418.

 

Divine power.

 

A force also called divinity, it was literally the power used by gods.

 

As such, it was not a power that earthly beings like humans, elves, suin, or dragons could handle.

 

‘A power that disappeared as the gods vanished from the earthly realm.’

 

Of course, divine power hadn’t completely disappeared.

 

The Hero Record was made of divine power, after all.

 

It was literally the last remnant of the gods remaining in the lower realm.

 

‘If there was divine power that appeared in this world afterward.’

 

The past god he met within the Hero Record, Pibua.

 

Though he was merely a fragment of the past, he was a god close to omniscience and omnipotence, and he bestowed his blessing upon Leo, lending him his power.

 

‘But I’ve already used up all the divine power I gained then.’

 

Through the divine power Pibua gave him, Leo was able to perform two miracles.

 

‘The first was manifesting the power of my past life.’

 

For a brief moment, he transcended space and time to obtain the power of the Hero of the Beginning, Kail.

 

‘The second was…’

 

Leo clenched his fist tightly.

 

Bringing Luna, who was a being of the past, briefly into the present time.

 

It was different from Seirun’s case.

 

Seirun had been repeating the battle with Erebos infinitely in the world of Genesis for 3000 years, but he was strictly speaking still alive.

 

Bringing a living conqueror out of the Heroes’ World was Leo’s authority as the owner of the Hero Record.

 

But Luna, who was already dead and a figure of the past, was different.

 

‘It was something that exceeded the limits of miracles the Hero Record could achieve.’

 

By bringing Luna briefly outside the Heroes’ World like that, all of Pibua’s divine power was exhausted.

 

The Polium, which was the vessel that contained Pibua’s divine power, was also given to Seirun.

 

‘But… what exactly is this divine power?’

 

“Divine power… are you referring to the power of the gods?”

 

Mellina, who had been surprised by Leo’s words, asked cautiously.

 

“That’s right.”

 

“My goodness. Then with this power, would it be possible for Leo to bring the power from when you were Kail… or other great heroes to this era?”

 

“It would be nice if that were possible, but.”

 

At Mellina’s excited question, Leo narrowed his eyes and concentrated his mind.

 

He tried to exert his will to emit divine power, but there was no response.

 

Seeing this, Leo muttered.

 

“It seems impossible to control this right away. It’s such a faint power that I didn’t even notice it until you told me.”

 

At Leo’s words, Mellina made a disappointed expression.

 

“What could be the reason Leo gained divine power?”

 

Mellina pondered, then spoke.

 

“Among the Shadows, they call Leo the God of Shadows – could it be related to that?”

 

“No, that’s not it.”

 

Leo shook his head.

 

“I don’t have expertise in theology, but as someone who lived in the era when gods existed, there’s one fact I know for certain.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Humans cannot become gods. The same goes for other races.”

 

The era before the Age of Calamity was called the Age of Gods, so it was a time when much research about gods was conducted.

 

Gods are transcendent beings fundamentally different from earthly beings.

 

“Gods don’t care whether earthly inhabitants worship them or not. So no matter how much they regard me as a god and worship me, I can’t particularly gain divinity.”

 

“I see.”

 

Mellina nodded as if she understood.

 

‘Whatever the case, it’s a fact that divinity has accumulated in my body. If I can figure out the reason and become able to use this power.’

 

Leo’s red eyes sparkled.

 

‘Divine power will surely be a great help in future battles.’

 

***

 

The participation of the Shan Empire, and the appearance of the Silent Dragon.

 

Unexpected events and hoped-for incidents had occurred.

 

External interest in the summit grew even hotter.

 

The entire world was watching Lumeria City.

 

But even while the world’s attention was focused, there were those busy with their own affairs.

 

And the most representative of these were the 1st and 2nd year students of Lumern, right in the center of that summit.

 

Whether to remain at Lumern next semester or not.

 

Everything hinged on the freshmen’s tournament evaluation.

 

“Who do you think will win in this year’s freshman tournament, Professor Ren?”

 

All regular classes had already ended.

 

For the 2nd years, all exams had been completed as well.

 

Ren, who was competent enough to be counted among Lumern’s best professors despite his frequent outbursts, had already finished grading all the 2nd year students.

 

As such, Ren and his associate professor Anna were spending a leisurely time in the lecture hall where they had conducted classes for the semester, waiting for the semester to end.

 

The reason for spending time in the lecture hall was simple.

 

Since Lumern students were so academically enthusiastic, even now before vacation, there were students who came to ask questions.

 

They didn’t wait in their personal faculty office because the lecture hall was much more convenient for students to visit.

 

‘Seeing this, he’s definitely a professor overflowing with passion.’

 

Ren elegantly lifted his teacup and said.

 

“The most likely candidate would be Aina Beidna.”

 

Ren, who had taken the black tea from his teacup into his mouth, nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to his book.

 

Since Ren was extremely handsome, just looking at him now, he was truly an intellectual magic professor.

 

Anna smiled slightly.

 

‘It would be really nice if he wasn’t reading that ridiculous book.’

 

Watching Ren read a book titled ‘Why Mages Are Superior to Knights and Summoners,’ Anna felt a headache coming on.

 

Then the lecture hall door opened.

 

Ren and Anna’s gazes turned toward the door.

 

And seeing the unexpected students who had come to the lecture hall, Ren’s eyes narrowed.

 

“Seirun?”

 

At Ren’s reaction, Anna gulped nervously.

 

Seirun Academy.

 

That was one of the things that had caused Ren the most fits this semester.

 

In such a situation, with Seirun students visiting the lecture hall, Anna couldn’t help but be tense.

 

‘He better not go into a frenzy again.’

 

Anna, who had been making a worried expression, realized the Seirun students looked familiar.

 

‘Their name was definitely… Angre Bizan, right?’

 

They were the lower class students who had been unfairly treated at Seirun due to their low achievements in Star Magic.

 

Of course, now their lives had changed through Seirun’s policy changes and the [Introduction to Star Magic] that Ren had written, and they had escaped the lower class.

 

“You’re student Angr, right?”

 

“Ah! Associate Professor Anna!”

 

The former lower class students, including Angr, flocked around Anna.

 

“Nice to see you all! Have you been well?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“It’s all thanks to Associate Professor Anna and Senior Leo!”

 

The freshmen smiled brightly and chattered excitedly.

 

“Senior Leo? Senior Leo when you’re at different schools? Do you know what you’re babbling about right now?”

 

Then with a thud! he closed his book and shot up from his seat.

 

His eyes were so fierce it seemed like beams might shoot out of them.

 

The Seirun freshmen were terrified by Ren’s murderous aura.

 

“Why did you come here!”

 

“Wh-who are you?”

 

Angr mustered courage and carefully asked as the representative.

 

“My name is Ren Horses! I’m the professor that Leo Flobe, whom you dare call senior, respects most!”

 

“…Don’t lie.”

 

Anna said with half-closed eyes, but Ren didn’t listen at all.

 

Angr and the freshmen’s eyes widened upon hearing Ren’s name.

 

Then Angr spoke as the representative.

 

“So you’re Professor Ren! Greetings! I’m Angr Bizan!”

 

When the students who had been terrified just moments ago greeted him with sparkling eyes, Ren’s momentum deflated somewhat.

 

“My life changed because of the [Introduction to Star Magic] that Professor Ren wrote. Thank you!”

 

“I truly respect you! Professor!”

 

“It’s truly an honor to meet you!”

 

Seeing the Seirun freshmen sending genuine gratitude and respect, Ren let out an impressed “Ho!” exclamation.

 

“So you’re that Angr Bizan. I received your letter well. Indeed! You’re an excellent honor student just as I thought!”

 

Anna sighed deeply watching Ren, who had shown nothing but hostility just moments ago, instantly switch his attitude.

 

Afterward, Ren shared stories about magic with the Seirun freshmen.

 

“Professor Ren’s reputation at Seirun is currently very high.”

 

“Many are amazed at how you can understand star magic so deeply despite not being an elf.”

 

“There are many evaluations saying you’ve enabled us to view star magic from a new perspective!”

 

“According to rumors, you might be invited as a visiting professor during summer vacation.”

 

“Huhuhuh! To receive such evaluation from Seirun, which is renowned for magic. I don’t know where to put myself.”

 

‘If they have brains and those brains aren’t just decorations, it’s natural for those damn pointy-ears to recognize the greatness of my thesis, Associate Professor Anna!’

 

‘…Even though you said that.’

 

Anna sighed.

 

Later, Eclaire and Yoinya, who were other Seirun freshman honor students, also came to find Ren.

 

Angr looked at them and asked.

 

“Where did Rea go?”

 

“She was coming with us until just now, but suddenly disappeared.”

 

“I really wanted to let her meet Professor Ren.”

 

Angr showed a disappointed expression at Eclaire’s answer.

 

Meanwhile, Anna approached Ren and spoke quietly.

 

“…You completely changed your attitude even though you were cursing Seirun Academy just an hour ago.”

 

When Anna spoke with half-closed eyes, Ren laughed “Hoot-“.

 

“Associate Professor Anna, people must know how to hide their true feelings according to time and place. We call someone whose outside and inside are different a person of character.”

 

“Who calls that kind of thing a person of character?”

 

Anna pointed out, but Ren didn’t bat an eye.

 

***

 

Swish-! Swish-!

 

Lumern 1st Year Classroom Corridor.

 

The gazes of freshman students passing through that place secretly moved toward someone moving stealthily.

 

‘…It’s a Seirun student.’

 

‘Why is she moving so secretly?’

 

‘Does she think she won’t be noticed doing that?’

 

A Seirun freshman who had blatantly infiltrated the classroom building full of Lumern freshmen while wearing a Seirun uniform.

 

Lea Tingel was currently earnestly chasing after someone.

 

When the target she was following passed around a corner in the corridor, Lea quickly approached the corner and peeked her face out.

 

And she glared at the target’s back.

 

‘That’s Luke Elda.’

 

She took out Luke’s photo from her pocket.

 

The source of the photo was none other than Cal.

 

She had discovered Luke while moving with the Seirun students and chased him all the way here.

 

‘Flobe Sunbaenim’s mentee. To enjoy such an enviable privilege all by himself, I can’t forgive it.’

 

She burned with competitive spirit toward someone who had done nothing wrong.

 

“…What are you? Why is a Seirun freshman here?”

 

Then a voice came from behind.

 

When she turned her head back, Havedon was there.

 

Lea turned around to stand in front of Havedon, straightened her back, and lifted her chin.

 

“My name is Lea Tingel.”

 

“Lea Tingel?”

 

“Wait! Isn’t that the Seirun freshman valedictorian?”

 

Shocked voices could be heard from here and there.

 

“What brings the Seirun freshman representative all the way here?”

 

At Havedon’s question with crossed arms, Lea crossed her arms in response and answered.

 

“I came to defeat my nemesis.”

 

“What? What? A declaration of war?”

 

“Is it in preparation for Lusejeon?”

 

“Amazing!”

 

“If it’s a nemesis, who? Aina as expected?”

 

The freshmen showed excited reactions.

 

“You came attacking alone, is that what you’re saying. That’s some good guts?”

 

Havedon curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

As commotion arose, students rushed to gather in the corridor.

 

Amid the even more chaotic situation with the gathered students, when Aina also appeared, the students split apart.

 

A space was created between Lea and Aina.

 

A situation where the freshman representatives of Lumern and Seirun faced each other.

 

Aina made an expression of not understanding what was happening.

 

It was when everyone had tense expressions in such a situation.

 

Then Lea raised her hand.

 

And pointed at someone with her finger.

 

“Luke Elda.”

 

Everyone’s gaze turned to Luke.

 

Luke, who had come wondering what was happening, made an expression of not understanding the situation.

 

“Come at me.”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

Luke asked back, not understanding the situation.

 

The other students were the same.

 

“I said come at me right now.”

 

“Why me?”

 

Luke made an aggrieved expression looking at Lea glaring at him.

 

“Because you’re my prey.”

 

“Seirun freshman representative.”

 

Havedon laughed “Pfft-“.

 

“Luke Elda is my prey. I can’t tolerate anyone laying hands on him first.”

 

“If you interfere, I’ll defeat you first.”

 

“You’re saying what I should say.”

 

Crackle-

 

It was when Havedon and Lea were glaring at each other.

 

It was when the students tensed up again seeing the two who had suddenly become hostile.

 

“It’s Professor Hallind!”

 

At someone’s urgent voice, the startled freshmen instantly headed to their respective classrooms.

 

Rea shouted with a bewildered expression at their orderly movement.

 

“Ah! Luke Elda! Stop right there! Fight me right now!”

 

Rea’s voice, unable to grasp the situation, echoed loudly throughout the entire corridor.

 

And just as she was about to chase Luke at full speed with blazing eyes.

 

“Who said you could fight in the corridor?”

 

A chillingly cold voice was heard.

 

Rea’s body stiffened without her realizing it.

 

“And who said you could shout loudly in the corridor?”

 

Rea turned around with stiff movements.

 

There stood Hallind, the Lumerne Wall of Lamentations.

 

“Hiiik?”

 

Rea unconsciously stepped backward at Hallind’s menacing aura.

 

“You don’t seem afraid of punishment?”

 

Rea was terrified.

 

But even so, she courageously protested.

 

“I-I’m not a Lumern student though.”

 

Her instincts were screaming.

 

That she shouldn’t follow the human in front of her.

 

But it didn’t work on Hallind at all.

 

“I don’t care which school you’re from.”

 

Hallind grabbed the back of Rea’s neck.

 

“If you’ve come to Lumern, follow Lumern’s laws.”
