A boy raised by a demon king and a dragon king seems to be peerless in his school life.

Volume 7 Chapter 28 Flash

When Chisha mentioned relying on Ruisha, Kazaha looked at him with an intrigued expression.

“W-What? Is there something on my face!?”

“Nah. I was just thinking, ‘Oh, you trusts Ruisha a lot,’ that’s all.”

“Ugh.”

Caught off guard by an unexpected comment, Chisha blushed and felt embarrassed.

Like Kazaha before, Chisha had initially approached Ruisha because of his short stature. However, over time, Ruisha had become an irreplaceable friend and the most reliable person for Chisha.

“Trusting others is foolish.” This was Chisha’s attitude before entering the magic academy. However, he had come to cherish the time spent surrounded by friends, although he would never admit it, for it was too embarrassing.

“A-Alright, let’s end this conversation! Let’s find Ruisha quickly. I think he was out somewhere having fun with Burn and the others…”

Saying this, Chisha was about to start searching for Ruisha.

Under normal circumstances, finding Ruisha amidst this crowd would be next to impossible. But Chisha possessed Analytical Magic. With this, he could deduce a person’s location from tiny clues.

Fortunately, information about his classmates was firmly imprinted in Chisha’s mind. If Ruisha was within the kingdom, he could quickly pinpoint his whereabouts.

So, just as he was about to activate the magic, a moment later, a red burst of light shot up into the nearby sky, accompanied by the sound of “Whirr, whirr, whirr… Bang!”

Passersby stopped and looked puzzled, saying, “What was that? Fireworks?” But Chisha and Kazaha had different reactions.

“A red flash, which means…”

“No mistake, something’s definitely happening.”

The two of them immediately recognized the light as the result of a makeshift magical device called the “Magic Light Cylinder,” created by Ruisha.

Utilizing the properties of a special plant called the “Magic Color Grass,” which changes the color of its leaves based on the wavelength of infused magic, the device emitted various colors of light depending on the infused magical wavelength.

Ruisha had distributed these cylinders to all of their classmates, instructing them to release this light into the sky in case of any emergency.

By the way, the red light signified “Emergency situation, gather where the light is.”

“We don’t know who activated the light, but let’s go check it out. We’re sure to figure something out!”

Saying this, Chisha was about to run towards the source of the light, tightly holding Kazaha’s hand.

“Ah! C-Chisha!?”

Startled by the sudden handhold, Kazaha blushed and felt her heart race. Unfortunately, Chisha, engrossed in serious mode, didn’t notice such a thing.

“Let’s go, Kazaha!”

“Y-Yes!”

And so, the two of them started running towards the royal castle.

Volume 7 Chapter 28.1 Special Edition: Class Z Roster

“Class Z Student Roster”

Children with “outstanding talents,” commonly known as “abnormal abilities,” gathered from various parts of the world, as discovered by Prince Yuri.

(Age is indicated in parentheses.)

Ruisha Bardy (15)

A boy from a village with no talent in magic or sports. Trapped in the Infinite Prison by a twist of fate, he undergoes astonishing growth through training from the Demon King and the Dragon King during his escape.

Due to his weak past, he sometimes displays a fanatical obsession with “strength.” However, fundamentally, he is a kind-hearted person. Touched by the kindness of the Demon King and Dragon King who raised him, he aspires to become a “giver” to someone and offer something to others.

He learns various techniques from different people and excels in unconventional tactics by combining them without adhering to specific patterns.

[Abnormal Ability]

Magic directly taught by the Demon King and Qigong techniques secretly passed down by the Dragon King.

An intense desire for strength.

“Charlotte Yuderia (15)”

Descendant of the legendary hero, born with a strong connection to the hero’s power. Nicknamed Sharo.

Having been born as the descendant of the hero, she underwent grueling training from childhood due to a strong desire to be strong. In her age group, she had no rivals, and even adults couldn’t defeat her.

Having spent a long time in such an environment, she was initially prideful of her strength. However, after a complete defeat by Ruisha, she returned to her original kind-hearted nature and became infatuated with Ruisha, who was sincere and straightforward with her.

While she respects her great ancestors, she doesn’t blindly believe in them as she has never met them.

Inside, she’s a typical young girl.

[Abnormal Ability]

Special magic usable only by the hero’s descendants and swordsmanship passed down by the hero.

“Iris V. Vondersen (14)”

A rare vampire among the demon race, specializing in blood magic.

Her clan owes a debt of gratitude to the Demon King Testarossa for helping them in a time of extinction crisis, a debt they have not forgotten to this day. Hence, even after three hundred years, they are still searching for the missing Demon King.

Iris enrolled in the academy to extract information from Sharo, a descendant of the hero.

Later, upon learning that Ruisha was the disciple of the Demon King, she became a maid to support him. To be honest, her motivation was also driven by the fact that she found Ruisha’s face appealing and attempted to take advantage of her maid position to make a move on him. Iris stands out even among the generally attractive vampires for her exceptionally beautiful face, making it hard for Ruisha to strongly reject her advances.

[Abnormal Ability]

High magical power unique to the demon race and a strong physique.

Innate abilities of the vampire clan and blood magic.

“Yuri Von Exadoria (14)”

The first prince of the Exadore Kingdom. A brilliant mind, excellent reflexes, and to top it off, handsome—truly an elite.

However, he doesn’t let these qualities go to his head. Instead, he constantly contemplates how he can best serve the country as its future king, making him a role model for kings. Intrigued by Ruisha’s power that he witnessed during the entrance exam, he initiated a conversation with him.

In order to make the Z Class plan a success, he consistently deals with the students’ mishaps, often causing stomachaches.

[Abnormal Ability]

Exceptional observational skills to discern talents.

“Ibuki Ironheart (14)”

Yuri’s bodyguard. Ibuki’s family, the Ironheart family, has been serving as the royal family’s bodyguards for generations. Childhood friends with the prince, they have spent their early years together as good companions.

For some reason, Ibuki always wears a full-faced helmet, and no one, not even Yuri, has seen his face underneath for over a decade.

His distinctive character trait is ending sentences with “〜ssu.” Despite his carefree personality, he takes his duty as the prince’s bodyguard seriously and is ready to risk his life to protect him in times of need.

Beneath the helmet is a [secret].

[Abnormal Ability]

None in particular.

However, his sword skills far surpass those of his peers.

“Wolf Blackbite (14)”

A wolf beastman. Due to his unique ability of ancestral reversion, he has faced disdainful glances from fellow beastmen, pushing him to leave the beastmen’s society and come to the Exadore Kingdom where humans reside. However, even here, he encountered discrimination against beastmen, causing him to develop a distrust for humans.

With limited funds, he enrolled in the magic academy known for its robust student support. It’s here that he caught Yuri’s attention.

Having been rescued by Ruisha from a moment of beastman discrimination, he now affectionately refers to him as “Captain.” He’s a person of strong principles, valuing compassion.

[Abnormal Ability]

Ancestral reversion.

“Burn Barred (15)”

A boy with a distinctive red mohawk. His body is well-toned due to his passion for weightlifting.

Born and raised in a strict household, his parents held intellectual professions. They expected Burn to follow in their footsteps, but he rebelled against the idea and escaped by enrolling in the kingdom’s magic academy.

A mischievous, short-statured boy. He adores running above all and would dash around the hills and fields whenever he had the chance.

Upon hearing Burn’s plan to attend the magic academy, he eagerly joined in, heading towards the kingdom together.

[Abnormal Ability]

Exceptional speed enhancement magic.

“Dokabe Abalesia (15)”

In contrast to Merel, Dokabe is a significantly large boy. Despite his appearance suggesting great strength, he is timid and dislikes fighting.

Born into a skilled warrior family, he was initially praised by his parents for his well-endowed physique. However, his shy nature gradually became apparent, and he was eventually overlooked.

Growing tired of such an environment, when Burn informed him about the magic academy, he made a significant decision.

[Abnormal Ability]

Exceptional defensive magic.

“Chisha Rockholms (15)”

A halfling boy from the dwarf tribe.

He is dexterous and skilled in disabling traps and unlocking locks, making him an exception among halflings, who are typically not known for magical prowess.

Volume 7 Chapter 29 Black shadow running through

Chisha and Kazaha were running toward the origin of the shimmering flash that burst in the sky.

In contrast to Kazaha, who ran swiftly with surprising speed despite her small stature, Chisha was running laboriously with heavy steps.

“Huff, huff, w-wait…!”

“What’s wrong, Chisha? Put more effort into your run. We’ll lose daylight before we arrive.”

“I-I’m not… good at moving my body…”

Despite not running a great distance, Chisha was gasping for breath.

Halflings, a small folk, traditionally lived in forests and led a life of hunting. Though their height was only about that of a human child, their agility far surpassed that of humans.

Leveraging their speed and innate dexterity, they moved through the trees, hunting and sustaining themselves with handmade bows and knives. Their skillful hunting scenes earned them the nickname “Forest Assassins.”

However, Chisha, though appearing like an ordinary halfling, did not inherit their agility or dexterity. Instead, he possessed magical talent. Yet, halflings, who struggled with magic, tended to dislike their magical kin. It was only natural for them to reject what they couldn’t comprehend.

“Huhee, hohhee, I can’t go on…”

Exhausted, Chisha felt like collapsing right there. But in that moment, someone caught him gently and held him.

In this place, he knew there was only one person who would do such a thing. With a fluttering heart, Chisha looked up. It was supposed to be Kazaha, his beloved…

‘Kitch, Kitchi!’

No, it wasn’t a person.

A gleaming black body with sharp fangs. Numerous legs too many to count were busy moving around.

It was one of the insects under Kazaha’s command, Mu-chan from the centipede clan. Sensing Chisha’s peril, Mu-chan emerged from Kazaha’s body to gently catch Chisha.

“Th-thank you.”

‘Kitchi!’

Mu-chan happily responded to Chisha’s somewhat disappointed gratitude. Despite the terrifying appearance, it seemed to have an amiable personality.

“Well done, Mu-chan, you’re a good boy.”

Arriving a bit late to Chisha, Kazaha gently petted Mu-chan and said so. Then, seeming to have come up with a good idea, she clapped her hands together.

“Yeah! It’s a great idea if Mu-chan takes us like this!”

“Huh?”

Chisha froze at Kazaha’s words. Although he had interacted with Mu-chan a few times and had somewhat gotten used to it, the centipede, several times his size, was still frightening. Ride on it? No way, impossible!

However, despite Chisha’s thoughts, Mu-chan effortlessly slipped beneath him and easily lifted him up.

“Hey! Stop it!”

“Don’t struggle too much, it’s dangerous! Just resign yourself and hold on tight!”

“S-Stop that!”

In vain resistance, Chisha was placed on Mu-chan’s back, desperately clinging to it as they raced through the city at breakneck speed.
