Demon Lord's Reincarnation 230 Studen

"The holy war?" Afeus asked, which made Mia's eyes look like they were sparkling.

"Yes, the time when all the races banded together to face one common enemy, the incredibly powerful Demon Lord Kretos." When Mia said those words, she could suddenly feel a tremendous amount of bloodlust that was unlike any other she has felt before.

Kretos was getting really irritated by this woman straying far away from the topic. He just wanted to know more about his past. Not learn of a past of somebody with a similar name as him. Not to mention when Mia said that all the races banded together made Kretos feel doubly irritated, not only that his head started to hurt as he felt like it would explode.

"Will you shut up already! I don't give a sh*t about this different Kretos's life story! What I want to know is who the f*ck am I?! Can you answer this or not?!" Kretos didn't understand why he was so irritated. But at the moment all he knew was this anger that was swelling up inside of him. Since he has nothing at the moment this was his everything.

"Professor, how come nobody is coming, even though Kretos is releasing such absurd amounts of mana?" Afeus asked while not looking way from Kretos who was holding his head while looking really pissed off.

"Since my experiments in creating some new spell formations were deemed too dangerous, they wanted me to quit. So I surrounded my whole place with a warding spell formation so no one could sense anything in this direction."

Even though they were in a dire situation, the Professor and student still had the time to talk like the threat before them was nothing. In fact, Afeus wasn't really that scared of Kretos or dying in this situation. He was instead excited to see what kind of thing Kretos was going to do next using that enormous mana pool of his.

Mia was also quite interested in what's happening to Kretos. Yet unlike Afeus who was sure that he might die, Mia was a bit confident in her ability to survive. Though it was obvious that Kretos was far stronger than her, her ability with illusions might help her survive.

Still, even if she doesn't survive, just being able to witness what was happening before her very eyes, made her feel like giving her life was an equal trade.

It was true what they said, the mages of the Serbek Kingdom were truly insane. Though most mages were already pretty insane the Serbek Kingdom mages put that on a whole other level. Most mages would do almost anything to witness more regarding the truths of the world. But they still retained some form of common sense.

Yet most of the mages of the Serbek Kingdom have discarded that so called common sense. Even their belief was against such things. 'There is no such thing as common sense, there is only the truth hidden within the abyss.' So to most of the Serbek Kingdom mages, to have even a tiny glimpse beyond the abyss was worth everything.

...

Kretos closed in and held his hand out to the weirdly smiling Mia, but as he was about to grab her he shifted his hand to the side. Afeus was confused as to why Kretos suddenly grabbed empty air. But in a moment he finally understood why.

Another Professor Mia was now being gripped by Kretos. The other Professor Mia that was standing beside him disappeared.

"Heh, how did you know?" Even though she was being handled roughly by Kretos, Mia still retained that smile of hers. She then saw Kretos's eyes and was pleasantly surprised. "You can see the flow of mana, right?" Kretos then tightened the grip on Mia's neck.

"I already said to shut the f*ck up with all these extra things that I don't need to know. Just tell me do you know who I am or not? Do you have any clues at all?"

This person that was trying to attack her looked to be aggressive, powerful and dangerous. But his eyes were conveying different things. Irritation, anger, confusion, desperations, and many more. Mia couldn't help but feel even more curious as to what kind of man was in front of her, trying to kill her.

"...I..." Kretos noticed that Mia was trying to say something and loosened his grip. Once Kretos's grip loosened, the sudden flow of air made Mia cough, before she was able to answer.

"I may not know who you are at the moment, due to the few clues we have. But I have an idea. There's a tournament that will be held a few weeks from now. The representatives of other Kingdoms will come, well except for the people of Reschbeauch and some other nearby Kingdoms. But they're not really important since based on your name and the description in your memories you most likely aren't from any of those places. Also even if no one knows who you are in the tournament if you win it and gain fame from it. Surely someone you know would hear about you from the rumors and stories you would produce once you win the tournament. The more famous you are, the easier for your acquaintances, companions, friends, or whoever to know where you are. Well, there's the risk of your enemies knowing as well, but I'm sure you don't care about that."

"Alright... So what's your idea?" Kretos was once again getting a bit impatient.

"If you join the tournament where a lot of important people from different kingdoms will gather. Maybe one of them will recognize you."

"I see... Since I have nothing else I can do at the moment, I'll do as you suggest. So how do I go about joining this tournament?" Kretos who was releasing that suffocating amount of mana finally calmed down as he put Mia down.

Afeus who was listening on the side was thinking about what tournament Mia was talking about. He was so busy with his exams and doing his personal research that he was unsure what this tournament was. But then he finally remembered the one tournament they held every three years.

"Wait, Professor, you don't mean that tournament. But isn't that tournament reserved for students?" While Mia was touching her neck, while circling her head she looked at Afeus and answered.

"Yup that's the tournament I'm talking about."

"How are you going to let Kretos join the tournament?... He isn't a student." Mia couldn't help but look at Afeus as if she was looking at an idiot.

"Didn't you already give out the answer. The only people that can join the tournament are students. So, of course, the answer is to make Kretos into a student."
