The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero's Mother! - C.350

Ah, my stomach is starting to ache.

I have a feeling...

Maybe it's a sign that something bad is about to happen.

I bet Serena-kun did something again...

I really don't want that.

These kinds of feelings always turn out to be true.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Mel-sama, may I come in?"

"Oh, it's Edgar. I'm glad it's you..."

Yeah, I'm really glad.

It's not Serena-kun.

"So, Edgar, what do you need today?"

Serena-kun is currently training with Ceres to defeat Arks, so it can't be about that.

Thinking I'm not involved... makes me feel a bit better.

"Actually, I was asked by Serena-sama to come here."

Serena-kun...

"Did something happen to Serena-kun? He's training to defeat Arks right now, right?"

That's right, in that situation, he should be in the heavenly realm by now.

He must be training with Ceres and Mother Sayo.

Oh?! "Asked by Serena-sama"... could it be that he came back...

"Well, he just returned and asked if his friend could enroll here."

"Oh? That's great! It's good for Serena-kun to make friends! Does he have a letter of recommendation from a powerful person?"

This academy is for nobles and wealthy merchants, basically a school for the powerful.

As long as there's a recommendation, they usually won't reject anyone.

Well, if it's Serena-kun's friend, it must be someone from the church or royalty.

I guess it's okay to allow it.

"Yes, it will be sent urgently from now. The recommender is the Pope."

"Then there's no problem... So when will they start enrolling?"

"If you can do that, I'd like to ask you right now."

"I haven't even interviewed them yet!"

"So, you'd like to have the interview right away and ask for admission, is that it?"

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

It's related to Serena-kun and the Pope.

"Really, I can't help it... Fine, bring them in."

"Yes, then I'll have them wait in the hallway, so please come in, Arks-sama!"

Ahhh, Arks...

"Wait a minute! Edgar, you..."

"It's been a while, Mel. I'll be in your care here! I'm counting on you!"

Edgar, you set me up.

I'll definitely make you pay for this later.

He looks pale, so he's definitely guilty.

Just when my stomach had finally stopped hurting... it's starting to hurt again.

"Oh... Arks, it's been a while! You really helped me back then! But it's not decided that you can attend yet, okay? You need a practical or written exam, but it would be unfair to make someone from another world take a written test, so let's go with a practical one. If you pass the practical exam, I'll accept your admission."

"Oh, a practical exam? What kind of exam is it?"

"It's nothing special! I'll test how amazing you are as a war god! My best 2 attacks. If you can survive my special magic, I'll accept your admission... how about that?"

"Hah, is that all? I'm a war god now! Do you really think you can beat me, someone who didn't even stand a chance against Mammon?"

"Alright then, let's make it a 2-hit challenge! If you can withstand my best 2 attacks, you pass!"

Five hundred years is a long time for a human.

I've read every book and conducted countless experiments.

There's probably no one stronger than me in this world.

I'll show you what 'the strongest human' really is.

* * *

"Wow, this is quite the training ground!"

"It's because Serena-kun tends to break things, so I put up a strong barrier! You might be able to break it now, though."

"Yeah, but this barrier looks like it'll be tough to handle."

Serena, with a touch of concern, spoke up. And Edgar, his voice laced with worry, added.

"Mel... are you really going to do it? Your magic probably won't work, you know?"

"Mel-sama, let's not? It's dangerous."

Serena-kun and Edgar are so noisy. freёnovelkiss.com

"It's fine... Arks just has to take it! Right?"

"Yeah, I just need to take it twice, right?"

"Exactly... then here we go! Field deployment! 50 times Holy Wall! Spell formation! My name is Mel! I am the one who unleashes the strongest spell that destroys everything, the massive explosion spell!"

I spent 500 years developing this spell.

I was so bored that I just kept researching it.

The Holy Wall used by the saint.

I polished it into a 50 times stronger barrier.

Even Maria's Holy Wall couldn't be broken by multiple dragon types.

Now, I'm setting up that 50 times stronger barrier.

Then, I'll compress and unleash the massive explosion spell that can easily destroy mountains.

Hehehe... let's see you handle this.

BOOM!

A heavy sound echoes inside the barrier.

"Ughhh! Hmph! This is quite something! This might have worked on me back when you faced Mammon, but it won't affect me, the war god."

"Huff, huff, really? But you're not completely unscathed... Promise is 2 hits, right? There's one more hit coming."

"True... but wasn't that your strongest technique? Well, go ahead and do it quickly!"

The first hit was just a setup.

"Alright, here I go... 50 times Holy Wall! Anti-dragon harassment magic Habanero Water Ball... Fill it up, fill it up──evil water, come forth! This is a magic version of Ceres' technique that even worked on that black dragon, right? Can you handle it? I wonder if you can?"

Ceres used the 'Habanero Attack' on the black dragon. Well, it probably won't hurt too much, but it should be really uncomfortable.

It's like being thrown into a tank of water that's dozens of times spicier than super hot chili peppers.

"Ughhh──my eyes, my eyes, my eyes──everything hurts, it's so hard to breathe through my nose──Hah, I'm dying, I'm dying──damn it, ugh, it's so spicy──Waaahhh, damn it!"

"Look at that Arks suffering! Yes! I finally did it!"

"Mel, that's so childish, you know? Any creature would be in pain from that! Plus, they're just taking it, that's really unfair!"

"Mel-sama, I'm disappointed in you... Do you really want to win that badly that you'd resort to such sneaky tactics?"

What... is that look...

"Serena-kun, Edgar, why are you looking at me like that? Why..."

""...""

"Fine, I get it... Release!"

"Ugh, it hurts, it hurts so much!"

"Water Shooter."

I summoned a huge amount of water for them.

And then... the ultimate spell that only the saint can learn.

"Perfect Heal! Now the healing is done..."

"Damn it... am I failing..."

"You're still standing, right? You passed... Students don't need to beat their teachers... It's just a test to see how far you can go! Now, Edgar, I'll leave the rest to you. Don't forget Arks' 'main text' and do your best!"

"Yeah!"

It's pretty sneaky, but a win is a win, right?

* * *

"Yay! Wow! I won, I won! I beat Arks! Yayyyyyyy!"

"I wonder what's up with the principal?"

"She's in a really good mood, huh?"

"Just pretend you didn't see anything."

That day, many students witnessed Mel skipping around with a big smile.
