104.

The day after final exams ended.

Lumern immediately began the closing ceremony.

Of course, not all students gathered together.

The closing ceremony was held under the supervision of each respective professor.

And all Class 5 students were looking at Hallind standing in front of the class with tense faces.

This was because grade announcements were made during the closing ceremony.

Professor Hallind looked at the students and spoke in his characteristically dry voice.

“Now then, I’ll announce the grades you’ve all been waiting for.”

At those words, the atmosphere in the class became gloomy.

Grade announcements.

Everyone had survived the midterms, but there was no guarantee the same would be true for finals.

“Before that, the students in our class who will receive withdrawal recommendations are.”

Hallind surveyed the nervous students and curled up the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

“None.”

“Yes!”

“Ooooooooh!”

“We survived!”

The lower-ranked students who had been anxiously waiting for the announcement jumped up from their seats and cheered.

Seeing this, Hallind said.

“You guys who just shouted. Go to the back right now and bow down with your heads to the floor.”

The faces of the students who had shouted turned pale.

The students bowed with their heads down, groaning.

“Sena, distribute the grade reports to the students.”

“Yes.”

Sena smiled brightly as she handed out the printouts to the students.

The students nervously checked their individual grades.

“This time the Magic Studies Department dropped to 3rd place, well. Is that natural?”

Chelsea said, scratching her head.

Since the Inter-Department Competition that was supposed to replace the final practical exam was canceled due to an accident, this final exam had a higher proportion of written tests compared to the midterms.

As a result, Chloe and Avad had an absolute advantage in the written exams.

“What rank is Leo in the Magic Studies Department?”

“8th place.”

“That’s high.”

Leo wasn’t yet familiar with modern magic theory, so his written test scores weren’t very good.

Of course, 8th place was still an amazing grade.

Leo also ranked within the top 10 in all other written exams.

Of course, his practical exam score was 1st place.

“Overall score is 1st place. You’re the grade representative for the second semester too.”

“Congratulations! Leo!”

“The class president is the grade representative again? Well, considering his performance back then, it’s natural.”

While the Class 5 students were discussing their grades.

Creak!

The front door of the classroom opened and Professor Sedjen entered.

“Hahaha! Hallind! You must have seen the class rankings! Our elegant Class 1 is in 1st place again this time! Class 5 is in 2nd place! Hahahaha! In the end, Class 1 won the first semester! Hahaha!”

Sedjen, who had a strong rivalry with Hallind, had rushed over after seeing the class rankings.

Of course, everyone in Class 5 just accepted it as usual.

This wasn’t the first or second time Professor Sedjen had acted like this.

Hallind also just cleanly ignored him as usual and continued delivering announcements to the students.

‘At first it was annoying, but now he looks pitiful.’

‘Poor Professor Sedjen.’

While receiving sympathetic looks from Class 5, Leo raised his hand.

“Professor Sedjen. Then please buy us something delicious.”

At those words, Sedjen frowned.

“I’m the one who won, so why should I buy food?”

“Originally, winners should know how to be generous to the losers, right?”

“Hmm! That’s not wrong either! Good! I’ll show my magnanimity and give Class 5 students some drinks…”

“I heard earlier that Class 1 is going to the finest restaurant in Lumeria City for their after-party. Please take our class there too.”

“Ooh! As expected of Professor Sedjen. So generous.”

“Truly befitting the homeroom teacher of the best first-year class!”

The Class 5 students quickly caught on and began working to take advantage of Sedjen.

‘Hah, pathetic fools. Do you think I’ll fall for such petty tricks?’

Of course, Sedjen made a dismissive expression.

At that moment, Sena poked Hallind’s side.

Hallind looked annoyed, but when the earnest gazes of his students focused on him, he sighed and said.

“Sedjen. Your teaching skills seem remarkable.”

“What did you say? Hallind?”

“I said your teaching skills are remarkable.”

“Hahahaha!”

Sedjen, whose mood had reached its peak, laughed heartily.

He knew well that his longtime colleague wasn’t the type to say such things as empty flattery.

Of course, Hallind’s words were empty flattery.

“Fine! Good! I’ll take Class 5 to the after-party too!”

“Waaaah!”

Class 5 cheered.

Sedjen, in a good mood, burst into laughter and returned to Class 1.

“When will that guy ever mature.”

“Doesn’t that mean he acknowledges Professor Hallind that much?”

When Sena said this with a smile, Hallind looked at his students with cold eyes.

“You guys are using me to fill your bellies?”

At those words, all of Class 5 flinched.

Hallind, who had been glaring at Class 5 with intensity, chuckled.

“Eat with the determination to bankrupt that guy.”

“Yes!”

“Don’t worry! Professor Hallind!”

The entire class atmosphere heated up.

Watching such students, Hallind continued with the announcements.

“As you can see from the family notice in your grade reports, the homeroom professors will be making home visits during the semester. The schedule is written in the notice. So wait at your homes accordingly. If something comes up, let the school know in advance through communication magic.”

“Yes.”

“And I don’t think there are any idiots in our class who would cause trouble or tarnish the school’s honor during vacation… but anyone who does cause trouble should look forward to the first day of the second semester. Lastly.”

Hallind lightly flicked his fingers.

Thud-!

Several heavy books fell onto the desks of all Class 5 students.

The faces of all the students hardened.

“Vacation homework.”

“Is, is this all of it?”

Iliana asked with a disgusted expression.

“You don’t have to do it. Of course, if you’re confident you can handle the consequences.”

The students made tearful faces seeing Hallind’s dry smile.

“This concludes the closing ceremony. Everyone worked hard during the first semester.”

Lumern’s brief closing ceremony came to an end.

***

After enjoying the after-party, evening had arrived.

“It’s almost time for the warp gate now.”

Cal made a regretful expression in front of the warp gate.

The warp gates had different entrances for each region.

“Phew! There really was so much drama and trouble!”

Taide said while stretching out fully.

“Still, isn’t it great that everyone survived? I thought Cal would definitely be in danger this time.”

Iliana giggled.

“Anyway, everyone have a fun vacation. Don’t forget your homework.”

Nella reminded them with a smile.

“Then see you next semester! Keep in touch!”

Chelsea waved her hand at Nella.

After seeing off his friends, Leo looked at the scenery of Lake Lumeria where the sun was setting through the warp gates.

“It was a hectic semester.”

“Yeah. But it was fun!”

Chelsea, who was walking with Leo since they were from the same region, said with a giggle.

“Will Leo stay home during the vacation?”

“Yeah.”

“Can I come visit?”

“Visiting is fine, but I’m not sure how my mother will react.”

“Huh? Leo’s mother… Ah!”

Chelsea exclaimed.

She remembered that Leo’s maternal family was Jerdinger.

“Still, wouldn’t she find me adorable? I’m cute, after all.”

“Aren’t you embarrassed saying that with your own mouth?”

“It’s the truth!”

Leo chuckled at Chelsea’s confident words and headed toward the warp gate.

Selia and Avad were waiting there.

“You’re finally here.”

Selia brushed her hair back.

“All the Empire students are waiting. Chelsea, you’re the last one.”

“Yeah. Sorry.”

Chelsea ran over to Avad’s side.

Selia looked at Leo and said.

“I think it would be fine to stop by our house on the way.”

“Still, I should go to my house first.”

“True.”

Selia made a disappointed expression and smiled brightly.

“Then I’ll visit you in a few days.”

“Alright.”

As his cousin, Selia could freely visit the Flobe family anytime.

Avad looked at Leo and smiled brightly.

“Have a good vacation.”

“You too, Avad.”

The three exchanged greetings and headed toward the Rodren Empire’s warp gate.

Leo boarded the warp gate bound for the Kingdom of Delaad alone.

‘It’s been a while since I went home.’

After parting with his friends, he finally felt that vacation had truly begun.

-Attention please. Dear passengers heading to the Kingdom of Delaad. Please board the warp gate immediately.

‘From the second semester, I’ll probably be able to encounter Hero Record much more.’

While anticipating the second semester, the warp gate activated.

Flash-!

Leo arrived in Delan, the capital of the Kingdom of Delaad, and immediately exited the warp gate.

And in front of the warp gate, countless crowds were waiting.

“Waaaah!”

“It’s Leo Flobe!”

“Lumern’s first-year representative!”

“The future of the Kingdom of Delaad!”

Leo made a troubled expression seeing them cheering in front of the warp gate.

‘Well, I expected this, but… isn’t this too much?’

The Kingdom of Delaad was a small frontier nation.

It was already remarkable for talent capable of entering Lumern to emerge from such a country.

But Leo was not only an unprecedented all-class student but also claimed the position of Lumern’s grade representative.

On top of that, he gained fame from the Inter-Department Competition incident.

Considering that there had never been a single hero in the Kingdom of Delaad’s history, this was truly an encouraging event from the kingdom’s perspective.

Leo sighed and looked for the Flobe family’s carriage before heading there.

Then people from other families flocked over and handed him party invitations.

“Young Master Leo! Marquis Jelma would like to invite Young Master Leo to dinner…!”

“I’m from the Dorven Ducal House! The Duchess really wants to invite Young Master Leo!”

“I’m sorry. I want to go home and rest.”

Leo declined the invitations and barely managed to get into the carriage.

‘I should be grateful that no invitation came from the royal family.’

Because a royal invitation would be difficult to refuse.

When Leo got into the carriage and sighed, he heard chuckling sounds.

“You’re thinking it’s fortunate that no one came from the royal family, aren’t you?”

“How have you been, Mother?”

“You! Speaking so stiffly to your mother after seeing her for so long!”

Raina, who had been waiting in the carriage, lightly pinched Leo’s nose.

Leo burst into laughter and rubbed his nose.

“By the way, I thought someone from the royal family would have come, but they didn’t?”

“This mother asked Jis to send a letter to the king.”

“I should thank Uncle Jis.”

“Yeah. Make sure to tell him next time.”

Raina smiled brightly and hugged Leo tightly.

“Anyway, welcome home, Leo.”

Leo chuckled seeing Raina hugging him with a happy smile.

Come to think of it, this was the first time in this life he had been separated from his parents like this.

“I’m home, Mom.”

The carriage departed for the Flobe family estate.

Leo’s vacation had officially begun.
