Not sure if I like this being only the beginning of part 2. I don't like when stories stretch out for too long and overstay their welcome. First the MC encountered some of the students party breakers, then he "defeated" the four apostles, then it should lead to the confrontation with the Demon Lord. If the author comes up with the five empresses for part 2 and the three musketeers for part 3 before the fight between the Hero and the Demon Lord, I'm going to lose interest in the story long before it ends.
