321

A room where darkness had settled.

Creak!

The window opened and a small being shining silver moved between the blackout curtains.

-Hehehe! I’ve been waiting for this moment.

Kirran, who had opened the window and infiltrated someone’s room, wore a meaningful expression.

That place was none other than Tina’s Professor’s Office, the professor invited by Ren.

-Burglary while everyone’s distracted by midterms! It’s basic tactics.

Kirran, who had a smug expression all by himself, flapped his wings and scattered silver powder everywhere.

-Now then, shall I look for where my wings are?

Kirran, who was rummaging through Tina’s room while rubbing his palms together, discovered a jewel and his eyes flashed.

-Found it! My wings!

Kirran joyfully flew around in all directions, flapping about as he shouted.

-With this, the Fairy Prince’s dignity will rise! Just wait and see! That fat Phoenix! I’ll make her kneel before my noble form!

As Kirran clenched his fist and imagined Fiora submitting to him while reaching for the jewel.

Thunk-!

Something struck down in front of Kirran.

Kirran realized it was a sharply gleaming scalpel.

Following the hand that held the scalpel with stiff, frozen movements, he turned his head to see golden eyes flashing.

“Oh my, what a cute moth.”

Tina wore her characteristic bored smile as she retrieved the scalpel she had struck down.

-Who are you calling a moth! I’m a fairy!

Kirran bristled with anger.

“Oh my, how perfect.”

Tina smiled very brightly.

“I was just practicing dissecting fairies anyway.”

Kirran looked in the direction Tina was gazing.

He could see the inner room of the professor’s office.

It seemed she had come out from there.

And a fairy model visible through the gap in the door.

The model’s body was stuck full of things that looked exactly like the scalpel Tina was holding.

Kirran’s face turned pale.

“I’ve wanted to dissect a fairy since long ago, you know?”

Tina’s face flushed red.

She spoke with an excited expression.

“Don’t worry, I’ll sew you back up prettily.”

-Kyaaaah! G-get away! You witch!

“Kyahahahahahahahahaha!”

Kirran, terrified, began to flee.

Tina wore a maniacal smile as she wildly swung her scalpel through the air, chasing after Kirran.

The professor’s office became a mess, but Tina didn’t care.

Kirran, cornered, pressed his body against the wall and trembled.

The moment Tina raised her scalpel while looking at Kirran.

Whoosh-!

Kirran vanished.

***

-Uheheheheng! I almost died!

Kirran, summoned onto Leo’s palm, hugged himself and shouted.

“…Why are you making such a fuss?”

-I almost got dissected after being caught by that weird elf!

Leo made a pathetic expression while looking at Kirran, who was complaining with tears welling up in his eyes.

“I could tell from when you were going around playing pranks on the kids.”

Kirran, who had been sniffling, grabbed Leo’s sleeve and blew his nose with a honk!

Leo swatted Kirran with his palm like catching a mosquito.

-Comfort me! I said comfort me! You’re our father’s friend! When a friend’s son is crying, you should comfort him!

“Stop it if you don’t want to get hit again.”

Kirran pouted his lips.

Looking at Kirran, Leo said.

“Get ready.”

-Huh?

Kirran flapped his wings and lifted his body.

Then he glanced around at the surrounding situation, opened his eyes wide, soon burst out in admiration, then crossed his arms and lifted his chin.

-Finally, the moment for me to reveal myself before people!

Leo sheathed his sword while watching Kirran, who wore a triumphant expression and let out cheers.

Then he stretched his hand toward the void.

Whoooosh-!

Along with crimson flames, a red spear appeared.

Clack-!

Leo, gripping the spear, looked at Woreden and Duran, whose faces had hardened.

“Then… shall we start the real hunt?”

***

“Fighting three at the same time?”

Hark’s eyes, which had been drowsy, became clear.

“Our student council president’s potential is endless~”

Elena, who crossed her legs and smiled innocently, also looked at Leo with interest.

At those words, Aina, who had been quietly watching Leo’s image on the large magical screen, spoke up.

“What do you think will happen in this fight?”

Aina was also sitting in the best seat as the 1st year representative.

Many people felt goodwill and interest and approached her upon hearing she was the great-granddaughter of Kalian, the former principal and the strongest hero of the previous generation.

There were also dark intentions of wanting to befriend her, who had inherited the Sword Saint’s legacy as Kalian’s successor.

But Aina had remained silent like a doll.

This was the first time such an Aina had spoken up.

At Aina’s question, Elena twirled her hair and answered.

“Why ask something so obvious.”

Elena spoke with a seductive smile.

“Leo will win overwhelmingly.”

“But the three seniors’ power isn’t to be underestimated either?”

Indeed, that was true.

Woreden had summoned a Great Spirit.

The battle with Duran was sword fighting at such incredible speed it was hard to follow with the eyes.

Against 2nd year students with such power, even if Leo, who was the same year, had superior strength, winning overwhelmingly seemed nearly impossible by common sense.

At Aina’s words, Hark rested his chin on his hand.

“Senior Ris, who graduated, didn’t pass the student council president position to Leo simply because of potential.”

Hark looked at Leo on the screen.

“He passed the student council president position to that guy because he expected Leo would catch up to him and grow beyond that in a short time.”

Hark narrowed his eyes.

“The 2nd years are certainly amazing. But if I fought that guy now, even I couldn’t guarantee victory. Leo Flobe is that much of a monster.”

“Leo probably still has a trump card hidden even now, right?”

At Hark and Elena’s evaluation, Aina’s eyes widened and she clenched her hands tightly.

“Ooh! Leo! Amazing!”

A voice filled with admiration could be heard.

There stood Lil, the third-year representative, with a bright smile, having brought food.

“Oh my, Lil. I’ll enjoy this.”

Elena, who spotted Lil, smiled mischievously and snatched away the snacks Lil had brought.

“Elena-senpai. That’s mine.

“Oh my, how admirable that you know to yield to your senior.”

Though Lil protested with a tearful expression, Elena wore her characteristic queenly smile as she seized the snacks.

“No different from a thug. Want to steal from your junior?”

Hark clicked his tongue while looking at Elena and reached out toward Lil.

Then he took the drink that Lil had thoughtfully brought using spirits to keep it cool.

“Hark-senpai. That’s the drink I bought to drink myself…”

“Sorry, I need to wake up right now and I’m thirsty.”

Watching the Academy’s top students rob their junior of snacks and drinks, Riina shook her head.

“As principal, I’m genuinely embarrassed that you guys are the Academy’s best.”

Even at those words, Hark and Elena paid no attention whatsoever.

Lil, who had suddenly been plundered of food by her strong-willed seniors, slumped her shoulders and sat down.

Then she noticed Aina sitting beside her like a doll and smiled brightly.

“Aina, are you enjoying watching?”

“…Lil-senpai, how do you see that fight…?”

“Leo will win. Leo must be hiding a trump card.”

Lil also shrugged her shoulders as she predicted Leo’s victory.

At the words of seniors who had far more experience and strength than herself, Aina hung her head low.

‘Just how… how can I earn that person’s recognition?’

Her hands clenched with force.

‘That boy… why did he earn recognition?’

She hated making comparisons.

But the boy of the same age, far below her level, had earned Leo Flobe’s recognition.

As Aina gritted her teeth and her eyes darkened, it happened.

“A fairy?”

“Did he just summon a fairy?”

Voices filled with shock could be heard from everywhere.

Aina looked up in surprise.

On Leo’s palm in the screen, a fairy had been summoned.

Watching that scene, Aina widened her eyes as she looked at her seniors.

“Just as you seniors said, Leo-senpai was hiding a trump card. Did you three know that Leo-senpai had contracted with a fairy?”

Though Aina was impressed, the expressions of Elena, Hark, and Lil were utterly strange.

“No. No matter what, who could predict something like that?”

“Right, that’s crossing the line way too much.”

“…I feel self-loathing whenever I look at Leo.”

Elena wore an expression of disbelief, and Hark shook his head repeatedly.

Finally, Lil slumped her shoulders.

Aina blinked her eyes.

‘…That person is just a cheat.’

***

Leo gripped ‘Ranchea’ in his hand.

It was one of the Jerdinger Family’s heirlooms delivered to Leo after he was recently recognized as a direct descendant.

“Kirran.”

At Leo’s call, Kirran activated his magic power.

Leo’s body recovered while various defensive spells were cast on him.

The 3 Great Familiars are fundamentally powerful beings.

But each has their own characteristics.

Phoenix, called the Emperor of Flames, specializes in attack.

Pegasus, called the Master of Lightning, is a familiar specialized in mobility.

Finally, the fairy, called the Phantom Being, specializes in defense and healing.

In other words, the fairy was a familiar specialized in combat support.

Whirr-!

Leo lightly spun Ranchea in his hand as he looked at Duran and Woreden.

Crash-!

Flames erupted from Leo’s body floating in the void.

Along with that, he charged toward Duran.

Crash-!

“Urgh!”

Duran’s eyes widened.

Woreden aimed for Leo’s back and swung his fist.

Bang-!

“…!”

Woreden’s face contorted.

He met eyes with the fairy before him.

Watching Kirran wag his finger as if to say ‘not a chance,’ Woreden poured out his spiritual power.

‘His weakness is mana capacity!’

Woreden’s eyes narrowed.

‘He’s pushing his efficiency to the extreme when using mana. Without any waste at all!’

It was tremendous mana control ability.

The realm of experience beyond the realm of sense.

‘In other words, if he can’t fight efficiently, he can’t drag this battle out long!’

No matter how much one increases mana consumption efficiency, there are limits.

‘And he’s currently using both Phoenix and fairy simultaneously!’

No matter how much one improves fuel efficiency, rapid mana consumption is unavoidable.

‘If I just hold out a little longer…!’

Woreden put more force into his fist.

Duran also unleashed an even more intense aura.

“It seems you’re trying to exhaust my mana.”

Leo raised his spear.

Thud-!

Crash-!

A wave of flames erupted with Leo at the center.

Duran and Woreden hastily retreated from the swirling flame aura.

“You’ll collapse before that happens.”

As Leo’s flames blazed threateningly, it happened.

Patter-! Whoosh-!

Rain began falling from the sky.

Leo looked up.

‘Is that Eliza?’

Leo narrowed his eyes.

‘Did she enhance Delpinus’s abilities using spirit magic? She was struggling because she couldn’t summon spirits… but as soon as she summons spirits, she displays this level of spirit magic?’

In terms of combat power itself, Woreden is overwhelmingly superior.

But looking at overall sense, all one could say was that Eliza’s summoning abilities were also remarkable.

Crackle-!

Duran’s lightning aura became even stronger with Eliza’s support.

Woreden also changed his spirit from an earth spirit to a water spirit and summoned it.

Eliza had changed the battlefield itself to favor the two of them.

‘Even while fighting Fiora, she provides this level of support.’

Leo gripped his spear tightly.

‘As expected, the one I need to take down first is Eliza.’

Leo’s gaze turned toward Eliza, who was fighting against Fiora in the air.

“This isn’t the time to be looking around! Leo Flobe!”

Woreden shouted and swung his spirit-infused fist toward Leo.

Leo used Arron’s Breath to manifest his aura.

Explosively strengthened aura formed in Leo’s hand in an instant.

Kwang-! Kugugugugung-!

Due to the shockwave, raindrops stopped falling around the two of them for a moment.

Seeing Leo block his attack with one hand, Woreden was about to put more force into his fist when.

“Lie down.”

Leo simply applied force with his hand and slammed Woreden into the ground.

As Kirran used fairy magic, tree roots sprouting from the ground wrapped around Woreden.

Kwak-!

“Kuk!”

While Woreden struggled, a golden flash flickered.

Pajijik-!

Leo charged toward the lightning that was covering him.

Chaeng-!

He struck away Duran’s sword with his spear tip.

Due to the tremendous force, Duran momentarily exposed his upper body.

Duran, left defenseless, gritted his teeth and deployed his aura armor.

Kwak-!

Leo drove his left foot into Duran’s chest.

“Kek?”

Blood poured from Duran’s mouth.

Kwagagang! Kwadeuk! Kwadeuk! Kwajijijik! Hudududuk! Kung!

Duran flew away, toppling trees, and crashed into the forest.

Just as Duran was contorting his face and trying to get up.

Tak-!

Leo gripped Ranchea properly.

Flames swirled violently.

Among Leo’s weapons, the most powerful weapon excluding Dweno’s weapon.

Kkuuk-!

Tendons bulged in Leo’s hand.

Hwak-!

Leo hurled his spear toward Eliza.

***

“Kreuk!”

Ppiyaaaaak!

“Don’t make such chick-like sounds while attacking so fiercely!”

Fiora, who charged savagely while making chick sounds, was enough to make Eliza flustered.

‘At least it’s fortunate she’s a young Phoenix! She’s still clumsy in battle!’

If Fiora had been even slightly skilled in combat, she wouldn’t have been able to support Woreden and Duran while facing Fiora.

‘If I hold out just a little longer, there’s a chance of victory!’

Eliza also knew better than anyone that Leo’s weakness was prolonged battles.

‘No matter how strong Leo Flobe is, he can’t subdue all three of us in an instant….’

Just as she was thinking that.

Ppiik-!

The Wind Wyvern that Eliza was riding let out a bewildered cry.

In that moment.

Kwak-!

“Uh…?”

A flash of flame covered her vision.

‘I’ve been… hit.’

Just as Eliza was spitting blood from her mouth.

Ttik-

The bracelet on Eliza’s arm briefly lit up red, then went out.

Hwak-!

Eliza’s vision became distant as she disappeared from that spot.

***

As Eliza received a death judgment, the rain stopped.

Leo, who had retrieved Ranchea, charged toward Woreden who had escaped from Kirran’s magic.

Kwagang! Kwagagagang! Hwareureuruk!

Flames soared high.

The ground was overturned and a tsunami swept over.

Beonjjeok! Kwagagagagang!

A golden lightning bolt struck down.

A fierce battle unfolded.

The short and intense battle was decided in an instant.

Woreden, who had already summoned Great Spirits and clashed with Leo several times, was the first to receive a death judgment.

Leo approached Duran, who had flown to the waterfront and was floating helplessly.

Thud- Thud-

Duran looked at Leo approaching and struggled to grip his sword.

‘This was the extent… of it?’

But he couldn’t grasp what he should do.

He couldn’t see the gap.

He couldn’t see the back that he thought he was barely chasing.

The moment Leo went all out.

The outcome was decided literally in an instant.

Leo, who had approached the fallen Duran, looked down at him.

Seeing Leo’s emotionless eyes, Duran gritted his teeth.

‘Just how am I supposed to….’

He couldn’t see a path.

‘Against this monster… how can I possibly win?’

Hwak-!

Leo’s spear pierced Duran without hesitation.

Beonjjeok-!

Duran, who received a death judgment, disappeared on the spot.

Leo returned to his stronghold.

A student who had been watching the four-person battle from afar swallowed hard.

“…That’s completely a fight between monsters.”

Looking at the devastated landscape where the terrain itself seemed to have been transformed, the students trembled.

Nella also wore an expression of despair.

“How are we supposed to defeat that Leo…?”
