414.

 

When Juwen opened his eyes, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

 

Juwen, who had been blinking his eyes several times, hurriedly sat up.

 

“…Where is this?”

 

Juwen, who had been looking around in confusion, soon realized that this place was the infirmary and let out a hollow laugh.

 

‘I lost.’

 

Creak-

 

At that moment, the door opened and Cal entered.

 

“Juwen, you’re awake?”

 

“What happened?”

 

“Shock due to mana depletion.”

 

Cal pulled over a chair in the hospital room and sat next to Juwen’s bed as he spoke.

 

“It was really a close difference. Everyone said that if it had been a place where you could fight fairly instead of a place advantageous to Aina, you would have won….”

 

“A loss is a loss.”

 

Juwen gritted his teeth and answered Cal’s words.

 

“Everything else is just an excuse. The result doesn’t change.”

 

“…Right.”

 

Cal, who had been trying to comfort Juwen, closed his mouth and smiled bitterly.

 

Cal was flustered as he looked at Juwen, who was silent with his head down.

 

“Hey, are you crying?”

 

Juwen’s shoulders were trembling faintly.

 

“I’m sorry. You helped me so earnestly, senior.”

 

While Juwen was the one who came up with the winning strategy against Aina, it was Cal who predicted Aina’s movements and provided the analysis.

 

“I just did what was natural as a mentor. Don’t cry. You were really amazing, you know?”

 

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. But I’m so frustrated.”

 

“It’s okay. You only lost once. This is just the freshman final exam at most, right? There will be plenty of opportunities to get revenge in the future.”

 

Cal comforted the frustrated Juwen.

 

***

 

After the first round of the freshman final exam tournament ended, Lumern became bustling.

 

The one who received the most attention was undoubtedly Luke.

 

Since it was a completely unexpected and surprising victory, a lot of attention was bound to be focused on him.

 

The question of why such a guy was the student council president’s mentee until now had also largely subsided.

 

“Student Luke! What was the reason for hiding your strength until now?”

 

“Was it a strategy to make other students let their guard down?”

 

Newspaper club students flocked to Luke and threw various questions at him.

 

“It was Senior Leo’s training method.”

 

“Oh? How was the student council president’s training?”

 

At that question, Luke’s face turned pale.

 

‘Just what kind of training did he receive?’

 

The newspaper club students made strange expressions as they watched Luke, who was even trembling.

 

The next thing that received attention was the match between Aina and Juwen.

 

“Student Aina, how do you feel about your match with Student Juwen?”

 

“He was very strong.”

 

Aina, who answered quietly with her eyes downcast, didn’t answer any further and returned to the dormitory.

 

Students who called themselves Aina’s faction followed Aina in confusion.

 

Watching that scene, Luke muttered.

 

“She doesn’t look happy.”

 

“She probably didn’t expect to struggle this much. She almost lost, after all.”

 

Shasha, the class president of Class 1 like Luke, answered while waving her fan.

 

“By the way, you were wonderful, Luke. You raised the honor of Class 1.”

 

At Shasha’s words, Luke scratched his head.

 

“I’m looking forward to our match.”

 

At Shasha’s words as she spoke with a grin, a snorting sound was heard.

 

“Shasha Sienne Roden, you won’t have a chance to face Luke Elda.”

 

“What did you say?”

 

Shasha’s eyes narrowed.

 

“Because you’ll be defeated by me before that.”

 

“Hehe- You’re saying what I wanted to say, Havidon Birsen.”

 

Sparks flew between Shasha and Havedon.

 

Watching those two, other students quietly moved away.

 

“I’ve been thinking that I should defeat Luke Elda from the beginning anyway.”

 

“That’s the same for me too?”

 

Watching the two growling at each other, Jane, who was from Class 10 like Havedon and Chen Xia’s mentee, made an expression of disbelief.

 

“Weren’t you guys not interested in Luke Elda at all? You didn’t know his skills until now.”

 

“I’ve been determined to defeat Luke since he became Senior Leo’s mentee.”

 

When Shasha spoke with a snort, Jane smiled sinisterly.

 

“Jealousy?”

 

“No way?!”

 

Watching Shasha get flustered with a bright red face, Havedon laughed.

 

“How unsightly, Shasha Sienne Roden.”

 

Shasha, who got angry at Havedon, said to Luke.

 

“Luke, you tell me! Who do you want to fight more between me and this guy!”

 

“Obviously he’d want to face me more since we’re from the same Knight Department.”

 

“I’d like to fight both of you.”

 

Luke answered while scratching his cheek.

 

From Luke’s perspective, both Shasha and Havedon were students he had admired since freshman enrollment because they were amazing.

 

And they were also strong opponents he wanted to test how far his skills would work against someday.

 

‘I want to test how far my current skills work against these people.’

 

That was Luke’s honest feeling.

 

Of course, there was no way Shasha and Havedon would accept Luke’s answer.

 

“Choose, Luke Elda.”

 

“Choose, Luke.”

 

Luke made a tearful face as he watched the two approach him one step closer with fierce faces.

 

“Someone help me!”

 

The freshmen turned away from Luke because they didn’t want to get involved with Shasha and Havedon.

 

As such commotion arose among the freshmen.

 

Among the second-years who came to find their mentees, Nella, who saw that scene, muttered.

 

“Leo’s mentee is quite popular.”

 

“Yeah, that’s right.”

 

Iliana nodded.

 

“I’d pass on that kind of popularity though.”

 

***

 

The final exams weren’t only taken by freshmen.

 

After the freshman tournament ended, each grade entered their exams.

 

However, since the main event of this final exam was the freshman tournament, the final exams of other grades were generally finished early.

 

The freshmen also finished their written exams early and only the tournament continued steadily.

 

Luke smoothly achieved victories and moved up.

 

Top students from other departments also continued to achieve victories.

 

Even in Juwen’s case, who had a bad bracket, he broke through the losers’ bracket and joined the main tournament.

 

While the losers’ bracket was proceeding like this, the biggest issue of this semester.

 

The summit meeting had finally begun.

 

All grades gathered at the Daeyeon Parade Ground by department.

 

“Wow.”

 

Iliana, who had brought the school newspaper to read, exclaimed and clicked her tongue.

 

Chloe tilted her head.

 

“Why?”

 

“No. At this rate, that guy Emio. I’m wondering if he’s really going to get expelled.”

 

“Ah.”

 

At Iliana’s words, Chloe also let out an exclamation.

 

Looking at grades alone, Emio was skilled enough that it wouldn’t be strange for him to remain at Lumern until graduation.

 

But things got complicated due to this 1st year tournament.

 

Rement, Emio’s mentee, suffered a shocking defeat to Luke in his first match and fell to the loser’s bracket.

 

The problem was that Juwen also fell to the loser’s bracket.

 

The one who won in the loser’s revival match was Juwen.

 

It was a battle between the 1st and 3rd place students of the Department of Magic, but Juwen achieved an overwhelming victory and fell back to the loser’s bracket again.

 

“The expulsion criteria for 1st years haven’t been clearly announced yet. We’ll have to wait and see.”

 

At Chloe’s words, Iliana snorted.

 

“I hope Professor Hallind judges strictly like a blade. Please, so I don’t have to see that annoying face anymore.”

 

“I agree.”

 

Chelsea, who had been listening to the conversation nearby, also nodded.

 

“But why are you here?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Go back to the Knight Academy.”

 

“Gasp! We’ve studied together in the Department of Magic, and you say such harsh words!”

 

When Iliana made a hurt expression, Chelsea opened her eyes drowsily.

 

“Harsh my ass. You came to the Department of Magic because it’s a better viewing spot! You only act like you’re from the Department of Magic when it’s convenient, right?”

 

At Chelsea’s words, Iliana played dumb.

 

Watching such Iliana, Cal spoke.

 

“Should I drag you out?”

 

“Chloe! The kids are picking on me!”

 

When public opinion wasn’t favorable, Iliana clung to Chloe.

 

After a commotion, Iliana, who finally succeeded in securing her spot, said.

 

“Anyway, the Class President is lucky. He’ll see the power holders and Heroes from each country from the VIP seats, right?”

 

Leo stood in front of the Warp Gate as student council president to greet the world leaders.

 

***

 

“Leo, don’t be nervous. I’ll assist you well.”

 

“Senior Lil. I appreciate the words, but could you talk while looking at me?”

 

Lil had her eyes tightly shut, seemingly nervous.

 

The task of greeting the leaders and Heroes from each country up close was assigned to the grade representatives representing each year.

 

Since Hark and Elena would return tomorrow from their mission deployment, Lil was currently the highest grade student present.

 

Therefore, Lil’s role was to assist Leo, who was the student council president but still only a 2nd year.

 

However, she was fidgeting nervously.

 

“Ugh- Aren’t you nervous, Leo? Don’t you worry about making mistakes and showing disgrace?”

 

“Not particularly.”

 

“Leo really is amazing.”

 

Lil was impressed.

 

She had thought he was amazing since they first met.

 

But now he wasn’t just an amazing junior, but as student council president and summoner, he was in an incredibly high position.

 

“Senior Lil, just act like you normally do.”

 

“Well, then they won’t think it’s strange.”

 

‘…They’ll think it’s strange whether you act normally or not.’

 

Leo muttered to himself.

 

Lil thought of herself as ordinary, but she actually had a very unique personality.

 

Of course, as a spirit mage, she was quite reasonable.

 

‘Of course, she’s not simply reasonable but a monster without rough edges.’

 

Despite having such amazing talent, Lil always found people more amazing than herself to compare with and got intimidated on her own.

 

‘But even so, she never stops trying.’

 

She was someone who used comparison as fuel for growth, always looking up rather than down.

 

Leo turned his gaze toward Aina.

 

‘She’s in a similar state to Lil.’

 

If Lil was nervous with her eyes closed, this one was just staring at the ground.

 

‘She seems to still not have recovered from the shock of the match with Juwen.’

 

“Aina.”

 

“Yes?”

 

At Leo’s call, Aina was startled.

 

“You seem to have some worries.”

 

At that question, Aina lowered her gaze again.

 

She moved her lips slightly, then closed her mouth.

 

Previously, Aina would never avoid Leo’s eyes, saying she would be recognized.

 

But now she seemed to be avoiding Leo.

 

Watching such Aina, Leo said.

 

“If you have worries, consult with Selia. She’s your mentor.”

 

“….”

 

At those words, Aina smiled self-deprecatingly.

 

“…Someone like me… Senior Selia won’t even bother with me.”

 

“It’s not good to belittle yourself too much, Aina.”

 

Lil, who had been listening to the conversation, tried to console her, but Aina just kept staring at the ground.

 

Watching such Aina, Leo said.

 

“Why do you think you have a mentor?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Aina looked up with a slightly surprised expression at Leo’s words.

 

But the Warp Gate activated and leaders and Heroes from each country began arriving, so the conversation couldn’t continue.

 

***

 

Flash-!

 

Numerous rulers and Heroes of various races arrived.

 

Each time, the Lumern Students sent up cheers of welcome.

 

While everyone was sending enthusiastic welcomes.

 

Flash-!

 

The Warp Gate activated again and someone appeared.

 

The Lumern Students who were cheering again suddenly hesitated.

 

Not just Lumern.

 

The Kings and Heroes who had been greeting each other also showed surprised expressions upon discovering who had arrived this time.

 

Flutter- Flutter-

 

A flag waved.

 

Those composed of Eastern Continent people began walking.

 

Many summit meetings had been held since the Heroes of the Cataclysm until now.

 

However.

 

They, who had existed in the world since before the Heroes of the Cataclysm, had never once attended a summit meeting.

 

The country with the longest history in the world.

 

The Shadow Kingdom that had written history in darkness.

 

Someone quietly spoke that name.

 

“Shan Empire.”
