Chapter 1688 Brazen Kid 2
Sis-Con with Dimensional Chat Group
When Yuri, Lynn, Maria, and Sicily saw the expression of both Merlin and Melinda, they somehow felt a bit scared since they thought that Haru might be too rude, so both of them were unhappy.
"Grandma, grandpa..." Shin also noticed this, so he wanted to calm both Merlin and Melinda.
Merlin ignored Haru's words, then said, "Haru, even if you're our grandson's friend, don't you think that your request is too much? You should know the price to ask both the Wise Man and the Guru for each of your study groups, right?"
Melinda didn't say anything, but she stared at this young man sternly.
What Merlin said to Haru was right. After all, the identity of the Wise Man and the Guru was loud in this continent. Even if they could teach someone, that person needed to pay an expensive price.
Haru didn't lack money, and he knew that he could pay both of them, but when he could get it free, why did he need to pay?
Haru was unperturbed by their gazes and said calmly, "I know that my request might be rude, but it is also for Shin's well-being."
"...Huh?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, but then both Merlin and Melinda frowned at the same time.
"What do you mean?" Melinda asked with a frown. She knew very well that Haru was very dangerous. He might not be as powerful as her, Merlin, or her grandson, but if he really became their enemy, then she wasn't sure what would happen.
"There's no need to be that wary." Haru was speechless and said, "You might have realized it before, but both of you might have realized that Shin lacks common sense."
"........." There was only a silence when those words fell.
"Ha?" Shin was the one who broke the silence and was dumbfounded since he didn't expect Haru to directly say in front of his face that he lacked common sense. He felt that he had been insulted, but strangely enough, he couldn't get angry since what Haru had said was true. After all, he knew how troubled his grandparents were by him.
Melinda and Merlin also showed a startled expression, but then their expression became serious.
"Go on." 2x
Both of them said simultaneously since they knew what Haru was going to say was something important to them.
"You might also have realized it before, but do you understand why I have decided to tell you my magic to everyone here, even though I exclude his Highness before?" Haru asked.
"......"
Haru didn't wait for them to answer and said, "It's because Shin has explained to me the principle of the "Gate" magic."
"........"
Melinda and Merlin were dumbfounded then both of them stared at their grandson sternly.
"SHINNN!!!!"
Shin was startled and said, "It's alright. It is just small magic." He really couldn't understand why they were overreacting over such magic.
"Just a small magic?!" Melinda really wanted to flip the table in front of her at that moment, but someone helped her.
"Aunty Melinda, calm down. Let me explain to Shin why his magic might cause a lot of trouble in this world," Haru said.
"Yes, quickly tell him, Haru," Merlin said in excitement, thinking that his grandson really had a great friend.
"Thank you, Haru," Melinda said gratefully since she also wanted to put some common sense to her grandson's thick skull.
"Shin, the "Gate," this magic, can affect a lot of things in this world." Haru raised his finger and said, "The first thing is the economy. Think how convenient this magic is since, with this magic, you can shorten two great distances with just one door. For example, you should know that a fish dish is scarce in the capital since we're very far from the sea, and with this magic, the fish that is caught in the port can be sold in the capital easily, and we can also sell it with twice or triple price easily," Haru said.
"......" Everyone was dumbfounded by the potential of the "Gate," and at the same time. Maria's eyes were shining, after all, her family's land was located near the sea, and most of the people in her land were getting their incomes from fishing, but as expected, the number of people who bought the fish was limited, and there was no way to increase the sales, unless the people on her land increased, and the fish would go bad if they were brought to the capital, after all, the distance of her family's land to the capital was huge, which was why she was quite excited when she knew the potential of this magic.
"Not only fish but mining, teleportation, etc., with this magic along, you might destroy the caravan business around this continent," Haru said with a smile.
"........" Everyone at this moment stared at Shin speechlessly since this guy dared to explain how to use the Gate to everyone without hesitation.
"........" Shin felt embarrassed, but he still hadn't realized his biggest mistake.
"Well, economics is one thing, but this magic can affect both war and assassination," Haru said.
"War and assassination?!" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"During the war, with this magic, you can travel a thousand or ten thousands of people so suddenly, directly to the king's castle, then conquer the entire capital easily, and if it in the assassination, then someone can suddenly come to someone's house and kill someone, then leave safely with this magic too." Haru looked at Shin with a serious expression and said, "This magic can create a lot of crimes, Shin. Robbery, kidnapping, stealing, etc. There are a lot of things that can be done, which is why I don't praise your actions for explaining to everyone how to use this magic," Haru said.
"..........." Everyone was in silence after they heard Haru's words, and Shin...
Shin was sweating profusely, and his head was buzzing when he heard that his magic could cause such crimes.
"I know that you're not thinking bad and luckily, everyone in the class is nice, and they don't have trouble with money, so you don't need to worry, but you should know Shin that explaining such strong magic without hesitation, your action might cause some trouble that can be undone in this world, especially when August is the crown prince, even though he's your dear friend, sometimes, as what Aunt Melinda said, a human's heart is complex, and even if August, no, even me, might not think not to have a bad intention right now, but what about in the future? After all, no one knows about the future, right?" Haru said calmly.
"........" Everyone was in silence again.
"This is also the reason why I don't mind sharing my knowledge with everyone here, and it is also the reason why I ask both the Guru and the Wise Man to become our teacher." Haru then looked at both Melinda and Merlin and said, "Aunt Melinda, Uncle Merlin, you should know the potential of Shin's magic, and I'm sure that he is going to explain his knowledge about magic to everyone in the study group and make everyone become a powerful magician. Personally, I don't think too much since I'm also happy that I can become strong, but this is the Earlshide Kingdom, and August is also a member of that study group. With all of that, what do you think will happen?" He then looked at everyone, wondering whether someone could answer his question.
"......." Everyone was in silence, and no one knew how to answer their question.
"What will happen?" Merlin asked with a serious expression.
"First, I'm sure that everyone will become strong, so strong that the army might not be able to ignore everyone who is being taught by Shin," Haru said.
Maria raised her eyebrow and asked, "So we'll be forced to become soldiers?"
Haru shook his head and said, "No, with the personality of the King and August, I'm sure that they won't do that, but they will subtly tell you that they have done their best to stop the army from forcing you to become a soldier, but then they tell you that with all of your power, it is impossible to let you run around without someone monitor you, so I'm sure that they'll put all the members of the Ultimate Magic Research Society into a special group that is led by August himself." He smiled bitterly and said, "If I'm from the Earlshide Kingdom, then I won't think too much, or rather, I'll be happy. After all, this kingdom will have a strong magician group, but I'm from the Els. Just think of it, your neighboring country, which is hostile toward you, has a group of magicians that can even be matched with tens of thousands of soldiers and can travel anywhere as long as they want. What do you think? Can you sleep peacefully at night?"
It was scary, that was the thought of everyone at that moment, and the girls also couldn't help but shudder when they imagined such a scary thing.
"That's why I want to ask both Aunt Melinda and Uncle Merlin to become the teacher, no, the monitor of our study group so Shin won't teach too much of some too strong magic, and both of you can protect our freedom so we won't be forced to join this magician group, after all, I have heard that your relationship with the King is good," Haru said.
Melinda and Merlin nodded and said, "Then both of us will become your teachers on your study group." They said those words at the same time, without hesitation, since they had a feeling what Haru had said to them were genuine.
"Thank you very much," Haru said with a smile.
Shin was in silence and wasn't sure what to say at that moment.
Haru looked at Shin and said, "Shin, I'm happy that you think of us as someone that you can trust, and I'm sure that you only want everyone to be able to protect themselves better, so please don't blame yourself."
"Haru..." Shin was moved at that moment.
Yuri, Lynn, Maria, and Sicily realized that it was already dark outside, and they also thought it was their time to go back.
Haru looked at the dark sky and said, "Well, the night has already come out. We should go back now."
"Why don't all of you stay? You can eat dinner here too," Melinda said.
Haru shook his head and said, "No, we won't trouble you, and I also want to try a new magic."
"New magic?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Haru didn't answer them and used his new magic directly. Then everyone was dumbfounded when they saw a door appear out of thin air.
"Th - the gate..." Everyone was speechless.
Haru raised his eyebrow, then opened the door and saw that the door was really connected to his house. "Well, we'll go back first, bye Aunt Melinda, Uncle Merlin, and see you tomorrow, Shin."
Yuri, Lynn, Maria, and Sicily said goodbye to Melinda, Merlin, and Shin, followed Haru to enter the gate, and after everyone entered, the door was closed, then it disappeared.
"........"
Merlin and Melinda let out a sigh, and suddenly they became exhausted. They then looked at Shin and wondered why they couldn't instill him with some common sense.
"Grandpa... Grandma..." Shin was worried that he might cause trouble to both of them.
"Well, it's good that you can understand your power better now, Shin." Merlin patted Shin's head with a gentle smile.
"Granpa..." Shin wanted to cry somehow.
"Still, Shin, in truth, with your power, both of us don't have too much to worry about for you, but whether you become the enemy of the country or two, I'm sure that you can still fight them and win easily," Melinda said with a joking tone.
"Grandma..." Shin was speechless.
"But no matter what, don't be Haru's enemy, alright? Just be his friend," Melinda said with a serious expression. After all, when she thought about Haru's potential, eloquence, and charm, she had to admit that Haru was very scary.
"Of course!" Shin nodded since he thought that Haru was his dear friend.
"Well, let's stop talking about this and have dinner." Merlin stood up and said with a smile, "Still, we're going to be the teacher in your academy, huh?"
"You should quickly get us a granddaughter too," Melinda said with a serious expression since she was afraid that all the girls in the academy might be eaten by Haru.
"Yeah, you should get a girlfriend or two already," Merlin said with a serious expression.
"Grandpa! Grandma!" Shin was covered in blush and felt very embarrassed.
Merlin and Melinda laughed, and Shin also smiled. As usual, the Wolford family was very harmonious.
