Hey guys, I'm here with a new chapter
Enjoy the story :)
———————————————————————
Anos and Misha watched the torture Ryoumei caused to Leorig and Zepes
Anos: *sigh* he's done it again huh?
Misha: sound like this already happened before
Anos: it's because it has, Ryoumei is the nicest guy I know, but when someone messes with family or friendship he snaps
Misha: how so?
Anos: you just saw it, he even used Igurum, a spell he called "barbaric" when he saw me using it
Misha: that wasn't my question, I meant why does he act like this?
Anos: oh right, you don't know that story...
Misha: hmm?
~~~
Ryoumei just finished his fight and returned to where Anos and Misha were waiting
Ryoumei: ah, I finally calmed down, hey guys, did you wait much?
Anos: no, actually you were quite quick
Ryoumei: ja, I bet you'll take your time as always, also, this "royal" and "mongrel" stuff is a pain in the *ss
Anos: now that's rude, I'm not slow, I just enjoy playing around
Ryoumei: I know I know, now go, your match awaits
Anos: yeah, wish me luck
Ryoumei: you don't need it though
Anos: heh, right back at me huh? Alright, I'll try to be quick
Anos then left to his match
Ryoumei: he won't be quick...
And so Anos entered the arena, where a royal was already waiting inside
Royal: hmm, you should be grateful mongrel, I usually don't use of my valuable time fighting your kind, you should be rejoicing and kneeling in thanks
Anos: hmm, Ryo was right, this royal thing is annoying
The royal then started attacking by throwing a powerful punch at Anos but...
Anos: "wait"
The royal stopped in his tracks and couldn't move one bit
Anos: this match is wrong, we shouldn't be able to fight on equal footing, so... I'll handicap myself
Royal: huh?
Anos: I won't move from here, I won't use magic on my words or body, without even moving a finger never mind my limbs I will defeat you
Royal: ha, say all you want mongrel, from the magic you use looks like your magic isn't made for co...- the royal was saying but was cut by a strong impact on his body, bleeding from all places
Royal: this is...
Anos: did you notice? My heartbeat I mean
His heartbeat started sounding louder and the royal's body was hit once more with lots of damage
From the inside of the castle Ryoumei and Misha were watching the match with interest
Ryoumei: heh, he's torturing his opponent with his heartbeat, he always said he wanted to try that someday but every opponent we had was too strong to take the hit...
Misha: is that so...?
Ryoumei: hmm? What is it Misha? You seem uneasy
Misha: it's nothing, I was just thinking
Ryoumei: I see, it's ok then
Back to Anos fight the royal felt to the ground in pain full of blood. Anos gave his back and starting to exit the arena
Royal: wait right there
Anos: dont speak, do you want to die?
Royal: heh, you speak big game for someone who wasn't able to kill me
Anos: hmm? It's not that I can't kill you, you're just not worth the trouble
Royal: heh, excuses, if so powerful you are try to make me surrender, I bet you're just a mongrel who depends on compulsion magic to win
In that moment Anos strike a kick right at his face
Anos: I take it, if I can make you surrender without using compulsion magic I win, if not you win
Royal: make a pact
Anos: alright
"Zecht"
Royal: heh, you idiot, I won't surrender even if I died!
Anos: hmm, how to use my power effectively without causing that much damage? Oh I know, Ryo snapped his fingers, I'll try that
Royal: huh?
Anos then snapped his fingers and the royal was blown away by the expansion wave, killing him instantly
Anos: so even if I hold back it kills you, I will lose at this rate, hmm no way around it, ingall
He then dropped some blood and the royal was resurrected
The crowd was getting anxious
Random 1: again with the resurrection magic?
Random 2: I didn't even know that it existed
Royal: what? I was just...
Anos: how does it feel to die once? Ready to give up?
Royal: never!
Anos then snapped his fingers again and killed the royal, then resurrected him again
Anos: don't worry, if the source is intact you won't die in the true sense, I can resurrect you risk free in a span of 3 seconds, this is the so called, three second rule
The crowd was dead quiet, but inside the castle one person bursted on laugher
Ryoumei: pffff jajajajaja, that joke never gets old jajajaja- he laughed as he felt to the floor laughing
Misha: ...joke?
Ryoumei: hmm? Didn't get it Misha? Three second rule, like with food, but with ingall, it's very funny, you'll get used to it
Misha: doubt it
Back to Anos fight Anos killed and resurrected the royal a couple more times until the royal surrendered
Owl: the winner is Anos Voldigoad!
The crowd was acting anxious, they just saw two mongrels destroy royals like it was a child's play
Anos: hmm? Strange, they don't know my name? Guess lots of people went saying the name Anos Voldigoad they can't see I'm the original, it was the same with Ryo... hmmm
Anos exited the arena and returned to Ryoumei and Misha
Anos: Im back
Ryoumei: welcome back, you sure took your time
Anos: really? I think I was quite quick
Anos, Ryoumei and Misha continued the battles at the arena until they reached 5 victories each
Anos: how did you two do?
Ryoumei: they were quite easy wins, how about you Misha?
Misha: I won the 5 matches
Anos: good, looks like we three passed, what's next?
Misha: the magic power calculation
Ryoumei: hmm? What's that?
Misha: that crystal over there, it's to measure you magic power
Anos and Ryoumei watched the crystal in awe
Anos: that's a great item, it didn't exist in our era
Ryoumei: yeah, it's awesome
The students started passing at the crystal and the crystal stated a number according to the magic power
"76"
"102"
"69"
"100,826"
This last one was Misha's score
Anos: not quite bad Misha
Misha: do you have more?
Anos and Ryoumei approached the crystal
Ryoumei: I bet I get higher than you
Anos: you're on
Anos placed his hand on the crystal and...
"0"
It broke
Anos: ah...
Ryoumei: heh, Anos has a power of 0, jajaja
Anos: what happened? The crystal was supposed to break?
Ryoumei: looks like it wasn't able to measure your power, so what happens now? They bring a bigger crystal?
Anos: that should be it
Owl: and that concludes the magic power test
Ryoumei: what?! I wasn't even tested!
Anos: hey, Ryo
Ryoumei: what is it?
Anos: 0 is a bigger number than nothing right?
Ryoumei: no, 0 is 0, 0 is nothing, neither of us win the bet
Anos: oh dont be like that you know I won
Ryoumei: no you didn't
Misha: don't fight
Anos and Ryoumei: sorry...
And so they got to the last test, the aptitude test
Anos: so this is a test to determine how much we know about ourselves...
Ryoumei: well, the good thing is we're gonna pass no matter what
Anos: true that
Misha: what are you two talking about?
Anos: oh nothing, well, see you later
Ryoumei: yeah, later Misha
Misha: un
Anos and Ryoumei entered the magic circle to answer the test, the test worked by using leaks to read the users mind so there would be no cheating
Test: first question, what's the name of the demon king of tyranny?
Anos and Ryoumei: Anos Voldigoad
Test: second question: why did the demon king of tyranny destroyed dilhade with jio graze one night
Anos: really? I had enough of Ryo mocking me and now the test asks?
Ryoumei: jajajaja take that Anos
Anos and Ryoumei: I/he was half asleep dreaming with fighting hero Kanon
Test: third question, there's a boy with a great power but low demonic aptitude, and a girl with low power but great demonic aptitude, they both suffer a desease that can only be cured with the chalice of the gods, if there's only one chalice who should be saved?
Anos and Ryoumei: hmph, such easy questions...
~~~
Anos and Ryoumei exited the castle after the test
Anos: the questions were quite easy
Ryoumei: I know, especially the second one
Anos: *sigh* I knew you would bring that one out...
Ryoumei: jaja sorry I couldn't help it, but Anos did you notice?
Anos: yeah, it weirded me out at first but then my suspicions were clarified
Ryoumei: yeah, in the entirety of the test, there weren't questions about me, only about the demon king of tyranny
Anos: it is indeed weird, we need to research about it later
Ryoumei: I agree
While they were walking they spotted Misha at the entrance
Anos: hmm? What is it?
Misha: I was waiting for you two
Anos: really? Why?
Misha: you said see you later
Ryoumei: huh, never thought someone would take it literal
Anos: well, we're done for the day now, so why don't you two come to my house? Knowing my parents they must have a feast ready
Misha: can I?
Anos: Im the one inviting you
Misha: alright, I'll go
Ryoumei: woo hoo! Dinner at Anos' place! Misha, hold tight
Misha: I can use fly magic
Ryoumei: who said we're flying?
Misha: hmm? Alright
Anos and Ryoumei: "gatom"
They then teleported to Anos' home
Misha: that was teleportation magic...
Ryoumei: yeah, magic I developed with Anos
Misha: but it was lost at the mythical age...
Anos: hmm, it makes sense, along with us there were few people who could actually use it
They got inside the house and Anos' mother was there to greet them
Isabella: ah, welcome home
Anos: Im back mom, where's dad?
Isabella: back at the workshop, so, how was it?
Anos: I passed
Isabella: ah, congratulations, you passed your exams being one month old, you're very smart, so, what would you like for dinner?
Anos: hmm, let's see...
Ryoumei: your next line is "mushroom gratin" right?
Anos: mushroom gratin... Nani?
Isabella: hehe, I knew you would say that so I'm already making it... who are the people behind you?
Anos: ah, I forgot to introduce you, the guy is my best friend Ryo
Isabella: ah, you're the one Anos has told me so much about, it's a pleasure I'm Isabella, Anos' mother
Ryoumei: awww, you've told her about me
Anos: well of course, you're my best friend how could I not?
Isabella: hmm? And who might you be?
Anos: the girl is Misha, a friend I met in school today
Misha: nice to meet you
Isabella: you're one month old... one month old... and you've already brought home a wife!
Ryoumei: wow, your mom is nice
Anos: I know right?
Then Anos' father came out of the workshop
Gusta: atta boy, that's my son alright, we're having a feast tonight!
Ryoumei: jaja your father is great too, you have a good family
Anos: I agree
And so they ate the mushroom gratin Anos' mother made, Anos (as always) was eating in a trance fast without stopping
Ryoumei: jaja, as expected from Anos, mushroom gratin never gets old to you
After finishing their food Anos stayed home and Ryoumei walked Misha home
Ryoumei: heh, Anos' parents are loud aren't they?
Misha: Im used to it
Ryoumei: right, your father was like that too
Misha: he's not my father, he's my guardian
Ryoumei: and your parents?
Misha: they're around, but busy, my sister's boisterous
Ryoumei: do you get along with your sister?
Misha: I don't know
Ryoumei: hmm
Misha: does it bother you?
Ryoumei: a little, yes
Misha: hmm, Anos was right, you're nice after all
Ryoumei: jajaja nice? Me?
Misha: is it funny?
Ryoumei: well, nobody has called me that before except Anos
Misha: and what do they normally call you
Ryoumei: demon, fiend, murderer, piece of crap, you do the world no favors being alive, kill yourself... and so on- he said with a gloomy look
Misha: do they bother you?
Ryoumei: oh no, it's not like that, the thing is I earned every single one of them, Anos knows that too, they blame is on me
Misha: crouch down
Ryoumei: like this?
Misha then proceded to head pat Ryoumei
Misha: yoshi yoshi
Ryoumei was in shock for the sudden action and stepped back
Ryoumei: well that was new, I guess we're comrades now
Misha: comrades?
Ryoumei: oh, I spoke like Anos just now, I think the word now is "friend"
Misha: friend?
Ryoumei: am I wrong?
Misha: no, it makes me happy
Ryoumei: I see
Then they arrived at Misha's home, Ryoumei then returned home using gatom
Ryoumei: Misha Necron, you really remind me of a certain someone...
Ryoumei then watched his roof for a while thinking
Ryoumei: friend huh?
