30.

“This is my first time coming to Lumeria since enrollment.”

As Leo spoke while getting off the regular ferry that travels between Lumern and Lumeria, Selia nodded.

“Me too. I’ve been busier than expected, so I haven’t had a chance to come out.”

Although many Lumern students come to Lumeria every weekend, there weren’t many first-year students who regularly visited Lumeria yet.

The reason was that they still weren’t accustomed to their academic schedule.

Leo tugged at his uniform collar.

“Isn’t it quite a strict school rule to have to wear uniforms even when coming to Lumeria?”

“I don’t mind. Our academy uniform has a good design, and being a Lumern student itself is a tremendous honor.”

Selia shrugged her shoulders.

“And the reason for such a rule is to tell us not to do stupid things in Lumeria. If you’re wearing the uniform, the school will immediately know who did something foolish. That’s why I heard it’s a rule that many students break. Of course, the moment you get caught by a professor.”

Selia made a gesture of slitting her throat with her hand.

“It would be ‘eek-‘ but still.”

As she said, there were quite a few students walking around Lumeria in casual clothes, and quite a few students getting caught by professors.

“By the way, why did the student council president want to see you and me?”

It was quite strange for the student council president who was on assignment to want to meet outside.

But Selia made an incredulous expression at that question.

“Are you really asking because you don’t know?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know.”

“Don’t you know who the student council president is?”

“I don’t know?”

Hearing Leo’s answer, Selia let out a deep sigh.

As they entered Kurazhu Street, the bustling district, Selia said.

“Student council president Ris oppa is the heir of our family! So he’s your cousin!”

“Really? My cousin was the student council president?”

“Really? Really? How can you not know Ris oppa? He’s Lumern’s top student and the heir of our family!”

“It’s possible not to know.”

Watching Leo shrug his shoulders as if it was no big deal, Selia grabbed her head.

While they were talking, they arrived at the dormitory where they had stayed before the entrance ceremony.

Jingle- Jingle-

As they opened the door and entered, a bell rang.

“Welcome! Ah, you’re students from Lumern! Are you planning to stay for the weekend?”

When the employee asked with a bright smile, Selia said.

“Ris Jerdinger is staying here, right?”

“You mean Mr. Ris Jerdinger? Yes. He’s staying here. Are you his companions? Or do you have a separate appointment?”

As the heir of Jerdinger and Lumern’s student council president, he was quite a famous figure.

There were many people who came looking for him recklessly to make connections with Ris.

The hotel employee had seen many such situations, so they showed wariness.

As an employee of a luxury hotel, they had a duty to provide guests with the best resting space.

“I am…”

“Oh? Who is this! Isn’t this Selia?”

At that moment, someone in the first-floor lobby recognized them.

An Eastern man with black hair and eyes approached with a bright smile.

“Senior Jamua. It’s been a while.”

Selia greeted him with proper posture.

Li Jamuah.

He was a fifth-year student at Lumern.

“Haha! Isn’t that too formal between us?”

Li Jamuah laughed heartily.

“Miss employee. These are our guests.”

“Ah, I apologize.”

“Not at all. Let’s go inside.”

Waving his hand dismissively, Li Jamuah guided Selia and Leo inside.

“By the way, who is this?”

“This is Leo Flobe. He’s my cousin.”

“Oh? So you’re that famous first-year representative?”

Jamua’s eyes lit up.

An all-class ability user.

That fact alone was enough of an issue to surprise the entire school beyond just the grade level.

Even in Lumern’s history, where only students with exceptional talents enroll, an all-class ability user was unprecedented.

In fact, there were still some students and professors who considered Leo a fraud.

‘Well, even in my previous life, people used to look at all-class users with curious eyes.’

Leo, who understood well why people were skeptical, just accepted it.

“You seem like an outstanding knight.”

Jamua, who had been looking at Leo, grinned.

“Ris is waiting. Let’s go up.”

Walking ahead, he straightened his shoulders wide.

“Magic is good and summoning is good! But what’s best of all is this body!”

Jamua hit his chest with his fist.

“If you support magic and summoning while honing your swordsmanship, you’ll probably become a great knight!”

At those words, Selia nodded.

“Right. Leo, you seem to be neglecting swordsmanship too much lately.”

“Oh no! That won’t do! You can’t become a fine knight if you neglect training.”

“Really? Selia. How about we raise our training intensity a bit?”

Selia, who had brought it up unnecessarily and got it thrown back at her, avoided Leo’s gaze.

Jamua, who didn’t know the situation, thought Leo was enthusiastic and smiled with satisfaction.

“Good attitude!”

“You’re noisy, Jamua.”

When they had almost finished climbing the stairs, a sharp voice was heard.

“Don’t you remember the professors saying not to carelessly talk about academics to dual-class students? Let alone forcing academics on an all-class junior from the first meeting?”

A Southern woman with light brown skin and reddish-brown eyes was standing in the second-floor hallway, leaning against the wall.

Judging by her Lumern uniform and the badge with the number 5 on her left chest, she was also a senior.

Looking at the book and staff emblem embroidered on her right shoulder, she seemed to be from the Magic Studies Department.

She pushed herself off the wall and walked with click-clack heel sounds, pushing Jamua aside and standing in front of Leo and Selia.

“Hello, my name is Torua Yan. You must be Selia? I’ve heard a lot about you from Ris.”

“Hello, Senior Torua.”

Although it was their first meeting, Selia had also often heard from Ris about Torua, a fifth-year Magic Studies student who was the top student in written exams.

“And… you must be Leo Flobe?”

Torua looked at Leo silently and then snorted.

“Professor Ren praised you so much that I had expectations… What is this? That pathetic amount of mana? I feel like a fool for having expectations.”

“Did you just call Leo pathetic?”

Selia flared up.

“I just stated the facts. So then, Leo.”

Click- Click-

Torua approached Leo and said.

“Drop your Knight Studies and Summoning Studies classes right now and focus on magic.”

Torua put her arm around Leo’s shoulder and pointed to the ceiling.

“Leo. Look up. Can you see your potential shining like stars in the night sky?”

“I only see the magic lights of the chandelier attached to the ceiling.”

“You didn’t understand what I meant. I meant to close your eyes and see.”

“Then you’d only see darkness.”

“You have the ability to evaluate things intuitively. That’s an essential quality for a mage. It seems you’re naturally born to be a mage.”

Torua was a typical mage who only said what he wanted to say.

“Senior Torua. You just said a moment ago that we shouldn’t force students into departments…”

“Selia. Sorry, but this is Magic Studies Department business, so could you please not interfere?”

Selia frowned and asked Jamua.

“Is he allowed to act like that?”

“Of course not. But he’s a magic fanatic, so no matter how much you talk to him, he won’t listen.”

Jamua shook his head.

“If the professors found out he acted like that, he’d probably get a serious scolding.”

“But the professors don’t know.”

“They will find out.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m going to snitch on him.”

Selia wore a dumbfounded expression at this tearful friendship built over five years of navigating life and death together.

***

“Brother!”

“Selia, have you been well?”

Selia entered Ris’s room with a bright smile and clung to Ris.

Leo looked surprised at this sight.

This was the first time Leo had seen Selia, who always maintained proper appearance and conduct as a person of Jerdinger, acting spoiled.

‘When I see her like this, she really is just a fifteen-year-old kid, isn’t she?’

As he chuckled at her age-appropriate behavior, Ris spoke to Leo.

“So you’re Leo. I’ve heard a lot about you. How is your aunt doing?”

“Yes. Have you met my mother before?”

“I met her when I was young. I’ve also sent her several letters since coming to Lumern.”

“To my aunt?”

When Selia looked surprised, Ris laughed.

“Your aunt was famous during her school days. As you live your school life, you’ll naturally hear about the legend.”

“For example?”

“Her gathering students and storming into the principal’s office because the dormitory cafeteria desserts were terrible is really famous.”

“That was my aunt?”

“As expected, that was my mother.”

Selia’s mouth fell open while Leo wore an expression that said he knew it.

“That’s right. Thanks to that, students could eat delicious desserts in the dormitory cafeteria. I tried the desserts from that time… As student council president, I actively supported your aunt’s opinion.”

Ris chuckled and nodded as he spoke.

“Anyway, sorry for calling you on the weekend. Once school starts, you’ll be busy and I thought we wouldn’t be able to see each other for a while. That’s why I called you separately like this.”

“I’m fine with it!”

Selia, seeing Ris after a long time, acted spoiled and chatted happily.

While taking care of his younger sister, Ris also looked after Leo.

‘I can see why Selia admires him.’

As the heir to Jerdinger, and as Lumern’s student council president.

Ris was a flawless person.

His skills were impressive and his character was exceptional.

‘He’s truly someone approaching herohood.’

It felt like it was only a matter of time before Ris ascended to the position of hero.

“So brother! What kind of Hero Dungeon did you conquer this time? What hero was it?”

In the middle of their conversation, Selia asked.

“That’s still classified information, so I can’t tell even you. But I can tell you that I recovered two pages.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Though one is so severely damaged that even the Heroes’ World can’t implement it.”

Ris spoke regretfully and checked his watch.

It was already dinner time.

“It’s already mealtime. You don’t know Lumeria’s hidden restaurants, do you?”

“I don’t know. Are there such places?”

“Of course there are. Do you think I attended Lumern for five years for nothing? I’ll take you to a really delicious place today.”

“Wow!”

Selia smiled brightly and stood up from her seat.

“Leo, is there anything you can’t eat?”

“I eat everything well.”

“Really? Got it. Go down first. I’ll organize my things and come down.”

Selia hummed a tune as she pushed Leo’s back and went outside.

Ris took out a box containing the sealed Hero Record pages he had recovered this time from his luggage.

It was something that should never be shown to regular students, so he had to carry it with him when going out.

As Ris held the box, which was slightly smaller than his palm, he paused.

He felt an unusual power fluctuation from the box.

‘What is this? Is the Hero Dungeon I conquered this time about to go berserk?’

Ris wore a tense expression.

Torn pages are in an unstable state.

Even after being conquered, they often went berserk again and created Hero Dungeons.

Ris frowned as he opened the box to check.

The Hero Record showed no reaction at all.

‘Wait. Could it be?’

He hurriedly opened the box containing the severely damaged page.

A small page fragment the size of a finger joint was emitting a faint gray light.

Ris couldn’t help but be surprised as the page that had shown no reaction until now revealed its power.

‘What in the world is this…?’
