212

The end of final exams that signals the end of the semester.

Normally when exams end, Lumern students are divided into two groups.

First. Students who feel a sense of liberation along with bittersweet feelings.

Second. Students trembling in fear about receiving a recommendation to withdraw.

But now the atmosphere at Lumern was different from usual.

Everyone faced the closing ceremony in a solemn atmosphere.

It was the same in Class 5.

The usual noisy atmosphere was nowhere to be found.

They were just quietly waiting for Hallind to enter the classroom.

Click-

The door opened and Hallind entered the classroom.

While all the students wore tense expressions, Associate Professor Sena brought in the report cards.

“Everyone worked hard for a whole year.”

Hallind looked over the students with his characteristically dry expression.

While the Class 5 students tensed under that gaze.

Hallind spoke.

“Some of you must already be prepared, right?”

At those words, students with poor grades in the class hung their heads low.

They had no choice.

In the first semester, miraculously all of Class 5 managed to survive.

But Lumern was originally a school where survival wasn’t easy.

In severe cases, sometimes less than half the students remained when advancing from first to second year.

Cal let out a groan and scratched his head vigorously.

“Is this the end?”

As he muttered bitterly with a wry smile, Hallind opened his mouth.

“Cal Thomas.”

“Yes, yes sir!”

Cal jumped up from his seat and stood at attention.

Seeing Cal swallow nervously with a tense expression, the Class 5 students looked sympathetic.

Cal had no students he wasn’t close to thanks to his natural affinity.

The Class 5 students couldn’t help but feel bad about such a Cal leaving school.

“This guy didn’t receive a recommendation to withdraw. You all know what this means, right?”

Cal blinked his eyes.

When the Class 5 students who momentarily didn’t understand also wore blank expressions, Sena smiled gently and said.

“Our entire class will be advancing to second year.”

“R-really?”

“Is that really true?!”

“Wooooooo!”

Surprised reactions burst out from all over Class 5.

Such reactions could be heard not just from Class 5 but from the entire 1st-Year Classroom Building.

Tap- Tap-

When Hallind lightly tapped the podium, the Class 5 students instantly sat up straight.

“Know that you’re lucky. The Lumern Professor’s Meeting decided to advance all grades this time.”

At those words, Iliana raised her hand.

“Is there any special reason for making that decision?”

“The professors highly valued the experience you all would have gained from this Lusejeon incident.”

The moment they heard those words, the faces of the Class 5 students hardened.

The Monster Queen’s invasion and Jerdiak’s return.

It was an incident that could barely be concluded with victory because the Great Heroes appeared along with Jerdiak.

But if the Great Heroes hadn’t appeared, not a single person would have survived.

“In addition to that, finishing the academic schedule a month early this semester is also significant.”

It was as Hallind said.

Lumern finished its academic schedule a month early and welcomed vacation.

“Don’t think of vacation as simply time to rest, but use it as a period to grow further.”

With those words, Hallind distributed report cards and parent communication letters to his students.

“Then let’s conclude the first year second semester with this.”

Hallind spoke indifferently to the Class 5 students.

“Congratulations to everyone on advancing to second year.”

“Professor Hallind…”

“Without your guidance, we wouldn’t have been able to advance to second year!”

“Thank you!”

All of Class 5 sincerely expressed their gratitude to Hallind.

When Hallind first became their homeroom professor, many students despaired.

They had no choice.

Hallind, called the Lumerne Wall of Lamentations and known for giving the most withdrawal recommendations, was terror itself.

But looking back, it was because of Hallind’s guidance that they achieved better grades and survived.

At his students’ reaction, Hallind chuckled and left the classroom.

Sena, who remained in the classroom, spoke regretfully.

“I’d like to have an after-party with all you students, but the situation doesn’t allow it. Everyone worked hard for a whole year.”

“Associate Professor Sena!”

“Won’t you be in charge of second year?”

The female students flocked around Sena.

Unlike the scary Hallind, Sena was like an older sister to the Class 5 students.

There were quite a few students who would have had a hard time enduring without her smoothing over the atmosphere in between.

Seeing students with reddened eyes, Sena smiled bitterly.

“Nothing’s been decided yet.”

Comforting the students, Sena spoke brightly.

“Anyway, congratulations to everyone on advancing to second year! From next year, underclassmen will be coming in, so you’ll have to become more proper students, okay?”

***

The semester had ended.

Lumeria City, which would normally be bustling, was quiet.

Lumern and Lumeria City still hadn’t recovered from Kalian’s death.

In the midst of this, Leo headed to the Warp Gate with his friends.

“It was fun for a year, but we’ll all be scattered in second year.”

Iliana clicked her tongue with a regretful expression.

Seeing such Iliana, Cal put his arm behind his head and said.

“But we’ll still see each other in department classes, right? From second year, department classes become more important too.”

Cal was right.

In first year, class-based lessons are emphasized, but from second year, department classes are emphasized in earnest.

“But we won’t be able to hang out by class like now.”

“Even if our classes are different, we can hang out often.”

At Nella’s words, Taide nodded.

“Right. Not a single person left the school.”

Chatting enjoyably with each other, they arrived at the Warp Gate.

“Well then, have a good vacation.”

“See everyone after the semester ends~”

“Or should we meet once during this vacation?”

“Should we?”

Chatting enjoyably, each boarded the Warp Gate heading to their respective homes.

Leo and Chelsea, heading to the western region, made their way to the warp gate that led west.

“Are you going straight home, Leo?”

At that question, Leo shook his head.

“No. This time I decided to go to the Rodren Empire.”

At Leo’s words, Chelsea’s eyes widened and she smiled brightly.

“Wow! Then we can do homework together!”

“Well. I’m visiting my maternal family, so I’m not sure if I’ll have time.”

“Ah.”

At Leo’s words, Chelsea let out an exclamation and made a disappointed expression.

Leo’s maternal family was Jerdinger.

While they got along casually at the Academy, within the Rodren Empire, Jerdinger and Rwallin were competitors.

“Still, if I get the chance, I’ll stop by the Rwallin Family too.”

“Yeah!”

At Leo’s words, Chelsea nodded and looked delighted.

“You came?”

At the warp gate, Selia and Avad were waiting.

Leo stood beside Selia while Chelsea headed toward Avad.

Avad, who had already heard from Selia that Leo was coming to the Rodren Empire, smiled and greeted Leo.

“Let’s meet if we can during the break.”

“Chelsea and I were just talking about that.”

When Leo chuckled and spoke, Avad nodded.

“Then we’ll go first.”

“Leo~ Take care! And Selia… bleh!”

Chelsea waved brightly at Leo with a big smile, but stuck her tongue out at Selia.

Watching them disappear in the warp with bright light, Selia said,

“I need to find a chance to give her a good flick on the forehead.”

“What if you end up in the same class next year?”

“Could you please not say such horrible things?”

At Leo’s words, Selia rolled her eyes.

Leo burst into laughter at that sight and stepped onto the warp gate.

“Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

The two stepped onto the warp gate.

As the mages set the warp gate coordinates and activated their mana, bright light burst forth.

A moment later.

Bright light obscured their vision.

When the light faded, they had arrived at the Jerdinger Family’s warp gate.

A family’s warp gate.

Befitting the warp gate of the Jerdinger Family, one of the two pillars of Rodren, the western hegemon, the interior of the warp gate was incredibly magnificent.

Leo let out an exclamation of admiration as he looked at the knight statues made of marble.

After looking around for a while, Leo saw the Phoenix carved on the ceiling and said,

“This is much more splendid than our country’s capital warp gate.”

“This place is another main entrance of Jerdinger.”

Selia smiled proudly as she watched her surprised cousin.

When they came down from the warp gate and went outside, knights were waiting.

“Welcome! Miss Selia! Congratulations on advancing to 2nd year!”

“Congratulations!”

The knights who came to greet Selia congratulated her in unison.

At their reaction, Selia brushed back her hair and said calmly,

“Is that something to congratulate me for?”

While other students would genuinely be happy about it, Selia showed no such sign.

In a way, it was natural.

Selia was renowned as a genius carefully watched not only by the Rodren Empire but by the entire continent.

For her, advancing to 2nd year was a very natural thing.

“Don’t make such a fuss.”

At Selia’s words, the knights bowed their heads.

In the meantime, everyone’s gaze turned to Leo.

“But Miss, who is the person beside you…?”

At that question, Selia glanced at Leo and said calmly,

“Leo Flobe. My cousin. You all know him, right?”

“Huh?”

“Young Master Leo?”

The knights looked surprised.

At their reaction, Leo made a puzzled expression.

“What? You kept singing about spending the first month of vacation at Jerdinger, but you didn’t tell them I was coming?”

At Leo’s question, Selia giggled.

“Yeah. I didn’t tell them because I wanted to surprise everyone.”

Leo chuckled as he watched his cousin speak mischievously.

Selia got into the waiting carriage as if it were natural.

Leo also followed Selia and got into the carriage.

The carriage carrying the two began to move.

The carriage led by griffins quickly crossed through the Jerdinger main residence.

Leo admired the scenery passing by quickly outside.

“I can’t see the end.”

The place Leo and Selia came to was Jerdinger’s main residence.

In other words, Jerdinger’s territory.

As it was also a ducal house of Rodren, the territory was vast.

But even so, he couldn’t see the end of the main residence grounds.

At Leo’s words, Selia laughed softly.

“Our family’s manor grounds are probably several times larger than your country’s royal palace?”

At those words, Leo rested his chin on his hand.

“Rich people are rich indeed.”

“You’re probably the only one who would treat Jerdinger as simply a rich family.”

Selia shook her head with an incredulous expression.

The carriage led by griffins ran quickly and arrived at Jerdinger’s main estate.

Looking up at the massive Jerdinger Castle, Leo was amazed once again.

The ancient castle was clearly a fortress at first glance.

‘This is incredible?’

It was when Leo was being surprised.

Having received word from the main residence, far more people than could be compared to the warp gate were standing in front of the main estate.

Among them stood Jis, the deputy head of Jerdinger, with what appeared to be elders lined up beside him.

Leo and Selia got off the carriage and approached Jis.

Jis spoke to Selia, who came before him, as if scolding her.

“Couldn’t you have given us a heads up that you were coming with Leo?”

“I wanted to surprise you.”

Selia giggled mischievously.

Seeing that, Jis let out a hollow laugh, shook his head, and looked at Leo.

“Welcome to Jerdinger, Leo.”

“Thank you for the welcome. But aren’t you greeting me too grandly?”

At Leo’s words, Jis smiled.

“This is your first visit since being recognized as a direct heir of Jerdinger. Normally, we should have prepared a more grand reception.”

“I didn’t mention it because I knew you wouldn’t like that sort of thing.”

Selia said, patting Leo’s shoulder.

“What about Father?”

“Brother has gone to the Capital. He’ll return this evening.”

Selia nodded at those words.

“Then there’s something we need to take care of before Brother returns.”

Jis glanced at Leo.

“Leo.”

“Yes, Uncle Jis.”

“I’m sorry, but even though you’ve just arrived at the Manor, it seems we need to have a rather complicated discussion.”

“What kind of discussion?”

Seeing Leo’s puzzled expression, Jis spoke.

“A discussion about inheritance.”
