404.

 

As the mission training concluded and the 1st and 2nd year students returned to Lumern, Lumern regained its vitality.

 

Lumern is a school where students must constantly compete and strive to survive.

 

As a result, dropouts occur in each grade every year.

 

That’s why the 1st and 2nd year students make up the largest portion of Lumern’s population.

 

With all those 1st and 2nd year students away for mission training, it was true that Lumern itself seemed to have fewer people.

 

“See, school is the best. Outside the academy is dangerous. You just suffer like hell~ How nice is it to just study like this?”

 

After the morning magic class ended, Cal stretched and spoke.

 

At his words, Chloe, who was organizing her textbooks, smiled slightly.

 

“Really? Then shall we take this opportunity to review today’s lesson?”

 

“Sorry. I get allergic reactions when I hear the word ‘review.'”

 

Cal said cheekily.

 

Looking at Cal like that, Chloe narrowed her eyes.

 

“Final exams are coming up soon, what are you planning to do?”

 

Chloe said with narrowed eyes.

 

At Chloe’s words, Cal burst out laughing. “Hahaha!”

 

“Tomorrow’s sun will rise tomorrow!”

 

At those words, Chelsea, who was leaving the lecture hall with Avad, widened her eyes.

 

“Do you even have a sun?”

 

“That’s a bit too harsh.”

 

“But it’s true, isn’t it? Cal, your school life is dark. Just like Selia Jerdinger’s hair color.”

 

At Chelsea’s merciless words, Cal laughed sadly.

 

In the midst of this, Avad spoke.

 

“Personally, I hope you survive, Cal.”

 

At Avad’s words, Cal, who was leaning back in his chair, sighed. “Ugh-”

 

“You think I don’t want to? In that spirit, could you help me make a cheat sheet?”

 

“Cal.”

 

When Chloe glared at him, Cal shrugged his shoulders.

 

“It’s a joke, a joke. Well, Avad isn’t the type to participate in that kind of thing anyway.”

 

Avad Rwallin, the 2nd year’s top handsome boy who always wore a gentle smile, was quite cold and resolute despite his soft appearance.

 

He was the opposite type from Chelsea, who continued to look after others even while speaking harshly.

 

“By the way, what do you think the final exam practical assignment will be?”

 

“The midterm assignment was familiars.”

 

“There weren’t any particularly special classes this time, were there?”

 

Chloe, Chelsea, and Avad discussed the assignment.

 

Listening to their conversation from the side, Cal muttered.

 

“Sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t be here.”

 

“Why?”

 

When Leo, who was packing his textbooks, asked, Cal shook his head.

 

“Anyone can see this is a gathering of grade-top honor students.”

 

At those words, Leo chuckled and stood up from his seat.

 

“Going to eat lunch?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“I’ll come with you.”

 

When Cal stood up from his seat, Leo said.

 

“I have a prior engagement today.”

 

“A prior engagement? Can I come along?”

 

“There’s no reason you can’t. I’m supposed to eat with the student council.”

 

Cal’s face darkened.

 

For Cal, who had been dragged to the student council due to the drug incident before, the student council was something he wanted to avoid.

 

Recalling that memory and shuddering, Cal said.

 

“I won’t go.”

 

At those words, Leo burst into laughter.

 

“What about you guys?”

 

“We have a prior engagement today. We’re supposed to have a meal with students from Rodren.”

 

Avad said with a smile.

 

“I also have a lunch appointment with Selia today.”

 

Chloe said she had an appointment with Selia, her best friend.

 

“Then I’ll see you later.”

 

Leo nodded and left the lecture hall.

 

***

 

The student council of the Tower of Heroes.

 

“Oh, if it isn’t the student council president?”

 

Seeing Leo entering the student council, a 5th year student council member showed a pleased expression.

 

“Hello, senior.”

 

“Since Hark and Elena are absent, you’re coming to work at the student council, Leo.”

 

The 5th year male student, Toren, showed a curious expression.

 

The two core members who were currently the main force of student council work, Hark and Elena, were away on dispatch missions to Eleheum, each leading their own dungeon conquest parties.

 

As the two students who competed for the strongest in their grade, it was natural for them to be dispatched to Eleheum where a large-scale hero dungeon had occurred.

 

As a result, there was no one to manage the student council, so Leo, who had been hands-off with student council work, came to the student council.

 

“You’re not only the youngest student council president in Lumern’s history, but you’ll probably be the first ghost member student council president too.”

 

“I’m still a 2nd year. I need to learn diligently until you seniors graduate.”

 

When Leo said this with a smile, Toren made a strange expression.

 

“From what I can see, you’ll probably ignore student council work even when you become a 5th year.”

 

“No way.”

 

Leo shrugged cheekily, but Toren didn’t believe those words.

 

And for good reason – no matter how much he was the student council president, he was currently the 5th year top.

 

This was Leo, who could boss around even Hark, the official strongest of Lumern, without batting an eye.

 

Toren had studied with Hark for five years as a classmate in the Knight Academy.

 

‘I can say with certainty that Hark is having the most difficult school days of his life right now.’

 

Hark had been the 1st year top since his first year.

 

As the heir to Ligard, one of Lumern’s three great families, even seniors had never treated him carelessly.

 

He did whatever he wanted every single day, but his school grades were also at the top of his year.

 

Although he had a bad relationship with Elena Jeron, who was one year below him, even Elena, called the queen of Lumern, and her faction couldn’t dare treat Hark carelessly.

 

And last year, a student appeared who tormented that Hark.

 

That was Leo.

 

Toren shook his head.

 

‘Probably when we graduate, Leo will dump the student council work on Elena Jeron.’

 

And when Elena graduates?

 

‘He’ll dump it on Lil.’

 

Lil Ruche, the grade representative one year above.

 

She was also an extremely outstanding student.

 

And when even Lil graduated, he would definitely dump the student council work on his excellent classmates.

 

‘Well, it’s not related to me.’

 

Toren shrugged and said.

 

“There’s a fairly important matter today that requires your approval, so I called you.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Let’s talk about that when the other kids arrive.”

 

Toren said while organizing documents.

 

At that moment, a 4th year female student from the Knight Academy entered the student council.

 

“Ah, Young Master Leo. You were here first. I should have come to escort you.”

 

Niel Roda.

 

A member of the Roda family, a vassal house of Jerdinger, and also Selia’s knight.

 

Originally she was in the art club, but after Leo became student council president, she joined the student council to help with student council work.

 

It was both her will and her family’s will.

 

The Jerdinger family wanted to solidify Leo’s position as much as possible, as he had become the youngest student council president after Ris.

 

Originally, the conditions for joining the student council were quite strict, but since Niel was an honor student, there were no major problems.

 

“Hello, Senior Toren.”

 

Niel greeted him with a bright smile.

 

A moment later.

 

The student council door opened and a 5th-year Department of Magic student entered.

 

Niel’s face crumpled when she saw his face.

 

It was none other than Marsel Rugia, who was from a vassal family of the Rwallin house.

 

Naturally, he and Niel were sworn enemies.

 

“It’s been a while, Young Master Leo.”

 

Marcell treated Leo respectfully.

 

Leo was from Jerdinger, but before that, he was a friend of Chelsea and Avad, and furthermore, he was a mage who had achieved tremendous accomplishments in the magic world at a young age.

 

Although he was a senior and older, Marcell had sufficient reason to treat Leo politely.

 

“I heard Chelsea arranged for Rodren Empire students to eat together, but you didn’t go there?”

 

“I’m busy with student council work. It’s quite unfortunate, but I think I need to eat quickly and get to work, so I came here.”

 

Most of the upperclassman student council members were absent, having followed Hark and Elena to Eleheum.

 

Therefore, among the students remaining in the student council, these three were all the upperclassmen who could discuss important matters.

 

“Well then, let’s start the student council agenda. First, it’s about club budgets before summer vacation.”

 

Toren, who served as secretary, looked at Marcell with a cold expression.

 

“Marcell. The Magic Engineering Club asked to increase their budget again this time. In preparation for the Lusejeon in the second semester.”

 

“That’s right. Magic engineering inevitably requires a large budget.”

 

At Marcell’s words, Niel narrowed her eyes.

 

“Still, this is going too far. Senior Hark always passed budget increases with his vice president authority, but this seems a bit excessive.”

 

The two from the Knight Academy raised objections, but Marcell didn’t bat an eye.

 

“I’ve already finished discussing this with Hark. Or should I call Jeim Dect? He would explain well why we need more budget.”

 

At Marcell’s words, Toren pressed his temple.

 

‘If we call him, he’ll probably foam at the mouth and say incomprehensible things.’

 

Jeim Dect was from the Department of Magic but was a close friend who had been friendly with Hark since their first year.

 

That’s why Hark had granted Jeim’s request.

 

Of course, it was true that the Magic Engineering Club had achieved many excellent results this year, but it was still difficult to allocate additional budget.

 

Then Leo, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, spoke.

 

“Should I go and talk to him? Or would you go and speak well with him, Senior Marcell?”

 

At Leo’s words, Marcell, who had been pondering, began to think for a moment.

 

Then he soon nodded obediently.

 

“I’ll explain well to Jeim.”

 

“Then let’s decide against additional budget allocation.”

 

Watching Leo easily resolve the Magic Engineering Club’s additional budget allocation issue, Toren said.

 

“That guy Jeim will come running here foaming at the mouth, won’t he?”

 

“He absolutely won’t come. If he’s not convinced, I’ll go find him. Well, Senior Jeim wouldn’t want to talk with me though.”

 

Jeim Dect, the head of the Magic Engineering Club, would have fits and run away whenever he saw Leo.

 

Last year, he had looked down on Leo, a first-year student council president, and tried to swindle more budget, but instead nearly faced budget cuts.

 

For mages conducting magical research, the most terrifying words in the world were ‘budget cuts.’

 

In that sense, for Jeim, the existence of the student council president, who was an absolute authority figure capable of logically cutting the Magic Engineering Club’s budget, was more frightening than the grim reaper.

 

Thus, starting with club matters, the student council discussion proceeded.

 

A moment later.

 

Toren brought up the last agenda item.

 

“There’s one agenda item that came from the Academy board of directors just before today’s meeting.”

 

Everyone looked puzzled at Toren’s words.

 

It was rare for the Lumern board of directors to directly deliver agenda items.

 

“You all know that the world is buzzing about this year’s 1st and 2nd year mission training, right?”

 

Everyone nodded at Toren’s words.

 

The 1st and 2nd years had finished all their schedules and returned to the Academy, resuming their daily lives.

 

However, the ripple effects from the Eleheum incident were still not concluded.

 

“Discussion about the Eleheum problem, and issues regarding last year’s [Return of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies] and the recent [Return of the Comet Mage]. It was discussed at various Hero Academies that there’s a need for a place to discuss these various problems in depth.”

 

Toren handed the documents to Leo, the student council president.

 

Seeing it, Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

“World Summit?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Toren nodded.

 

“Aligned with the final exam schedule. The [World Summit] will be held at Lumern.”
