“It’s Woreden!”

“Woreden came to save us!”

Cheers erupted from the Harmony Dormitory side.

Nella, who was confronting Leo, muttered quietly while watching those dormitory students.

“It doesn’t really seem like Woreden came to rescue us though…”

As soon as those words ended, Woreden raised his hand.

Whoooosh-!

A massive sphere of flame formed above Woreden’s hand.

Woreden’s specialty.

Spirit magic using magical formulas.

“Ooooh!”

“Woreden! Woreden!”

The Harmony students shouted Woreden’s name loudly.

Roooooooar!

“Woreden! Woreden… Wore…”

But soon they realized something was wrong and their cheering died down.

“…”

“…”

At some point, everyone fell silent and stared at Woreden.

In the midst of this, one Knight Department student from Harmony spoke up.

“Hey.”

“…What.”

“…No matter how you look at it, doesn’t that seem to be getting too big?”

“You think so too? That’s what I was thinking…”

Looking at Woreden’s flame sphere that kept adding firepower endlessly, all students except Leo began breaking out in cold sweat.

“Nah. It can’t be.”

“Right. No matter what, with so many allies here, he wouldn’t try a large-scale area attack. Hahahaha.”

While the Knight Department and Magic Studies Department students forced awkward smiles.

The Summoning Department students ran away without hesitation.

“What are you doing! Run!”

“That guy doesn’t care about us and would totally do an area attack!”

The Summoning Department students who had studied together for a year knew Woreden’s personality all too well.

Seeing their reaction, the Knight Department and Magic Studies Department students also fled in terror.

Nella also sighed as if she expected this and tried to leave her position.

But she hesitated when she saw Leo not moving at all.

“Aren’t you going to dodge?”

At that question, Leo smiled and pointed his finger.

“Should I dodge over there?”

That’s where the Harmony students were taking shelter.

The terrified Harmony students shouted.

“Hey! Don’t come! Don’t come this way!”

“Go over there! Over there!”

“Hey! Are you telling us to go to your side just to save yourselves!”

When the Harmony students pointed at Noble and shouted, this time the Noble students cried out.

Seeing this, Leo chuckled and looked at Woreden.

“Don’t worry about me.”

At Leo’s words, Nella threw herself toward where the Harmony students were.

Along with that, Woreden’s massive flame engulfed Leo.

Seeing the enormous fierce flames, Leo gripped his sword tighter.

Whooom-!

Gray aura swirled.

Leo condensed aura into his sword, his eyes flashing as he swung the blade.

Swish-!

An eerie sound of cutting through air rang out.

Whoosh-!

Along with that, Woreden’s flames split in half.

BOOOOOOOOM-!

With a massive explosion, waves of flame poured down like waterfall water.

The surging waves of flame soon crashed to the ground.

For a moment, Leo’s eyes twitched.

‘Fusion of fire spirits and earth spirits?’

Contrary to expectations, it wasn’t spirit magic implementing explosion magic formulas using spirits.

Woreden was steadily preparing an attack that would deal additional damage to Leo, whose specialty was flame attributes.

Gurgle-! Whoooosh-!

The flames that seeped into the ground soon shot up into the sky like fountains.

The surrounding area instantly became a sea of lava.

When Woreden gestured, the fire spirits and earth spirits moved.

CRAAAASH-!

The surrounding students who were evacuating screamed in terror at the lava that rose to tsunami-like heights.

“Aaaaah! We’re getting swept away!”

“Run! Run!”

It was like a natural disaster.

Woreden was literally controlling the nature around him perfectly.

Leo narrowed his eyes as he watched the wave of lava rushing toward him.

“What a monster.”

Splash-!

With those words, Leo was swept away by the lava.

***

[Ah! Amazing! Harmony Dormitory’s Woreden Taiden! Can this really be 2nd year level spirit magic!]

The 4th year Summoning Department student who always handled commentary during public events.

Runba Tes shouted in an excited tone, spitting as he spoke.

[Professor Sedjen, who oversees the 2nd years! What do you think of student Woreden’s spirit magic!]

[Elegant!]

[Oh! Rare high praise from Professor Sedjen, one of Lumern’s most capable professors!]

“…He always has ‘elegant’ on his lips, so what is that guy saying?”

Riina muttered with her chin propped up, and the beautiful female student next to her answered while gently twirling her hair.

“Runba is naturally good at embellishing things.”

Elena was assisting Riina, who was currently the principal, in her capacity as acting director.

Havedon, who was the acting mayor of Lumeria City and vice student council president, sat next to Riina wearing an eyepatch with his head tilted back, sleeping.

The royalty sitting in the same seats as VIP guests made bewildered expressions seeing this.

[Please introduce student Woreden’s excellence to our audience!]

[Dear audience! Student Woreden is one of the proud disciples that I! Sedjen! have raised with my utmost effort!]

[…Um… I recall that student Woreden wasn’t under Professor Sedjen’s guidance during his 1st year…]

[What does that matter! He’s receiving my guidance now, so isn’t he my disciple! Now! Student Woreden! Quickly punish that annoying Leo Flobe… Mmph! Mmph!]

[P-Professor Sedjen! As a commentator, you must maintain neutrality…]

[Quickly defeat Leo Flobe, that lackey of Hallind-! *cut*]

The broadcast suddenly cut off.

All the spectators made bewildered expressions.

[We apologize for the brief broadcasting incident.]

Hallind’s cold voice echoed throughout.

Before anyone knew it, Professor Sedjen was being dragged away by other professors.

Currently, the spectator stands were filled with royalty from various nations, including influential nobles, all seated as distinguished guests.

In such a situation, this major incident had erupted.

If this had happened anywhere else, it would have caused an uproar, and indeed the freshmen were watching with shocked expressions, nervously wondering what would happen next.

However, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years remained calm.

“Is our son being hated by the professors?”

“Oh no! Hated? I adore him so much.”

Yura smiled brightly as she massaged Raina’s shoulders.

“Senior Raina. This is the finest black tea I cultivated with magic.”

Professor Ren poured black tea into Raina’s cup with elegant gestures.

When he clapped his hands lightly, Anna approached with a devastated expression.

“These are cookies I baked myself.”

“Oh my, thank you.”

“…Professor Ren. Everyone’s staring at us.”

“Associate Professor Anna. Remember this. Hospitality is also necessary work for the endless advancement of magic.”

‘Usually when distinguished guests come, you don’t even glance at them, let alone provide hospitality.’

Anna let out a deep sigh inwardly.

“Hey! Carlo! Why are you only coming now!”

“…How am I supposed to travel to and from the Isle of the Summoned Beasts in 10 minutes?”

Yura’s associate professor Carlo came with a tearful expression, carrying fruits he had procured from the Isle of the Summoned Beasts.

“Senior Raina, don’t eat those cookies and try these fruits instead. You know the fruits from the Isle of the Summoned Beasts are Lumern’s specialty, right??”

“Oh my. Thank you.”

Raina, who had been laughing while covering her mouth with “Ohohohohoho-“, tilted her head curiously.

“But why are you all doing this much for me?”

“It’s a cute junior expressing their feelings to a respected senior they’re meeting after a long time.”

“Cute…?”

When Yura spoke coquettishly, Associate Professor Carlo made a strange expression.

Of course, he lowered his head at Yura’s menacing gaze.

“That’s right. Ever since Senior Raina graduated, I have never forgotten about you, not even once.”

“…Professor Ren. That sounds like a rather dangerous statement.”

Anna said with a deep sigh, but Ren didn’t care.

“So, what do you want?”

“It’s about the advancement of magic and Leo’s future.”

“Senior Raina. Leo should choose the Summoning Department. Of course, Senior Raina was from the Knight Academy, but I think we shouldn’t be swayed by such things! Look at Leo! He has Jerdinger blood flowing through him, yet he’s a Phoenix contractor!”

“Hmm. Both of your opinions have merit.”

Raina smiled slightly.

“By the way, I suddenly want to eat the ice cream they used to sell in Lumeria City.”

The moment Raina finished speaking, both Yura and Professor Ren ran off without looking back.

Watching this scene, Ain muttered.

“The shame of Lumern’s professors.”

Anna and Carlo couldn’t bring themselves to deny those words.

Raina, who had been thoroughly using her junior colleagues she met after a long time, looked at the magical screen with sparkling eyes.

“By the way, that boy named Woreden is impressive.”

“If Leo hadn’t been there, he would have been the strongest among the 2nd years. He wasn’t called a monster and highly renowned for nothing.”

“Hmm, even I, who retired from the front lines, had heard of him.”

Looking at Woreden standing in the middle of surging lava waves, Raina nodded.

“Of course…”

Ain stared intently at the screen and said.

“Your son is even more of a monster though.”

As those words ended, gasps erupted throughout the entire spectator stands.

In the middle of the sea of lava.

Leo was standing there.

On Leo’s forearm sat a beautiful firebird.

***

Bubble- Bubble-

The lava boiled.

In the middle of it, Leo stood calmly.

‘It doesn’t work.’

Woreden narrowed his eyes.

Leo stood calmly in the middle of the lava without a single scorch mark.

Seeing this, Woreden let out a “Heh-” laugh.

‘Leo Flobe.’

Woreden clenched and unclenched his large hands.

Woreden Taiden.

The country where he was born was a desert nation located in the southern continent.

Called the land of spirit summoners, it was a country where everything operated through the power of spirit summoners – Dollian.

He was born into the lower class of that Dollian.

However, in Dollian where those with spirit summoning talent were treated favorably, Woreden quickly rose to the upper class.

But along with that, he naturally became a target of wariness.

There were even those who tried to kill him to keep him in check.

However, when he turned 14 and summoned a high-grade spirit.

Dollian’s power structure could no longer simply regard Woreden as just a threat to their positions.

They saw him as the strongest spirit summoner and an essential talent for Dollian’s future.

That’s why Woreden had craved strength even more.

The reason was simple.

If you’re merely strong, you become a target of wariness.

But the strongest becomes a target of awe.

For Woreden, who had risen to Dollian’s highest class through his own power from a young age, strength was not only a source of pride but also a means necessary for survival.

When he first enrolled at Lumern, he believed without doubt that he would become the best in the group, as he always had.

But…

‘Leo Flobe appeared.’

The man who had far surpassed him before he knew it.

The first wall that Woreden, who never doubted his own strength, had ever encountered.

He had to acknowledge it.

That the monster before his eyes was above him.

But even so, Woreden didn’t stop craving to be the strongest.

Whoosh-!

Responding to Leo’s spiritual power, Fiora breathed out even more intense flames.

Woreden felt Leo taking away control of his flames.

‘If someone other than me is the strongest.’

Whoosh-

A massive sphere of flame aimed at Woreden.

‘I’ll simply stake everything I have and challenge that strongest.’

Roooooar-!

Spiritual power swirled around Woreden’s body.

Seeing this, Leo’s eyes flickered.

Rummmmmble-!

The land shook.

Craaaaaash-!

The earth’s surface overturned as if the Land itself was enraged.

Groooooooooo!

The Land let out a roar.

A massive giant of earth swung its arm.

The giant seized Fiora’s flames in its grasp.

Kwagagagagagagang-!

The earth’s axis shook as Fiora’s flames scattered in all directions.

It was as if a natural disaster was unfolding.

-Uooooooooooo!

The Land where Woreden stood rose up.

The massive giant of earth let out a roar toward the Sky.

Leo’s eyes widened at the sight.

This was completely unexpected.

“A Great Spirit?”
