Chapter 272 - Devil army

Since it has been a while since I talk with Kara, the two of us talk about various things, especially about her daily routine as a teacher at the first ever school for commoner. As expected, even though she has gain confidence over the past few years, she still feels a little bit of anxious as she's only a few year older than her students. If you ask me, she's 18 years old now, and most of her students are around 10, some younger and some older. If anything, I should be the one who feels insecure, having to teach them magic

"Still, you're a court magician, so they should cone to respect you" [Kara]

"And you're the beloved teacher at this academy. What award was it again? Oh right, the best teacher award! Surely teaching is your calling" [Charlotte]

"True. I feel fulfill with my jobs" [Kara]

And before we know it, there is 5 minutes left before we each start our class, and as such, we quickly take the teaching materials and went in our separate way. As for me, I should go to the beginner class

Taking the 900am beginner magic class, some of the students are as old as I am, but the looks on their eye tells me everything. They're eager to learn and cast aside all their pride and worries just to improve their life. It is a big sacrifice, as the time they spend here can also be use for them to work, just so that they could put a bread on their plate, but persuasion from Principal Alice and Kara, as well as policy made by Sis Diana, they're more than willing to attend the school

As I take the chalk and start explaining the basic of magic, I can see that there are student jotting it down rather quickly, while some just try their best to concentrate as not to miss a single thing, and as usual, come my favourite part

"No. Chanting a spell aren't necessary. You don't said out loud every time you walk or breath right?" [Charlotte]

As expected, their jaw dropped to the floor. This is our first reaction when Brother Ash taught us six years back, and it has become my favourite catchphrase when teaching someone magic.

"Is that how you become the youngest court magician?"

"Partially yes, but also through rigorous training. Lots and lots of training are required" [Charlotte]

"But you have the blessing of ten heroes and the Blessing of Holy Beast of Water, Ice Dragon Reshir as well. Talk about luck"

"True, I won't deny it. But that also means that I should sacrifice my life should the fallen god awaken, did you want to get the same fate?" [Charlotte]

"..."

"Now, let us move to next topic, since we are already talking about the fallen god" [Charlotte]

That actually makes me sad a bit, but then again, Grandpa Filvisar survives the ordeal one hundred years ago, and as such, I believe the ten of us along with Lara and Nara will also survive, hopefully defeating the fallen god once and for all and bring peace to Achalasia

Coming back into the topic of fallen god and devil, for once, the fact that the fallen god is actually the God of Life and other relevant facts are being spread and recorded, in case we couldn't defeat it properly, that way the next generation of ten heroes will have much easier time, though I suppose the fallen god will do everything in its power to wipe that record out

"Is the demon actually the devil?"

"NO! A BIG NO! Spread that nonsense and you'll get a free jail time" [Charlotte]

Even though six years have passed since the incident known as the beginning of devil invasion, false rumour like this keep on spreading. It wasn't requested by Kara, but I guess I should touch upon that topic before ending the lecture, for now, I will explain to them regarding the devil

Devil =/= Demon. They're just the follower of the fallen god, and majority of those followers just happen to be people from the demon clan

"So does that mean a human can also become a devil?"

"Yes. The famous S rank adventure, The blade of wind Samurai Jacks as well as A rank adventure, Dark fire samurai Rean have reported to us that they actually fought an army of human devil not too long ago, alongside soldier from Malsia" [Charlotte]

"Ohh! I'm from Malsia. They're famous for helping us out back then!'

"Is there a rank among them? I mean rank of strength, or are there any captains among the devil?"

"Well, rank wise, we are still unsure about it, but strength wise. Yes, they're much stronger than your average usual person, with different appearance and anatomy as well. Even the monster will be significantly stronger, for example..." [Charlotte]

Let take the example of human devil invasion into Malsia not too long ago. Rean alongside Samurai Jacks, Naoto, Kana and Birdie with other soldiers and adventure fought with various form of human. There are human devil with multiple arms, some with spider like eyes and some with tails. They're also strong, stronger than average human at least, and among them, there is an elite soldier that gave Naoto a run for her money. She's still an A rank adventure, but her strength isn't something to make fun of. She managed to defeat it with Rean's help, plus

"Different type of magic?"

"Yes? Their magic are different from us. Apart from using the standard magic, they can also use what they call miasma magic. We are still analyzing it, so once we are done, maybe I'll give a talk about it" [Charlotte]

Take the icy devil that I fought yesterday. Sure, it can use ice magic as its name implies, but it can also use miasma magic. Think black miasma capable all three offense, defense and support. It is theorized that it was a gift by the fallen god for her follower

Continuing the class, various questions are asked, especially about the devil, and as such, with 20 minutes before ending the class

"How about I tell you about the incident known as the beginning of devil invasion" [Charlotte]
