154

The students looked puzzled at the mention of instructors.

“Are we going to teach students from other academies?”

Selia crossed her arms and tilted her head.

Her black hair swayed gracefully.

“That’s right.”

At that answer, Eliza, who had been trimming her nails, spoke up.

“Instructor. That’s not bad. But even though there’s a level difference between Lumern and the Top 3 Class Academies, we’re still students… Will they accept being taught by us?”

Eliza’s opinion, delivered with half-closed eyes, was very valid.

They would have their own pride too.

No matter how prestigious Lumern was, being controlled by fellow students would surely be unpleasant.

When other students were nodding at Eliza’s words.

“It’s fine. The students you’ll be teaching are Lumern admission candidates.”

At those words, the other students paused.

Lumern admission candidates.

In other words, students who would take the entrance exam next year.

The Top 3 Class Academies also taught students who were studying to prepare for Lumern admission.

In fact, quite a few current Lumern students had come after studying for admission at the Top 3 Class Academies.

“Of course, if you don’t want to do it, you can refuse. You’ll be busy during the joint class period. You might not be able to focus on personal study or training. There are no additional credits for this task either.”

At Hallind’s words, Chloe smiled brightly.

“But the reason you’re telling us is because it’s something we need to do, isn’t it?”

The representatives of each grade were the face of their year, but the influence of top students in each department was also considerable.

As such, they often participated in external events.

That was why Hallind had called them.

Moreover, with their recognition soaring due to the Gigantes incident, the role of the department’s top 3 students was important for this event.

“That’s right. As the Knight Department’s number one, I can’t miss such an occasion.”

Selia also swept back her hair and puffed out her chest proudly.

Clap clap clap clap!

“Elegance! Elegance! As expected of student Chloe and student Selia! Worthy of being my proud disciples! I can feel the dignity of Lumern students!”

Sedjen appeared, clapping his hands.

And with a snap! he stood beside Hallind.

“Right. Is there any student who would refuse the instructor position?”

At that question, no student shook their head.

This was a kind of position representing the school.

Though there were no benefits, just participating in such a position was tremendous honor.

When no one stepped forward to leave, Sedjen nodded satisfactorily.

“Good! I, Sedjen! Have become the supervising professor for the admission candidates!”

“Not Professor Hallind?”

Leo looked puzzled.

At Leo’s question, Sedjen’s eyes twitched.

“Why did you think Hallind would handle such an important task, student Leo.”

Sedjen, who had a rivalry with Hallind, was someone who needed to beat Hallind in every aspect to feel satisfied.

In this context, when Leo, who could be called Hallind’s student, questioned why he rather than Hallind was in a position to assess admission candidates in advance.

From Sedjen’s perspective, Leo’s questioning was enough to provoke him.

‘Well, it’s admirable that he thinks highly of his supervising professor.’

“Student Leo. Do you think Hallind is more suitable than me for managing admission candidates?”

“Both professors are excellent, so I can’t judge who’s superior.”

“Then why did you question why Hallind wasn’t doing it?”

“Professor Hallind is the most famous professor at our school.”

Hallind was someone who made all Lumern students tremble in fear just by making eye contact.

He was equally famous outside the school.

“I thought Professor Hallind could establish dominance from the start.”

Among the Lumern admission candidates, there would surely be some who were already acting arrogantly as if they were already Lumern students.

To prevent such candidates from causing trouble, no professor was as optimized as Hallind.

“Certainly.”

“If they saw Professor Hallind, they’d all be scared and trembling.”

“But the one who can embrace and nurture students is Professor Sedjen, right?”

“Ho? Are you saying I can’t embrace students?”

“What? No, that’s not what I meant…”

Selia’s face turned pale as she realized her slip of tongue.

“I too…”

Sedjen clenched his fist tightly.

“I too can be as scary a professor as Hallind! Good! I’ll show you the appearance of tiger professor Sedjen! From now on, the scariest professor at Lumern is me! Sedj…”

“Be quiet.”

Hallind, who had once again covered his old friend’s mouth as he went into a rampage, sighed deeply.

“I have to work with instructors from the Top 3 Class Academies. And as Selia Jerdinger said. For handling new candidates, Sedjen suits better than me. He’ll take good care of the students.”

At those words, Sedjen, who had been rampaging, paused and looked moved.

“Hallind… You. Did you acknowledge me that much?”

“Of course. You’re my friend and competitor, aren’t you.”

“Indeed! Hallind! You truly are the greatest rival of my life! Huhahahahahaha!”

Sedjen, in a good mood, put his hand to his face and burst into pleased laughter.

The ten students looked at him with expressions of bewilderment.

‘What’s gotten into him to give such lip service?’

While everyone was thinking that, Hallind spoke to Leo.

“Be careful with such words in front of Sedjen from now on, Leo Flobe. It won’t be good if he tries to imitate me half-heartedly.”

“Did something happen?”

When Leo looked puzzled, Hallind said with an expressionless face.

“You’ll see hell.”

Words that were calm and devoid of emotion.

But at those words, all the students felt chills.

‘If Professor Hallind says this much, what on earth will happen!’

“I’m curious though.”

‘Don’t be curious!’

Everyone glared at Leo, who was muttering calmly.

“Anyway, I’ll take it that you all accept the instructor duties. There will be frequent calls from Sedjen from now on, so be prepared. That’s all, dismissed.”

With Hallind’s words, the ten students exited the faculty office corridor.

“Instructors for admission candidates. We get to try this too.”

“It seems like it might be fun somehow.”

“Do you think so too, brother? Me too! Me too!”

Chelsea’s eyes sparkled as she agreed with Avad’s words.

Watching this, Selia swept back her hair and said.

“I was curious about the level of Icot Academy students, so this worked out well. I’ll be able to observe their swordsmanship through this opportunity.”

“Selia, I always feel this, but you’re full of enthusiasm in everything.”

“It’s the family motto. Give your best in everything.”

At Chloe’s words, Selia smiled brightly.

Then Chloe looked at Duran.

“Duran, I thought you’d refuse saying you weren’t interested in juniors.”

At those words, Duran chuckled.

“I’m curious about what level the admission candidates will be.”

When he made his characteristic arrogant expression, Eliza sneered.

“Are you even at a level to evaluate others’ abilities?”

“Are you picking a fight right now? Eliza Herginn.”

“Yes.”

“Hah. No need to wait until the sparring evaluations starting next week. I’ll show you what class means right now.”

“We’re on the same page. I’ve been feeling unsettled since we couldn’t settle things on opening day.”

The two who had ended up fighting unexpectedly after targeting Leo on opening day ultimately couldn’t settle their match that day.

As the two, both equally ill-tempered, glared at each other in a war of nerves, Chen Xia smiled sweetly and stepped between them.

“Now, now. Stop it, you two. You’ll end up fighting at this rate. Hmm… or maybe not. Then you’d get closer, so that would be good?”

“What are you talking about, Chen Xia.”

“Right. Do you think I’d get close to this person?”

Duran and Eliza flared up simultaneously.

Seeing this, Chen Xia burst into laughter.

In the midst of this, Leo spoke.

“Magic class is coming up soon. Let’s go.”

“Yes! Leo oppa!”

“There’s supposed to be a special lecture related to Star Magic today, right? I’m looking forward to it, Leo.”

Chelsea and Chloe followed behind Leo.

Avad, who was about to follow them, hesitated and looked at Woreden.

“What have you been doing? Woreden.”

Woreden had been standing still, staring intently at Leo’s retreating figure.

“I’m measuring.”

“Measuring?”

“The difference between me and Leo Flobe.”

At those words, Avad narrowed his eyes.

“Hmm? Is it because of the sparring evaluations starting next week?”

“That’s right. I’m confident I could beat anyone here.”

Woreden curled up the corners of his mouth.

At his words, the atmosphere around them completely changed.

“Hey, hey. Woreden. That’s too provocative.”

Julliden, ranked 3rd in the Summoning Department, made an awkward expression.

Though he was 3rd in the Summoning Department, there was a gap between him and the other students who had participated in the Gigantes raid.

Of course, Julliden knew this fact too, so he wasn’t provoked by Woreden’s words.

But the other students were different.

Knowing that they all had strong pride in their abilities, Julliden couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

“Hmph. Everyone here thinks the same way anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

Woreden sneered coldly.

At his words, Julliden clutched his head.

‘Even so, if you provoke them like that, everyone will get angry!’

Regardless of what Julliden thought, he continued speaking calmly.

“But I can’t guarantee anything when it comes to Leo Flobe.”

Julliden made a surprised expression.

In his view, Woreden was certainly worthy of being called a monster.

‘Honestly speaking, I can’t imagine him losing to anyone.’

It wasn’t just because they were in the same Summoning Department.

Objectively evaluated, Woreden was a monster.

Even listening to what the Southern Region students said confirmed this.

For such a Woreden to mention that he couldn’t guarantee victory.

“So my goal is to defeat that guy.”

Watching Woreden smile coldly, Duran crossed his arms.

“You’re talking as if I’m not even worth considering.”

At those words, Woreden made an indifferent expression.

“Isn’t that the same for you? Duran Moira.”

Woreden looked over his classmates.

“It’s the same for all of you. You don’t consider each other worth worrying about. Because we’ve seen it.”

Woreden looked at Leo’s figure walking away in the distance.

“The back of that guy who arrogantly stands above us as if it’s natural.”

Woreden crossed his arms and spoke with an expressionless face.

“The sight of that guy leading us as if he were our leader.”

Belligerence showed on Woreden’s face.

“And we’ve realized that we’ve come to accept that fact.”

Woreden walked with heavy steps.

“Haven’t we all lived unable to accept others being above us? Then our goal can only be the same.”

To defeat Leo Flobe.

The goal for their upcoming school life was set.

Or perhaps it was the moment their life goal was determined.

“Of course, I’ll be the one to defeat him.”

“Sorry, but that won’t happen, Woreden.”

Avad smiled.

“I’ll be first.”

“Don’t make me laugh. I’ll be first.”

Watching the three male students compete with their words, Eliza trimmed her nails with a disdainful expression.

“Men are so childish. What does it matter who defeats him first? Just defeat him.”

“Isn’t that part cute though?”

Chen Xia smiled sweetly as she watched the three male students bicker.

“Don’t you think that’s cute too, Selia?”

“Hmph. Cute? Disgusting. And you guys!”

Selia, with her arms crossed, snorted.

“I’m the one who’s going to defeat Leo!”

Watching Selia declare boldly and bicker with the male students, Eliza sighed.

“Selia has an unexpectedly tomboyish side.”

At Eliza’s words, Chen Xia covered her mouth and giggled.

***

The day the joint class exchange was announced.

Lumern was busy preparing to welcome guests.

They had to create an environment where the large number of students could focus on their studies without any inconvenience.

Servants ran around busily.

The students also prepared a welcome party before classes.

Since it was a visit from external guests, the overall atmosphere was excited.

In the midst of this.

There were also students heading out to Lumeria City.

“Going out to Lumeria City on a weekday like this. It feels kind of strange.”

On the boat, Chelsea spoke with a slightly excited voice.

“Don’t get too excited since we’re not going to play.”

Selia rolled her eyes.

“Hmph! I know that! Bleh!”

“You little!”

Watching the two bicker as always, Leo chuckled.

The students assigned as guides were heading to Lumeria City to meet the Top 3 Class Academy.

‘Prospective underclassmen… I’m a little curious about what kind of kids there will be.’

As his eyes lit up with interest, the boat arrived at the dock.

Leo got off the ship.

“Well, it’s not time to gather yet. We have free time until then, so shall we look around?”

“Shall we?”

It was when Leo nodded at Selia’s words.

“Leo Flobe.”

Someone called Leo from the dock.

Leo looked ahead.

And seeing the person standing there, he made a puzzled expression.

Selia hurriedly bowed her head.

“Hello, Vice Principal.”

Standing there was none other than Riben, the Vice Principal of Lumern.

His appearance after not showing himself since the opening ceremony.

It was when all the other students were also flustered.

“Leo Flobe. Shall we have a talk for a moment?”
