699.

The next day.

As always, the Clock Tower Dormitory began another lively day from the morning.

“Hey hey! Look at this. I learned it in magic class yesterday.”

A Female Student who appeared to be a freshman from the Magic Studies Department cast magic in front of a student who seemed to be a freshman from the Knight Department.

The freshman magic student’s body floated up and began flying freely above the corridor.

“Isn’t it amazing?”

Watching this, the Freshman Knight Student snorted.

“Hmph! What’s so amazing about flying with magic? I’ll show you something more incredible.”

The knight student leaped and stood against the corridor wall with a thud.

“Did you see that? This is the latest trend in aura studies.”

“Is that impressive? You could just use magic to do the same thing, right?”

“Hmph. What would a mage who just memorizes a simple spell and easily solves everything know?”

“What? Did you just say magic is simple? Are you done talking?”

“I’m not done talking! What are you going to do about it!”

It was when the two freshmen were growling at each other, pressing their foreheads together.

“You two there.”

“Gasp!”

“N-Niel senior!”

Niel appeared before the two of them.

No matter that they now used the same dormitory, to freshmen who had just enrolled, Niel was a tremendously senior upperclassman.

“Oh my, how cute. Are you two fighting by any chance?”

Behind Niel, Elena poked her face out.

At the appearance of the Queen of Lumern who practically led the current Lumern Student Council, the faces of the two freshmen, who were already terrified, turned pale.

Just falling out of Niel’s favor would mess up their school life, but now even the power holder who controlled the school had appeared.

Fighting in the corridor was a violation of school rules.

Niel, who had been watching the trembling freshmen for a moment, spoke in a stern voice.

“You can’t fight in the corridor.”

“Yes, yes!”

“O-of course! We weren’t even thinking of fighting…”

“Didn’t you two put your hands on your sword and staff?”

“Gasp?”

“Th-that was!”

At Elena’s words, the freshmen’s faces looked like they were about to cry.

Watching them, Elena smiled like a witch.

Niel let out a small sigh and lightly nudged Elena’s side with her elbow as if telling her to stop teasing.

“You shouldn’t do that from now on, okay?”

“Yes!”

“Of course!”

“Now both of you promise by hooking fingers that you won’t fight anymore.”

“A-a promise?”

“Yes. Look at each other.”

At Niel’s words, the two students looked at each other’s faces in confusion.

“Now hook your pinkies. Promise.”

The two students hesitantly hooked their fingers at Niel’s words.

“Now. As punishment, you’ll eat breakfast together today.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Now you’ve made up, right?”

“O-of course.”

“We’ll absolutely never fight again.”

“Good! Great.”

Niel smiled brightly at their confirmation and made a satisfied expression.

“Freshmen are so full of vigor that they often get into emotional fights.”

Niel shook her head as if troubled.

Watching Niel, Elena spoke as if she understood.

“Yeah. That’s right. We had times when we were like that too.”

Watching Elena make a warm smile, Niel made a dubious expression.

“No, I can say for certain you were never like that.”

She remembered clearly.

The monster-like appearance of making fifth-years kneel from the first day of enrollment.

Recalling the past, Niel shuddered.

“By the way. Even if they’re freshmen, didn’t you treat them too much like children?”

“Huh? Oh. Now that you mention it.”

Niel scratched her cheek.

Making them promise by hooking pinkies might have been treating them too much like little kids.

“Was it too much? But I wanted them to get along well.”

“Why? They’re from different departments.”

“Even if their departments are different. Anyway, if they have to go through school life, there will be many more times when they need to work together, right? Besides, it’s this kind of situation.”

The situation where dormitories were divided by department.

“It’s regrettable that opportunities to become friends from freshman year have decreased.”

Of course, competition was necessary.

Strong competitive spirit helped students grow.

Honestly, Niel too had been able to grow quickly because of her competitive spirit toward a certain mage.

Thinking of that certain mage, Niel’s face turned slightly red.

“You must be thinking of Senior Marcell.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Watching Niel scratch her head with an awkward face, Elena grinned.

“So? When will the baby be born?”

“What are you talking about!”

“Oh my? Aren’t you two going to get married?”

“Th-that’s true, but!”

“Ah. So you really have gone all the way…”

“Be quiet!”

“Oh? You’re not denying it?”

“Hey!”

Niel blushed and grabbed Elena by the collar, shaking her.

Bickering like that, the two continued patrolling the corridor.

There was a reason the two were patrolling the corridor like this from the morning.

Because situations like the one earlier happened frequently.

Especially this year, the department that won the interdepartmental competition would be able to advance to the next grade without any expulsion measures.

At Lumern, the difficulty of advancing grades increased exponentially as you went up.

Even for fourth-years who had become completely accustomed to life at Lumern, advancing to fifth year was something they desperately wanted.

Given the situation, the motivation for winning the interdepartmental competition was extremely strong.

The professors too were encouraging students with their department’s pride and honor at stake.

Now everyone had become accustomed to the new semester.

‘It’s about time for the competition to start overheating.’

In the case of third and fourth-years, they at least didn’t compete within the dormitory.

‘The dormitory currently has the strictest rules at Lumern.’

If they violated school rules and received point deductions, it would be a big problem.

But the still inexperienced first and second-years.

Especially the freshmen often quarreled like they had just moments ago.

In a situation like this, there was no guarantee that underclassmen’s fights wouldn’t escalate into upperclassmen’s fights.

Fighting inside the dormitory would become troublesome.

Moreover, wasn’t one of the dormitory supervising professors none other than Artion?

Given the circumstances, the fifth-years took the initiative to patrol the dormitory.

This was based on Elena’s judgment that the fifth-years, who weren’t concerned with advancement, could control the underclassmen as objectively as possible.

‘Of course, I didn’t expect Elena herself, who suggested the idea, to take the initiative.’

Niel glanced at Elena with a look of curiosity.

Elena, who was called the selfish and capricious Queen of Lumern, or the Witch.

But since last year, she had become a perfect honor student.

‘Of course, her twisted personality hasn’t been completely fixed.’

Still, considering her delinquent behavior up until her third year, this was a shocking transformation.

‘Why did she suddenly change? Did she finally mature?’

Lumern’s biggest troublemaker had matured?

‘That doesn’t seem right either.’

Niel, who was feeling doubtful, suddenly spotted someone walking alone in the corridor.

“Ah, Young Master Leo.”

It was Leo, who had returned after completing his mission yesterday.

Just as Niel was about to show a pleased expression.

Elena, who had stopped in place, stood in front of a mirror in the corridor and began adjusting her clothes this way and that.

After even touching her hairstyle once, Elena smiled brightly at the mirror.

‘Ah.’

Seeing that sight, Niel let out an internal exclamation.

Elena, who had taken on the appearance of a fresh young girl, ran over and jumped, then clung to Leo’s back.

“Leo! It’s been so long!”

From Elena, who was smiling brightly, a charm different from usual could be felt.

She was already the owner of destructive charm that seemed capable of captivating both men and women, but what she was showing now was on a different level.

She revealed herself without any hesitation.

‘Wow.’

Niel fanned her face and moved away from the spot.

Partly because she felt like she might end up feeling strange if she stayed.

But also because she felt that seeing such an honest and innocent appearance would be disrespectful to the queen.

No matter what anyone said, Elena Jeron was Lumern’s proud queen.

“You’re heavy.”

“Did you have a good trip?”

Elena, completely ignoring Leo’s words, asked with sparkling eyes.

Leo used magic to detach Elena, who was clinging to his back, and set her down in front of him.

Elena’s pink eyes sparkled brilliantly.

They were eyes that possessed the magical power to captivate others.

Of course, it didn’t work on Leo.

Elena hadn’t intentionally released her magical power either.

Her magical power was simply emanating naturally because she was in a good mood.

“It took quite a long time? Whose Hero Dungeon was it?”

“That’s classified.”

At Leo’s words, Elena showed a slightly displeased expression, then gave a bewitching smile and hugged Leo’s arm.

“You can’t even tell me that, considering our relationship?”

“What kind of relationship do we have?”

“The kind where I support you? I’ve even visited your bed at night before, haven’t I?”

“Others might misunderstand if they heard that.”

“But it’s also true, isn’t it?”

Elena smiled brightly and tightened her grip on Leo’s arm.

Before she knew it, several buttons of her school uniform had come undone.

“How about it? Feeling like telling me now?”

Leo stared at Elena, who was asking in a subtle voice, then pulled something out of his pocket.

And stamped it on Elena’s forehead.

“What’s this?”

“A demerit stamp.”

On Elena’s forehead was clearly stamped [Please work harder.] in a distinctly Sedjen-style stamp.

“What did I do wrong?”

“Violation of school rules due to indecent behavior.”

Elena frowned as she looked at Leo, who spoke curtly.

“Usually everyone falls for it when I just put some force into my eyes.”

“You’re not a child.”

“This mister?”

Elena rolled her eyes.

Leo chuckled at Elena and said.

“The world I conquered was Dweno’s World.”

At those words, Elena showed a surprised expression.

“And I also defeated Gias.”

“Wow…”

Words wouldn’t come out.

‘Seeing this makes me really feel that he’s the Hero of the Beginning.’

Elena let out a hollow laugh and shook her head.

“By the way. This.”

Elena pointed to her forehead with a sullen face.

“Is this really a demerit? I worked hard as vice student council president while you were gone. I was faithfully doing my patrol rounds even now.”

At those words, Leo chuckled and took out another stamp to press on Elena’s cheek.

Elena clicked her tongue at the [Well done] stamp.

Leo stamped Elena’s other cheek once more.

Elena looked at the stamps on both cheeks with a slightly sullen face and grumbled.

“You’re treating me completely like a child.”

“If you mature, I’ll treat you a bit more like an adult.”

“Hmph.”

Elena snorted and turned her head sharply.

Leo chuckled at Elena and started walking.

Elena followed Leo while continuing to show a displeased expression, then suddenly stopped walking.

“Wait, but why are there two merit stamps?”

Certainly, Elena’s behavior toward Leo earlier was a violation of school rules.

So it wouldn’t be strange for her to receive a demerit stamp.

And the first stamp Leo gave her was because she had worked hard as vice student council president.

But what was the meaning of the second stamp?

“It means to work even harder in the future.”

Elena narrowed her eyes as she looked at Leo, who was smiling slyly.

“Leo. Look at me for a moment.”

At those words, Leo walked quickly.

“Hey. Leo Flobe. Stop right there.”

Elena became serious and hurriedly followed behind Leo.

“You’re planning to cause another incident, aren’t you? You gave me that stamp so I’d clean up the mess, right?”

Elena, with a fierce expression, chased after Leo with a look that seemed ready to devour him.

Leo turned the corner of the corridor.

Elena, who followed behind and turned the corner, held her head as she looked at the empty corridor.

People sometimes called her the tyrant of Lumern.

But….

“I’m at a cute level, aren’t I.”

The real tyrant was someone else entirely.
