65.

The next morning.

Since the Lumern students had been invited to Seirun last night, the next class was held at Lumern’s dormitory.

The reaction of the Seirun students who came to the dormitory was not much different from Lumern’s when they first came here.

“Oh my? You sleep in this place?”

“Could it be that Lumern’s finances are in trouble?”

“Can you really sleep in this place?”

Watching them show their disgust, Iliana crossed her arms and shook her head.

“What immature young masters and ladies.”

“You’re not one to talk when you showed a similar reaction to them just two days ago… Ugh?”

Cal, who was making a retort, got elbowed in the ribs by Iliana and collapsed.

With that, the Lumern and Seirun students each took their seats and picked up their writing materials.

“I have something I’m curious about.”

At that moment, a female student raised her hand.

“Hm? What are you curious about?”

When the friendly Cal asked with a smile, the Seirun female student asked with a puzzled expression.

“What level are you all among Lumern’s first years?”

“What level, you ask.”

“Well, it varies greatly from student to student.”

The Class 5 students looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

One Seirun male student crossed his arms and asked.

“Varies greatly? Don’t you separate into advanced, intermediate, and basic classes?”

“No. Unlike Seirun, which divides class levels by grades, all students at Lumern receive equal education.”

“So that’s Lumern’s system. Then this will be somewhat disappointing.”

At Chelsea’s explanation, the Seirun male student sighed and muttered.

Hearing those words, Chelsea’s eyes twitched.

“What do you mean disappointing?”

“I misspoke. I apologize if I offended you, lady. However, we are Seirun’s top 1st year class. We’re taking classes befitting that status. It’s not that Lumern’s ideal of giving equal educational opportunities to all students is wrong, but… I wonder if this will be a class worth listening to for us.”

Several Seirun students glanced at that male student.

However, the majority of Seirun students seemed to agree with his words.

“Wow, the way he talks is really annoying.”

“I merely stated the facts, lady.”

At that sight, Iliana flared up and shot up from her seat.

“Ha! If you’re so great, want to have a go!? Seirun does duel evaluations from the first year, right?”

“Sit down, Iliana.”

“Got it, class president.”

Of course, she immediately sat down at Leo’s words.

However, the overall atmosphere of Class 5 was murderous.

It was when the Seirun student was making an arrogant expression while looking at Class 5.

“I don’t know how amazing the classes you usually take are.”

Leo stepped forward.

“I don’t know how amazing you so-called top 1st year class kids are?”

“Isn’t that statement too reckless, even for Lumern’s year representative?”

The Seirun students flared up.

Leo made an indifferent expression.

“I just stated the facts. After fighting with that guy yesterday, I didn’t think you were particularly amazing.”

At Leo’s words, the face of the Seirun male student who had spoken carelessly was colored with shame.

He was the male student who had fought Leo yesterday and got one-sidedly beaten up.

“And weren’t you the ones who made reckless statements first?”

When Leo looked at the Seirun students with a cold expression, they flinched.

It was when a strange tension was flowing.

“Brr! It’s cold. Huh? What’s going on?”

The door opened and Runia appeared.

Looking at Runia who was making a puzzled expression, Ruka approached with a bitter smile.

“There was a bit of an argument.”

“Ru, Ruka! An argument!”

“It’s just a clash of opinions.”

Several students hurriedly tried to stop Ruka.

But it was already too late.

“Would you tell me about it, Ruka?”

Looking at Runia who asked in a gentle voice, Ruka told her about what had happened earlier.

“Hmm~”

Runia, who opened her eyes drowsily, made an apologetic expression.

“Lumern students. It seems our side made a slip of the tongue. Could you please understand generously as I’ll talk to them properly later?”

Looking at Runia speaking in a demure voice, the Class 5 male students made silly smiles.

“No! That can happen!”

“If Miss Runia says so!”

“Hahaha! We’re not offended at all!”

Several Class 5 female students glared at them sharply.

Cal stuck out his tongue.

“Is this the same person who was emanating such a murderous aura yesterday?”

“You’re telling me.”

Leo burst into a hollow laugh looking at Runia, who could easily act like a quiet and sharp honor student.

Runia looked at the top 1st year class students and smiled gently.

“Everyone! Having pride in your school is good, but shouldn’t a school’s greatness be proven through ability?”

“She’s pretty and has a kind personality too!”

“Wow! That’s an ideal elf!”

“Why don’t we have such a beauty among our school’s first years?”

Iliana shook her head at the sight of her completely smitten classmates muttering while looking at Runia’s back.

“Ugh, idiots. They just can’t help themselves when it comes to pretty women.”

“Iliana, if you would just keep your mouth shut…”

“What? What about my mouth?”

“Save me! Big sis! I won’t mess around!”

While Cal was getting grabbed by the collar by Iliana for unnecessarily teasing her.

The faces of the Seirun top 1st year class students who saw Runia’s face were turning pale.

Though it wasn’t visible from Lumern’s side, Runia’s face was murderousness itself.

As the situation came to a temporary conclusion.

Leo quietly said to Runia as she passed by his side.

“Your act is quite impressive?”

“Shut up.”

Runia, who shot him a glance, sat down in the Seirun students’ seats.

A little later, Hallind and Herdium entered the dormitory.

With Herdium standing to one side to observe, Hallind started the class.

“In the morning, I’ll give a lecture on Lumern’s major classes. Knight, Magic, Summoning. Gather according to your majors.”

At those words, the Lumern students scattered according to their majors.

However, the Seirun students hesitated, not knowing what to do.

“Lumern teacher.”

“There’s no title of teacher at Lumern, address me as professor.”

At Hallind’s words, Ruka, who had raised his hand, hesitated and then said.

“Professor Hallind. The Seirun students don’t have majors.”

“I know. Seirun students can choose whichever ability they specialize in.”

Only then did the Seirun students move.

As a result, Seirun was divided similarly as well.

Knights and mages were the most numerous, while summoning had the fewest.

‘Is Professor Hallind planning to conduct the classes by himself?’

‘Even for Professor Hallind, conducting specialized classes would be impossible.’

“Chelsea, Nella, Taide.”

At Hallind’s call, the three students stood up from their seats.

“You will conduct the classes.”

“Pardon?”

“Us, us?”

“Even so, Professor, having us conduct classes is…”

“Think of it as reviewing what you’ve learned. You are excellent students from each department. I believe you’re capable of explaining what you learn at Lumern, aren’t you?”

Even at those words, Nella and Taide hesitated.

But Chelsea stepped forward without hesitation.

The characteristic confidence of the renowned hero families was showing its power.

‘Classes taught by students. How interesting.’

Herdium’s eyes lit up.

‘It’s a bit puzzling that the student who’s the grade representative didn’t come forward, but… let’s see what level Lumern’s top students from each department are at.’

As Herdium showed interest, the exchange program classes began.

And as the classes progressed, the Seirun students were shocked.

“Wow! Su, such an approach is possible!”

A male student listening to Chelsea’s class exclaimed in surprise as he took notes.

“Ugh! Th, this kind of thing at Seirun too… No! It might be even more in-depth…”

A female student listening to Nella’s class didn’t know how to react either.

“Aha! So this is how Lumern interprets summoning circles? Then would it be possible to operate them this way too?”

“Yes, ah. Th, that’s right.”

Exclamations of admiration burst out from the summoning studies side as well.

Runia also absorbed Lumern’s new knowledge like a sponge.

Watching this, Hallind chuckled softly.

‘When you approach from another race’s perspective, you open your eyes to new methods.’

It wasn’t just Seirun, but Lumern as well.

‘Since each school’s pride is at stake, there will be friction… but through that, it will become the foundation for even greater growth. In that sense, our class could be said to have been fortunate.’

Herdium’s eyes also lit up.

‘Indeed. All three students are excellent. They’re at a level where there would be nothing lacking even in advanced classes. Especially the female student on the magic side is outstanding. Is she truly a direct descendant of Rwallin? This generation of Lumern. They’re not to be underestimated.’

Among the Seirun students, some tried to deny it out of pride, but Herdium was different from the young students.

Being in charge of Advanced Class 1 itself meant he was a very excellent teacher even among Seirun’s faculty.

If he were someone who would disparage other schools’ students’ capabilities based on pride alone, he wouldn’t have been able to come to this position.

‘Heh, when competitors are excellent, the reward of victory is also great. I believe in our students!’

While stroking his chin and praising himself, the class ended.

“After lunch, we’ll listen to Seirun’s classes this time.”

Lunch was to be held at Seirun’s dormitory.

The Seirun students ate with serious expressions.

They had thought they had the upper hand in class content, but when they actually listened to Lumern’s classes, there was quite a lot they couldn’t understand.

Some students actively talked with Lumern students to understand what they had learned, but the majority of Seirun students only watched nervously.

Thus, Seirun’s afternoon classes began.

“Lumern students! This morning’s classes were truly interesting! In that spirit! We shall present you with Seirun’s classes!”

If Lumern’s teaching method was selection and focus, Seirun’s teaching method was balance.

Aura, magic, summoning.

These three subjects were conducted in a single class.

If done wrong, it could become a class that was neither here nor there, but Herdium’s capabilities as a teacher were overwhelming.

Knight department students were able to understand countermeasures much more easily by improving their understanding of magic and summoning.

Students from other departments were the same.

Seeing the Lumern students continuously exclaiming in amazement, Herdium also became excited.

‘It feels like teaching our students at the beginning of a new semester!’

When the learning side was full of passion, the teaching side also felt good.

‘Flexibly accepting new knowledge is an advantage of Lumern students. This is something our Seirun students should learn from.’

Even while conducting the class, Herdium thought about ways to lead his disciples in a better direction.

Even though it was right after lunch when concentration would drop and they might feel sleepy, the sight of Lumern students listening to the class with sparkling eyes was impressive.

Of course, there were exceptions.

“Yaaawn- Eek.”

Leo, who had yawned without realizing it, hurriedly covered his mouth.

But from Leo’s perspective as an all-class student, the class being boring was unavoidable.

It was content he already knew, or in some sense, he might have been able to conduct the class better than Herdium.

‘Th, th-th-th-th-th-that! That bastard! How dare he!’

When everyone was concentrating and only one person showed boredom, it was bound to stand out immediately.

Herdium, who had been secretly expecting something from Lumern’s grade representative, couldn’t help but feel considerable anger.

‘Why is such a student Lumern’s grade representative! When there are other passionate students!’

“Now we’ll move on to Star Magic.”

‘Right! Let’s see if you make a bored expression while learning about Star Magic!’

This was a lecture that could absolutely not be heard at Lumern.

Indeed, not only magic department students but students from other departments also perked up.

Feeling healed by that passionate sight, Herdium began drawing a huge magic circle on the blackboard.

“This is the entire curriculum that Seirun’s first-years learn.”

Tap-! Clack! Swoosh-!

The sound of chalk rang out calmly.

Leo frowned upon seeing the magic circle composed of Star Magic formulas.

‘What, why did he draw the magic circle with incorrect interpretation? How could magic activate like that?’

Since it was magic that Luna particularly favored using, Leo was bothered by the interpretation method drawn on the blackboard.

When Herdium finished drawing the magic circle and turned around, Leo raised his hand.

Seeing this, Herdium laughed inwardly.

‘Of course. As expected, he has no choice but to be interested in Star Magic…’

“Teacher. The interpretation is wrong.”
