My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 4. Growing the warriors (6)

Tori Auss and Urca, who visited Pretium at the Emperor’s invitation, felt a chaotic atmosphere from the entrance.

“I’ll check in a bit and come back.”

“Okay.”

The two of them get off the carriage and move to the source of confusion.

When I reached the place where Incuro, Ella, and Harbito fought, I opened my mouth.

“Serious.”

Very ruins.

Not even a trace remained. There were only black bloodstains left on the floor.

“What happened?”

Tori approached the Imperial Knights guarding the scene and asked.

“A few days ago, Mr. Incuro and Mr. Ella dealt with a corps commander-level demon in the capital.”

“What?”

Urca’s head turned around as she sniffed the turbulent smell of blood.

“A corps commander level?”

“Yes. He was told that he was a blood magician. He said his name was ‘Habito,’ but it was a demonic name I had never heard of before.”

“…… The order must have changed in the Demon Realm. There, the strong get a chance to become a corps commander.”

Tori was right.

In fact, for the demons, strength was power.

As long as he was strong, he was an existence that could do anything.

The same was true of the position of corps commander.

There was a case where a demon who belonged to the corps defeated the corps commander and became the corps commander himself.

“So what about the corpse?”

“I couldn’t kill him. He said he had his butt removed. If you have two S-class adventurers, it seems like a corps commander-level is worth trying.”

‘No, it can’t be.’

Urca disapproved of the article he spat out without thinking, and denied it inwardly.

The fact that the capital city has anti-demon magic is a fact known to all residents of Pretium.

‘To have suffered this much damage despite fighting under Anti-Magic Magic must be seen as a struggle. It must have been quite overworked.’

“By the way, Elarani. Are you referring to Ella, a retired S-class adventurer? I haven’t heard that she was infected with Magi last year and has recovered until now?”

“I heard she was cured a few days ago.”

Tori and Urca opened their eyes wide at the story of being cured.

I was surprised by the news that even a competent healer had cured Magi, which couldn’t be pulled out.

“How many days ago?”

“Yes. I don’t know the details, but I haven’t heard it either. According to Incuro-sama’s statement, she uses her body well and emits magic well.”

“…… I need to hear the story.”

There have been only two cases in history where demons could be cured.

One was to heal with the power of a saint who appeared in the past, and the other was to take out demonic energy with a stone of purification.

However, the saintess had already died, and the stones of purification were all destroyed during the First World War.

That’s why there was no way to heal demonic energy at the moment, but that method was invented.

“Once you get it. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go, Urca.”

“Yes.”

The two left the scene and moved to the carriage.

“It’s been a while since I came to the capital, and I hear all the news from the stars.”

“Definitely. It is.”

The two sighed and scratched their heads.

“Ella, I sincerely congratulate you on your return.”

“I haven’t come back yet. Your Highness Chris.”

Even though Ella had been confined to bed for a while, her manners were not rusted.

The height of his voice, the grace of holding a teacup, and even eating a cookie seemed very natural and noble.

Prince Chris, who saw that, admired inwardly.

‘How can such a pitiful and innocent woman be an S-class adventurer? She still can’t believe it. It is said that the Todia family is a family that produces strong people from generation to generation, but…….’

“So may I hear the reason you called today?”

It was Ella’s voice that woke him up from his thoughts.

“Oh, nothing special. I called because I was curious about how I got better and how I would work in the future.”

“I don’t think I can tell you the details of the treatment right away.”

A purification stone was something everyone coveted.

There is no way to get rid of demons in the current era, and

Her position was that if the crown prince, who was in a higher position than herself, gave an order, she would have no choice but to surrender.

That’s why I tried to hide it as much as possible.

“And future activities…… I plan to postpone it for a bit.”

“Is there a reason?”

“…… I am trying to find someone.”

“People?”

“Yes. He is a very important person to me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to exist in Pretium.”

“Who are you? If you just tell me, I will search all over the empire and find you.”

“It’s okay. You already know where you are.”

She put the teacup down and smiled softly.

Actually, if it wasn’t for the prince’s call, she would have immediately left the capital and met ‘that person’.

I had already paid the price to Secret Garden to find out all the information about that person, including his name, appearance, and where he lived.

“I see. It was unintentional, but it took your time.”

“No, Your Highness.”

“Then I won’t have time to meet my sister.”

His sister.

I meant the princess.

“Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. There will be a day when we can meet, so I promise that time.”

“Yes. Got it. If you need anything, let me know right away.”

“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I’ll just go away.”

Ella got up from her seat and bent her back slightly.

Raising her upper body again, she made eye contact with Chris and turned her around with a slight smile.

It was then.

Smart. A knock echoed through the room.

“Come in.”

It was a middle-aged man with graying gray hair.

The clean formal attire he was wearing was somewhat different from modern suits, but gave off a luxurious atmosphere.

He was an attendant who had taken care of the prince from childhood until now.

“Excuse me.”

“What is it?”

“Your Highness, Duke Tori and Urca, an S-class adventurer, have visited.”

He maintained a dignified posture and spoke of his business in a calm tone.

“…… Urca?”

When the name of an unexpected person was mentioned, Ella’s eyes shook busily.

“I see. Please come in.”

“Okay. We will notify you immediately.”

Even at the moment of leaving, Ella inadvertently thought to herself, ‘I’m really tired.’

Tak.

As soon as the door closed, Ella looked straight at Chris.

“Your Highness, why did you call Urca here?”

Ella was taken aback.

It was not uncommon for other races to be called into the imperial family.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time S-class Urca had visited the imperial family.

As an escort, I came with the Duke of Tori several times, and I personally had an audience with the emperor.

However, in an empire that excludes other races, there was no doubt that bringing another race into the imperial family was still an act of considerable repulsion.

“…… Do you know about the formal sparring that took place in Aus City?”

“Yes. I did.”

Ella answered vaguely.

“They say Urca lost. To an unknown person.”

“Are you talking about S-class Urka?”

“Yes. I called myself to hear more about it.”

Ella already knew who defeated Urca.

It was because she had spent hundreds of gold to get the information in the Secret Garden to find that person.

‘This is your chance to hear more about him. The secret garden’s information is reliable, but there’s nothing better than hearing it from the person in question.’

“Your Highness, if you’re not rude, may I listen with you?”

“… Ah, you are also an S-class adventurer. Since he defeated someone of his own class, he must be curious.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Good. Let’s listen together.”

Chris readily agreed.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Not long after, Duke Tori and Urca enter the drawing room.

“Welcome. You have come all the way.”

“No, Your Highness.”

“It’s been a while. Majesty.”

“It’s been a while since Urca.”

“Have you been well?”

Inside he sharpens a knife, but on the outside he smiles.

This was the first expression Urca learned from Tori. He said that the basics of politics is to never reveal one’s true intentions.

“Yes. Everyone must have a lot to say, so let’s sit down first.”

“But…… May I ask how Grand Duchess Ella is here?”

At Tori’s question, Urca looked at Ella.

Ella also sees Urca.

It was an exchange of glances as if sparks were flying in the air.

“Ella, didn’t you search?”

“…… It seems that Urca is still breathing well.”

Ella usually doesn’t care about other races, but she reacts sensitively to beings who don’t know manners.

In particular, Ella despised those who, like Incuro and Urca, had similar abilities to hers but couldn’t understand the difference in social status and just walked out.

“Now I must have far more demon achievements than you?”

“hahahaha, don’t you think of the high-ranking demons I’ve killed so far? Don’t be flattered that you caught a few insignificant demons.”

Because it was in front of the Crown Prince and the Duke of Aus, she swallowed the curse inwardly and spoke as purely as possible. She didn’t forget to put a smile on her face.

“It’s still the same, scratching people,”

“Isn’t that the same for you? I heard you lost in official Dalian again this time? It’s also S-class.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I lost.”

“… Huh?”

I was puzzled by Urca, who accepted it so meekly.

The sense of self-respect and pride of not wanting to lose to others were things Urca could never take away.

Even if it wasn’t for her, this was a tendency that all S-class adventurers, who are said to be at the top of the empire, had.

For Ella, who was well aware of that, her reaction was very unexpected.

“He is such a wonderful and good person. Should I say he comes to admire it just by looking at it.”

“What…… ?”

While Ella is stunned by Urca’s words, her interest rises over the prince’s face.

“Oh, to the extent that Urca, an S-class adventurer, would admit it. Where can I hear from you?”

“I will explain that part, Your Highness.”

Duke Tori, who sat across from the prince, said. Urca stood next to him with her hands behind her back and assumed the role of escort.

She acted because she was aware that she was not in a position to be sick with a prince or a duke.

Ella, who brought a chair, also sits in front of the table. After getting ready to listen to her, she looks at Tori.

“Then, first of all, the background of the fight…… Let me explain.”

* * *

In this way, the things that happened while Prause and his party were in Aus began to come out of Duke Tori’s mouth.

As the story progressed, joy appeared on Chris and Ella’s faces, which soon turned into amazement.

“It was a much stronger being than what I heard in rumors.”

As soon as Duke Tori’s mouth stopped, the prince spoke.

“Why did such a person appear now?”

“I don’t know about that, but what is clear is that you should never turn him into an enemy. Prausu, his strength must be at a level where he can defeat the demon corps commander alone.”

“That means…… Is it a ‘hero’?”

At Chris’s question, those present held their breath.

When the prince directly mentioned the number of cases that had been dismissed as possibilities, no one could answer.

The strength and magic far beyond that of an S-class adventurer.

The only person who could have it was the hero from the legend.

The guesses in their heads became certain, like a puzzle piece.

It has become an unbelievable reality.

“They say that when a demon king is born, a hero is also born.”

“Then who will save the world from the demons… ….”

“Yes. He…… You are a warrior.”

‘Prause… Warrior…… !’

Urca was genuinely impressed,

‘Yes, if you’re a hero, it makes sense that you found the Stone of Purification.’

Ella smiled meaningfully,

‘A warrior…… How am I supposed to use someone stronger than an S-class adventurer?’

Chris wondered if he could make Prause on his side,

‘With him, I might really be able to free other races from slavery.’

Tori expected.

The four of you no longer had the slightest doubt.

I fixed my thoughts as if the fact that Prause was a hero was an established fact.

Not knowing that it was all a miscalculation.

Meanwhile, while the high-ranking nobles were mistaken, Prause, as usual, was yawning carelessly as he watched the passing clouds without thinking.

‘Ah…… I want to see porn.’
