359

 

Early morning.

 

“Huaaaam.”

 

Cal yawned lazily as he headed out to the dormitory lounge.

 

Cal’s mornings were early.

 

Being diligent by nature, he would wake up at dawn to prepare for his daily routine.

 

Of course, most of it was spent conceptualizing business items through alchemy rather than school studies or magic training, but he was still the second earliest riser in the Noble Dormitory.

 

Cal scratched his belly as he stepped outside the dormitory.

 

And seeing Duran already sprinting at full speed from the morning, he clicked his tongue.

 

‘He’s really a training machine.’

 

The earliest riser in the Noble Dormitory was none other than Duran.

 

Duran would start physical training from the morning.

 

A personality that wouldn’t hesitate to make any effort to become stronger.

 

Thanks to such dedication, he was considered one of the top honor students in Noble along with Avad.

 

Of course, Eliza was also an honor student grade-wise, but her class attitude was rather insincere, so she often drew glares from professors.

 

‘She’s just a delinquent student with good grades.’

 

Clicking his tongue, Cal approached the mailbox at the dormitory entrance.

 

Every morning.

 

Basically, the Lumern School newspaper was delivered to the students’ dormitories.

 

It looked like an ordinary school newspaper about daily school life.

 

But the moment you made a ‘personal subscription’, the quality of the newspaper changed.

 

Not only major information within the school, but also restaurant events within the academy and even predictive analysis of school schedules.

 

You could even get more information depending on your subscription level.

 

‘The merchant club is decent, but the newspaper club wouldn’t have been bad either.’

 

Cal, who was known as the 2nd year information broker and thought joining the newspaper club wouldn’t have been bad either, picked up the thick paper envelope with his name on it.

 

‘Really, how much am I getting ripped off each month?’

 

Shedding tears of blood internally, he unfolded the newspaper.

 

And seeing the headline printed as large as a door on the newspaper, his eyes widened.

 

[Miracle Following the Return of the Progenitor! The Return of the Comet Mage!]

 

“Wow? What’s this? This is amazing!”

 

Normally, he wouldn’t have easily believed this sudden newspaper.

 

But Cal was someone who had witnessed with his own two eyes the Hero of the Beginning and the Progenitor of the Starry Skies revealing themselves in the present world last winter.

 

“Just how many more secrets and powers are hidden in the Hero Record?”

 

Following the Great Hero, even the Hero of the Cataclysm.

 

This situation where the greatest heroes in world history were revealing themselves was absolutely amazing.

 

‘By the way, that Leo guy really has incidents happening wherever he goes.’

 

This time too, when he said he was going to Seirun as an exchange student, most students thought he would get involved in some incident.

 

And that prediction hit the mark perfectly.

 

Cal read through the front page of the newspaper with an excited expression.

 

As he was also from the Department of Magic, his heart couldn’t help but race at the news that Seirun, who could be called a legend of magic, had appeared in the present world.

 

Cal, who was reading page 2 after opening the milk delivered in the morning with a ‘pop’, spat out the milk with a ‘pffft!’

 

“Cough! Cough! Keh-hek!”

 

Duran, who had just finished his physical training, approached Cal who was coughing like crazy with milk going down the wrong way.

 

“What are you making a fuss about again?”

 

Cal showed the newspaper to Duran, who was making an exasperated expression.

 

A rare look of surprise crossed Duran’s face as he checked the newspaper.

 

[Successor of Seirun, Leo Flobe.]

 

Through the miracle of the Hero Record, a hero candidate who inherited Cometes from the Comet Mage who revealed herself in the present world was born. That was none other than Leo Flobe…(omitted)

 

Duran muttered as he read through the article.

 

“Hmph. He’s becoming more and more worth chasing.”

 

Duran, who curled up the corner of his mouth, tossed the newspaper back to Cal and started sprinting at full speed like crazy again.

 

‘At that level, isn’t it almost obsession rather than dedication?’

 

Clicking his tongue at Duran’s appearance, Cal looked at the newspaper.

 

‘He’s not just involved in incidents, he’s at the center of them.’

 

“Is this guy really something like that? A bewitching existence.”

 

Seeing his friend who constantly stood at the center of attention, Cal could only shake his head.

 

***

 

Murmur- Murmur-

 

Around the Tower of Heroes in the center of Lumern was a restaurant district where numerous restaurants established within Lumerne Academy were gathered.

 

It was a place where you could experience various cuisines from different cultures and even taste dishes from other races.

 

It was also a famous spot in Lumern that external visitors would definitely stop by when visiting Lumern.

 

Every lunchtime, the restaurant district was bustling with many students.

 

And as many students gathered, various topics of conversation were always exchanged on the streets.

 

Stories related to academics or recent global issues.

 

It was also a place where active discussions took place.

 

But today, there was only one topic.

 

“Leo oppa really becomes the center of attention wherever he goes.”

 

Chelsea, who had found a seat in the restaurant district with her friends after the morning Department of Magic classes ended, said with sparkling eyes.

 

Iliana, who was chewing on a big bite of pizza, said.

 

“Does the class president have no limits?”

 

Seeing Iliana tilting her head, Chelsea reached for the last remaining pizza.

 

Then Iliana, who hurriedly stuffed pizza into her mouth, quickly grabbed the pizza.

 

“Hey! Iliana, you!”

 

“Hmph!”

 

“You’re not even 10-year-old boys, why are you being so childish over one slice of pizza?”

 

Cal sighed.

 

“Oh, aren’t these my lovely disciples!”

 

Then a familiar voice was heard from behind.

 

Ren, holding a newspaper in his hand, was looking at Chelsea, Cal, and Iliana with a benevolent expression.

 

The three people stood up from their seats and greeted him.

 

“Professor Ren, hello. You came for lunch?”

 

“Yes. I promised to buy lunch for Senior Ain and Senior Yura today, so I came here.”

 

Ren pointed behind him.

 

Ain and Yura were sitting there.

 

“But what were you talking about so happily? Don’t tell me!”

 

Ren raised his voice.

 

“Were you talking about the pride of our Lumern Magic Department! Student Leo!?”

 

Cal and Chelsea smiled awkwardly seeing Ren shouting as if for everyone to hear.

 

And Iliana shrank her neck and glanced at Ain.

 

Iliana, being a magic swordsman, had a foot in both the Knight Academy and the Department of Magic.

 

She was achieving excellent grades in both, but it was time to choose her main department soon.

 

Since she was trying to choose the more advantageous side by reading the situation, she had to look good to both Ren, who was the department professor, and Ain.

 

“Student Iliana! You should choose your department soon, shouldn’t you! Since you consulted with me about your career path before, you must be thinking of choosing the Department of Magic over the Knight Academy after all?!”

 

‘Kyaaaaaaaa!’

 

Iliana screamed internally.

 

When she glanced at Ain while reading the situation, he was making his characteristic cold smile and exclaiming ‘Oh?’

 

At that moment, Chelsea and Cal exchanged glances.

 

“That’s right, Professor Ren. Iliana consulted with us about choosing her department too. Right, Cal?”

 

“Of course, of course. She said she wanted to stay in the Department of Magic with us.”

 

“Huhuhut! As expected, Student Iliana was thinking of the path of a mage! Good! Very good!”

 

Ren left with a satisfied expression.

 

“If my school life gets messed up, it’s all because of you guys.”

 

“Well, who told you to two-time?”

 

“Right. Right. You shouldn’t do that.”

 

Chelsea and Cal giggled as they watched Iliana make an expression as if her soul was leaving her body.

 

Meanwhile, Yura spoke as if she couldn’t believe it.

 

“He’s really acting like Leo belongs to the Department of Magic.”

 

“Let him enjoy it.”

 

Yura chuckled at Ain’s words.

 

“Ain, you’re not in a position to be so relaxed, are you? Leo is a contractor of the three great divine beasts! Would such a Leo choose the Knight Department?”

 

“Hehe. You’re harboring useless hope, Professor Yura.”

 

Professor Ren, who was sitting in front of the two, smiled elegantly.

 

“Student Leo, who became Seirun’s successor, choosing the Summoning Department? Oh my, oh my. How could you be so foolish.”

 

“Hey… he’s a contractor of the three great divine beasts, you know? It’s unprecedented in summoning history! Unprecedented!”

 

“I agree with that opinion! Unprecedented! An unprecedented mage who contracted with the three great divine beasts despite being a mage!”

 

“We can’t communicate.”

 

“It’s impossible for a rational person based on cool reasoning to communicate with an irrational person swayed by emotions.”

 

“So you’re saying you want to die?”

 

When Yura grabbed his collar, Ren shook his head.

 

“Resorting to violence when words don’t work, how arrogant.”

 

“Die!”

 

“P-Professors! Violence isn’t allowed in the store!”

 

The employees rushed out and urgently tried to stop the two.

 

“Let’s bet lunch money. I vote for Professor Yura to win.”

 

“I’m for Professor Ren.”

 

“I’m also for Professor Yura.”

 

The freshmen in the cafeteria looked completely flustered, but the upperclassmen who had already gotten used to the school made bets with calm faces.

 

Of course, no result came from the match.

 

Ren and Yura, who had been bickering for a while, were subdued by Ain.

 

During the now-quiet meal time, a bird-shaped familiar flew into the cafeteria and came to Ren.

 

“What’s that?”

 

“Associate Professor Anna sent me an urgent report about the academic conference presentation.”

 

Ren smiled proudly as he opened the letter envelope.

 

The letter contained details about the presentation on [Introduction to Star Magic].

 

“Ho, the elves showed a very positive reaction to my thesis. Hehe. Well, if they have any brains, they wouldn’t dare disparage a paper I wrote.”

 

Just as Ren was reading the letter carefully with a smug expression and was about to look at the next page.

 

Flutter~

 

A photograph that had been tucked in the letter envelope fell to the floor.

 

Ren’s face, who picked up the photo with a puzzled expression, hardened stiffly.

 

Ren’s shoulders trembled.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“I need to go to Seirun right now…! Right now!”

 

Ren shot up from his seat with a hardened face and rushed out of the restaurant.

 

“Hey! Pay the bill before you go!”

 

Yura shouted in dissatisfaction.

 

Ain frowned and reached for the photo Ren had been looking at.

 

“Professor Ain, Professor Yura. Is something wrong? Professor Ren rushed out in a hurry.”

 

Chelsea, Cal, and Iliana, who had finished eating and were about to leave, approached with puzzled faces.

 

At Chelsea’s question, Ain clicked his tongue and showed the photo to the three.

 

There was a group photo of Seirun students.

 

Leo was also in the photo.

 

A photo of Leo naturally mingling with Seirun students while wearing a Seirun uniform.

 

“Would Leo transfer schools just because he wore a Seirun uniform? He’s our school’s student council president. That guy Ren is sick at this point, sick.”

 

Yura clicked her tongue.

 

Chelsea muttered in response.

 

“We’re not going to have a proper magic class this afternoon.”

 

“Hooray!”

 

“Self-study!”

 

Cal and Iliana cheered.

 

***

 

That afternoon after school.

 

Lumern was noisy with a new issue.

 

“Think about it, he was chosen as Seirun’s successor, right? Would Seirun let him go?”

 

“Come on, what kind of place is Seirun? Would they accept Leo, a human, as a student?”

 

“Who knows, Leo’s star magic is at an amazing level.”

 

Even while walking through the courtyard after classes ended, talk about Leo could be heard constantly.

 

Cal, who had left the Magic Department building, glanced at Ren’s back as he trudged back to the professor’s office.

 

Chloe sighed as she watched Ren, who looked somewhat absent-minded.

 

“Leo needs to come back quickly so we can have proper classes.”

 

“Why? I really liked this afternoon’s class.”

 

“…You liked self-study?”

 

“I did!”

 

Chloe rolled her eyes and Cal was giggling when.

 

Duran and Eliza happened to be passing by.

 

“Hmph. It wouldn’t be bad if Leo Flobe transferred to Seirun.”

 

“That’s right. If he becomes a Seirun student, he’d become an opponent we’d have to completely defeat. Rather than the lukewarm relationship of being at the same school, having clear competition wouldn’t be bad either.”

 

Chloe and Cal simultaneously looked at Ren after hearing their conversation.

 

Before they knew it, Ren had taken out his wand from his chest and was pointing it at the two.

 

“Professor Ren! I have something I want to ask you!”

 

Chloe urgently ran to Ren.

 

“Why of all times are you passing in front of the Magic Department building!”

 

Cal pushed the two’s backs with a pale face to get them out of Ren’s sight.

 

“How dare you push me? You must not fear the consequences.”

 

“You’ve lost your sense of fear, Cal Thomas!”

 

“The ones who’ve lost their sense of fear are you! You!”

 

Just as Cal was urgently shouting.

 

“You all get along well.”

 

A familiar voice was heard.

 

Cal’s eyes widened as he turned his head.

 

There stood Leo and Anna with travel bags.

 

“Leo, when did you get here?”

 

When Cal asked in surprise, Leo smiled brightly.

 

“Just now.”
