Chapter 40: The naked demon king

This chapter is updated by Wuxia.Blog

I woke up with the bell signalling the end of the class.

"Today's classes are now over. Everyone, please be on time tomorrow."

Emilia leaves the classroom and all the students start getting ready leave.

Ray who sits in front of me leaned his chair back and tilted his head my way.

"Should we get something to eat?"

"You're always hungry."

"My bodies efficiency is bad."

I push my chair back and stand up.

"Do you want to come to my house and have a victory celebration? My mothers home-cooked food is the best."

"Sounds good. It's your treat then." Ray says before standing up

Next to me, Sasha has a doubtful look on her face.

"Nee. Just this morning we were cruelly fighting for our lives in the demon tree forest. Why are you both so friendly? Also, isn't it humiliating to celebrate with the person you lost to?"

Ray and I look at each other.

"Is that so?"

"It was my complete defeat and I don't feel bad about it because I'll win next time."

Ray smiles at me. He's a funny guy.

"Surely you don't think you've got a grasp of my power with just that one match?"

"I've never lost to the same opponent twice."

"I've never lost."

In response to my gaze that looks down from the high place I'm in Ray smiles his refreshing smile.

".......Why are you competing against each other again? I thought you were going for a victory celebration? I don't understand at all."

Sasha's complaint seems to come from the bottom of her heart.

"What don't you understand?"

"It's a difficult thing for girls to understand."

"Aah, I see."

We laugh together as we reach an understanding.

It felt like we could understand each other's thoughts and feelings without speaking.

There's some similarities to the master-servant relationship from the age of myths but there's more a sense of equality between us here.

Is this what friendship between men is like? It's not bad.

"Jealous?" Misha said to Sasha.

"I've said before but I'm not even though Misha keeps saying it."

"Shouldn't I?"

"It's fine. It's good you speak your mind."

"Hey! Don't answer for me! Misha asked me not you!"

What are you getting so excited for?

"I say what I want to say when I want to say it."

Sasha seems dissatisfied but I lightly brush her off.

"Anyway, let's go. There's a guy over there who's face is saying he's hungry."

"That would be me, but I can last another 10 seconds if needed."
