Chapter 1690 Who is the villain?
In the castle, the king, the general of the army, and security bureau chief on the Earlshide Kingdom discussed the devil that had appeared in the academy, and the king, Diseum, told them that based on Shin's explanation that the devil that appeared before was an artificially created which shocked them, but they had to admit that this possibility was very high and they knew that their kingdom was in great danger.
When the king, the general of the army, and the security bureau chief discussed with each other about the devil, everyone at the Magic Academy was full of excitement when they heard that both Merlin Wolford and Melinda Bowen would become the teachers of the Ultimate Magic Research Society, and because of that, all the students and even the teachers also wanted to join this study group, but the teacher of the S-Class didn't allow everyone to join immediately, but rather he gave everyone a requirement that to join this study group. However, no one disagreed. After all, there was no way for both the Wise Man and the Guru to teach an incompetent, right?
Everyone was in the class, including both Merlin and Melinda, but at the moment, no one said anything since they were startled when they saw August was bowing his head to Haru.
"I'm sorry, Kasugano-kun." August bowed his head and said, "My words were so rude yesterday, and I know that I have overstepped myself before. Please forgive me." When he thought about it calmly at home, he also knew that what he had done was too much, which was why he directly apologized when he met Haru at the school.
Haru looked at August and thought that this boy was better than what he had imagined, and he knew that if he didn't forgive August, then he would become a bad man, so...
"Your Highness, you don't need to bow your head. I also understand that if I'm in your position, I'll be very annoyed, and I forgave you a long time ago. You don't need to blame yourselves for what happened last night," Haru said while stopping August from bowing his head.
"Kasugano..." August was moved, looking at Haru, who was looking at him with a sincere expression. He felt that his heart was so small when he thought about what he had done last night.
"You don't need to apologize again since it'll be awkward if you say so, and what we need to do is just befriend as we used to before," Haru said with a smile.
August then hugged Haru directly since he felt very moved at that moment.
Haru wanted to push August away, but he gritted his teeth and patted August's back gently. After all, he didn't like to be hugged by a man, but everyone who watched both of them was moved, even Shin was happy when he saw both Haru and August had made up each other, but suddenly...
*Knock!* *Knock!*
"Excuse me."
When the door opened, three people entered, two girls and one male, but they were stunned when they saw both Haru and August hugging each other.
"Ah!" 2x
The two girls were startled and blushed.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" The boy quickly bowed his head, then closed the door.
"..........."
Haru was full of frowns, staring at August, looking at him with an apologetic expression.
When the three students entered again, August explained that everything was a misunderstanding, which caused the male student to sigh in relief, but the two female students were somehow disappointed.
Then the three students explained themselves that the three of them were the new members of the Ultimate Magic Research Society chosen by the teachers. Their names were Mark Bean, Olivia Stone, and Alice Corner.
Alice was one thing, but Mark Bean told everyone that his family ran Bean Works, a Smithy, and Olivia Stone told everyone that her family ran a dining hall called a Brick Oven, both of which introduced themselves as childhood friends.
Then when both Mark and Olivia said that their family ran both Bean Works and Brick Oven, everyone was quite excited, after all, about the weapons from the Bean Work being very famous and the food of the Brick Oven was good.
On the other hand, Alice was a very cheerful girl, and she quickly integrated with everyone in the class. Even Yuri fed Alice with something since this girl was cute. After all, even though Alice was the same age as them, Alice was like a little girl, or rather, she was a legal loli?
Haru wasn't sure, but he didn't have that much interest, but Shin had quite a big interest in Mark. After all, Shin didn't expect to meet a son of a smithy.
"Mark, you're the son of the smithy, so can you make anything?" Shin asked.
"Ah!" Mark was a bit surprised when he was being asked by Shin, but he quickly answered, "Sort of... But I'm at the very bottom of the barrel, and I've just barely become able to forge knives."
"I see..." Shin was a bit disappointed. "If you can make things. I'd have liked to have gotten a new weapon."
"Oh no!" Mark was startled and quickly shook his head. "Wolford, your sword is a sword that is capable of fighting against the devil. I can't make something like that!"
"Nah." Shin shook his head and said, "I was just using a regular sword when I fought the devil."
"EH?" Everyone was dumbfounded, but Shin didn't realize his mistake again.
"It's enchanted with magic to make the blade vibrate at the ultrasonic sound. Doing so let me cut through most objects without using force." Shin took his blade from the space storage and showed it to Mark. "I prefer my blade itself to be on the thin side, but as a result, they will also break easily. I was hoping to improve."
Mark observed the blade and nodded. "If that's the case, then I can make this happen myself."
"Really? Thanks a lot!" Shin was excited.
"......" Haru wondered why Shin was excited by just a mere blade, and why should this guy develop a blade when gunpowder was more exciting and easier to make? He didn't understand Shin's thought. After all, Shin was coming from the modern world, and rather than a sword, wasn't it more convenient to develop a gun?
But he decided to ignore it and only coughed and hoped for both Merlin and Melinda to come to the school as soon as possible since their grandson was going to mess up this world again.
"Cough! Cough!"
"What's wrong, Haru?" Shin looked at Haru curiously.
"...Did you forget our conversation last night?" Haru said in a low voice.
"Ah!" Shin was startled and only realized his mistake, but then he said, "Isn't this alright? It's just small magic after all."
"......." Haru could only shake his head and realized that this guy was more stupid than he had thought.
When Haru was helpless against Shin, the investigators from the Earlshide Kingdom found a suspicious person that might cause Kurt to become the devil.
"Kurt was visited by a middle-school teacher the day he became a devil."
"It sounds worth looking into."
Then without hesitation, two investigators went to meet Oliver Schtrom, who might be the person who caused Kurt to become the devil.
