Who Isn't a Herrscher?

After the first wave of attacks ended, the layered defensive barriers had shattered like glass, leaving only a few layers... and some areas had even been pierced straight through by the aurora.

"Just as I thought, your resilience far exceeds my expectations, brave heroes from another world."

Freed appeared in the sky atop the White Dragon Uranus, gazing coldly down at the many students below.

Countless Demon Race soldiers riding gray wyverns appeared around Freed as well.

Seeing Freed appear overhead, Ama no Kawa Kouki angrily shouted his question.

"Who are you?!"

Meld, standing nearby, narrowed his eyes when he saw Freed appear.

From Freed's complexion and appearance, Meld immediately guessed his identity.

But if that was the case, then the news that Shimizu Kōri had collaborated with the Demon Race was confirmed...

Thinking of this, Meld's expression darkened even further.

Hearing Ama no Kawa Kouki's question, Freed's gaze fell upon him.

After seeing Ama no Kawa Kouki holding a holy sword and wearing holy armor, Freed narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, you are the 'Hero.'"

As he spoke, Freed glanced at the other students.

"As expected, humans from another world surpass us natives by far, whether in talent or stats..."

At that point, Freed could not help but sneer.

As if recalling the slash that had struck across his body, Freed looked at the students with wariness in his eyes.

"Just like that 'godly' teacher of yours, you are all grave threats to us gods!"

"What?!"

Hearing Freed's words, Ama no Kawa Kouki, Yae Gashi Shizuku, the other students present, and Hatayama Aiko all widened their eyes slightly.

Hatayama Aiko had just been about to ask whether the "godly teacher" Freed mentioned was Luo Mio when—

"Boom—!"

In the next moment, the roar of thunder exploded through the sky.
