“This is troublesome.”

Chloe, who always carried a grimoire tucked under her arm, scratched her cheek.

“I’ve suddenly been given too big a task.”

“Tell me about it.”

Leo clicked his tongue in the empty dormitory lounge.

Leo and Chloe had arrived first at the dormitory where they would be living from now on.

The dormitory building had nothing except basic furniture.

‘Are they telling us to decorate it according to our tastes from now on?’

“Chloe, what kind of students do you want to focus on accepting?”

The dormitory heads held the authority over personnel decisions.

They would have to live together in the dormitory for the next year.

Moreover, the competition would also be between dormitories.

No matter how he looked at it, this would inevitably affect their ‘grades.’

“Well.”

Chloe tilted her head slightly and rolled her eyes around before speaking.

“To be honest, I want to create a dormitory focused mainly on Magic Studies Department students.”

Chloe was one of the top students in the Magic Studies Department.

She was skilled in magical theory and was the fastest student to absorb the latest magical techniques and theories.

If Leo, Avad, and Chelsea were practical mages, then Chloe was academic.

She was literally like the orthodox lineage of mages.

‘Luna would have liked her if she had seen her.’

“Leo, what do you think?”

“I understand your idea of wanting to select dormitory members mainly from Magic Studies Department students.”

It wasn’t simply because she was a mage.

Chloe was well-regarded within the Magic Studies Department.

Whenever a fellow student asked about something they didn’t know, she would always kindly teach them.

Because of this, there were many students who followed her without realizing it.

Since she had good relationships with her peers, she also understood well the tendencies of most Magic Studies Department students.

Since she had been appointed as a dormitory head who needed to lead the dormitory to harmony, she had to exclude students who might cause trouble as much as possible.

“What about you, Leo?”

“I don’t mind whichever department becomes the focus.”

“That’s right, you’re taking all classes.”

Leo was attending classes from all departments.

“However, it’s difficult to decide right now. Chen Xia isn’t here.”

“Come to think of it, why didn’t Sia come?”

“It must be family matters. Anyway, it would be good to balance the departments when selecting dormitory members.”

Chloe nodded at Leo’s words.

If they had tried to operate a department-focused dormitory, it would have been easier to select dormitory heads grouped by department.

Although there were some students who weren’t like this, most students recognized the top-tier students from each department as leaders who guided their departments.

The school had mixed honor students from each department into different dormitories.

‘We don’t have a summoner in our dormitory, but… Leo is Phoenix’s contractor.’

He could be considered the student representing Summoning Studies.

What this meant was simple.

From now on, it would be advantageous for department life if the departments worked together.

Anyway, the basic framework of Lumern’s department life was competition between students.

Students who couldn’t survive had to leave the school.

“We only have a week. Let’s narrow down the candidates first. We can’t hear Sia’s opinion, but that can’t be helped.”

“Yeah.”

Chloe nodded at Leo’s words.

Chloe paused while taking out paper and pen from subspace to organize things.

‘Come to think of it, we’re alone together right now.’

In the spacious dormitory, there were only Leo and Chloe right now.

All the other students were waiting in the existing dormitory buildings.

Feeling her heart beating somehow, Chloe cleared her throat with a “Hmm hmm!”

“Still, it’s fortunate. Leo. You roughly know about the tendencies of Knight Department students, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Still, I’d like to select mainly Magic Studies Department students first.”

“That would be good. Who would be good?”

“Hmm. First, I’d like Cal.”

“Cal? I also thought it would be good to have Cal in the same dormitory, but it’s surprising that you picked Cal first.”

Cal had the lowest grades and combat skills not only in the Magic Studies Department but in all grades.

Even so, Chloe picked Cal first.

“Cal’s information network will be very crucial for our future department life.”

When it comes to exams or matters within the department, Cal is the first to find out about them.

He has very smooth relationships with all the faculty and staff, and has connections with seniors regardless of department or grade.

“Cal’s qualities in that regard are certainly excellent.”

Leo was the student council president, but he had left the practical work to the seniors.

Moreover, even with the student council’s power, finding out about department schedules wasn’t easy.

In the end, Cal’s information network would definitely be a very necessary asset for 2nd year department life.

“Moreover, his alchemy skills are very outstanding.”

It’s a buried fact because Lumern tends to give high scores to combat-oriented subjects, but Cal’s alchemy skills are definitely top-tier.

“Since he aims to be a supporter, he gets along well with anyone he teams up with. I think he’s a very necessary talent for organizational composition.”

‘She’s grown.’

Leo chuckled.

Even until their first year, Chloe had been somewhat rigid.

But over the past year, Chloe’s way of thinking had become very flexible.

After that, Leo and Chloe continued to discuss the department members.

They talked until past midnight.

“Mmm-!”

Chloe stretched.

“I guess this roughly determines our dormitory’s character?”

Leo and Chloe had collaboratively created a dormitory member composition that could produce the best synergy.

“Didn’t too many of my opinions get included?”

Leo chuckled at Chloe’s question.

“I also thought that composition was good.”

“…You’re not trying to dump the dormitory head duties on me because it’s bothersome, are you?”

“That’s part of it too.”

At Leo’s words, Chloe threw a sofa cushion with a whoosh!

Leo, who caught the cushion with his face, got up from his seat.

“It’s late. Let’s go.”

Leo and Chloe left the dormitory and headed to the existing 2nd Year Dormitory building.

Since the male and female dormitories were separated, they went their separate ways.

-You’re trying to dump department work on others again like with student council work, aren’t you?

-That’s right! Your ulterior motive is obvious.

-Peep!

Led by Elsi, Kirran and Fiora revealed themselves.

-Master is a great hero! You’re busy with many things besides department life!

Ati, who had manifested in the form of a small girl, lay down prostrate in front of Leo.

“…Why are you blocking my path?”

-Please step on me as you go!

“Your demands are getting more and more outrageous.”

As Leo spoke coldly and walked away, Ati clutched her heart on the ground.

-Gasp! That look in his eyes! And that cold attitude of abandoning me without mercy! So cool…!

-Are you really a pegasus?

-Of course I am.

At Kirran’s question, Ati sprang up from her spot and followed Leo with a bright smile.

Due to the Lusejeon incident, Leo’s summoned creatures learned that Leo was the great hero Kail.

‘I’m a bit worried that Fiora and Kirran might go around blabbing… but for now, Ati is keeping them in line well.’

Though her behavior was undeniably perverted, Ati was an experienced spirit beast who was keeping the still young Fiora and Kirran well in check.

When they returned to the dormitory late at night, the male students waiting on the first floor said:

“You’re the latest.”

“Well, your dormitory group probably gets along the best anyway.”

When Julliden, ranked 3rd in the Summoning Department, said with a bitter smile, Leo asked:

“What happened with the other guys?”

“Woreden came back just 30 minutes after going to the meeting. Then Duran came. And Avad returned a bit later. Except for you, it seems like everyone’s talks didn’t go well.”

Julliden shrugged his shoulders.

Leo went to his temporary room and lay on the bed, lost in thought.

‘As expected, coming back to the academy is hectic.’

He stared at the ceiling, deep in thought.

‘During the entrance exam… that was definitely Erebos.’

The end of the entrance exam.

He recalled the eyes of Erebos he had met in the Heroes’ World.

‘But it wasn’t a fragment of Erebos that was supposed to be sealed in Hero Record.’

Leo’s eyes narrowed.

‘It was probably a lingering thought drifting around that place.’

The entrance exam location was coincidentally the site of the final battle between Kail and Erebos.

In that case, it wouldn’t be strange for powerful lingering thoughts to remain there.

It was originally a place that became monster territory due to Erebos’s influence anyway.

‘I should visit there once if I get the chance, and…’

Leo looked at his right wrist.

There was Polium, the staff that could be called Luna’s symbol.

Now it was nothing but a fake with only its outer appearance remaining.

‘I’ve used up all the divine power that Pibua gave me.’

Leo let out a deep sigh.

It was the gods who created Hero Record.

He didn’t know if using divine power could cause another miracle like Lusejeon.

‘It’s the same concept as how Jerdiak crossed over in the first place.’

In Jerdiak’s case, it crossed over to the present world through Erebos.

But now on earth, the gods had vanished without a trace.

‘Conquering past heroes to increase my strength might be one method.’

In the first place, to conquer worlds related to the gods, there was no answer other than the worlds of great heroes.

‘Moreover, Luna’s World where I met Pibua was already severely damaged.’

Even if the Heroes’ World was implemented, it was uncertain whether he could meet Pibua like before.

‘For now, I should visit Seirun again to confirm.’

Leo looked out the window while thinking about his future schedule.

‘First priority should be the dormitory member selection.’

Tartaros was also quiet for now.

‘I should sleep now.’

Closing his eyes, Leo fell into a deep sleep.

***

The next morning.

Leo and Chloe headed to the cafeteria together.

From the morning, 2nd year students flocked around Leo and Chloe.

“Leo, Chloe! Please pick me!”

“Pick me instead of this guy…!”

“No! Me! Me!”

Chloe panicked and tried to calm down her classmates.

“F-first, calm down. We’ve roughly decided on the members. So we can’t pick you just because you’re making a fuss like this.”

“I’m included, right?”

“Then announce it now!”

Seeing her classmates becoming even more rowdy instead of calming down, Chloe let out a small sigh.

Then she opened her mouth.

“Everyone be quiet.”

Swoosh-

Everyone froze at the ice-cold voice.

“The dormitory talk is after breakfast.”

“Y-yes!”

“Got it.”

The students scattered while reading the mood.

Watching this, Chloe relaxed the intensity in her eyes and blushed when she saw Leo looking at her with admiration.

“Wh-what? What’s with that look?”

“Nothing. I wondered why you were called the Ice Princess, but now I see why you got that nickname.”

“Don’t tease me with a nickname the kids made up on their own.”

“As you command, Ice Princess.”

“You really!”

Chloe swung her magic book at Leo who was teasing her.

“Good morning! What a nice sight in the morning! I heard you came in late yesterday? Hehe~ Having a fun time alone together late at night…”

Watching this, Cal gave a sly morning greeting.

Chloe’s magic book immediately changed targets and struck Cal’s temple.

Looking at Chloe with her shoulders heaving and her face red, and Cal writhing on the floor, Leo shook his head and said:

“Cal. Have you decided which dormitory you’re going to?”

“Heh. I don’t care where I go!”

He sprang up from his spot and tried to act cool.

“You’re bleeding from your head.”

“Huh?”

Cal panicked and pulled out a potion from his pocket to apply it.

Cal, who barely stopped the bleeding, said:

“I don’t care which dormitory I go to, but if possible, it would be better to be in the same dormitory as you, Leo.”

Cal pointed to one side.

There, Selia and Chelsea were growling at each other, and Woreden was eating his meal as if uninterested.

“That place is too hostile.”

This time he pointed to the opposite side.

There, Duran and Eliza were looking at each other coldly.

“That side is too cold.”

Watching Cal express an opinion not much different from other students, Chloe smiled slightly.

“Then that works out well. Come to our dormitory.”

“Oh! Really?”

Just as Cal was making a bright expression:

“Sorry, but.”

Someone interrupted the conversation.

Avad, wearing a gentle smile, reached out and placed his hand on Cal’s shoulder.

“Cal, you’re in our dormitory.”

“Huh?”

Cal made a surprised expression.

Chloe also furrowed her brow.

“I went to see Professor Sedjen last evening and registered you in our dormitory.”

“Without my consent?”

When Cal asked in confusion, Avad nodded.

“Professor Sedjen said so. That designated students have no right to refuse.”

Chloe’s eyes widened and Leo narrowed his eyes.

‘Indeed, they’re planning to start a competition between dormitory heads.’

Of course, that didn’t mean they could just put anyone in.

Forcibly registering students in dormitories without asking their opinion could potentially break the teamwork between dormitories if done wrong.

After all, they had to live together in the dormitory for a year.

Even with authority, using that authority carelessly wasn’t a very wise choice.

But Cal’s case was different.

He was flexible-minded and had good social skills, so any dormitory would be fine.

That’s why Avad didn’t hesitate to register Cal as a dormitory member.

‘I’m a step too late.’

It was when Leo was clicking his tongue inwardly.

“Wait! Wait! I’m grateful you think highly of me, but can you really do that on your own? I don’t want to get on those two people’s bad side?!”

Cal screamed.

He knew well that Duran and Eliza, who had the strongest elitist tendencies among the first years, wouldn’t be pleased with Cal, who was at the bottom of the grade.

At Cal’s outcry, Avad smiled broadly.

“Don’t worry about that. Those two also agreed to accept you.”

“What?”

“Our dormitory heads may not get along, but we share the same goal.”

“What’s that goal?”

At Cal’s question, Avad smiled broadly and looked at Leo.

“Defeat Leo Flobe.”
