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

Volume 8 Chapter 7 Sumo

“Alright, let’s start with the first round…”

“I told you, I don’t want to do it!”

Ruisha halted the student council president, who was trying to push forward without listening to others.

The student council president looked genuinely surprised and exclaimed, “Huh?”

“Why not? Don’t you want to be the student council president?”

“I’ve been saying that, haven’t I? I really don’t want to be the student council president!”

Ruisha knew that becoming the student council president would be advantageous for future job opportunities. However, he didn’t have that desire in the first place. He had no inclination to stand above the students and achieve something, so the president’s proposal was not appealing to Ruisha.

“Grr, if you join the student council, you can get discounts at the cafeteria, you know?”

“No, I’m fine.”

“You’ll be respected by the students! You could even become popular!”

“I’m okay with that too.”

“Right! You can also decide the participants for the Grand School Festival!”

“I’ve been saying… wait, what did you just say?”

The phrase ‘Grand School Festival’ uttered by the student council president caught Ruisha’s attention.

“Hmm? That’s correct. As you already know, the upcoming ‘Grand School Festival’ gathers students from across the continent to determine the strongest student in a festival. The student council president has the right to decide the participants. If you win, how about I grant you that right?”

Ruisha caught his breath at those words.

Because he had been pondering how he could somehow determine the participants for the ‘Grand School Festival’.

The reason Ruisha was so fixated on this was because of the prize for winning the school festival. With that prize, he could significantly advance towards collecting the artifacts of the hero. He wanted to obtain it at all costs.

“…I understand. I accept the challenge.”

Ruisha declared with determination, even though he had no intention of joining the student council. He only desired that right.

The student council president, who hadn’t expected someone to covet that right, was initially taken aback but soon wore a sly smile.

“Hehehe, I’m glad you accepted the challenge. Well then, let’s start the first match right away.”

Saying this, the student council president snapped his fingers, and a student who had a board with ‘Student Council Triple Challenge’ written on it appeared in front of Ruisha.

“I’m Mite Zeppelin, a general affairs member of the student council from Class A of the Magic Academy. I’ll handle the first match.”

A tall student, standing at a height of two meters, declared to Ruisha while cracking his knuckles.

Covered in muscles as tough as rocks all over his body, he looked far from ordinary.

“The challenge against me is simple, enter the circle drawn on the ground and push the opponent out of it or ensure that they touch the ground with anything other than their feet to win.”

“I see, a competition called ‘Sumo.’ Understood.”

This competition was one of the combat methods passed down from another world. Although not widely known, Ruisha, being a student of various combat techniques from around the world, was familiar with it.

“Hmm, you’re quite knowledgeable. Do you also know that this competition favors those with a larger physique?”

“Yes. However, I’m aware that victory isn’t solely determined by that.”

“I see, intriguing!”

Mite and Ruisha both stepped into the circle drawn on the ground, which had a diameter of about five meters.

The difference in their physique was evident. Standing at about 160 centimeters, Ruisha was dwarfed by Mite, who stood at two meters. It was like an adult versus a child.

However, there was no trace of worry on Ruisha’s face.

He believed in his master who had trained him and believed in his own body, honed through that training.

“Let’s begin then. Are you ready?”

“Yes, anytime.”

The two of them lowered their stances within the circle. Then, almost as if they had agreed on it, they charged simultaneously.

” Hakkeyoi… here we go!!”

Shouting, Mite delivered a powerful headbutt directly at Ruisha. It was a lightning-fast headbutt from a giant weighing over a hundred kilograms. For an average person, their head would likely be crushed.

However, the opponent was far from average.

“Mmm… hah!!”

Ruisha didn’t retreat and counterattacked the headbutt with a headbutt of his own.

Their heads collided cleanly, creating a resounding ‘Gonnn!!’ that echoed around, as if two masses of iron had collided.

And a few seconds later, it was the giant Mite who fell.

“Y-You idiot…”

Leaving these parting words, he lay on the ground with blood dripping from his nose. A massive lump on his head revealed the intensity of the impact.

On the other hand, Ruisha remained unfazed and calmly turned his gaze to the remaining two student council members.

“Now, who’s next?”

At this moment, the student council realized they had picked a fight with someone utterly formidable.

Volume 8 Chapter 8 Paper test

“Nuuu! Next, it’s your turn!”

The student council president shouted while tending to the unconscious student council member, defeated by Ruisha.

Then, one of the student council members who had been standing behind him stepped forward.

“I shall take this on.”

Saying this, a female student with distinctive short, blue hair stepped forward. She wore silver-framed glasses, giving off an impression of quiet demeanor.

“I am Yuki Kraus, the vice president and secretary of the student council from Class A of the second year. I will win this match in the name of the student council’s honor.”

She spoke with conviction and directed a strong, cold gaze at Riusha.

From her eyes, one could sense a strong determination.

“Understood… I’m ready to face you!”

Ruisha confidently met her gaze and replied. Their eyes clashed in mid-air, creating sparks.

In this tense atmosphere, even Sharo and the others couldn’t help but feel the tension rise.

“Now, as for the rules of the match… I’ve decided on this.”

Saying this, she pulled out a piece of paper.

“Is this… a test paper?”

“That’s right. The format for the second match is a ‘Paper Test.’ You’ll be challenging me in a test. The time limit is ten minutes, and once that passes, we’ll end and compete based on the scores. By the way, the content of the test is within the scope of what first-year students learn, though it’s intentionally made challenging.”

“So, it’s a battle of knowledge. I accept the challenge.”

“Good spirit. Well then, let’s proceed with the preparations for the match.”

Saying so, Yuki prompted about ten students to appear from various directions, and they began preparing for the exam.

They were also members of the student council. However, they were ordinary members without positions and could only handle miscellaneous tasks. Nevertheless, it would be a plus for their future employment prospects, so they willingly served under the student council officers today.

“Preparations complete!”

“Thank you for your hard work. Well, shall we begin?”

Prompted by Yuki, Ruisha took his seat at the prepared desk. The teacher, who was the exam proctor, placed the test paper in front of him.

“I swear not to leak the contents of the test. Do your best.”

“Don’t worry. No matter what tricks you use, I’ll win head-on.”

“Heh, seems like unnecessary concern.”

With the preparations done, the test began at the signal from the exam proctor.

At that moment, Yuki, a student council member, was confident of victory and a broad smile formed on her lips.

“I won!! I knew what kind of test every teacher would come up with! And I had prepared for today’s examiner-teacher scenario! With my current condition, scoring above ninety points is secure!”

The test currently provided was of an ultra-high difficulty level, and even for an ordinary student, scoring fifty points would be considered excellent.

If someone were to score ninety points on such a test, winning would be next to impossible. Of course, this was considering a normal student…

—Several minutes later.

“Now, let’s announce the results! Yuki Kraus scored ninety-three points! Ruisha Bardy scored ninety-nine points! Therefore, the winner of this match is Ruisha!”

“H-Huh!? Wha—!?”

Upon hearing the results, Yuki exclaimed and fainted, foaming at the mouth.

On the other hand, Ruisha was nonchalant, saying, “Damn, I got one question wrong.”

“That’s… impossible. Yuki losing in a test…”

Watching this, the student council president shuddered. He never dreamt that they would lose in both the martial and intellectual realms, two opposing genres.

A despairing situation. However, he wasn’t ready to give up just yet.

“Excellent, Ruisha. Let’s begin the final match!”

“So it’s not a best-of-three… well, understood. What will be the final challenge?”

In response to these words, the student council president confidently replied.

“Prepare to be astonished. The final match is… ‘tag’!”
