123.

The morning of departure to Lumeria City.

A guest had come to visit the Flobe Family.

“Haaaam. Good morning, Leo oppa.”

“What? Chelsea, why are you here?”

“Huh?”

Chelsea, who had been yawning lazily, suddenly woke up and opened her eyes wide.

Then she spotted Selia talking with Leo and crossed her arms.

“Of course I came to play at Leo oppa’s house!”

“Leo, how long has she been here?”

“About a month?”

“She’s been freeloading for a whole month? How shameless.”

“What’s it to you? Bleh!”

“This girl!”

Leo clicked his tongue watching the two girls bicker as soon as they met.

“When are you two ever going to grow up?”

The two girls often spent time together because of Leo, but they were still rivals.

“Oh my, Selia’s here.”

“Ah! Aunt!”

Selia ran to Raina and bowed her head.

“Hello! Have you been well all this time?”

“Yes. What brings you here so early in the morning?”

“I’m going to Lumeria City with Leo.”

“Really? Have you had breakfast?”

“Not yet.”

“Then let’s eat first.”

“Yes!”

During breakfast time.

Selia, who had been chatting with Raina after a long time, narrowed her eyes watching Chelsea participate in the conversation so familiarly.

Then she poked Leo’s side repeatedly.

“What.”

“Aunt and Chelsea seem really close?”

“Chelsea’s naturally good with people. She’s affectionate with adults too. Mother has always wanted a daughter, so she dotes on Chelsea a lot.”

“Hmph. Cunning little thing.”

Selia glared at Chelsea.

“You said you’d visit during vacation but never came once?”

“I was a bit busy with family matters. It’s related to you too, so I’ll tell you the details later.”

“Alright.”

After breakfast finished, Leo came out to the entrance with his luggage.

Then he greeted Raina and Daid who had come to see him off.

“I’ll be going now.”

“Yes, have a safe trip.”

“Stay healthy, alright? Study hard.”

“Yes.”

After Leo finished his greetings, Chelsea bowed her head.

“Marquis Flobe, Lady Raina. Thank you for taking care of me for a month. It was truly enjoyable!”

“Hohoho. We enjoyed it too. Come visit again next time.”

“Yes! I’ll definitely come during winter break!”

“Aunt. I’ll definitely come during vacation too.”

“Yes. Give my regards to your brother and Jis. And tell Ris to finish his graduation well.”

“Yes.”

After finishing their farewells, the three people who left the manor got into the same carriage.

On the way to Delan’s Warp Gate, Selia asked.

“By the way Leo, did you finish all your vacation homework?”

“Of course.”

“It must have been really hard since you had to do not just Knight Studies, but also Magic Studies and Summoning Studies?”

“It wasn’t that hard.”

“Right. It wouldn’t be a problem for you.”

“Did you finish all of yours?”

“Of course. Well, I did struggle with the special activities assignment.”

“That one was tricky for me too.”

Chelsea grumbled.

Special activities assignment.

Literally an assignment to have some special experience during vacation and write a report based on that experience.

“Leo oppa doesn’t need to worry.”

“Really? What did you do during vacation?”

“He attended Azonia’s entrance ceremony.”

“What?”

Selia made a shocked expression.

“During this Azonia entrance ceremony, there was chaos because Arron’s page was conquered, right? You saw that directly?”

He had done more than just see it—he had conquered it himself, but since that fact couldn’t be revealed, he just nodded.

“How did you attend the entrance ceremony?”

“Mother had an Azonia admission recommendation letter from the old days. Thanks to that, I was able to attend. Though I got caught by Professor Ain and Professor Yura midway and had to return before finishing everything.”

“That must have been fun?”

Selia looked envious.

All of Azonia’s students were outstanding warriors.

So she envied Leo for having competed with Azonia’s admission candidates.

“There were many excellent kids there, right?”

“Yeah. Among them, Ar was a bit special.”

“Ar Tune. You mean this year’s Azonia entrance valedictorian?”

Selia’s eyes lit up.

“I’d like to face her once.”

Watching Selia’s red eyes sparkle as she burned with competitive spirit, Leo rested his chin on his hand and thought of Ar.

‘I wonder if she’s doing well.’

While they were talking, the carriage carrying the three arrived at the Warp Gate.

The people working at the Warp Gate spotted the three and looked surprised.

“Wait, isn’t that a Lumern uniform?”

“The male student looks like Leo Flobe, but who are the female students?”

“Huh? Wait. Isn’t that Selia Jerdinger and Chelsea Rwallin?”

Since the entrance ceremony had been held in Delan half a year ago, quite a few people remembered Selia and Chelsea’s faces.

After finishing the gate usage procedures and approaching the staff member, he looked extremely tense.

The Lumern grade representative and daughters of renowned hero families.

Having famous hero candidates who had shaken the world right before his eyes naturally made him nervous.

“I’ll confirm your names. Leo Flobe, Selia Jerdinger, Chelsea Rwallin—is that correct?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you. Then please board the Warp Gate. I’ll activate the gate.”

The three people boarded the Warp Gate heading to Lumeria City.

Flash—!

With a bright light, the scenery before their eyes changed instantly.

Leo, who had arrived at the busy Warp Gate with many people coming and going, exited the gate building.

Outside, the vast Lumeria lakeside spread out before them.

“It’s only been two months since I last saw it, but it feels like it’s been forever.”

Selia brushed her hair back in the blowing wind and chuckled softly.

“Miss Chelsea.”

Just then, a young man in mage robes approached Chelsea.

“Sir Rwin.”

“Did you have a good vacation?”

“Of course.”

Rwin, a mage of the Rwallin Family, politely greeted Chelsea before bowing his head to Leo and Selia as well.

“My name is Rwin Prampt.”

“It’s been a while, Sir Prampt.”

“It has been a while, Miss Selia.”

Rwin Prampt was a famous expert even in the Empire, so Selia was acquainted with him.

“I’ve received orders from the deputy head to escort the young lady.”

“I understand. I need to go to the dormitory first.”

“Alright. Let’s meet up before then if we can, otherwise we’ll see each other on the first day of school.”

“Got it! I’m going ahead!”

“Hurry up and go, shoo, shoo.”

“Hmph!”

As Selia waved her hands dismissively, Chelsea stuck out her tongue and left with Rwin.

“That girl seems to get more annoying by the day.”

“She’s cute though.”

“I don’t find her cute at all.”

Selia rolled her eyes as she headed toward Kurazhu Street in Lumeria City.

“Let’s go to the dormitory for now. Uncle Jis will come in the evening. He has something to tell you.”

“Something to tell me?”

“Yeah. During summer vacation, there was a lot of talk within the family about your status.”

Although Leo was Raina’s son and had learned Phoenix Breath, his name wasn’t registered in the Jerdinger Family records.

However, Leo’s outstanding performance in his first semester had significantly changed the atmosphere within the family.

“Most of the family members agreed to officially announce that you’re my cousin.”

During the first semester, Leo had sufficiently proven his worth.

Since various countries and forces were already keeping a close eye on Leo, Jerdinger needed to move quickly as well.

No matter how prestigious a renowned hero family Jerdinger was, losing a talent like Leo would be a loss.

“But there’s one issue that’s still under discussion.”

“What kind of issue?”

“The matter of your succession rights.”

Selia spoke seriously, and Leo was surprised.

“Succession rights?”

“Yeah.”

Currently, the first heir to the Jerdinger Family was undoubtedly Ris.

The second heir with succession rights was Selia.

Other than that, there were no official heirs.

But Leo was being discussed as the third heir.

This wasn’t simply about being recognized as Jerdinger blood.

It literally meant gaining power within Jerdinger.

“Well, there’s tremendous opposition, so I don’t know how it’ll turn out.”

Selia shrugged her shoulders.

Then she looked at Leo with a mischievous smile.

“Why? Are you excited that you might gain succession rights?”

“Like that would happen easily? And even if I did receive succession rights, with Ris and you there, what’s the point.”

“Even if you don’t become the head, wouldn’t it be nice to have considerable authority within Jerdinger?”

“I’m not interested.”

Seeing Leo’s indifferent expression, Selia let out a hollow laugh.

If she had heard such words at the beginning of this year, she would have looked at him like he was ridiculous.

But since it was Leo saying this, she understood.

‘I can’t tell if this guy has a big heart or no ambition.’

Selia shook her head and said,

“Let’s rest at the dormitory until Uncle Jis comes. We can start preparing for the second semester tomorrow.”

The reason they came to Lumeria City early, even though there were still several days until school started, was to buy supplies needed for the second semester.

“There are way more supplies than in the first semester. It feels like real Lumern life is finally beginning in earnest.”

Selia muttered while looking at the supply list, then said to Leo,

“You’ll be busy since you need to prepare for magic and summoning too.”

“It’s not that busy.”

Leo answered while checking the supply list.

The two who arrived at the dormitory immediately unpacked their luggage.

When Leo lay down on his room’s bed, Elsi appeared.

[Leo! What is this amazing city?]

“Lumeria City. One of the largest cities in the world.”

[Wow! Amazing! It’s incredible!]

Elsi stuck to the window and exclaimed in admiration while looking at the street scenery.

“Do you want to look around?”

[Um… shouldn’t you rest?]

“We traveled by warp gate, so there’s no need to rest.”

Leo chuckled and got up from his seat.

After telling Selia he was going out to look around, he went out to the street.

Elsi, sitting on Leo’s shoulder, enjoyed seeing the vibrant cityscape that was completely different from the 5000-year era.

Leo, smiling at her reaction, leisurely walked around Lumeria City.

“What? We’re Lumern students!”

“That’s right! Hero candidates! So why won’t you let us in!”

A commotion broke out on one side of the street.

There stood people wearing Lumern uniforms.

It was a cafe called ‘Heroes’ Respite.’

Though it looked ordinary on the outside, only ‘Lumern’ students and faculty could enter this place.

In other words, it was a Lumern-exclusive rest area within Lumeria City.

“So please submit your student ID.”

“I left it behind! We won’t stay long! Just let us in for a moment! It’s not like you don’t know my face!”

Leo clicked his tongue while observing the agitated group of students.

‘Those are the kids who were recommended for withdrawal during finals.’

Until a few months ago, they were Lumern students, but not anymore.

So there was no way they could enter Heroes’ Respite.

The people around sighed as if they were used to this.

“It looks like they came to go inside and beg the professors for another chance.”

“This kind of thing happens all the time.”

“But there’s never been a single student who got readmitted, right?”

The people around murmured.

Leo was shaking his head listening to this when it happened.

“If you won’t move, then by force!”

The boy who seemed to be the leader raised his aura.

Just as the people around showed surprised expressions at this sight,

“How noisy.”

A voice that sounded somehow lacking in motivation could be heard.

Leo turned his head toward the source and made a surprised expression.

It was a man with black hair and black eyes.

“Lumern doesn’t give second chances to those who have been expelled. Give up and walk your own path. The road to becoming a hero isn’t necessarily limited to attending Lumern.”

“What are you?”

“We haven’t been expelled yet!”

The expelled students made indignant expressions.

Seeing this, the man raised his hand.

Squirm-!

“Huk!”

In an instant, the expelled students were sucked into the ground.

More precisely, they were sucked into the shadows.

While everyone’s eyes widened, the man grumbled in an unmotivated voice.

“How troublesome. They said this year’s first-years were exceptional, but seeing these shameless expelled students running wild like this, it doesn’t seem that way… Why did Kalian call me here anyway?”

Leo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man muttering in a lazy voice.

Leo was able to identify the man’s true nature without difficulty.

‘Dragon.’
