187

News of the unprecedented major event—the birth of a 1st-year student council president—spread across the entire world in an instant.

Leo’s level of attention had been extraordinary from the beginning.

The unprecedented fact of being all-class, and his extraordinary actions that were hard to believe for a 1st-year.

On top of that, he firmly held the position of grade representative among the current 1st-year generation, called Lumern’s golden generation.

He was literally a young Hero Candidate overflowing with noteworthy points.

But this time, by ascending to the position of student council president, he had literally become more than just a simple rookie.

Especially the fact that he was a Phoenix contractor became an even more attention-grabbing element.

Added to that, he had even achieved a draw with Ris, the current strongest student.

This 1st-year sparring evaluation was literally becoming the subject of worldwide attention.

Lumeria City, called the center of the world and already crowded with people, had so many crowds flocking to hear news of Lumern.

The birth of a new hero always makes people excited.

Especially the heroic tales of a boy like Leo were enough to excite people even more.

At this time when world affairs were turbulent due to various recent incidents, Leo’s appearance was literally like sunshine.

People’s reactions were enthusiastic, as if a new hero had already been born.

Along with him, the 1st-years who had been praised as the golden generation also gained attention.

Expectations for this year’s Lumern 1st-year students had already reached their peak due to the Gigantes subjugation during the first semester.

On top of that, a student council president had emerged from the same 1st-year class, so the way people looked at the same grade was different.

While the outside of Lumern was interested in Leo and the entire 1st-year class like this.

Inside Lumern…

“I, I’m completely burned out…!”

Cal, slumped over his desk, spoke in a trembling voice as if pleading.

“What kind of exam has no multiple choice questions and is all essay questions!”

Iliana clutched her head.

“What kind of exam is this diffi…”

Even Chelsea, one of the top honor students among all 1st-years, was groaning.

Regardless of the world’s reaction, the teenagers were overwhelmed just dealing with the exam right in front of them.

The difficulty of the written exam was incomparable to the first semester midterms and finals.

No matter how the outside world looked at them, they were literally struggling with the exam schedule.

Despite it being the last day of exams, which they would normally be jumping for joy about, all the 1st-years were sprawled out.

It was when everyone was sprawled out in a dazed state like this.

Creak-!

The door opened and Hallind and Sena entered the classroom.

The students reflexively startled and straightened their posture.

Thump- Thump-

Hallind calmly approached the podium, put down the attendance book, and curled up the corners of his mouth.

“You all seem to have enjoyed the exam.”

‘How could it be enjoyable!’

‘It was really difficult!’

The students screamed internally and protested silently, but no student was bold enough to voice it out loud.

Without even glancing at his students, Hallind spoke.

“You all worked hard taking the exam. I hope everyone survives this time too.”

At those words, the students showed moved expressions.

“If there’s anyone who gets a recommendation to drop out, I’ll show them hell before they leave school, so you’d better hope for that.”

Of course, their mood plummeted again at Hallind’s following words.

As the class atmosphere became dejected like this, Hallind spoke.

“Anyway, since the exam is over, there’s an announcement.”

“An, announcement?”

“What now?”

All of Class 5 showed tense expressions.

They had no choice.

These were 1st-years who had gotten used to Lumern as much as they could.

They knew all too well that the school wouldn’t let students relax just because exams were over.

‘Ne, new practicum?’

‘Or maybe they’re giving us some really difficult assignment?’

Everyone held their breath and focused on Hallind’s words.

“One month from now. There will be Lusejeon.”

“…”

“…”

At those words, everyone’s eyes became round like rabbit eyes.

After a moment…

“Ooooh!”

“Lusejeon!”

“Finally it’s Lusejeon!”

Cheers erupted not only from Class 5 but from other classes as well.

It was inevitable.

Lusejeon was literally the biggest event among the year’s academic events.

It wasn’t simply about competing in academic achievements and skills, but a place to showcase everything accumulated during school life.

Students in club activities also hold presentation-like events during Lusejeon.

Besides that, the school opens up extensively and many outside guests come in.

It’s literally an event that fits the description of a school festival.

Watching his students show excited reactions, Hallind curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Of course, that’s only if you don’t get a recommendation to drop out.”

Hallind, who had once again sent the class atmosphere to rock bottom, spoke.

“This Lusejeon will be held at Seirun, not Lumern.”

Lusejeon is held alternately between Lumern and Seirun once a year.

And this year was the year for Seirun to host Lusejeon.

“As you know, our school has been losing to Seirun in Lusejeon for the past few years.”

At those words, the students showed frustrated expressions.

“It’s a regrettable story from the school’s perspective.”

A slight irritation appeared on Hallind’s face, which usually didn’t show emotions well.

It was proof that he was quite displeased.

“Rest well over the weekend. Starting next week, selection matches for representatives for each competition will begin, so prepare well.”

Lusejeon is an event where all students in the school participate.

But among them, there are also competitions where representatives are selected to compete.

Being selected as a representative for Lusejeon is a very proud thing.

And in some events, representatives are selected regardless of academics.

“That’s all.”

After finishing the announcement, Hallind left the class.

Then the Class 5 students began chattering, gathering with their close friends.

“Chelsea, you were in the Music Club, right? Are you going as a club representative?”

“Yes. I’m taking the soprano part.”

“A 1st-year beating out the club seniors?”

“That’s amazing?”

“You haven’t seen her sing, right? It’s no joke.”

Chelsea was said to be the ace even in the Music Club.

Though she was a 1st-year, her voice was gentle and beautiful, so she was chosen as the club representative.

“Cal, what’s your club doing?”

At Taide’s question, Cal grinned and made a circle with his finger.

“The seniors say the profits from Lusejeon are quite substantial. So we’re planning several business items.”

“By the way, any club’s presentation requires a lot of budget, especially.”

“Yeah. The Music Club says they need more budget than usual for stage setup and performance preparation.”

“The Business Club also needs their business report approved to operate in Lusejeon.”

“Usually the Student Council handles that kind of thing, right?”

The entire class, who had been chattering about club activities, turned their gazes to one side of the classroom.

Leo, who had been reading a book and listening to the conversation with apparent disinterest since he wasn’t involved in club activities, looked up.

“What are you looking at?”

Before their eyes was the highest authority figure among students.

Of course, he had left the practical work to Vice President Hark, and his full student council president activities would begin next year.

But even so, did that mean Leo had no power?

That wasn’t the case either.

“Class president! Class president! You know! You know!”

Iliana scurried over to Leo, crouched down in front of him, and looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

“If the Mage Swordsman Club had just a tiiiiiny bit of budget, we could create and showcase a really amazing magic sword, you know?”

The Mage Swordsman Club’s presentation mainly consisted of magic sword creation.

Mage swordsmen who handled both sword and magic simultaneously were all specialized in creating magic swords.

Sometimes there were those who could create magic swords superior to even alchemists.

Starting with Iliana, the Class 5 students gathered around Leo.

“Leo! Wyvern fangs just arrived in Lumeria City! I want to research summoning with them, but the budget is insufficient!”

“Class president! I have something too!”

Looking at his classmates who had swarmed over with sparkling eyes, Leo nodded and pulled out a notepad from his pocket.

“Go ahead and tell me.”

“Ooooh!”

“So generous! Class president!”

“It’s great having a student council president in the same class!”

Several of them cheered enthusiastically.

Chelsea and Cal, who were watching this scene, clicked their tongues disapprovingly.

Nella, the beautiful girl with her usual languid smile, asked the two of them.

“Don’t you two have any requests for Leo?”

“Nope.”

“Those guys have been in the same class as Leo for half a year already, and they still don’t know his personality?”

Leo, who had written down all his classmates’ requests in his notepad, stood up and headed toward the classroom entrance, muttering.

“My first task as student council president being to punish my classmates’ corrupt solicitations. This doesn’t feel good at all. Should I conduct internal investigations of all the clubs mentioned here?”

“Hey! Stop him!”

“Stop him!”

“Ahhh! Class presideeent!”

“We were wrong!”

The Class 5 students grabbed onto Leo’s legs and clung to him.

***

After the exams ended, Leo headed to the Student Council Room in the Tower of Heroes.

Even though Hark was supposed to handle the handover, Leo, as student council president, needed to show his face at the student council.

When Leo entered the Student Council Room, the student council members were moving about busily.

“It’s Leo.”

“Welcome, Leo!”

The 5th-year students smiled brightly upon seeing Leo.

To the seniors facing graduation, Leo was a very adorable junior.

“You seem busy.”

“Yeah. We’re busy because of Lusejeon.”

“Take it easy. Here, have some snacks too.”

“Huh? You’re giving these to us?”

“Since he’s the next student council president, he’s even taking care of the student council members!”

“Perfect timing since my blood sugar dropped.”

“Are you already at the age where your blood sugar drops? Well, you have aged a lot during these five years.”

“Want to die?”

The 5th-years glared at each other and bickered.

In fact, these were expensive snacks that the Class 5 students had dumped on Leo to keep him quiet.

Thanks to Leo not liking snacks, they became snacks for the student council officers instead.

Leaving the 5th-year seniors behind, he entered the Student Council Room.

There, Hark was receiving a handover of student council president duties from Ris with a soul-drained expression.

“As expected of Ligard’s heir. There’s really nothing I need to teach you.”

Ris smiled and patted Hark’s shoulder encouragingly.

Hark rubbed his eyes, which were full of dark circles from lack of sleep, and said.

“No. Rather, couldn’t I receive the handover from Senior Torua while he receives the handover from Senior Ris?”

With a face worn out from fatigue, Hark pointed to Elena, who was receiving vice president duties from Torua on one side.

At those words, Elena smiled sweetly.

“How could I, a 3rd-year, become vice president by pushing aside Senior Hark?”

“Hey, you were the one making a fuss about becoming student council president until the first semester, weren’t you?”

“Elena doesn’t remember such things~ Hark oppa~”

“Don’t call me by the nickname you used when we were young. It’s disgusting.”

Hark’s face contorted completely.

Though the two were famous for having a bad relationship normally, right now Hark was unilaterally being hysterical toward Elena.

In fact, Elena found Hark’s suffering quite satisfying.

In the midst of this, Ris noticed Leo.

“You’re here?”

“Yes.”

Leo nodded and went to the window side of the Student Council Room, looking down outside as he spoke.

“It’s such an honor that the two seniors, heirs of Jeron and Ligard, two of Lumern’s Three Noble Families, are helping with student council work in place of inadequate me.”

“You… When you become a 2nd-year, I’ll immediately challenge you to a duel and dump all the student council work on you!”

“Please do that.”

At Leo’s calm response, Hark grabbed the back of his neck while Elena chuckled softly.

“I know you’re busy preparing for Lusejeon, but is there anything I can help with?”

At Leo’s question, Ris said.

“Then could you go inspect the clubs for me?”

“Club inspection?”

“Yeah. Around this time, everyone’s busy preparing for Lusejeon. They’re busy with things they need or budget applications. Could you handle that? That’s also part of the student council president’s job.”

“Understood.”

Leo nodded.

“It would be difficult alone, so I’ll assign you a secretary.”

With those words, a familiar 1st-year girl with black hair entered the room.

“Please take care of me, Young Master Leo.”

It was none other than Chen Xia.

Looking at her sweet smile, Leo tilted his head.

“Come to think of it, you did say you were in the student council.”

“Yes.”

“Then have a good trip.”

Ris sent the two 1st-years on their inspection.

Watching their retreating figures, Torua tilted his head.

“Is it okay to send two 1st-years?”

At those words, Ris propped his chin and pointed at Hark.

“Looking at this guy, wouldn’t that be sufficient?”

Leo, who thought of putting the famously lazy Hark to work as soon as he became student council president, was definitely not ordinary.

Torua nodded at Ris’s words.

“That’s right.”
