After Haru showed his swordsmanship, there was no conflict between both the students of the magic academy and the knight academy, and four female students of the knight academy, including Christina, kept talking with him from time to time, hoping him able to show his technique, or rather, they hoped that he could teach them. Unfortunately, there was no free thing in this world, and he didn't intend to teach everyone, and because of that, it caused the four female students of the knight academy, and Christina felt very itchy. After all, everyone wanted to become stronger, right?
Still, Haru's swordsmanship was good Yuri, Lynn, Maria, and Sicily were amazed, but it lacked the impact of Shin's magic.
It might not be related to them, but there was news that a horde of demons appeared, and their number even reached hundreds or so, but all of them perished by Shin's magic.
Shin's magic was so powerful that it affected the temperature slightly higher than before, and it even caused the earth to tremble.
Everyone was speechless, and they refreshed their image of Shin once again on their minds, but because unlike the students of the knight academy that were stunned, the students of the magic academy had gotten used to Shin, so they were pretty much normal, but when Shin used his magic, everyone was also eager to show their power, and because of that, they caused a lot of explosions one after another.
As for the students of Knight Academy?
"........"
They pretty much doubted the reality.

When the joint training ended in the evening, everyone had returned safely, but there was an accident with Alice, Mark, Olive, and Tony since the hair of four of them had turned into an afro because of their magic.
They talked to each other, and as expected, the result was quite the same, most of the devils were solved by everyone from the magic academy, and the students of the knight academy were just a burden. Still, such a thing was as expected. After all, they were taught by Shin, but everyone noticed that Shin was quite down for some reason.
"Huh? Shin, does something happen that makes you feel down?" Alice asked.
"Wolford-kun feels responsible for what's become the rest of us," Thor said.
"Responsible?" Tony asked.
"How so?"
August closed his eyes and used a serious tone all of a sudden. "This is a good time to tell all of you, too. Those of us in the Ultimate Magic Research Society, other than Shin and Haru, will be placed under national supervision following graduation, and will probably be placed in a special unit under my direct control, and lastly..." He then looked at Haru.
"Well, Shin, we, the Earlshide Kingdom, the Els, and probably the Ys Holy Nation have decided to work together and send 11 talented students from both the Els and the Ys Holy Nation to join the Ultimate Magic Research Society. Of course, they're all good children, and I hope that you can be nice to them, Shin," Haru said.
Shin nodded and said, "Yes, but why?"
"It's about maintaining a balance between great countries," August said simply and didn't say much.
'Ah...!' Everyone nodded and somehow understood, but Shin was confused and only thought that he might have a lot of new friends soon, but then, Shin still felt quite apologetic toward everyone since he had caused them to be supervised of the kingdom, but unlike what Shin thought, everyone was very excited since they didn't need to worry about their jobs anymore, and they felt that it would be cool that they could join this special group.
Hearing everyone's encouragement, Shin became excited and nodded, feeling that he should train everyone to become even stronger. After all, the world was under the danger of the demon and the devil!
"........" Everyone somehow could imagine what Shin was thinking and couldn't help but feel speechless at this moment.

Several days after the joining training, everyone gathered together to train in the deserted place where no one could see their training. After all, everyone's power had become so ridiculously strong at this moment.
"We can't let anyone see this," August said with a sigh.
"This is a place I've used for a long time, so we don't need to worry about being seen," Shin said.
"Still, you haven't trained and read a book all the time. Is that alright, Haru?" August asked with a helpless expression.
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me," Haru said simply and continued to read his book.
"......" August and Shin were speechless. Still, they didn't say much. After all, Haru's power was the most mysterious among everyone. Haru might not be as powerful as Shin, but still, Haru's power might be only under Shin, which made August feel that he needed to become stronger!
After the training, everyone gathered once again, and August had something to talk about with everyone again.
"We've received some new information about the devil. It hasn't been made known to the public," August said with a serious expression on his face.
"You're just going to say a state secret just like that?" Shin was speechless.
"Your Highness, it's not just Shin. There's also us here," Maria said with a sigh.
"I know. I'm saying that you all are no longer part of the "general" population. Once we're at war with the demon and the devil, you, all, will be an important part of our forces," August said.
Everyone's expression became slightly nervous. After all, they still remembered the horror of the devil, and at the same time, they realized that they were different since they had become so strong.
"So, what's the new information?" Shin asked.
"According to the reports, the devils and the demons are running riot over the empire. Apparently, the damage done to their towns and villages is disastrous. Every last member of the nobility, as well as the commoners, have been killed."
"......." Everyone was in shock when they heard this news.
"Since we're talking about the devil, others can't get involved so lightly. Our nation must form a coalition, or we won't be able to stand against them."
"So all we can do is just watch and wait?" Shin gritted his teeth.
"That's right. More importantly, the number of the devil increases every time the attacks happen. Somehow they must have a way to turn a human into a devil," August said.
"Like what has happened to Kurt?" Shin frowned.
"Probably."
Shin was wondering what Schtrom was thinking and what that guy wanted to do to create many devils. After all, a single devil could cause a lot of destruction to the nation, and if there was an army of the devil...
Shin thought for a while and let out a sigh, then said, "Everyone, I have decided that we must have a training camp!"
"........" Everyone was dumbfounded. "Training camp?!"
Haru had given up, and he didn't care about Shin anymore since he was sure that this guy couldn't listen to him.
'Sooner or later, this guy might create a telephone or something in the future.'
With that thought on his mind, Haru wondered whether he should try to challenge a duel with Shin at the training camp later.
