I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"The manager of that pastry shop is actually the academy president... Is this really not a comic book or novel world? Wait, Iris must have known that Watou is the academy president a long time ago, right? Why was she able to joke so calmly at the pastry shop?!"

"Isn't the dean a human too? Besides, he doesn't mind jokes."

"Yes, yes, that's right. Your Majesty, you must be more relaxed. Hmm—remember it's been two years? Your Majesty, how come you haven't changed at all? Is your nutrition not up to par? At fourteen, you still have this childish body. If anyone knows about it, you'll be laughed at."

"Hmph, I'm just not wearing a crown."

"Is that so? I did hear that the Demon King transforms into a man after donning the crown. But compared to that, little Lotte has grown up quite a bit. She's become a young lady that will drive nobles from all over the world crazy."

"Thank you for your kindness, Dean. If it weren't for your care two years ago, Miss Ella and I wouldn't be able to continue studying at the Holy Academy."

Lotte, who was sitting next to Ella, bowed her head with a smile.

Wadong touched his bald head embarrassedly.

"Even I'd be embarrassed to be thanked by a beautiful girl like Lotte. Over here are the Dragon Princess, Ji Lu Yue Shen Gan, and the Elf... the Elf Angeline Malbrune, right? Behind little Ella is the Executioner Camisia. Iris and I are already acquaintances. Who's that vampire lady over there?"

"Mitis Fred Enwe is now striving to become Mitis Not Mistin."

"Fufu, it's just as the report said, Iris? No, little Ella is already a harem king."

"Huh? If you keep saying that, I'll throw you out! I'm the only one like this with Mitis. The others and I have a normal relationship."

Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and Ella rolled up her sleeves, pretending to throw Wadong out. Wadong immediately put on a serious expression.

"Sorry, sorry, I lost my temper. Although Ella-chan and Lotte-chan already know my public name, I haven't revealed my real name yet. Now, let me introduce myself. My true identity is the former hero, the arbiter of fire and light, Yesus Cyril Baron, a level 61 warrior who has transcended the realm of heroism."

Chapter 4: The Four Seals of Original Sin

Wow - Yessus clasped his hands together and placed them on the table. His original laziness disappeared in an instant, replaced by a strong sense of solemnity. However, this feeling only lasted for less than a second before Yessus returned to his original appearance.

"Because of my status as a former hero, the old man who took over asked me to be the academy president. If it weren't for Lily, I would be living the life of a farmer in the countryside now. Wadong is my private name, so ladies, please don't reveal it."

The Lily that Yesus mentioned is the owner of the pastry shop that he opened with him. She is the daughter of the previous principal of the college.

"The Arbiter of Flame and Light? The legendary hero who quelled the unrest in the Abyss twenty years ago?"

Ruthie opened her mouth slightly, looking very surprised. Ella subconsciously looked at Ruthie, hoping that Ruthie could explain it for her. Ruthie immediately understood.

"The Abyssal Turmoil is a disaster that only occurs in the Far North Land of the Dead. Legend has it that at the border of the sea and the Land of the Dead lies a bottomless chasm, from which a black substance constantly gushes. Any normal creature that comes into contact with the black substance will be immediately infected, drowned, and ultimately die a painful death. The Land of the Dead developed into a realm dominated by the undead because only the undead can survive within the black substance."

"What is the Abyssal Turmoil?"

Not only Ella, but Mitis was also unaware of it.

"It's a phenomenon of black matter erupting sporadically due to unknown reasons. The amount of matter erupting can be hundreds or even thousands of times greater than usual. Remember the turmoil in the Abyss twenty years ago that even flooded the entire Land of the Dead and threatened the human kingdoms to the south. Ultimately, it was the Arbiter of Flame and Light and his companions, protected by a large army, who ventured deep into the Abyss and used a seventh-tier forbidden light spell to stop the further spread of the black matter."

"I didn't expect that Uncle Wadong had such a past..."

"Hehe, those are all past events that are not worth mentioning. Besides, compared to me, Camisia behind Your Majesty is the one who truly stands at the pinnacle of warriors. Even without me, when the cursed object threatens the demons, the Executioner and the Great Sage will take action."

Wadong paid respect to Camisia. Although Camisia was only two levels higher than Wadong, in real combat, Camisia, who had accumulated thousands of years of combat experience, had an overwhelming advantage.

"By the time Dean and I take action, I'm afraid half of the continent will have been devoured. That's why you are called a hero, Yesus, and I am just a warrior."

"No, now it seems I was just young and impulsive, meddling in other people's affairs. But let's get to the point. You have sealed four Seals of Original Sin within a year, a feat unprecedented not only in the Sacred Academy, but also in the entire continent. In addition to the rewards from the academy, other countries on the continent have also sent gifts of gratitude so generous that even I am tempted. This is the reward you deserve for your efforts for peace on the continent."

Yesus reached out to the side and took out a fist-sized gem from the pitch-black storage magic. Ella, who had seen it once, knew that this was a high-level space crystal that was only used to store very expensive things.

"Will His Majesty take care of it, or will it be handed over to our princess?"

Jesus first looked at Ella, then glanced at Iris with interest.

Elise waved.

"Give it to Ella-chan. I'll talk about my share later."

"Uh... As expected, it's Miss Iris. She has no intention of letting me go."

Originally, Yesus thought that giving the entire team's amount at once would satisfy Iris, but now it seems that the other party is determined to blackmail him.

"If you want to know who the core of the team is, why not just ask directly? Don't use this roundabout way to test them. Also, as for the other countries—perhaps the Bruzea Empire and the Kingdom of Barris, right? All gifts from those countries will be donated to the Sacred Academy. Gifts meant to bribe us will be declined."

"Miss Iris is still the same. Don't worry, I've already declined any gifts that clearly have other meanings for you."

Having said that, Yesus rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

"Then, can you please return the Seal of Original Sin to the academy? After the banquet, the academy will gather hundreds of scholars proficient in the art of sealing to seal it in the academy's deepest underground library. As the bearers of the Seal of Original Sin, you can come and see it together."

Although the words were spoken to everyone, Yesus's eyes were always on Ella, who was the core.

Without objection, Ella took out the four Seals of Original Sin that she had collected from the warehouse one by one. The light of the four elements intertwined with each other, giving people a very wonderful feeling, as if the Seals of Original Sin were calling for something.

"They are Gluttony, Wrath, Greed, and Sloth. Also, may I ask where the remaining three seals of sin are?"

"Pride is kept by the God-man Clan, the most dangerous jealousy is missing, and the remaining desires... are a bit more subtle. If Your Majesty is interested, I will explain them in more detail later."

"That's perfect."

He just wanted to test whether the Holy Academy could see through Mitis's disguise and was not interested in the other two Seals of Original Sin. Now that even Yesus, the dean of the academy, said that her whereabouts were unknown, it meant that the Holy Academy had no way to see or divine Mitis's whereabouts.

Yesus sighed as he looked at the Seal of Original Sin in his hand.

"Honestly, this is the first time I've seen the Seal of Original Sin. A Holy Spirit that could bring disaster to the continent is actually only the size of a palm. It's quite surprising."

"No, I was also surprised when I first saw it. I didn't expect the Seal of Sin to be usable as a magic item."

"Use? Is the Seal of Original Sin an item that can be used directly?"

"Well, as long as you inject magic power and imagine the magic in your mind, you can directly cast magic of the corresponding attributes without chanting the spell."

"That's truly incredible! No wonder the previous Demon King—excuse me."

Before he could finish his words, Yesus immediately put his hands on the table and bowed his head deeply to apologize.

Ella smiled wryly and waved.

"It's okay. After all, it's a true story. The late king did make the wrong decision back then."

While apologizing to the previous Demon King in her heart, Ella pretended to be very natural on the surface. What the previous Demon King had done was a history so distant that it was unimaginable to her. Without knowing the reason behind the matter, she had no way of judging right or wrong. But since it was just a superficial statement, she could only respond according to what the other party said.

"It's great that you don't care. To be honest, I was worried that I would lose the support of the demons because of my careless words."

"Is it really that serious? Well, being in a high position, I'm sure there are all sorts of considerations."

Ella nodded inwardly. What needed to be done had been done, and the current task was to quickly return to the Elf Territory.

"Now that we have returned the Seal of Original Sin to the Dean, it is time for us to leave the Holy Academy and head to the Elf Territory."

As Ella stood up, the rest of the companions also stood up.

"Are you leaving so soon? Stay at the academy for at least a month and let the students see what a true hero looks like before you go."

"No, we went to the elves because we had an agreement with the elves' messengers."

"Well... the academy is willing to use the teleportation array to transport you to the Elven Territory, so could you please stay at the academy for a week? If you can spar with the students and let them experience real combat, it will be a valuable benefit both to your reputation and to the training of the younger generation. Of course, the academy won't push you too far and arrange too many battles, and Your Majesty and your companions don't need to hold back just because they're students."

"Wow, just like Iris said, they're going to ask for a sparring match. I did plan to stay at the Sacred Academy for two days, waiting for Mitis to return the gifts to the girls, but since it's 'letting the students see it,' that means it's going to be a competition. I'm afraid there'll be a lot of students watching in the stands. I don't like that..."

Thinking of this, Ella waved to Yesus with a serious expression.

"Please forgive me for declining. We have just experienced a battle with the Mark of Sloth and need a long rest."

"Is that so... Well, there's nothing we can do. There will be a dinner tonight to celebrate your return to the academy. I hope Your Majesty and your companions can attend."

"Well, we'll be there then."

Elise could be seen giving Yesus a thumbs-up sign in the corner of his vision. Ella paused for a moment, then immediately thought of how she had rejected the sparring request with a reasonable excuse. Perhaps Elise was about to do something, and Ella couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at Yesus. However, Yesus was busy talking to the maid who had hurried in and didn't notice.

After the maid left, Yesus turned and looked at Ella with an apologetic look.

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. The dean has his own things to do, right? So, we'll leave first."

"Ah, thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty. You don't have to leave the table for me. We were just a bunch of little guys trying to get the title of hero."

"You want to inherit the name of a hero? Is the name of a hero something that can be inherited?"

Mitis asked with wide eyes.

"Well, if you want to know, Miss Vampire, please listen to my explanation."

Chapter 5 Dinner

After the morning conversation, it quickly became evening, and the venue for the dinner was chosen to be a luxurious hall in the Holy Academy.

The aroma of wine and food mixed together, along with flowing music and soft goose yellow lights. Young girls in gorgeous dresses and neatly dressed young men were chatting and laughing in the venue, deepening their affection for each other, while the rest of the people were looking around as if searching for a target. Almost no one was concentrating on enjoying the food. It was obvious that they were enjoying the lively and elegant dinner atmosphere very much. The dinner had just begun.

Except for one place that seemed a bit noisy.

"Hey, you stepped on me!"

"Let me speak to His Majesty!"

"Ahh, what beautiful blonde hair! You must have spent a lot of time maintaining it, right?"

"And the skin too. This soft and tender feeling is something only babies have."

"You look only twelve or thirteen. Wouldn't it be confusing and difficult for you to become a demon king at such a young age?"

As one could see, Ella, the Demon King, was surrounded by students—or rather, girls, because all the male students were blocked outside the circle by the demon students.

The reason why this happened can be traced back to a quarter of an hour ago.

At that time, Ella and her companions had just finished their speeches and were walking off the stage together. As it would have seemed unkind to just leave, everyone stayed inside the venue and began looking for their favorite food. Naturally, the students who wanted to talk to the hero up close took this opportunity to rush forward and ask some interesting stories about the subjugation of the Seal of Original Sin. Of course, the others just waved their hands and gave perfunctory answers, but Ella and Angeline, who had little experience in such occasions, answered every question. As a result, Ella and Angeline left the team and were surrounded by students. As for why Angeline was not there, it was because she was rescued by Iris in the middle of the process and was able to escape.

"And I heard he can use healing magic. He's a demon, but he's a healer. He's more like an angel than a demon king."

"And he's willing to talk to us lower-ranking nobles. He's much friendlier than those upper-ranking nobles who look down on us."

"That's because I'm surrounded by you, so I have to continue! After all, I don't even know which of you are upper-class nobles and which are lower-class nobles."

Resisting the urge to push these girls away, Ella pretended to smile and answered the questions one by one. Although these girls would sometimes touch her hair or pinch her arms, it was still acceptable and much better than the senior students she met when she worked at the Wadong Dim Sum Shop.

"I heard that Your Majesty is a healer in the Branch of Disaster. What should you do if you're shorthanded and get attacked by monsters? I'm a healer myself, and my teammates usually leave a warrior with me to prevent this kind of situation. But I think that's still a bit of a drag. Besides flying magic, are there any better ways to deal with it?"

"Hmm... maybe it would be better to use 'Magic Shield' combined with 'Acceleration' magic to escape."

Although most of the time she would use a hammer to knock monsters away, this was definitely not what a normal healer would do, so Ella consciously did not tell the truth.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and most of the students looked surprised.

"You can avoid being attacked just by using 'Magic Shield' and 'Acceleration'... There's no time to chant in such a short time. And with the strength of the 'Magic Shield' alone, it will be broken in an instant."

"That's His Majesty's way. We ordinary people can't possibly imitate him. Perhaps His Majesty has already been able to cast first-level magic without chanting."

A student with short black hair and a handsome appearance patted the shoulder of the student who asked the question.

"Your Majesty must be level 20 now. That's great! You've already broken through the level 20 barrier at just twelve years old. My dream is to reach level 20 before I die."

"Alright, alright, girls should talk about girly things. Your Majesty, at twelve, is old enough to get engaged. What do you think? Are there any interested? If it's the Sacred Academy, I'm sure I can find a gentle and considerate noble man with a first-rate family background and strength, okay?"

The topic jumped to this point, and Ella tilted her head in a "Huh?" before immediately answering the question from the girl who looked like an upper-class aristocrat. If she continued to dwell on this issue, it would probably turn into a serious rumor.

"I don't have such plans yet."

"Well, some nobles remain unengaged even after reaching adulthood. Given your Majesty's status and power, you must consider this carefully."

"I heard that your Majesty's name is Elelaya Nott Mistytin? Princess Fariaruchi's beloved is Elelaya. Could it be that your Majesty is that Elelaya?"

"Fariaruci-sama? Are you talking about the princess of the Godman tribe? She seems to be in the Branch of Disaster as well."

"Ohhh! This is such unforgettable news! The forbidden love between the princess of the God-man clan and the demon king of the Demon clan. They're enemies yet they adore each other... Ahhh, I'm melting with sweetness."

"No, no, wait, that's not it—"

"I heard from a former senior that Princess Fariaruchi publicly declared her love for Elelaya. Is this true?"

"Hmm."

Iris did say that, but it was just a prank to tease herself. However, if she told the truth now, it might greatly reduce the impression of Iris in people's minds. Ella couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and it was this moment of hesitation that pushed the girls' curiosity to a climax.

"Ohhhhh!!! You guessed it right! Don't worry, don't worry about your status, just be bold and be together! Sister, we will use our family background to help you behind the scenes."

"If I tell this to my aunt who works in the military, she'll surely be interested in these stories and encourage more people to try. Although the Kingdom of Barris is a bit far from the Eastern Continent, if you're thinking of eloping, please come find me."

"What's with all that talk of eloping? At a time like this, the entire clan should be mobilized to fight to the bitter end. Sacrificing the world for the one you love is so romantic just thinking about it. If someone is willing to do that for me, I'd be willing to die for it."

The topic gradually developed in an uncontrollable direction. Ella shrank back timidly. If possible, she even wanted to crawl out from under the floor, but unfortunately, that was a plot that only appeared in comedy works.
