Chapter 70.2
Judging by the events of the tournament that masked man was not the leader either.
Another subordinate of Avos Dillheavia?
“Let me ask about something else Melheys. Do you know anything about the hero academy?”
Melheys’ expression changed.
“…….Has something happened?”
“I’m going on an academy exchange. It happened very quickly and it’s more than a little suspicious.”
“I don’t know if the hero academy is under the patronage of Avos Dillheavia or not but I found no traces of Mazoku involvement when I investigated it.”
Melheys voice turned heavy
“Despite that please be careful around them. Since they were once our mortal enemies I investigated the royal capital of Gairadeite. The humans have certainly become peaceful and have had hardly any wars over the years, however, Gairadeite spends 10% of Azeshions entire tax revenue on the hero academy.”
10% of your entire tax revenue on one institution? That’s an extraordinary feat.
“What was the hero academy made to do?”
“Officially its to train heroes in the use of magic and weapons as well as to give them a high standard of education. After they graduate they show the fruits of their labour by contributing to the growth of the whole of Azeshion.”
Sounds like they take up similar roles to the demon emperors here in Deiruheido.
“It smelt suspicious to me though. In the school, there’s an elite class called [Jergakanon] and they are the ones that get a considerable amount of the budget. The thing is when I tried to investigate them I couldn’t find anything.”
Fumu. Jergakanon? It could simply be they took the name of two legendary heroes though.
“A hero is someone who fights in great wars. Unlike the demon king who influences the mazoku, a hero is not needed in peaceful times. Of course, that’s not to say that you can’t use the power of a hero to further your countries development in peacetime……”
“In other words, you don’t believe its a normal academy?”
Melheys nods.
“Jergakanon appears to be the class where reincarnated heroes go. Even if it’s got nothing to do with Avos Dillheavia you should still be cautious.”
The humans are plotting something then.
Due to them being inferior in magic humans plans are usually far more insidious and nasty than any plan a mazoku comes up with.
“Humans live short lives. The only reason the humans can have to be hostile to the mazoku 2000 years later is because the reincarnated heroes are trapped in past grudges.” (A)
Even though I say that, when I created the wall I settled things with Kanon and that guy would definitely not leave any grudges for future generations to have against the mazoku.
I don’t remember any other heroes that I believe could reincarnate with their old memories fully intact though.
“I don’t know the answer but it possible someone reincarnated from 2000 years ago with their memories fully intact. Like you say my lord, humans lead short lives so if they have reincarnated with their 2000-year-old memories intact that means they have successfully reincarnated many times before to get to this point.” (M)
It depends on the situation but generally speaking Reincarnation <Silica> depends on the users magic and lifespan. Humans reincarnate relatively quickly but for a mazoku, it’s not uncommon for it to take 2000 years like me.
“Deruzogedo has had limited interaction with Gairadeite and the Hero academy for quite some time now and the humans don’t appear to have any hostility towards the mazoku though.” (M)
Well if you are going to start a war you aren’t going to declare it before you are ready.
“Fumu. Then I’ll search the academy while I’m there. It’s highly unlikely they will believe that the demon king of tyranny will be there on an academy exchange.”
“Understood.”
“Keep a close eye on the movement of the 7 elder demon emperors here in Deiruheido. If anything happens let me know immediately and I’ll return right away.”
“Certainly.”
I head back on down the tower.
A selection class called [Jergakanon]. If it’s for reincarnated heroes then even if he doesn’t have any memories I want to meet the hero Kanon if he’s there.
