After the dragon incident, Dessel had visited Alphonse, who was receiving treatment at a medical facility in the royal capital away from the academy. He apologized for his past attitude and actions towards Alphonse, and the two successfully reconciled.
Seeing this Dessel arguing with the three he was always with, Alphonse quickly headed to the scene.
When he reached the four, the atmosphere was at a boiling point, and Alphonse called out to Dessel, partly to restrain Kevin, Som, and Dominic.… Read more

However, Shion couldn’t tolerate Alphonse’s last statement.
…On that day, at that time, Shion had seen the figure of a great hero in Alphonse. He had felt deep respect for the noble way Alphonse fought.
Shion couldn’t stand the thought of such a man being called a “false hero.”
“You seem to misunderstand that I defeated the Dragon, but that doesn’t matter right now. …However, let me say this clearly.”
His voice now carried a strong, serious tone, unlike his previous somewhat oblivious manner.… Read more

Chapter 13: Two Heroes
— The sudden attack of Schwarzwaldius, the Black Dragon of Destruction.
It brought catastrophic damage to part of the Crawford Magic Academy grounds, especially the school cafeteria.
Due to the dragon’s ferocity and the aftermath of a battle with a brave student, much of the cafeteria’s furnishings were destroyed. Walls, ceilings, and pillars were nearly collapsed, leaving the place in terrible disrepair.
…One week later.
Thanks to the efforts of skilled architects using magic to reconstruct buildings, and transport workers who swiftly delivered materials and necessary equipment, the building was successfully restored.… Read more

The Black Annihilation Dragon realized that this time, he would be completely killed.
–Should I attack first, in a desperate gamble? Or should I try to avoid this attack with all my might? Even if the chance of escape is low, should I bet everything on running away?
In the Black Annihilation Dragon’s mind, which instinctively tried to avoid “death,” several options arose.
The chances were slim, no matter what.
But if I did nothing, I’d surely die here and now.… Read more

“Knowing you, you might eventually develop a sealing magic to imprison me eternally or a technique to completely erase me. But when will that be?”
“……”
“You seal me. To manage the seal, you’ve relied on the help of your descendants and other humans, and you’ll continue to do so. …You’ll continue to burden many people with the heavy responsibility of keeping me sealed. The children of humans who have worked hard and cultivated their powers to save many people will spend their entire lives just watching over a sealed, speechless me… How long will you continue this?”… Read more

Therefore, the Black Annihilation Dragon chose to use his silver tongue to confirm the facts.
— Even if I point out his lack of strength, it would be meaningless if he realizes it’s just a wild guess… To shake his heart, I need to act as if I know everything. — I have no choice but to show it. The world’s strongest dragon’s finest oratory skills!!
And so, the Black Annihilation Dragon made his move.
“Kah kah kah……”
Facing his greatest enemy, the Black Annihilation Dragon let out a chuckling laugh.… Read more

However, the response he received was the worst possible outcome he could have imagined.
It was an utterly hopeless answer: Siegfried had broken his own seal, reincarnated, and waited, anticipating that he would be lured here by the scent of his descendant.
The Black Dragon felt fear rising from the depths of his body at the realization that everything had been in Siegfried’s palm, and at the terrifying tenacity of a man who continued to pursue him even after four hundred years.… Read more

Chapter 12: Reflections in the Eyes of the Black Dragon
“For four hundred years, I’ve thought of nothing but revenge against you…!”
“…”
Faced with these words uttered at point-blank range, as if the massive mouth was about to swallow him whole, Shion remained unfazed, simply staring straight ahead.
(So, it was as I thought.)
Upon hearing the words of Schwarzwaldius, the Black Dragon of Annihilation, Shion inwardly nodded as if he had more or less expected this.… Read more

The Man Who Vanished from History
On the continent where the Kingdom of Gilbert is located, there exists a country called “Wa no Kuni” across the eastern sea.
Wa no Kuni is a very small island nation with a unique culture somewhat different from the continent, with a land area less than one-hundredth of the continent’s size.
There once existed over twenty territories and lords, with constant battles for land between warriors called samurai.
A period later known as the “Warring States Era” saw the largest-scale territorial disputes in history, lasting a full century in Wa no Kuni.… Read more

“‘400 years…!? You, indeed…!!'”
The phrase “400 years”, which precisely represents the time from when Siegfried sealed him until now, turned the doubt in the Black Dragon of Extinction’s mind into certainty. … However.
“‘No, that’s impossible…!! It’s been 400 years after all!! He should have long since died of old age!! There’s no way he could be here!!'”
The Black Annihilation Dragon strongly denied the possibility he had arrived at.
Yes, it was because his suspicion had turned into certainty that this reality was too unbelievable for the Black Annihilation Dragon.… Read more
