“It seems like simple illusion magic, but Chloe Muller couldn’t handle it?”

“Simple? Did you just say simple? Professor Ain?”

Ren asked with a trembling voice.

“Isn’t it?”

“It is simple! The magic Leo used isn’t difficult in terms of the spell itself! But that’s not human magic—it’s elven magic!”

Ren hugged himself and shouted out loud.

“Other races’ magic systems are fundamentally different from humans’! You can’t just use it because you understand the spell structure! It’s a realm of talent and sense that can’t be achieved through effort alone! Leo has that! God must have sent Leo for the Magic Studies Department!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Ren Horses. Leo Flobe is applying for the Knight Department, isn’t he?”

“It seems your small brain can’t understand properly, so let me explain again.”

“I understand perfectly. That you want to die.”

Ain smiled coldly and grabbed Ren by the collar, but he didn’t care and began giving a speech about Leo’s magical talent.

The Class 5 students holding hands rejoiced.

In terms of objective power, Class 1 had complete superiority, and the match was overwhelming too.

But the result was Class 5’s victory.

Selia gritted her teeth and Duran twisted his face terribly.

Chloe, who had collapsed to the ground, couldn’t even think of getting up and wore a blank expression.

“You need to get up, Chloe.”

“P-Professor.”

“When a match ends, you must greet each other regardless of the result.”

Sedjen gently patted Chloe’s shoulder and gathered both teams in the center.

“Everyone worked hard. Class 5 students, return to Hallind and discuss today’s match!”

Professor Sedjen turned his gaze to the Class 1 students who were hanging their heads low.

The Class 1 students tensed up.

Professor Sedjen was famous for his elitism.

All the students he supervised were excellent and famous for always achieving outstanding results in various academy events.

But they had lost to Class 5, the worst class in their grade.

The Class 1 students thought Professor Sedjen would be angry.

“Elegance! All students who participated in today’s match worked hard! I’m so happy that you showed such excellent performances!”

Contrary to expectations, Sedjen praised the students.

“Selia knows her strengths well as always! Overwhelming destructive power! That’s exactly the advantage of one who handles flame aura! But you need to build up your stamina a bit more!”

Starting with Selia, Professor Sedjen explained the praiseworthy points and areas for improvement for the Class 1 students in today’s match.

“Duran’s quick movements were impressive as always! Your movements had no unnecessary parts! But it would be better if you found a way to increase your instantaneous destructive power! Lightning is also an attribute with powerful destructive force!”

Sedjen’s gaze, as he sincerely advised each student one by one, finally turned to Chloe.

Chloe’s neck shrank.

Today’s defeat was undoubtedly caused by her failure to stop Leo.

“Chloe was perfect! There was nothing to criticize!”

“B-But we lost the match because of me?”

“It wasn’t because of you, Chloe. And we didn’t really lose either. The match result was certainly a defeat, but I don’t think our Class 1 lost to Class 5 at all.”

Professor Sedjen smiled gently.

“Our Class 1 dominated the match. And the match time was only 20 minutes. Class 5’s teamwork was impressive, but if we had more time, we definitely would have made a comeback!”

Professor Sedjen patted Chloe’s shoulder.

“And your failure to stop Leo at the end was because he caught us completely off guard. No matter which first-year student it was, they wouldn’t have been able to stop Leo. I guarantee it!”

Having said that, Professor Sedjen pointed to the sky with his finger.

“Everyone! Raise your heads! And look up! The fact that our Class 1 is the most elegant remains unchanged!”

“Professor!”

“Waaaah! We respect you!”

The Class 1 students were moved and praised Professor Sedjen.

The Class 1 students were mistaken due to Sedjen’s reputation and achievements.

He wasn’t a professor who only wanted excellent students.

Rather, he was a famous professor who valued the teacher-student relationship and never gave up on the students he supervised.

The reason he took charge of Class 1 wasn’t because the class had a high average score, but simply because he liked the number 1 in Class 1.

Just as Class 1 was creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

“Professor Sedjen.”

“Leo. The strategy you showed in today’s match was amazing. By the way, what’s the matter?”

“Professor Hallind told me to go buy drinks right now. And he said to start cleaning the bathroom from today?”

At Leo’s words, Class 1’s atmosphere plummeted again and Sedjen’s lips trembled.

“Huh? Professor Sedjen! Professor Ain and Professor Ren are fighting!”

Just then, Howl from Class 1 was shocked seeing the bitter cold aura and magic colliding in the middle of the training ground.

“Howl.”

“Yes?”

“Could you take your friends and buy drinks from the cafe? Hallind will handle Professor Ain and Professor Ren.”

As he said, Professor Hallind was already approaching the two professors.

Howl nodded absentmindedly and headed to the campus cafe with his close friends.

Leo annoyingly added an extra order to Howl.

“The most expensive ones.”

“Ugh!”

Sedjen felt his neck muscles tighten.

‘Next time we’ll definitely win! Class Fiiiiive!!’

A month had passed since the first-years entered Lumern.

That time was sufficient for the students to adapt to Lumern.

“Yaaawn! Good morning.”

Cal sat down with a long yawn.

“Did you work late again yesterday?”

When Chelsea asked while eating the spaghetti served for breakfast in the school cafeteria, Cal scratched his head.

“Well. The demand for fatigue recovery potions keeps increasing day by day.”

Although Cal was definitely in the bottom tier among first-years in combat-related abilities, he was a mid-to-upper tier student in alchemy and support magic.

His homeroom professor Hallind had been positively evaluating Cal, who had set his career direction as a professional supporter from the time of admission.

Moreover, his business was thriving.

He had been promoting since the entrance ceremony, and when the valedictorians often used Cal’s fatigue recovery potions, they sold like hotcakes.

One reason for the prosperity was that many students thought it was better to buy potions rather than make them themselves, since potions were surprisingly labor-intensive items.

“Well, it would be nice if they bought other items too.”

Cal looked at his other business items with a regretful expression.

But he had established himself faster than expected, so he wasn’t particularly dissatisfied.

Leo said while chewing steak from the morning.

“By the way, did you hear the rumor?”

“What rumor?”

“The seniors who went on dungeon conquest missions are returning?”

At those words, Cal’s eyes lit up.

“I heard! I heard! According to rumors, three teams are returning?”

The hero dungeon conquerors who were tasked with conquering hero dungeons and recovering hero pages often left the school.

Especially this time, three teams had departed, so all the students considered the strongest in the school were away.

Since they hadn’t met the particularly famous named students at Lumern yet, there was a very regretful atmosphere among the first-years.

Chelsea said while rolling spaghetti with her fork and putting it in her mouth.

“I heard that the next Heroes Studies class will use the Hero Record pages recovered this time as teaching materials?”

“Really? We’re entering the Heroes’ World already? I thought it would be at least the midterm practical exam?”

Cal got excited.

“That’s not it. I heard there are damaged pages mixed in among the pages recovered this time. We’ll have a class where we deduce the hero from those pages.”

“Aw, what’s that about.”

“What’s with that reaction? Getting to see a lost Hero Record is an incredible thing, you know?”

Chelsea said with sparkling eyes.

She loved heroic tales so much that she had a hobby of researching heroes’ anecdotes.

“Come to think of it, the club promotion period is starting soon, right?”

Cal stroked his chin.

Club recruitment was scheduled to begin for first-year students who had gotten used to school life.

“Do you guys have any clubs in mind? I’m thinking of joining a business club.”

“I’m thinking of joining the music club. I learned it as part of my upbringing in my family since I was young.”

“Wow~ That’s such a noble lady-like hobby. What about you, Leo?”

“I’m thinking of creating a club.”

“What?”

“You’re going to create a club?”

“Yeah.”

When the class representative said he was going to create a club, Chelsea and Cal became interested.

“What kind of club are you going to make?”

“Hero Research Club.”

“Hero Research Club? Sounds like it’s related to academics.”

Cal showed a negative reaction.

“Usually clubs are for relieving stress from school life, but would people want to join a club related to academics?”

Chelsea also shook her head negatively.

“It’s not related to academics at all. We’ll be researching forgotten heroes.”

When Leo smiled gently, Cal asked.

“For example?”

“Kail, the Hero of Beginnings.”

His dark intention was to promote his own achievements in Lumern.

“Kail? That’s not forgotten, that’s a fictional character, isn’t it? If it’s too far-fetched, it’ll be even less popular, won’t it?”

“Still, it would be interesting! Kail isn’t registered in the Hero Record so he’s treated as a fictional character! But he’s actually such a famous hero, right? He’s not even a historical hero, but is it possible to build that level of recognition? Maybe Kail’s Hero Record just hasn’t been discovered yet!”

Chelsea, who loved heroic tales, excitedly chattered.

“Chelsea.”

“Yeah?”

“You’re kind.”

Leo, who had never met someone so positive about himself in his life, smiled gently and patted Chelsea’s head.

Chelsea was confused by Leo’s sudden action but soon giggled and leaned into Leo’s touch.

Cal laughed watching them.

“Your dreams are too big. Kail is definitely a fake hero anyway, right? How about Dweno instead? The great blacksmith and advisor to the great hero party! Definitely better than something like Kail, a real hero… Ugh! Ugh?! Cough?”

“Cal. You might choke if you only eat bread.”

“Uuuuuugh! Cough! (What kind of person feeds someone bread while saying that!)”

“Hm? You want to eat more?”

“Mmmmmmmm! (Nooooooo!)”

Leo kindly stuffed the bread from the table into his friend’s mouth.

***

Morning classes ended and it was lunchtime.

Students poured out of the classrooms.

Leo was organizing his textbooks and about to get up from his seat.

“Leo.”

“Yeah?”

Selia entered Class 5 and stood in front of Leo.

“What? Selia. Why are you coming to someone else’s class?”

When Chelsea asked with furrowed brows, Selia said calmly.

“I came because I have business with Leo. You don’t have any separate plans for lunch today, right?”

“I don’t.”

“Then eat with me.”

“Why?”

“The student council president wants to see you.”
