章 37: 37:She is a magic doll, so what
"So, are my qualifications clear now?" asked Anos while smirking at Emilia.
Emilia gritted her teeth and muttered in hatred, "Yes, you can become a team leader."
Anos nodded, seemingly satisfied with her words, and went back to his seat. Emilia took a few breaths to calm herself and for her professional side to take over. She then clapped her hands to gain everyone's attention once again.
"Now then, the candidates who are chosen to be team leaders, please stand up."
At her words, five students, including Anos, stood up.
"First, we will start by letting the team leaders introduce themselves. Would you be kind enough to go first, Sasha?" Emilia turned her attention to a girl with long blonde hair with ribbons and twin tails, blue eyes, and a fairly short and petite frame.
She gripped the edge of her skirt and bowed elegantly, "I'm from the Necron family and a direct descendant of one of the original seven demon emperors, Aivis Necron. I'm Sasha Necron, the Witch of Ruin. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
At her words, the class erupted into a frenzy.
"Oh my god, she is a direct descendant from one of the Great Demon Elders!" exclaimed one classmate.
"I heard she even has a magic power amount that broke the new record," said another.
"We are so lucky to be in the same class as the Witch of Ruin. I wonder if I can join her team," said another.
While the others were busy fanboying or scheming ways to join Sasha's team, Rimuru had a strange expression on her face. Anos looked at her and asked, "Is it because of how she has the same family name as Misha?"
Rimuru absentmindedly nodded. "I asked about it now, and it turns out she is Misha's older sister, which technically makes Misha a pureblood by default as both of her parents are the same. But because of some family drama, they decided to enroll Misha as a commoner. Sigh, I wonder how this strange ideology of bloodline appeared in these times of peace."
Anos was unaware that Rimuru didn't even listen to him as she was having a very serious talk with Ciel in her mind.
'Ciel, is it me or have I been not able to sleep lately?'
[Your body doesn't need to sleep, Master, but no, your sleep schedule was not interrupted in any way.]
'Then this has to be a dream, right? There is no way that both Militia and Abernyu reincarnated in the same era, right?'
[Unfortunately, Master, what you see is reality as souls cannot be faked.]
'Sigh, what kind of mess did I get myself involved in? If my earlier assumptions were correct, then both of these girls are victims of the manipulation of fate and destiny. Ciel, analyze both of their souls, sources, and fates to see what those guys did.'
[Already done, Master. It seems both individuals have sources which are weak and unstable. There is also a trace of a magic spell used to split one source into two. If my guess is correct, both of these girls were never meant to be the reincarnations of the two goddesses. But due to the manipulation of fate and destiny, their souls and sources were mixed, creating these unstable sources. By the help of another magic spell used to combine two sources, the two unstable sources will merge and clash to decide the main personality.]
'But, Ciel, I can't see how the gods would profit from this. From what I could tell, the Necron family would only gain a better demon who could have the potential to be as strong as a god who has full control over his order.'
[Master, when the clash between wills happens, both of their souls would be tired. A third party with a powerful soul and will can interfere, subdue both of them, and take control over the body. And gods' souls and wills happen to be very strong and suited for this job.]
'Shit, that was a close one. With Misha's destiny to disappear shattered, I might have destroyed half of the gods' plan. Now I just have to interfere with this Sasha girl's fate and be done with it.'
[What about the fusion spell that is placed on them? If not treated early, one of them would disappear, Master.]
'Oh, I will let Anos handle that. If my gut feeling is something to consider, both of them would be saved by Anos. And it's not like a little soul tinkering couldn't fix them.'
[…If you say so, Master.]
"I'm the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos Voldigod. I'll tell you all right now that the name of the demon king you believe in is wrong. The real name is Anos Voldigod. Not that any of you will believe me. I don't blame you, though. In time, you will understand. Pleased to meet you."
As she heard these words, Rimuru had the urge to bury herself in a hole and hide forever. She didn't want anyone to associate her with him. She wondered where she went wrong in teaching him. Fortunately for her, the classroom just took his words for nothing. It seemed like this was a demon thing. Even Emilia didn't blink at his words and just went on with the class, leaving some instructions about the team and whatnot.
Soon, people began to stand up and go to the groups they preferred. Except for Anos, all the other four had a decent number of teammates. Anos, seeing this, just shrugged it off as he could solo things most of the time. With Rimuru here, he wouldn't be disqualified. He saw Misha looking at her sister.
"I wouldn't mind if you want to join your sister's group," he said softly.
"Mhm," Misha shook her head and replied, "No, it's all right. After all, we are friends," she said, smiling a little.
"You should smile a little more, Misha. That smile of yours is beautiful," commented Rimuru as she looked at her smiling.
Misha nodded her head while blushing a little. Anos chuckled a little and turned his attention to the visitor who came towards them.
"Anos Voldigod, was it? Nice to meet you," said Sasha while giving Misha some nasty looks.
"Oh, why the sudden greeting?" Anos asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Heh, I just want to give my condolences to you who decided to give this magic doll a place in your group," Sasha said mockingly, looking at Misha with contempt.
"When you say defective doll, are you referring to Misha?" asked Rimuru with a very calm tone that made Anos sweat a little as he dreaded what she would do to this poor soul.
"Is there anyone else in your group? Hahaha! Don't you know? That child isn't a demon, but she's not human either. Like I said earlier, she's a defective doll-san. No life, no soul, no will. Just a trash doll that only works due to magic."
'A magic doll? Is that what she said when their parents were the same? Was she created using their blood? Well, whatever. There are many, many ways of creating magic dolls. There's even a way of creating a magic doll by a mazoku actually giving birth to it. If you are good with magic, then the doll will really be alive. Leaving that, I must solve this before Rimuru does something that would traumatize this girl.'
"So what?" asked Anos, gaining her attention.
"What do you mean?" asked Sasha, puzzled.
"If you think that a magic doll has no life nor soul, then your understanding of magic is pitifully shallow. Concentrate your demon eyes even further and stare into the abyss," said Anos.
A surprised expression quickly crossed Sasha's face before she laughed fearlessly.
"I'll give you some advice. If you stay by such a cursed doll-san, something bad will happen. Nee, you understand that, right?"
Anos blinked before laughing, "Kukuku, kuhahahaha. What…that…is that a threat? To this me?"
Sasha started to glare at him. "Nee. You. Do you want to die?"
