“Ah, he was here a little while ago. We were studying together but he disappeared like he was spirited away. The subordinates of the scarlet monument king and the dark king have also disappeared.” (Jiste)
Oh?
“Is the spiriting away connected to the class here?” (Arnos)
“It seems you’ll disappear if you fail tests here. It seems the only way to get them back is to ask the spirit king at the top of this great tree.” (Jiste)
“Is it easy to get to the top?” (Arnos)
Jiste shook her head.
“I heard you have to take the class seriously and pass a test of spirits to get there. Oh, that reminds me. A subordinate of Kaihiram-sama was taken away and he told me to help them until he returned. It’s causing me a bit of trouble actually.” (Jiste)
Fumu. So the subordinates of the scarlet monument king and the dark king are being held hostage so they are seriously studying here?”
I don’t buy it. There must be more.
“Who is the spirit king?” (Arnos)
“Isn’t he the king of the spirirts? I have no idea. I’ve never met him.” (Jiste)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt looks like the only way to meet the Spirit King is to pass the spirit trials.
As long as I meet him I can get my subordinates back but what do I do now?
For the time being, I’ll finish up with Jiste.
“Sorry for disturbing you.” (Arnos)
“No problem. See you later Demon King-sama.” (Jiste)
As we walked away Sasha whispered to me.
“….Nee, what was that about?” (Sasha)
“As you’ve no doubt figured out the curse king has a split personality. The main personality is the curse king Kaihiram but there’s also his lover Jiste.” (Arnos)
“I don’t get it…….” (Sasha)
Sasha glances over at the curse king. Though his face is neutral his body is completely male.
“The fact that he has a split personality is nothing to be concerned about. The problem is that when the personality switch happens not only are his memories completely replaced but even his origin changes. If I was to search Jiste’s memories I would not find a single memory of Kaihiram’s.” (Arnos)
“Mysterious.” (Misha)
“I’m sure there’s only one origin but not even Kaihiram is able to switch personalities at will. It just happens.” (Arnos)
We’ll have to wait until the curse king comes back to ask any further questions.
“Kukuku.” Nousgalia lets out a laugh
“What a funny scene. We’ve got the demon king and the four evil royals who are second only to the demon king. You all influenced Deiruheido 2000 years ago and are now all gathered in this hall taking lessons.” (Nousgalia)
“You’ve got room to talk.” (Arnos)
“Haha” (Nousgalia)
Nousgalia laughs again and moves to an empty stump.
“God’s plan is absolute. My actions are still within my order. You may think you have taken me out Demon King of Tyranny but there is no discrepancy in the worlds order. Even me having to take a class will not alter that.” (Nousgalia)
Nousgalia sits down full of composure.
At that moment bells ring out again.
“Book.”
“The book command has rung.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Coming.”
“Sensei is coming.”
The Titi fly noisily around the classroom.
“Well, what should we do?” (Eleonor)
“I guess we’ll have to take the class.” (Ray)
“Yeah, let’s do that for now. I’m curious who this spirit king is. This seems to be the quickest way to meet this fellow and ask him to release Shin and the others.” (Arnos)
I sat down on a nearby stump. Misha and the others also picked seats and sat down.
“Its time for class”
A voice sounded out of nowhere.
“Since we have some new students here today, let me introduce myself.”
Eyes, nose, and a mouth appeared on a large tree that grew near to the classroom’s podium.
“My name is the great tree Eniyunien and this is the spirit school.” (Eniyunien)
The voice sounded over the whole classroom.
