594.
The one who claimed victory in the fierce Hero Festival was none other than Lumern.
Lumern students gathered around the platform where the victory trophy was placed.
Hark, who could be called the representative of Lumern students, climbed onto the platform and lifted the trophy.
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
Lumern students cheered loudly at the sight.
Not just Lumern students.
The humans who had visited Lumern to watch rose from their seats and sent enthusiastic cheers and applause.
Since it was a competition between Hero Academies representing different races.
It was natural for the entire race watching the victory to bask in joy.
Students from other schools who had narrowly missed victory after fierce competition wore frustrated expressions.
Watching that scene, Leo muttered.
“Senior Hark looks incredibly happy.”
“He must be happy. Senior Hark worked the hardest in this Hero Festival. But I wonder why he threw himself into it like that?”
Selia tilted her head curiously.
As she said, the one who had shown incredible performance in this Hero Festival was surprisingly Hark.
Until just before the Hero Festival, Hark had shown no motivation, complaining about being worked to death until graduation, but as soon as the Hero Festival began, he threw himself into it with burning eyes.
“He was grinding his teeth saying that since he was already suffering, he had to bring home the victory cup by any means necessary.”
“Ah.”
Selia nodded as if she understood.
Newspaper reporters continuously operated their magical devices to take photos of Hark.
“By the way, shouldn’t you be the one holding that as student council president?”
When Selia muttered in a slightly sulky voice, Leo chuckled.
“I didn’t do anything in this Hero Festival.”
This time, Leo had participated thoroughly only in tournament management.
“That’s true, but.”
Even so, since Leo was the one representing the school, Selia couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“It’s a great opportunity to elevate the family name.”
“Aren’t the titles of youngest Lumern student council president and youngest hero enough?”
“It’s better to grab as much as you can when you have the chance, right?”
Selia smiled brightly and swept her hair back.
“By the way, is the closing ceremony next week? Second year is finally ending.”
“We still have final exams left.”
After the major event called the Hero Festival ended, Lumern would immediately enter final exams.
It was an extremely harsh academic schedule, but students who were already thoroughly accustomed to Lumern’s coldness accepted it calmly.
“I finished my exam preparation early, so I’m fine.”
Selia smiled confidently.
“Oh, come to think of it, I heard from family members who came to watch that they’ll be deciding on the territory you’ll receive soon?”
As direct bloodline of Jerdinger, Leo was set to inherit part of the vast Jerdinger territory.
“I’ll have to come to the Jerdinger family during winter break because of that.”
“Really? Got it.”
***
After final exams ended.
As always, joy and sorrow crossed among the students.
There were students who got to stay at school and students who had to leave.
After the closing ceremony ended.
Second-year students held end-of-term parties by dormitory.
“Waaaah! Sia! Chloe! You won’t pretend not to know me later, right?”
“Why would we pretend not to know you? We were in the same dormitory. Even though we won’t be learning in the same space next year, we’re friends.”
“Sister!”
Chen Xia smiled bitterly and comforted the female students who burst into tears.
“Stop crying. This isn’t the end.”
“Sister Chloe!”
“I’m a year younger than you.”
Chloe made a troubled expression.
Chloe, who had been comforting the female students, stood up from her seat.
“Let’s put away all the gloomy atmosphere. There are people staying and people leaving. But what’s important is that we all safely spent the year.”
There had been several major incidents this year too.
Even amid all that, everyone had made it to this point safely without any student suffering an unexpected accident.
“We all joined forces and overcame adversity together. I think it was possible because we became one as the same dormitory. So we’ll always be friends from now on too.”
The female students who had been sniffling for not advancing and the male students who had worn gloomy expressions also shook off their depression.
“Sia, as dormitory head, you say something too.”
At Chloe’s words, Chen Xia spoke.
“Thank you all for following along well during the year. At first I was worried whether I could do well, but thanks to everyone, I was able to perform my dormitory head duties excellently. Thank you all.”
Chen Xia smiled brightly and looked at Leo.
“Now it’s Leo’s turn.”
“Everyone worked hard during the year.”
At Leo’s calm words, Glory students burst into quiet laughter.
“The class president’s congratulatory speech is always short.”
Iliana shook her head from side to side.
“Anyway!”
Raising the glass of juice in her hand, Iliana said.
“Let’s enjoy this moment today!”
Everyone shook off the gloomy atmosphere and enjoyed the party.
“Oh! Professor Sena!”
“Why are you only coming now! You said you’d come quickly!”
“Sorry, everyone. The faculty meeting ran late.”
Glory Dormitory supervisor Professor Sena arrived late to the party.
Iliana said to Sena.
“Professor Sena! It’s vacation now, right? There won’t be penalty points for breaking school rules or anything like that, right?”
Seeing Iliana ask with sparkling eyes, Sena made a troubled expression.
“That’s true, but… what school rule are you planning to break?”
“I’m not breaking school rules, just suggesting we loosen up a bit.”
Iliana fumbled and pulled out a bottle from under the table.
“If not now, when else would we drink alcohol at school?”
“When on earth did you bring that into the dormitory?”
“Huh?!”
When Chloe glared, Iliana flinched and quickly hid behind Chen Xia.
“I, I got permission from Sia before bringing it!”
“Sia!”
“What’s the big deal? We haven’t drunk it yet, right?”
“Really.”
Chloe let out a deep sigh.
Unlike Chloe who was strict about dormitory rules, Chen Xia sometimes let students relax.
Watching that scene, Sena said.
“Normally it wouldn’t be allowed. But since today is what it is, I’ll turn a blind eye just once. But you know you can’t drink too much, right?”
“Ooooh!”
Seeing Sena wink, the students cheered loudly.
“Why are you all so desperate to drink that stuff?”
“Aren’t you going to drink, Chloe?”
“…I’m going to drink it.”
Chloe pouted her lips.
As alcohol was brought in, the party atmosphere became even more lively.
“Kail was totally amazing! So I’ve decided! I’m going to create the Church of Kail!”
“Miss Iliana, you’ve had too much to drink. Please calm down.”
Chen Xia tried to calm down Iliana, who was shouting loudly with a face flushed red from alcohol.
“Leo, you have a drink too.”
Chloe came over to Leo’s side holding a bottle of alcohol.
“You seem drunk?”
“What are you talking about? I’m not drunk at all.”
Chloe widened her eyes and shook her head.
Looking at Chloe like that, Leo glanced at her hand.
He looked at the large drinking cup in Chloe’s hand.
‘It’s strong alcohol, but she’s downing it like it’s beer.’
Leo let out a hollow laugh as he drank the alcohol Chloe poured for him.
“Leo! Accept my drink too!”
“Me too! Me too!”
The dormitory students crowded around Leo.
“I’m thinking of finishing all my vacation homework and going on a training trip.”
“I’m going to visit that guy’s family villa.”
“What are you doing during vacation, Class President?”
“Well, I think I’ll be going to the territory I’m inheriting from my mother’s side?”
“Gasp! Inheritance?”
“Ah, come to think of it, Leo is a direct descendant of the Jerdinger family.”
“Inheritance at that age, I’m jealous.”
Exclamations burst out from here and there.
“Class President is totally bourgeois!”
“The Raden family is also a prestigious house. You’re also your family’s heir, so why are you so envious?”
“Why wouldn’t I be envious?! Father said he won’t leave me a single penny until I inherit the family! I’ll be living on allowance until then!”
“How much are you inheriting?”
“Since it’s Jerdinger, it must be quite big, right?”
“I’m jealous. In my father’s generation, our family was split up and I have to share with my brother, so the territory I’ll receive got smaller.”
“Having territory in the first place means you have tax income. Leo won’t have to worry about money while attending the Academy.”
Attending Lumern involves many expenses.
Watching the students muttering enviously, Chen Xia tilted her head.
“Is inheriting land such an important matter?”
“Of course!”
“In noble families, civil wars even break out within the family because of that.”
“Really? Unless it’s land the size of a small kingdom, what problem could there be?”
When Chen Xia tilted her head, the students fell silent.
‘Oh right. She’s the heir to the Shan Empire.’
The two human empires.
To Chen Xia, the future owner of the Shan Empire that encompasses the Eastern Continent among Rodren and Shan, land at the level of noble families didn’t resonate much.
“Oh my~ Your future Imperial Majesty~”
Iliana rubbed her hands together and quickly sat down next to Chen Xia.
“Please take good care of me when you become Emperor! Could you perhaps grant me a little bit of land?”
Watching Iliana speak jokingly, Chen Xia made a troubled expression.
“Even if I become Emperor, I can’t just give away land carelessly.”
“Why? When you become Emperor, it’ll all be your land.”
“No, it’s Lord Leo’s land.”
“….”
“….”
Watching Chen Xia speak with a bright smile, the students muttered.
“Sia is drunk too.”
“Then Leo will own the entire Shan Empire in the future?”
“Totally jealous!”
“Class President! No! Lord Class President, please grant us some land!”
“Leo! You can’t forget about me either, right?”
The students who took it as a joke burst into laughter!
‘It doesn’t seem like a joke though.’
Leo narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Xia.
Chen Xia, whose eyes met his, smiled brightly and waved her hand.
And so the enjoyable time passed.
By the time it was late dawn, the only students still awake were Leo and Chloe.
The drunk students were lying asleep here and there in the lounge.
“Mmm- Playing like this makes it feel like it’s really over.”
Watching Chloe stretch and speak, Leo let out an admiring sigh.
“You hold your liquor well.”
“Do I?”
Chloe tilted her head.
With her reddened face, Chloe smiled brightly.
“Anyway Leo. You worked hard this year. Please take care of me next year too.”
Seeing that, Leo chuckled.
“Yeah, please take care of me too.”
***
Leo, who arrived in Delan, the capital of the Kingdom of Delaad, via Warp Gate, immediately headed to the manor.
‘Having to go home secretly. This is troublesome.’
The first Hero in the history of the Kingdom of Delaad.
Moreover, since becoming an All Class following in the footsteps of Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, Leo’s fame within the Kingdom of Delaad had long surpassed even the royal family.
It wasn’t that Leo had done anything specifically for the Kingdom of Delaad.
Just by greatly elevating the kingdom’s name, Leo was already revered as a national hero within the kingdom.
‘Leo, you must! You must come home secretly?’
Recalling Raina’s request, Leo checked his pulled-up hood and shook his head.
Even at this Festival of Heroes, not a single person from the Flobe family could come.
Anything related to him always drew attention.
‘The Delad royal family also blocked some things, right?’
Since it was revealed that Leo’s maternal family was Jerdinger.
The Kingdom of Delaad was wary of a situation where the Flobe family might go into exile.
Because they might lose the first Hero of the Kingdom of Delaad that they had finally produced to the Empire.
The Rodren Empire was a country that could sufficiently provide treatment that the Kingdom of Delaad couldn’t offer.
‘Father must have a headache.’
Thinking of his father, Leo smiled bitterly as he arrived at the manor.
“Father, Mother. I’m ho…”
“Oh my. Leo. Welcome home.”
“…Where are you going?”
Leo asked blankly, looking at the household members moving busily around the manor.
“Yes. Tomorrow we’re planning to go to Mother’s hometown with the whole family.”
“Mother’s hometown is Jerdinger.”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
Raina smiled brightly at Leo’s question.
“You’re going to be granted territory this time.”
“Yes.”
“The negotiations will continue for quite a long time.”
Since many interests were at stake within Jerdinger, there was always a lot of commotion whenever territory was granted to direct bloodline members.
“The old fogeys of the family are bound to cause trouble.”
Leo could immediately tell that by “old fogeys of the family,” she was referring to the Elder Council.
“Your mother was a direct member of Jerdinger, you know? So I know very well which lands are worth their weight in gold.”
“They’ll probably give me something good without me having to do anything.”
“Son.”
“Yes.”
“When they’re giving, you need to squeeze out as much as possible.”
Leo shook his head as he watched Raina burst into laughter with a “Ho ho ho!”
