335
Whoooooosh—!
A cold wind was blowing.
Then magical power swirled from the warp gate.
Flash—!
The bright light faded and Leo appeared.
It was the height of spring.
But regardless of the season, the frozen land was showing off its coldness.
“Huu.”
When Leo lightly exhaled, his breath obscured his vision.
He got off the warp gate carrying a bag full of luggage.
Leo was the only person who took the warp gate from Lumern to Seirun.
‘Since it’s not conference season yet, Associate Professor Anna will come according to the conference schedule.’
Thud- Thud-
Walking on the marble floor, Leo looked around.
It was already late.
All of Seirun’s academic schedules had ended.
The only ones at the warp gate were the mages operating it.
‘I thought at least one of Runia or Eiran would come to meet me?’
Leo knew he wouldn’t be welcomed at Seirun.
Still, among the students, Runia and Eiran were close friends, and among the teachers, Herdium evaluated him very favorably.
So he hadn’t expected that no one would come to meet him.
Feeling puzzled, Leo approached the elf mage operating the warp gate.
“Excuse me.”
The elf mage glanced at Leo.
The story had already reached the warp gate, so there was no sign of surprise even though a Lumern student had suddenly come to Seirun.
“What is it?”
“I’m Leo Flobe, an exchange student from Lumern. Is there perhaps someone here to meet me?”
“No.”
The elf mage shook his head, guided Leo outside the warp gate, then pointed to the Seirun campus visible in the distance.
“If you go to the entrance of Seirun campus, there will probably be faculty waiting.”
After hearing that explanation, Leo nodded and left the warp gate.
The elf mage watching Leo’s retreating figure hesitated, then spoke.
“Um… stay strong.”
At those words, Leo stopped and turned around.
When the elf mage’s eyes met Leo’s, he hurriedly turned his head and swept the snow in front of the warp gate.
‘His ability as a mage is high, but his achievement in star magic isn’t outstanding.’
Star magic.
It’s Luna’s unique magic system and now has become the symbol of elves, having become the unique magic of the entire elf race.
Any elf mage can use star magic.
But just because you can use star magic doesn’t mean anyone can achieve high accomplishments.
There are definitely elf mages who have low achievements in star magic even if they excel in other magic.
‘And such elves aren’t treated favorably, was it?’
This tendency was even stronger at Seirun.
What’s most important at the Hero Academy established by the Comet Mage is star magic.
No matter how excellent one’s aura talent and summoning talent might be, if they haven’t mastered ‘star magic’, they can’t cross the threshold of Seirun admission.
Therefore, Seirun students who handle aura or summons are basically all dual class.
As much as they value star magic, their pride in star magic is also tremendous.
Stories about Leo are already famous worldwide, beyond just humans.
That elf mage probably said those words because he anticipated how Seirun would treat Leo who came as an exchange student.
‘Looking at the reaction, could he be reprimanded just for having a private conversation with me?’
Even so, he said those words because he was worried about Leo, whom he was meeting for the first time.
‘Wherever you go, there are people with good intentions.’
Leo smiled slightly as he headed toward Seirun.
Risinass said that just because such people exist, this world is worth risking one’s life for.
Crunch- Crunch-
With each step Leo took, footprints formed in the snow.
After walking a short distance, he arrived at Seirun’s main gate.
And there stood one elf who looked strict.
She adjusted her glasses and said.
“Nice to meet you, Leo Flobe from Lumern. I’m Orlen Azel, in charge of etiquette education for Seirun 2nd years.”
“I’m Leo Flobe. Please take care of me for the next month.”
Leo greeted politely.
But before the greeting was even finished, Orlen sharply turned around and started walking.
A moment later, Leo arrived at the castle inside Seirun.
Opening the antique castle gate and entering, a vast entrance hall spread out.
Until arriving at a small room inside the castle, he didn’t encounter a single faculty member, let alone any students.
The vast castle was quiet as a mouse.
Entering the small room, Orlen eventually turned to look at Leo and said.
“Though it’s a short time, since you’ve come as an exchange student, you must follow Seirun’s strict school rules.”
When Orlen flicked her finger, a wardrobe door in one corner of the room opened and uniforms and books that appeared to be textbooks were placed on the table.
“Books and luggage brought from outside cannot be tolerated. Leave them all here.”
At those words, Leo nodded and placed his bag on the table.
“One more thing, Leo Flobe. You came to Seirun to study, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I hope you won’t make it obvious that you’re an exchange student.”
Orlen adjusted her glasses.
“To learn at Seirun, you need an appearance befitting that. While at Seirun, I hope you’ll live like an elf. Even in appearance. Because your existence could cause confusion among the students.”
At those words, Leo made a strange expression.
“Don’t the Seirun students already know about the exchange student anyway?”
“No, they don’t know.”
Leo tilted his head.
“Even so, I don’t think they won’t recognize me just because I dress like an elf.”
“Your pride in yourself is unnecessarily strong, Leo Flobe.”
Orlen curled up the corners of her mouth.
“This is Seirun, not Lumern. It’s elven society, not human society. I don’t know how famous you are in Lumern and human society, but it would be a mistake to think your fame applies here as well.”
Orlen snorted and said coldly.
“Please change into the uniform and wear the necklace that comes with it. And I’ll give you a campus map, so you can stay there.”
Leaving those words, Orlen left the room.
‘What nonsense? The Seirun 2nd years all know my face anyway, right?’
Leo, who was about to change into the Seirun uniform with an incredulous expression, turned his gaze toward the textbooks and stopped.
Then after looking at the textbooks, he chuckled.
“So that’s what you meant?”
Now he understood Orlen’s meaning.
The textbooks Orlen gave Leo were none other than the textbooks for Seirun freshmen.
‘Indeed, she must really dislike me.’
She probably didn’t want him to attend the same classes as the 2nd years.
In addition, it seemed she didn’t want him to meet Runia and Eiran either.
‘Does she think I’ll be a bad influence on those two?’
During the previous Smith exclusive contract incident.
Runia had fallen out of favor with Seirun’s supervising teacher.
From Seirun’s perspective, Runia had become a delinquent student and they would have judged that their prestige had fallen.
In fact, they had even threatened to exclude Runia, who was being mentioned as a candidate for the next student council president, in front of everyone.
‘But the situation would have changed when Runia conquered Dweno’s World.’
She had obtained a divine artifact that Dweno had personally created for Runia.
Not only that, she had inherited the flames of the Phoenix King, whose lineage had been severed during the Age of Calamity.
Truly unprecedented.
Runia’s value had become too great to abandon her.
Therefore, they would want to somehow change Runia to suit their tastes.
“…How is it that you learn bad things so well without anyone teaching you?”
Recalling the methods of the High Elves from 5000 years ago, Leo let out a hollow laugh.
Leo, who had changed into Seirun’s uniform, put on the necklace that Orren had mentioned around his neck.
It was a necklace enchanted with Star Magic and illusion magic.
He went in front of the mirror.
After putting on Seirun’s white uniform, his ears had changed to elf ears.
Truly, an unmistakable Seirun student was standing there.
“Looks like I’ll be pretending to be a Seirun 1st year, which isn’t in my nature.”
Leo looked at his reflection in the mirror and chuckled.
“This should be interesting.”
Leo hadn’t come here to study anyway.
He had come to Seirun at Tina’s request, who had hoped he would have a positive influence on Seirun in exchange for obtaining Kirran’s wings.
And if possible, she had asked him to teach magic to her nephew who had enrolled this year.
‘While I’m at it, it wouldn’t be bad to get a clear look at what level the Seirun 1st years are at.’
Leo picked up his textbooks and left the room.
***
Following the rough map that Orren had left behind, Leo headed toward the dormitory room.
It was practically a situation where Leo had been half-abandoned.
However, Leo easily followed the map and headed toward the dormitory area.
A moment later.
Leo was able to reach the dormitory area without difficulty.
Upon arriving at the dormitory area, despite the late hour, two people were sitting on the lounge sofa having a conversation.
“Did you hear that story?”
A male student sitting in the middle of the lounge crossed his arms and spoke.
“About Lumern’s student council president during Lumern’s midterm exam.”
“Are you talking about Leo Flobe?”
A female student tilted her head while sipping tea.
“Yeah. They say he summoned a fairy during the exam?”
“Pfft! Do you believe that?”
The female student who heard the male student’s words burst into laughter.
“He’s already a Phoenix contractor, right? But suddenly a fairy? Do you think that makes sense?”
The surrounding students also burst into giggles.
“That’s not all. He supposedly summoned Pegasus too.”
The male student who had first brought up Leo’s story still maintained a serious expression as he spoke.
“Hey! That makes even less sense! No matter how amazing he is, do you think it’s possible for a mere 2nd year to contract with all three great mythical beasts?”
Tsk tsk tsk- The female student clicked her tongue while looking at the male student.
Looking at such a female student, the male student said seriously.
“No matter how absurd a story sounds, we need to listen. We have to prepare for this Serule. We don’t get much information about Lumern. We need to gather even trivial information to prepare.”
He seemed to have a cautious personality.
Looking at the male student who kept making remarks as if wary of Leo, the female student laughed.
“Well, I understand that Leo Flobe is amazing. But among the Lumern 1st years who are our actual competitors, there aren’t any kids with particularly big rumors, right? At most, there’s the Sword Saint’s great-granddaughter who was already famous?”
The female student who sipped her tea smiled meaningfully.
“Besides, who do you think is 1st place in our class? It’s Lea Tingel.”p>
The female student smiled with confidence.
“We have Lea who succeeded in summoning the Fairy King for the first time in thousands of years, so why worry about Lumern and give ourselves headaches? We also have Runia senior and Eiran senior, so this Serule will definitely be our victory!”
“Sorry to interrupt your conversation.”
“Eek?”
At the voice that suddenly came from behind, the female student was startled and turned around.
Leo, leaning against the sofa with his head forward, smiled and asked.
“Who summoned whom?”
In this world.
Leo couldn’t help but take great interest in the story of the friend who was the only one to share the same time as him.
