463.

 

Leo’s morning starts at an early hour.

 

A time that could easily be called dawn.

 

Leo left his dormitory room and came down to the lounge.

 

“Leo, good morning.”

 

Chloe was coming down from the female students’ dormitory with a small yawn.

 

Rubbing her eyes as she descended the stairs, Chloe seemed to be still slightly drowsy.

 

This was one of the rare times when Chloe, who usually didn’t show any gaps in her composure, appeared relaxed.

 

With a slightly dazed face, she reached for a table on one side of the lounge.

 

Milk bottles provided to dormitory students every morning were neatly stacked there.

 

After finishing a bottle of milk, life began to return to Chloe’s eyes.

 

Having regained her senses, Chloe grabbed a book and followed Leo as he left the dormitory.

 

Leo was going for dawn training.

 

Chloe was going to read a book while enjoying the morning air.

 

Click-!

 

They opened the door and went out.

 

Next to the dormitory were individual mailboxes for each dormitory student.

 

Leo and Chloe could see one particular mailbox that was about to burst with letters crammed inside.

 

“Isn’t that your mailbox?”

 

Chloe asked with a flustered face.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Leo opened the mailbox with a puzzled expression to check the contents.

 

Seeing the colorful stationery with pretty handwriting, Chloe asked with a suspicious look.

 

“Don’t tell me those are all love letters?”

 

“It seems like it.”

 

While he usually received letters quite regularly, this was on a completely different level than usual.

 

Leo made an expression of disbelief.

 

“There are quite a few letters from outside too?”

 

There were letters not only from young ladies of prestigious families from other countries, but even from what appeared to be princesses of certain nations.

 

The cost of sending letters to Lumern is quite expensive.

 

Yet all sorts of letters had flown in from around the world to Leo.

 

“Is it because you became a hero?”

 

Leo chuckled and showed an indifferent reaction.

 

“Are you going to read them all?”

 

When Chloe asked cautiously, Leo shook his head.

 

“No.”

 

Leo stuffed the letters back into the mailbox and headed to the training ground for practice.

 

“Aren’t you going to read in the garden?”

 

“Yeah. But the autumn breeze is cool today, so I want to change the atmosphere a bit.”

 

Feeling an inexplicable sense of unease, Chloe followed Leo.

 

A little later.

 

“President! Is it because it’s the second semester? I want to start morning training with a fresh mindset, could you help me?”

 

“I want to start new magic training…”

 

“Hey! I’m worried about improving my communion with spirits, could you give me some advice?”

 

The training ground, which was always quiet, was full of female students.

 

Watching the female students burning with enthusiasm from the day after school started, Chloe’s mouth gaped open.

 

‘Right, even those who were just watching from afar until now will move more boldly.’

 

What Iliana had said yesterday flashed through Chloe’s mind.

 

‘Is this what she meant? She’s usually oblivious, but she’s incredibly perceptive about this kind of thing.’

 

Thinking of Iliana who had foreseen this incident, Chloe pressed her temples and looked at Leo.

 

Chloe’s gaze wavered slightly.

 

‘I know Leo isn’t the type to be swayed by female students’ popularity or attention.’

 

But as long as Leo was human, wouldn’t he inevitably feel attracted to female students who approached him with friendly smiles?

 

Moreover, the female students who were boldly approaching Leo were also exceptionally beautiful.

 

‘They came to morning training wearing makeup. Wow, that one is even showing a lot of skin.’

 

Muttering to herself, Chloe glanced at Leo’s face.

 

Leo, who was looking at the female students, was wearing a gentle smile.

 

Watching Leo’s face, Chloe blinked and silently left the training ground.

 

‘What? Chloe Muller is just leaving?’

 

‘She was with him since dawn, which was annoying.’

 

‘Is she backing off on her own?’

 

The female students inwardly cheered as they watched Chloe leave.

 

“Your enthusiasm from early morning is amazing.”

 

Leo said with a smile.

 

“Your desire to become stronger is remarkable.”

 

“Since you’re working so hard, we should also step up our efforts.”

 

One of the most mature-looking female students said while elegantly brushing her hair back.

 

An somehow sensual atmosphere.

 

Watching this, Leo smiled.

 

“I should do my best to help you all too.”

 

“Yeah! Before that, I made this for you.”

 

“Me too! It’s a stamina recovery potion mixed with fruit juice! It’ll definitely be delicious!”

 

The female students took out drink bottles and tried to give them to Leo.

 

“Keep those. You’ll need them more than I will.”

 

“What?”

 

The female students looked confused.

 

“Well, since it’s early dawn, shall we start with some light physical training?”

 

“Oh, okay.”

 

“Physical training, sure.”

 

Though sensing something strange, the female students burned with enthusiasm.

 

To somehow catch Leo’s eye, they had to show themselves well.

 

A little later.

 

Kyaaaaaaaaaah-!

 

From early dawn, the desperate screams of female students began to echo.

 

Chloe, who was enjoying morning reading while enjoying the autumn breeze on a bench in Glory Garden, glanced up.

 

“Poor girls.”

 

***

 

“Uhhhhh.”

 

Morning combat studies class.

 

As it was the first class of the second semester, it was held in the main auditorium.

 

With all the 2nd year students gathered, Cal sat next to Leo with a dazed expression.

 

“Why are you so tired from the morning? Did you also receive special training from Leo?”

 

Chelsea, who was sitting next to Leo, asked with giggles.

 

The story of Leo giving group training like punishment to female students who had tried to flirt with him at dawn had already spread throughout the school.

 

“Do you know how much I suffered from not just 2nd years but also upperclassmen from the morning?”

 

Cal answered with a face like his soul was about to leave his body.

 

“That love potion that caused a commotion last time. They’re making such a fuss asking me to make it for them.”

 

“The student council banned making that weird drug.”

 

Chelsea frowned deeply.

 

The love potion.

 

It was the potion that had caused a huge commotion last semester when Cal made it using a recipe from Dweno’s alchemy book.

 

Although it was deemed a failure at the time, the Student Council banned the production of that drug.

 

Cal also lost interest since he didn’t want to get on the Student Council’s bad side by making a drug with no effect.

 

‘Well, it was a perfect success though.’

 

It was just made under Dweno’s sensibilities, so the effect was different from what people expected.

 

‘Anyway, it’s a drug that would cause problems in various ways if used on students.’

 

“They’ve got some nerve. Who the hell made the request?”

 

“I don’t know either. They requested it anonymously. That’s why I was busy this morning reporting it to the Student Council.”

 

“What kind of idiot would want a drug like that?”

 

“Probably one of the female students targeting Leo.”

 

“Why are they suddenly using illegal drugs to target Leo oppa?”

 

“Our innocent little miss still doesn’t know how the world works.”

 

“I’ll make your future dark.”

 

“Kyaaaah-! Stop! Stop!”

 

Cal screamed and struggled as he watched Chelsea grab his face with both hands and press his eyes with her thumbs.

 

Cal, who barely escaped from Chelsea’s grasp, said.

 

“It’s because Leo became a hero this time. He was already a lottery ticket with a 100% winning rate. Think of that lottery ticket’s prize money going up. By a huge amount. If they can just secure Leo, it’s a complete life reversal. Wouldn’t the girls who were already targeting Leo become even more desperate?”

 

Cal rested his chin on his hand.

 

“Leo, isn’t it a waste? You could date any girl you like, so why not enjoy some novel-like school life while you’re at it? If it were me, really. Wow~”

 

“That’s disgusting.”

 

“Hey! Calling it disgusting! I’m just recommending healthy and sweet, bitter yet heart-fluttering and dangerous love between men and women! When else would you experience that if not during student days?”

 

“It’s disgusting.”

 

“Hey, Leo, tell her. You’re interested in that kind of thing too, right?”

 

Cal said to Leo with an aggrieved expression at Chelsea’s continued reproach.

 

“Not particularly.”

 

Leo smiled slightly.

 

“See? Leo oppa is different from you.”

 

“Why aren’t you interested? You’re a guy too!”

 

“Think of me as an experienced adult, more than you think.”

 

“An adult when we’re the same age? Besides, what could you have experienced when all you do is study and train?”

 

Cal, who knew Leo’s lifestyle well, made a puzzled expression.

 

But conversely, Chelsea’s mouth gaped open.

 

‘Come to think of it, Leo oppa really is much more of an adult!’

 

A legendary Great Hero.

 

Not a student.

 

‘If, if he’s an adult, then as expected.’

 

“Hey, are you sick? Why is your face suddenly red?”

 

“N-nothing at all!”

 

Chelsea shook her head vigorously at Cal’s question.

 

It was when Leo was smiling gently while watching Chelsea.

 

Slam-!

 

“Everyone! Did you have a good vacation!”

 

The door opened and Sedjen appeared.

 

“I know some of you had an elegant vacation!”

 

Sedjen said while looking at all the 2nd Year students.

 

“Having experiences you couldn’t have at that age is a good thing. I hope everyone uses those experiences as foundation to take an even bigger step forward! Those students who didn’t have such experiences shouldn’t be discouraged or shrink back either! You’re still young, too young even!”

 

Hmm-! Sedjen, who had been encouraging the students with his arms crossed, widened his eyes.

 

“With that meaning! I’ll talk about the 2nd Year 2nd semester Combat Department practical evaluation!”

 

At that declaration, the students looked at Sedjen quietly.

 

They were 2nd Year students who had become seasoned enough in school life.

 

There was no reason to be surprised that he mentioned the 2nd semester practical evaluation from the first class.

 

Then Duran raised his hand.

 

“What is it! My beloved disciple! Duran!”

 

“Is the combat studies practicum being announced this time until midterms? Or for the entire 2nd semester?”

 

“It’s an evaluation for the entire 2nd semester. And from today, 2nd Year combat studies classes will be self-directed.”

 

At those words, the students showed surprised expressions.

 

This was somewhat radical.

 

Combat studies classes held as much weight as academic classes.

 

For such classes to be conducted as self-directed study for the entire semester.

 

“Well, the 2nd Year 2nd semester classes themselves will have a strong character of autonomous assignments anyway.”

 

Sedjen grinned.

 

“The 2nd semester combat studies rankings will be determined by commission scores.”

 

“That means….”

 

“That’s right. From the 2nd semester, you will officially take on commissions as Hero Candidates and be dispatched to various parts of the world!”

 

***

 

“Wow, this is really radical.”

 

After class ended, during lunch time.

 

Cal stuck out his tongue at the Plaza Cafeteria in front of the Tower of Heroes.

 

“Who would have thought they’d conduct the classes themselves autonomously. This is completely a 3rd Year 1st semester curriculum, isn’t it?”

 

It’s true that from 2nd Year 2nd semester, students officially start taking on commissions.

 

But they don’t take on autonomous commissions like this.

 

Usually it ends with arranging commissions suitable for 2nd Year level.

 

Some students are different, but that’s only the story for top-tier students.

 

Autonomy isn’t granted to the entire grade like this.

 

“The higher-ups have high expectations for our generation. Besides, the professors seem to think we’re sufficiently at this level.”

 

At Chelsea’s words, Cal made a sad expression.

 

“Can’t they show some consideration for the students at the bottom?”

 

“Cal, we’ll move forward using your corpse as a stepping stone.”

 

“Don’t kill people carelessly! Don’t use them as stepping stones either!”

 

Cal cried out.

 

“By the way, what is Leo doing at the bulletin board?”

 

Cal looked puzzled as he watched Leo standing in front of the Plaza Bulletin Board.

 

“Looks like he’s looking at commissions?”

 

“Aren’t most of the commissions on the Plaza Bulletin Board difficult to solve but with low scores?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“What’s he doing looking at those? He could easily pick comfortable commissions. I heard high-ranking escort commissions have high scores and great commission fees, making them like a complete vacation.”

 

As Cal spoke enviously, Chelsea answered while looking at the menu.

 

“Since it’s Leo oppa, he must have deep thoughts about it.”

 

While Chelsea and Cal were placing their orders.

 

In front of the bulletin board, Leo was narrowing his eyes while looking at one commission request.

 

On the gray commission paper was written ‘Tomb Raider Extermination’.

 

At first glance, it seemed like nothing special.

 

But….

 

‘It bothers me that all the robbed tombs are heroes’ graves.’
