Chapter 590: Family gathering where unique skills are displayed
"You mean... God?"
Ainz looked at Aqua, and the skeleton's mouth opened slightly.
"Although she looks a little silly, she is indeed a god."
Xia Yu, who had been following behind, stepped forward and said casually that Aqua was a real goddess, but she had some water in her brain.
"Who are you calling stupid?"
Aqua retorted in dissatisfaction at first, then spread her arms and said, "Thank me, the revered god of the Axis Cult, the goddess of water, Aqua-sama."
"I will personally save you!"
As she threatened, Aqua clenched her right hand, light condensed, and a magnificent staff appeared in her hand.
Aqua then pointed her staff at Ainz and the others, and divine power immediately gathered at the tip of the staff. However, before Aqua could release the purification magic, she was suddenly punched in the head.
This punch directly interrupted Aqua's movements and also confused the others. They couldn't understand the current situation.
"Aqua, you want to cause trouble just at the beginning of your school life?"
Kazuma punched Aqua to the ground and scolded her in dissatisfaction. Aqua, who suffered a critical blow on the head, had tears in her eyes and retorted with a pitiful look on her face.
"But they are the undead! And there are demons, vampires and so on. They are a bunch of evil people no matter how you look at them."
Upon hearing this, several guardians on Ainz’s side frowned. If Ainz had not said anything, they would have stepped forward to teach this ungrateful woman a lesson.
But it was obvious that Aqua didn't understand the situation at all, and she was still muttering: "As a goddess, I can't just sit there and do nothing."
The next moment, Aqua condensed purification magic in her palm. A dazzling golden light shone, and the purifying beam carrying divine power flew straight towards Ainz and his companions.
But facing this magic, Ainz was not afraid at all, and did not even buff himself with defense.
"Undead Purification is a low-level magic."
He is a full-level ruler of death, and ordinary purification magic cannot hurt him at all.
Ainz was completely unprepared as he thought this, but the next second, he completely regretted it.
The purifying beam of light that flashed with golden light was much more powerful than he had imagined. After being hit, he felt as if he was going to ascend to heaven.
Especially Shalltear, who was also restrained, was completely fainted just by the aftermath.
Realizing that he would be purified if he did not do something, Ainz quickly mobilized his magic power to dispel the undead purification that was being cast upon him.
Seeing Ainz appearing to be unharmed, Aqua was also shocked: "My undead purification doesn't work?"
But before Aqua could make the next move, Kazuma behind her raised his fist again and knocked Aqua to the ground.
Aqua, who was sitting on the ground, covered her head with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. She complained with a wronged look on her face: "You hit me, you hit me twice!"
Although she looks pitiful and cute, Kazuma has long been immune to it. After all, he knows the nature of this goddess. She is a useless goddess who likes to cry.
"I know, I know."
After saying a few perfunctory words, Kazuma grabbed the still struggling Aqua and turned away, still saying perfunctorily: "I know, let's go home."
"What? Let go! Wait! Why should we go back…"
Kazuma completely ignored Aqua's struggle. For the sake of this hard-earned peaceful life, he must stop this useless goddess from causing trouble.
After turning the corner, Kazuma turned around with an awkward expression on his face, nodded and apologized to Ainz and the others, “Um, I’m really sorry.”
"It doesn't matter."
Ainz shook his head slightly. Although he didn’t understand the current situation, he decided to just let it go.
After all, the undead purification just now was really powerful.
"Damn it! Let me go! You undead, remember this! I will definitely save you!"
Aqua, who was taken away, was still uttering harsh words unwillingly, but no one paid any attention to her. Although she was a goddess, she was easily controlled by a mortal like Kazuma.
Looking at Kazuma and Aqua who had already left, Xia Yu, who was watching silently, chuckled : "Oh, luckily that goddess didn't continue, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous. After all, the sacred attribute can completely defeat evil creatures."
Ainz, who was standing by, heard this. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was wailing in his heart.
It turns out that the truth is this. The opponent's attributes completely suppress them. No wonder a low-level magic can cause him harm.
If the other party uses high-level magic, won’t they really be purified ?
Just when Ainz was feeling worried about the future, Xia Yu suddenly looked up at the sky, or to be exact, at the top of the electric pole on the street.
On the top of the electric pole, there was a figure standing, his cloak gently blown by the breeze, and his eyes were watching everything happening below.
This person is none other than their homeroom teacher, Roswaal.
When Roswaal noticed Xia Yu's gaze, he smiled at him and then suddenly disappeared at the top of the telephone pole.
Watching Roswaal disappear before his eyes, Xia Yu shook his head and laughed. He knew that the teachers in the school would definitely not sit idly by and watch these students hurt each other.
Is this some kind of...world rule?
Just like there will be no sensitive topics and bloody violence in children's works.
"Don't worry~"
As if noticing Ainz's nervousness, Xia Yu put his hands in his pockets and walked forward while speaking casually.
"Even if she really wants to do it again, she probably won't be allowed to do it. After all, Mr. Rozwa was watching here just now. As a teacher, he will definitely not allow bullying to happen in school."
"Just enjoy your campus life now. After all, a relaxing daily life is hard to come by. See you tomorrow."
Xia Yu turned his back to Ainz and the others and waved. Ainz nodded slightly and said, "See you tomorrow."
When he and his group were the only ones left at the scene, Ainz suddenly felt his non-existent stomach begin to ache.
There is a goddess who can cause harm to him, and a human who can beat up a god at will. If this unbalanced power system were placed in "YGGDRASIL", it would be collectively bombarded by players.
"Are you all right?"
Looking at Shalltear who had not yet woken up, Ainz sighed in his heart. She fainted just by being hit by the wave. That goddess really was the complete nemesis of evil creatures.
The other awake guardians shook their heads slightly and spoke up.
"Thank you for your concern, Ainz-sama. I am fine."
“Damn it! How dare that woman attack Lord Ainz? Please let me destroy her!”
"I'm sorry, Master Ainz. We, the guardians, failed to protect your safety. This is our fault."
Seeing that another conflict was about to occur, Ainz hurriedly stopped it and said, "Don't worry, that little attack is not harmful to me at all. Besides, if there is a conflict between classmates, there is no telling whether we will be punished or not."
Ainz, who was cautious by nature, did not tell the truth. If he really said that he had been hurt, these guardians would definitely find ways to retaliate.
This was not a good thing for him personally.
Hearing Ainz's words, Demiurge smiled and nodded in understanding, "I see. You are worthy of being Lord Ainz!"
Huh?
Seeing Demiurge's look of understanding, Ainz's skull opened slightly, and he was confused again.
"Huh?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Demiurge, what do you know now?"
“Haha, this is just the first step of Ainz-sama’s plan.” Demiurge looked at Ainz confidently, “Ainz-sama, do you need me to tell the other Guardians about the first step of your plan?”
Ainz: “…”
"I agree. After all, you are all my trusted subordinates."
It would be a good opportunity for him to hear what the first part of his plan is.
“Yes, Master Ainz.”
Demiurge adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Whether it was the goddess attacking us or there was a teacher nearby, all of this was within Ainz-sama's expectations."
Ainz: “…”
If the classmate named Xia Yu hadn't said it just now, he would have no idea that the teacher was paying attention to this place.
But he definitely couldn’t say this out loud. If he did, his career as the ruler of Nazarick would be over.
Demiurge continued, "Don't forget who we are now. We are students, and students need to abide by the so-called school rules. The school rules do not allow students to attack each other."
"This raises a question. If students violate school rules, what kind of punishment will they receive? This is the first step in the plan, to lure other students to attack us."
"In this way, the attacker will naturally violate the school rules. We can learn from this the punishment for violating the school rules. In addition, we just received intelligence that the teacher will always pay attention to the situation between students to prevent more serious situations from occurring."
"All of this is part of Lord Ainz's plan, because Lord Ainz has been trying to find out the truth of this world since the moment he came to this world."
Ah... I actually could have predicted this. I am worthy of this.
Ainz had stopped thinking.
“Oh, I see. As expected of Ainz-sama, his wisdom is beyond our ken.”
"I see. In this incident, we are still the victims. Even if there is a punishment, it will not be our turn."
"I understand. No wonder Ainz-sama forgave them so easily. It turned out that he did it to prevent us from being implicated."
“Ainz-sama, you are indeed very gentle.”
Ainz: “…”
My nonexistent stomach started to hurt again.
…
The next day, school.
In the classroom, since it was the second day of class, everyone was not late and sat in the classroom properly.
However, in the upper right corner of the classroom, where Kazuma and others were, there was obviously one person missing.
"Because Aqua was violent towards her friend yesterday, she was punished to stand in the corridor."
On the podium, Roswaal raised a finger to explain the reason, and pointed outside the classroom.
Outside the corridor of the classroom, Aqua was standing as punishment with a bucket on her head and another bucket in each hand, her eyes full of tears.
"It's obviously their fault...it's them..."
Aqua cried and muttered, how pitiful she could be.
However, in this pitiful situation, Kazuma casually opened the window and sarcastically said, "Oh, it suits you very well, Goddess of Water."
Hearing this mocking voice, Aqua stared with her eyes wide open and cried, "Did you tell the teacher about this? Remember this, wuwuwu..."
In the classroom, Ainz looked at Aqua crying outside the corridor and fell into deep thought.
This so-called punishment... standing in the corner with a bucket of water in your hand, is really a reflection of campus life at all times.
Perhaps, as the classmate named Xia Yu said, this is a relaxing and enjoyable daily life , and the dangers he imagined will not occur.
While thinking about it, Ainz looked towards Xia Yu's position, and then saw the figure sleeping with his arms leaning on him.
Ainz: “…”
He thought this was a good student, but he turned out to be a student who slept in class and didn't listen.
On the contrary, his two female companions looked more serious, and they were taking notes on the textbooks on the table. They were the epitome of good students.
The time in class passed quickly.
Perhaps it was an instinct engraved in his body. Anyway, Xia Yu's eyelids couldn't stop fighting each other when he sat at the desk. Then he decided to obey his body's instinct and take a nap.
Whether they are students who attend class or not, they are all a type of student. In order to enrich the types of students, Xia Yu decided to sacrifice himself and play the role of a student who sleeps in class and does not attend class.
It is more comfortable to sleep in this kind of atmosphere, and I feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
Just when Xia Yu was sleeping soundly, someone suddenly pulled his clothes and woke him up.
"Ah? get out of class is over?"
Xia Yu blinked his blurry eyes, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the person who woke him up.
"There are flyers coming through."
Melina couldn't bear to look at Xia Yu at this moment. Anyway, at this moment, Xia Yu's image in her mind collapsed a little bit.
Even though it didn't have much of an image originally, but... at least it wouldn't be like it is now, making it so unbearable to even look at.
He was so serious when he was learning magic, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, but now, it makes people wonder if he has changed.
"Leaflets?"
Xia Yu blinked to sober himself up a little, then took the flyer and started reading it.
"Hmm... this flyer has no design at all. It just has words on it and highlights the important details in red. It's really crude."
After casually criticizing the design of the flyer, Xia Yu began to read the content.
【Family reunion notice! 】
【first】
【Exciting (bold) unique skills conference (marked in red)】
[In order to deepen the communication among classmates, a unique skills conference will be held this weekend! ]
"A family reunion?"
Xia Yu muttered the name of the activity meeting. As far as he knew, a reunion was a form of activity in the old days where schools invited students' parents to communicate with each other, display students' homework, and supplemented it with entertainment.
But according to the situation of their class, it seems that they can't invite parents...
So it was changed to showing off special skills? It seems quite interesting.
"Show off your special skills? How about I show you one of Loretta's special skills?"
