Maou Gakuin No Futekigousha

Chapter 211.2

If you dont have a single thing you wish to protect from the dragons, then you have no reason to take this class. All of you. If you have no motivation, then get out. (Emilia)

As Emilia uttered those words, Ledriano stood up from his seat.

Heine followed, then one after another, all the Hero Academy students stood up and left the auditorium.

Raos, who was last, stopped as he was about to walk out the door.

He turned around and glanced at Emilia.

You sure about letting us leave? Aint we your responsibility? (Raos)

I dont care. Do whatever you want. (Emilia)

Hah! That so? In the end, youre just the same as them! (Raos)

After voicing his frustration, Raos also left the auditorium.

Emilia was the only person left from the Hero Academy.

The Demon King Academy students watched her with concern as she bit her own lip in discomfort.

Khahaha! Quite the show you all put on! But thats what it means to be young, wouldnt you say! (Eldmed)

The students were taken aback by Eldmeds comment.

Dont you agree, Shin-sensei? This never happened back in our days. (Eldmed)

Shin quietly shared his sentiment.

Such is youth. (Shin)

Umm, sensei, is it really okay to treat this situation so casually? asked Bookworm Naya.

Now thats a good question, Naya. Unlike with demons, this is what humans need. Because their trump card, the <Sanctuary Aske> spell, shows its true worth when their feelings are united. Humans are creatures who put on lots of facades, but thats why when they truly unite their hearts, their <Sanctuary Aske> spell becomes both a spear and a shield against us demons. (Eldmed)

After getting off the podium, Eldmed walked up to Emilia.

If so, then conflict is unavoidable. You clash with people and they clash with you, allowing you to know yourself and know them. Heroes fight with their heart. And you got to put it into practice yourself, Emilia-sensei. You exposed your own unsightly heart and clashed with your students. Isnt that a nice display of courage, hmm? (Eldmed)

The Demon Academy students agreed with Eldmeds statement.

Well then, you guys, why dont we demons fight like the demons we are? Today, Ill teach you an effective way to attack dragons. It just so happens Ive found the perfect practice targets in the desert to the east. (Eldmed)

Um, sensei Im just asking, but could it be that those targets are dragons? (Demon student A)

Thats right! Khahaha! Good, very good! I see your perceptiveness keeps growing! (Eldmed)

Predictably enough, the students looked dispirited at that.

Now, lets get going! And were gonna have fun practicing <Transition Gatom> as well. (Eldmed)

Eldmed drew the spell formula for <Transition Gatom> on the blackboard for all the students to check before casting it one after another to teleport.

Next to me, Sasha was about to cast <Transition Gatom> when she suddenly spoke up as if she noticed something..

Arent you coming? (Sasha)

Ill catch up later. I said while looking at Emilia, who was standing alone.

Make sure you dont rub salt in her wound, okay? (Sasha)

Did you think I would do that? (Anos)

Well, you looked like you were about to. Oh well. (Sasha)

Sasha teleported away.

After a while, Emilia and I were the only ones left in the main auditorium.

I slowly walked up to her side, but she kept her head down, not moving one bit.

Regardless of that, I drew a magic circle around her neck.

It was for storage magic, and what I pulled out of it was a necklace with a small bell attached to it.

Emilia slowly looked at me.

What is this? (Emilia)

Oh nothing, just a lucky charm. Its a magic item called the Bell of Thoughts, which enhances thought-based magic such as <Thought Communication Leaks>. Its said to make it easier to convey your feelings to another, and thus to reconcile with them. (Anos)

Emilia squinted her eyes a bit.

At the end of the day, you really are still a child, Anosh-kun (Emilia)

She lightly stroked the bell on her necklace with her fingers.

No teacher is supposed to tell students to leave. It might as well be a dereliction of duty. Its only natural for them to be angry with me. So reconciling with them is (Emilia)

Emilia looked down and cast a somber gaze on the floor.

But what you said was for their sake, wasnt it? (Anos)

Emilia looked at me in surprise.

Emilia, you thought that the fate of Heroes who had to protect even those who oppressed them was cruel. Thats why you told them to leave if they didnt have the motivation for it. (Anos)

Emilia remained silent, but her eyes were filled with sadness.

Am I wrong? (Anos)

She looked down and remained silent, then she opened her mouth.

That was short-sighted of me All things considered, I shouldnt do something Im not used to In the end, I didnt tell them the right thing to say (Emilia)

When I remained silent, Emilia muttered.

But How they felt earlier reminded me of myself (Emilia)

She paused and resumed.

No, perhaps theyve always been like that Since way back Thats why they never listened to me Emilia said as if looking back on her own past.

If the adults from the Hero Academy had raised them better, nothing so horrible would have happened (Emilia)

She immediately shook her head in repudiation.

No thats not true. This is just my personal grudge. I guess I just couldnt bear the resemblance to what pushed me into the depths of hell I didnt consider my students feelings (Emilia)

Emilia smiled sadly.

Im a terrible teacher. (Emilia)

I dont think so. (Anos)

My words flew straight to Emilia.

You wanted to protect their dignity. You didnt want them to stand on the battlefield for people they didnt want to protect. (Anos)

Now you sound like an adult Emilia whispered to herself.

But Nobody sees it that way (Emilia)

Then I guess Im the only one who does. (Anos)

Emilia looked at me in the eyes, looking surprised.

You were a good teacher today, Emilia. (Anos)

As soon as I said that, tears suddenly soaked the floor.

She quickly wiped her cheeks with her hands to hide them.

I wasnt Not one bit (Emilia)

Holding back her tears, Emilia looked forward.

But I think !Ill put up a bit more of a fight Ive come this far, after all (Emilia)

She walked towards the door.

Emilia. (Anos)

She turned around when I called out to her.

Youre working hard. (Anos)

Where does that even come from? she replied while smiling somewhat happily.

Anosh-kun, you should hurry over to Eldmed-senseis class quickly. If you slack off just because youre strong, you wont make a good Demon Lord. (Emilia)

Right. Later, then. (Anos)

Emilia waved her hand lightly and ran out the door.
