"Wow, that's amazing! I can't believe an Arc Demon, the natural enemy of humans, completely obeyed you...!"

 "I have learned many powerful dark arts in addition to the slave contract. Black Magicians can master any dark art if they reach the maximum level. It's the only advantage I have since I'm unable to learn skills."

 However, even if I am able to learn how to do it, there are strong disadvantages and restrictions that cause some arts to be rendered useless.

 Normally, with the assistance of skills, disadvantages are substituted and restrictions can be released. However, since a Black Magician is a deviant class that cannot learn skills, such a convenient work around doesn't exist.

 But wait... I'm in my second cycle, and since it's still so early I shouldn't have been given a class yet?

 Isn't it possible then that I can acquire another class in addition to black magician? There has never been a person with more than one class in history, but...

 No, no, there's something more important than those considerations right now.

 “Colette, listen carefully. Today, you will be given the class of a Saint. I can guarantee it."

 "eh……?"

 Colette blinked her eyes.

 "I know it must be hard to believe."

 “However, after you are made a Saint, you will be imprisoned in the royal castle for more than five years in order to develop a divine barrier to protect the Holy Capital. We will also have our engagement annulled."

 "W-What are you saying...? I don't want that! I want to be with Kai forever!"

 "Ah, that's right."  I remembered.

 Colette said so in her first cycle of life, and desperately protested against my expulsion.

 Because of that, I was able to work hard all those years and become a member of the Hero's Party without ever going astray.

 The end of that path was the worst...

 "...Then, would you like to come with me? We can hide somewhere in the frontier, forget about everything, and live quietly together."

 I told her things that I could never have said in my previous life.

 "Kai, th-that's...! I'm so happy! To have Kai confess to me!"

 Colette shook her shoulders and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

 "Yeah! I don't need the status of a saint or an aristocrat. I want to be with you forever!"

 Colette gave me a hug, and I happily returned it.

 "I was really stupid in my first cycle."

 I believed that if I lived a good and ascetic life, I would be rewarded someday.

 I should have gotten what I really wanted without holding myself back.

 “…Thank you. Colette, now go to Lacus Village on the frontier and hide yourself. In the event that a demon lord is born, that place will escape the ravages of war. "

 "Huh? Kai, won't you come with me?"

 Colette made a worried face.

 “I will prevent the birth of the Demon Lord."

 "Oh, I get it! Even if you become a level 999 black magician, Kai is still Kai after all. For the sake of the world and people, you want to prevent the birth of the Demon Lord!"

 "... Oh"

 Colette misunderstood and was deeply moved, but my purpose is not for the sake of the world.

 "There is one more thing that needs to be done before we leave."

 "Today, my twin brother, Ares, will receive the Hero class."

 He was in love with Colette.

 "If we leave him alone, it will definitely become an obstacle for us."

 In order to take revenge, he would meticulously crush the hero Ares.

 Instead of killing him, he will be thrown into a living hell that he will never be able to crawl back from.

 But Colette doesn't need to know about that.

 I want to protect her so she can always show me her carefree smile.

“I will be waiting for you in Lacus Village."

 Colette smiled brightly and held out her pinky finger.

 "It's a promise, then. I'll clean things up here as soon as possible so I can pick you up."

 I also hold out my pinky finger and intertwine it with hers.

 It gave me a warm feeling. It's as though I have returned to my childhood when I knew nothing.

 "You are the most important person to me."  You were always the one who melted my frozen heart.

 "Eheheh. Then... let's have a wedding together."

 "Yeah, we will."

 I nodded even though I was embarrassed.

 The true battle begins here.

 Preventing the birth of the Demon Lord does not mean killing the Demon Lord.

 It's the other way around.

 I must rescue the high-rank demon Griselda from Ares before she awakens as a Demon Lord.

 And then I will build a friendly relationship with the demons through Griselda.

 The Holy King would be furious if he learned that I had eloped with Colette--that I had kidnapped the Holy Maiden who was needed to protect the Holy Kingdom.

 It's only a matter of time before we get pursued.

 In order to survive, the cooperation of the demons was essential.

 Griselda, a girl who will become a Demon Lord, is currently trapped inside the mansion of the Marquis of Austin with her friend.

 Griselda's friend was killed by the hero Ares, and she awakened as a demon lord in her anger.

 The Demon King Griselda hated humans and tried to destroy them.

 Who would have guessed that the Hero who is the people's hope is actually the one who drove them to ruin?

 This was a top secret in the world's first cycle.

 But in the decisive battle with the Demon Lord, I learned the truth.

 'False hero! You killed my friend Sasha for your own amusement! I will never forgive you!'

  Griselda screamed this at him before the battle began.

 In that case, if I help Griselda's friend, I should not only be able to prevent the birth of the Demon Lord, but also gain the cooperation of the Demons.

 ……I will overturn the future of being used, betrayed, and killed like garbage.

 Regardless of whether my enemy is my blood father or younger brother; nor if it's the kingdom's strongest Holy Knight Commander or Hero; he will show no mercy.

 The weakest dark attribute class Black Magician versus the strongest light attribute class Hero.

 Now, let's start rebelling against fate.
