Oshiete D-sensei! Lesson 2
D「Greetings. We are back with everyone’s favourite segment.」
M「I’ll do everything to pretend the previous disgrace never happened.」
D「E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e-’s f-a-v-o-u-r-i-t-e!」
M「There’s no need to be so desperate… Well, let’s get on with it already.」
D「E-v-e-r-y-o… [That’s enough, okay?」」
D「Ahem. Starting from the beginning then, it is time for the second “oshiete D-sensei”. On this occasion we shall discuss the gods.」
M「Ahh, that’s torn it I guess.」
D「At the time of the Past Arc, it was impossible to give an explanation about the gods. There was no other way, so there was no option except for D-sensei to make an appearance. Thus, this segment was revived.」
M「How meta.」
D「That being said, the explanation will not be especially detailed. The subject of the gods becomes a huge topic once you start to discuss it, so I shall only explain the parts relevant to the Past Arc.」
M「Specifically, that would be regarding the dragons and angels, right?」
D「Correct. As was touched upon in Past Arc ③, the dragons are a bunch of damn fools who believe in the supremacy of dragons.」
M「Do not use such bad language! You’re not wrong though.」
D「Indeed, seriously, they really are a bunch of good for nothings. They are egotistical and haughty creatures who cannot accept not being the best. Nonetheless, since they are strong at least they are troublesome in the extreme.」
M「Since the one in charge of the exposition is doing nothing but complaining I shall give a detailed explanation. Dragons are born with the expectation of being able to reach the realm of gods sooner or later, so they could be called the elite from the moment they’re born. The origins of them are also ancient, as they are said to be the second oldest gods, following the oldest gods known as the titans. They have both history, and power. As a result, they flaunt their successes and don’t hesitate to declare that the dragon race are at the very peak, and in fact they rule over many planets.」
D「In short, they are cocky.」
M「Well, you’re not wrong. However, they do in fact have enough power to justify that. Being gods they carry an enormous amount of energy within themselves for a start, and their bodies are far sturdier than any human’s. In addition they have high intelligence.」
D「Due to their personalities that high intelligence is not readily apparent though. Being narrow-minded is not good. Gyurie-kun would surely also blush at how he acted in the past.」
M「Just how much do you hate dragons? Sheesh. Let’s continue the discussion. The greatest trait that dragons have is their boundary field ability. Being able to completely invalidate the workings of magecraft, is the boundary field trait that dragons possess. In modern times the dragons and drakes that appear have the magic obstruction skill which is a deteriorated version of the ability that real dragons have.」
D「The dragons and drakes that exist within the System are imitations of real dragons after all. The only true dragon left on that planet is Gyurie-kun.」
M「There’s no comparison between the boundary field of real dragons and the imitations. In particular, the individual recognised as the strongest dragon is even called the “The Unbreakable God”, boasting a defence that invalidates almost all attacks. Such a cheat eh.」
D「……Like you are one to talk?」
M「Oh my, what might you be referring to?」
D「Nope, nothing.」
M「Well, this is how the dragon species already boasts of possessing perfect strength. A species with such strength would intend to rule over worlds.」
D「STO-O-P! I shall explain from now on. Or rather, if I let you keep on with the explanations in my segment, it will totally become “oshiete Meido-sensei”. I shall definitely block any further explanations.」
M「Erm, well, okay. Go ahead.」
D「As a species the dragons certainly have great power, but the reason why they do not currently rule over worlds is due opposing forces, as I am sure you are already aware. One of them is the angels.」
M「There are forces other than angels, but those will be left out.」
D「There are a lot of them after all. If we started talking about them all it would never end. Anyway, with regards to the angel race, they are a bunch with a lot of mysteries about them. In the first place, it is said that they suddenly appeared after all. This was during the ancient times when the dragons had gotten full of themselves, and it is said that suddenly one day appeared beings who began to kill the gods. I had not yet been born then so I can only go by the rumours though.」
M「Those times were very chaotic, apparently. At any rate, during the period when there was the two great powers of the dragons and the titans, there was the sudden appearance of a third power.」
