Volume 2 - CH 7

On the third floor of Demon Castle, there is a reference room with huge bookshelves. If you are a student, you can use it as much as you want. I stepped in with my classmates.

“We’re here, it’s large. This reference room I haven’t used it before, so I rarely took a closer look.”

“Oh, is that so? I’m glad I could show you around. After the lecture, we were told to come here if there was something we didn’t understand, so it became the place we’re used the most next to the cafeteria.”

“Huh, is that so?”

When I came back from the dungeon, I thought about doing some research, but I didn’t have a chance to visit.

I asked Liza for most of the answers, and there were many things I had to do before I looked it up. Now, I finally come.

And when I look at this bookshelf and the comfortable reading sofa,

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no. With so many books and materials, I want to indulge in reading them.”

I didn’t have much reading material in my hometown, I read it all when I have time. When I muttered that, Cody next to me grinned.

“Oh, do you like reading books too?”

“Oh, Cody too?”

“Ha, ha, ha. I don’t look like that, right?”

“No, that’s not the case. It’s often said that dragons are wise.”

Dragons may look big and brawny, but they often accumulate a lot of knowledge.

“It’s no wonder that dragons love books.”

“Thank you for saying that. When I come here after a lecture in the special class and read a book, I sometimes get confused by the people in the regular class. Well, I got used to it. “

“Well … But is it difficult to receive a special advance class lecture because there are things you can’t understand without coming to the reference room?”

I didn’t understand that because I only attended the special advance class lectures for the first few days.

“I thought it was just a dungeon-type lecture like Professor Dante did.”

“Well, that’s also the case. There are some classes that you go into the dungeon and learn how to use magical power for battle. However, there are also other lectures. For example, last week I learned about the history of the demons. The custom of coming to the Demon King’s Castle and learning by making a dungeon was created to raise the life span of the entire demons, I guess.”

“Ah, there was something like that.”

I used to be lightly taught by my parents, but I think they didn’t do it in detail.

“A long time ago, it seems that demons were hunted by humans. Our bodies can be used as materials, and magic stones can be taken from the dungeons we made.”

The demon’s body structure is often different from that of humans.

Therefore, there was a time when we were regarded as prey for hunting. It was a long time ago, and although few things were known of that era, it’s a history that certainly existed.

“Well, there aren’t many such rude people now that we made peace, but I’m grateful that they teach me combat magic, the construction of dungeons, and the ability to operate them as a means of protecting myself.”

With that said, Cody taps his arm.

“It’s easy to learn magic because demons like us use magical powers daily. For example, Dragon-kin, if you don’t have skin protection first, the scales will tingle, so I will remember it as a child.”

“Well, that’s good because it has protective power.”

“That’s right, Is Chrono a devil in terms of race? Is there any magic or special power that only devils can use?”

Cody says while looking at my horn, but the devil’s horn is just an energy store and has no special power. in addition,

“I’m not at all. I don’t have the demon-like characteristics that make me feel like a human being, so I don’t have the right magic. It’s all about the physique I was taught when I was in my hometown.”

Cody nodded loudly to my words.

“Oh, I guess you held down Professor Dante’s wolf. Most of us couldn’t see it.”

“Well, you couldn’t see it, but I was nervous, it was moving rather scary. I didn’t know if it would hold the dungeon wolf, so I had to be careful.”

The moment I said while remembering the past, my classmates buzzed.

“Oh, were you careful with that…?”

“Seriously. I’m a beast kin and have good dynamic vision, but I couldn’t catch it. No way.”

I have been told about their impressions. Somehow, I feel that a little air pocket has been created again.

However, while opening a space like that, Cody and the others soon approach again.

“It’s amazing. Is there a hero on Chrono’s hometown to be taught such a technique? There are people who have such anecdotes that they’ve driven back the human invaders.”

“No, my hometown is in the countryside. I don’t think there is a hero or someone like that.”

It is a town where many people live while cultivating fields, hunting beasts, and enjoying self-sufficiency. I think heroes are far from words, in the first place,

“It was just my neighbor’s old man and grandmother who taught me how to do martial arts, and I wasn’t just taught by the demons. My hometown is a place where multiple races live together, and I’ve been taught a lot. It’s just a combination of the results. “

“Well, I see. It’s a haunted place for an uncle and aunt in the neighborhood to use martial arts.”

Haunted is a terrible word.

Well, the field and mountains were close, there were times when nature was harsh, and transportation was limited, but it was not necessarily environmentally inconvenient.

However, it was a space where I could live happily.

“It happened that someone from another race came to teach me the techniques from the outside. Basically, it was communicated by my neighbors, and I enjoyed learning it.”

“Oh, yeah …. I’m glad I knew the roots of Chrono’s power. It’s a strange feeling that I’m scared to know any more.”

Everyone nodded at Cody’s words. I am a little sad when they fear my hometown.

“Well, aside from the story of my hometown, it was helpful to see the library. Please tell me if there is another place you can use.”

“Oh, yeah, that’s right. There is a bar lounge on the third floor that is separate from the cafeteria, so I’ll show you there next time.”

“Thank you, Cody.”

“No, leave it to me, Chrono”

After leaving the library, I enjoyed the Demon Castle guided tour and deepened my relationship with my classmates.
