(Attendances… plz…)

Just seconds after the demon crashed through the wall, the trio burst into the ruined hall. They saw the fresh blood on the floor, the terrified little girl, and Reinhard, whose white uniform was now soaked in red where he held the child.
"What happened, Reinhard?!" Kaval yelled, his eyes wide with fear. Then he, along with Gido and Ellen, noticed the gaping, freshly made hole in the side of the building.
Reinhard turned to them, his expression grim. He walked over to the party, his movements calm and deliberate. "I'm sorry," he said, "but can you hold this child for a few minutes?"
He didn't wait for an answer. He gently placed the weeping girl into Ellen's arms.
"I will explain all of this later," he told them, his voice low and serious. "But I have to deal with someone right now. I hope you can hold out for another few minutes. It won't take long. Thank you."
And then, just like before, he vanished from the spot. He reappeared outside, standing over the Archdemon as it struggled to pull itself from the rubble.
"You bastard!" the demon snarled, coughing up black blood. "How dare you hit me? I will make you pay for this insult! I will kill everyone related to you, your family, your friends!"
Reinhard just stared down at him, his eyes empty of any warmth. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice flat. "Was that supposed to be a threat? I didn't hear anything other than an insect squealing like a pig."
The demon's eyes twitched with fury. It gathered its magical energy and unleashed a torrent of black fire, a high-level spell that should have incinerated any human on the spot. But Reinhard simply swatted the entire magical attack away with the back of his hand, redirecting the massive blast harmlessly into the sky.
Before the demon could react, Reinhard dashed forward. He drove his knee into the demon's chest, the impact cracking its ribs. Not giving it a single moment to recover, he grabbed one of its twisted horns, swung the demon over his head, and slammed it into the ground. Again. And again. And again. The earth cracked and splintered under the repeated impacts, stained dark with the demon's blood.
"J-just… what the hell are you?!" the demon managed to choke out, its teeth shattered.
Reinhard didn't answer. He just continued to smash the demon into the ground until, with a final, sickening crack, the horn he was holding snapped off in his hand. But he didn't stop. He grabbed the jagged, broken stump and, with a vicious tug, ripped it right out of the demon's skull.
The demon let out a shriek of pure agony. Reinhard then grabbed its other horn and used it to haul the broken creature into the air, throwing it high into the sky. When it reached its peak, he appeared above it.
"W-what are you?" the demon gurgled from its bloody mouth. "Are you… a hero?"
"I don't know why that matters when you're about to die," Reinhard said, and then he kicked. The demon shot down from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the ground outside the town and creating a massive crater.
…
Back in the hall, the trio could only watch in stunned silence. This wasn't a fight. It was a one-sided beatdown.
"Is that the same kid who asked to join our party?" Kaval whispered, his voice trembling.
"Is he a secret hero from another kingdom or something?" Gido added.
"If he is, he has to be a Summoned," Ellen said, holding the little girl tighter.
Kaval swallowed hard. "Hey… I know I act proud sometimes, but I didn't say or do anything to make him angry… did I?"
"I don't think so," Gido said nervously. "Unless it's something he considers disrespectful."
"I for sure didn't say anything!" Ellen insisted. "On the contrary, I was sweet to him."
"Forget it for now," Kaval said, shaking his head to clear it. "Let's search the other rooms. There might be other survivors."
…
In the crater, the Archdemon gasped for breath, trying to heal its shattered body. Reinhard landed softly beside it, his cold eyes fixed on the broken monster. "How does it feel?" he asked.
"St-stop…" the demon begged, its voice a pathetic rasp. "We can… make a… deal… Anything… Anything you want…"
Reinhard reached down and lifted the demon from the ground by its neck. As its legs dangled uselessly, he tightened his grip, cutting off its breath. He then took hold of its last remaining horn and began to pull, slowly and painfully twisting it from its socket. The demon's eyes filled with tears of blood as it let out a silent, choked scream.
Just as Reinhard was about to deliver the final blow, a calm, amused voice spoke from behind him.
"Impressive. Very impressive."
A clapping sound followed. Reinhard turned, his cold gaze falling on a girl dressed in pristine white clothes. She had long white hair, striking red eyes, and a small, amused smile on her face, as if she were watching a particularly entertaining play.
"To defeat an Archdemon so easily, so one-sidedly," the girl continued, her voice light and melodic. "While they are incredibly weak, to a human, they are like a natural disaster. Yet you beat this one down so brutally. I must say, I'm impressed."
"Are you with this demon?" Reinhard asked, his voice still cold.
The girl's smile widened. "Please, don't insult me by thinking I'm with such a pathetic weakling. Though, he is one of the many subordinates under my command. An unruly one who not only disobeyed my direct orders but then thought he could hide from me in this mortal world."
Reinhard asked. "You're here to take him?"
"Yes," the girl said with a nod. "A punishment is in order, and he must be made an example of. So, I can't let you kill him here. For that, I apologize. But I will be taking him now."

A/N: First of all. I did say that you could see his skill in two way, first as just a skill or second that ultimate skill Od laguna is a network/ link to the real od laguna which it created to link with reinhard.
Second he is polite bcz he is reinhard i will temove the mam and whatever that made it look somewhat bad. There is a reason why the soul doesn't have any memories and even a personality. So he is basically reinhard with just rezero/tensura anime memories on too of his own.
