I Was Born With A Demon Lord Inside Of Me, Who Wants To Kill

Chapter 83: Battle Academy

Rekka and his friends were lying on the grass in hot summer. Sora was wearing his shirt on his head.

-Man, this heat is going to kill me. – He said while wiping off his sweat.

-Same here. – Kaito was lying beside him.

They looked at Rekka and Maeko training.

-Aren’t those two tired? – Asked Sora.

Kaito was too exhausted to answerer. Rekka pointed his finger towards his hand, asking the girl to punch him. Maeko nodded her head, took a pose and punched without holding back. It hit Rekkas face and he got knocked away. Kaito and Sora burst out laughing.

-Are you okay Rekka? – Asked nervous Maeko.

-Ouch, your punch hurts! – Said Rekka and stood up.

-Thanks, I guess. – Maeko made an awkward smile.

They knew that soon, their lives would drastically change. A couple of days later, Rekka talked to Whitebolt.

-Can I enroll in the Battle Academy? – Asked Rekka in a quiet tone. He was worried about Whitebolt answer.

-Hmm. – Whitebolt started thinking – I don’t know.

-Please! I won’t get hurt and learn like a proper student. There are other demi humans there too, so I won’t get discriminated.

-I wasn’t talking about that Rekka. – Whitebolt sat down – There, children will be weak compared to you. You already have more that 22.000 PL, and kids there will have 500.

Whitebolt looked at Rekkas sad face. He thought it over again.

-Fine, but try not to hurt anyone or show off too much, okay? – He kindly smiled.

-Of course! – Rekka was relieved. He trained extremely hard that day.

Whitebolt went to the Battle Academy to check the place out. It was a giant school outside the main city grounds. He went to the academy’s gate.

-Can I enter? – He asked.

A guard protecting it looked over.

-Whitebolt-san! You may, just be careful.

He opened the gates. The academy consisted of multiple building.

-It’s like a small town in here.

Kids were running around. Some of them were training. A teacher approached Whitebolt.

-Whitebolt-kuun! – He shouted as he approached him.

Startled Whitebolt looked over.

-Ichiro-kun. – Whitebolt smiled – Long time no see.

-How are you? Where have you been lost all this time! Shouldn’t you be in contact with your past friends?

-I was busy. – Said Whitebolt in a slightly annoyed tone.

-Of course you were. – Ichiro giggled – What brings you here?

-I was just looking around. – Whitebolt made a serious face – I’m planning to enroll Rekka here. You’ve met him once.

-Oh, I remember. So?

-Is it safe here?

-Of course it is! Look around. Guards are watching over every inch of the academy. Plus, we teachers are here too. Want me to help you explore the place?

-Sure. – Whitebolt followed him.

He was amazed at the students. They have properly grasped the basics of magic. After a long tour, Whitebolt left, assured of Rekkas safeness when enrolling him there.

*two months later*

-It’s time. – Said Sora.

-Tomorrow, we will shine. – Kaito was confident in himself.

-We shall pass the entrance exams! – Rekka started throwing fireballs in the air and exploding them like fireworks.

The kids were amazed, especially Maeko. That day, they revisited the basics and got ready for the upcoming day.

-Let’s gather here tomorrow, so we can all go together at the academy. – Said Maeko.

-Sure, but we need to be early then. – Said Kaito.

They all agreed. Rekka went to the mansion. Whitebolt greeted him.

-Rest well today, tomorrow is a big day.

-I will! – Answered Rekka, ate and went to sleep.

The next day came along. Rekka was pumped up. He quickly dressed and ran downstairs. He ate as fast as he could.

-Good luck. – Said a couple of maids with a smile.

Rekka nodded his head and ran out. Whitebolt watched over him.

-I hope he doesn’t get in trouble. – He giggled and walked back inside.

Rekka ran through the streets. There were many kids heading towards the academy too. This made Rekka even more excited. He arrived at the park and started looking around for his friends. He only met Sora.

-Sora! – He shouted.

He noticed Rekka and approached him.

-Ready for the big event? – He asked.

-I sure am! – Answered Rekka with a smile.

-Hey Rekka, I want to try something before others arrive.

-Hm? – Rekka got intrigued.

With a serious face, Sora said.

-Fight me.

-What? – Rekka was confused.

-Not seriously. I just want to see the difference between us.

After the accident with Noriko, fighting was very enjoyable for Rekka, he agreed on one condition, to not hurt each other. Sora agreed. They took positions. Rekka didn’t create a sword.

-*Tsk* He isn’t taking me seriously. I’ll show him. – Thought Sora – Here I come!

Sora attacked with a punch. Rekka just moved aside. Sora attacked with kicks and punches, empowering his attacks with strength magic. Rekka had a smile on his face. This irritated Sora, and he became more rough. He couldn’t land a single hit.

-Damn, no! – Thought Sora – No, no…

Rekka dodged one punch, and set his fist on fire. Before he his Sora, he stopped and giggled.

-That was a nice fight! Let’s wait for others now.

-Sure. – Said Sora in a depressed voice – We are the same age, but the gap in skill. - Thought he saddened boy. 

Rekka noticed Sora was down, but he just thought he was nervous. After ten minutes, everyone gathered.

-Let’s go! – Kaito hit his hand..

-Good luck everyone. – Said Maeko.

They all headed towards the Battle Academy with high hopes.
