Level 99 Villainous Daughter -
Volume 1 Chapter 8
After school, the teacher informed me that the principal summoned me, so I went to the academy’s drawing-room . What does that old man want? Perhaps he bought the story about me as the Demon King .
But the man who was waiting in the drawing-room wasn’t the old man whom I had expected .
「Nice to meet you, Yumiela-san . My name is Ronald, and I’m the new academy principal . 」
「Nice to meet you too, my name is Yumiela Dolknes . Ano, where’s the former principal? 」
「Due to some circumstances, the old principal decided to retire . You don’t need to worry about it since you won’t see him again . 」
Said the new principal, Ronald, smiling sweetly . Compared to his predecessor, he’s very young . He looks like in his thirty .
His smile looks fake; it’s the kind of smile you use to give someone a sense of security, and he’s quick to give it .
「I came to the school under her Majesty’s orders . You can rest assured that I know about the rumored Demon King . 」
It looks like he was the person that the Queen was speaking about . For him to know about the Demon King’s revival, it implies that he has his Majesty’s trust .
「I was troubled with Prince Edwin too . To talk about state secrets in the presence of the general public… It will be a disaster . 」
s
I thought about the present situation where almost every student in the academy physically avoiding me . Ronald keeps on speaking with a bitter look on his facial expression .
「And I can’t say that his Highness has a quick temper . How should I put it… Recently, he’s been having a temper and grouchy? Those two guys that usually support him are the same . 」
「What happened to them? 」
Something that made them unstable must’ve happened recently . Most likely, it was because of me .
「Hahaha, why did you say that?
Well, let’s talk about their situation . His Highness and his two friends didn’t have any problem . He had been an excellent child and was ahead of his peers . At the same time, he had high self-esteem; it didn’t really have a bad effect on him since he never knows defeat .
Then, a person who can destroy their pride appeared . And they didn’t want to admit it . They think someone who can defeat themselves as the Demon King, just to make it bearable in their mind . 」
As I thought, is it because of me?
I know the situation that happens is very different from the game scenario .
I didn’t expect things would go according to the scenario, but if it changed from the beginning, there might be more or less significant impact .
「I could understand their situation, but how about all the students that become afraid of me? 」
「Once the rumor spread, it’s almost impossible to get rid of it . The official will deny the story about the Demon King’s revival, and there will be many who still believe it .
You better remember that it’s impossible to wipe out the rumor about you as well . Not that I deny the credibility of your strength . And some people in the royal palace fear that you’re a dangerous person . 」
Well, I can see from their perspective, I’m a mystery person with Level 99 that suddenly appeared .
「I don’t think there are many people who don’t fear you . Even I was a little afraid of you . 」
Without showing any sign of fear, the principal said that . Now I’m the one that afraid of his never-ending scary smile .
「Ah, rest assured your Majesty knows that you aren’t the Demon King . 」
When he said that, it was so sure that there was no question from the beginning, his Majesty thinks that Demon King’s revival will occur in two years after .
Was there any solid evidence that I’m not the Demon King?
「Does the royal family know the details about the Demon King? 」
「No comment . 」
He answered with a more profound smile . Are you implicitly saying yes?
Principal Ronald has been around in Prince Edwin’s childhood, and he is well-versed with the information that is only available to his Majesty’s thought and the leaders of the country .
Maybe when he was young, he had a prominent position . It is also bothering me when he didn’t use his family name in his self-introduction .
s
I was wondering who he was, and he seems able to look through someone’s head .
「I’m just an academy principal . I’ll also be your liaison to his Majesty .
If you have any questions to ask your Majesty, you can ask . Depending on your question, you can get an answer quickly . 」
Saying that I might get the answer immediately means that he is authorized to have an audience with the King and have its own discretion . Ah, he’s really someone in a higher position after all .
「You are a human being, not just a weapon . The Queen was very worried about you . It will make my job a lot easier . 」
I was like he was rereading my thoughts, I don’t answer, and my facial expression didn’t change .
Uh, I don’t like this person… What if he found out about the secret of my previous life?
「Now, let’s talk about the future .
Today’s primary purpose is to get acquainted, so when the need arises, we can work seamlessly . I wanted you to go to the field practice and managed it from the side . 」
Field practice is basically leveling up . Thinking about the students’ safety, the academy gave them a solution to hunt monsters safely .
I wonder if I will help to assist Prince Edwin and friends raising their level for the Demon King subjugation .
「Hai, I understand . Will I help to support his Highness? 」
「No, that’s not your job . You will take part in a different party from his Highness . 」
It was odd, and he begins to question me .
「On the other hand, can you cooperate and fight together with them? 」
Ah, so he was going to ask that .
「If it’s a problem; it needs to be solved at some point . It’s hard to get along right away . 」
As it is, we will not be able to defeat the Demon King together . First, they have to realize that I’m an ally and I’m on their side .
「Okay . But I had trouble with the grouping . 」
It’s obvious which one that will be selected, the group with the popular prince or group with someone rumored to be the Demon King .
s
「I’m going to divide the group using the usual way . I will divide it into central nobles and local nobles . So, you’ll be in the local group . 」
「That’s a broad way to divide the group . 」
「There’s a good reason for it . The central nobles and the local nobles had a big difference in their motivations to leveling up . 」
I understand, there are a few central nobles who proactive in their endeavors to level up . After graduating from the academy, many of them will be succeeded the family or became government officials . There are a few advantages, no matter how high your level is .
On the other hand, the local nobles, particularly those with a small territory, used to deal with the monsters on their territory by themselves . The son who didn’t succeed in the family often became a soldier .
「Is it fine to group his Highness with such an unmotivated group? 」
「I’m planning to raise their level to level 40 in two years . 」
I’m unsure how you can fight against the Demon King at level 40 . Even the suitable level in the game was 60-70 .
「Level 40… I’d like you to raise the level to 60 or so . 」
「Commander Adolf level 60? It’s impossible in two years . 」
U—uhh, is it the best to raise their level to 40?
Well, with my support, it will be fine .
「I understand . What exactly should I do? 」
「I would like to ask you to lead the emergency support together with the teachers . It rarely happens, but the place is in the forest on the outskirts of the royal capital . 」
The forest in the suburb of the royal capital is the first stage location in the game . All the monsters there look weak . I don’t think I’ll need to do help with anything .
「I just want to watch the battle without doing anything . 」
「That’s right . I heard that your leveling up method is quite odd, please don’t do anything strange? 」
Oh my, what’s wrong with my leveling method? Maybe it is strange fighting alone without wearing protection charm .
It’s normal to blow the monster summoning flute, right?
