“Hello.”

“Good morning, Leo!”

“Did you have a good weekend?”

The morning after the weekend ended.

Leo’s classmates greeted him as he entered the classroom.

“Leo, I heard you met with the student council president over the weekend!”

As he was about to sit down, his classmate Taide approached with an excited tone.

“I thought you were getting close with Selia Jerdinger from Class 1, so you got to meet the student council president through her?”

Iliana also approached with crossed arms, looking surprised.

Only Cal and Chelsea in the class knew that Leo and Selia were cousins.

“You’re really interested in the student council president?”

“Of course! He’s the strongest, ranked first in Lumern!”

Taide said excitedly.

“Good family, good skills, good grades. And he’s handsome too. Leo, did you get invited to join the student council?”

Iliana asked with a curious voice.

Leo was a talent that Lumern was paying attention to.

At first, many questioned how Leo, who wasn’t even valedictorian, became the freshman representative, but now it was different.

With his unprecedented all-class abilities, all the major professors were very eager to have him.

Leo shook his head at Iliana’s question.

“I didn’t really get that kind of invitation. Even if I did, I’m not interested in the student council.”

At those words, Taide and Iliana’s eyes lit up.

“Leo, would you like to join the Summoning Material Research Club with me?”

Taide actively recommended joining his club.

“You’re still weak in summoning practical skills, right? It’ll definitely help!”

“Move aside! Did you forget Leo has all classes? Leo! Join the Mage Swordsman Club with me! You’re absolutely welcome!”

Taide and Iliana bickered.

Both had already temporarily joined their desired clubs even before the club activity permission period for first-years.

Watching the two squabble, Cal appeared with a tsk-tsk sound.

“You’re both behind on information. Leo has already decided on his club activities.”

“What? Where?”

“He’s going to create his own club.”

“Create a club?”

“A first-year?”

Taide and Iliana blinked.

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

Nella, who was sitting far away, showed interest with her characteristic languid voice.

“A Hero Research Club, apparently.”

“But we already research enough in heroics class?”

Iliana made a sour expression.

“According to him, he’s going to research forgotten heroes? Like Kail, for instance.”

Hearing that, Taide and Iliana made expressions that said ‘Why would he do that?’

But Nella nodded.

“Even if he’s a fictional hero, Kail is the only all-class hero, so it makes sense he’d be interested.”

Nella nodded.

‘I need to find my Hero Record page quickly.’

Unless the Hero Record was discovered, there was no way to prove his existence.

Then Ellig Tuna, a male student from Class 8, entered Class 5.

He approached Leo and asked.

“Hey, Class 5. Who’s your class president?”

“We don’t have a president, but I’m currently acting as one.”

“We haven’t decided yet, but you can talk to me.”

“Huh? What’s this about?”

Not only Taide and Iliana, but Chelsea, who was reading a magic book nearby, also looked up and reacted.

“Um… so who is the class president?”

Ellig looked back and forth between the three people.

The three people’s gazes tangled in the air.

“Obviously it’s me. I’ve been assisting Professor Hallind all this time.”

Taide said, crossing his arms.

“What are you talking about? I’ve assisted Professor Hallind a lot too! And obviously someone from the renowned Raden Family should do it, right?”

Iliana snorted and puffed out her chest.

“Are you talking about family background in front of Rwallin? How ridiculous. Of course, I don’t need the halo of family background. Since the class president is the face of the class, shouldn’t the most outstanding person do it? Who’s the best in our class?”

Chelsea smiled and stood up from her seat.

As the three people claiming to be class president started bickering, Ellig approached Leo.

“Leo Flobe. I’ll give you this.”

He handed Leo a document.

“What is this?”

“Today’s heroics class adjustment. Everyone should gather in the Main Auditorium after morning assembly. Professor Artion has decided to conduct a joint class for all ten classes this time.”

Among required subjects, combat studies was handled by each homeroom professor.

The reason was that they needed to understand and develop the characteristics of their class students.

But heroics had a specialized professor in charge.

And the first-year heroics professor was Professor Artion, who was Class 8’s homeroom teacher and had left a strong impression on the first day of school.

“You can give it to your homeroom teacher during this morning’s assembly. Well, I’m going now.”

Ellig left the classroom.

“Let me see, let me see.”

Cal took the document from Leo.

“Oh! So this is it! The research on the Hero Record page they recovered this time.”

“Really?”

Nella also checked the document’s contents.

“Which hero could it be? Leo, didn’t you hear anything from the student council president yesterday?”

At Cal’s question, Leo rested his chin on his hand.

“He said there was a page so damaged that implementing the Heroes’ World was impossible. I think that might be it.”

“Ugh! Deduction classes are the hardest!”

Cal grabbed his head.

“I said I’m the class president!”

“No! It’s me!”

“You’re not listening! Let’s decide with skills! Both of you come at me!”

“Do you think we’ll back down?”

“I’ll show you results for a month!”

The three people who had been claiming to be class president were still making a racket.

Watching them, Nella made a troubled expression.

“If Professor Hallind comes while they’re like that…”

“They’re dead, obviously.”

Cal shook his head.

***

“A joint class? I understand.”

During morning assembly.

Hallind nodded as he received the document Leo gave him.

“This joint class will be observed not only by Professor Artion but by all first-year homeroom teachers.”

He said with an indifferent face, casually tossing the document onto the podium.

“Since this is our first joint class, make sure to show your best behavior.”

“Yes.”

“If you show foolish behavior like these guys in front of other classes, it won’t end with just this.”

The class’s attention turned to the three people kneeling on their desks while holding chairs.

Chelsea, Taide, and Iliana hung their heads in shame.

“Professor! Why haven’t we chosen a class president yet?”

Cal raised his hand and asked.

Class 5 was the only class that hadn’t elected a class president even a month after the academic schedule began.

“I thought you’d figure it out among yourselves without me having to choose. It’s inefficient for me to intervene and waste time.”

Other classes had spent entire combat studies periods just to elect their class presidents.

Class 1’s case took twice as long as other classes since they had three top students.

Hallind considered that a waste of time and left it to the students’ autonomy.

However, the Class 5 students had been waiting for Hallind to bring up the topic.

“If you want me to intervene, I’ll do it my way. Leo, Nella.”

Hallind called out to Leo, who was in the furthest corner at the back, and Nella, who was at the very front.

“Leo is the class president and Nella is the vice president.”

“Yes.”

“Understood.”

“W-wait a minute! Professor! What about voting or something! There are other ways! This is unfair!”

“I agree!”

Iliana protested and Taide chimed in.

Hallind showed an indifferent reaction to their words.

“Is there a student more suitable than Leo Flobe as a figure who demonstrates leadership in the class?”

At those words, Iliana and Taide fell silent.

Indeed, no student in Class 5 could match Leo’s leadership shown in combat studies.

“And Nella has the most calm personality in our class. I think she’s perfect as a vice president who should assist the class president, don’t you think?”

Again, they couldn’t argue.

Both of them simply had no desire for the positions of class president or vice president.

If Hallind had designated these two, there was nothing more to say.

“Anyone have objections?”

“No.”

“Good. Then everyone prepare for class and move to the Main Auditorium.”

The great migration of first-year students began.

Since there were no opportunities to attend classes with students from other classes besides their major subjects, everyone was in quite an excited mood.

“Hello, Leo?”

“Leo! Want to have lunch together after class?”

Several female students giggled as they spoke to Leo.

Since he attended all major subjects, quite a few students were acquainted with Leo.

“Wow! Leo! You’re popular, huh? Well, you do have the looks for it.”

Cal poked Leo’s ribs from the side, acting cheeky.

Leo, who was a famous figure at the Academy and could be called a pretty boy, was certainly popular.

“Do you have anyone among your close friends you could introduce me to?”

“You have plenty of female friends you’re close with, so why are you asking me for that?”

“In my case, they’re all just customers.”

Cal grumbled with his clasped hands behind his head.

“Cal.”

“Yeah?”

Someone called Cal from behind.

Cal turned his head with a strange expression.

“Chloe, you look really tired?”

At Cal’s question, Chloe glanced at Leo and shook her head.

“Not really. Do you have any spare fatigue recovery potions you’d sell me?”

Cal pulled out fatigue recovery potions from his subspace.

Chloe took them, opened several bottles, and poured them straight into her mouth.

“Isn’t it too much to push yourself this hard at the beginning of the semester?”

At Leo’s question, Chloe shook her head.

“I’m fine.”

Saying that, she walked ahead.

“Wow, she’s intense. Really intense. To think she’s already first in theory exams and still pushing herself like that.”

Currently, Chloe was undoubtedly first in the Magic Studies Department’s theory exams.

Avad was second, Chelsea was third, and Leo was fourth.

Then suddenly, Chelsea joined the conversation.

“Chloe can’t help but feel anxious.”

“Huh? Why.”

“Cal. Sometimes I wonder if Magic Studies is really right for you.”

“I’m studying hard enough not to get expelled!”

Cal wagged his index finger and spoke confidently.

“Ugh. Anyway, the reason Chloe is anxious is because if Leo gets familiar with the latest magic trends, he might immediately catch up in theory scores.”

Chelsea was right.

Leo was more unfamiliar with the latest magic trends than any other mage in Lumern.

And all classes were focused on the latest magic trends.

However, in magic interpretation ability, which Lumern professors emphasized, no student could match Leo.

“Tsk. Is being first in theory that important?”

“It’s a matter of pride as a mage from the Magic Tower, so that part can’t be helped.”

Chelsea shrugged her shoulders.

While mages from renowned families inherited through bloodlines tended to focus on ‘combat’-oriented magic, mages from the Magic Tower focused on ‘exploration and research’.

Mages from Renowned Hero Families like Chelsea might be strong in combat, but they couldn’t lead the latest trends in magic.

Conversely, the Magic Tower often created new discoveries and spells.

For Chloe, she felt a sense of crisis from Leo in a field she thought she could never lose in.

‘Well. It’s good that she’s working hard, but…’

Leo scratched his cheek as he watched Chloe walking ahead.

‘She’ll burn out if she pushes too hard.’

A former great hero who had saved the world and a growing sprout.

Since their starting lines were different, it was inevitable.

‘I should find time to talk to her about it.’

***

“Yes, Ris.”

Ris reported the results of this dispatch mission to Kalian in the Headmaster’s Office.

“Is it true that this hero’s page reacted?”

Kalian carefully picked up a small Hero Record page fragment.

“Yes.”

“Interesting. Normally, a page of this level shouldn’t contain any power.”

The fragment, so damaged it was embarrassing to even call it a page, should normally contain no power at all.

“Has there been any reaction since then?”

“No.”

“Hmm… Was it a reaction that occurred from getting close to the Hero Record?”

Kalian put down the page fragment.

“Anyway, Ris. Good work on the dispatch.”

“Yes.”

After greeting and seeing off Ris, Kalian spoke to his secretary Erena when he returned.

“Take this to the Hall of the Progenitor’s Shrine.”

“Yes, Headmaster.”

At Kalian’s words, Erena stared intently at the Hero Record fragment he handed her.

“Erena?”

“Ah, yes. I’ll take it there right away.”

After Erena left the Headmaster’s Office, Kalian, now alone, stroked his chin.

Having conquered countless Heroes’ Worlds, he knew more about Hero Records than anyone.

‘Come to think of it, fragments of that size do react sometimes.’

Thinking it impossible, Kalian shook his head.

‘Hero Records react when the very person recorded in them appears.’
