Teacher Laura was taking deep breaths while walking quickly.

This morning.

She was on her way to the classroom after finishing the faculty meeting.

At today’s faculty meeting, Teacher Otren, who was in charge of Upper 1st Class, stepped down from his position as homeroom teacher of Upper 1st Class due to health reasons.

Of course, Laura knew the real reason why Otren had to step down from his position as the teacher in charge of Upper 1st Class.

‘It’s because he was defeated in a duel with Student Leo.’

By a mere student.

Moreover, the fact that he lost in a duel using Star Magic against a Lumern student was something the Pureblood Society, which currently controls Seirun, could never tolerate.

The result was his expulsion from the Upper 1st Class teacher position.

Seirun Upper 1st Class.

That meant the hero candidates with the brightest futures.

Being able to become their homeroom teacher was an enormous privilege given only to the chosen ones among Seirun’s teachers.

As soon as they heard the news that Otren had stepped down from the Upper 1st Class teacher position, all the teachers attending the faculty meeting’s eyes gleamed.

Laura let out a deep sigh.

‘If the homeroom teacher suddenly changes, it won’t be good for the students who are facing midterm exams.’

That was exactly what Laura was most worried about.

While it was an opportunity for the teachers, when large-scale personnel changes occurred, students inevitably experienced confusion.

‘Let’s focus on teaching our class students first!’

With the exam not far away.

The written exam had a set scope.

But the most important practical exam content had been shrouded in mystery until today.

And today, the practical exam content was announced at the faculty meeting.

Thinking she needed to quickly inform her students, Laura arrived at the Lower Class.

‘First period is Aura studies.’

Of course, since all students would definitely be doing their own training, she needed to call all the students together.

Creak-!

Laura’s eyes widened as she opened the door and entered.

All the Lower Class students were sitting in their seats.

“Good morning! Teacher Laura!”

The students greeted her with bright voices.

“Good morning to you all. But… isn’t first period Aura studies?”

Normally, it would be time for individual study, but all the students were in the classroom.

Laura couldn’t help but be surprised.

Leo answered Laura’s question.

“We were doing self-study.”

“Self-study?”

“Yes. The kids said they had questions about my duel with Teacher Otren the day before yesterday.”

Leo looked around at the students.

Not only the Knight Department students but also the Summoning Department students were looking at the blackboard with shining eyes.

Just like when Laura taught Star Magic classes, everyone was full of enthusiasm.

“We were discussing how knights and summoners should strategize when facing powerful mages.”

It was a lecture content that Laura couldn’t provide.

“Thank you, Student Kail.”

At Laura’s words, Leo smiled and returned to his seat.

Laura, standing in front of the teacher’s desk, cleared her throat with a “Ahem-!”

“Everyone, the midterm practical exam assignment was decided at today’s faculty meeting.”

At those words, the entire Lower Class showed tense expressions.

The midterm practical exam.

It could be said to be the most important exam of this test period.

Looking at the students with tense expressions, Laura said.

“Monster subjugation.”

“Monster subjugation?”

The Lower Class students’ eyes widened.

“Yes. The practical exam assignment is for students to work together to subjugate powerful monsters. Rankings will be determined by the speed of conquest, making the most of strategy, tactics, and teamwork.”

At Laura’s words, Angr raised his hand.

“Teacher, I have a question!”

“Yes, Student Angr.”

“That’s not the end, is it?”

“No.”

The Lower Class students made expressions that said ‘I thought so.’

“As you all expected, the conquest must be carried out using only Star Magic.”

At those words, sighs mixed with lamentation burst out among the Lower Class students.

Looking at such students, Laura said.

“Don’t worry too much. You’ve prepared yourselves, haven’t you? I think this is actually an opportunity.”

Laura spoke in a strong tone.

“It’s an opportunity to clearly prove that you are students who definitely don’t belong in the Lower Class.”

***

“I don’t quite understand something.”

Angr asked in a slightly puzzled tone.

“The exam assignment only uses Star Magic, so is there a need to have Aura classes?”

The Main Auditorium where Lower Class students usually trained.

All the Lower Class students were gathered there.

Not only knight students but also summoner and mage students were all gathered.

At Angr’s question, Leo asked.

“Are you a mage? Will you walk the path of magic for the rest of your life?”

“That’s not the case, but…”

“Then you should be faithful to your main profession too.”

Leo, who answered that way, looked at the summoner students.

“The same goes for you guys.”

Berus, who was like the leader of the summoner students in Leo’s Lower Class, raised his hand.

“Kail, I understand what you’re saying. But will your training method as a magic swordsman help summoners too?”

At Berus’s question, the summoner students nodded.

Looking at Berus, Leo said.

“The magic I’m going to teach you from now on will help all of you.”

“What kind of magic is it?”

“Enhancement magic.”

At Leo’s words, Angr tilted his head.

“Enhancement magic? The only Star Magic enhancement spells are unique magic passed down among prestigious families. There are no general-use spells, so how can we learn enhancement magic?”

Enhancement magic.

A type of buff magic.

It was magic inspired by fairy blessing magic, which Luna used to enjoy in close combat.

In fact, Luna had engaged in tremendous close combat at the frontlines while casting powerful magic countless times.

But now, only traces remained as family secret magic passed down through bloodline inheritance.

There was no general-use enhancement magic that anyone could use.

“There is though?”

At Leo’s answer, all the students showed surprised expressions.

“Not only physical enhancement, but you can also enhance familiars and spirits.”

Leo brought a portable blackboard and wrote down the interpreted magic formula.

It wasn’t the original magic that Luna used, but magic that Leo had reinterpreted in a modern way and improved so that the current Elves could use it.

‘Well, the power is weaker compared to the original. But it’s still sufficiently powerful magic.’

“Ooooh!”

“Amazing!”

The Lower Class students began writing down the magic formula in their notebooks.

Watching this scene, Angr approached.

“Is it okay to carelessly teach something like this?”

For a mage, magic that only they know boasts tremendous value.

Especially among Star Magic types, enhancement magic that anyone can use just by knowing the formula like this has incredible value.

Since he readily taught such magic, Angr couldn’t help but feel bewildered.

Looking at such Angr, Leo answered.

“If she saw you all, she would have been terribly angry.”

“Who?”

“Your great senior.”

If she saw the Lower Class students deprived of learning opportunities.

Luna would have been tremendously furious.

‘She probably would have smashed the heads of all those Pureblood Society bastards or whatever they’re called who did such things.’

Leo looked at Angr and smiled brightly.

“Don’t think about other things and work hard. That’s all you need to do.”

At Leo’s words, Angr’s eyes widened and soon his face turned slightly red.

‘He’s the same first-year as us, but he’s incredibly mature.’

Angr took out his notebook and copied down the magic formula written on the blackboard.

“Everyone! Let’s work hard! We’re going to show Seirun that we can do well too!”

Angr, who had taken on the class representative role, encouraged the students.

“Good!”

“Let’s do our best!”

The students cheered enthusiastically.

“Hmph, how noisy.”

At that moment, Elf students walking through the corridor outside the auditorium sneered.

“One Lower Class trash got lucky and beat Teacher Otren, so they seem to be getting cocky.”

“What are they trying to accomplish by working hard?”

The Upper 1st Class students sneered.

Watching this scene, Geras, the new homeroom teacher leading the Upper 1st Class students, spoke.

“Those who weren’t chosen sometimes get lost in the fantasy that they can beat the chosen ones through effort.”

Geras smiled brightly.

“You all just need to prove to them how meaningless the fantasy called effort is.”

At Geras’s words, the Upper 1st Class students showed triumphant expressions.

Creak-

At that moment, Eclaire slightly opened the auditorium door, saw the harmonious atmosphere of the Lower Class, and muttered.

“I’m envious.”

It was a stark contrast to the Upper 1st Class atmosphere where they kept each other in check and hid what they studied in order to somehow step on and climb over each other.

The sight of the entire class sharing what they studied with each other and laughing happily together was the very image of school life that Eclaire longed for.

“Student Eclaire.”

“Y-Yes?!”

“What are you looking at?”

Geras sent a cold gaze toward Eclaire.

“Student Eclaire, your position as grade representative is at stake based on this midterm exam results. Please have more tension.”

“Yes…”

Eclaire, who received Geras’s criticism, drooped her ears.

Watching such Eclaire, the upper class students giggled.

Then they sent hostile gazes toward Eclaire.

‘I don’t know about Rea, but I should be able to beat someone like Eclaire.’

‘After this midterm exam ends, I’ll definitely become the grade representative.’

Under her classmates’ gazes, Eclaire shrank her neck even more.

Tap-!

At that moment, the first-year second place, Elric, approached and tapped Eclaire’s back.

“Don’t mind them.”

“Yeah. I won’t mind them.”

Eclaire smiled brightly and glanced at the Lower Class’s main auditorium door before moving her steps.

“Now, everyone, please look forward to it. I’ll provide you with classes you’ve never experienced before.”

‘I’m different from that foolish Otren. I’ll prove that I’m the teacher who suits Upper 1st Class.’

He originally was in charge of Upper 2nd Class.

‘Upper 2nd Class was also insufficient for me.’

Geras showed a triumphant smile.

***

“How is Leo Flobe doing?”

“He’s mingling with the Lower Class students.”

“Hmph. How fitting.”

Rhagen snorted.

“I hope he learns even a little of our Seirun’s educational values.”

“Wouldn’t that be impossible?”

Orren curled up the corners of his mouth.

“By the way, Rhagen. Seirun’s Hero Record… are you really planning to incinerate it?”

Looking at Orren who asked carefully, Rhagen made a cold expression.

“Do you think that makes sense?”

At those words, Orren shrank his neck.

“I don’t know why Seirun left such a letter. But all of this is the path for our great Elves. Even if it means going against Seirun’s words, we have a duty to reveal Seirun’s Hero Record to the world.”

Rhagen stood up from his seat.

Looking down at the panoramic view of Seirun, Rhagen spoke.

“It’s an era when the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, Luna, transcends the Hero Record and descends to This Land.”

Rhagen’s eyes flashed.

“Is there a law saying Seirun shouldn’t do the same? Is there a law saying that person shouldn’t descend to This Land again?”

“There isn’t.”

“Right! That’s why we have a duty to protect Seirun’s Hero Record and pass it down to future generations.”

Rhagen, who curled up the corners of his mouth, spoke.

“If our entire race learns of the existence of Seirun’s Hero Record, they’ll all unite in joy. If that happens, even the Tingel Family will have no choice but to help with Seirun’s world conquest.”

Thud- Thud-

Rhagen stood in front of Seirun’s Hero Record.

“I’ll present it at this academic conference, so prepare thoroughly.”
