Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

"I will accompany you next time."

"....Forget it, who made us friends? We still can't argue too much."

.......

There was no way to guarantee that she wouldn't anger Fei Lun, so Fulilian was easily persuaded by Ash, and her face didn't even feel like he had slapped her in the face.

The two of them just sat side by side in silence on the swing in the courtyard, staring at the sky in a daze.

After a long time, Fulilian seemed to remember something, looked at the sky and asked casually:

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered... The kid named Kang Ni said that the first-level magician you dated seemed to respect you very much. According to the description, it seemed that he was the person we met at the Magic Association?"

"Well, it's Zanze."

"Be honest!" Fulilian suddenly turned her head to look at him and said with an unprecedented seriousness: "Do you have a high status in the Continental Magic Association? Can you just get us all a certificate of a first-level magician?"

"...Let me be frank, Celie is the founder of the Magic Association. Do you think I have a high status?"

"Liar? Celia??" Thinking of Celia who tore up her master's suicide note thousands of years ago and scorned her master's ideals, Frilian couldn't help but frown:

"Are you lying to me? She will come out to teach humans? She was so opposed to it before?"

"...If you think I lied to you, you can go find her yourself."

"...Forget it, I believe you."

She couldn't think of a reason to deceive, so Fulilian weighed it and gave up trying to verify... After all, she and Celie couldn't get along, otherwise they wouldn't have seen each other for a thousand years.

But thinking about it seriously, she couldn't help but asked: "Since it's Celia, if you could just ask me a little bit, I should..."

"——Can you think about it for me? If I really want to become a first-level magician, will she agree happily??"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Why don't you go?"

"...To be honest, when you said that Celie was the founder, I didn't even want to participate." Fulilian looked reluctant and depressed: "Because she will definitely not let me Passed.”

"What did you just tell me? How will you know if you don't try?"

"Well, it's better to pretend that I didn't say it..."

Although it was not the same, it was somewhat similar to her position. Fulilian quickly gave up saying anything to him and was forced to accept the status quo.

The two of them just looked at the sky and chatted.

For a long time, it was not until Kang Ni, who had changed into Feilun's clothes, made a face and left that the two of them were able to return to the room.

Although Fearon was angry and didn't talk to him at all, she still helped him carefully arrange the bedding and supplies in his room, and let him lie down on the bed with some emotion - exercising his magic power as before.

............................

The next day, Philon still didn't talk to him, but Kang Ni came to play again, and also brought a new companion, another friend of Philon's.

But there was no exception. The other person, like Kang Ni, held a lot of prejudice against him and did not intend to talk to him at all.

Fearon was angry for several days and didn't talk to him for several days, but slowly resumed the previous communication with him... Although there was still a feeling of awkwardness at the beginning, he was busy and would leave the Magic City from time to time. .

And time was passing rapidly during this period... In the blink of an eye, the time for the first round of first-level magician selection exams came.

Behind the podium at the top of the venue's stairs stood a middle-aged examiner whom Ash had some impression of but had forgotten his name. He must have met twice within ten years of becoming a first-level magician.

The examiner scanned the scattered crowd below and directly announced the rules of the exam:

"This exam is a group battle. The total number of people taking the exam is 58. Three people take the exam in groups. If one more person is left alone, it can only be considered unlucky... After all, luck is also a part of strength. If you are alone, you will be alone. You can’t blame anyone else.”

The examiner above was so finished that for some reason he seemed to glance at Ash's face, and as if he was worried about being discovered, he quickly looked away and assigned the groups with magic bracelets.

But the words engraved on Ash's silver bracelet are...

"Twenty...? Is this a behind-the-scenes operation? Or is it a deliberate attack? Or is it just my bad luck?"

Ash looked at the words on the bracelet and felt a little doubtful about life for a moment. Fulian followed him and found the number. She couldn't help but reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

This made him feel a little moved: "Fu Lian, are you willing to trade with me..."

"No~ I just want to tell you that the exam should be fair and just, so even if we are friends, I will not show mercy. This time it will depend on each other's strength~"

Fulilian interrupted his move and smiled enthusiastically: "To be honest, I wasn't interested at first, but now... I'm somewhat looking forward to it."

"....You are truly my best friend."

"Ah, do you need to say more?"

He usually has a lot of grievances, so Fulian is quite interested in getting someone to deal with him if he has the opportunity.

This made him look towards Feilun with hope.

After confirming each other's numbers, Feilun said seriously with a sense of business: "I am very much looking forward to competing fairly with Master Ash."

"....What are you looking forward to?"

"Let you really see my growth."

"I've seen it..."

Firen rarely showed interest, so although he wanted to sigh, he couldn't say anything to discourage him.

Although he felt that these two companions had become opponents and were obviously targeting him, he felt the so-called fickleness of the world and was a little depressed... but that was it.

Although he originally thought that it would be okay to just find an excuse to give up, they were so interested, so he felt that it seemed not good to just give up.

However, he still wanted to see the brilliance of human nature, so he cast his eyes on Yubel who was looking at him with a smile with the last hope.

"Yubel, although there were some misunderstandings at first, I should have treated you well later... Maybe, that's it?"

"Don't you understand~?" Yubel opened his half-closed eyes and smiled maliciously.

Undoubtedly, he still planned to take this opportunity to settle the old grudges.

Now he completely recognized the reality. It was probably the retribution for not doing good things on weekdays. His companions not only intended to do things impartially, but also some of them wanted to target him.

"Sure enough... I'll just keep you company for a while. After all, I don't like to lose either."

Although the other party had companions and he didn't, it was not a big deal at all. Just like Fulilian, he felt that things suddenly became interesting.

After all, his goal was the world. If this level was not enough, he might as well give up and go home early, and hug the thighs of the rich loli (Zanze) who was watching on the side.

The burial of Fulilian·The official start of the journey: Chapter 26 Are you here for an exam or an outing?

Facing these girls who were going to take revenge and complain, Ash could understand that this was somewhat related to his usual behavior.

But he didn't plan to change. After all, it was better to change others than to change himself.

"Forget it... Anyway, it must be your fault. You bullied an old widower like me. Even if it's not for my own sake, I have to teach you a lesson for the sake of justice." At the end of the brainstorming session, he made a bold statement with a righteous look on his face.

But...

"This person... actually has the nerve to say such a thing?" Fulilian looked at him coldly, and the disdain in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.

Philen looked at me with an almost identical cold gaze, and couldn't help shaking his head:

"... Lord Ash's character really needs to be corrected. At least he should be gentler to girls. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to find a partner for so many years."

"Although I knew you were shameless, I didn't expect you to lie to this extent... Well, I understand you better." Yubel put his hands behind his back and smiled: "But, let's get to know each other in the examination room~ I will treat you the same way as you did to me before?"

"Of course there is no problem... Since you must do this, I can only follow the rules, but by then - who is the prey and who is the hunter is uncertain."

Looking at the girls who either looked at him differently or were full of fighting spirit, he also gave them a provocative look without admitting defeat.

At this moment, the family and friends group broke up completely.

Although their goal should be to pass the exam and become a first-level magician, but... it seems that they have more resentment in their daily lives?

Just when everyone followed the examiner and prepared to leave the scene, Philen suddenly looked at him and said solemnly:

"I don't need Lord Ash to show mercy, but... If you can't become a first-level magician, I will be very angry and won't talk to you for a week!"

"... In the end, all the most troublesome things were given to me?"

"Of course... You said it yourself, men should be responsible, right?" Philen raised his head and showed a malicious smile: "So, Lord Ash... Let me take a good look at your responsibility~"

After saying this to herself, she nodded happily and walked away without waiting for a reply.

"... Philen is still a little angry, so she said that? But I don't like forced responsibility..."

Although taking care of children, sometimes you have to endure the willfulness of children, and he understands this.

Philen, who has regained his smile, is also very cute, and it seems that there is not much to complain about.

However, his sight quickly turned to the two first-level magicians who were watching from a distance, and among them was the small figure of Zanze.

...........................

Falxiu, who was in charge of the auxiliary affairs of this exam, was wearing glasses and looked to be in his 30s. He was a little puzzled by his gaze.

And Zanze, who was one of the examiners and was mainly responsible for the second round, turned his head away stiffly and avoided his sight.

"There are really many strong players this year..." When the bespectacled man Falxiu, who looked like a researcher, scanned the surroundings, he unexpectedly noticed Zanze's unnatural behavior and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Do you know that young man?"

"...This is not a matter of recognition." Thinking of someone's little willfulness that seemed to deliberately make things difficult for others, which resulted in being forced to operate in secret on the bracelet, Zanze, who felt somewhat guilty, said casually:

"You were the one who passed the meeting last time...and Master Seriai held a meeting two years ago. You probably haven't seen him outside."

"Is he a very powerful guy? By the way... Lady Celie actually meets outsiders? Doesn't she even ignore nobles?" Fal Xiu couldn't help but stared at Ash in confusion after hearing this, while observing his magic power fluctuations, While evaluating: "...the fluctuation of magic power must be hiding the strength, but it is weird that the original magic power cannot be seen. Is there any special magic used?"

"....You will know it soon. If you can't wait, you can ask others. Most of them will know."

Facing Ya Xiu's gaze, Zan Ze, who bowed his head with a guilty conscience, was not in the mood to chat with this "new" colleague.

It is worth mentioning that Celie is one of the very few people who is not afraid of authority, and the old court mage who participated in the exam, the second-level magician Duncan, is a standard admirer of power, and has seen many people who are better than herself. Magicians who are excellent, even comparable to first-level magicians, are persecuted, imprisoned, and executed.

But there is no other way. Most of the powerful people in this world are obedient to the nobility and the country, and will not resist even if they are persecuted. Under the circumstances, this kind of rules cannot restrain the eccentric, egoistic, and willful Celie, so this The palace magicians who have gained power can only come and take the exam obediently.

Because when the Magic Association was first established, Celie, who had just stepped out of the mountains, had conflicts with the Goddess Cult and the nobles of the Holy City, and even almost destroyed the Holy City.

And this matter was kept secret by the Holy City out of dignity. As a result, Ash later learned that Celia had taken an unusual path, and he finally understood Celia's character and how she established magic. Association's.

Specifically, it is probably the direct use of force to establish status, so that laws and rules will be defeated by extraordinary power, so that the nobles can do nothing even if they hate such an unruly person... After all, Celie I won't go to jail like other magicians.

So when it came to Ash, he directly gave Celia the privilege - it wasn't that he was filial to his master and wanted to protect Celia, but he was just worried that one of his own would suffer, and he didn't want anyone to be blind. Go mess with her and cause trouble for yourself.

............................

............................

The venue for the first round of exams is a suburban basin far away from the Magic City.

The huge city-level magic circle enveloped a lake in the basin and a large forest on the edge.

"...In this examination area, there is a small bird called the meteorite." The examiner introduced the bird while picking up the small cage and showing the bird in the cage to everyone:

"The birdcage has just been given to you. Its targeted barrier can block the meteorite bird; and there are only two conditions for the examination. First, capture the meteorite bird and put it in a cage and bring it before sunset tomorrow. Secondly, The second one is that all members of the team must survive.”

After saying this, the examiner paused again and handed out a bunch of magical signal transmitters, which were like signal guns, to everyone.

Each gun can only fire a signal flare once, and it will be considered a failure if it is fired or lost. Each gun has a specific magic mark as an exclusive mark, and it can be displayed in front of you after it is fired, so others cannot attack.

There is also a small safety zone set up at the edge of the examination room. Those who surrender can go there first, and they are considered to have given up when they reach the safety zone.

After hearing this last rule, everyone seemed a little surprised, especially with Fulilian.

Another good friend of Philon who is on the same team as Connet - Rabigne.

The girl has long silver hair that reaches her waist, beautiful blue eyes, and wears a carefully matched blue dress. The skirt is light and swaying and complements the over-the-knee white boots.

As far as the clothes are concerned, the clothes are full of gothic lolita feeling, but... Rabine has an unexpectedly graceful figure - the breasts are unexpectedly very material, and the lines are full yet elegant. Her tall and straight figure and graceful curves perfectly interpret the essence of "contrast cuteness". She can be said to be a beautiful girl with the feeling of a young lady.

Picture: "Rabinet and Connet", location: "Images/1725303226-100409035-112081241.jpg"

But at this moment... Rabine, who seemed to be a young lady, was roughly suppressing Kang Ni to the ground, and seemed to be fighting with her.

But just like most situations in Ash's house - Rabine had the upper hand as usual, suppressing Conne.

"...I didn't care about human life at all in the past. What happened this time? By the way...!"

Because several of her brothers were members of the Magic Association, Rabine knew something about the exam in the past, but she was only half surprised. She pressed down Kang Ni who was desperately resisting below, and demanded through gritted teeth: "Kang Ni ! Give up the resistance quickly! Give me the cage!"

"No! I should hold this -! Rabine should give up!"
