“How arrogant!”

“Just because you deciphered Luna’s magic that hadn’t been interpreted before, do you think you’re something special?”

The Seirun students frowned and glared at Leo.

The Lumern students wore expressions of satisfaction.

In the midst of this, Idin grinned slyly.

“What tremendous confidence! Leo Flobe. But Seirun has been Lumern’s wall for a long time – are you confident?”

“Starting this year, things will be very different.”

“So confident? The next Lumern student council president.”

Riennia walked toward Leo with clicking heels – click- click-.

“Does that mean this year Lumern is different because you’re here?”

“Yes.”

Riennia licked her upper lip with her tongue – lick-.

“It’s much more rewarding to defeat such a confident opponent.”

At the sight of Riennia laughing with a hoot-, the 3rd and 4th year Lumern students trembled.

Riennia.

As Seirun’s student council president, she had been evaluated as the top Hero Candidate for the past 5 years.

Her skills and achievements were on par with Lumern’s Ris.

But that alone wasn’t reason enough for the 3rd and 4th years to tremble.

The reason they shuddered at the sight of her was because of her characteristics.

Her nickname was the Hunter.

She had the tenacity to absolutely defeat any opponent she set as her target.

And beneath her pure appearance, she hid sadistic tendencies that thoroughly crushed her opponents.

To the 3rd and 4th years who had experienced her nature several times through Lusejeon, Riennia was literally terror.

When she showed such a reaction, it wasn’t only the Lumern students who shuddered.

The Seirun students also flinched.

She had the charisma to control even the arrogant and haughty Seirun students.

Since she became student council president, there had been quite a few students who rebelled for no reason only to be thoroughly crushed.

Riennia, standing before Leo, sparkled her golden eyes and reached out to lightly grasp Leo’s chin.

“You who restored the Progenitor’s magic and conquered the Progenitor’s World are worth defeating. Hehe, don’t cry when this big sister beats you. Oh, you could come study at our Seirun too. Since you restored the Progenitor’s magic, you’d be qualified to enter Seirun. How about coming to Seirun while you’re at it? Then you could have that trophy you want so badly, right?”

“That woman. We can’t just leave her alone.”

Elena, who had been twirling her hair with her finger as if uninterested from one side of the party hall, muttered in a cold voice.

“E, Elena?”

Elena’s pink eyes were emitting a cold light.

“How dare she pull such dirty tricks on Leo.”

“C, calm down! Elena! If you get involved too, it’ll be chaos!”

“The Seirun student council president is just joking, right?”

The shocked 3rd years tried somehow to calm Elena down, but there were few students who could stop her, known as the Queen of Lumern.

Elena ignored her classmates and tried to approach the two with a serious expression.

Then someone put their arm around Elena’s shoulders.

“Why is our junior feeling uncomfortable again?”

“Senior Torua.”

“Watch how Leo handles it. He’s the student council president you chose, isn’t he?”

At Torua’s words, Elena glanced at Leo.

Meanwhile, a similar situation was occurring among the teachers.

“Mmph! Mmph!”

“Hey, you crazy bastard! Why are you trying to interfere in student affairs!”

Yura was desperately trying to hold back Ren, who was struggling with his eyes wide open.

Ain sighed and hooked Ren’s neck with his arm to restrain him while covering his mouth with his remaining hand.

Then Hallind approached.

“Another commotion?”

“H, Professor Hallind!”

Yura stood at attention.

Normally Ren would have calmed down at Hallind’s appearance, but there was no sign of that.

Hallind looked at Ren and gestured to Ain with his chin.

“Handle it.”

Crack-

Ain put strength into his arm without hesitation and knocked Ren unconscious.

The surrounding Lumern professors looked appalled at the sight.

“What should we do?”

When Yura asked calmly, Hallind answered matter-of-factly.

“Throw him outside. Getting some snow in the cold should bring him to his senses.”

Ain and Yura went to dump Ren outside without hesitation.

While the three professors displayed such touching senior-junior camaraderie that brought tears to one’s eyes.

Leo brushed away Riennia’s hand that was holding his chin and smiled.

“Thank you for the offer, but I find taking things more interesting.”

“Oh my. You have similar tastes to mine.”

Riennia smiled sweetly.

“Then you’ll never get to touch the Seruleon championship trophy?”

“I’ll steal it and display it somewhere casually, so I won’t need to touch it.”

Riennia made a slightly dumbfounded expression watching Leo speak as if it were nothing.

She had worked hard throughout her school life to protect the Lusejeon trophy, but this 1st year from Lumern was treating the trophy like a random stone on the street.

Moreover, no matter what provocation she made, he countered without backing down even once, which felt quite annoying.

‘He’s quite composed.’

Slightly irritated, Riennia approached the trophy, lifted it, and shook it teasingly.

“Hmph. You’ll never be able to take this trophy to Lumern in your lifetime, will you?”

‘President!’

‘Why are you being so childish!’

The Seirun students covered their faces at the childish provocation.

Leo, who had been staring blankly at Riennia, infused mana into the Polium on his left wrist and returned it to its original form.

Then he shook it and asked.

“Seirun doesn’t have anything like this, right?”

Riennia flinched at Leo responding just as childishly.

“Ahem! W, well then, now that we’ve heard the student council presidents’ resolve, let’s move on to the next event!”

Idin, judging that leaving them alone any longer would make both schools seriously childish, hastily changed the subject.

Runia shook her head watching Leo calmly turn the Polium back into a bracelet.

“Our president is childish, but you’re really something too. You’re not even a kid, so why act like this?”

“Both you and I are kids though.”

“I’m not, okay? Do you think I’d get worked up over childish provocations about not having something?”

Leo, who had been watching Runia snort, opened his palm.

Pop-!

Fiora was summoned above it.

Leo gently shook Fiora and said.

“You don’t have anything like this, right?”

At those words, Runia’s shoulders trembled violently.

If it hadn’t been the party hall, she might have grabbed Leo by the collar right then.

Leo chuckled watching Runia clench her fists and grind her teeth – grind-!

“The effect is very excellent.”

“You! Just wait for Seruleon! I’ll beat you to a pulp!”

The provoked Runia stormed off.

And grabbed Eiran’s wrist as she approached Leo, pulling her away.

“R-Runia?!”

“Eiran! That guy is the enemy! The enemy! Don’t get close to him!”

“That can’t be…! Leo!”

Eiran called out to Leo desperately with a tearful expression.

Leo waved his hand at the two of them.

“Oh! Leo! You provoked her perfectly!”

“Yeah! You won the psychological warfare!”

Cal and Taide approached with laughter.

“It’d be better if you stay away from me as much as possible during the first-year matches.”

“Huh?”

“Why?”

“I think Runia’s going to charge at me recklessly.”

At those words, Cal and Taide trembled as they recalled Runia grabbing Leo by the collar and going berserk during the school trip.

“Kalian. This year’s first-years from Lumern all seem quite extraordinary. Impressive.”

Late at night.

At the highest point of Seirun.

At the Plaza of the Stars, Seirun’s principal, Benite, spoke calmly.

At Benite’s words, Kalian chuckled.

“What’s so impressive about me? The children and professors just worked hard.”

Sword Saint Kalian.

Benite, the Progenitor’s first star.

The two were heroes who lived in the same era.

They were among the most distinguished figures counted as the greatest heroes of the current age.

And the two were comrades who had fought through battlefields together.

“So how was it when you saw him directly?”

Kalian sipped his tea while looking up at the sky.

The highest point of Seirun.

This place, floating above Seirun by magic, was literally created purely for observing the stars.

Of course, it wasn’t a space permitted to everyone.

As a place that had existed since Seirun’s early days, it was mainly used when there were important meetings.

And this was a place where on clear nights, one could see stars spread infinitely across the sky.

Kalian always felt amazed whenever he came to this place.

At Kalian’s words, Benite spoke calmly.

“I understand why you and Sir Riben chose him.”

Benite recalled Leo, whom he had glimpsed earlier in passing.

“He’s material worthy of carrying the era. A talent that Nergzia would covet.”

Nergzia.

He was Seirun’s vice-principal dispatched from Dragonnia.

And he was more actively interested in hero cultivation than anyone else.

He was a dragon with the ambition to create a great hero with his own hands.

“So Nergzia is coveting him.”

Kalian chuckled softly.

But he wasn’t greatly worried.

‘Whether it’s Lumern or Seirun, anywhere Leo Flobe can grow doesn’t matter.’

It might not be the proper attitude as a principal, but Kalian and Benite had lived too long to be concerned with mere schools.

They simply hoped that a talent worthy of entrusting the era to would be born as a true hero.

“So. What’s the reason you wanted to see me like this before Lusejeon?”

“Recently, the movements of the ‘Hero Hunters’ in the Northern Region have been unusual.”

Kalian’s eyes stirred.

Hero Hunters.

Those who betrayed the earthly realm and sided with Tartaros.

Among them were quite a few who had inherited the power of Hero Records.

Literally a group created by Tartaros to kill heroes.

“Of course, they don’t dare invade the elves’ territory, but they’re definitely a threat.”

“Wasn’t there such talk in the letter?”

When Kalian asked with furrowed brows, Benite let out a deep sigh.

“I wanted to meet and talk directly just in case. Letters and magical communications between Seirun and Lumern can easily be intercepted.”

“I see. So that’s why you requested hero mobilization from Lumern and called our heroes.”

Naturally, Seirun also had elf heroes.

Yet they had requested hero mobilization from Lumern as well.

The stated purpose was to check any possible movements from Tartaros, but he had thought mobilizing Lumern’s heroes as well might be a bit excessive.

But there was such a reason.

“Tell Lumern’s professors and heroes. There probably won’t be any trouble, but there’s always the possibility of that one in ten thousand.”

Lusejeon couldn’t be canceled.

Stopping the annual Lusejeon due to concerns about Tartaros or Hero Hunters could cause greater chaos and anxiety.

Benite thought it was better to concentrate forces to a degree that they wouldn’t dare attack.

Kalian nodded and looked up at the night sky.

Looking at the sky where countless stars seemed ready to pour down, Kalian let out a deep sigh.

‘I hope nothing happens.’
