Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

The "Forest of Peace" spreads out around the Hero Academy. The forest is shrouded in darkness at night, and black figures gather in the darkness.

A man hidden in the shadows of the forest walked towards where the moonlight was shining.

"Is everyone here?" the man wearing a strange octopus mask asked the forest shrouded in darkness.

"Yes!" came a concise answer from the forest.

"Are we really going to destroy the Hero Academy?"

"Is it okay even if we kill them all?" Then, the forest asked a sharp question, and the man wearing the octopus mask nodded slowly.

"You must be feeling very frustrated, hiding all the time, just jump and play to your heart's content." Their identities are none other than humans who are in the process of becoming demons. No, they are already humans who are demons.

“I never thought there would be a day like this.”

"Damn it. There are priests everywhere I go lately. It's so depressing."

"Yes. I heard from the Knights that the priest was coming, and I ran away immediately." Ever since the discovery of humans turning into demons in the city of Trafalgar, the priests of the kingdom have begun to take active action.

Thanks to them, those who gained the power of the demons had to hide in dark places, and those who were active had to abandon everything and escape.

Driven to despair by depression and despair, have the demons decided to fight back? The dark forest is filled with an inexplicable murderous aura.

"If we start hastily, it will only result in unnecessary casualties. We should wait quietly for the guys who sneaked into the academy to give the signal." Do you feel the anger?

The man wearing the octopus mask seemed to be trying to calm them down and control their murderous intent.

Fortunately, at his signal, the excitement of the people hiding in the darkness subsided, and their bloodshot eyes quietly looked up at the sky.

Then the man in the octopus mask looked at the brightly lit ball building and grinned.

"This will be the last party, enjoy it. The climax of the party hasn't even started yet."

Wow! Thanks to the duel between Mathias and Lawley, the atmosphere in the venue became even more heated.

"Monster! Monster! Monster!"

"Seniors! So cool!"

"Senior Lawley! I want to join the Knights of Ryan like you did!"

"Matthias! The pride of the second grade!" After the fierce duel, the winner was Matthias wearing a monster mask.

"After visiting the walls of Eloksam, Senior Mathias's strength has greatly increased." After the duel, Cardin realized that his clenched fists were sweating.

The duel between Mathias and Lawley was enough to make people tremble with fear. A duel without any restrictions. The duel was more intense like a real battle, and people had to hold their breath as the offense and defense went on.

Not only Cardin, but everyone else also watched the duel very attentively.

"Wow, it really is a matter of life and death."

"Do I have to achieve that level to become the next guardian and proudly pass the selection of the Knights of Ryan?"

"I just took a look and got soaked all over." The other students also watched the duel nervously and only breathed a sigh of relief after it was over.

"I want to leave the academy..."

"There are too many monsters in the world."

“How can we survive in a place like this?” Some students, like the three talkative first-year students, sighed as they felt the huge wall.

During this time, Mathias and Lawley, who had a wonderful duel, shook hands with each other and walked off the stage. There was a short break, and the students hurried to the bathroom or to the place where drinks and food were placed to fill their stomachs.

Cardin also wanted to moisten his throat temporarily. Dongdong. At this time, someone gently patted Cardin on the shoulder.

"Cardan?" Looking back, there stood a woman with an ornate mask covering only her eyes.

"Hello. Teacher Belid." The woman wearing a gorgeous mask was Teacher Belid. She smiled and waved to Cardin.

"Did you have a good time at the party?"

"Yeah. Not bad."

"It's about time for our Cardin students to get ready to go on stage, right?" Cardin tilted his head and said after hearing Belid's words.

"Didn't I cancel my application for the duel?" Because Valentina said that she felt the presence of demons in the academy, Cardin immediately canceled his application for the duel.

"It's better to conserve your energy." The opponent Cardin applied for a duel was Mathias.

If he fought with Matthias, it would obviously consume a lot of physical strength, so in order to deal with any eventuality, he cancelled his application for the duel.

"The Cardan student is not the challenger, but the one who accepts the challenge and goes on stage?"

"Has anyone asked me for a duel?"

"A lot. Three from the third grade. Five from the second grade. One from the first grade. Of course, for safety reasons, the duel can only be held twice at most." Each grade has a representative person.

"One of the graduating class could be Klose-senpai? One of the sophomores could be the guy who caused the fight in the cafeteria. The first year is... there's only one."

Although I want to reject all challenges, I think it's okay to accept one.

"Then do it once."

"You have the right to choose your opponent. Who do you choose?"
