The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)

“Now here comes the support magic!” (Eleonore)

Eleanore spread her arms and drew a magic circle across the forest.

“<Source-Enhancing Magic Balls Eorunes>!!” (Eleonore)

Many red, blue, and green magic orbs emerged from the magic circle and began to float and drift through the forest.

Then she sent a message to everyone present via <Thought Communication Leaks>.

“The <Source-Enhancing Magic Balls Eorunes> spell brings out more power than everybody’s sources can normally use! Green will support you for 180 seconds, blue will last 120 seconds, and red will last for 60 seconds, and they will draw increasingly more power in that same order. But once the effects wear off, your magic power will be halved for 10 seconds, so you’ll have to be extra careful…!” (Eleonore)

“…Why the hell did you learn that kind of troublesome magic…?! What’s the Demon King Academy teaching you over there…?” Raos grumbled as he touched a blue orb.

He absorbed it as if using holy water, causing his magic power to instantly soar.

“What the hell? This is insane…” (Raos)

Raos ran across the ground and aimed at the dragon in front of him.

“Let’s go, Garriford! Burn it to ashes!” (Raos)

He moved behind the dragon rampaging through the first, and raised the Sword of Holy Inferno as high as he could.

His target was its weak point, the neck. He swung his sword down on the scaleless spot.

Garriford was slightly dug into its flesh. The holy sword then caught fire, burning the dragon’s body from the inside.

The dragon swayed before falling to the ground with a bang.

“…I did it…!” (Raos)

“Let’s work in rotation! When I give you the command, use the <Source-Enhancing Magic Balls Eorunes> orbs! And during the cooldown, make sure you’re protected by three other students!” (Emilia)

“Got it!” (Hero students)

Emilia quickly gave her instructions to the Hero Academy students.

The chaos in their formation caused by the dragons’ attack from above seemed to have been somewhat restored by Eleonore’s magic orbs.

“<Ablaze Light Mortar Sanctuary Teo Triath>.” (Eleonore)

Eleonore fired a shell of light into the sky.

However, the giant dragon in the sky easily dodged that high-speed shot.

“Hmm… If that one came down, things would definitely turn bad.” (Eleonore)

The dragon she was aiming for was a blue one.

He kept circling over the forest cautiously, keeping its Magic Eyes on the forest.

He must’ve been 200 meters long.

The magic power emanating from its entire body was far beyond that of the other dragons.

“…Zeshia… will go for it…” (Zeshia)

“Not yet! We’ll be at a disadvantage in the air, so let’s shoot down the other dragons first.” (Eleonore)

“….Under… stood… Zeshia will be… patient…” (Zeshia)

Eleonore aimed her <Ablaze Light Mortar Sanctuary Teo Triath> spell at the sky, and fired at the dragons flying around.

Emilia gave her instructions.

“Ledriano-kun, fall back for a bit! The effect of <Source-Enhancing Magic Balls Eorunes>are about to wear off!” (Emilia)

“Understood!” (Ledriano)

“Emilia…! They broke through from the front…! There are several coming at us!” Raos yelled.

A swarm of dragons pierced holes in the barrier, and charged in with their horns pointed forward.

They uprooted and fell many trees, and blew the students away.

“…They broke through the barrier again… But how in the world…? Eldmed-sensei didn’t say anything about this…” (Emiilia)

Despite her doubts, Emilia used <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias> to somehow neutralize the dragons that had entered the forest.

However, nearby trees fell down, creating dents inside the magic circle, and weakening the barrier.

There were people lurking in the shadows and providing assistance to the dragons.

“Again…?!” (Emilia)

Just as Emilia was about to immediately reinforce the barrier, the ground exploded, and a huge dragon appeared from the hole.

Its scales were dark green, and it was over 100 meters long.

That was an ancient dragon.

“Oh n—” (Emilia)

“Protect and heal, Sword of Holy Harbor Bailamente…!!!” (Ledriano)

Ledriano, whose source had been strengthened by the <Source-Enhancing Magic Balls Eorunes> spell, barely managed to hold off the dragon’s charge.

“Please fall back, Emilia! If we lose you, we’ll lose this battle!” (Ledriano)

Emilia jumped back using <Fless Flight>.

“I’m fine now! You need to fall back too, Ledria—?!” (Emilia)

At that moment, the ancient dragon opened its jaws wide, and sunk its fangs into Ledriano’s barrier.

That protection held out for a moment, but crumbled soon after, and the dragon’s fangs pierced Ledriano’s body.

The effect of <Source-Enhancing Magic Balls Eorunes> had worn off.

His blood dripped from the dragon’s fangs, staining the ground red. Then he fell limp inside the dragon’s mouth.

“LEDRIANO-KUN…!!” (Emilia)

The dragon swallowed Ledriano whole.

Once you were eaten by a dragon, nothing could revive you, not even with Eleonore’s <Resurrection Sanctuary Teo Ingall> spell.

Emilia’s Magic Eyes sparked, as if on fire. She grabbed a red orb that passed in front of her, absorbed it, and charged at the ancient dragon without hesitation.

“RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!” (Emilia)

The ancient dragon opened its jaws wide and released its scorching breath.

Emilia was clad in her <Dragon Binding Barrier De Jerias>, then used this sound barrier to withstand the fiery breath, and lunged at the beast using <Fless Flight>.

“SCREW YOU! Don’t you dare lay a finger on my students, you mangy beast…!!” Emilia screamed as she pushed the dragon’s scorching breath back before plunging into its maw.
