Chapter 1838 - The Final Has Been Decided (1/2)
While everyone cheered loudly and was full of enthusiasm with the victory of the First High School, both Shinkurou and Masaki had serious expressions on their faces.
”He's stronger than we thought,” Shinkurou said.
Masaki didn't say anything and had a complicated expression when he saw how Haru dominated the entire field.
”I can't find much information about him, but from the match that we have seen before... It's just my guess, but I can tell that he has some kind of innate ability or perception magic that can detect anyone, and he should also be a long-range specialist like Saegusa Mayumi,” Shinkurou said after he saw how precise and the distance that Haru could use his magic. He then looked at Masaki and said, ”We'll have a lot of trouble fighting him if he's really a long-range specialist.” It wasn't that he looked down on Masaki, but it was impossible for Masaki to use his family magic since it was too dangerous, and most of the distance of Masaki's magic wasn't that far.
”Isn't that interesting? Our only opponent is him.” Masaki smiled and said, ”We'll see him in the final later.” He then stood up and said, ”Let's go, George. They have dominated their opponent. We'll also do the same.”
”.......”
Shinkuro looked at Masaki, then smiled and knew that this was Masaki that he knew.

When Haru, Mikihiko, and Morisaki returned, everyone was being greeted. They were being congratulated since their victory was too overwhelming, showing the true power of the First High School.
When Haru talked with everyone, his hand was pulled by someone, and when he turned, he saw Mayumi was there. ”What's wrong, Mayumi-senpai?”
”Haru, are you also a long-range specialist?” Mayumi asked while looking at Haru with a curious expression.
”Well, I can also use a long-range magic like you,” Haru said.
”......” Mayumi.
Haru knew that someone like Mayumi was very rare since she could use her magic from a very far distance, but it wasn't that surprising, right?
”What's wrong, Senpai?” Haru asked.
”No - Nothing!” Mayumi shook her head, then looked at Suzune, who walked toward Haru as usual while bringing a towel and a warm tea on the tumbler.
”Good work,” Suzune said.
”Thanks, Senpai,” Haru said with a smile, looking at his lover, taking the tumbler and drinking it.
Suzune dried his sweat as usual while asking him about the match and whether he was confident with the next match.
Watching Haru and Suzune, Mayumi felt complicated, but she should smile and congratulate him since he had won. She was his senior, but hopefully, something might change in the future.

After Haru's match ended, they didn't come out from the tent and watched the match of the Third High School since they were sure that their only opponent was only the Third High School, considering Masaki Ichijou was in that team.
As expected, the momentum of Ichijou Masaki was huge, and they understood why he was called the Crimson Prince at a young age. Looking at how powerful he was, dominating the team by himself, Masaki and Mikihiko were lost for words, and one thing for sure, they knew that they couldn't do anything against Masaki, especially when they saw Masaki's magic.
