405.

 

“World Summit?”

 

Cal’s eyes widened at Leo’s story.

 

Not just Cal, but everyone having dinner together showed surprised reactions.

 

World Summit.

 

Literally meaning a meeting where the world’s power holders gather.

 

Its beginning was 3000 years ago.

 

The location where the first World Summit was held was none other than Dragonnia, and the one who gathered the world’s leaders in one place was none other than Rodia, the Dragon of Cataclysm.

 

The reason the World Summit was held was the return of Erebos.

 

The attendees were Lumern, Seirun, Ajonia, and Demian, who are now called the Heroes of Cataclysm, along with the heroes they led, all gathered in one meeting.

 

Since then, World Summits have been held whenever major events occurred in the world.

 

There are five main locations.

 

Summits were held at the Four Hero Academies, led by Dragonnia.

 

“Wow, a summit! So all the world’s power holders will gather at Lumern?”

 

Iliana stuck out her tongue.

 

“Probably? Attending the meeting isn’t mandatory, but just not participating in the summit could leave you behind by not properly following the flow of world affairs. Most will likely attend.”

 

“Chloe, how do you know all that stuff?”

 

“Books.”

 

When Iliana asked, Chloe pointed to the book in her hand.

 

“The library is closed though.”

 

“Yeah. I happened to have a book about World Summits stored in my extradimensional space.”

 

“…You store books in extradimensional space?”

 

For Iliana, who lived disconnected from books except for textbooks, magic books, and swordsmanship manuals, this was like a culture shock.

 

“But they don’t hold them often, right?”

 

“Of course. Given their tremendous influence and impact, the conditions for holding them are extremely strict. Not only do the Four Hero Academies need to agree, but ultimately the Dragon Lord’s permission is required.”

 

Cal stroked his chin and muttered.

 

“The last World Summit was held about 100 years ago?”

 

“Exactly 97 years ago.”

 

“Wow.”

 

A grand meeting that might happen once in a lifetime.

 

They would witness this historical moment from very close by.

 

“My heart is racing somehow.”

 

Iliana grumbled at Cal’s muttering.

 

“My heart is racing, but we’re also getting stuck with troublesome work. We’ll be crazy busy preparing to welcome guests, won’t we?”

 

“Right. There will be many people wanting to see our school’s students during this opportunity.”

 

“We might have to prepare to show something to those people.”

 

“We’re already busy preparing for final exams, and now we have to be treated like zoo animals too?”

 

Complaints erupted from here and there at Iliana’s words.

 

Originally, when schools had major events, students suffered in various ways.

 

In the midst of this, Selia spoke.

 

“Does the World Summit being held mean the ‘Silent Dragon’ has finally broken her silence?”

 

The students’ eyes widened at those words.

 

Silent Dragon.

 

This was Mellina’s epithet, given because she had rarely shown herself for a long time.

 

“It feels like it will be a noteworthy meeting in many ways.”

 

The fact that world history was moving could be clearly felt.

 

In the midst of this, Chelsea said to Leo.

 

“Leo will be the busiest this time.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because you’re student council president. Don’t you have a lot to prepare?”

 

Chelsea said while bringing the dessert cake to her mouth with a fork.

 

Leo chuckled watching Chelsea stuff cake in her cheeks like a squirrel and chew.

 

“I have many capable seniors above me, so what would I be busy with?”

 

“Doesn’t the vice president still have time left before returning from his mission?”

 

“He does.”

 

“Then until then, don’t you have to prepare for the meeting?”

 

“I don’t need to. Senior Hark will handle it. Senior Hark is the type whose efficiency goes up when time is tight.”

 

Everyone shook their heads watching Leo casually say something that would have made Hark grab his neck and charge at him if he heard.

 

‘Isn’t Leo afraid of Senior Hark?’

 

Even after spending a year at Lumern and having juniors, many 2nd years were still afraid of seniors.

 

Especially Hark, who was the strongest 5th year and heir to one of Lumern’s three prestigious families.

 

Leo was only thinking about making such a Hark work for him.

 

Everyone looked at Leo as if they were fed up.

 

In the midst of this, when Leo got up to put away his tray, Iliana quickly spoke.

 

“I’m really glad to be in the same year as Leo.”

 

“Right. If he were a senior or junior, we would have been worked to death.”

 

Chelsea nodded as if agreeing with Iliana’s words.

 

“Student council president’s power usually comes from executive ability, but Leo seems unrelated to such things.”

 

When Selia also rested her chin and muttered, Chloe nodded.

 

“Right. He’s completely got Senior Hark wrapped around his finger. Senior Hark has the real power, but… it feels like he’s ultimately being played by Leo.”

 

“Let’s offer our condolences to our seniors.”

 

Iliana clasped her hands as if praying.

 

Watching such friends, Cal clicked his tongue.

 

“You guys know one thing but not two.”

 

“What?”

 

Chelsea looked at Cal with a puzzled expression.

 

“Hey. What do you think is the reason Leo makes seniors work for him?”

 

“Because he doesn’t want to work and wants to be comfortable.”

 

Everyone looked at Iliana as if she were pathetic at her answer.

 

“Are you Leo?”

 

“Even if you think about it.”

 

“Chloe! The kids from other dormitories are ignoring me!”

 

Iliana complained to Chloe with a tearful face, but Chloe also agreed with that sentiment.

 

Watching this, Cal spoke.

 

“Leo makes seniors work for him because they’re capable. When such seniors graduate, who do you think he’ll make work?”

 

Everyone’s faces hardened at those words.

 

“The current seniors’ appearance is your future.”

 

Cal giggled.

 

“Well, it’s the sorrow of capable honor students with good grades. Hahaha! I won’t be made to work by Leo anyway since I have no ability.”

 

Cal laughed confidently.

 

The other classmates narrowed their eyes watching such Cal.

 

‘Somehow it seems like you’ll be worked the hardest.’

 

The Leo that everyone here had experienced was a human who would somehow find the opponent’s strengths and work them to the bone and beyond.

 

“Should I tell him? That Cal seems like he’ll be worked to the bone the most?”

 

Iliana grinned at Chelsea’s muttering.

 

“Let him enjoy it.”

 

“Why? He’s annoying.”

 

“His grades are rock bottom, but the kid will suffer the most, so it’s pitiful.”

 

Chelsea, who had been tilting her head at Iliana’s words, soon nodded.

 

***

 

Among the freshmen facing the major academic event called the World Summit, there was a buzz of energy.

 

“The time has come to show my skills to the world.”

 

“Ah~ What should I do if I get scouted by a kingdom with stronger national power than ours?”

 

“I wonder if there will be sponsorship offers too? I know quite a few seniors have gotten those.”

 

The freshmen showed excited reactions.

 

Most of them wore smug expressions.

 

Especially with the World Summit being held right before the final exams, it was enough to inflate their expectations.

 

No matter how much they were Hero Candidates, it was rare for freshmen to show off their skills in front of world leaders.

 

The final exams were a place to show all the achievements from the past semester.

 

Since they had clearly felt their growth during the first semester, all the freshmen were overflowing with confidence.

 

The students gathered in the First-year Classroom Building Auditorium were busy chatting, each filled with dreams.

 

Watching this scene, Luke said.

 

“Everyone seems excited about the final exams.”

 

“Aren’t you excited?”

 

At Luke’s muttering, Havedon, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes and spoke.

 

“I think I’d be grateful just to be able to attend Lumern for the second semester somehow.”

 

Luke said with an awkward smile.

 

Then snickering sounds came from here and there.

 

“Pfft, did you hear that?”

 

“He says his goal is to attend Lumern for the second semester too.”

 

“Wow, how shameless. To think of attending school for the second semester with those grades.”

 

“Isn’t he acting like that because he trusts the Student Council President?”

 

“That must be it.”

 

“But even if he has the Student Council President’s backing, isn’t it too unfair for a failing student to attend school?”

 

“Right.”

 

“Won’t the Student Council President get expelled along with that guy?”

 

“That would be interesting.”

 

“Nah. No way. They’ll just expel that guy.”

 

“That’s unfair in its own way!”

 

Mocking ridicule poured out from everywhere.

 

“You’re being noisy, so stop barking and shut your mouths.”

 

At Havedon’s cold words, the students who had been mocking Luke showed indignant reactions.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“Are you done talking?”

 

Havedon was second place in the Knight Department.

 

Among all freshmen, he was a top-tier student within the top five.

 

Usually, most people couldn’t get angry at such words from Havedon, but these were different.

 

The so-called Aina line.

 

In other words, they were students who followed Aina around and formed a faction.

 

Factions were like a tradition at Lumern.

 

Though it was a school where talents from all over the world gathered, there were bound to be overwhelming talents among them.

 

And people naturally gathered around those with heroic potential.

 

The representative faction of the 5th years was Hark Faction, and Elena Faction was famous among the 4th years.

 

For the 3rd years, Lil stood out, but due to Lil’s nature and the students’ strong individualistic tendencies.

 

The 2nd years had so many outstanding students that initially there were signs of splitting into various factions.

 

Among the faculty, there were concerns that they might become a fragmented generation before the golden generation, but now they had become the generation with the least factional tendencies.

 

And the current freshmen.

 

Among them, what stood out was the Aina Faction, represented by the year representative.

 

The problem was that Aina had no interest in factions and naturally wasn’t even managing them.

 

Students who called themselves the Aina Faction were arbitrarily clinging around Aina.

 

Since Aina was only focused on personal training and studies, the Aina Faction’s rampages had been increasing recently.

 

Havedon looked at those showing hostility toward him and curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“Interesting. I’ll find out whether Aina Beidna protects you or not by beating you up.”

 

Seeing Havedon smile cynically, the Aina Faction flinched.

 

At least within the Knight Department, only Aina could stop Havedon.

 

“Just wait and see.”

 

The Aina Faction students gritted their teeth and left their seats with a whoosh.

 

Watching that scene, Havedon snorted.

 

“Thank you for helping me.”

 

Luke smiled awkwardly.

 

Looking at such Luke, Havedon narrowed his eyes.

 

“You should also stop that pathetic act of being a clueless failing student, Luke Elda.”

 

“What?”

 

At the sudden words, Luke showed a flustered expression.

 

Havedon stood up from his seat.

 

“Do you think my eyes and others’ eyes are just decorations?”

 

Havedon said coldly.

 

“I know very well what kind of eyes you’re looking at me, at us, with. Very irritating eyes.”

 

Havedon knew.

 

The fact that this failing student was aiming for the year representative position.

 

The first one to tell him this fact was none other than Duran.

 

‘If you’re aiming for the year representative position, be wary of Luke Elda.’

 

At first, it didn’t make sense.

 

‘If Leo Flobe chose him, there must be a reason. And that guy’s eyes are those of someone looking upward.’

 

Duran curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

‘Don’t just look ahead and to the sides. Competitors are behind you too.’

 

When he looked into Luke’s eyes after hearing that advice, Havedon realized.

 

Though he wasn’t showing it.

 

Luke was seriously trying to surpass him.

 

‘He doesn’t seem to realize it himself. That makes it even more annoying.’

 

And during the last mission practice.

 

Havedon and the other freshmen saw it.

 

The honor students who had been on the front lines, including Havedon, saw it.

 

Luke’s sword strike at that moment.

 

“Being annoyingly kind might be your natural personality, so that can’t be helped. But at least if you’re going to challenge me, bare your teeth.”

 

Havedon snorted and spoke as if declaring war.

 

“That way I can beat you down with peace of mind.”
