The Strongest Hero Was Raised By A Demon Lord

Reingard is a Kingdom where all races are legal to live alongside humans but not a demon because a long time ago, humans and beasts once have a severe history with the demon. They live as a unity but however human's power is strong to rule over Reingard as all who live in this kingdom must obey the law. King Alvis the Great III are the one who ruled over the empire for the time being. His majesty's generations had ruled over 187 years ago. The economy is quite going well and people live in harmony with beasts, elves, orge, wolfman, golem, witches, wizards, priests and so on.

Even though they live together, there is no guarantee that they will live a peaceful life. Even social problem and many cases happening in the kingdom are considered as normal existence for the communities. Such as robbery, theft, killing, raping, gangsterism, vandalism and so on. But no worry, that's a Hero jobs to perish all the evil deeds in this kingdom. Talking about hero actually, there is a school that is well-known, gigantic,and most likely a spot where all the brave hero was born. It was Hero Academy Center (H.A.C) which is at the east of Reingard Army based at 45 °. Basically, only those who are higher or rich family or have a talent for combat strength or anything like that could join the school. The academy really provides talented, powerful, faster, and brilliant warriors. Even the educators are all amongst the extraordinary hero of all.

And here I am, only an ordinary 15 years old girl with blonde long hair, quite skinny, a B cup size or maybe cheerful girl, raised by a demon of all demon. Damn this is too much for me. My name is Astaria Lylia, people often call me Lylia or Lia. So just for your information, I don't have both parents. I don't even know what's a mother like. I was told a rumor that she died to protect the people from being killed by a demon. They said she lost her life protecting the people behind her, and not let the demon touched a single hair of the citizen. They said she died cruelly. But I never really know what's really happen back then since I was still a little baby. Just a rumor okay. Anyways, here he is... the one who raised me as a hero even though he's a demon lol. He was called Lucifer Freinrer. Rumor said that he lives more than a thousand years. That's really crazy right? I didn't even know his age even though I lived with him.

As long as I remember, I was the only one can call him Luc-chan. What a cute name huh. He really mad when I call him that way. Everyone will be scared just by hearing his first name. Does he really that feared by anyone? Yet, he sure had a nice and cute side you know. But Luc-chan seldomly going out to the human world as he doesn't like it that much.

Luc-chan always tells me to train harder, study more, move forward and never give up. Luc-chan sometimes undeniably harsh to me but I know he's doing the best he can, so he could raise me. But also sometimes, I wondered why and how did Luc-chan found and raised me. Luc-chan sent me to the Hero Academy Center (H.A.C) when I reach my age at 7 years. That's when I first learn to study all the things about this regions society and meet various creatures.

I could say that the first time I entered the school, no one ever wanted to talk to me at first because they know about Luc-chan. They really scared of him. I heard rumors said he was worst than hell itself. But not anymore, because it's so rare to find any demon in Reingard other than Luc-chan. However, I successfully get to know a really nice friend. She's also my classmate. Her name is Aurora Raphtalia or her nickname Raph-chan. She's the youngest in her family. She is a human particularly and, she is the only friend I made up until now.

And here we are in the library. It was a large library made of stone. Yet, it has been decorated with multiple closets, several wooden and glass desks, wooden chairs, windows, bench and many other amenities. There is also a notice board in every corner of the library to indicate the news or any announcements. In the evening, there were a few other students in the library but they're all in silence as they're busy with their own stuff. The cupboards are filled with different types of books. Well, the library was very quiet this afternoon.

Everything went smoothly between the librarian and the other visitors. The sun begins to set outside the library window. She's just beside me. Raph-chan is a gorgeous, glossy and gentle, her white hair straight down to the center of her body, pretty blue eyes she had and she's also very gifted. I wanted to be like her. Raph-chan is stronger than me, she's completely different from her appearance compared to her absurd strength but, she's friendly. Raph-chan and I always do our revision in the library after school. The library had so numerous books like the sand at the seaside it's countless. You might think it's a paradise of book. Raph-chan is better at mathematical subjects and I always ask for her for help.

We are now on a wide glass table and getting ready to go home.

" Raph-chan, I think we should stop here. Thanks for your teaching lessons today hah hah. Let us walk home together. "

" You're right Lia-chan. Besides, tomorrow we got a physical combat test we should get home and have enough rest. "

" ahhh...I almost forgot about it. Hmmm alright looks like I couldn't even sleep well tonight. "

" Ehh? you're practicing with your Maou-sama(Luc-chan)again? It seems like, it's a part of your routine now isn't it? "

" I don't know if that was a compliment. Luc-chan wanted me to be an actual hero. How the hell I could reach like the top warrior, I'm tiny, not smart, and always clumsy you know that."

" Seeing you mad at him like this, sometimes it is fun ahhaah. That's a great thing you know. At least you have someone special awaiting you every day you walk home. I really believe someday you'll be a real hero in the future too. So keep it up. "

" Whatever you say Raph-chan. Let's go home already, or else the library warden will mad at us again like the other day. "

We laughed together.

Then Raph-chan and I walked home. On my way to go home, what a peaceful forest, fresh nature, smells of tranquil forests and rocky roads and rocky roads. Look at the orange sky, flying birds in the sky and the forest's insects began to make a sound that indicated the passing day all the way I walked. Anyways my house is just a few meters away. It's a hidden house in the middle of this forest. But it is very large and complete with rooms and appliances. My bedroom is upstairs while the living room is on the ground floor and next to the living room is a kitchen. Our house is made of lumber, iron or probably some of them are steel, stone, and some are fabric curtain. It had a large entrance, its glossy windows, and there is a shoe stand rack at the outside of our door. And what is decorating the exterior...was a garden filled with flowers of fresh and fragrant colors. Such a wonderful view isn't it. But it was all spoiled by this annoying guy.

From far away, standing a man with a fierce look waiting for my arrival at the main door. He is tall, looks like 25 years old but actually, he's too old(i don't know what is his real age), a sharp gaze, raw black long hair, whiter skin and wearing a black dark suit. That's suits him perfectly like a demon ahhahah. Nevertheless, it's Luc-chan(Lucifer Freinrer). Luc-chan always wait for me in front of the door house every time I'm back from the academy. He's trying to make sure that no one followed me to our home(now I feel like I'm a little child who needs parental guidance).

" Oiii STUPID LYLIA!!! Don't walk like a fatty player who wants to die. You better move faster or else you won't have any dinner tonight!!!. "

" I am not that stupid you PERVERT DUMBEST DEMON EVER!!! I'm 15 already, you don't have to shout at me. I'm already in front of you anyway!!! ".

"Go take a bath before we eat dinner now. "

" Bla bla blaa I know that you don't have to tell me to do so. I said I'm already 15, I know what to do. "

I walk even quickly and enter the entrance quickly. Then I take a shower. My bathroom is the first place I'll rush into right after I got back from school. There's a sliding door, bathtub, it smells good, also it was like a sauna. Luc-chan probably went to the kitchen as I went to the shower room. He is preparing our dinner since only both of us live here.

By the way, our home was located far from the school and it was really hidden in the Larac forest which was said that there is a phantom eating soul for those who asked for death, but it's actually didn't exist because the rumors were created to scared human, so they can't enter the jungle. While showering myself, I wonder what's our dinner tonight. Then Luc-chan suddenly open the sliding door while I was showering my body. I am actually shocked but my body didn't give any response. He glanced at me innocently for a while and said...

" How many times do I have to tell you to put your fishy smell school uniform outside the shower room door?!!!. It makes it easier to wash this if you put them outside. "

--------------*silent moments(I was stunned for a moment) I am still standing and showering my body as my eyes stare at Luc-chan, who is collecting my school uniform that I threw on the floor. Then he holds high his head looking at me as he wanted to tell something important.

" Ah, I almost forgot to tell you this. That your pinky bear underwear was blown away by a strong wind in the morning. I already looked for it everywhere... but I can't find that damn underwear of yours. So, I get a new one that has a similar pattern to yours. They are on your desk. You can thank me later. " He just said it without any humiliation!

My face turns on red as I blushed because of his innocent glanced at me, and tell me those things while I was taking a shower. I shouted forcefully to him!!!!

" Get out of here you STUPIDEST PERVERT OLD DEMON !!!!!!!!!!! "

That pervert Luc-chan ignored me and he just left like that. I barely explode from my embarrassment. And I angrily take the shower. This is really embarrassing. I swear that from this moment, I'll crush him if he's trying to do something embarrassing to me like this again. I'm so red right now.

After that, we're having dinner together. Luc-chan call for me to the dining room and eat. Luc-chan always cook delicious, malicious, and voilà foods. Based on my opinion, he could even beat those master chefs in the world. His food always makes my stomach full of energizing impact.

" Because Luc-chan's cooking never disappoints me. So,I forgive what you've done earlier ." I said that while chewing the fried prawn. Yum yum.

"I've never done something wrong you troublesome little Lylia. Quickly finish the dinner and continue your training. I heard that you're going to have your second physical combat test this year on tomorrow right?. So, don't waste any moments. I'm going to introduce you to a technique on how to kill a hero later on. "Said the gloomy faced Luc-chan.

" Ehh? Kill a hero? How's that supposed to be mean? Don't say it out of nowhere...moreover did you just bluntly said a technique to kill a hero? but, I'll be a hero one day after all."

" Yes I did, and please stop visualize any unpleasant things. I was about to teach you how a demon can withstand the skilled hero. I know what's on your mind Lylia, you think you never had a chance to beat them?. You're actually strong as long as you're not beating them."

" What do you mean by 'as long as you're not beating them' ? Can I really win against them by not beating them?"

" Humans really sucks, you don't have to beat someone to win the worthless fight. As long as you're not falling down, that's what makes you stronger than them. "

I'm wondering, what is Luc-chan's word means. Hmm, better I quickly finished my dinner, and change my outfit to get ready for the practice.Luc-chan is using the usual stick to teach me how to use a sword.

" Listen Lylia, here is the part where the weak can be strong and the strong can be weak. As usual, make them exhausted from mana first. In the late match, I'm sure they'll use all of their left strength. So watch carefully their steps, learn their movements, avoid their attacks, move faster than the opponent and retreat faster than the opponent at that moment. Once the opponent is charging at you ...."

Luc-chan suddenly disappeared in front of me as he leaves a great wave and the branch swinging hit my back neck. It hurts my back neck somehow. The atmosphere shifts to be silent at the moment. That motion looks like a silent instant killer move and very dangerous as it appears behind ones.

" Heiii, it's hurting me Luc-chan. Auchhh look what you've done to my neck. " I said this while rubbing the hurt spot.

" That's when you use your trump card Lylia. Teleport & Finishing blow. "

" For real?!!!? "

This is a bit shocking. Luc-chan really teach me a real combat this time. I couldn't describe how it feels like. His face really serious about teaching me those movements earlier. It has been a long time ago,Luc-chan never teach me about a real fighting in the battle. All he ever taught was to deflect as long as I can and attack when chances come which when the opponent exhausted of mana. That's why I only expert in teleporting a short area and hit a finishing blow. Both of these skills required a little amount of mana. Have I mentioned earlier about I'm weak in terms of using magic? This is because of my illness. I'll explain it later. Anyways ....

" Seems that your only skill in teleporting short-range and charge your opponent. I've just mixed it into a combo. It should be okay for you. I would like to name that dangerous skill ....Death Back Step !!! "

" Wowww that's sound like an awesome move!!!!! , like the assassin's action, but I think I'm going to change that weird name." I literally dislike the name made by Luc-chan.

" Huh, do as you like. Anyway, what you're learning today is all for REAL ....I want you to read my movement in our battle. It'll going to be hard. I'll give you some advantages.... so I'll use only left-handed and I'm not using my magic. But the intense had the same aura of killing a hero. So, let's get started if you don't have any questions. "

" Ehhhh, you always told me to read your move. Well, I understand. Sir, yes sir. " I guess I just have to follow what he instructs me to do.

Soon as Luc-chan was the one who make the first move, I was astonished and couldn't move or breathe. He said something about the aura of killing a hero was real. I could feel his dark aura even we are far away and didn't even move. So this is the real battle huh. Then, slowly the aura fades away. Finally, I could experience some of your serious mode Luc-chan. Then I take a deep breath and stand fit, I give my all to attack Luc-chan. That's when the real training begins.

" That's really ....awesome Luc-chan"

I continue my training after that. I repeatedly attack and attack Luc-chan but Luc-chan always avoid. He avoids at the same time he could attack me. Actually he already slap my face 34 times in just 15 minutes of our training. He's really ridiculous, how could I catch up his movement. His too fast even the Nanaryu rank also hasn't learned these. Ahhh talking about rank this is how our Heroes Academy Center system is. The student has their own level and rank in any types of heroes. There are types of heroes such as support, mages, tankers, assassins, fighters and paladin. Not just that, they could also carry a mixed type or semi type of any role. However, rank is on top of everything. Role doesn't matter but the ranks. There are 6 ranks by the way. The lowest rank is rank Yiryu , rank Sanryu, rank Goryu , rank Nanaryu, rank Eiryu and the highest is Kamiryu. Know what? I am just a Goryu rank.

Here is how it works. Those who beat the opponent above them will get the rank the same as the opponent. While the opponent will only lose some points and not getting demoted. All students are given 100 points for starter and when they won a duel or any matches their point will increase. I am Goryu rank my point was at 561p. I must protect my point and never lose to someone. That's also the reason Luc-chan always warned me to not accept or challenge any duel in order to keep the points. And I am not dueled as long as it is not for the exam. So, that's a little story about how was the H.A.C system schools are. But don't mistake for this, we also learn the subjects in class like normal people do. Plus, we are illegal to attack others if the opponent didn't accept or challenge a duel.

As I attack using a wooden sword on Luc-chan, I suddenly remember about Raph-chan said about "...At least you have someone special awaiting you every day you walk home...",hmmm I think too much of who'd be Luc-chan special person, am I special to him?or what? While I keep swinging my wooden sword with an empty mind, he suddenly disappear again and my body seems to react on its own. I force to swing my back and turn around to evade the blind spotted sudden attack from Luc-chan. That moment Luc-chan seems to be surprised by the way my body reacted to his action then he jumped far away from me.

" Interesting Lylia, now you've warmed up your body. Did you understand the situation just now? "

" Eh? What is it? "

I was thinking about what happened and begin to understand. I opened my eyes widely then...

" Luc-chan, attack me this time for real!!!. "

" Well, whether you understand or not, here's the spell I said to you again... "

While he attack me left-handed with a stick, he said those spell that until I won't forget the spell's word. Actually it was a strategy.

" Watch your opponent's steps, learn their movements, catchup the speed, attack faster than your opponent and retreat even faster than your opponent....."

He repeatedly tells me that words in the whole of my training session with him. Until midnight, I was so tired and all I could remember is when I use my trump card. I certainly sure that I teleported to Luc-chan's behind but I miss my finishing blow onto a vase at the wide yard behind the house where we practice. Now, I'm on my bed, couldn't do anything even to raise up a muscle. I fell asleep nicely that night. Luc-chan always had something to do in the main room, so sometimes he read the newspaper or cleaning the houses and wash my cloth ahhahahahahha.

Up until now, I think my classmate is also practicing for the physical exam tomorrow. Same goes to Raph-chan, she's not just smarter in academics, but she is also stronger you know. Hope Raph-chan and I together as a team that beat them all with our strength. I hope all of us could get a good result and be a brave Hero in the future to save the world.
