Magi’s Grandson

Under Supervision

The day after the joint training session, another joint training session was held, but the combination was different this time.

The reason being we were to blame.

Both academies judged that if the same people from the Knight Academy get grouped with us again, they would lose more confidence, and it would not be considered training.

That day, the students from the Knight Academy who were grouped together with us, looked at us with complex expressions.

About this, arent we receiving the same treatment s.h.i.+n-kun usually gets?

Well Thats what Ive been feeling since yesterday

Receiving the same treatment as s.h.i.+n-dono It feels complicated

Arent you guys being too cruel!?

While the students from the Knight Academy who were grouped with us were wearing complicated expressions, the students from the Magic Academy also had complex expressions due to being treated the same as me.

Is it really that unpleasant to be treated like me!?

After such an exchange, the joint training between the Knight Academy and the Magic Academy was underway.

Because the members of the Research Society were more prudent in using their magic compared to yesterday, the Knight Academy students no longer felt depressed.

Although the training is indeed advancing, I wonder what is happening with Schtrom?

I have yet to hear of devils appearing or making a move.

Although the Kingdom sent scouting units to the Old Empire, because they are a large number of demons around, they have yet to determine the situation.

In the meantime, other countries have not begun their invasion.

However, it is still unclear on what is to be done with the Old Empire.

Because n.o.body has any details about it, the anxiety is building.

Although its fine for us to spend time on joint training, but without knowing the full extent of the situation, theres also an uneasiness of what might happen

Even though theres joint training session, its not like its being conducted on a daily basis. Theres also breaks in between.

Because today was a rest day, everyone had gathered in the laboratory.

Ahh, about that, there seems to be a little progress in information gathering.

Eh? Is that so?

However, its not been released to the general public.

Information thats not been released to the public?

Then Why did you bring up that sort of topic?

Hmm? Of course, its to tell you about it?

As I thought! However, Id like you to please not blurt out things that might be considered national secrets!

Umm, Your Highness? Besides s.h.i.+n, you also want us to hear this information?

Maria spoke up while being confused. Well, I guess its only natural. What Gus was about to say is something along the lines of being a national secret, and is not accessible to just anyone.

Thats right. I mean to let everyone hear it. In the future, the members of this Research Society will have considerable influence. From now onwards, there might be a time when well have to lend our strength to fight against demons and devils. If thats the case, its important that everyone should know about devils.

It seems like everyone is already considered as an important war potential. When everyone heard what Gus said, the expressions on their faces became stiff.

Somehow, just hearing that makes it it finally sink in, that we will become a part of the Special Forces.

Youre right, its really starting to feel like Im a part of the Special Forces

As I thought, I should ask Walford-kun to teach me more and more magic.

Alice was making a unusually earnest face, Maria looked like she was feeling the pressure, and then theres Rin whos still the same as always. There was a variety of expressions.

And so, continuing on with the conversation.

New information has been gathered?

Yeah, a scout who snuck into the territory of the Old Empire returned just the other day, to report the movements of the devils.

The movements of the devils. Devils: this word that brought tension to every single person in the Kingdom who had heard it, ever since grandpa was young and before he was dubbed a hero.

According to the information Gus received, the devils attacked towns and villages that were once under the jurisdiction of the Old Empire.

Because of that, theres an immediate threat that they will start to attack other countries.

However

The state of the attacked towns and villages looked to be the definition of the word tragic. All the n.o.bles in those area were killed without exception. The majority of the commoners seemed to have been killed as well.

Because the opponents were devils, we cannot fight against them carelessly. In addition, we can hardly conduct a joint attack consisting of several countries when we have yet to make a proper alliance. Therefore, we can only observe while the devils conduct their attacks.

Gus, who understood the situation clearly, felt really irritated.

Majority So that means that there were some people who werent killed?

That in itself is a big problem

What do you mean by that?

Although I dont know how they choose the places they attack, but with every attack, it seems like the number of devils increases.

Then, the people who werent killed were

It means that they had turned into devils.

Are you serious? Exactly how much had the number increased?

I wonder what in the world Schtrom was thinking

Who knows, we wont understand unless we ask the actual person himself With the number of devils increasing, this by itself is a tremendous threat.

When I looked at everyone, it seems like theres still a sense of fear towards devils and they fell silent.

This is, as I thought, everyone still needs to further improve their magic power so that they will no longer fear them!

Hey, I have a few proposal, is it okay if you listen to them?

Although I have a really bad feeling about this What are they?

Im not thinking of anything strange, but isnt it almost time for the long vacation?

Youre right.

Why dont we use that long vacation to conduct a training camp?

With that suggestion, Alice was the first to respond.

Training camp! Sounds good! As I thought, when entering a Research Society, everyone will be having a training camp together!

It seems like even in this world, its a cla.s.sic event to go on a training camp.

Thats right Since we might have to fight against devils sometime in the future, we should increase our strength.

Practicing magic from morning till evening Im looking forward to it.

Imagining being absorbed in magic practice all day, a joyful voice came out of Rin.

Although everyone turned pale upon hearing the information of devils attacking the Old Empire, just a while ago, color gradually returned to their faces with the topic of a summer training camp.

It seems they still dont know how Schtrom ma.s.s produces devils and how much strength they have. Because the information was gathered using magic to enhance ones eyes, they remained at a distance and werent fully able to grasp the devils strength.

In order to protect the Kingdom from demon and devil rampant attacks, people have risked their lives to gather information.

Because theres no information on the full strength of the devils, I dont know how much improvement everyone should make. Thus, I can only make sure that we do not waste the information gathered by the scouting units.

By the way, regarding the training camp, where will we do it?

After Alice asked the question, everyone turned their heads to look at me.

Well, since well be practicing magic, its better to conduct it in the wilderness Also, because its a training camp, we need a place that can accommodate everyone Does anyone know such a place?
