The Misfit of Demon King Academy

You may have forgotten me, but that's cold Anos.

I am the captain of the Unnamed Order, Selis Voldigoad.

Your father.

I've forgotten you?

Right.

The work of the Goddess of Creation Militia.

After she took your memories of me, she created false memories for you.

For what purpose?

I doubt that you would believe me if I told you.

If I did, I would have appeared long ago and told you everything.

Then why did you try to destroy the God of Records?

Because if I waited for your memories to return,

the God of Records would escape.

You might want to move. You may get hurt.

Try and move me.

Good grief. You never listen.

It disappeared?

It seems that your god has returned.

I let the God of Records escape.

You can't fight that demon while protecting another.

We won't fight. The reason to is gone.

You are not our enemy?

We are father and son. Our goals just didn't align this time.

Well then, until next time.

Looks like they really were only after the God of Records.

Arcana, have you regained your memories?

I...

wasn't able to remember.

So the ones you fought were also demons?

Yeah.

They must be subordinates of that Selis.

He calls himself your father, but I've never heard anything about him.

Yes, I have no memories of him.

And there is no evidence that he speaks the truth.

Misha, did you look into his heart?

I couldn't see anything.

He has nothing. He's an empty person.

Wasn't he in that dream the other day?

Yes. It seems that I have met him in the past.

You must be fatigued from today. Rest now for the day.

I had time.

But from the countless records in that world,

I couldn't find pages of my memories.

I felt fear.

In that moment, I was seized with it.

Fear that my present self would disappear.

I committed another sin.

It was not intentional.

If you chose to dispose of your name, it is only natural to fear remembering it.

If a god feels fear, the people will feel insecure.

What can a god who knows not fear know?

One cannot save men if they know not the hearts of men.

You wanted to have kindness.

Is fear a form of kindness?

People are weak,

and extending a hand to that weakness is kindness.

You put words to people's weakness, and I find that comforting.

What do you mean?

I mean that it is also salvation to me.

Sleep is far from me now.

I think that if my brother were to put me to bed like in the past,

sleep will come quickly to me.

That is my weakness.

I suppose I must.

I learned weakness.

I am a god, but I may fall into depravity.

Did you think that you would not be depraved just because you were a god?

Can I be depraved for a little longer today?

Very well.

If you were my brother, then I would have nothing to fear.

Can I call you the way I do in the dream?

Do as you wish.

Brother...

Good night.

Hello. So you came.

Teach me the spell!

You have a spell that can defeat dragons, right?

Of course.

But that's hard to do here.

Shall we?

Okay.

This is the Fire of Judgment.

They say that if you throw yourself into it

and endure the pain and suffering within,

you will gain great powers.

Oh, don't worry.

What is this?

Something to make sure the spell works.

Now, can you try it?

I'll help you.

No!

No need to fear Arcana.

Even if a dragon eats you, you can be reborn inside it.

You are a Dragoncore.

Dragons seek sources which will become cores for the children they bear.

That's why dragons have always come after you.

You saw that invitation, right?

It's about time you remembered them.

The memories that he took from you

and the lies he told you.

I...

He saw the dragons coming after you, took pity, and ran away together with you.

But even if a dragon eats you, you will be reborn as a Dragonborn.

There's no point to it.

Stop it...

Stop? Why?

If you're reborn, you won't need to run away.

Isn't that what you wanted?

But... G-Getting eaten will hurt!

Yes.

It's true that having your sources mixed into one, is pain beyond imagination.

But if this dragon eats about 1,000 sources, you will be reborn.

You just need to endure it.

You can think of it as practice for when you fall into the Fire of Judgment.

Even greater suffering awaits beyond, in the Land of Judgment.

-Save me... -Of course. I'm saving you.

You won't need to live in fear of dragons anymore.

Save me! Brother!

You were born to end this way.

You dare to say whatever you wish to my sister!

You've learned to use some powerful spells Anos.

You can't save her. That's why I'll save her instead.

...way...

What's that?

I said, get out of my way!

Oh? You're trying to push me away by force?

But...

So you've noticed fool?

Did you think that would work on me?

I have been playing tag with dragons for quite some time now.

I have learned more ways to attract their attention than I would like!

I do not know who you are,

but if you like this Land of Judgment so much,

then you can go alone to be judged!

Good grief. Well, this is not so bad.

Did you think that I would let a stupid lizard eat my sister?!

How did you know?

You wrote this when you were leaving.

Tomorrow is your birthday.

I'll give you what you want most for your present.

Wait for me!

I thought you might do something rash.

Sorry, Brother.

I'm okay now. I'm all better.

You were always bad at telling lies.

I wanted to get stronger.

Brother, you actually want to study magic, right?

But you can't go to the palace because I'm here...

I wanted to be able to defeat dragons by myself.

I wanted to tell you to relax and just go.

I wanted to make that my present to you.

But I was a liar...

I do not need any of that.

As long as my cute sister stays with me, that is all I need.

But...

But I...
