635.

[Graaaaaah!]

[He’s coming! Fall back! Fall back!]

[Waaaaaaah! Don’t come this way! Go over there!]

[Hey! That’s dirty!]

[Aaaaaaah!]

The frontline vanguards who stepped forward to stop Leo were being brutally beaten.

The professors watching the devastating scene of carnage unfolding before their eyes unconsciously covered their faces.

Especially the Knight Academy professors in charge of the 4th and 5th years looked even more devastated.

Leo, who had stolen the seniors’ fighting spirit by unleashing howls without rest, swept through them like a typhoon.

The 4th and 5th years were overwhelmed by Leo’s thrilling appearance and were being helplessly pushed around.

Even in the midst of all this, they were definitely stopping Leo, as befitting those who had advanced to the 4th and 5th years at Lumern.

The unity that was considered the weakness of the 4th and 5th years was still not a major problem so far.

‘So far.’

Hallind looked at Leo on the screen.

Leo’s current fighting method was clearly different from the Leo up until now.

‘He never loses his composure in any situation and finds the opponent’s weaknesses to exploit them.’

But now that Leo was pushing his opponents to the point where he looked brutish.

‘He’s blatantly exposing his own strategy.’

The method to deal with an enemy charging to crush everything in sight is surprisingly simple.

You just need to narrowly dodge the charging enemy and deliver a fatal blow to the exposed flank.

The 4th and 5th years would aim for that and formulate their strategy.

But what if that strategy fails?

‘From then on, it will be determined by how good their unity is.’

When you fail to defeat an enemy with a clear strategy, two situations arise.

‘Either you pull yourself together and try again. Or you waver.’

When there’s a clear leader, you can reformulate your strategy.

But what if there’s no such leader?

‘The moment opinions clash. Cracks will start to form.’

That’s exactly what Leo is aiming for.

‘All the 4th and 5th years still have room to spare.’

Except for when they were first ambushed, even while being thoroughly ravaged by Leo, no student was pathetically rendered unable to fight and declared dead.

Although they were crying for him not to come to them, if it were really serious, they wouldn’t even be able to make such sounds.

‘It should be soon. When they really hit the wall.’

Having thought that far, Hallind turned his head.

On that screen, he could see the freshmen searching for Cal.

***

“Wow~ I’ve completely made it big, haven’t I?”

Cal stood in the middle of one of the countless uninhabited islands in Lake Lumeria, looking up at the blue sky and bursting into laughter.

“Hundreds of Lumerne 1st Year Students are conducting a large-scale raid just to catch me. Heh. That’s me alright. Worthy of being called a hero.”

Cal, who had been spinning the key in his hand like a pencil, suddenly knelt down and placed his hands on the ground.

“Worthy of being called a hero my ass! This is just getting ganged up on!”

Even though they were freshmen, his opponents were Lumern’s freshmen, where there wasn’t a single person who wasn’t a genius!

And not just one, but a whopping 500 of them!

During the entrance exam of the current 2nd years, who could be called his direct juniors.

Cal had faced juniors who were targeting him before, but it wasn’t in the hundreds like now.

‘Besides, strictly speaking, those guys back then were examinees, not students!’

The difference between students who passed Lumern’s entrance exam and those who didn’t is enormous.

‘The professors said they would make the students realize their shortcomings, but honestly, the biggest shortcoming of freshmen is obvious.’

Cal, who had been despairing, let out a deep sigh.

‘Excessive confidence in their abilities. And absolute blind faith in their specs.’

No matter how talented they are, they’re still inexperienced youngsters in the end.

That’s why all the 1st years have a narrow view of the world.

‘Leo wasn’t like that. Well, that guy is a complete cheat, an irregular, so he’s an exception.’

Cal sat down cross-legged with a thud, rested his chin on his hand, and began to assess the current situation.

‘The reason Professor Hallind chose me of all people is simple. When it comes down to it, I look easy to the 1st years.’

Although he had earned the title of hero, Cal’s actual combat power wasn’t that high.

There were probably some among the 1st years who thought they could give him a good fight.

Cal looked around his surroundings.

‘What’s advantageous for me is the terrain. Since it’s not an open field, there are many things I can prepare. Even so…’

Cal let out a hollow laugh.

‘I feel like I could somehow handle up to about 100 people, but 500… Isn’t that a bit too harsh?’

After grumbling to himself for a moment, Cal threw the key in his hand with all his might.

The key that flew far away soon flashed brightly and fell back onto Cal’s palm.

“Hmm. It seems impossible to hide the key somewhere or remove it.”

Cal nodded and got up with a grunt.

“Well, strictly speaking, it’s not about defeating 500 people, but ultimately it’s tag, right? I just need to avoid getting caught as much as possible, right? Besides, this uninhabited island. It’s Island No. 1.”

The islands in Lake Lumeria, except for the Isle of the Summoned Beasts, are called by numbers by the students.

Island No. 1 meant the largest island.

“That means I have plenty of time to prepare.”

Cal spun the key with his finger and grinned wickedly.

“Now then, shall I show my juniors what kind of place Lumern is? Muhahahaha!”

Cal laughed evilly and entered the forest.

***

“First, let’s find Senior Sia.”

On the beautiful sandy beach.

Luke, who had been admiring Lake Lumeria, turned to look at the 2nd years and spoke.

At those words, Aina, who had been staring intently at the lush forest, nodded.

Currently, all the 2nd years were on the sandy beach of the uninhabited island.

Despite being a lake, this island had a sandy beach.

“Wow~ The seniors were right. Island No. 6 is perfect for swimming?”

Juwen looked around in admiration.

Watching Juwen, Havedon narrowed his eyes.

“You sound carefree. What we have to face is Senior Chen Xia.”

“I know. I know that. I was just saying!”

Juwen squinted his eyes.

Shasha, who was standing next to Juwen, stared intently into the forest and said.

“By the way. It’s completely like night in there.”

Even though the sun was at its zenith, the forest inside the uninhabited island was as dark as night.

This was because the densely grown trees blocked the sunlight.

“This is troublesome.”

When Elle Jane muttered in a serious voice, Aina made a puzzled expression.

“Is there some problem?”

It was Fritz, from the Department of Magic’s Shadow division, who answered that question.

“There’s a problem. A very big one.”

“Huh?”

“The problem is that we have to face Senior Chen Xia.”

“Ah.”

Aina’s eyes widened as she understood Fritz’s words.

Luke, who didn’t understand those words, made a puzzled expression.

“Aina, what does Fritz mean?”

“Darkness is Shadow’s battlefield.”

“Ah….”

Luke’s face also turned serious at Aina’s answer.

The other 2nd years looked puzzled at that reaction.

“Even though Sia-senpai is the princess of Shan… is it really serious enough to react like that?”

“If it’s Sia-senpai instead of Selia-senpai and Duran-senpai, it should be somewhat easier.”

Selia and Duran, who despite being from the Knight Academy, had wider-range attacks than most from the Department of Magic.

Compared to those two, Chen Xia was definitely less burdensome.

It wasn’t that Chen Xia was weaker than Selia and Duran, but rather a difference in aura tendencies.

In any case, the water aura that Chen Xia handled was an aura with strong defensive tendencies.

Elle Jane snorted at her classmates’ words.

“You’re saying that because you don’t know how terrifying Shadow is in the darkness.”

There was no way these students who had just become 2nd years would have seen Shadow fight.

“I see. What the professors said we need to improve on.”

Havedon narrowed his eyes.

Juwen nodded at those words.

“Combat against Hero Hunters.”

In fact, there would normally be no occasion for Lumern 2nd years to face Hero Hunters.

Yet making them experience this from the first day of school meant.

“Somehow it feels like 2nd year life will be rough too.”

Snap-! Shasha, who folded her fan, let out a small sigh.

At those words, Aina said.

“There’s no point standing here. Let’s go look for Sia-senpai first.”

The 2nd years nodded at those words.

“Form ranks. So we can respond to ambushes anytime, anywhere!”

“El! Fritz! Form a scouting team!”

The 2nd years began preparing quickly.

Meanwhile, Luke looked into the dark forest interior and shivered.

“I’m getting chills for some reason.”

***

“As expected, our 3rd years are incredibly capable. To find us this quickly.”

Elena was clapping her hands with a smile.

Elena, sitting cross-legged on top of her staff, looked at the 3rd years surrounding them with a relaxed expression.

“This is unexpected.”

Then Selia stepped forward and said.

“I didn’t expect you to be waiting so boldly like this. I thought you’d wage guerrilla warfare… Is this perhaps a trap?”

Seeing Selia looking around warily, Elena, who had been clapping, widened her eyes.

Then Elena, resting her elbow on her knee and propping her chin, made a mischievous expression.

“I was wondering what our 3rd year juniors, who thought they were perfect, were lacking… Indeed, there was this aspect. Well, your goal is too dazzling.”

Elena grumbled as she looked over the 3rd years with disapproving eyes.

“So dazzling it could blind you.”

When the 3rd years looked puzzled at those cryptic words.

“Now, this is what our juniors want, right?”

Elena took out a key from her bosom.

“Why don’t you try to take it?”

Flash-!

“Oh my?”

Intense lightning struck.

“Isn’t that too reckless?”

Duran, who had somehow gotten right in front of Elena, was reaching for the key.

Just as Duran was about to snatch the key from Elena’s hand with a sneer.

Whoosh-!

‘Already!’

Duran’s face stiffened slightly at the massive chunk of metal that filled his vision.

Crash-! Crack! Snap! Crunch! Bang!

The battle hammer swung with terrifying force struck Duran’s face directly.

Duran, sent flying, could only stop after breaking several trees.

Crackle- crackle-

Duran, who had protected his body using aura armor, got up.

But soon his legs gave out and he staggered.

Thud-!

Everyone’s gaze turned to the one who slammed the battle hammer to the ground.

“Without my permission, you cannot touch Elena-senpai or the key.”

At Lil’s emotionless voice, usually always kind and good-natured, the 3rd years unconsciously swallowed dry saliva.

They could literally feel overwhelming charisma.

When Lil was overwhelming the 3rd years with presence alone.

“Our Lil is so reliable, isn’t she?”

Grab-!

“Hueheueheueup?!”

Elena, who hugged Lil from behind, placed both hands on Lil’s chest.

“Um… Elena-senpai. Right now I’m showing the juniors a senior’s dignity for once, this important moment… Hiiik?!”

“Oh? As a senior, I find your flustered appearance cuter than your dignified one?”

Lil made a tearful face at Elena’s touch.

The 3rd year male students coughed and looked away.

Elena, who had been giggling with her chin on Lil’s shoulder, widened her eyes seeing that, then glanced downward and muttered.

“There’s a safe place here to securely store the key?”

“A safe place?”

When Lil tilted her head, Elena looked at the 3rd years and smiled wickedly.

“Do you know this? Lil is the type who looks thin when clothed? She’s actually incredibly amazing.”

Elena, with a witch-like smile, suddenly slipped her hand holding the key into Lil’s uniform shirt.

“Eek? S-senpai!”

When Elena withdrew her hand, Lil gasped and backed away, clutching her chest.

Looking at such Lil, Elena smiled brightly.

“With this, the male students can absolutely never touch the key.”

“Huh? Will this method work?”

Lil tilted her head.

The male students gaped.

“Of course it will.”

Elena, giggling, climbed onto her staff.

“Now then, Lil. Could I ask you to take the front?”

“I’m not confident, but I’ll do my best.”

“How reliable.”

Elena rode her staff high into the sky.

Whoooosh-!

Spiritual power began surging from Lil’s body.

“3rd year everyone.”

Thud-!

Lil, gripping the battle hammer with both hands, spoke in a low voice.

“I’ll show you how terrifying a senior can be.”
