51

The day after the exam period ended, Class 5 students cheerfully chatted as they got up from their seats after school.

“Hey! Let’s have a party to celebrate finishing our exams! A party!”

“Cal! You know what’s up! I’m totally in favor!”

It was when Cal and Iliana were planning a celebration party.

Creak-!

The classroom door opened and Hallind entered.

“Everyone sit down. I’ll give you 5 seconds.”

“Gasp!”

“Hey! Move! Move!”

At Hallind’s declaration, the Class 5 students who were about to leave the classroom hurriedly returned to their seats.

Thud-!

Hallind nodded with satisfaction as he watched the students sit down in an instant.

“The exam grading results are out.”

Tension appeared on the students’ faces.

“Ugh! I had forgotten about it.”

Cal clutched his head and slumped onto his desk.

Watching him, Hallind spoke.

“The students in our class who received withdrawal recommendations are…”

Gulp-

Everyone focused on Hallind’s mouth, swallowing dry saliva at the merciless announcement.

“None.”

“Ooooooooh!”

“Hooray! We’re saved!”

“With this, we can survive until the first semester!”

The students erupted in cheers.

Students whose grades had been on the edge shed tears.

Cheering sounds could be heard from other classes as well, not just Class 5.

“How dare you shout while I’m speaking. What nerve.”

Silence immediately fell at Hallind’s single remark.

“Don’t get too excited. While no one received withdrawal recommendations, there are many who came close. For those guys, I’ve personally prepared an after-school supplementary class schedule.”

Afterwards, Hallind called out the names of students who had to take supplementary classes.

The faces of those subject to supplementary classes turned pale.

“You don’t look happy.”

“We’re happy.”

“We’re so happy we could cry! Haha. Hahahaha.”

“Lastly, there’s an announcement.”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Sena.

“There will be a party tonight to celebrate the end of midterms.”

At those words, the atmosphere in Class 5 heated up overall.

“And at the party, we’ll schedule the school trip that’s happening in a week.”

Class 5 couldn’t understand those words and momentarily wore blank expressions.

A moment later.

Cheers erupted from here and there.

“Ooooooh!”

Lumern goes on school trips once a year by grade level.

Sometimes they go by class, sometimes by department.

This time they would go by class, according to Hallind’s explanation.

“Our school has quite an impulsive side to it.”

“The school trip was scheduled in the first-year curriculum though.”

“It was scheduled, yes. But there wasn’t an exact date, right? And now suddenly it’s in a week.”

As Chelsea shook her head, Nella smiled with her characteristic languid expression.

“Heh. Finally, it’s time for me to step up.”

Cal put his hand to his chin with a smug expression.

“What do you mean step up?”

“I have wide connections, right? I’m already well-acquainted with second and third-year seniors, you know? I’ll go find out what first-years do on school trips!”

“Hehe. Then please do.”

Cal hurriedly rushed out of the classroom.

‘A school trip, huh.’

Leo rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t looked around various places since being reborn.’

The places Leo had been were only the Flobe Family Estate and the family manor in the capital of the Delard Kingdom.

And Lumern Academy and Lumeria City were all.

This was in contrast to his previous life, when he had been wandering around the world at this age.

Leo smiled, feeling a strange anticipation for travel.

***

“Where do you think we’ll go for the school trip?”

“Whatever it is, I hope we can get some healing.”

“We should be able to have fun though, right?”

That evening.

A party was held in the dormitory auditorium.

It was a celebration party for finishing the first midterms.

Moreover, with a new school event being announced, the overall atmosphere was excited.

Of course, the mood wasn’t entirely good.

This exam was also a farewell party for students who received withdrawal recommendations.

“Our school has quite a cruel side to it.”

Cal, dressed in a tuxedo fitting for the party, grumbled.

“I know, right.”

Taide also nodded as if he agreed.

All first-years were required to attend this party.

In other words, students who received withdrawal recommendations also had to attend.

“It’s not quite survival of the fittest, but it’s an atmosphere that constantly urges you to keep looking upward.”

“Well, what can you do when it’s a school that trains great heroes.”

At Taide’s muttering, Cal sighed and scratched his head vigorously.

While the two were talking, students were steadily entering the dormitory auditorium.

Class 5 students also came in one by one and approached the Class 5 seating area.

Among them, there were times when male and female students entered together.

When that happened, students would throw playful jeers.

Cal, who had been going along with that atmosphere, spotted two female students entering through the auditorium door and let out an exclamation.

“It’s Nella and Iliana.”

“Where! Where!”

Other Class 5 male students nearby also showed intense interest.

“Ooh! As expected of Nella!”

“Iliana usually acts tough, but when she dresses up, she’s a beauty!”

The male students burst into exclamations at the appearance of the two girls representing the class.

Then, spotting male students from other classes approaching, they moved urgently.

“Hey hey! Bugs are swarming!”

“Go bring them over!”

The Class 5 male students rushed over in a group.

“When will the class president come?”

“I want to see our class president in a tuxedo soon!”

“Nella~ Iliana~ Come over here.”

The female students also greeted the two with bright smiles.

When the auditorium was somewhat filled, two people, a man and woman, entered together.

Of course, the atmosphere was different from the earlier jeering.

A boy and girl with light blue hair and eyes.

It was none other than Avad and Chelsea.

Since they entered as siblings, there was no way to jeer at them.

Moreover, even if they had entered differently, their status was too significant.

When the Rwallin siblings appeared, several Rodren Empire students approached them.

“Seeing them like this really makes me think they’re truly from a prestigious family.”

Cal clicked his tongue.

Lumern had many students from renowned hero families.

But in Rwallin’s case, they possessed an authority that refused comparison with ordinary renowned hero families.

“There’s another big shot that’s not inferior to them.”

As soon as Iliana finished speaking, another man and woman appeared.

This time there were no jeers either.

Contrasting appearances of black hair and white hair.

It was Leo and Selia.

“It’s our class president!”

“As expected, he looks cool!”

The female students from Class 5 cheered enthusiastically.

“Usually she’s, how should I put it, dignified, but dressed like that she’s definitely pretty.”

“Selia! You’re beautiful!”

From Class 1, cheers erupted regardless of gender.

Selia, who was usually dignified and confident, was popular among both men and women.

Since she had dressed beautifully in a red dress, the atmosphere couldn’t help but be enthusiastic.

“But why does it have to be Class 1’s vice president!”

“But why does it have to be that Class 5 president!”

The two classes that simultaneously burst out with the same complaint glared at each other.

Hallind and Sedjen.

The rivalry between these two professors with high reputations at Lumern was already famous.

Of course, it was Sedjen’s one-sided declaration of rivalry, but thanks to that, Class 5 and Class 1 inevitably developed a sense of rivalry.

When Selia appeared, Rodren Empire students naturally flocked to her as well.

As the Rodren Empire students gathered like that, Leo naturally slipped away and came to where Class 5 was.

“Why are you here already? Chelsea is over there talking with them.”

When Cal asked with a puzzled expression, Leo shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not a place for me to fit in.”

“Not a place for you to fit in? Aren’t they all from the western exam?”

When Iliana asked with a fork in her mouth, Leo chuckled.

“Even if they’re from the west, they’re all from the Rodren Empire. I’m from a different country.”

“Aha!”

The western entrance exam was mostly Rodren Empire students.

Since the Rodren Empire itself was a massive empire encompassing the entire west, it couldn’t be helped.

“Class president! You’ll dance with me during dance time later, right?”

“You have to dance with me too~”

“Leo, you bastard!”

“You’re good at academics and popular too?”

When the Class 5 female students spoke to Leo with smiles, the male students grabbed Leo and shook him vigorously.

“Hehe. Everyone seems to be having a lively time.”

“Oh! Associate Professor Sena!”

Assistant homeroom professor Sena approached Class 5’s area with a smile.

“I’m so happy that none of our class received withdrawal recommendations. Let’s continue studying hard!”

Seeing Sena’s bright smile, the students made touched expressions.

To Class 5 students who always received Hallind’s stern education, Sena was like an oasis in the desert.

As the lively atmosphere continued, the auditorium lights went out.

At the same time, two people appeared on the platform.

“Everyone~ Hello!”

With the appearance of Hallind and Artion, the homeroom teachers of Class 5 and Class 8 known as the terror of first years, silence suddenly fell over the bustling party venue.

“Why, why are you all like this? Parties are supposed to be fun, so you don’t need to be quiet.”

Even at those words, students couldn’t easily start talking.

When Artion was about to make a tearful expression.

Professor Hallind spoke into the microphone.

“Enjoy yourselves, while I’m being nice about it.”

“Waaaah.”

“So very fun.”

“Hahaha.”

As if nothing had happened, students began chattering.

Watching the students become noisy again, Artion said.

“Please listen while enjoying yourselves. We’ll now announce the grades.”

‘No! You told us to enjoy ourselves!’

‘Why are they announcing grades in a public setting!’

“First, we’ll announce the top three students by major subject scores, then announce the year representatives.”

Professor Artion smiled brightly.

“Also, overall rankings will be posted throughout the party venue, so please check them.”

Assistant professors could be seen bringing covered bulletin boards.

Finally, Hallind added.

“And this party is a place to comfort departing students. Keep that fact in mind.”

The party atmosphere became cold.

“Cruel. It’s cruel. Anyway, this school is too good at stimulating students.”

Cal clicked his tongue.

Announcing excellent students while saying it’s a place to comfort students who received withdrawal recommendations.

This was a kind of message to mid-tier students.

Two messages: work hard to move up, and you could end up like them anytime.

“Then we’ll announce the top students by department. First, let’s start with the Knight Department. The Knight Department’s 1st place is.”

Drums rolled as spotlights began moving around the party venue.

“Selia Jerdinger from Class 1! Congratulations!”

Spotlights poured onto Selia all at once.

“Now, everyone applaud!”

Clap clap clap clap clap-

Applause poured out.

Selia brushed her hair back and smiled brightly.

Her confident appearance was very much like Selia.

“Next, 2nd place is Duran Moira from Class 1!”

Spotlights poured onto Duran with his arms crossed, but he was frowning as if displeased.

“Elegant! So elegant! Student Selia! Student Duran! I’m so proud of you! Literally separated by a paper-thin margin for 1st and 2nd place!”

Professor Sedjen shed tears and applauded from below the platform.

“3rd place is Chen Xia from Class 10!”

Chen Xia, wearing traditional clothing with the broad and elegant atmosphere characteristic of the Eastern Region, smiled brightly while receiving the spotlight with her hands tucked in her sleeves.

“Woo-! Leo oppa didn’t make it into the top three!”

“It can’t be helped. Those guys are called the monster trio by the Knight Department students.”

As Chelsea clenched her fist in frustration, Iliana shook her head.

“Next is the Magic Studies Department. The first place in Magic Studies goes to… Avad Rwallin from Class 8! Avad! Congratulations!”

When his assigned student took first place, Artion smiled brightly and waved his hand.

“Of course he would!”

Chelsea snorted and crossed her arms with a triumphant expression.

“Second place goes to Chelsea Rwallin from Class 5!”

When the spotlight suddenly poured on her, she looked a bit flustered.

“Huh, me?”

“Third place goes to Emio Ruchan from Class 2. Congratulations.”

As the Magic Studies Department announcement ended, a strange atmosphere flowed through the entire party hall.

Everyone was focusing on one student.

“Chloe’s practical exam being scored as zero really hurt her.”

Cal muttered bitterly.

“Sob! Student Chloe! Originally! Originally Student Chloe would have been first place…! Sob! Never be discouraged or give up!”

“You’re noisy, you’re disrupting the announcement. Take him away.”

Seeing Sedjen wailing sorrowfully, Hallind gestured coldly with his chin.

Several assistants hurriedly supported Sedjen and took him away.

The Class 1 students also had a gloomy atmosphere.

When Chloe gave a bitter smile, Duran approached with a sneer.

“Chloe Muller. You’re a disgrace to the entire class.”

“Sorry, Duran.”

“You beat me and became class president. So I won’t tolerate any more disgraceful behavior. If you disappoint me further, I’ll take the class president position.”

After saying that, Duran abruptly left.

Cal, who was watching this scene, muttered.

“The moment that bastard said that, the acceptance necklace clutched in Chloe’s hand…”

Actually, aside from Duran, all the Class 1 students comforted Chloe.

It was a moment that showed Chloe’s popularity as class president.

“Next is the Summoning Department! First place in Summoning Department goes to Woreden Taiden from Class 2!”

The spotlight poured down, but Woreden only maintained an expressionless face.

“Following that, second place goes to Eliza Herginn from Class 6! It was indeed a very close margin.”

Eliza, sitting on an elegant and plush chair that appeared from somewhere, was trimming her nails.

However, unlike her usual relaxed face, she was glaring at Woreden with a slightly annoyed expression.

Third place was taken by Jureden Rsen from Class 8.

“I thought Leo would definitely make it into the top 3 in one of the three subjects.”

When Iliana spoke as if surprised, Leo shrugged his shoulders.

“That could happen.”

“Aren’t you being too relaxed? If you don’t make it into the top 3 of any department subject, becoming year representative is out of the question!”

“Then next, I’ll announce the midterm exam top student. The year representative.”

Tension filled the air at those words.

With everyone focusing on the nine students, Artion opened his mouth.

“First place in the midterm exams! Leo Flobe!”
