350

 

The highest place in Seirun.

 

At the Plaza of the Stars, which overlooked the entire view of Seirun, elves were conversing with worried voices.

 

“How exactly are we going to take responsibility for this?”

 

Rebett, who was in charge of overseeing the 2nd year, cast a cold gaze toward the teachers responsible for the 1st year upper classes.

 

Geras, the homeroom teacher of Upper Class 1 at the forefront, had his head bowed with a pale face.

 

“The entire upper class defeated by the lower class! How exactly did you teach the students to produce such results!”

 

At Rebett’s angry shout, Geras spoke with difficulty.

 

“I, I started teaching the Upper Class 1 students midway through…”

 

“Are you calling that an excuse now! Weren’t you in charge of Upper Class 2 before that!”

 

Geras turned pale at the sight of Rebett with veins bulging in his neck.

 

“At a time when there are already many foolish ones who don’t understand our grand purpose and harbor suspicions! To show such disgrace!”

 

“Teacher Rebett, please calm down for now.”

 

Orren adjusted his glasses.

 

“Certainly, we must determine responsibility for this incident. Our Pureblood Society’s prestige has been damaged. But before that.”

 

Orren looked at the teachers in charge of the 1st years with cold eyes and said.

 

“Investigating what happened in the lower class should be our top priority.”

 

Everyone’s gaze turned to Orren.

 

“Isn’t it strange? The lower class students who had no talent for Star Magic suddenly acquired such skills. There must definitely be some dishonest method. After all, Leo Flobe from Lumern was in the 1st year lower class.”

 

Hearing those words, Rebett stroked his chin.

 

“Certainly, if it’s that cunning fellow, he might have used some cowardly trick. But we can’t easily interrogate him, Teacher Orren. After all, he is Lumern’s student council president.”

 

Seeing Rebett’s displeased expression, Orren curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“We can’t interrogate Leo Flobe. But we can certainly interrogate Teacher Laura, who was in charge of the lower class.”

 

“We’ll need to prepare a hearing for Teacher Laura.”

 

At Rebett’s cold voice, Orren was smiling when.

 

Thud- Thud-

 

Acting Principal Rhagen appeared at the Plaza of the Stars.

 

The teachers who had been sitting stood up.

 

“Lord Rhagen. We were in the middle of a meeting about future countermeasures for this incident. The agenda items are…”

 

“I’ve received the report, so everyone may withdraw.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

At Rhagen’s sudden words, the teachers showed bewildered expressions.

 

“Didn’t you hear what I said?”

 

However, at the cold voice, everyone left the Plaza of the Stars, though they didn’t understand why.

 

Rhagen, left alone at the Plaza of the Stars, let out a deep sigh.

 

Then he turned his head to stare into the void and said.

 

“Would you care to explain how this came about?”

 

With those words, a dark red light flashed in the void.

 

The ominous light soon became a rectangle and formed the shape of a man.

 

[I don’t know what you’re talking about. My dear Rhagen.]

 

“Don’t play dumb. Do you think I don’t know your cunning schemes?”

 

Rhagen shouted angrily at the man beyond the magic, Hel Kaiser.

 

“Wasn’t this a plot to bring darkness to Seirun once again!”

 

[You’re misunderstanding.]

 

Hel Kaiser burst into laughter.

 

[It’s true that I lent you my power to make the young sprouts of Seirun that you cherish stand out, Rhagen. But my power, when it escapes my will, sometimes loses control. The summoning of the Skeleton King was merely such a case, not my intention.]

 

“I can’t believe that.”

 

[Whether you believe it or not is your freedom, Rhagen. But couldn’t a mere Skeleton King hardly do anything to Seirun?]

 

“That’s true.”

 

Rhagen said without dispelling his uncomfortable mood.

 

Watching such Rhagen, the expression disappeared from Hel Kaiser’s laughing face.

 

[Before that, I’d like to discuss our deal.]

 

“Ahem.”

 

At Hel Kaiser’s words, Rhagen cleared his throat.

 

[Rhagen. I certainly gave you clues to summon the Fairy King.]

 

Hel Kaiser’s eyes narrowed.

 

[The Comet Mage was a covenant holder of the Fairy King, though not known to the public, and I also told you that the key to achieving a covenant with the Fairy King, the elves’ long-cherished wish, was Cometes, the Comet Mage’s legacy, and his bloodline.]

 

“So Lea Tingel summoned the Fairy King!”

 

[That can’t be called a summoning. My dear Rhagen.]

 

“Ha! Despite my support, failing to summon isn’t my fault! What do you expect me to do about the summoner’s lack of qualifications!”

 

Watching Rhagen display his anger, Hel Kaiser said.

 

[Time is infinite for me, Rhagen. You’re the one short on time.]

 

Hel Kaiser curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“Kuk.”

 

[5000 years ago, the Fairy King who subjugated Erebos together with the Progenitor of the Starry Skies would surely know the whereabouts of the Erebos fragments. Find out the location of those fragments and subjugate them. In return, I’ll give you the remains of the Comet Mage that I possess. Don’t forget this deal.]

 

Rhagen glared at Hel Kaiser.

 

“You truly possess Lord Seirun’s remains, don’t you?”

 

[Yes. I was the one who recovered the bodies of the Heroes of the Cataclysm who lost their lives in the battle with Erebos. With your necromancy, it might even be possible to bring Seirun to this world.]

 

“If Lord Seirun’s remains are damaged even slightly, I won’t let you off. Overlord King.”

 

[There’s no need to worry about that. My dear Rhagen.]

 

Hel Kaiser burst into laughter.

 

[Then I’ll be expecting better news.]

 

Before the conversation ended.

 

Rhagen mocked Hel Kaiser.

 

“To become the true master of Tartaros by betraying and trying to kill your own master. The loyalty of demons is pathetic every time I see it.”

 

[I am a demon. While inheriting the will of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies and the Comet Mage to become their true successor and lead the elves might be a noble mission for elves… for demons, following a master who was subjugated long ago is nothing but foolish behavior. Your mockery only sounds like praise to me.]

 

Hel Kaiser, who burst into laughter, soon disappeared.

 

Rhagen, who had been watching that sight, snorted.

 

‘When I become a great hero, I’ll definitely subjugate you.’

 

***

 

“Even in an age when gods don’t exist, fanaticism still blinds people.”

 

At the words of Atkan, the Grand Duke of Funeral Rites, Hel Kaiser leaned back against the throne of corpses and said.

 

“That’s not fanaticism.”

 

Hel Kaiser said with an expressionless face.

 

“How could those who don’t even know gods understand fanaticism? That’s merely being blinded by stubbornness and desire.”

 

“Either way, isn’t it a blessed thing for us?”

 

At his subordinate’s words, Hel Kaiser rested his chin on his hand and fell into thought.

 

“What are you thinking about so deeply?”

 

“While there are those who lead the world to destruction through stubbornness and desire, there are also those who go against the great god’s will through foolishness.”

 

At Hel Kaiser’s irritated words, Atkan’s face hardened.

 

“Those eyes.”

 

Hel Kaiser, thinking of Leo, frowned.

 

“They resemble them.”

 

Hel Kaiser raged, recalling those who subjugated the gods.

 

Moreover, Leo Flobe was an all-class like the Hero of the Beginning.

 

On top of that, he possessed extraordinary power at a young age.

 

“It’s right to cut promising buds before they grow.”

 

Hel Kaiser curled up the corners of his mouth, and Atkan bowed his head.

 

“I shall obey your command.”

 

***

 

The Lower Class students were watching each other’s reactions.

 

Seeing the Lower Class students like this, Leo said.

 

“Why are you all being so cautious? It was the best exam, everyone should be enjoying it.”

 

The Lower Class classroom was currently holding a celebration party.

 

Originally it would have been a lively party atmosphere, but everyone was watching Leo’s reactions.

 

“Um… that Kail isn’t! That student council president from Lumern. Thank you for leading us. So… um…”

 

Angr shrank back not knowing what to say, and seeing that, Leo clicked his tongue.

 

“I’m just a student council president from another school, why are you all being so cautious?”

 

“Still, even if it’s another school, you’re clearly our senior… and you’re even a student council president.”

 

“We didn’t commit any rudeness or anything like that, did we?”

 

It was when Leo was about to burst into laughter at the Lower Class students’ words.

 

Creak-!

 

The Lower Class door opened.

 

“Hello everyone!”

 

Eclaire, who was invited to the celebration party, smiled brightly.

 

Then she became flustered seeing the Lower Class students watching Leo’s reactions.

 

“What are you doing in front? Aren’t you going in?”

 

Following behind her, Rea entered.

 

“Rea Tingel? What brings you here.”

 

“I heard there was a celebration party. I came to congratulate you too.”

 

Rea smiled slightly.

 

Seeing Rea like that, Angr smiled.

 

“Thank you.”

 

“I’m not the only one who came to congratulate you.”

 

“What?”

 

“What? Why is the atmosphere so gloomy? You’re today’s exam protagonists!”

 

“Aren’t you all enjoying yourselves?”

 

The Twina Siblings appeared behind Rea.

 

“Twina seniors?”

 

The Lower Class students showed surprised expressions.

 

It wasn’t just the Twina Siblings.

 

As famous 2nd year seniors followed behind and entered the Lower Class, everyone’s eyes widened.

 

“Even Senior Runia and Senior Eiran?!”

 

The Lower Class students showed bewildered expressions.

 

The last to appear were Herdium and Lora.

 

“1st year students, as a teacher of Seirun, I offer you my apologies.”

 

Herdium bowed his head.

 

“We knew you were facing discrimination, but we couldn’t do anything about it. To achieve such a triumph even in such difficult circumstances… your performance will bring great change to Seirun. Really… I’m truly proud of all of you.”

 

Seeing Herdium, a famous teacher at Seirun, Angr said urgently.

 

“No, not at all. It’s thanks to Teacher Laura and here… the student council president from Lumern.”

 

“If you’re going to keep calling me student council president so formally, just call me senior.”

 

When Leo sighed and spoke, Angr blushed slightly and said.

 

“Then, I’ll call you senior…”

 

Seeing that, Herdium said.

 

“Student Leo, I truly owe you a great debt. How should I repay this debt…”

 

“What did I do? The kids did everything well.”

 

Leo smiled slightly.

 

“Now, now! Let’s save the thanks for later.”

 

“Right! Everyone enjoy yourselves!”

 

Garin and Aris said with bright smiles.

 

The situation of the 1st year Lower Class was known to Runia and Eiran through what they had heard.

 

As the two siblings who had been in the Lower Class during their 1st year, 1st semester, they were proud of their juniors who achieved excellent results on the exam despite difficult circumstances.

 

The stiff atmosphere also relaxed with the seniors’ congratulations.

 

The Seirun 2nd years gathered around Leo.

 

“It’s a shame, since you came as an exchange student, it would have been nice to study together.”

 

Garin smacked his lips.

 

“By the way, you’re human but how do you handle Star Magic so well? Do you have some secret?”

 

“Thanks to studying hard.”

 

When Leo sipped his drink and spoke, Aris clicked her tongue.

 

“There it is, the honor student’s trademark. Studying hard.”

 

“Still, you must have had an excellent teacher, right?”

 

‘Luna wasn’t exactly an excellent teacher.’

 

Leo recalled when he learned Star Magic in the past.

 

‘No, why can’t you do this?’

 

Recalling that time, Leo burst into laughter.

 

“How long will you be at Seirun?”

 

Runia asked with a curious expression.

 

“I plan to stay until the academic conference presentation.”

 

***

 

In the basement of Comet’s Sanctum, the recovered Hero Record of Seirun was secretly stored.

 

Whoosh-

 

In an instant, black flames flickered.

 

As if trying to burst out.

 

The struggling black flames soon disappeared into the Hero Record as if being sucked in.
