Demon Lord’s Reincarnation

A week had quickly passed by since Erste and the others had arrived at the rebellion’s HQ. Nikki, Tala, and Miguel have settled in quite nicely in the city where most of the non-combatants stay and Nikki even applied to become a combatant.

On the other hand, Erste had entered the training center for the new combatants of the rebellion. As expected even though they have been defeated by their respective saviors some of them haven’t learned their lesson and were quite arrogant.

Erste who had observed their training for a few days didn’t feel like playing around with them any longer so he wanted to quickly prove himself and said something no one expected.

…

“I got no time for this, can I just skip this training?”

The instructor in charge of the group of newcomers glared at Erste and then he checked his file. The file says that Erste had defeated a New God by himself and had sparred with Allan upon arrival. The outcome of the spar was not written on the file. The instructor frowned as he thought that Erste was one of those geniuses that think they could do everything by himself.

“Fine, you can skip the basic training if you’re able to beat a team of three.”

“That’s too easy to be a test. How about if I beat everyone here, you allow me to go do missions by myself.”

After he was done speaking the other people in the training center all glared at Erste. In a place where everyone thinks they were the protagonist seeing Erste act like he was the Main Character made the others feel irritated. One of the newcomers approached Erste.

“You think you can take us all on? I’m sure that you can’t even beat me.”

Without warning the guy speaking with Erste punched out while using his mana to strengthen his body. Erste focused a little bit of mana into his index finger blocked the guy’s fist with his finger and then redirected it downward making the guy stumble forward. Erste then lightly tapped the back of the guy’s neck making him faint.

Seeing Erste’s fluid movement and how easily he defeated the person who attacked him made the others gulp their saliva. Still, there were some that remained defiant and wanted to fight Erste.

“I know that you’re above the others but do you think you could take on all the newcomers here? Even if you somehow do so, do you really think that’s enough to be exempt from forming a team?” The instructor asked Erste.

“It seems that you misunderstood something here when I said everyone that was including you.”

The very moment Erste said those words of provocation the Instructor burst out with a very frightening energy as a bit of bloodlust was leaking out of him.

“I’ve seen my fair share of arrogant b*stards, but you’re something else entirely. It seems like I need to teach you a very hard lesson.”

Seeing the Instructor ready to fight a vicious smile appeared on Erste’s face.

“Come show me what you got.”

…

At the same time that Erste was about to fight the instructor, Jack was finally freed from the nearly endless questioning of the past week. After he reported what happened with Erste, the higher-ups came to question him. Jack had told them everything he knew without any deceit or falsehood.

It was a very extensive Q and A, but most of the time he just needed to stay in a room. After the questioning and investigation of what happened during the rescue of Erste and the others, Jack was accompanied by one of the Generals of the Rebellion.

The Generals of the Rebellion are the most powerful fighters in the Rebellion each one of them has enough skill and strength to defeat a New God at full power by themselves. The General that was accompanying Jack was one of the oldest members of the Rebellion, his name was Gratz.

General Gratz was the General with the most experience as well as the General with the highest kill count among the other Generals. The weapon he used was a rapier which Gratz loved calling an elegant weapon.

The two were now heading towards the Training Center Erste was in. After learning of Erste’s ability the higher-ups sent out a General to assess the other party.

“I wasn’t able to ask you back in the base but Jack my boy are you sure that you haven’t made a mistake in your report?”

“Yes, Sir Gratz, that young man has unbelievable skill and power. It feels like he was born and bred for battle.”

“Hoh, how intersting. Do you think that young man understands elegance?” 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“Huh, Elegance, sir?”

“Yes, does the young man exude nobility and elegance?”

When Jack heard Gratz’s question he remembered the vicious smile on Erste’s face. ‘That guy should be the farthest thing from the nobility and elegance Sir Gratz is talking about.’

“No, Sir, the thing that Erste exuded was not nobility nor elegance, what he exuded was a certain wildness and ferocity.”

“Well, that’s disappointing to hear, it’s another one of those. We already have a ton of people that have the same aura. I wish that some of the younglings could learn from me and show nobility and elegance at all times. As the chosen few fighting for the future of our race, we should keep a certain level of nobility, don’t you think so?”

“Sir, yes Sir.”

“Oh my, Jack my boy no need to be so stiff.”

“Yes, sorry about that…”

Gratz looked at Jack who had his head down and sighed.

“Don’t worry about it. Oh, we’re already here.”

Jack looked ahead and saw the Training Center Erste was in, and when the two entered what they saw was quite surprising. Erste was sitting at the side drinking water and on the ground were unconscious people. Those people on the ground were the newcomers and even the Instructor was beaten to the ground. Noticing the newcomers Erste waved his hand, greeting them. Seeing the scene before him Jack couldn’t help but sigh.
