As they had decided yesterday, the training camp was quickly held now, and everyone practiced to control their magic and learned various magic.
Haru, along with everyone, joined the training, and on the other hand, Melinda, Merlin, and Shin became their trainer, watching everyone's progress. Still, as expected, the three of them noticed that Haru, Yuri, and Lynn were better than anyone in this place.
"Your control over magic is excellent," Merlin praised the three of them.
"Yes, we have trained very hard," Haru said.
Yuri and Lynn nodded and told them that they had worked really hard. After all, there was no way for them to tell everyone that they were taught by Haru, and in truth, they were stronger than anyone except for Shin, of course, since this guy was the protagonist of this world.
However, the three of them didn't cause much attention. After all, Shin was too bright. However, after Shin saw Haru, Yuri, and Lynn, who seemed very eager to learn, Shin also wanted to test his new magic.
"........" Everyone was dumbfounded, but at the same time, they wanted to see Shin's magic too, so they went to the deserted place so Shin could use his magic full of his power.
However, when Shin saw everyone's reaction, he was too speechless to say anything.
"Listen up, everyone! Raise a magic barrier with everything you've got!" Haru shouted.
"Nah, I think you'll probably be okay," Shin said.
"Probably?!" Hearing the word "probably," everyone continued to strengthen their magic barrier without hesitation.
"Guys, Haru is right! Don't let your guard down!" August shouted.
Shin sighed and shook his head. "I'm saying that this is going to be alright." He thought about his idea of his new magic. The first thing he thought was a combustible gas, then he lit them up with fire magic, gathered his magic on both of his palms.
The earth was trembling, the wind caused everything to be flown away, and the hot temperature caused them to feel the heat.
Everyone could see a huge blue fireball that was gathered on the top of Shin.
"Is that a new magic?"
"Nope." Shin continued to concentrate on his magic and said, "This is where... the critical part begins..." He moved the fire in front of him and strengthened his magic even stronger!
"Brace for the impact!" Haru shouted, but in truth, this kind of magic wouldn't even harm him. Shin's magic might seem strong, but after all, his body was the body of the Aquaman, so an energy-related attack was useless on him. Still, he loved to pretend, so he didn't say anything and raised barrier magic to cover everyone.
"......." Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Haru's huge barrier that protected everyone, and it even stopped the effect of Shin's magic, but Shin didn't notice that since Shin had been concentrated on his magic.
Shin focussed on his magic, or rather, he wanted to improve his magic. Usually, in his visualization, he spread out the attack, but this time, he narrowed the explosive energy into a single path and released them out!
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
The blue fire destroyed everything along its path. Its destruction was so huge that it destroyed some of the hills that had blocked its path.
"......" Everyone was speechless.
"Yes, success!" Shin was full of happiness.
"You idiot!" Melinda quickly slapped Shin's head since her grandson was too much!
Everyone was still in shock when they saw the aftermath of Shin's magic, and some of them even shuddered, thinking what would happen if they were shot by this magic.
Melinda still scolded Shin, who seemed to be unperturbed and didn't feel sorry for what he had done, but because of that, the training ended, and everyone decided to go back to the manor. On the other hand, August asked Shin to bring him back to the castle since August wanted to learn about the devil's news in the Empire, but suddenly...
"Shin, I know that it is a bit sudden, but let's have a duel tomorrow," Haru said without hesitation.
".........." Haru's words dumbfounded everyone.
"Haru, are you crazy?! Do you want to die?!" Maria, who was quickly received, quickly grabbed Haru's shirt, telling him that Haru had tried to commit suicide by asking for a duel with Shin. She knew very well that Shin was a monster, and even though Haru wasn't bad, she didn't think that he could defeat Shin.
"......." Shin.
Haru looked at Maria with a smile and said, "I'm happy that you're worried about me, Maria."
"Wh - What the hell are you talking about?! I - I don't care about you at all!" Maria said with a blush.
"Still, I just want to test my distance with Shin." Haru looked at Shin and asked, "Shin, what about it?"
Shin was surprised since it was his first time to be asked for a duel by someone, but because of that, he was also quite eager and nodded. "Yes, let's have a duel tomorrow."
"That's good." Haru smiled and said, "I'll go back now to prepare myself." He then opened the gate and returned to the manor.
Lynn and Yuri also followed.
"Wait for me!" Maria also followed them.
Sicily and Alice also followed.
"Oi, Haru, wait for me too!" Merlin also followed since he didn't expect someone to dare to ask for a duel for his grandson, but he had to admit that he loved Haru's guts.
"Hey, wait for me too!" Melinda also followed up, wondering what was on Haru's head when he dared to ask for a duel for her grandson.
When they were leaving, there were only some of them left, and except for Shin, they were all dumbfounded, after all, in their minds, Shin was an existence that couldn't be beaten at all, which was why when someone suddenly proposed a duel with a Shin, they felt that their heads were buzzing.
August clenched his fist and realized the difference between him and Haru. Both of them were in the same position, but he lacked courage! But at the same time, he looked at Shin and asked, "Shin, are you sure to have a duel with Haru?"
Shin nodded and said, "This is my first time for someone to ask me for a duel, so I'll accept it."
"Don't hurt him. If you hurt him, then both the Earlshide Kingdom and the Els might be at war later," August said since he knew how important Haru was on the Els.
"......" Shin was dumbfounded, but then he nodded. He didn't expect Haru's position to be so high on the Els, but he didn't think too much since he wouldn't hurt Haru. However, he had to admit that there was a trace of the eagerness on his heart to show since it was the first time someone dared to ask him for a duel.
