Kapitel 3: THE INVITATION TO THE ACADEMY.
There was a famous Tale about a Brave knight.
Once in the West Outer Section of the Empire, a demon attacked the people of that place.
The demon was one of the Ten Generals of the Demon Empire.
He attacked the West Coast of the Empire. It was said that the country beyond the West Coast was destroyed by that demon.
After all, it was a demon with one of the best summoner magic, and it moved with an army of beasts, numbering nearly fifty thousand.
The attack was strong enough to destroy a kingdom without any problem.
The people that the demon killed were a sacrifice to awaken the Demon King.
Even after knowing the threat level, the Empire didn't move.
All because of a single person posted to that place. The Empire was so confident in that single person that they didn't even send any backup.
A single knight with a long sword stood against fifty thousand man-eating beasts and a Demon General.
[GREY SWORD SUNSHINE]
In just one night, he wiped out the whole army of man-eating beasts and presented the Demon General's head to the Emperor.
He was a monster in the flesh. The Hero could also do that, but even he had to use many abilities provided to him by his sword. This monster did that without any ability, using only mana and his skills.
In terms of skills, this beast surpassed the Hero in his prime. The only thing that makes the Hero so strong is his abilities.
I sometimes think, what would have happened if my father had been the Hero?
'The Demon King should be praising his luck that the sword didn't choose him…'
[STATUS WINDOW]
[THE TARGET IS MUCH STRONGER THAN YOU]
[ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION WOULD BE REVEALED ABOUT THE TARGET.]
NAME: GREY SWORD SUNSHINE
STATUS: THE DUKE OF THE SUNSHINE FAMILY.
CLASS: SWORDSMAN, ARCHER, SPEARMAN, MELEE MASTER, MARTIAL ARTS EXPERT….
STRENGTH: ???
AGILITY: ???
INTELLIGENCE: 09
MANA: ???
'I still can't see his status window properly…'
I looked at the man standing in front of me. He had an expressionless face and a cold demeanor.
'This guy is releasing his pressure without his intent…'
I can tell the pressure this guy is releasing isn't his doing. After all, when you're as strong as this guy, even if you don't want to, your pressure still gets released.
"You are going to the Academy…"
The guy spoke again with the same cold tone, which would have sent shivers down my spine if I didn't have my mind tough to the max.
"Yes, Father…"
I spoke, but this time there wasn't any annoyance in my tone or any pride.
'I would be a fool if I lost my life at his hand…'
After losing his first wife, this guy went crazy, lost his good nature, and took on this cold demeanor. If it wasn't due to the Emperor forcing him to remarry another girl, this guy might have already gone berserk.
"Then excuse me, Father!!"
I spoke with a polite look on my face. After all, this crazy guy didn't have a good relationship with his first son after his first wife died.
'She died protecting this guy…'
Amelia Armour Silverwood, my mother, died protecting me or the real Rex. She could have escaped the assassination as she was also a very proud swordsman and was called the prodigy of her time. But when the attack happened, Rex was there too, and she had to protect him.
While she could slay the assassins easily, her motherly nature became the cause of her doom.
The sword which was meant to stab the chest of the small Rex had to cross through the heart of a mother, strong enough to stop the attack midway.
I remembered that incident. It happened in front of the little Rex's eyes, and after inheriting his memories, I recalled everything as if it had happened yesterday.
I still remember that day. I cried a lot after getting that memory. I don't know why, but it felt like I lost my real mother, who left the world at an age when I can't even remember. So, it was strange for me to cry so much.
"Do you still remember her?"
I don't know why, but I turned around and asked this to him.
My black eyes met his eyes, and for a second, I saw a trembling look in them.
This guy, once known as 'The Strongest Knight,' is just an old man now. Due to stress, his face started to get wrinkled, and his dark black eyes had a hollow look in them. He looked tired. I don't know if this body of mine didn't get renewed after every regression, probably I would have also looked like him.
A trembling look came upon his face after I just talked about his first love. It was written in the novel that if this guy had still been in his prime, then the Demon King wouldn't have been able to defeat the Hero.
I can understand that because right now, the only person I see in front of me is a tired old man. His aura is strong, but it is also filled with loneliness.
"Y-you…"
He tried to speak something but stopped midway. I don't know why, but I feel angry at this guy.
'How can he be so pathetic…'
"Excuse me…"
I didn't show my angry look and just walked away. This was my first time talking to him other than the important stuff.
He wasn't an important person to the Hero, so I didn't interact with him much. He might be my father here, but I don't care about him much, as that look on his face pissed me off.

"I should think about the Academy now…"
I took a deep breath as I walked towards my room.
"Young Master…"
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice. I turned around and saw a beautiful girl with yellow hair and dark yellow eyes staring at me with a maid outfit and a cold demeanor.
"You fucking bastard, you should have died alone."
A memory of her cursing me crossed my mind. There were many regressions, but the words were the same for every regression.
She spoke these words before leaving me alone and joining the Hero's party. In all the regressions, I would be on the floor gasping for breath while holding my red cheeks, which were warm due to her hand marks on them.
"Where were you this morning?"
The same question, I always ask her when I first meet her. However this time I forgot about her due to the talk I had with Father.
"…I had some work… Young Master…."
Rina, my maid, stood in front of me and answered. In this country, every noble has a personal maid once they cross the age of 16. My sister is 15 and I'm 17.
'Alice would have her birthday in three months…'
I thought to myself while I just stared at Rina with a cold look on my face.
"Rina…"
"...."
I called out with a chilly tone, and hearing me, she took a cold gasp as a little bit of hesitation could be seen on her face.
"Whose personal maid are you??"
I spoke, and hearing my tone, a scared look came on her face. But she changed her facial expression very fast to an expressionless look.
"I-I'm your… personal maid… Young Master…"
THUD…
"Ah!!"
I cornered her to a wall and put my hands on the wall with much force, blocking her way out. I got my face close to her and spoke with a cold look.
"Then follow my instructions, bitch… If anyone else gives you any work, then say fuck off… Do you understand…"
"...."
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!!"
"Yes…"
She looked down while her body was trembling with fear and hatred. I could hear her gritting her teeth in anger, but I didn't care.
"Do you all understand, she's my maid, no one gives her orders other than me!!!"
"Huh!!!"
I turned around and spoke with a rough tone, loud enough for every servant to hear, who were sneaking up on our conversation. Seeing that they were found out, they ran away.
The real reason for me to say these words is because Rina's life is hell in this family. She is the personal maid of a third-rate villain, who is good for nothing, so her respect in this house is close to zero. Not only that, the other servants make her do their work while they slack off, and all of this is because of me. For that reason, she hates me the most.
I don't even treat her properly in front of her, but behind the scenes, I do everything in my power to give her the life she needs.
"Get ready…."
"...."
I looked towards her. She had expressionless eyes with sadness hidden deep inside, while I just ignored her and walked away.
"I'm going to the Academy…."
I turned towards her with a smug smile on my face.
"I can't leave without my maid, can I…."
I could see her trembling shoulder while she did her best to not let her emotions get the better of her.
I can't leave her here. People will make her life a living hell, so she has to come with me.
"We'll leave tomorrow…"
"Yes…"
I spoke and walked away without looking at her face. I was calm as it was not my first time doing this. Believe me, I have tried to do good things for them in many regressions, but also those things have done more harm than good for them.
'I should get ready After all, I'm going to meet him, The Hero Whose Destiny is Save this World and Defeat me and the Demon King again and this time also I try my best to get the Ending, I want....'
