Arthur's POV:
" I was little too harsh on him "
Good thing I have my spatial ring on me. I gave him a high grade potion for now. If not for his father, I would have honestly let him die since he was a big nuisance in the novel. Unfortunately, I can't risk making an enemy of an elite family, specially a one that is currently a good sided one. The Sylvicous were known for destroying demons without looking for any gain behind it unlike that elite family whom I will make sure to annihilate.
" I know that you are awake you demon "
" ?! H-how! "
"....."
Well I didn't, but I always wanted to act like a cool protagonist. Also it would be weird for him to lose patheticly against me. Even though my strength is currently at C rank, it wouldn't be this easy to take him out.
" Your puppetry arts... are you related to Dionys? Like in the same tribe or something? "
" Y-you?! How do you know of his excellency?! "
' holding my fist right above the demon ' he immediately answered me in fear
" Yes! "
As I thought, Dionys was powerful peak SS ranked demon who is known as the demon of envy. His magic can take control of others, but unfortunately for him his envy has gotten the best of him.... the bastard tried taking control of the demon lord himself.
" Do you want to live? "
" ?? Why would I believe you human? "
I really want to kill him... but I have to let Harold kill him to clear that mission and get the reward.
[ Dark Flame ]
" Y-you! W-why does a human have such dark magic?! "
" Listen carefully if you want to live....

Harold's POV:
" Huff! Huff! Now Harold! "
" Haaaaab! "
[ Last hope!!! ]
* SLASH *
.....
..
" Fuu... good job everyone! "
That was the last one. Thankfully everyone here is a top ranking student. With them, I think there's still hope in clearing this dungeon... even if was a small one.
" Nice skill Harold! "
'before I can thank Sophia for her compliment' a voice with urgency have interrupted my words
" Than-
" -HELP!!! "
""!???""
Hmm? A student? She seems quite stressed?
" Hff! Hff!.. P-please... help... Z-zen is in danger!!"
Zen? Does she mean Zen Sylvicous? Those damn elite families....
" Calm down and explain the situation please "
" Y-yes, I was with zen at the start but I had to take a break... Zen was searching the surroundings and then... I felt this terrifying energy! It wasn't like the Arachnids we hunted! It was definitely the dungeon boss! "
That must be the dungeon boss!!
" Harold.. it must be th-"
" -I also think so, it's probably the dungeon boss. please take us there"
I don't care about this elite family student, but if it was indeed the dungeon boss... then we must get rid of it.
" Y-yes! Please hurry up! "

Arthur's POV:
" Good, now that everything is settled. I will leave it up to the main lead "
! I almost forgot. What about Zen? Do I just leave him like that? I mean... at least he isn't going to die now after I treated him, but still he looks quite pathetic in this appearance...
"!!"
someone is getting closer 3? No four students? Why are they rushing in my direction? Did that bastard ignore my words and attack me with other students??
" That basta- "
" -Hff! Hff! Here! "
Hold on... isn't that Ana? What is she doing here? And what does she mean by here?
" Is that Zen?!!!"
Shit!! What the hell?! Harold...Livia and Sophia?! What are they doing here?! They aren't supposed to meet each other just yet! Wait... why are they looking for Zen?
" Zen!! Are you alright?!!!"
* Silence.....*
" check on him Ana! "
" O-okay! "
This is not looking good.... can I just leave? I mean... They didn't see anything so...
" You student with the red eyes....What happened to Zen? "
I guess I'm not leaving for now.... Urghh this is even worse than facing the demon.... I tried my best to stay as far away from them... and yet... here I'm
"....."
What do I even say? If I lied and then Zen woke up and explained the truth to them then I'm going to end up catching unnecessary attention, and If I say the truth that I beat a B rank demon then I'm still going to gain their curiosity....
" Hey you! Why are you not answering him? Didn't you hear wha--wait!!....I have seen you!!!! You are that trash from the train station!!!"
Sophia... I forgot about her damn stupid A rank talented memory... shit. how am I going to explain this to them?
" Trash? What do you mean Sophia? "
No shut it-
" - I saw him bullying a poor lady in the train station! This trash even threatened her and didn't apologize to her! He even was looking at me weirdly like a pervert! "
" Really? "
Fuck..... karma is truly a B... all this just from a small prank I made....
" You.... is she saying the truth?...."
"..."
I can't make a choice... the best thing to do is just ignore them and leave. I will just be act a little rude and annoyed to let them feel uncomfortable and leave me alone, it's not time just yet to make a choice here. They are still far too immature for them to know the truth....
" It's none of your business...I'm leaving "
Good... this should make them leave me for now-?!
Unfortunately for me, a sword blocked my way before I could leave the place....
" Where do you think you are going? "
This... is that his evolving sword ? How can this shabby old sword be a legendary rank for now?
" As soon as I saw you in the train station I wanted to beat the hell out of you "
This girl!! Why is she so annoying?! Can't you just shut your mouth? Is this the power of words women have? She made me look like the trashiest trash just from a small encounter in the train station? Why is she even that mad?
" Sorry, but I need you to answer some questions, otherwise we might use force on you. This situation seems a little weird. Right Livi-??? Hmm? What is wrong Livia? Why are you sweating? Are you okay? "
"..."
?? What the hell is she doing? Is she fidgeting? Did she get sick inside the cave or something? I have to remind her that I need to hide for now!
" Do you really want me to fight? Livia? "
" ??? Pftttt....look at this trash acting like he is some-"
" -Calm down Sophia, Livia can you please tell us what do think about this ? "
damnit say something! Tell them to leave me alone! Why are you silent?! Aren't you supposed to be the smartest one here? Why are you making it difficult for me? Seriously.. she looks like she is about to faint... is she fine?
" I-I-I think we should calm down and leave him alone! We shouldn't waste our energy since we still don't know how strong is the dungeon boss! "
Finally... what took her so long? Phew.. now I can leav-
"-Haa?! You think we will break a sweat against this trash?! You!! Where do you think you are goi-"
" -Stop it Sophia.... Let's follow what Livia said for now "
" YOU TOO?! "
Thanks goodness.... now that he drew back his sword, I can leave in peace.
