The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V1 Chapter 25 Hero Candidates
The eldest son of the House of Stagius Baron, Cain Stagius looked at the young man on stage. Adventurers were introduced as Shion and are currently famous in the royal capital.
It seemed that he was someone who was known even among the students and new guests who were queuing up, as the meeting room was filled with commotion along with his entrance on the stage.
Seeing that from the view of ordinary students who aspired to become Adventurers, he was really just as they aspired to be. However, when it came to the sons and daughters of nobles, there were some rather complicated feelings.
Some of them thought of him as an ordinary person who was taken for granted, while others thought that he would become a noble shortly because of the fate of a noble like Hero Ryuuya.
After all, there was no one in this school of Edius Adventurer who did not know Shion. Famous adventurers were aspirational targets, and shops began selling Shion's portraits.
Coincidentally, Shion himself had figured it out and had run out of sense, and Zweita secretly bought it.
“Shion, yes ....”.
For Cain himself, this was the first time he had seen Shion. However, just by looking at it, he could tell that he was an extremely powerful Adventurer.
“Hei, Fabric. Who do you think is stronger between that person and Mr Basil?”
The one who said that and stabbed Cain with an elbow was his childhood friend Sharon. Pure curiosity appeared on the face of the girl who asked that while swinging her dark blue hair.
The so-called Basil was the grandfather of Cain, also the teacher of the sword of Cain. Basil's Sword, it is part of the St. Knight Order's St. Style. Altlis, and is called the hard sword of the orthodox school.
“If this is a sword contest, then Grandpa is obviously stronger.”
“H ~ n.”
Without noticing that Kain said that after limiting his condition, Sharon nodded.
That's right, if it was a sword fight, it would definitely be true. However, Shion was a Witch, and to actually bring him into close combat would be extremely difficult.
He had to slash it before he put up the Attack Guard.
If someone did that, they would probably win. But that's what people will think.
For example, if one were to really fight against Shion, the young lady waiting behind him would definitely get in the way.
Since the girl's weapon was on hold now, she couldn't figure out what her fighting style was, but there was no mistake that she was a Maid Knight who had high fighting strength.
However, Cain erased that thought. It was because he thought that even if it could get closer to Shion it would be very difficult to finish from the start.
“...... Well, there's no way we're fighting that guy.”
“I think that's true too. If anything, we will stand shoulder to shoulder with him.”
“Make sure we don't skip class.”
While talking like that, Kain stared at the group Shion left the stage.
“Thank you so much for today! Ma ~ n, You really saved us .....”
“No, it doesn't matter. More importantly, about the archive.”
“Ya, yes! I'll guide to the library!”
Shion and Zweita followed after the staff member who was in his best mood today.
“Good atmosphere ....”
As Shion walked over with a sigh, Zweita pulled the tip of her robe.
“Well, that's how society is here.”
The hostile views were undoubtedly from some nobles. The territory of mankind has the face of such social status absolutism.
He would not say that the Black Continent did not have such a face, but, with the exception of the Demon King, there was a place where one could make ends meet through a complete merit system.
By the time Shion founded the Four Cardinal Generals, and by how he did not subtly establish social positions other than them, he feared the ill-effects of the principles of such social positions.
If such a thing was allowed, there was no doubt that things would turn into a situation similar to how the western region of the Black Continent used to be.
A hero was certainly not something so easy that he could win only in such a situation. As long as Varvatos was a Demon King, he couldn't possibly forget the matter of Heroes.
It is because of this that he moves so that an opportunity for the Hero to come attacking will not be created, but he also needs to make preparations to be able to repel him if he comes.
It was because he had no intention of perishing because of the Hero.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. This is the library our school is proud of.”
The staff-guided library is a large stone building that exists relatively close to the school center.
The front door opened, and people who looked like guards stood on each side.
“For now, I will hand this guest card to you. Later, we will send someone to you for formal talks.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Handing over the card that was sparkling a faded bronze color, the staff member left.
While looking at what was in Shion's hands, Zweita muttered.
"……For now? Official?”
“It might be something they want to leave behind so they will be able to use us from now on.”
Carrying Zweita with [Fuun] and nodding with disinterested look, Shion entered the library.
Maybe because of the conversation earlier, the guards checked the cards in Shion's hand and opened the way.
As they passed through the entrance like that, the scent of library-typical books hung in the air.
To Shion, it was somehow nostalgic, and a soothing scent.
“...... So much paper.”
"That's a book. That's because it's not there.”
Inside the library, it was filled with bookshelves filled with books.
In the middle of the first floor, there were tables and chairs, and in the end, there was a table where the library staff members were located, and on the second and third floors that could be seen from the atrium, large collections of books can also be seen on them.
He had no idea how many books here would help him achieve his goal. However, Shion thought that he would be able to spend time here quite pleasantly.
“...... Zweita, kinda bored.”
The words of Zweita, who had already lost interest, were something she decided to pretend that she had not heard for a while.
That was because from this moment on, for a while, it was Shion's highest happiness time.
