"Wait here, Erika," Haru said and took out his terminal CAD directly, using various magic to strengthen his body, but...
"Hey, what's wrong?" Erika quickly asked since she knew from Haru's expression, something bad was happening.
"There might be an attack. If possible, call security first since I'll take care of them," Haru said and moved very fast in the direction of the intruders.
"Wait for me!" Erika didn't want to stay out of this, or rather, she also wanted to fight against the intruders, too, so she also hurriedly chased after him, even though she knew her speed was much slower than him, even so, she didn't want to be left out!
But before that, Erika took her terminal to call her acquaintance so they could catch this intruder immediately. "It's me, Erika, can you...."

Three intruders entered the hotel, where the contestants of the Nine Schools Competition stayed. They didn't immediately enter but stayed in the bush for a while, waiting until the situation had been checked before they started their attack, but they would have never expected that they would be found out by three students directly.
The first student was Tatsuya. After all, he had received information from the army that told him that there would be a mafia that would target the First High School in the competition so the moment he noticed a strange atmosphere around, he quickly moved, trying to catch this intruder. Even without his Elemental Sight, his power wasn't decreased, and he still had various tricks that he could use to deal with a lot of things.
The second student was a student who practiced Ancient Magic outside of the hotel and also noticed the intruders and moved to stop these people.
But those two were late since the third student came right in front of the intruders directly.
"Huh?" 3x
The three intruders were dumbfounded when they saw Haru was right in front of them. They didn't have time to react since one of the intruders' chests was kicked by Haru directly and a few meters away, tens of meters away.
The two other introducers were stunned and wanted to react, but their heads were grabbed before they smashed into each other, causing their helmets to crack directly and blood dripped from their heads.
Even though it seemed quite long, the process only happened in just a few seconds, and the three intruders had fallen directly.
Haru stood there then turned his head and said, "Tatsuya and the other student that I don't know, why don't you come out?"
Tatsuya came out from the tree slowly and the other student who noticed the introducer also came out slowly with a nervous expression.
"Haru!" Erika, who had chased after Haru, also arrived then asked, "Are you alright? You're not hurt?'
"You don't need to worry, I'm alright. I have defeated all the intruders," Haru said.
"Oh!" Erika then looked at the intruders that had been beaten by Haru, but she didn't feel that much surprised since she knew how powerful Haru was. In her mind, he might be the strongest magician that she knew in her entire life, especially when she had seen a lot of his deeds.
"So Tatsuya, and the other student, were you here because you notice the intruders?" Haru asked.
"Huh? Tatsuya? Miki?" Erika was surprised, looking at Tatsuya and Miki who also arrived in this place.
"Miki?" Haru looked at Erika curiously.
"Don't call me, Miki!" Miki complained with a frown, but at the same time, he looked at Haru nervously since, without a doubt, Haru was the best freshman in the First High School. He had heard a lot of his deeds and somehow, it made him feel quite inferior and also longing since he wanted to stay on Course 1, not Course 2.
"Yes, I have noticed the intruders, how about you two?" Tatsuya asked and his tone was as cold as usual.
Haru was about to answer, but Erika hugged his arm and said, "We're on a date!"
"Da - Date!?" Miki was dumbfounded and his face blushed instantly.
"I see..." Tatsuya nodded and his expression didn't change much.
"Have you called security?" Haru asked Erika.
"Don't worry, they'll come soon, by the way, let me introduce you to Miki first." Erika then made a gesture to Miki to move closer and said, "Miki, come here. Let me introduce you to Haru."
"........" Miki.
"Well, Haru, he's Yoshida Miki. He is a direct descendant of the Yoshida Family and very proficient in Ancient Magic," Erika said, introducing Miki to Haru.
"Erika!" Miki frowned and felt even nervous, wondering whether Haru would ask him why someone from such a family would be in Course 2. If he was asked such a question, then he wasn't sure how to answer and it also made his heart more uncomfortable.
"Yoshida Family?" Haru looked at Miki's surroundings and could see a spirit floating around him.
Spirit Magic is a type of Ancient Magic, which uses independent Information Bodies made of Psions known as commonly called 'Spirits' to interact with other Information Bodies.
Haru had the power of "Horo Horo no Mi" so it was normal for him to be able to see the spirit around Miki's surroundings. In truth, he also knew this person, so when he thought about it calmly. "Say, Miki, in the morning tomorrow, can you come to the meeting of the First High School?"
"Eh?" Miki was dumbfounded.
"You won't?" Haru asked.
There was some trace of expectations in his heart, but he was also nervous when he thought that he might fail.
"I won't force you, just come if you want, and if you don't, then you don't need to come," Haru said since he didn't have that much patience toward a guy. Then the members of the army who had connections with the Chiba family came and told them that he would take care of the intruders.
"Then, Tatsuya, Miki, I'll go back first," Haru said and left.
"Bye, Tatsuya, Miki!" Erika also followed Haru and returned back together.
Tatsuya looked at Haru and Erika before he looked at Miki. "Will you come tomorrow?"
"I..." Miki couldn't answer Tatsuya's question.

When Haru and Erika walked together, Erika asked, "You want to make him play at the event?"
"Isn't that the reason why you have introduced him to me?" Haru asked.
Erika was stunned, then quickly fixed the misunderstanding. "Don't misunderstand! He's my only childhood friend! Our relationship is nothing special, but... I feel very uncomfortable to see him like that, so..." When she thought how low Miki had become compared to the past, she felt very uncomfortable, but then her head was patted. "Haru?"
"It's great that he has such a friend like you, Erika," Haru said with a gentle smile.
"......." Erika blushed and looked away.
"Well, let's go back," Haru said.
"Un." Erika nodded and knew that she could trust Haru, and she wasn't sure why, but she had a feeling that Miki would be alright after she heard such words from Haru.

Haru returned to his room, and when he entered his room, he heard a familiar voice.
"You're late." 2x
Haru was stunned then looked at both Maya and Sumire there. He quickly closed the door and had to admit that their appearance surprised him, but more than that, he felt that it wasn't safe for them to move around when there was little Haru on their stomachs, but before that, he was going to pamper them for a while.
