Chapter 1700 Joint training?

As the meeting between Haru and Diseum ended, Haru sent a message directly to Els to send 11 talented students to be taught by Shin Wolford. After all, he knew how unreasonable Shin was, and everyone he taught had already become a powerful magician. He could teach them, but he was too lazy about it, as for the Ys Holy City? He had sent the message, but whether they listened to him or not, he didn't care much since he only wanted his country to be better.

Haru had chosen to be on the side of Els, so he wanted it to become a better country and wouldn't lose to the Earlshide Kingdom, so this country needed to strengthen its magicians. As expected, his words were directly accepted. The president and the council members directly prepared 11 talented students to be sent to the Eearlshide Kingdom so they would be taught by Shin Wolford, after all, even though some of them were still dubious about Shin Wolford's power, they believed in the power of Merlin Wolford and Melinda Bowen since both of them were the famous Wise Man and the Guru, with both of them became the teacher of the 11 talented students from the Els, no one would be worried about them anymore.

After that matter was resolved, Haru, Yuri, Lynn, Sicily, Maria, and everyone returned to the school as usual, and as expected, the matter of Schtrom was announced directly to everyone.

"As they have announced, Schtrom has been sighted in the imperial capital. His objectives are unclear, so we can't form any specific strategies, but we'll need to bolster our fighting strength. We've received notice that we must level up not only our soldiers but, if it should come to it, our students as well. As of now, we will be doing joint training with the knight training school to ensure close coordination between knights and magicians," the teacher announced.

But upon hearing that announcement, everyone became perplexed and sighed.

Shin was confused by this situation, so when the lesson ended, he quickly asked everyone, "What's the matter? Why do you all look funny?"

"I see you don't understand, do you, Shin?" August said, but at the same time, his gaze cast toward Haru with some complicated expression. After all, he remembered the exchange between his father and Haru was so fierce and made him realize that his power wasn't enough.

"???" Shin was confused.

Maria sighed and explained to Shin. "The main thing is, the magic academy mainly focuses on strengthening magic, so we don't do much physical training."

"That's apparent." Shin nodded.

"On the other hand, the knight training school's main thing is the physical training," Maria said.

"You mean the exact opposite?" Shin asked.

"The students at Knight Training School make fun of us by calling us "Sprouts!" Maria was full of anger.

"Then again, the Magic Academy makes fun of the Knights training school students by calling them "muscle-brains," Thor explained with a helpless expression.

"Hold on! So you do have sprouts in this world?" Shin asked in surprise.

"........" Haru looked at Shin and wondered how this guy's brain was working for him to be able to suddenly say such a stupid thing. He wondered whether Shin didn't mind telling everyone that he was coming from another world, which made him wonder how brainless this protagonist was.

"These are extreme circumstances, though. It's not time to bring this up," Shin said, trying to make sure everyone amends the relationship between everyone and the students of the knight training school.

"Yeah, we know that, but where do they get off by calling us sprouts?"

"I can't stand it when they call us sprouts!"

"She's right! It's definitely aggravating!"

Lynn and Yuri joined, showing how annoyed they were but the students of the knight training school.

Some of the students in this class, such as Julius and Tony, were from Knight Training School, so they were a bit helpless when both of them heard they were making fun of them.

Maria couldn't control her emotions. There was smoke that appeared on her head, showing how annoyed she was by the students of the Knight Training School. "In terms of combat strength, magicians are definitely better! And yet those guys have the attitude that they're stronger than ones!" She slammed the table, showing that she couldn't control her emotions, and was furious about the students of the Knight Training School.

"E - Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, right? So let's just compliment each other..." Shin tried hard so everyone wouldn't hate the students of the Knight Training School.

"Yeah, but Shin, you can use both magic and the sword, can't you?!" Maria complained.

"Well, yeah, but..." Shin was helpless.

"Haru, what do you think?" Maria asked.

Then everyone turned their attention toward Haru, and they were speechless when they saw him drinking tea calmly while reading a book.

"You.. why are you drinking tea so calmly?! Are you not angry about the students of the Knight Training School?" Maria was lost for words, but then she quickly regained her vigor and asked Haru that question.

Haru put down his cup and asked, "Can the students of the Knight Training School cut down a fire?"

"....No."

"Can the students of the Knight training school cut down the steel?"

"....No."

"Can the students of the Knight training school create a gate?"

"....No."

"Lastly, is there anyone that can match Shin at the Knight training school?" Haru asked.

"No!" Everyone said at the same time. After all, in their minds, no one could defeat Shin.

Haru nodded and said, "Shin has trained us. Do you think a mere student of the knight training school can defeat us?"

"Of course not!" Maria then stood up and raised her fist to the sky. "Let's show them who is the boss, later!"

"OOOOOOHHHH!!!" Everyone was full of excitement.

"Haru..." Shin was speechless.

Haru only smiled, but in truth, his view about the knights in this world was nothing more than a mere meat shield. After all, they didn't have magic, and besides using a sword, there was nothing that they could do. If they were able to create a sword slash from a distance, cutting a person like a vegetable, or had an ability like in One Piece, then he would say otherwise. Unfortunately, the knight in this world was just a normal guy with a sword, what was the use of them?

However, Haru quite anticipated the joint-training meeting between the magic academy and the knight academy, wondering what kind of symmetry that would be created between them or if there would be chaos. He wasn't sure, but he was quite curious since it might be his first time seeing a knight.

It was the day of joint training, but Haru didn't expect that his harem protagonist aura would be working like this.

'Was this okay?'
