651.

The day after the entrance ceremony.

Students literally began pouring out of the Central Hall of the Clock Tower.

Since the entire student body would now be using the same dormitory, the dormitory building itself couldn’t help but be bustling with activity.

Naturally, what could be seen most were the freshmen.

The freshmen who had shown a dejected atmosphere just yesterday during the entrance ceremony had recovered after a day had passed and regained some of their vitality.

Seeing the freshmen chattering together with their department classmates, Luke made a tense expression.

“Luke. Why are you making such a tense expression?”

Havedon, a Knight Department classmate and rival, asked with a puzzled face.

To that, Luke answered with a trembling voice.

“Well, you see. They’re our juniors. As a senior, I need to set an example… Whew… I’m nervous!”

Seeing Luke not knowing what to do, Havedon frowned.

“I always tell you this, Luke. You’re the representative of our year. If you show that kind of behavior, you’ll be looked down upon.”

“But, still. How should I put it. To make juniors follow you, you need to set an example.”

“Hmph. Example or whatever, just advancing to 2nd year is qualification enough to be a senior.”

Havedon snorted and called out to a passing Knight Department freshman.

“Hey, you.”

“Yes!”

Looking at the freshman who stood at attention with a completely tense face, Havedon pointed at Luke.

“Do you know who this guy is?”

“He’s Luke Elda, the 2nd year representative!”

“What do you think of this guy?”

“I respect him! And I respect you too, Senior Havedon!”

“Good, go on.”

“Please work ha…”

“Tsk!”

“Work hard!”

“Yes! Thank you!”

When Havedon glared at Luke who was unconsciously about to use formal speech, Luke startled and changed his tone.

At those words, the freshman made a moved expression and ran to the students he had become friends with overnight.

“I talked with Senior Luke and Senior Havedon! Senior Luke told me to keep it up!”

“Ooooh!”

“Lucky!”

“Should I try talking to them too?”

“Somehow, they’re hard to approach!”

Seeing the freshmen getting excited, Havedon chuckled.

“They’re that happy with just one word of encouragement from you. Have confidence.”

“Th-thank you.”

Luke made a touched expression.

Seeing such a Luke, Havedon curled up the corners of his mouth.

“I can’t tolerate the year representative being looked down upon.”

“Yeah. I’ll become someone more worthy of being year representative than now…”

“Because that position will soon be mine.”

“…”

“Wash your neck and wait, Luke.”

“Um. Wash my neck and wait? Such ominous words…”

“What’s wrong, Luke?”

“Aina! Havedon told me to wash my neck and wait!”

At those words, Aina’s face hardened stiffly.

Then she glared at Havedon with sharp eyes.

“I absolutely can’t tolerate that.”

“Aina…”

Luke made a slightly touched expression.

“I’m the one who’s going to cut Luke’s neck.”

“…”

Luke had no choice but to remain silent.

“Why is the atmosphere like this?”

“The year representative shouldn’t be making such a sad face from the first day.”

Juwen and Shasha approached Luke.

“Aina and Havedon told me to wash my neck and wait.”

“Being from the Knight Department, their words are a bit scary.”

“Right?”

“Yeah. I’m going to drill a wind hole in your forehead.”

“That’s scary too.”

“Oh my. Cutting necks and drilling holes. Everyone, your words are harsh. You should soften them a bit.”

Shasha, covering her mouth with a fan, spoke in a gentle tone.

“How are you going to soften it?”

When Juwen narrowed her eyes, Shasha made a bright expression.

“Execution.”

“You seem the most ominous of all?”

‘Why do these guys speak so ominously?’

Looking at his friends who were constantly targeting him, Luke made a sad face.

The freshmen watched such 2nd years from a distance with admiring eyes.

That’s when it happened.

Click- Click-

The sound of high heels could be heard.

The freshmen’s gazes turned toward where the sound came from.

“Oh! It’s Senior Iliana.”

“Wow!”

“She’s beautiful.”

At the appearance of Iliana, who belonged to the upper ranks even among 3rd years, exclamations poured out from here and there.

The 3rd years were already famous as the greatest Golden Generation in Lumern’s history.

Excluding the top-tier students from that Golden Generation, Iliana, who had almost no one to match her in skill, was literally bound to be the object of the freshmen’s admiration.

“But I heard she’s a bit frivolous? Or should I say restless?”

“Oh? I heard that rumor too.”

“Is it a false rumor?”

“It must be a false rumor! How did such rumors start about someone who looks so refined?”

The freshmen tilted their heads and whispered among themselves.

The freshmen who were chattering like that made eye contact with Iliana.

When the freshmen froze instantly, not knowing what to do.

Iliana gave them a gentle smile.

At that smile, the freshman male students instantly blushed.

Seeing that sight, Iliana gently brushed back her hair and headed toward the cafeteria.

Chelsea, who had just left the dormitory and saw that scene, made an indescribable expression.

Then she approached Nella, who had come out from the Knight Department area, and asked.

“Sister Nella. Why is she acting like that? Did she eat something wrong overnight?”

“Well. She said some strange thing about having a secret weapon to win the dormitory competition, and she’s been like that since morning?”

Nella made an expression of deep concern.

“Did she hit her head in yesterday’s fight with the seniors? There didn’t seem to be any external injuries.”

“If she received a big shock to the head, how should we treat it?”

Nella, who possessed healing aura, was both the representative healer of the 3rd years and a master of healing arts.

Nella, who had been pondering Chelsea’s question for a moment, spoke.

“We need to give her head a strong shock… Should I try hitting her once with my morning star?”

“…Then she might die by mistake, Nella unnie.”

“Right?”

Whether she knew her friends were having a murderous conversation or not, Iliana, who had gone to the cafeteria, looked around the dining hall.

And when she spotted Leo eating at one spot, her eyes lit up slightly.

“So. This ring just popped out of your cloak’s extradimensional space where there was nothing else?”

“Yeah.”

At Cal’s question, Leo nodded while sipping coffee from his mug.

Cal, who had been examining the ring in his hand from various angles, exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow~ But it’s really beautiful, isn’t it? I’d believe it if you said it was a work of art.”

It was an overall beautiful silver ring that seemed ready to flow like liquid at any moment.

A small sapphire was embedded in it.

Inside the sapphire, a magic circle so small it was barely visible to the eye was engraved.

Beautiful flowers were also embroidered on the inner surface of the silver ring.

As Cal said, it could rightfully be called a work of art.

“This alone could buy a decent castle, couldn’t it?”

“Dweno made it.”

“Ah. No wonder. It’s a ring made by Dweno-nim.”

Cal nodded as if it made sense, then stuck out his tongue.

“It’s something that could buy an entire country and still have change left over. Ugh, I’m too scared to even hold it.”

Cal joked around as he returned the ring to Leo.

Leo, who had placed the ring on his palm, stared at it intently.

“Isn’t it a ring with special meaning?”

Cal asked carefully.

He was thinking about Luna’s confession from before.

At those words, Leo chuckled.

“It’s just one of the magic rings that Luna had.”

Luna possessed countless magical artifacts besides her magic staff.

This ring named Seolhwa was also one of them.

“It’s just a ring that increases the power of ice-type magic. It was one of the relics Luna left behind at the end. That’s why it was stored in my cloak.”

“Oh? Then you could use it.”

“Most of Luna’s magic items had incredible performance but were difficult to use.”

They were items created by Dweno at Luna’s request.

“In the case of this ring, an ice attribute mage would need to handle it to draw out its maximum performance.”

Leo could also draw out the ring’s original performance sufficiently.

But then the power of other attribute magic would be halved.

From Leo’s perspective, it was actually a negative factor.

‘Only someone like Luna could use such magic rings while maintaining the full power of her magic.’

“It would be a good ring for Chloe to use.”

“If it’s a relic, isn’t it precious?”

When Cal asked carefully, Leo chuckled.

“It’s a fake obtained as a reward for conquering the Heroes’ World anyway. The real ring disappeared long ago.”

Leo flicked the ring into the air with a ‘twang!’ then caught it with a ‘snap’.

“Among the relics we left behind, almost none were passed down to later generations.”

All the relics left by his friends had burned away with him at the final moment.

“Why aren’t there any left by you and the Great Heroes?”

“Huh?”

“It’s right here.”

Cal pointed downward with his finger.

“The world.”

“You’re making an unusually serious expression.”

“I’m a proper hero now too. I need to be serious when it’s time to be serious.”

At Cal’s words, Leo burst into laughter.

“Actually, even if I wanted to give it to Chloe, I can’t. This ring only exhibits its abilities when it’s with me. When it’s in someone else’s hands, it’s just an empty shell.”

“Hmm. That’s unfortunate.”

Cal crossed his arms.

“Is it because you have Dweno-nim’s mana?”

“Maybe.”

Items made by Dweno react to Dweno’s power and temporarily return to their most brilliant days.

This ring was also likely affected by that influence.

It was when Leo and Cal were having their meal.

“Class President, Cal. Good morning.”

Iliana, who had brought her meal tray, greeted them with an elegant smile.

“Good morning.”

Leo greeted back with a gentle smile.

“Did you eat something wrong? Why are you greeting so coquettishly from the morning?”

“Huh? Did I do that? Hehehe.”

Watching Iliana cover her mouth and smile softly, Cal furrowed his brow.

“Why are you imitating Nella? Oh, I’m taking one of these.”

Cal poked one of the sausages on Iliana’s tray with his fork and ate it.

Iliana, who would normally have charged at him with fire in her eyes, looked at him with a pitying smile.

“Cal, you must be very hungry? Should I give you more?”

“…”

At Iliana’s question, Cal made a disgusted expression and rubbed his arms vigorously.

“Ugh, goosebumps.”

Watching such Cal, Iliana burst into laughter and ate her meal demurely.

And she chatted with Leo.

“I’m looking forward to today’s combat studies class. I heard it’s a joint class with 1st and 2nd year students.”

“You already checked that.”

“Yeah. It was on the bulletin board in the central hall?”

Looking at Iliana in the form of an honor student, Leo made a strange expression.

“Where’s Nella? Nella!”

Cal, who had gotten up from his seat, urgently looked for Nella.

“Cal is being noisy from the morning.”

Iliana shook her head with an expression that said she couldn’t stop him.

***

Morning classes proceeded.

True to the beginning of the semester, all students spent a hectic time.

After lunch time, during afternoon class time.

Eliza said to Nella.

“Nella.”

“Yeah. What’s wrong, Eliza.”

“That’s creepy, so please fix it quickly.”

Eliza said, pointing at Iliana.

There, Iliana was reading a book with proper posture.

All day today, Iliana had shown the appearance of a perfect honor student.

She showed a flawless appearance as a student, treated people around her gently, and continuously read books.

Rustle-

Even now, as she swept her hair back like Selia, gasps erupted from among the freshmen who had gathered for combat class.

Literally a perfect honor student.

Naturally, from the 3rd years’ perspective, that sight was burdensome to watch.

Then Cal, who had been quietly observing Iliana, spoke up.

“Looking at it closely, doesn’t it seem like she’s copying Selia, Chloe, and Nella?”

“Huh?”

At those words, Chelsea tilted her head.

“Why?”

“How would I know?”

“It’s annoying, so let’s ask her why she’s doing that.”

Chelsea got up from her seat with a huff and approached Iliana.

Nella followed behind Chelsea.

“Nella.”

“Yeah. Why are you calling me, Cal?”

“Why are you taking that with you?”

Cal asked, pointing at the morning star gently gripped in Nella’s hand.

“Just in case I might need to use it.”

Cal nodded as he watched Nella give a bitter smile.

‘Right, no matter how good-natured she is, a Lumern female student is still a Lumern female student.’
