656.

The evening after the first day of classes ended.

The Lumern students gathered in the central hall of the Clock Tower dormitory were busy discussing the Legion’s World that had been announced today.

“It has a much harder difficulty than the Heroes’ World, but there are no conquest rewards.”

“Right! There’s a limit to how unreasonable things can be!”

“Those Tartaros bastards really aren’t helpful in life!”

Some playful complaints erupted here and there, but they also knew that the situation itself was serious.

It was when all the students were excited about this hottest issue.

“Look over there.”

“Wow, is she planning to read all those magic books?”

“It’s the first day of the semester… Honor students really are different.”

Exclamations burst out among the freshmen as they watched Iliana appear in the central hall after dinner.

Especially the Knight Academy and Department of Magic students literally sent looks of admiration.

They had literally fallen for Iliana’s show-off honor student act.

“Austin. Why is Senior Iliana acting like that?”

Martina, the leader of Slater, Leo’s knight order, asked with a serious face.

Naturally, unlike the freshmen, the second-years knew Iliana’s true nature.

“I don’t know either.”

Austin, who had been Iliana’s mentee during his freshman year, shook his head.

“She said she was going to seduce Leo.”

Nella, who was passing by, let out a small sigh.

“What? She’s going to seduce Young Master Leo?”

When Martina asked with a slightly flustered face, Nella said.

“Yeah. Leo has the reward and punishment stamp this semester, right? She said she’d seduce Leo to get lots of those stamps and become the MVP of the dormitory competition.”

“I see.”

“Oh my?”

Nella, who was startled to see Leo appearing from behind, covered her mouth.

“I was wondering why she was acting like such an honor student.”

“Iliana told me not to say anything about this.”

When Nella made a slightly troubled expression, Selia, who was beside Leo, clicked her tongue.

“Whether you say it or not, there’s no way Leo would fall for such pathetic tricks.”

“That’s true. But Iliana herself was very enthusiastic, saying she could do it.”

Nella smiled slightly bitterly.

“A stamp.”

Leo took out the stamp from his pocket.

Leo hooked the chain attached to the end of the stamp on his finger and spun it around, then chuckled.

“An interesting idea just came to mind.”

“An interesting idea? What is it?”

“I just thought of it. I’ll tell you when I think of it more specifically.”

“What’s that? How petty.”

Nella grumbled slightly at those words.

But contrary to that, Selia and Martina’s faces turned pale.

‘What kind of wicked idea is he thinking of now?’

Leo’s current smile was the same smile he had when training them.

“Well, let’s talk about that later. How was it? The meeting about party formation?”

The third-year top students led by Leo had held a meeting for party formation after their class schedule ended.

A large party integrating three grades.

Naturally, those qualified to serve as party leaders could only be the top students from the third year, the highest grade.

Naturally, the nine students who had served as dormitory heads last year were the top party leader candidates.

Other candidates mentioned were Cal, who had risen to the position of hero, and Julliden, who ranked third in the Summoning Department.

Naturally, no one objected to this.

“Who was decided to be the party leaders?”

There were six party positions in total.

And the party leader selection promised to be difficult.

‘No one would easily give up.’

As top students of their departments, they were sufficiently qualified to be party leaders.

It was natural that no one would want to give up the party leader position.

‘Maybe Chelsea and Sia might give up?’

Nella muttered to herself.

Then the third-year top students appeared in the central hall.

The first and second-years looked at them with tense faces.

Although party members weren’t decided today, party leaders were decided today.

Since a year’s grades could be influenced by the party leader, the first and second-years couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Leo! Nella! What were you talking about?”

“I was asking Leo who became the party leaders.”

Nella smiled and answered Chelsea’s question as she ran over with light movements.

“Hehehe.”

Chelsea suddenly put both hands on her hips and puffed out her chest with a triumphant expression, while Selia’s face beside Leo crumpled.

“Chelsea, don’t tell me…?”

“Yes! That’s right! One of the party leaders is me!”

“Wow!”

Nella exclaimed in admiration.

“Leo, me, Sia, Woreden, Julliden. The last one was Cal! But…”

Chelsea smacked her lips.

“He was dragged away by Senior Elena who barged in.”

‘What? You’re going to be a party leader? Are you in your right mind? What about student council work? How can you be so irresponsible?’

‘No! Leo is also a party leader!’

‘Leo is the student council president and you’re the acting president. In other words, a slave.’

‘So now I’m openly a slave!’

Chelsea shook her head as she recalled Cal being dragged to the student council room while screaming.

Cal’s end was miserable after he had enthusiastically aimed for the party leader position, saying he could escape Elena’s clutches by becoming a party leader.

“The last party leader became Brother Avad!”

After saying that, Chelsea went “Ahem!” and lifted her chin as she spoke.

“In that sense, Selia. Go get me some water.”

“Hey! Do you want to die!”

“Isn’t it natural for a subordinate to bring water when the leader is thirsty?”

“Who are you calling a subordinate! You damn brat!”

“You.”

“Leo! That’s why I’m asking you to switch me to your party!”

Selia grabbed Leo with a tearful face and shook him vigorously.

The students who heard the list of six party leaders looked surprised.

“Wow! Julliden! How did you become a party leader?”

“Amazing!”

“…Is it that surprising?”

“Of course!”

Julliden made a pitiful expression at his friends’ reactions.

“Hold your shoulders up proudly, Julliden. I won’t tolerate a party leader being intimidated since I’m a party member too.”

“Thanks, Eliza.”

“Hmm… If I get rid of him, could I become the party leader?”

“What did you just say? Get rid of? Hey! Hey! Eliza!”

Julliden asked in shock, but Eliza just snorted and walked straight back to the dormitory.

Watching that scene, the Summoning Department students clicked their tongues.

“That guy’s really just a figurehead president.”

As the Central Hall became noisy like this, Luke approached Leo.

“Senior Leo, congratulations on becoming party leader!”

Seeing Luke smile brightly, Leo chuckled.

“It’s not really something to congratulate me for.”

“Well, for you senior, it would be natural.”

“What criteria were used to select the party leader?”

Interest and curiosity rarely appeared on Aina’s expressionless face as she came with Luke.

“It was incredibly fierce.”

When Leo said this with a smile, Luke made an excited expression.

“You seniors dueled for the party leader position! Senior Julliden is amazing too! To win in such fierce competition!”

“We decided it fairly with rock-paper-scissors.”

“…”

“Everyone was desperately going at it. It was brutal. Julliden seemed like he didn’t want to do it though.”

“Then you should have let him out!”

At Leo’s words, Julliden made a crying sound.

Seeing such Julliden, Leo smiled slyly.

“Not a chance.”

***

Late at night.

The top floor of the Clock Tower.

A shadow quietly fell beside the bed of Leo, who was sleeping with his eyes closed.

“What are you doing?”

Leo opened his eyes and asked Mellina, who was sitting beside his bed looking down at his face with an incredulous expression.

“I was watching Leo-nim sleep.”

“You were whining about being busy with the legion’s world lately, but I guess you’re free now.”

“There’s no way I’m free. It’s still chaotic.”

Mel let out a deep sigh and tapped her shoulders with her fists.

“Ugh, ugh. My whole body aches. Maybe I should hand over the Lord position.”

“You’re talking like an old hag.”

At those words, Mel opened her eyes drowsily.

“You treat me like a little child but say such mean things.”

Leo shook his head and sat up.

“So, what brings you to my room at this late hour?”

Leo approached the reception table and sofa that sat bleakly in the middle of the spacious room and plopped down.

Mellina came over and sat beside him, then spoke.

“A request came in from Demian.”

“Demian?”

Leo paused and tilted his head.

Demian was also a Hero Military Academy that solved requests from around the world like Lumern.

Leo frowned at the news that Demian, which had sufficient ability to handle most requests on its own, had made a request to Lumern.

“A support request?”

“Yes. They say they need the power of Lumern’s Student Council President Leo Flobe.”

“Just me?”

“From Ajonia, Miss Ar was called.”

Hearing this, Leo stroked his chin.

“A reconnaissance request.”

“How did you know?”

“If they requested support from me or Ar, it means they urgently needed hero-level strength.”

Recently, the world’s heroes have been strengthening their vigilance in preparation for Tartaros’s provocations.

As such, they can’t move easily.

What’s free from that situation are the students of the Hero Military Academies.

Even excluding Lumern and Ajonia, Seirun’s Runia has also risen to the ranks of heroes.

But no support request went to Runia.

“Seirun’s Runia would have been worth calling too, but the fact that they only designated me and Ar means they need people who can move quickly.”

Leo shrugged his shoulders.

“Then there’s only one answer. A reconnaissance mission.”

“Wow, as expected of Leo-nim.”

Mellina expressed admiration, then spoke seriously.

“Currently, the frequency of monster appearances has rapidly increased in the border regions with Tartaros in the eastern part of the continent. Due to the high possibility of a Hero Dungeon appearing, Demian dispatched an investigation team, but contact was lost.”

“It would be a support request to determine the investigation team’s whereabouts and whether a Hero Dungeon has appeared.”

“Yes.”

At Mellina’s words, Leo nodded.

“When do I need to go?”

“You need to go to Demian by the day after tomorrow. It happens that Lumern’s 2nd years are also going to Demian the day after tomorrow for Smith contracts, so you could move together.”

At those words, Leo nodded.

“Got it. I’ll need to form a party by then.”

“Are you thinking of forming a party with students?”

“Yeah. It’s a good opportunity to gain experience.”

Leo rested his chin on his hand.

“Should I pick mainly fast ones?”
