24

The professors in charge of first-year classes this year had gathered in the Professors’ Lounge of the Hall of Beginnings.

It was a gathering for the professors to build camaraderie before the official start of the semester.

“This year’s freshmen seem to be excellent overall.”

“Ah. Come to think of it, the Knight Department has three valedictorians, doesn’t it?”

Professor Ren smiled at Professor Ain’s words.

“I’m envious. Magic Studies only has two valedictorians.”

“Are you making fun of the Summoning Department right now, Ren?”

Professor Yura frowned.

“Haha, of course not!”

“Which department will be superior is something we’ll only know once the semester starts. Just because someone is a valedictorian doesn’t mean they’ll always be the best student, right? And…”

Professor Ain paused and gently swirled his wine glass.

“Among this year’s valedictorians, there’s no class representative, is there?”

The professors nodded in agreement with those words.

Professor Ain took a sip of wine.

“Well, the class representative is also aiming for the Knight Department though.”

‘This year’s class will definitely have the Knight Department as the best.’

Professor Ain looked at the two teachers with a dismissive expression.

“My, my. You said we don’t know how things will turn out, but you seem quite confident, senior.”

‘You’re free to be mistaken, Senior Ain. That Leo student will be coming to our Magic Studies Department.’

Professor Ren burst into hearty laughter on the surface while smiling meaningfully inside.

“That’s right. You’re starting to get a bit annoying.”

‘How ridiculous. Leo Flobe is for the Summoning Department, you know? I can’t wait to see your expressions after you see the department application forms.’

Professor Yura snorted outwardly while sneering inwardly.

Just then, the assistants brought the department application forms.

“Professors, we’ve brought the department application forms. The assistants will sort them over the weekend.”

“Good work. Have some of this.”

The professors offered food and drinks to the assistants.

Meanwhile, Professor Ain, Professor Yura, and Professor Ren headed toward the Class 5 application forms.

‘Why are they following me to the Class 5 applications?’

‘Do they have a student they’re interested in?’

‘Why are these people acting like this?’

The three professors, who had been looking at each other with puzzled expressions, discovered Leo’s photo at the top of the Class 5 application documents.

And they couldn’t believe their eyes.

【Department Application Form】

Name: Leo Flobe.

Class: Class 5.

Applied Majors: Knight Studies, Magic Studies, Summoning Studies.

All three professors thought simultaneously.

‘What on earth is this situation?’

***

“You’re crazy! Crazy! Crazy!”

Smack- Smack- Smack-

“Why are you hitting me?”

In the park in front of the dormitory, Selia grabbed Leo and hit his back.

“You! The whole girls’ dormitory is talking about you now! All classes! What! They’re saying you said something ridiculous!”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? I bought all the textbooks and attended all the major classes during the temporary lessons.”

“You didn’t buy those as reference books, but to use as major textbooks?”

“Of course.”

“Aaah-! You systematically crazy bastard!”

Selia grabbed her hair and jumped around.

“Does taking all classes even make sense? If you treat department applications like a joke, which professor would look favorably on you!”

At Lumern, professors have tremendous authority.

Just getting on the bad side of another major’s professor would definitely mess up your school life.

The moment you get on a major professor’s bad side, expulsion becomes practically a foregone conclusion.

Moreover, major professors have strong pride in their specialties.

When you should be trying to look good, you’re playing around during the sacred department selection?

You’d have nothing to say even if you got on every major professor’s bad side.

Having finally entered Lumern and even become class representative, only to cause a major incident within a week, Selia’s heart was burning with anxiety.

But the person involved was acting like there was no problem, so she couldn’t help but be furious.

“You! Go to the faculty office right now and apologize to the professors!”

“No. I’m going to take all majors.”

“Why is this kid really acting like this? Does taking all classes even make sense!”

Leo showed his left palm to the excited Selia.

Aura seemed to flow out over his palm, then mana burst forth like flames above it.

Selia’s eyes widened at the sight.

But that wasn’t the end.

Finally, spiritual power enveloped Leo’s hand.

“You, you, you?”

“Mother and Father don’t know about this yet.”

Leo shrugged his shoulders after withdrawing his power.

Selia gaped with an expression of disbelief.

“The professors have all confirmed my abilities. They’ll know it’s absolutely not a joke.”

“What exactly are you?”

“What do you mean what am I.”

Leo grinned.

“I’m your cousin.”

***

“It’s unprecedented. Since Lumern’s founding, no. It would be the first including other hero academies.”

All classes.

It wasn’t that there had never been such a hero in the long history of the world.

However, that hero was now treated as a fictional hero in this world where the Hero Record, a history book of heroes, exists.

‘The fifth great hero, Kail.’

But an all-class hero like the one that existed only in fiction had appeared.

Professor Ain, Professor Yura, and Professor Ren had already met with Kalian and left.

The content of the meeting was that Leo needed to have a definite major.

The three professors passionately explained how remarkable Leo’s talent was.

“What should we do, Principal?”

“In this case, it would be right to do as the student wishes.”

Kalian smiled at secretary Erena’s question.

“Isn’t providing the education the student wants what a school should do?”

***

Weekends at Lumern are quite leisurely.

As much as the weekday academic schedule is intense, weekends thoroughly guarantee rest.

Since it’s free time, you can go out to Lumeria for fun, and if you want, you can even apply for overnight stays.

“Does it make sense to come to the training ground on such a beautiful weekend?”

When Cal grumbled, Chelsea said.

“I’m supposed to receive sword instruction from Leo today.”

Chelsea was wearing comfortable workout clothes.

Battle Mage.

It literally means a mage who can fight on the very front lines.

It was different from the dual-class magic swordsman.

While magic swordsmen use both aura and mana, Battle Mages only use mana.

They enhance their physical abilities with auxiliary magic and focus on learning high-speed casting and multi-casting anti-personnel magic.

If regular mages handle firepower from the rear, Battle Mages infiltrate the heart of enemy formations during emergencies to disrupt their ranks.

Skilled Battle Mages would fearlessly dive into chaotic battles and create countless variables.

Chelsea was deeply impressed by Leo, who had blocked Tallatonia during the entrance exam without even using aura.

Moreover, Chelsea was even more excited about Leo’s teachings.

‘Leo oppa was a magic swordsman.’

Since magic swordsmen and Battle Mages had many similarities, she thought receiving guidance from a magic swordsman would be more helpful than from a pure knight.

Selia, who had come along after hearing about training Chelsea, wore an indifferent expression.

“If you came here with light thoughts, I’d recommend quitting.”

“I’m being serious though?”

“Oh my? Well then, Leo’s training definitely won’t be easy.”

Just thinking about Chelsea, who had been her rival since childhood, suffering made her happy.

“By the way, Selia. What’s your relationship with Leo that you’re so close?”

Cal asked with a puzzled face.

Chelsea, who still didn’t know about their relationship, also perked up her ears.

“Don’t go spreading rumors. Leo and I are cousins.”

“What?”

“Eh? Leo oppa was from Jerdinger?”

“Not exactly from Jerdinger. The details are family matters, so please don’t ask.”

Selia said with a smile.

Knowing that noble families had complicated family circumstances, Chelsea and Cal decided not to pry further.

Leo spoke to Cal.

“Cal. Want to join us?”

“I am interested, but it’s a shame! I have to go to Lumeria in a bit!”

“Going to have fun?”

“No! Going to buy potion ingredients! The fatigue recovery potions are selling better than expected! Hahahaha!”

At those words, Selia tilted her head.

“I heard you were from an alchemist family, but you’re completely a merchant.”

“Alchemy requires a lot of money!”

Cal made a circle with his fingers and grinned.

“How about it? I could make you a cool magic sword or magic staff.”

“Can you make something cooler than our family heirlooms?”

“I’m sorry, I was mistaken.”

To discuss swords and staffs in front of a Renowned Hero Family.

He had gotten the wrong address by a long shot.

Selia chuckled quietly.

“Leo oppa, what should we start with?”

“Are you used to moving your body?”

“Of course. I have good stamina! My body is this flexible too!”

Chelsea raised her leg straight up in an I-shape like a ballerina.

It was a movement impossible without flexibility and balance.

Besides that, Chelsea hopped around showing Leo her light movements.

With such solid fundamentals, once she mastered being a Battle Mage, most Knight Department students clearly wouldn’t be a match for Chelsea in close combat.

‘There’s definitely a reason she aspires to be a Battle Mage.’

“I know someone who’s a Battle Mage.”

“Really?”

Chelsea’s eyes sparkled.

‘Not exactly a Battle Mage, but that concept didn’t exist back then.’

Luna, who moved at high speed and cast multiple spells even in chaotic battles, could be considered the originator of Battle Mages.

‘Well, she could be called the source of all modern mages, not just Battle Mages.’

Leo crossed his arms.

“Chelsea, what do you think is most important for a Battle Mage?”

“Huh? Um… let’s see… high-speed casting and multi-casting abilities, and martial arts skills?”

Watching Chelsea list things that differentiated them from regular mages, Leo said.

“No. The most important thing for a Battle Mage is.”

“The most important thing is?”

“Stamina.”

Selia, who had been sitting on the bench watching, quietly stood up.

“Cal, let’s go.”

“Huh? Where?”

“You said you were going to Lumeria.”

“There’s still time left. And weren’t you not going?”

“I think I need to go too because something urgent came up…”

“Selia. You’ll also be doing stamina training with me every weekend from now on.”

“I don’t want to!”

“I already wrote a letter to Uncle Jis. He said to definitely do that.”

“Why did you do such an unnecessary thing!”

Selia rushed at Leo, grabbed his collar, and shook him vigorously.

“Listen carefully, Chelsea.”

“Yeah.”

“A Battle Mage must be able to move endlessly. For that, you need steel-like stamina that never gets tired. Buff magic has its limits, so that alone isn’t enough.”

‘He’s saying the exact same thing as the Battle Mages in our family.’

Stamina training was also routine for the Battle Mages of the Rwallin Family.

“Anyway, Selia is destined to train with me.”

“I hate that kind of destiny!”

Selia wailed, but Leo didn’t listen at all.

“From the moment you agreed to train with me, I’ll do whatever it takes to make you a hero.”

“Yeah! Leo oppa! Let’s work hard together toward becoming heroes!”

Chelsea, who took Leo’s words simply as encouragement to work hard together, clenched her fist and answered.

“So you’ll train with me from now on?”

“Yeah!”

Later, Chelsea would think.

She should have run away then.
