The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Chapter 49.1



Kurt looks at my sword with a cold expression.

“Do you intend to fight with that sword?”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“By all appearances, it doesn’t appear to be a demon sword. I don’t feel like fighting against an opponent who’s only using a block of metal that doesn’t allow magic.”

“Fumu. How about this then?”

I draw a magic formation on the sword and cast Arms Strengthening <Adeshin>. The kongo iron sword wears my enormous magic power and emits a chaotic glow like a demon sword from the age of myths.

“If your sword has no magic then you can make up for it with your own magic power.”

The tournament doesn’t allow magic that can harm your opponent but <Adeshin> is an exception. When using demon swords it’s common sense that you use this magic because your power adds to the sword’s power and increases its sharpness. Because my demon sword has no magic it would disadvantageous for me not to use this spell.

Its a bit of a handicap for me though.

“Before the first game starts the organisers of the tournament have an announcement.” The owl flying overhead states.

“There were changes to the tournament rules but the were not communicated in time so I will inform you here. In this tournament <Adeshin> and other similar magics have been banned. It is also forbidden to attack in any other way other than by your sword.”

As the owl was speaking 16 men wearing official robes appeared around the stage.

“The watchmen will be closely examining the match. Severe penalties will be imposed on anyone violating the rules. Depending on the circumstances you may even be disqualified.”

I see. So that’s how it is. As long as I am banned from using <Adeshin> the kongo iron sword will be unable to break through Kurt’s magic barrier and will break. I could easily break through his barrier with my bare hands but any attack other than with a sword is also prohibited.

In other words, my chances of winning have been sealed and Kurt will break my sword with his.

It looks like they saw my sword before the match started and changed the rules to fit. I have the feeling that even if I’d brought out Venuzdonoa they have found a way to ban it.

“Yare yare. I’m impressed by the groundwork of my father.” Kurt says “Not that I’d lose against such a petty trick anyway. The result would have been the same.”

Kurt draws his demon sword.

The blade appears to be transparent, however, on a closer look, the blade is actually rippling as if made from water.

“That’s Kurts demon water sword [Eishas]…….”

“It’s impossible for him to destroy other demons swords since his blade is made from water but that doesn’t mean its sharpness is half-hearted either…..”

“That other sword is just metal so even Kurt’s sword will be able to break it in a blow or two……”

Whispers were leaking from the audience seating.

“Without further ado, the first match of the Deiruheido demon sword tournament shall commence!! Begin!!”

The owl signals the start of the match.

At that moment Kurt moved. His style of movement resembled flowing water and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me and thrust out Eishas.

In one breath he moved 3 steps, then 9 and then 27 steps.

Uncountable blades of water came at me from all sides.

“It’s here! Kurt’s secret technique! Water Fang Connected Demon Thrust <Suigarenmatotsu>!!”

“It’s over!! There’s no one in this world who can doge that.”

“Serves you right mixed-blood!!”

Fumu. It’s a very tepid attack.

“…………What……..!?”

I evaded Kurt’s attacks and looked down on him.

“That’s a secret technique? My classmate is much quicker.”

“……You only dodged once……..Accept this next one…….!!”

I accept Kurts demon sword Eishas with my kongo iron sword.

The sound of a violent collision rang out.

“………..Tsu!?”

Kurt couldn’t even say anything. He just stood there with an astonished expression on his face.

It’s just a metal sword without any magic. A demon sword shouldn’t be stopped.

“Oi! Watchmen! Look properly! He must be cheating!”

“That’s right! Eishas should have cut right through that sword!”

“Cheating! It’s a foul!”

“That mixed-bloods cheating! It’s an unfair act! Disqualification! Disqualification!”

A large chorus of “Cheat! Cheat!” rang out from the audience.
