I Am Stronger Than A Hero?!

The Third Demon King

"Start!"

As the guild master have given the sign, we immediately fought.

She manipulated the light element which should be normal for someone like her since she is a goddess. She made the light into small tiny circles and immediately made those pursue me.

I then, reflected them all of course. As she continue that attack and keeps distance, I also try to shorten it, but, as expected of her, she always backs off when I get close enough.

As I am getting impatient for deflecting her attacks, I used my full speed and got behind her immediately.

"?! W-What?! Where did he go?!" (Aisha)

She was surprised by that.

"At your back"

"?!"

She then jumped backwards, but as soon as she did, I manipulated my mana and used it to fly.

I then caught her midair and immediately immobilized her by binding her body with my mana.

"The winner is, Akatsuki!"

After he have announced the winner which is me, I then removed Aisha's binds and carried her.

As soon as I carried her, her face blushed a crimson red color.

"A-Akatsuki-san... P-Please put me down..."

"Nope... I'll carry you till we got home"

"E—Eh?! B-But, there are people outside! T-That is embarrassing desu..."

"Don't worry about those"

"I-If you say so..."

She then wrapped her hands around my neck.

"So, that's how it is... We will be going then"

As I was about to get out, Erin stopped me.

"A-Akatsuki-san... This is her guild card"

"Alright... But now that if think of it, why didn't I got any card?"

"W-Well... The case is that, we don't have guild cards for ?-ranked"

"Then... Care if you give me an S-ranked instead?"

"A-Are you sure? Your rank will get demoted"

"Un, it is fine"

"T-Then... Please wait for a bit"

"Alright"

I then went to the outside of the training center and sat on a nearby seat. I also made Aisha sat beside me as well.

"U-Um... T-Thank you, Akatsuki-san"

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Well... Um, it's for... Fighting with me"

"? Why are you thankful for that?"

"B-Because... I know now that, I can entrust my self to you fully"

"I see... Don't worry about anything, as long as I an here, I will definitely protect you"

"Um... D-Do you usually get girls with that line?"

"Well.... Not really..."

"I-I see"

Then after we talked for a few more minutes, Erin arrived at where we are seating and gave me my card.

After getting the card, I immediately took a request, and of course, I am with Aisha on this quest.

"The request is about subjugating a self proclaimed demon lord?"
