186

After the sparring evaluation ended, Leo approached the spectator stands where the first-years were waiting.

Everyone watched Leo with bated breath.

It was amazing that a first-year had briefly matched the strongest student.

Moreover, Leo was a Phoenix contractor.

Before long, he would truly gain strength befitting a student council president.

That’s why everyone realized.

Though he was a first-year, Leo certainly had the qualifications to be student council president.

The first-years also looked at Leo with tense eyes.

‘Is Leo really going to become student council president?’

‘Really?’

‘Won’t we have to worry about the upperclassmen’s reactions for nothing?’

‘But still, doesn’t this mean he’ll be the most powerful person among Lumern students from his first year?’

The first-years’ feelings were complicated.

The hearts of the other upperclassmen were no different.

‘Ugh! At this rate, that first-year is really going to become student council president!’

‘But there’s no justification to stop it. Elena recommended Leo Flobe as student council president in the first place.’

‘Since things have come to this, should we really try to win over Leo Flobe? If the tide is turning this way, Leo Flobe would be easier to deal with than Elena Jeron.’

Second-years screaming internally.

Third-years still watching Elena’s reactions.

And even fourth-years thinking that maybe it would be better for a first-year to become student council president at this point.

Amid various complicated gazes being exchanged.

Chirp-

“You’re hungry?”

Leo, who was heading to Class 5’s section, frowned and pulled out chocolate from his pocket, placing it on his hand.

Flutter- Fiora flew to Leo’s hand and pecked at the chocolate.

Having finished it in an instant, Fiora looked up at Leo and spread both wings while hopping around.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

“What? You want more? I don’t have any.”

Chiiirp-

“You’ll really become a pig if you keep this up.”

At those words, Fiora flew up to Leo’s head and grabbed his white hair, pulling it.

‘So, so cute!’

‘I want one! A Phoenix!’

Students who had forgotten their complicated thoughts from earlier shouted while watching Fiora.

When Leo sat down, Class 5 students swarmed around him.

“What the! What’s this! When did you contract with a Phoenix?”

“This is amazing!”

“Leo! Let me see too!”

Fiora looked bewildered as students gathered around.

It was the first time in her life receiving such enthusiastic attention.

But her confusion was brief.

She elegantly raised her head while perched on Leo’s head.

“Kyaaaah!”

“So cute!”

As the Class 5 female students screamed with delight, Fiora struck various poses.

Each time reactions burst forth, Fiora became even more pleased with herself.

“Eek! Hey! Professor Hallind is glaring at us!”

“Gasp!”

But when Cal urgently shouted, they came to their senses and quickly returned to their seats.

Fiora, who had been preening for a while, looked around in confusion as the crowd disappeared.

Amid such commotion.

Kalian, who had been watching the situation from the highest seat, was looking at Leo.

“In the end, he proved that he’s worthy of being student council president himself.”

Kalian nodded at Riben’s murmur beside him and stood up from his seat.

“What are you planning to do?”

“If it’s been proven, now we just need to make it official, don’t we?”

At those words, Riben said.

“Surprising. I knew you favored Leo Flobe, but I didn’t know you’d support him this actively.”

“Isn’t he a qualified student?”

Kalian smiled at Riben’s words and went down to the dueling arena.

When Kalian, the principal, suddenly walked to the center of the dueling arena, all students looked surprised.

Amid this, Kalian looked around at the students and said.

“All first-years, good work. I’m sure you felt many things while sparring.”

Kalian looked at the first-years with a serious expression.

“Some students will have discovered themselves grown incomparably compared to half a year ago, and others will have directly experienced the growth of students they thought were inferior to them.”

At those words, there were students with proud expressions and others with frustrated expressions.

“This is the path you must walk. You must compete endlessly and grow endlessly. That’s how you gradually become more heroic. It’s the path your upperclassmen have walked. It’s also the path I have walked.”

Kalian smiled kindly and said.

“And I’ll also talk about the student council president.”

Everyone held their breath.

Looking at the entire grade with tense expressions, Kalian said.

“Lumern’s motto is ‘Transcend your limits.’ In other words, this also means anything can happen.”

Kalian looked at the spectator stands where the upperclassmen were sitting.

“In your view, does student Leo lack the qualifications to be student council president?”

At those words, no student could say anything.

Leo himself had engaged in an equal match with the strongest student.

Moreover, he was even a Phoenix contractor.

Just from what Leo had shown so far, his qualifications for student council president were sufficient.

Of course, the current Leo wasn’t the ‘strongest student.’

But Leo was a first-year.

He held infinite possibilities.

He had shown the potential to surpass the current strong students in the blink of an eye.

“There aren’t many students qualified to be student council president. Much less students with the right qualities.”

Hallind smiled.

“I judged that Leo Flobe is a student who has both the qualifications and qualities for student council president, so I accepted Ris Jerdinger’s recommendation.”

No one could answer.

“So I intend to appoint Leo Flobe as student council president here and now. Are there any students with objections?”

Not only the entire student body but even the professors were surprised, but no student raised objections.

Kalian, who had been watching that scene for a moment, said.

“Ris Jerdinger, Leo Flobe, come forward.”

At those words, Leo and Ris stepped out to the center of the dueling arena again.

“The official appointment will be at the end of the second semester, but since you’ll need to receive the handover from now, I thought it would be good to announce it in front of the students now. What do you think?”

“I’m fine with it.”

“Me too.”

At those words, Kalian smiled and nodded.

“Good. Then from now on, I hereby declare Leo Flobe as the next student council president.”

At that declaration, all the students looked at each other.

But when Ris started clapping, they glanced around cautiously and soon began to follow suit.

Clap- Clap- Clap- Clap-

Various gazes crossed as they watched the unprecedented appearance of a first-year student council president.

Elena rested her chin on her hand and smiled faintly.

‘Now I need to help Leo succeed as student council president.’

While thinking this, she scanned the third-years and narrowed her eyes.

‘I wonder what I should do about those who are dissatisfied.’

Among the third-years, there were those who showed absolute obedience to Elena’s words.

But there were also many who thought and acted on their own whims.

‘I should manage them before they do something stupid using my name, right?’

Elena smiled with the grin of a tyrant.

Meanwhile, the fourth-year spectator stands remained calm.

“Not bad, Leo Flobe?”

A competitive spirit arose in Hark’s eyes.

“It would be fun to fight that guy, wouldn’t it?”

The surrounding classmates sighed deeply as they watched Hark, who thought of nothing but competing with someone except when sleeping.

“Leo. Would you share your thoughts on becoming student council president in front of the students?”

At Ris’s words, Leo received a microphone enchanted with voice amplification magic.

As Leo took the microphone, everyone wore tense expressions.

Leo scanned all of them and spoke.

“I will do my best to ensure that the fact of a first-year becoming student council president does not harm the school.”

The professors nodded at his words, which were close to a model answer.

“And if you experience it once and don’t like it or have complaints, come find me. If you fight me and win, I’ll hand over the student council president position.”

“…!”

“…!”

Everyone gaped and stared at Leo.

Those words were tantamount to a provocation against the second, third, and fourth-years.

Even Ris looked at Leo with an incredulous expression.

“Pfft! Puhehe! Hahahahahaha!”

Hark, who was sitting in the fourth-year spectator stands, clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

“I like it! That’s right! If you become student council president, a position called the strongest among students, shouldn’t you have that much spirit?”

“You think this is funny? If things go wrong, there could be a student council president battle royale starting next year!”

One of the fourth-years scolded Hark.

The student council president is granted powerful authority.

If abused, it could cause tremendous chaos in the school itself.

There had been such precedents in Lumern’s history.

Yet Leo had publicly declared at his student council president appointment that anyone could become president by ‘just beating him.’

The upperclassmen couldn’t help but covet that position.

“Leave him be. That guy isn’t thoughtless, and he must be confident enough to provoke so boldly, right?”

Hark, with his arms crossed, looked at Leo with eyes burning more intensely than usual.

“Fifth year is going to be interesting.”

In the midst of this, Leo added more.

“Ah. And I’ve already decided on the vice president. It’s fourth-year senior Hark Rigard.”

“Huh?”

“Senior Hark will handle all the student council administrative work too.”

Everyone wore surprised expressions as they watched Leo continue his announcement calmly.

The student council president’s power comes from administrative work.

To entrust that source of power to Hark?

‘No, that person wouldn’t do such troublesome work in the first place, right?’

All students focused on Hark.

And as expected, Hark shot up from his seat.

“Why should I do such troublesome work?”

Leo made an expression as if he was hearing something strange while watching Hark rebel with a scrunched face.

“Senior Hark. I’m the student council president starting next year, right?”

“That’s right.”

“The student council president has personnel appointment authority, right?”

“That’s right.”

“So that’s why I ordered it.”

Hark’s face contorted mercilessly.

Hark also slept every day, so his personality wasn’t well known, but it wasn’t particularly good either.

As such a Hark made a menacing expression, everyone wore tense faces.

A bizarre scene of the new student council president and vice president having a power struggle from the start.

And the content was strange too.

‘No, he’s refusing because he doesn’t want to handle administrative work?’

“Like hell I’ll do that. I refuse.”

“I refuse your refusal.”

“Who do you think you are?”

“I’m the student council president.”

Leo smiled.

“Do it because I told you to.”

“What? That bastard…!”

Hark grabbed the back of his neck while looking at the impudent junior student council president.

It felt like the low blood pressure he’d gained from being drunk on sleep every day was being cured.

“Hey! You guys say something! That bastard is already getting cocky with his senior just because he became student council president!”

Hark glared and shouted at his classmates.

But the fourth-years wore pleased expressions.

“If Hark has the real power, isn’t that good for us?”

“Right. The student council’s power comes from administrative work anyway.”

“Looking at how that guy usually acts, he deserves to hear such words from a first-year.”

No one was on Hark’s side, who usually just slept no matter what happened.

“You guys really….”

Hark’s body trembled.

Watching this, Leo smiled faintly.

“Power is quite nice.”

At those words, Hark had to grab the back of his neck once again.

***

Seirun.

“Student council president? A first-year?”

“If it’s Leo Flobe… is that the guy who conquered the Progenitor of the Starry Skies’ hero dungeon this time?”

The elf students also showed surprised reactions.

Seirun students weren’t very interested in the affairs of other Hero Academies.

This was because they were full of confidence that they were the best hero candidates.

However, the fact of a first-year student council president was enough to bring tremendous buzz to Seirun as well.

“I heard he made a contract with a Phoenix?”

“…We might need to be a bit nervous about this Seruleon.”

The Seirun upperclassmen generally regarded Leo with wariness.

Meanwhile, Runia clenched her hands tightly while looking at the newspaper in class.

‘Leo became student council president?’

Just when she thought she was barely catching up, he had stepped one pace ahead.

‘Good! I’ll quickly make a contract with a Phoenix too and chase after that guy!’

Runia’s eyes blazed fiercely.

Meanwhile, Eiran, sitting in the next seat, was cutting out Leo’s photo from the newspaper and smiling brightly.

‘Leo looks so cool in this newspaper.’

Eiran, who had a hobby of collecting items related to heroes, had been increasingly documenting Leo’s achievements lately.

***

“…He’s really making it big. A first-year as student council president.”

“I heard he made a contract with Phoenix?”

“I’d like to fight him once?”

Voices filled with competitive spirit could be heard from here and there.

Among them, a beastman girl sitting at her classroom desk was swishing her white cat tail back and forth while looking down at the newspaper.

‘Black Rabbit!’

Ar perked up her ears at the news of the boy she had declared as her rival.

With the world watching.

Lumern was moving forward in a new direction.
