153

After morning assembly ended, it was time to prepare for classes.

The first class was a Knight Studies major course.

Leo headed to the training ground where the Knight Studies class would be held, together with the Knight Department students from Class 5.

“A joint class all of a sudden? Isn’t this too unexpected?”

Meanwhile, Iliana tilted her head in confusion.

Seeing this, Nella said,

“They say joint classes with the Three Major Class Elite Academies happen often.”

“That’s right. But those were cases where Lumern students went directly to each academy to take classes.”

“True. This time, students from the three academies are coming to Lumern to take classes, right?”

The Three Major Class Elite Academies.

Though they were treated as second choices, that was only because Lumern was that exceptional. They were definitely not to be underestimated.

Icot Knight Academy was run by the Knight Alliance, Emeral Magic Academy by the Magic Tower, and Scaun Summoning Academy by the Summoning Guild.

As academies created and operated by groups representing each class, they were places where one could receive the finest human education in specific fields.

Not only Lumern, but the Three Major Class Elite Academies had also produced many heroes.

But despite this, they could never surpass Lumern’s reputation.

“In the first place, the reason the Three Major Class Elite Academies were created was to stop Lumern’s monopoly, right?”

Lumern Academy and Lumeria City were neutral, not belonging to any faction.

However, though neutral, Lumern itself was a powerful force capable of influencing the entire continent.

Since they monopolized the Hero Record, each country had no choice but to increase their dependence on Lumern.

Naturally, excellent talents from each nation flowed to Lumern.

Of course, they returned to their home countries after graduation, but the sense of belonging to ‘Lumern’ that was formed didn’t disappear easily.

There were quite a few students who went to other countries through Lumern or joined the ‘Hero Alliance’ established by Lumern.

The Three Major Class Academies were established when the power elites of various countries, dissatisfied with Lumern, joined forces to challenge Lumern’s dominance.

Initially, they were indeed effective at preventing talent drain as intended.

“But as time passed, they naturally came to be treated as second choices for Lumern students.”

Iliana muttered, placing her clasped hands behind her head.

It was humiliating treatment for the Three Major Class Elite Academies, but it was an unavoidable reality.

They simply couldn’t surpass Lumern’s dominance in any aspect.

However, Lumern actively sought to maintain exchanges with the Three Major Class Elite Academies.

Lumern’s founding purpose was, after all, hero cultivation.

But Lumern couldn’t raise every student to become a hero.

So the existence of the Three Major Class Academies with the same goals was a good educational venue that could nurture students Lumern couldn’t embrace.

Therefore, Lumern actively sought exchanges with the Three Major Class Academies.

They frequently held joint classes and valued student exchanges as important.

However, they had never invited students from the Three Major Class Academies to Lumern on a large scale.

In the second semester, excellent students came to Lumern as exchange students, but those were small numbers.

It couldn’t be helped.

Lumern’s class level was much higher than the average class level of Three Major Class Academy students.

Having Lumern students adjust their class pace for them would be a great loss.

Most importantly, since Lumern had the ‘Hero Record’, security concerns made large-scale admission of outsiders extremely rare.

But exceptionally, this time students from the Three Major Class Academies were visiting Lumern on a large scale.

This was puzzling for the students.

Seeing Nella and Iliana’s puzzled expressions, Leo said,

“It must be for political reasons.”

“Hmm. As the class president says, that could be it.”

During the first semester, Lumern had experienced various incidents.

During midterms, the Hero Record had gone berserk.

During the department competition, Tartaros had launched a massive attack targeting all first-year students’ lives.

Though they overcame everything, it provided good ammunition for those who didn’t view Lumern favorably.

So they opened the school to those from the Three Major Class Academies.

The biggest purpose of this exchange meeting was to demonstrate Lumern’s strength.

Upon arriving at the training ground, students from other classes were also buzzing about the joint class.

When Leo arrived, everyone’s attention focused on him.

Joint classes aside, Leo, who had conquered Luna’s World, was still a hot topic.

As students cast curious glances,

“Leo.”

Selia approached.

Selia, neatly dressed in her uniform as always, brushed her hair back and said,

“Are you feeling alright?”

“Yeah.”

“Really. You’re something else. How did you end up conquering Luna’s World when you went to subjugate bandits?”

Selia, who had been making an amazed expression, soon sparkled with excitement.

“So? How was Luna’s World? You met Luna directly, right?”

At Selia’s question, students stopped their conversations and began focusing on Leo.

Everyone had great interest in the World of the Great Heroes.

Duran, who had come directly to their class earlier, was also staring intently at Leo when,

“There you are, Leo.”

Someone suddenly intruded among the first-years.

When the first-years turned their heads, a famous student was standing there.

None other than the Vice Student Council President and fifth-year Magic Studies student.

It was Torua.

Seeing her suddenly appear at a first-year Knight Studies class, all the first-years looked flustered.

Meanwhile, Torua approached Leo.

And said,

“Leo. What are you doing here? You need to go to magic class.”

“It’s not magic class time right now though?”

When Leo replied with an incredulous expression, Torua nodded.

“Yeah. But one suddenly came up. So Professor Ren told me to bring you.”

“Why me?”

“I heard from Elena. The magic that the Progenitor wanted to create was the magic you interpreted during the first semester field trip, right? We’re planning to hold a special lecture about that magic. Professor Ren said we need the person who interpreted the magic to be there.”

That was exactly right.

Just moments ago.

Ren had received Elena’s conquest report and was overwhelmed with excitement.

The Progenitor of the Starry Skies was an object of admiration for all mages, not just elves.

The magic related to Luna was the magic Leo had interpreted this time.

Ren couldn’t help but be excited.

Unable to contain his joy, he had opened a special lecture.

Hearing Torua’s explanation, Selia looked dumbfounded.

“Wait a minute. That’s a special lecture opened without prior notice. So why does Leo have to skip Knight Studies class to participate in that class?”

“Well, because Leo is in Magic Studies.”

“No he’s not! Leo is in Knight Studies!”

Selia flared up and grabbed Leo’s hand, pulling him toward her.

Seeing this, Torua grabbed Leo’s hand.

“Why are you being so petty? Missing one Knight Studies class won’t cause problems.”

“It will cause problems with Knight Studies credits!”

“It’s fine. Leo is in Magic Studies.”

‘This person doesn’t listen at all!’

Thinking this, Selia pulled Leo as if playing tug-of-war.

Leo let out a deep sigh.

“You’re quite strong.”

No matter how much of a difference there was between a 1st year and 5th year, there was no way Torua, a pure mage, could win against Selia from the Knight Department in terms of physical strength.

As she was dragged toward Selia while holding onto Leo’s arm, Torua pouted her lips, but upon discovering something, she quickly let go of Leo’s hand.

“Eek?”

Unable to resist the force, Selia fell backward.

Selia, who almost fell on her bottom, nimbly regained her balance.

Leo also regained his balance without much difficulty.

“Torua Yan. What are you doing in a 1st year Knight Department class?”

A cold voice was heard.

Everyone gulped nervously.

Standing there was none other than Ain.

Torua, who spotted Ain, greeted him politely.

“Hello, Professor Ain. I came to get Leo for a special Magic Studies Department class.”

“What are you talking about?”

At that question, Torua took out Ren’s letter from her pocket and handed it to Ain.

Ain, who received the letter, said flatly.

“Tell Ren to stop talking nonsense.”

Ain was also famous as a professor who stuck to principles.

There was no way Ren’s sudden demand to send a student for a special class would work on someone like him.

At those words, Torua took out another letter from her pocket and handed it to Ain.

Ain received it and unfolded it.

After a moment, he smiled coldly.

“Vice Professor Claria.”

“Yes.”

“Continue with the class. I’ll go see Ren for a moment.”

“…Understood.”

“Torua Yan. You come with me too.”

“Yes. Take care, 1st years.”

Torua waved her hand carefreely and left the training ground.

His murderous appearance clearly showed he was going to destroy Ren.

“Be quiet. I’ll start with attendance.”

Claria proceeded with the class as if she was used to this.

‘Anna will come to complain again today.’

Claria smiled bitterly while thinking of Anna, Ren’s associate professor.

Nella, who was watching this scene, said to Iliana.

“Iliana, you’re a magic swordsman. How would you feel if the professors wanted you like that?”

“As I said before, I’ll pass on that kind of popularity.”

Iliana shook her head.

***

Leo, who had returned to daily life, immediately adapted to academy life.

Classmates and seniors still sent curious glances, but such attention gradually faded as time passed.

Meanwhile, at Lumern, specific plans for joint classes were mentioned.

“Hey! Amazing! 200 people are coming from each academy!”

About three days after Leo was discharged.

Cal, who was well-informed, came to Class 5 after hearing about the joint classes.

At those words, the Class 5 students showed surprised expressions.

200 people from each academy.

A whopping 600 outsiders were coming to Lumern.

It was literally an unprecedented event.

“How long will the joint classes last?”

“They say they’ll stay for a total of 2 weeks?”

“Then classes will be fine for 2 weeks?”

“But midterms are coming up soon.”

Worried voices flowed among the Class 5 students.

If joint classes proceeded for 2 weeks, it would affect the class curriculum.

Although Class 5 had survived as a whole class, students who were struggling just to keep up with the curriculum were starting to appear.

Amid the worried voices.

The classroom door opened and Chelsea appeared.

“Leo oppa.”

“What?”

“Professor Hallind is calling for you.”

At those words, Leo made a puzzled expression and got up from his seat.

And he headed toward the Classroom Building Faculty Office.

When he arrived at the faculty office, other students were also visible in the corridor.

Students who were in the top 3 of each department among the 1st years, including Chelsea, were all gathered.

They also had puzzled expressions, as if this was a sudden summons.

Leo stood with them with a confused face.

Meanwhile, Hallind came out of the faculty office.

Click-

Step- Step-

The students looked at Hallind with tense expressions.

Whatever the reason, the students were nervous about Hallind’s summons.

“Everyone’s here.”

Hallind said calmly.

“There’s something you need to do related to this joint class.”

“What is it?”

When Selia asked with a puzzled face, Hallind said.

“We’re going to give you control over the students from each academy.”

At those words, the students made puzzled expressions.

“Control?”

“What exactly does that mean?”

At their words, Hallind curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Simply put, you’ll be instructors.”
