Chapter 83.1

We started to withdraw from the battleground with the participating students .

We walked through the ‘Gate’ and arrived at the capital ahead of other students walking back to their academies .

Part of the Earlshide Army was following the students, so they asked us to go back and report to Uncle Dis first .

The soldiers met us in the guardroom .

They told us we were praised because we had subjugated the devils; at the same time, grandpa and grandma had become a hot topic among the public because they had heard their story of subjugating the devils that had approached Earlshide .

“Is that OK?” (Shin)

“The public seems to be aware that it is us who let go of the devils . ” (August)

“According to the Guru, the public may blame us for our neglect of duty, what should we do?” (Alice)

Alice’s worry was reasonable .

Although we had failed to keep the devils in captivity, we still managed to subjugate them . However, we would be reproached nonetheless . Anyway, we’d better report to Uncle Dis first .

We might be rebuked by him .

Following the soldiers, we felt depressed .

We had talked to Uncle Dis before coming back to Earlshide, so we went directly to the throne room .

‘Was it OK to meet him in combat suit?’

The worry flashed in my mind, but we had already reached the throne room .

When the door opened…

Everyone greeted us with a warm applause .

“You have returned, my heroes!” (Dis)

Uncle Dis arose from his throne and greeted us, beckoning us over .

Following his order, we walked towards the throne .

The applause didn’t stop until we reached the throne .

“What’s going on?” (Shin)

“I don’t know either . They won’t blame us for our release of the devils?” (August)

We had thought that we would be reprimanded, but to our surprise, we received a big round of applause .

While I was talking with August in a low voice, I felt a little puzzled . We could only assume that they didn’t treat it seriously .

Damn it . Grandma was to blame, because she had said something like a threat .

But I could only blame her in my mind .

We knelt down and listened to him .

“August, Shin and others, you have done a very good job in eliminating the devils . It has become one of your peerless accomplishments . You deserve the praise . ”

“It’s our great honor to be praised, but we made a mistake at the last moment which put everybody in danger . We consider ourselves unworthy of the honor you have bestowed on us . ” (August)

I couldn’t agree with August more .

We had to reflect on our first battle which made us feel sad .

“Don’t worry . The devils escaping from you have been subjugated by Merlin and Melinda . Heroes are always heroes . The public feels happy at last, so nobody will blame you . ” (Dis)

‘Aren’t they angry?’

While thinking, I looked around, only to see everyone with a smile .

Maybe they only focused on my grandpa who had delivered a knockout blow to the devils and didn’t take our failure seriously?

Although we were relieved that nobody blamed us, I couldn’t forgive myself for the failure .

We did fail . We couldn’t forget it; we still had lots of things to learn .

“You should be awarded medals, but there are no medals higher than the previous one . Please wait for a while . ” (Dis)

“Your Majesty, we just engaged in the military operation . I think everyone who took part in the battle should be awarded . We don’t want any special treatment . ” (August)

August refused Uncle Dis’s goodwill .

To be honest, we did nothing but fought with the devils .

We were embarrassed to receive the awards and medals .

The greatest accomplishment should belong to the soldiers who were still fighting with the devils in demon territory .

“I understand . When they come back, I’ll give them bonuses and allow them to take turns at taking vacations . Everybody, square your shoulders! You’re the heroes who have saved the world!” (Dis)

Uncle Dis finished his speech .

After leaving the throne room, we came to August’s room where we discussed whether others would blame us .

“My father must have told the truth besides, we were praised by civil officials, military officers and the nobles, so the public will think in the same way, right?” (August)
