**Valier Junior** is the protagonist of The Demon Prince goes to the Academy.

## Background

In his former life, Valier Jr. was a human web novel author, though by his own admission, his work could be considered as second or third rate. He wrote numerous novels, but they all tended to fail due to his tendency to get lazy after a while, leading him to ignore the continuity or simply quit the serialisation and start a new novel under a different account. After growing tired of writing depressing stories, he wrote 'The Demon King is Dead', which was meant to be more light hearted. However, he couldn't figure out a proper ending to the story, leading him to create a plot where countless monsters from another world would flood the world from the so-called Gates, resulting in the story failing.

## Personality

Valier is an average young man. He looks out for his own well being, but has trouble ignoring the struggles of those around him. As Reinhardt, he is more rude, arrogant, and quick to snap, happily insulting those around him being overall anti-social.

## Plot

### Reincarnation

While reading hate mail for his novel, 'The Demon King is Dead', he died due to high blood pressure which resulted a cardiac arrest (Acute Myocardial Infarction). Kim, an agent of Hell's Soul Management Department, appears before his soul and hands him a form, asking him to verify that all the information within it is correct. He asks her questions about his death, but she gets annoyed at him. Kim then explains that when someone dies, they need to first atone for their sins before they can go to heaven and the novelist's sins were "quitting multiple serialisations and writing stories with terrible continuity". He wonders if that counts as a sin, but Kim explains that it happened so frequently that it increased the scale of the issue. To atone for his sins, he would need to pick one of his novels to be reincarnated into as a random character and survive until the ending. He decided to pick 'The Demon King is Dead', however even though he died while reading hate mail for it, he is most likely to survive in within the novel, though he can't remember why it failed. With a clap, Kim placed him in the body of Valier Junior.

### Saving Charlotte

After being knocked back by an explosion, the prologue event is triggered, telling him to successfully flee the castle. While Valier Jr. did not appear in the novel, he quickly surmises that he is the Demon King's son and he is at the start of the story, when the Demon Army is being defeated. He quickly begins to flee from the castle. Realising that as the demon king's son, he'll be kill if his is captured, he decides to look for something useful in the warehouse. After sorting through junk, he finds a magic scroll add attempts to use the teleportation spell in it, but is negated by the movement magic barrier. He then uses the Camouflage spell in it to disguise himself as a human in order to infiltrate the human prison in order to get saved along with the other prisoners. Upon making his was to the prison cells, he is shocked that all the prisoners are dead. He then notices a survivor, approaching her. He hands her a cracker that happened to be in his clothes from earlier. The Imperial Army then arrives to free them, and he is shocked that the girl turns out to be Charlotte De Gardias, the 1st Imperial Princess.

The two are taken to the imperial army field military camp where they share a meal and Charlotte thanks him for helping her. She offers to return him to him hometown, but Valier Jr. lies, stating that he can't remember it. Charlotte vows to help him recover his memories. Valier Jr. then realises that the princess will probably die because she was never mentioned in his novel and the prince would most likely eliminate her in his aim for the throne. He contemplates warning her, but she sends Lance away before telling Valier Jr. that his life is in danger, explaining that her brother, Bertus De Gardias, will attempt to assassinate her using the forces at the base. She then devises a plan for them to escape, using herself as bait so that Valier Jr. can find the knight William Francis.

As she distracts the guards, Valier Jr. sneaks away, but runs into Dyrus, who was guarding the area. When questioned about Sir Francis's whereabouts, Dyrus explained that Sir Francis already returned to the Demon King Castle to take care of the remnants of the army at Lance's request. Realizing that Lance predicted their plan, Valier Jr. tells him that Sir Francis and the princess are both in danger. The guard believes him, as Sir Francis warned him that someone might come after the princess.

On the way to the castle, Valier Jr. notices several demons being take as prisoners. Upon reaching the castle, Dyrus tell the guards that Valier Jr. needs to speak to Sir Francis, but the guards revealed that the Sir Francis died while battle the Demon army remnants. Valier Jr. quickly realizes that sire Francis was killed to cover up the fact the Charlotte was alive. Dyrus then asks to know the truth about why Valier Jr. said sir Francis was in danger, and Valier Jr. comes clean about the plot to kill Charlotte. Dyrus agrees to help save the princess. Valier Jr. then reveals that he has a plan and the two sneak into the castle and enter the warehouse. Valier Jr. quickly locates the magic scroll from earlier. They take that and several other scrolls. As they escape, they are forced to hide from Knights of the Salerian Army. One member of the army uses magic to locate them. The stone gargoyle statue next to them then begins moving and begins attacks the Salerian Army. Dyrus and Valier Jr. took the opportunity to flee.

While fleeing on horseback, Valier Jr. realises that the demon moved due to his Demon Domination ability. The Salerian knight then begin catching up to them. Valier Jr. then begins looking through the scrolls and locates the spell **Haste**, which he uses to speed up their horse. However, the Salian soldiers then begin shooting at them with crossbows. Valier Jr. then cats **Illusion** & **Charm** on the horses, successfully taking out 2 of their pursuers. Just as their horse begins to slow down Valier Jr. then sees several demon prisoners being led away and uses Demon Domination to take control of an Orc, causing it to attack the knights.

Dyrus and Valier Jr. manage to make it back to the camp, but a guard stops them from meeting with Charlotte. Dyrus then begins attacking the guards while Valier Jr. enters her tent. He quickly casts **Flash**, disorienting the others present and quickly takes Charlotte away with **Mass Teleport**, sending them to the Imperial Capital of Gardium. Upon reaching the city, Valier Jr. is slightly shocked about hos detailed it was. Valier Jr. then explains to Charlotte that Sir Francis is dead. Dyrus then appears, having used another teleport scroll to follow them. Dyrus properly introduces himself to Charlotte and explains the situation. while they made their way through the city, Valier Jr. uses the opportunity to sneak away.

### Enrolling in The Temple

After finding a location to rest, a notification appears informing him that he can change the main story and explaining achievement points. He uses 150 achievement points on Writer's advice, which tells him to go to the magic item's store. He attempts to sell some of the magic scroll in town, but he is repeatedly turned away as everyone assumes them to be fake. He eventually finds his way to a magic shop run by a a red haired woman in a cloak, and upon seeing the scrolls, the woman notes that the magic formula is only used by demons and demands to know where he got it from. Valier Jr. explains that he stole after escaping the demon King's castle with Princess Charlotte, and she hesitantly believes him. Deciding to try and recover his memories, she uses **Dispel** on him. This undoes his transformation magic, revealing Valier Jr.'s true form. Upon seeing his true form, she immediately bows and addresses him as "Your Highness", much to his confusion. The woman then undoes the transformation magic on herself, revealing her to be a vampire. She is sad that he doesn't seem to remember her, and leads him to her room the back of the store and offers him some sandwiches. She then introduces herself as 'Tuesday' Eleris, part of the Demon King Army's Gardiumn Infiltration Squad and states that she will serve him. She then told him that there are 2 other demons in the capital, Sarkegaar and Loyar. She suggests rebuilding the Demon World, but Valier Jr. rejects the idea, stating that it would lead to another war and that the Demon world is already dead. Eleris apologizes for her comment and leaves the room, but Valier Jr. notes that she seemed happy.

That night, Valier Jr. asks Eleris what kind of person he was in the past. She hesitantly tells him that he was great, but her tone leads him to be doubtful. They then decide to go to sleep, with Eleris joining him in the bed.

The next day, the two ignore the celebrations to get on the train to the Aligarh district. They reach the Bottom of the Bronze Gate and enter the sewers. There, they meet Loyar, who instantly bows to him. Eleris explains that Valier Jr. has lost his memory and Loyar is relieved and decided to reveal that Valier Jr. used to pull up her shirt and treat her like a dog. He apologizes and tries to shake her hand, but he ends up giving him her paw, much to her embarrassment. Sarkegaar then runs in and tackles Valier Jr. in tears. Sarkegaar suggests rebuilding the Demon Realm, but Valier Jr. rejects it claiming to be good for nothing. Sarkegaar then points out that he is an archdemon, with Eleris explaining that archdemons are the demon race that managed to stop the never ending wars in the demon realm. Sarkegaar then says that Valier Jr. should return to the demon realm to reunite the demons, but Valier Jr. sees that as too risky, instead suggesting that they stay in Gardium and learn about human culture before forming a strategy. Sarkegaar agrees, suggesting that Valier Jr. attend The Temple as it would allow him to grow stronger, to which Loyar and Eleris both agree. Valier Jr. points out he will be at risk if his identify is exposed, but Sarkegaar gives him a ring that he can use to change his appearance.

The next day, Loyar introduces Valier Jr., now Reinhardt, to Daibun who will take him to get his ID and enrol into The Temple the next day. Daibun questions how they intend to pay for tuition, something no one had thought of. Reinhardt suggest that they only convert the tuition for one semester and he will aim for a scholarship. When Daibun point out that they still cant cover the admission fees, Reinhardt suggests that they start selling toys by the Mana train. Noting that Loyar nearly insulted him, Reinhardt messes with her by reaching out his hand, causing her to sit and give him her paw, much to her embarrassment.

That night, Reinhardt ends up drinking with Loyar's Gang. After things die down, he tries to ask Daibun more about how their gang makes money, but the are cut off but Loyar appearing to admonish them. She then takes Reinhardt to a room to interrogate him. Once there, Reinhardt took the opportunity to ask her about her other source of income and she admits that the Rotary Gang helps the Gardias thieves guild collect information on beggars. She states that she is willing to tell him everything, but he doesn't need to know. Reinhardt decided to drop the subject.

The next day, Daibun gets him and ID and they head to the Admissions Office. The two of them go to the admissions window and Reinhardt tells the teller that he want to pay his tuition. The teller, judging by their appearance, realises that they only want to pay one semester and tells them that they do not allow that as it can lead to student borrowing money from each other later. Reinhardt immediately gives up, but Daibun pushes the teller to give him the examination. The teller then brings out the scanner and Reinhardt activates it. Looking at the result, the teller assumes it to be broken and get another one, which records the same results. The teller then reveals that Reinhardt has Aptitudes for every Skill and Magic.

Later, the relay this information to Loyar and Reinhardt concludes that its because the story needing to make sense with whatever route he chooses. When he is confirmed to be in class 1-A, Eleris is thrilled, but can tell that he isn't happy. Reinhardt recalls how Class A serves as antagonists and are eventually outshined by Ludwig, the main character, but he tells Eleris that he just feels pressured, leading her to encourage him. Reinhardt then asks why she wants him to enrol in The Temple and she reveals that she wants him to like humans. Eleris then gives him extra clothes and her necklace, the "Flame of Tuesday".

Later, Loyar gives him a large bag of gold coins, calling it his allowance. She explains that it was going to be his tuition, but since he got a scholarship, they don't need it. She then begins lecturing him on the importance of sleep before Reinhardt makes her leave. Reinhard then remember why The Demon King is Dead failed. He didn't have the talent to write a proper ending, so in the middle of the story, he had a gate to another world appear and start unleashing thousands monsters, leading the world to end. He contemplates running away, but cant bring himself to abandon Eleris, Sarkegaar and Loyar. He then decides to collect achievement points in order to either use **[Revision]** in order to write the ending or to personally fight the monsters.

At the academy entrance ceremony, he is approached by Ceres Van Owen, who recognises him as a new student and directs him to his dorm. Reinhardt enters is dorm room and is surprised by how nice it looks. After opening the welcome gift left to him, he decides to write down everyone he remember from the story. He manages to finish class A and B, but before he can get any further, the Royal class students are called to the central lobby. Upon reaching the lobby Reinhardt notes that the upperclassmen are scoping them out, but someone suddenly steps on his foot. Reinhardt looks up to see that it is Ludwig, the protagonist of the story, who quickly apologises. The two then introduce themselves. Ceres then announces the start of the welcome party and tells the students to walk to their seats. As the student begin introducing himself, Reinhardt is surprised that Bertus didn't use a fake identity like in the novel. Eventually Reinhardt introduces himself, noting that people are already gossiping about his infinite aptitude. Class B then starts and Reinhardt is shocked to see that Charlotte has enrolled as well.

After the ceremony, Reinhardt sees Bertus talking to Eric de Lafaeri and quickly deduces that the prince is making allies, also seeing how he failed to do so with Ellen Artorius. Ludwig then call out to the other students, but receives the cold shoulder due to being in B-class. Ludwig & Reinhardt then converse until Harriet attempt to leave. Ludwig tried to speak to speak to her, but she rudely reprimands and insults him for being in B-class. Bertus then interrupts and admonishes her behaviour. After Bertus and Ludwig leave, Reinhardt receives a notification that he had received 100 Achievement points for completing the first day, but is annoyed to realise that all the Talents costed at least 1,000 points. He decides to pick the cheaper "Supernatural Abilities" instead.

The next day, while in class Mr. Epinhauser explains the curriculum and appoints Bertus as the temporary class leader. Mr. Epinhauser then requests that Reinhardt follow him out of the classroom. In the teacher's lounge, Mr. Epinhauser explains that due to his infinite aptitudes, he has not set path for how he wants to study. Reinhardt explains that he wants to learn supernatural ability. The teacher explains that he could get kicked out if he fails to learn one and gives Reinhardt a class schedule, encouraging him to have a backup plan. Upon returning to the classroom, Reinhardt notes how he suddenly drew everyone's attention. Cayer Voiden then asks if he really has no talents and mocks him. Reinhardt then turns it around on him by pointing out that admissions office decided to enrol him in Class A and points out that blaming him doesn't make sense. He then mocks Cayer for having the talent of large mana reserves, but lacking any aptitude for magic before sitting back down. This event puts him on poor terms with most of his class. He then notices Bertus smiling at him.

Later on while in the cafeteria, he thinks about the event and regrets fighting Cayer. Later, while running track, Reinhardt is struggling to keep pace with Ludwig and Ellen both lapping him. While doing sit ups he notices that charlotte isn't participating. In the changing room, Cayer mocks Reinhardt's lack of Athleticism and the two begin to argue. Cayer once again questions how Reinhardt was admitted which leads Reinhardt to punch Cayer, but they are restrained before anything else could happen.

In the teacher's lounge, Epinhauser questions then and Reinhardt admits that while he his Cayer first, he did so because he believed that Cayer's remarks undermined the temple's authority. Knowing about Epinhauser's strong patriotism, Reinhard decides to use it to his advantage. He claims that Cayer's suggestion that Reinhardt was enrolled through unlawful means hurt the integrity of the temple and Reinhardt took that as an insult to the Gardias Empire. Epinhauser, then questions Cayer about his accusations while telling Reinhardt that he can go back to the classroom. Upon returning to the classroom, Reinhardt then laments that people now think he has a bad personality. Upon sitting down he sees that he had received 200 points for getting into a fight and wonders about other ways to earn points. Cayer and Epinhauser then return to the classroom and Epinhauser asks Bertus to collect everyone's pre-registraion forms. After turning in his form, Reinhardt hears Erich curse and walks out of the classroom to see him insulting a red haired girl on the ground wheel Ludwig helps her. He then decides to look through the supernatural abilities he can unlock, but is surprised to see [Self-Suggestion]]
