Chapter 1680: The Aftermath 1 (1/2)
After the army caught Kurt, the teacher told everyone that there would be a two-day break since what had happened was too shocking, and no one would ever think that a devil would appear in the academy.
Luckily, the devil was caught, and no one was hurt. Still, as expected, there was no way to keep this a secret, and everyone knew that the devil had appeared, which was why the academy told the students to take a break for two days since the parents of the students were worried about their safety.
Haru, Yuri, and Lynn also went back together, but Lynn went back to her home. After all, the appearance of a devil was too shocking, and Lynn's parents wanted her to return first, asking what had happened.
Haru knew that he also needed to meet Lynn's parents, but at the same time, he also knew that he had also wronged Lynn. After all, Lynn was his mistress. If he wasn't punched or killed by her father, then it would be a miracle. After all, as a man, he also understood that no one wanted their daughter to become someone's mistress, but as a man, he knew that he needed to meet Lynn's parents and needed to tell her to believe in him to take care of their daughter.
Lynn was quite shy and told him not to hurry since she also knew that even though she didn't mind their relationship, her parents were different, and she told him to take it slowly.
After kissing each other, only Haru and Yuri left, and both of them returned to their house. And as expected, Yuri's family came to ask what had happened in the academy. After all, everyone in the kingdom had bad memories of the devil.
”Bad memories?” Haru looked at Yuri's father curiously.
Mr. Carlton nodded and said, ”In the past, this kingdom was almost destroyed by a devil, and it is because of the Wise Man, Merlin Wolford, and the Guru, Melinda Bowen, that this kingdom is saved, and because of that, everyone thinks of them as a hero.” He was, after all, a big fan of both the Wise Man and the Guru, and if Haru wanted to ask him, he could tell him a story for a day straight without a break.
”I see...” Haru nodded and understood why the people of the Earlshide Kingdom revered both the Wise Man and the Guru this much, and even his father-in-law was also their fan which made him helpless.
'But a hero, huh?'
Haru felt that this title of hero was very vague, and even though they were revered, this title didn't have that much use, or rather, in his mind, this title was similar to a nuclear bomb. After all, a hero was strong, and even if there was an army, no one could stop a hero who wanted to kill someone, right?
Still, at the same time, the title of the hero was also troublesome since it could attract everyone's attention easily, whether it was people or an enemy, that title would attract all of them, but at the same time, this title was good for him since the louder his deeds were, the better his reputation and it would be easy for him to become the president of the Els Federation of Free Commerce.
”Still, I have heard that you're the one who has defeated the devil. Is that true?” Mr. Carlton asked with eyes of amazement, staring at his son-in-law. And he was glad that he had a beautiful daughter, and because of that, she could get him such an awesome son-in-law. Not only was Haru a council of the Els, rich, handsome, and then he was also strong, and for the first time, Carlton knew that God was unfair.
Yuri was smiling and hugged Haru's arm since she was also quite proud of Haru's deeds.
”It's not me. The one who has defeated it is the Wise Man's grandson, Shin Wolford. During the battle, I was just his support,” Haru said.
”Yes, the one who has defeated the devil is Shin Wolford.”
Mr. Carlton nodded and understood why Haru didn't want to admit that he was the one who defeated the demon, or rather he also agreed with Haru to push everything to Shin Wolford. After all, Haru was from a different nation. Those hard-headed people would, without doubt, try to endanger Haru since no one wanted other nations to have a powerful magician. Still, he also didn't need to worry too much. After all, Haru's status was a member of the Els's council, and if something happened to him, the situation might escalate to war between Earlshide and the Els.
”Still, you also need to be prepared since the King might try to get close to you and give you some kind of medal or something,” Carlton said.
”Yes, thank you for the reminder, father-in-law,” Haru said.
They talked for a while before Carlton, his wife, and Yuri's siblings left them out. After all, they didn't want to be a light bulb for both Haru and Yuri.
