Vol 2 Chapter 29

Receiving a Notification

Author’s Note: The ending of the previous chapter has been edited. Please take note that the start of this chapter is not connected to the ending of the previous chapter.

The Research Society had completely turned into me teaching magic.

I followed what Alice had previously suggested and started with the explanation using the blackboard in the laboratory before we headed off to practice magic.

I wrote an easy to understand explanation on the backboard and their Water, Wind, and Earth magic improved greatly.

Because of the activities of the Research Society, all the members have leveled up. One day, after the lessons for the day had ended, we received a message from our homeroom teacher.

“This time, I will relay a message from the Kingdom. ‘Because the overall objectives of the devil, Oliver Schtrom, are currently still unknown, we cannot take proper measures. It is nevertheless important to increase our strength. It is only natural for the members of the military to do so, but to prepare for emergencies, students should also work hard to level up.’ That’s the end of the message. You students will have to be prepared in case you have to join the battle.”

Everyone was confused with what Alfred-sensei had said. Only Gus’ team was able to remain calm. This was something they already knew.

Nevertheless, for them to actually make a notification for students to prepare to fight…

“For the Kingdom to make such an unusual notice, this is an exception beyond all exceptions. Even during the past wars, they didn’t relay such notifications…”

This just proves how abnormal the situation was.

“And so, because of the current situation, there will be a temporary cooperation between the Knight students and the Magic students, and there will also be a joint training with the Knight Military Training Academy.”

“Heeehhh, joint training…”

Wouldn’t this be a good method for training? That’s what I thought, but everyone was making complicated expressions. What is it?

“Well, I understand why you guys are making such expressions, however, it will necessary for you guys to cooperate with Knights and Swordsmen in the future. It will surely be a good experience.”

After that, the cla.s.ses for the day had ended.

“What’s wrong everyone? You guys are making strange faces.”

“I see, s.h.i.+n doesn’t know anything about it.”

“Know what?”

“Well, you see, s.h.i.+n. Because in Advanced Magic Academy, we can use Body Strengthening magic, and so we don’t train our bodies much, right?”

“Hmmm, it is as you’ve said.”

“But in contrast, Knight Military Training Academy train their bodies, so they don’t need to use magic to strengthen their bodies.”

“It’s the complete opposite of us.”

“And because of that… Ummm… The students from the Knight Academy calls the students from the Magic Academy ‘Bean Sprouts’ as an insult… whereas the students from the Magic Academy calls the students from the Knight Academy ‘Muscle Brains’ as an insult…”

“…So what you’re trying to say is that the relations.h.i.+p between the two academies is not good?”

“It’s exactly like that.”

…What’s up with that?

“Hey, hey… what are you guys saying, especially during this kind of emergency?”

“Although I understand that we’re in a state of an emergency, but…”

“I can’t endure it when those people start calling me ‘Bean Sprout.'”

“That’s right, it definitely gets really annoying.”

Since we’re on the topic of bean sprouts… I have yet to see one.

“I, on the other hand, am fine with it…”

“I was actually in that situation not too long ago.”

“I haven’t really been called names or anything degozaru.”

In Julius’ case, it’s probably only natural. As for Tony, since he comes from the family of Knights, he doesn’t particularly mind it.

“Wait a minute, what exactly is so bad about it?”

“That’s because—! When it comes down to war potential, isn’t it obvious that magic is more powerful!?”

“And yet, those guys have display att.i.tudes as if they are the strongest of all.”

“Knights and Magicians both have their own weak and strong points.”

“Nevertheless, all the Heroes use magic. Magi-sama, Guru-sama, and even Walford-kun uses magic.”

“That just happened by chance.”

“Now that I think about it, doesn’t s.h.i.+n also use a sword? Did one of the Knights teach you by chance?”

“That’s right, why do you ask?”

“Because you’re adept in magic, I don’t think you’ll need a Knight to protect you.”

Ah, so it’s because of this that Sieg-niichan and Chris-neechan’s relations.h.i.+p is bad.

…No, it’s a different matter. They just fundamentally not suitable with each other.

“Michel-san taught me a variety of things… Thanks to that, I’ve seen h.e.l.l multiple times…”

While I was remembering Michel-san’s training from h.e.l.l, I had a distant look in my eyes. And before I knew it, everyone was staring at me.

“What’s wrong?”

“No… The Michel-san that you spoke of, is he Michel Collin-sama?”

“If I remember it correctly, that was his name.”

“Eh? The previous General of the Knight Order?”

“That’s what he said.”

“I see, with your display of swordsmans.h.i.+p, I am convinced degozaru.”

“With Magi-sama to teach you how to use magic, and the Sword Saint-sama to teach you swordsmans.h.i.+p… What an enviable environment.”

“Sword Saint-sama?”

“Did s.h.i.+n-kun not know about it? Speaking of Michel Collin-sama, he’s someone who has reached the pinnacle of Swordsmans.h.i.+p, and he’s been t.i.tled ‘Sword Saint’-sama.”

“…To me, he’s nothing but a h.e.l.lish instructor…”

Sword Saint… that’s actually what he’s called? I guess it’s expected that his training was severe.

“But since Sword Saint-sama was the one who taught s.h.i.+n-kun swordsmans.h.i.+p, then the Knight Academy students will probably not say anything.”

“I don’t know about that. Even though Sword Saint-sama taught him how to use the sword, he can also use magic. They’ll probably target him out of jealousy.”

What’s with that? How troublesome…

“Well, no matter what, it is necessary to partic.i.p.ate in the joint training. Since it has a decent purpose, no matter what they say, I’ll just not let it bother me.”

“That’s impossible!”

“Haaa~…”

Somehow, I feel like something downright troublesome is about to happen…

A few days later, the Knight Academy had arrived for the joint training.

Four students from the Magic Academy and four students from the Knights Academy. A total of eight people makes a party, which will go outside the Royal Capital to train.

For practical training, they will subjugate a number of the currently increasing amount of demons.

We, the magic students gathered in front of the Royal Capital’s gate where I met the students from the Knight Military Training Academy — I’ll just shorten it to Knight Academy — for the first time.

As expected of people who train with swords daily, their bodies look more robust compared to the magic students.

This time, the group was arranged according to the rankings of our entrance exam. The Knight Academy also used the same method to divide into groups. This situation, since everyone is a part of Advanced Academies, there shouldn’t be a large difference between abilities, thanks to how the groups were formed. This is probably done on purpose with the intent of bringing about the best results, turning students into elites.

Since it’s our first time meeting students from the Knight Academy, the first thing to do is to introduce ourselves.

“Knight Military Training Academy top student, Kreis Lloyd.”

“Second seat, Miranda Wallace.”

“Noin Curtis.”

“I’m Kent McGregor.”

What’s with that. The students from the Knight Academy greeted with ill humor.

Kreis is a good-looking man with blonde hair and blue eyes. His arms were really muscular. He gives off the feeling of a Royal Knight.

Miranda has short black hair, and how do I explain this… She looks firm overall. Her arm looks really sinewy.
