Kenja no Mago

Synopsis

Shin theorises Kurt was a victim of human experimentation. Diseum presents Shin a medal for destroying Kurt. Merlin is angered Diseum is involving Shin in politics, but accepts it is necessary. Shin's fame means his tutors have to test students wanting to join his study group to keep membership manageable. Diseum explains to his council Shin's theory Kurt was artificial. Two students manage to join Shin's group, Mark son of a blacksmith and Olivia daughter of a restaurant owner. Shin asks Mark to upgrade his sword to better handle his enchantments. The Security Bureau investigates Schtrom who expresses remorse at Kurt's death. The investigators invite him to help by studying Kurt's corpse but once at the castle the investigators reveal Kurt's name was never made public. Exposed, Schtrom destroys part of the castle. Shin engages him in a duel that destroys Schtrom's mask, revealing he is not blind but has Demonoid eyes. Shin casts a heat ray spell so hot it turns the sand floor to glass, leaving Shin unsure if Schtrom disintegrated or escaped. Diseum's council congratulates him on his victory, and though he tries to explain his heat ray spell, they have no idea what he is talking about. Schtrom is revealed to have escaped and survived.
