132.

“Hoot, has the time finally come to make this body’s name known to the entire world?”

“You’re being ridiculous.”

“What’s the point of knowing your name?”

That evening, the entire dormitory cafeteria was in an uproar over talk about the mission practicum.

“Everyone’s excited about the mission practicum.”

Chelsea opened her mouth wide and ate the pudding that came out for dessert.

“Mmm~”

Cal asked while watching Chelsea cup both cheeks in happiness.

“What? Is the pudding good?”

“Today’s is limited edition, so I’m absolutely not giving you any.”

Cal spoke indifferently while looking at Chelsea showing strong wariness.

“I won’t eat it since you’re being petty.”

“Good. Don’t eat it. Leo, do you want to try a bite?”

“What’s with this temperature difference!”

Cal protested with a tearful expression.

Ignoring Cal, Chelsea scooped up some pudding and looked at Leo.

“I’m fine.”

“This is really delicious! Leo, you’ve never tried limited edition pudding before, right?”

“Right. Leo. That’s really delicious. The kids don’t make a fuss trying to eat it for nothing.”

Cal, who had tried the limited edition pudding before, nodded and agreed with Chelsea’s words.

“Then I’ll try a bite.”

“Okay.”

Just as Chelsea was about to feed Leo the pudding.

Chomp-!

“Mm-! Limited edition pudding really is delicious.”

Someone who suddenly intruded ate the pudding.

Chelsea glared and tried to violently stir the spoon that had entered Selia’s mouth.

But Selia bit down hard on the spoon and instead snatched it away from Chelsea’s grasp.

“Are you a crocodile!”

“Hmph.”

Selia swept back her hair and snorted.

Chelsea, who was trying to get the spoon back, glared at Selia and Cal while making threats.

“Touch my pudding and you’re dead!”

“I won’t let you eat it.”

When Leo burst into laughter, Chelsea finally felt relieved and hurried off to get a spoon.

“Leo. You haven’t decided where to go for the mission practicum yet, right?”

“I have decided. Why?”

“With who? Don’t tell me you’re going with the Class 5 kids?”

Selia made a displeased expression.

If he was going with his classmates, Chelsea would obviously be included.

For Selia, who had wanted to decide on the mission practicum together with Leo, this wasn’t welcome.

“No. I’m going alone.”

“What? Then that works out well. Come with me…”

“Guess who?”

Just then, someone covered Leo’s eyes.

Leo calmly removed the hands and said.

“What’s going on, Chen Xia.”

“Aw, how boring.”

At his calm reaction, Chen Xia made a deflated expression and pulled her hands away from Leo’s.

Selia looked puzzled.

“You two play around like that?”

“I try to tease Young Master Leo, but his reactions are always so calm that it’s no fun.”

Grumbling, Chen Xia poked Leo’s cheek.

Cal turned his head while watching this scene.

There, Chelsea stood frozen while holding a spoon.

“Miss Chelsea. Hello.”

Chen Xia waved with a smile.

“Oh, yeah. Hello.”

Chelsea answered in confusion, then sat in front of Leo.

And she looked back and forth between Leo and Chen Xia.

“Did you come because of the mission practicum too?”

“Yes. I thought it would be good to form a party with Young Master Leo. If Miss Selia is also planning to form a party with Young Master Leo, could you include me too?”

“Hmm. A mission practicum with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place students from the Knight Department… Not bad. That’s a completely luxurious lineup, isn’t it?”

It was Cal who answered Selia’s words.

“It’s not that I like our country’s prince. But still, Duran is 2nd place in the Knight Department. And why is Leo in the Knight Department?”

“Right! Right!”

Chelsea waved her spoon in protest at Cal’s words.

Seeing this, Selia spoke indifferently.

“What are you talking about? Once it’s announced that Leo is my cousin, he’ll be confirmed for the Knight Department.”

“Huh? That was going to be officially announced?”

“Yeah. It’ll happen soon.”

When Cal was surprised, Selia nodded matter-of-factly.

“So Young Master Leo and Miss Selia were blood relatives after all.”

“You noticed?”

“The flames you two use were similar. All the perceptive students probably have a vague idea.”

Chen Xia shrugged her shoulders.

“Anyway! Leo! Do the mission practicum with us!”

“Right. It’s good when people from the same department do it together, isn’t it?”

Chen Xia chimed in with Selia’s words.

“I haven’t decided on a department yet. Besides, I already decided on my mission practicum.”

“Then come with us. If it’s a place you chose, the level must be high, right?”

“Leo said he’s going to subjugate bandits.”

“Bandit subjugation? Was there a big-name bandit group currently active?”

“I haven’t heard such news.”

Looking at the two female students showing puzzled reactions, Leo made an indifferent expression.

“I’m going to subjugate a bandit group in some rural backwater.”

“What? Why!”

“That kind of mission practicum won’t help your grades at all.”

At their words, Chelsea put the spoon with pudding in her mouth and said.

“I told him several times but he wouldn’t listen.”

“Leo must have his reasons.”

When Cal leaned back against his chair, Chelsea pouted.

“Even so, that’s too much. With Leo’s abilities, he could easily handle better requests.”

After that, Selia tried to persuade Leo several times, but he wouldn’t listen.

When Leo finished eating and left the dormitory cafeteria.

Murmur- Murmur-

There was a commotion in front of the dormitory.

“What’s going on?”

At Cal’s question, a Summoning Department student spoke in an excited tone.

“The seniors from the Dungeon Conqueror Party are here!”

“What?”

“They’re recruiting first-years to join them for this mission practice?”

Dungeon Conqueror Party.

A party made up of students who achieved excellent grades in their departments.

They receive official permission from the academy to conquer Hero Dungeons and are deployed on missions.

They could literally be called Lumern’s finest students.

When we headed toward the dormitory entrance, we could indeed see what appeared to be 3rd and 4th year students.

The 5th years, being graduating students, didn’t participate in party member recruitment since they would retire this year.

“Ah! Selia!”

Just then, someone approached Selia.

A young boy with black hair and red eyes.

It was Barden Jerdinger, Selia’s relative and a Lumern 2nd year student.

“Perfect! I was waiting for you!”

“Why me?”

When Selia asked while crossing her arms, Barden grinned.

“Why? To invite you to join our party, of course!”

For ordinary students, joining a conquest party was tremendous honor.

Dungeon conquerors were literally the finest students, and joining their party meant building connections with them.

That’s why everyone tried their best to get into conquest parties.

But there are always exceptions everywhere.

Promising students.

Especially students like Selia were desperately sought after by conqueror parties.

Since they had the skills to naturally become dungeon conquerors when they reached higher grades anyway.

That’s why students with good grades naturally received party recruitment offers.

“You haven’t decided on a conquest party yet, right? Ris’s party is all 5th year seniors, so it’s disbanding this year.”

The dungeon conquest party that Ris Jerdinger belonged to, Red Wing, was a conquest party that Ris had created himself.

It was a party that had been active since their 3rd year, centered around formidable peers like Torua and Jamua.

Many current 3rd and 4th years wanted to join Red Wing, but they maintained the principle of only accepting students from the same grade, so it would ultimately disband after this year.

“I’m part of Blue Moon, the conqueror party that Elena created! I guarantee that within Lumern, the only conquest party with as much influence as ours is Red Wing!”

Watching Barden speak confidently, Chelsea behind him scoffed.

“Sure. You can go that way, Selia.”

“Chelsea Rwallin? Can I get you in too?”

“I don’t need it? And who are you to call my name so casually?”

“What? You don’t know me? You don’t know Barden Jerdinger?”

“What’s so great about Jerdinger that I need to memorize the names of people who aren’t even direct descendants?”

“What did you say?”

Barden flared up at Chelsea’s sharp words.

But as Chelsea said, no matter how great the Jerdinger family was, there was no reason for Chelsea, a direct descendant of Rwallin, to remember a collateral member of Jerdinger.

“Ah, anyway! This time we’re planning to explore a Hero Dungeon! It’s mission practice period right now, isn’t it? If you come with us, it’ll be incredibly helpful! Managing your credits will be easy too!”

At those words, Selia said.

“I don’t have any plans to join a conqueror party yet.”

“What?”

“Let’s go, Leo.”

When Selia walked away, Leo followed her.

‘That bastard!’

Barden glared at Leo’s retreating figure.

Being a Jerdinger himself, he knew that Leo might become the heir this time.

‘When he doesn’t even carry the Jerdinger name!’

In terms of bloodline, Leo was much closer to the direct line, but Barden couldn’t accept Leo.

As Leo, Selia, Chelsea, Chen Xia, and Cal walked away, people from the conqueror parties swarmed over.

Among the first-years, Leo, Selia, Chelsea, and Chen Xia were targets that absolutely had to be recruited.

Besides those four, all the students who had been active in defeating Gigantes during the Inter-Department Competition were caught by the seniors.

“Popular people are enviable.”

Cal muttered while taking a step back.

“Indeed. Leo is quite popular.”

“Huh? Gasp-!”

Cal, who was turning his head toward the clear voice from beside him, gasped.

Not just Cal, but everyone around was startled upon discovering her.

What was there was an incredible big shot.

‘Elena Jeron!’

Everyone held their breath at the appearance of a senior who was like the sky itself, someone the current first-years couldn’t dare to look at.

Even the other upperclassmen who had come for promotional activities were surprised.

Elena, called the queen of the academy, was a student that not only first-years but even other upperclassmen rarely saw.

Elena smiled brightly at Cal.

Cal’s face naturally reddened at her breathtakingly beautiful appearance.

The Blue Moon party members, realizing Elena had come, hurriedly gathered around.

But no one stood beside Elena or spoke to her.

The conquest members who came for promotional activities were just affiliated with the party but didn’t directly participate in conquests – so-called bottom-tier members.

No one could casually speak to Elena, whom even official members found difficult to approach.

When Elena moved, the crowd parted completely.

Elena walked through the crowd as if accustomed to it.

The place where she stopped was none other than in front of Leo.

“Hello, Leo.”

“Hello, Elena.”

Leo calmly greeted Elena, who was greeting him with a bright smile.

Leo remained composed even in the face of her bewitching smile.

Elena, watching his demeanor with apparent amusement, spoke.

“My conquest party has decided to explore a Hero Dungeon this time.”

“Yes.”

“Join our party. I’ll make you an official conquest party member.”

Everyone was shocked at the groundbreaking proposal.

It was already surprising that a conquest party leader personally invited someone, but this was just a first-year.

“I’ll make you the best, Leo Flobe.”

Elena smiled confidently and extended her hand.

A proposal from a girl who was beautiful, strong, and held tremendous power.

Where in the world would there be someone who would reject such a proposal…

“I don’t want to.”

‘What did he just say?’

‘He said no?’

Everyone present couldn’t understand Leo’s words for a moment.

Elena also furrowed her delicate brow.

“Why?”

“As I said before, I’m expensive.”
