In 1.5 years of real life releases, MC + childhood friend trained as children, defended the village, won the boss fight, and got recruited.
In the next 1.5 years, I'm guessing MC will face discrimination for his rural background in the knights order, prove his strength to his peers and commanders, gain a second female love interest and/or a male rival for childhood friend's love, and participate in tournament that culminates in a boss fight that happens to resolves a demon-related plotline. (I'm really hoping they do a time skip and montage half of that in like, 2 chapters instead, but I'm not hopeful.)
Maybe 3 or 4 years from now, MC will finally meet the supposed Female MC!
