“It’s Leo!”

 

“Ohh!”

 

“Leo’s back!”

 

As soon as he entered the dormitory, the Glory students cheered at the sight of Leo.

 

“Let’s have a party! A party! A welcome back party for our class president!”

 

Iliana, who loved flashy things, shouted with an excited face.

 

At Iliana’s cry, the dormitory students’ gazes turned to Chen Xia and Chloe.

 

The two, who were dormitory heads like Leo, were also the decision-makers of Glory.

 

Originally, Leo had the strongest voice in Glory.

 

However, Leo often followed others’ opinions rather than voicing his own when fellow dormitory students needed to decide something.

 

[It’s much more fun when the fresh kids make decisions rather than a boring old man making dull choices.]

 

Kirran giggled and muttered.

 

Leo was contemplating how to punish Kirran later when—

 

“It would be nice for dormitory mates to enjoy themselves together, just for today.”

 

“As expected of big sister!”

 

“Chen Xia! Chen Xia!”

 

The students cheered and chanted Chen Xia’s name.

 

“Since it’s a special occasion.”

 

When Chloe also agreed with a smile, the students burst into cheers.

 

“As expected of Glory’s mother!”

 

“Mom’s the best!”

 

“Why am I the mom?!”

 

Chloe shouted with a completely red face.

 

The mischievous students grinned broadly at this.

 

“All that nagging makes you just like a mom.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“You guys… do you know that’s incredibly rude to a fresh teenager? And Sia’s here too! Sia’s even older than me!”

 

“Chen Xia is big sister.”

 

“Right. Right.”

 

Leo burst into laughter watching them chat noisily and happily.

 

“Geez, really.”

 

Chloe, who had returned after punishing the students teasing her, sighed as if she couldn’t handle them.

 

The Glory students moved quickly to prepare for the welcome party.

 

Students going to prepare food and drinks.

 

Students gathering tables from the rest area.

 

Even students going to call those who hadn’t returned to the dormitory yet.

 

Leo chuckled watching the bustling dormitory.

 

“Seeing all this commotion makes me really feel like I’m back at Lumern.”

 

“How was Seirun?”

 

Chen Xia asked with a bright smile.

 

“It wasn’t bad.”

 

Leo answered with a smile.

 

“Chloe! Chen Xia! Can we invite kids from other dormitories too?”

 

“It’s Leo’s welcome party after all.”

 

“Great! I’ll invite Chelsea, Cal, Nella, and Taide too!”

 

“Invite Selia too.”

 

“I’ll just invite everyone close to our class president.”

 

The sociable Iliana was friends with all the 2nd years.

 

With the welcome party preparations finished, the party began in a lively atmosphere.

 

“What? So you took classes with the freshmen?”

 

“Amazing.”

 

“Hey! Is it okay to treat our school’s student council president like that?”

 

Many students burst with indignation hearing Leo’s story.

 

“It was quite an interesting experience. I got to know the level of Seirun’s freshmen too.”

 

At Leo’s words, Selia crossed her arms and asked.

 

“How did Lea Tingel compare to Aina?”

 

As Aina’s mentor, Selia was curious about the skills of Lea Tingel, who could be considered Aina’s rival.

 

Being a Lumern student, she couldn’t help but be concerned about the Lusejeon.

 

“Well, since one’s a knight and the other’s a mage, it’s hard to compare directly, but purely in terms of level, they’re about equal.”

 

“She’s quite formidable indeed.”

 

Selia stroked her chin.

 

“By the way, Leo, you cleverly thought to teach the Star Magic primer to Seirun’s freshmen.”

 

Chelsea said while picking up a cookie to eat.

 

The Department of Magic students knew that the Star Magic primer was considered heretical by the Elves.

 

To think of teaching that in the heart of Seirun.

 

“That’s so like you, Leo.”

 

Chelsea’s eyes sparkled.

 

“Those kids were that desperate.”

 

Leo had a lively conversation about what happened at Seirun.

 

“How was Lumern?”

 

At Leo’s question, Cal said.

 

“While you were gone, the 2nd years conquered Heroes’ World.”

 

“Oh?”

 

Leo let out an exclamation.

 

At Lumern, 1st year is the period for laying foundations as hero candidates.

 

And from 2nd year, they begin the process of truly becoming heroes.

 

That is conquering Heroes’ World through Hero Record.

 

From the beginning of the 2nd year semester, the heroics class had already introduced the Hero Records that Lumern students could conquer.

 

And during the month Leo was at Seirun, it seemed the other students had conquered Heroes’ World.

 

“By the way, I got an amazing conquest reward!”

 

Iliana suddenly popped up in front of Leo and shouted confidently.

 

“Even our class president should be nervous, right?”

 

“Acting proud when you almost failed to conquer it due to greed.”

 

“You were crying and wailing in terror until the day before.”

 

“You barely conquered it and got almost a failing grade, right?”

 

Jeers erupted from here and there.

 

Normally Iliana would have complained to Leo, but she wore a smug expression.

 

“Of course my score is low! But you all know well that it was worth it!”

 

Iliana, with her nose held high, burst into laughter. “Ohohohoho!”

 

It seemed this assignment gave better scores the faster you conquered, regardless of the Hero Record’s conquest difficulty.

 

Higher conquest difficulty naturally meant slower conquest.

 

Whether to get good grades immediately.

 

Or invest in the future for upcoming academic life.

 

‘Our school is really harsh when you look at it.’

 

They make students take responsibility for their choices.

 

The mentor system seemed to provide some breathing room, but they still relentlessly push students to survival crossroads.

 

Listening to the story, one of the top scorers was apparently Cal.

 

“I chose the lowest conquest difficulty.”

 

Cal shrugged his shoulders.

 

“Well, the conquest rewards might not be much for you guys, but there was a conquest reward that was perfect for me.”

 

“What was it?”

 

When Leo asked with interest, Cal grinned.

 

“An alchemy book.”

 

In Dweno’s World, Cal obtained Dweno’s alchemy book as a conquest reward.

 

However, with Cal’s current skill level, it was difficult to fully understand and utilize Dweno’s alchemy book.

 

Therefore, Cal chose to build a foundation for understanding Dweno’s alchemy book.

 

Leo smiled broadly.

 

“Thanks to that!”

 

Cal raised his thumb up with a snap!

 

“I think I’ll be able to make something amazing soon. If I do well, I could become filthy rich!”

 

“If you make another weird potion, the Student Council won’t leave you alone, will they?”

 

“Don’t worry! Once it’s complete, I’ll definitely get it inspected by the Student Council!”

 

***

 

“Everyone’s going crazy talking about Senior Leo.”

 

Juwen shook his head as he watched his classmates who were in a frenzy talking about Leo.

 

‘It’s definitely an issue.’

 

Being a mage to his very bones, Juwen knew all too well what it meant to receive Seirun’s recognition.

 

‘Just one year difference…’

 

Juwen clicked his tongue.

 

Juwen was currently one of the top students among the freshmen.

 

As such, he was aiming not only for class representative but even for the next Student Council President position.

 

In such a situation, Leo, who was one year above him and the current Student Council President, was showing tremendous achievements.

 

‘I’m getting intimidated for no reason.’

 

Juwen was trembling as he recalled Leo, whom he had fought several times before.

 

Thud- Thud-

 

Someone passed by Juwen’s side.

 

It was Aina, the current freshman class representative.

 

Behind Aina, her followers swarmed after her.

 

Seeing this, Juwen made a disgusted expression.

 

The Magic Studies Department and the Knight Department.

 

They were departments with a fierce rivalry that went back generations.

 

And Juwen was the top of the freshman Magic Studies Department while Aina was the top of the freshman Knight Department.

 

But aside from that, Juwen didn’t particularly like Aina herself.

 

‘Always acting like she’s not interested in others.’

 

Although they were in different departments, he couldn’t deny her skills.

 

An honor student in all aspects beyond just Knight Department classes.

 

Honestly speaking, it was true that she was outstanding enough to be evaluated as the successor to the Sword Saint, who was praised as a legendary hero who carried an era.

 

He couldn’t deny that she was superior to him in all aspects.

 

But even so, her attitude of acting as if others didn’t matter was enough to make Juwen angry.

 

‘If you look closely, she’s obsessed with Senior Leo to a strange degree, isn’t she?’

 

Juwen, who had been grumbling, spotted a young boy and widened his eyes.

 

Then he smiled and approached the boy, Luke.

 

“Did you come out after studying in the library?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“You’re really diligent.”

 

Juwen admired him.

 

Among the freshmen, Luke had long become an object of ridicule.

 

His midterm exam results were disastrous, and there was no sign of improvement whatsoever.

 

What made Luke even more pitiful was the fact that his mentor was none other than Leo Flobe.

 

‘It’s strange.’

 

Juwen always looked at Luke with an expression of incomprehension.

 

Juwen knew well how hard Luke was working.

 

‘He’s even getting magic tutoring from Professor Ren.’

 

That was what was strange.

 

‘Well, the other guys say he’s getting tutored by Professor Ren through Senior Leo’s connections. But that’s something only idiots would say.’

 

As the daughter of the Southern Magic Tower Lord, Juwen was well aware of Ren’s reputation.

 

A genius in the field of magical research.

 

A man who had absolutely no interest in anything other than magic.

 

Professor Ren was absolutely not the type to do worthless work simply because of a request from Leo, his beloved student.

 

‘There must be something.’

 

He didn’t know what it was.

 

Of course, setting everything aside, Juwen liked Luke.

 

During the entrance exam and during mentor selection too.

 

Luke had always overcome his limits.

 

This was in contrast to Juwen, who had acknowledged his limits and given up.

 

‘Most importantly.’

 

Aina, who had stopped walking at some point, was staring intently at Luke.

 

‘It’s also fun that she’s jealous.’

 

Juwen giggled.

 

Aina was conscious of Luke.

 

That was because Luke was Leo’s mentee.

 

A strange situation where the class representative was jealous of a failing student.

 

For Juwen, who had a twisted side, that sight was satisfying.

 

“I’m going to the 2nd Year Dormitory to meet Senior Cal right now. Do you want to come with me?”

 

“Yes! I also need to go because Senior Leo called for me!”

 

“Perfect! Let’s stop by the Noble Dormitory first and then go to Senior Leo!”

 

Juwen pushed Luke’s back as they walked.

 

And he stuck his tongue out at Aina, who was watching him and Luke.

 

Aina turned her head with an expressionless face and walked away.

 

***

 

Basement of Noble Dormitory.

 

The place where Magic Studies Department students had their personal workshops.

 

There, Cal was carefully brewing a potion while holding a reagent bottle.

 

He broke out in cold sweat as he studied Dweno’s alchemy book and exercised caution.

 

And…

 

Poof-!

 

Small smoke spread from the reagent bottle.

 

The contents inside the reagent bottle began to emit a golden light.

 

“…Holy shit. Is this for real?”

 

Cal’s voice trembled.

 

“What? This actually works?”

 

Although he had boasted to Leo, he never actually thought he would be able to make such an incredible item.

 

Cal gulped down his dry saliva and put the reagent into the potion bottle with trembling hands.

 

From now on, he had to report to the Student Council.

 

‘But even though I made it, the Student Council will never allow me to sell it anyway.’

 

Cal sighed with an “Ugh!”

 

‘There’s no way they’d let me sell something like a love potion, right?’
