Interlude 1 “Ha!?” When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the infirmary of the castle. What had happened since then? I remembered being ordered by the Princess to kill Mizumoto Shu and Rio-chan. Then, I had attacked Rio-chan, who had let her guard down, and stabbed her. But I was countered by Mizumoto … Growth Rate Skill Maximizer – Chapter 65

He’s seriously lacking in basic human … Growth Rate Skill Maximizer – Chapter 61
Chapter 60: Flight and Accusation As the smoke from the massive explosion cleared, there was no one left standing. However, perhaps due to the controlled blast that spared her, Princess Lily managed to rise unsteadily to her feet. I had questions for her, and it would be troublesome if she fainted in a place like … Growth Rate Skill Maximizer – Chapter 60
Chapter 59: Duel “Are you sure you want to do this alone?” “You’re in the same boat.” Shimizu’s warning echoed in the air, but it was a mutual understanding. With the Princess’s orders weighing heavily on him, Nagai seemed destined to play a defensive role. The clouds above thickened ominously, flashes of lightning flickering intermittently. … Growth Rate Skill Maximizer – Chapter 59
Chapter 58: Encounter My mind struggled to grasp the shocking truth. The mere presence of a member of the Demon Tribe within the castle’s walls signaled the end for the Arclight Kingdom. The thought of defeating the Demon King felt utterly absurd now. “How convenient of you to come out here on your own,” a … Growth Rate Skill Maximizer – Chapter 58
Chapter 57: Infiltration of the Core As I surveyed the castle once more, I realized that there was no one left standing on two legs. To be honest, my classmates weren’t much of a threat after all.
