Chapter 87 S-Class Adventurers Battle The Demon Lord
Among the three top adventurers at Divine Gemstone, there was Aerial...
"What's up, guys?"
"Aerial-san! A super talented newcomer is here!"
The guild members pointed to the reception desk where Mercury stood next to Leaf and a beautiful white-haired Holy Maiden.
"Leaf-kun."
"Oh, Aerial-san! Haven't seen you around. Where were you?"
"Training on my own."
Leaf had been training guild members as requested by Guild Master Henrietta.
After getting stronger, everyone started their own training (or rather, everyone gave up).
Later, Aerial kept going into dungeons to improve her skills.
"Niina. Is this girl new?"
"Yes! This is Delka-san! Amazing, right after Leaf-kun!"
A girl named Delka sighs and mutters, "Right after, huh..." with a dejected expression. Well, following Leaf means essentially becoming the top in the guild. (*Leaf is exceptional)
"Hmm..."
Just as she laments her lack of strength, a promising newcomer appears. This guild might see the birth of a new S-rank member.
For the guild, this is a good thing. Yes, it's a positive development. More S-rank members mean the guild's value increases.
"Oh, right! Aerial-san, can I ask you to handle the next Combat Power test?"
"Huh, me...?"
Amidst the appearance of the promising newcomer and a hint of anxiety, a suggestion comes from Niina.
Honestly, it piques her interest. She wants to see how capable this newcomer really is.
Moreover, she feels she has gotten stronger from training and wants to test her strength.
"If it's okay with me..."
"Okay, let's go to the training area together!"

...Suddenly, Aerial found herself gazing up at the sky.
"What... was that just now...?"
While lying on the training ground, Aerial remembered the whole match against Delka (*Demon Lord).
Delka's weapon was a staff.
She couldn't use healing magic or spells in this battle, so she had to fight directly.
Delka held a long staff, while Aerial had a sword.
Despite the physical difference, Aerial thought she could win.
But as soon as the match started, Delka swiftly approached Aerial.
She skillfully deflected Aerial's sword, tripped her, and hit her head with the staff.
In the end, Aerial was easily defeated.
"I won!"
"Great job, Delka-san!"
Leaf and the others praised her for challenging and defeating the S-rank Aerial.
(...She's so strong, despite being so delicate!)
Aerial has a misunderstanding.
Delka is not just an ordinary person, she's a Demon Lord.
Because she has no chance to shine and her opponents are monsters (Arthur and Leaf), she appears weak.
But in reality, she is a formidable leader of the demon race.
Even if she's S-rank, she should not fall behind mere humans. Her innate powers even her magic skills.
However, Aerial doesn't know Delka's true identity, which makes her feel down.
Delka, being a woman like Aerial, should have trained herself.
Feeling disheartened, Aerial leaves the scene.
As for the remaining Delka...
"Delka-san! Want to spar with me?"
"EEEEEKKKK!"
Due to the quick outcome, a rematch with Leaf takes place.
But in the end, she was instantly defeated by Leaf.
