āIām going to speak very clearly, Berna! I hate Great Demon Lord Rimuru . However, I do not believe that all of his actions are evil . And we made plenty of mistakes ourselves . He left the school in Ingracia, and even if we are no longer the center of politics or finance, he showed us a way to survive as a place that exports culture . He even opened the great transport system called a train! These facts prove that he is acting fairly . You cannot argue with that!ā
Ohh . There were a few spots I didnāt like, but his estimation of me was more positive than I had expected .
Still, it did hurt a little that he was so clear in saying he hated me .
But well, it was his honest opinion . And I wasnāt in a position to complain .
āYouāre weak! Itās because you say such things that Ingracia is looked down upon! Never mind this . I donāt want to hear anymore . If that is your opinion, you can fall with the others!ā
Juliusās attempt at persuasion failed, and Berna unsheathed his sword .
As if on cue, Magnus, Irina, Clad and Rozari also pulled out their swords .
People with different mindsets often found it difficult to talk .
It was unfortunate, but this fight would not be resolved through talking with each other .
And like that, the fighting began .
There were five of these Humanity Emancipation Alliance people including Magnus .
However, it seemed to me that these individuals were not completely united in will .
Well, they were humans after all . There was no way that they would all think exactly alike .
And so I had already factored in the possibility of such anti-Demon Lord organizations popping upā¦
Now, what would happen?
Irina and Rozari could fuse with demons, apparently, and so they supported the others with magic .
However, with three rank knights here, one poison tiger may not be enough .
Magnus and Berna were especially strong .
This looked like it would be a tough fight .
Berna was the first to move .
He unsheathed his sword, full of animosity and went straight for Julius .
It was the poison tiger who stopped him .
It jumped out in a quick motion and blocked the attack with Voice Canon .
Unlike the last fight, the poison tiger was moving so smoothly that it seemed like a different monster entirely .
Which was no surprise, because Karmaās friends were behind it and giving orders .
There was a kind of telepathic way that monsters could communicate, and they could understand each othersā will .
āTsk! Very sly!ā
There was also the support of various magic spells, which meant the poison tiger was greatly enhanced in terms of combat ability .
It had been beaten by Magnus the last time, but now it seemed to have the advantage against Berna .
āLet me help . ā
Clad said as he joined Berna .
They would fight the students later and focus on the strongest enemy . It was a good decision .
However, things would not be so easy .

After seeing Berna struggle, Irina and Rozari immediately activated some magic .
They were trying to dispel the magic buffs on the poison tiger and replace them with weakening magic .
However, Irina and Rozariās magic was just erased by the students .
āImpossible! How is our magic being beaten by student-level magic!?ā
I could understand her surprise .
She knew how the students were just a few days ago, and she could not have predicted that their magic would surpass hers in that amount of time .
But that was the reality .
Not only Marsha, but the other magic students had learned to use the magic cards .
Each student learned one spell .
They were given one card each, and it contained a type of magic that they were good at .
Strategy-wise it was not going to be possible to have them learn more than that in just a matter of days .
And so I had them focus on just one spell that they were good with .
And then they were separated into groups and then into smaller teams .
For instance, there were fifteen that learned healing magic .
They were then separated into five teams of three .
There were three in the front .
Julius, Karma and Mondo . And then of course, the poison tiger .
In other words, there was one team for every front guard . And there was one team leftāwhich meant there were three people who could move freely .
Mondo was inferior to Julius and Karma in terms of combat ability, but he was quite brilliant when it came to defense . āBut I canāt do thatā¦ā he had hesitated at first, but he eventually accepted the important role after much persuading from the others .
With six people taking turns healing them, the front guard would be able to fulfill their roles just fine, unless they received significant damage .
And of course, it wasnāt just healing magic that was being used .
There was support magic, interference magic, defense magic and attack magic as well . Everyone had their own role .
In fact, it was because of the few students who were in charge of interference magic that Irinaās spells were being erased now .
The enemy only had two people doing magic .
They may have been much more capable, but that was with the old style of magic .

This new type of magic was much faster when activating and had short cool down times .
So even if the students were less capable, they could team up and overwhelm Irina quite easily .
āWe can do this! Letās continue to protect them!ā
Marsha shouted .
As if encouraged by her, the students grew more determined .
And like that, the battle of magic shifted to the studentsā favorā¦or so we thought .
āWhat is this? This magic . As annoying as this is, I never would have predicted that such magic exists . Still, theyāre not the only ones with a trump card . ā
Irina probably thought that this new magic was the result the teachersā research .
It seemed like she stopped focusing on it and switched gears .
An incredibly calm person, as befit a researcher .
And with that, she took out the trump card she had been hiding from her āstorage space . ā
