“Bible?”

Leo’s unique magic that he had presented as the practical exam for the first semester Magic Studies Department midterm.

It was such an absurd magic that Torua remembered it too.

‘He said it was magic that could use all the magic in the world without any penalties, right?’

It was an unbelievable story.

All the magic in the world.

That meant it included not only commonly known magic but even unique magic.

Even basic magic alone had countless variations.

Yet he designed magic that could even use unique magic.

‘This isn’t human magic.’

Everyone who encountered Leo’s unique magic thought so.

But during the midterm exam, Leo had even presented the basic formulas that made the magic work.

Just from that, everyone could tell this first-year was serious about completing his magic.

‘When they saw the thesis, everyone called him crazy.’

But Torua liked Leo.

Whether it worked or not, what Leo pursued was a mage’s ideal.

However, Leo’s magic ‘Bible’ was quickly forgotten from people’s minds due to its lack of feasibility despite being shocking.

Torua also only remembered it as ‘Oh right, he did something like that.’

But…

‘He actually implemented it?’

Torua’s face showed an expression of shock.

If she had only heard about it, she would never have believed it.

But right now, Leo was using Torua’s unique magic before her eyes.

The ultimate form of magic that Torua envisioned was right in front of her.

Feeling shivers run through her entire body, Torua activated her magic.

Flash-!

Brilliant magic decorated the air.

Leo immediately activated his magic in response.

Kwagagagagagang-!

The magic clashed in midair.

‘He’s really using my unique magic.’

Torua hung her head low.

Her body trembled.

She hadn’t lived a long life.

But the achievements she had gained through a lifetime of dedication to magic were being used by this first-year brat before her eyes.

To casually copy unique magic that symbolizes a mage.

‘This kind of thing… this kind of thing…’

Torua raised her head.

‘It’s so fascinating!’

With sparkling eyes, Torua raised her staff.

“Leo. I’m extremely excited right now, you know? How can you do that? How far can you copy my magic?”

Gooooooo-!

Thrilling magical power surged.

Seeing this, Leo broke out in cold sweat.

‘Amazing.’

The title of Lumern’s strongest mage wasn’t earned for nothing.

She would surely become a great mage who would command the world in the future.

The crystallization of her own efforts and conquering the Heroes’ World.

Zing- Flash-!

Leo’s eyes widened at the tremendous number of unique magic circles decorating the air.

Flash-!

“You can even copy this.”

Torua’s eyes became slightly hazy.

Before her eyes was magic like a miracle that could never be achieved.

The unknown magic was stimulating Torua, who was more filled with curiosity than anyone else.

‘I want to research it. I want to research it. I want to research it. I want to research it. I want to research it.’

Only one obsession filled her mind.

Watching such Torua, Leo felt his vision burning.

‘Is it still too much after all?’

Leo’s unique magic.

More precisely, the unique magic created by Kail was literally a technique only possible for Kail who utilized Kail’s mana characteristics.

The mana characteristic that Risinass named ‘pure’ could become anything, granting Leo talent in all classes.

And this was the same for each class.

He wasn’t restricted by attributes either.

Of course, he couldn’t reach the extreme in any one thing, but he could follow paths created by others better than anyone.

Bible was also magic of such nature.

It amplified formula calculation ability with magical power in an instant.

And it analyzed others’ magic to absorb it directly.

This was the principle of Bible.

‘Of course, it’s not omnipotent.’

Magic that couldn’t be activated with formulas alone.

Unique magic with characteristics Leo wasn’t born with couldn’t be used.

A representative example was Chloe’s Ice World.

Field magic was one of the areas Leo was most vulnerable in.

In that sense, Leo was like a natural enemy to Torua.

Torua’s magic was all purely built up through her own efforts.

Therefore, as long as he could calculate the formulas, he could copy them indefinitely.

‘Of course, those formulas are damn complex.’

Leo felt his vision burning.

He could feel his entire body being strained due to overload.

‘For now, copying is the most I can do.’

The completion of Bible meant storing formulas seen once and being able to use that magic directly when Bible was completed next time.

But for now, seeing and copying was the limit.

‘Moreover, even if I complete Bible to its previous level, these magic spells would be impossible to implement. They’re too complex.’

His mind couldn’t remember.

In book terms, it was like not having enough pages to write on.

Leo blocked Torua’s magic once again.

‘Bible’s current activation time is 1 minute.’

About 30 seconds, half the time, had passed so far.

But cold sweat was flowing all over his body.

His vision was burning and his head was ringing.

The limit due to overload was gradually approaching.

Even so, Torua, who was extremely excited, continued to fire magic spells.

“Can you copy this too? This too? This too?”

Like taking toys out of a toy box.

Watching Torua continuously pour out new unique magic, Leo felt tremendous magical power and stamina consumption.

Just when Leo reached the brink of his limit.

Boom-!

The lava golem blocking Torua’s goal on the ground exploded.

The ball had smashed the lava golem to pieces.

Torua stared wide-eyed at the ground below.

Leo deactivated his Bible and said.

“We won, didn’t we?”

“What?”

“You said if we scored even one goal, you’d acknowledge our victory.”

“Ah….”

Torua wore a dazed expression as he recalled what he had said moments ago.

Leo chuckled once at Torua’s reaction and descended to the ground.

Everyone looked at Leo with strange expressions.

Leo staggered as he landed on the ground.

“Are you okay?”

Chloe hurriedly supported Leo.

“I’m just a little tired.”

“If you’re struggling, lean on me a bit.”

“Then I won’t refuse.”

As Leo leaned his weight on her, Chloe braced herself with her strength.

Seeing this, Leo chuckled and extended his palm toward Chloe.

When Chloe gave him a high-five, Avad and Chelsea also approached and high-fived Leo.

“Leo! You finally completed that thing?”

“That was amazing. Could you show me the magic formula next time?”

“Ah, me too.”

Just as the four were creating a cheerful atmosphere.

“Who said you could end the game on your own?”

Torua stood firmly in front of the first-years.

“Didn’t we win?”

When Avad asked with his characteristic gentle smile, Torua nodded.

“Yeah. But there’s still time left.”

“You said if we scored one goal, we’d win.”

When Chelsea poked just her face out from behind Avad and spoke sulkily, Torua said.

“Yeah. But promises are made to be broken.”

Just as the first-years wore bewildered expressions at Torua teaching them such a wonderful lesson.

“Torua. Promises are made to be kept. You should treat the first-years with love.”

Ulta appeared and restrained Torua.

“Eirya. Let’s politely escort Torua off the field.”

Ulta summoned his Pegasus, Eirya, and dragged Torua out of the arena.

“Aah! Let go of this!”

The first-years covered their mouths and held back laughter as they watched Torua being dragged away, struggling with his hair caught in the Pegasus’s mouth.

Regardless, Ulta looked at Leo and said.

“I thought you could use summoning magic.”

“Did you?”

“Your magic was impressive as well.”

Leo burst into laughter at Ulta’s words.

Meanwhile.

Whoooosh-

At the sound from the adjacent arena, everyone’s attention turned to Selia.

The Bastera ball was engulfed in flames.

Everyone wore shocked expressions as they watched Selia burning herself with her own flames while unleashing firepower beyond her limits.

Whoosh-!

Selia’s flames were absorbed into the Bastera ball.

As Selia threw the ball into the air, Duran, with lightning aura wrapped around his foot, kicked the ball toward Chen Xia.

Bang-! Crackle crackle crackle-!

Seeing the ball wrapped in flame and lightning aura, Chen Xia spun her body.

Whoosh-!

Chen Xia drew the ball into her rotation radius and began spinning in place, adding acceleration to the ball.

Whoooosh- Crackle crackle-

Though her hands were mangled by the intense flames and lightning, Chen Xia didn’t care.

The most important part of this combination attack was none other than Chen Xia.

Chen Xia, having maximized the ball’s acceleration, launched it toward Jamua.

Crash crash crash-!

Jamua admired the ball filled with tremendous destructive power.

“Try catching this!”

Selia shouted confidently.

Jamua grinned at this and simply dodged the ball with a swift movement.

Crash-!

The ball that entered the goal made a tremendous noise as it broke through the goalpost and destroyed the training ground wall.

“You won. Well done.”

Jamua laughed heartily and clapped his hands.

Selia with burns all over her body, Duran with swollen feet from overusing his aura, and Chen Xia with mangled hands from controlling the wild ball all looked at Jamua with hollow eyes.

“Wait! Why did you dodge it?”

When Selia protested, Jamua shrugged his shoulders.

“If I took an attack like that head-on, even I would end up in the infirmary. I don’t like pain.”

“Grrrr!”

Hahaha! Selia clutched her head as she watched Jamua cross his arms and burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Ris, who had been watching this scene, crossed his arms.

‘Selia has grown beyond recognition.’

He had expected his sister would grow much more after enrolling at Lumern.

But Selia’s growth rate was far exceeding even Ris’s expectations.

‘And just now, Leo’s magic.’

Though Ris wasn’t a mage, he could tell at a glance how absurd what Leo had accomplished was.

And seeing that magic, he could understand Ulta’s words that Leo already had the qualities of a student council president.

‘It might not take very long.’

Ris looked down at his hands.

His hands were drenched in cold sweat.

As the heir to Jerdinger, he had lived his entire life as ‘the best.’

Being still young, there were many stronger than Ris.

But Ris was confident he could surpass them all.

And he never doubted that as the master of Jerdinger, he would someday become ‘the best.’

So this was a first.

‘Seeing a junior who will surpass me.’

Looking at his cousin who would someday overtake him, Ris wiped his hands.

***

In the headmaster’s office, Kalian silently gazed at his beloved sword.

The old sword called Klesis.

But it was also a sword that contained unbelievably vast mana.

This sword was both a symbol of the Sword Saint and one of the swords evaluated as the most powerful in this world.

A sword whose origins were unknown.

‘But in that moment, it transformed as if it were brand new.’

Recalling when he had defeated the remnants of the Curse King Kigorss, Kalian fell into thought.

‘The mana resonance remaining in the sword definitely belongs to Leo Flobe.’

Not only was he an unprecedented all-class student, but he also defeated formidable opponents to claim the position of grade representative.

On top of that, he had already conquered the World of the Great Heroes twice and found evidence of Kail’s existence, who was thought to be non-existent—an unbelievable first-year student.

Those destined to become heroes show extraordinary behavior from their first year.

Kalian too had an exceptional school life from his first year as a Lumern student.

But he couldn’t dare compare himself to Leo.

‘What exactly is his identity?’

He had wondered this countless times.

The Sword Saint had seen in Leo not the demeanor of a young boy, but that of a seasoned hero on multiple occasions.

‘Elena Jeron seems to evaluate Leo as having the potential of a Great Hero, but… it’s different. He’s already like the legendary Great Heroes.’

It was when Kalian was resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Knock knock-

At the sound of knocking, Kalian spoke.

“Come in.”

The door opened and Ris entered.

“Ris, what brings you here?”

Seeing Kalian ask with a puzzled expression, Ris said.

“I’d like to recommend a candidate for student council president.”

“You’ve been thinking about it for quite a while, and now you’ve finally decided. So, who is it?”

“Leo Flobe.”

When an unexpected student’s name was mentioned, Kalian let out a hollow laugh.
