed on Mio and Xenovia who they were seeing for the first time.
Both girls were very beautiful.
One of them had long red hair and breasts so big that Master Biblia had a nosebleed. The man tried to hold back his lascivious gaze because he was afraid Eiji would get angry.
Abyss Trinity looked at Mio strangely because his hair color resembled his daughter. That girl intrigued him.
However, the other girl with short blue hair and a hot figure also attracted the attention of the audience.
"Xenovia, who do you want to fight? I think you'd better fight Arin who is also wearing a melee weapon." Mio said with her eyes fixed on the spear in Arin's hand.
Xenovia pouted. "No, I want to beat up the prot- I mean the annoying Magic King Candidate."
She almost called Arata the protagonist which made Mio glare at her.
It was fine if Arata and the others heard it but what if Eiji? It wasn't that they wanted to keep it a secret but there was a rule that they couldn't tell Eiji that they could hear his inner voice.
Xenovia smiled wryly and said, "Alright, I'll fight Arin. Actually, whoever between them won't make much difference."
"That's right."
The conversation was like a whisper between them. But mages like Arata and Arin were able to hear it a little.
The girls were basically looking down on them.
{Arrogant! I know Eiji's girls are not weak but we, especially me have become stronger lately. Even if they are so beautiful and sexy that I envy Eiji. I will defeat them to make Ana and the others fall in love with me!}
"Girls, sorry. But I won't hold back from defeating you."
Arata said confidently. His voice was heard by the audience, especially Mio and Xenovia.
However, the girls in question were looking at Arata with disdain. Not only because of what he said from his mouth, but also his inner voice
Arin also frowned. While she was also annoyed at being belittled by Mio and Xenovia, she was also a little uncomfortable with what Arata said in his inner voice.
Of course, she did not show it on her emotionless face. With her magic spear, Gae Bulg's Death Spear in her hand. The Chaotic Rune shone under her feet
"Limit Release."
Instantly, the spear's appearance changed slightly and became longer with an extremely sharp-looking tip.
[Ohh! Look at what Arin-san did! She seems to have gotten serious right away!]
[Her magic spear has now turned into Gungir's God-King Spear. This is one of the anti-Magic King weapons! This spear is famous for its power to cancel magic and its terrifying destructive power!]
Selina's comment made many audience members exclaim.
They were naturally optimistic about Arin whose figure was now galloping towards Xenovia.
At this moment, Xenovia had just taken Durandal out of the dimensional rift. As if teleporting, the figure of Arin who was swinging her spear had suddenly appeared behind her.
"Got you." Arin said with confidence that her attack would succeed in her voice.
Eiji who saw this scene in slow motion from his vantage point didn't look worried at all.
[Unfortunately Arin was still too naive. Such speed was far from enough to surpass the Xenovia swordsman's perception. Moreover, she foolishly made a sound when attacking from behind!]
Eiji's inner voice comment made the heroines who didn't yet know how inhuman Xenovia was wonder.
Really?
*Clang!*
The next scene left the audience dumbfounded because Xenovia who they thought would be hit by Arin's attack and injured by it, she actually managed to block the attack with the sword she pulled from the void.
Put aside Durandal's appearance which was dark blue with a golden stripe on the corner of the blade.
Xenovia did not even glance back, she simply positioned her greatsword with one hand behind her neck. She did so at an extremely abnormal speed.
When Durandal and God-King Spear Gungir collided. The floor and the air around it exploded.
Even so, the one who was thrown away was Arin. The girl rolled on the floor and knelt down with blood at the corner of her mouth.
As for Xenovia? Her body did not move at all as if the explosion had not been able to push her an inch.
Xenovia finally turned her head back and looked at Arin indifferently.
"That's it? Selina said you were serious but you were joking, right?"
"...."

Author note
Sorry this Chapter is shorter than usual and you might be a little uncomfortable with the bold black font whenever people speak using the microphone in this arc. The plot is also getting slower because I can't just wrap up every plot in one or two Chapters. Honestly it's due to lack of ideas, writing style and time writing my daily Chapters.
