Come on, Give Them a Good Scare

In his previous life, A Nuo was an overworked office drone forced into a rat race. In this life, he's an elf who just wants to lie flat and coast.

Whether it was because he accidentally fell from the World Tree at birth or because his modern soul needed time to adjust to another world, he always spoke and acted slowly. He simply couldn't go faster, so he gave up trying.

The Magic Academy still has a rumor going around that the Elf Queen's younger brother isn't very bright.

Ludwig Asmodeus: divinely bestowed good looks, the eternally glorious bloodline of the Demon God, and acting commander of the Seventy-Two Legions.

An imperfect top student who failed a classical music appreciation class three hundred years ago, wanted to return to school to retake it, and still flunked.

Then one day, their fundamental powers were switched.

Elf A Nuo grew demonic bone wings and gained forbidden spells capable of destroying the world. The commander of the demon army… became nature's darling, a born bard.

A Nuo: What, hap, pened

Ludwig: ???

Ludwig: I've got classical music appreciation in the bag now.

A Nuo: What, do, you, mean?

Later, with the six-race grand tournament held once every six hundred years about to begin…

A Nuo: With, me

Ludwig: The entry ticket for the tournament is fundamental power. I'm a demon race elector, but now you are. You have to represent us and win!

A Nuo: Not, my, problem. [slowly… horrified.jpg]

Ludwig: Don't be scared. Come on! Show them your scary face!

A perfectionist demon who sometimes acts like a bratty schoolboy x an elf with an incredibly long lifespan, as behind the times as a 2G phone, and a sloth in a past life
