640.

The howling that burst from Leo’s mouth overwhelmed the surroundings.

“That guy isn’t even a real suin…!”

“His howling is stronger than those Ajonia bastards!”

“He uses Star Magic and dragon language magic too!”

“Ah! Seriously! What can’t our president do!”

Voices of exasperation poured from the mouths of the 4th and 5th years in the vanguard.

But even while doing so, they firmly held their formation.

It was clearly different from before.

‘It has to be different.’

Leo’s intention was clear.

To sweep away the seniors head-on.

They were initially flustered by Leo’s uncharacteristic aggressiveness, but that was only momentary.

Now that they knew the opponent was aggressive, they just needed to devise strategies accordingly.

Even if Leo’s movements changed, it wouldn’t matter.

Since this was the Leo that the 4th and 5th years knew, they could respond to him plenty.

They also showed different coping abilities against his howling than before.

Howling was a kind of momentum.

A technique that hammered momentum into the opponent’s body through hearing.

The method to counter such howling was simple.

To raise one’s own momentum against that momentum.

“Haaah!”

“Hooo!”

“Hryaah!”

“What’s with a girl going ‘Hryaah!’ It should be ‘Hryahap!'”

“Shut up!”

Leo smiled slyly as he watched the 4th and 5th years shake off their own momentum while shouting battle cries.

Seeing things like that, Lumern students were indeed Lumern students.

‘They still have room to spare.’

Looking at the vanguard that had become even more solid, Leo raised his sword.

Woong-!

Gray aura scattered around Leo’s body.

Those in the vanguard who saw Leo’s aura showed tense expressions.

It was already a famous story that Leo handled various attributes of aura.

Among them, the most destructive was Jerdinger’s flames.

But now the students of Lumern knew.

That Leo was most powerful when he emitted that gray aura.

“Come to think of it, doesn’t that aura… resemble Kail’s aura?”

“That guy is All-Class, isn’t he. Same as Kail.”

“Right. Do All-Class ability users have the same aura too?”

‘Because I am Kail?’

Leo let out a hollow laugh and muttered inwardly, but he couldn’t tell them that story straight out.

‘And it’s not me who will be fighting you today.’

The gray aura began to be tinged with golden color.

Golden light burst from Leo’s red eyes.

The faces of the students in the vanguard changed drastically upon seeing it.

‘The atmosphere changed again?’

Leo gathered his aura and thrust his sword toward the sky.

Sgak-!

A crescent-shaped golden sword energy flew into the sky.

The students positioned in the rear who saw it tilted their heads back.

“What? Where did he shoot that?”

“Isn’t that going to fall back down as is?”

When everyone showed puzzled expressions.

The golden sword energy that had soared into the sky exploded.

And…

Kugagagagagagak-!

“…!”

“What is this!”

“Mages! Deploy shield magic!”

A rain of sword energy began falling from the sky.

Sword Rain.

It was a technique Arron often used when facing multiple enemies, literally a technique where sword energy fell like rain.

‘When Arron uses it, it really pours down like a downpour.’

He could feel the 4th and 5th years panicking at the completely unexpected attack.

“Takhon! I think it would be better to pull back the defense line for now!”

“No! That’s what Leo wants! If the front breaks through like this, the rear will just collapse to him!”

Eren spoke urgently in response to Niel’s words.

There was no student among the 4th and 5th years who could keep up with Leo’s speed while stopping Leo.

Takhon, who heard their conversation, gripped his shield tightly and said.

“We stop Leo!”

At those words, the vanguard who had fallen into some confusion regained their senses and took their positions.

Leo charged even faster toward the defense line meant to stop him.

Hwaleuluk-!

Golden flames flared up on Leo’s body and then disappeared.

“Wait! Why isn’t he slowing down?”

“Is he planning to collide like this?”

“No way! Even if it’s Leo, if he collides with us like this, he’ll obviously get trampled!”

While panicking, they quickly readjusted their weapons.

A female student heavily armed in plate armor blocked Leo’s path as he closed the distance in an instant.

She looked at Leo with a tense face and raised her mace.

Hwaak-!

The mace came down toward Leo’s face.

An attack with enough power to turn even rocks to powder with just a graze.

But she knew this attack wouldn’t work on Leo.

‘There’s no way something like this would hit!’

He would probably dodge the attack and then exploit the opening to attack her.

Originally, she should have pushed Leo away with her large shield rather than attacking, but she changed the order.

‘If he dodges my attack, I’ll push him away with my shield!’

The face of the 4th year Knight Department female student who was readjusting her shield with that thought was instantly colored with shock.

‘Huh? He’s not dodging?’

She could see in her eyes the mace heading toward Leo’s forehead.

The moment she tensed, wondering if he would dodge at the last second.

Tuk-

The mace touched Leo.

“Huh?”

The moment the female student, who hadn’t expected her attack to actually hit Leo, let out a dumbfounded sound.

Kwajik-!

The mace shattered into pieces like an egg hitting a rock.

Leo struck away the female student who had attacked him with his arm.

Crack-!

“Guwak?!”

She was sent flying miserably into the sky.

Starting with that…

Kwagagagang-!

“Uaaak!”

“Kkeuk?!”

Like a tank charging into an infantry unit.

The Knight Department students who collided with Leo began bouncing away.

When they attacked, their attacks simply bounced right off.

Not a single scratch appeared on Leo’s body.

Defense power beyond imagination.

“Wh-what! What is this! Why aren’t our attacks working… Kkeuk!”

One 5th year Knight Department student was struck by Leo and shot straight up into the sky.

What Leo was currently wrapped in was Dweno’s aura.

‘And this kind of charge is also Dweno’s fighting style.’

They didn’t know it, but what they were currently facing was essentially a part of Arron, history’s strongest warrior, and Dweno, the greatest vanguard.

Arron and Dweno’s techniques and power far exceeded the 4th and 5th years’ expectations.

Their strategy against Leo had been distorted from the start.

Hwaleuleuleuk-

Leo looked at the flame aura that rose before him and smiled slightly.

“You can’t go any further!”

The vanguards hadn’t been completely broken through yet.

Leo’s brutish charge had disrupted their formation, but it hadn’t collapsed.

If they could succeed in stopping Leo even once, they could proceed according to plan from that point.

For that purpose, Niel blocked Leo’s path.

In the case of such charging attacks, once speed and momentum decrease, they eventually get stopped.

And Niel, as a user of flame aura, had pure attack power that was undoubtedly the highest among the 5th years.

Beside such Niel, Takhon blocked the way with twin swords.

Takhon wrapped in wind aura.

“I’ll provide cover, Niel.”

“Please do.”

Fire and wind aura. Their compatibility was very good.

When Niel launched a big attack, Takhon would coordinate to eliminate gaps and pressure Leo.

No matter how bad their relationship was, they weren’t foolish enough to maintain their rivalry even at this moment.

If they had, they wouldn’t have been able to maintain their position as the top of their department for four years.

‘The current two tops of Lumern Knight Department.’

Compared to Ris and Hark during their 5th year, these two were definitely lacking.

‘But that’s only when compared to those two. They’re not weak.’

These two were skilled enough to dampen Leo’s momentum.

Leo was also currently in a surrounded situation.

It would be troublesome if his momentum broke here.

Gooooo-!

More students crowded around to support Niel and Takhon.

Seeing that sight, Leo smiled.

“Senior Niel. So when are you getting married?”

“Huh?”

Niel’s face was instantly colored with confusion.

Seeing that, Takhon flinched.

“Niel! Focus!”

“Hah?!”

Niel, who had flinched, tried to swing her sword, but Leo, who had penetrated that momentary gap, was faster in grabbing Niel’s neck.

“Kkeuk!”

Niel tried to shake off Leo’s hand, but Leo was faster in pushing Niel toward Takhon.

Leaving the two who had gotten tangled and fallen behind, Leo ran out without reducing his speed.

“Why did you stop!”

‘I was had!’

Realizing that Leo had used fairy magic to speak so only she could hear, Niel gritted her teeth and sprang up from her position.

‘To catch me off guard like this. That’s not like Master Leo!’

That’s why she had fallen for it.

One might think it was cowardly, but in this current situation, making such a mistake was her own immaturity.

Kwang-!

“Kyaak!”

“He broke through!”

“Stop him!”

“Why is he so tough!”

Screams erupted from everywhere.

In that situation, Leo raised his hand.

Black mana rippled from his hand.

Kwak-!

Leo pressed his hand to the ground.

Black energy rippled across the ground where the Knight Department students pursuing Leo were standing, then grabbed their feet.

“What is this!”

“Dragon language magic?!”

‘Shadow Swamp.’

It was magic that Risinass had used.

Leo’s red eyes, having caught the Knight Department students’ ankles, turned toward the Magic Department students who were preparing magic.

They tried to respond calmly.

But…

Gooooo-!

Star mana swirled from Leo’s body.

Leo, who had quickly finished his incantation, released his magic.

“Lux Fragment.”

Kiing-!

Star fragments scattered in all directions.

This was also magic that Luna had favored when facing multiple enemies.

Pababababat-!

“Keheuk!”

“Block it!”

“Wh-what kind of magic is this!”

“That Leo! Did he create unique magic again?!”

“Damn! The aura skills and aura armor from earlier were completely new too!”

No.

Neither the aura skills nor the magic.

They all belonged not to Leo, but to Arron and Dweno, Risinass, and Luna.

In a sense, the 4th and 5th years were fighting the Great Heroes in real time.

The unity of the 4th and 5th years appeared solid on the surface.

Even when shaken, it didn’t easily come apart, and even when taking a strong hit, it didn’t immediately collapse.

But that unity was only displayed when facing enemies within their expected range.

If they had to fight against an unknown existence that transcended their common sense.

“Takhon! What are you doing! Command properly!”

“Aden! What’s the next strategy!”

“You! Hurry up and stop Leo!”

“Can’t you see I can’t move right now?!”

“What? Are you rebelling against your senior right now!”

They collapsed rapidly.

A pathetic sight that was hard to believe came from 4th and 5th years.

However, no matter how excellent the individuals in a group might be, if they lack unity, this is bound to happen.

Unity doesn’t just become strong when people work together in harmony.

It also grows stronger through fighting and doubting each other.

Only when you clearly understand not just the opponent’s strengths but their weaknesses can you truly work in sync.

But the 4th and 5th years had never pondered such things for a long time.

‘Because they only had to follow one person’s words.’

Runba bit his lips tightly.

They had crumbled much faster than he had anticipated.

“I never thought we’d end up like this without even being able to lift a finger. Still, this is too severe.”

When Runba was feeling anxious, Leo appeared before him.

“You know the 4th and 5th years are generally similar to you, Runba senior?”

“What?”

Leo said with a bitter smile.

“The seniors lack the fighting spirit to strive upward.”
