700.

“Everyone, pay attention.”

Chloe lightly drew the students’ attention.

“Let me introduce him. You all know, but this is Leo Flobe. He’s our school’s Student Council President and the leader of our party.”

At Chloe’s words, the 2nd years all bowed their heads in unison and shouted.

“Please take care of us! Leo-senpai!”

“Please take care of us!”

Following the 2nd years, the freshmen also bowed their heads.

It was when Leo was receiving plenty of admiring and respectful gazes from his juniors.

“Chloe?”

“Yeah?”

“Can you talk with me for a moment?”

Iliana said with a smile.

At that call, Chloe followed Iliana with a puzzled expression.

Coming to the back of the Training Ground Warehouse where combat classes were held, Iliana spoke urgently.

“Why did you put me in the party!”

“What do you mean why? Obviously because we need the strength.”

The joint combat class, a newly established course this year, was a mandatory subject for all students from freshmen to 3rd years.

To keep pace with the rapidly changing world situation and improve the skills of lower-grade students, it was structured so that 1st and 2nd years would participate in parties led by 3rd years.

The students selected as party leaders among the 3rd years were Leo at the forefront, along with Chelsea, Chen Xia, Woreden, Avad, and Julliden.

A total of six people.

Among them, Leo and Chelsea had to inevitably leave the Academy due to long-term missions, so Chloe and Selia, who had the second-best reputation and skills in each party, were put in charge of selecting party members in their place.

Chloe, who came to lead the party in Leo’s stead, thought Iliana was a necessary member for the party, so she recruited her as the first priority.

“Why!”

“Because you asked me to definitely put you in the party until you left for your mission.”

“Kyaaaaa!”

Iliana grabbed her head and cursed her past self.

“You were more popular than I thought, so I had some trouble.”

“What do you mean more than you thought! More than you thought! I’m popular! I’m capable!”

“But why do you hate it so much? You said it would be comfortable being in the same party as Leo and wanted to get in somehow.”

Originally, Iliana had made a pathetic yet grand plan to seduce Leo and get lots of bonus point stamps.

In fact, the act Iliana put on in front of the juniors on the first day is still ongoing.

‘I thought she’d be happy to know it’s our party.’

When Chloe made a puzzled expression at this very unexpected reaction, Iliana stamped her feet and answered.

“It’s because of the Demon King! The Demon King!”

“Demon King?”

“The Class President! The Class President!”

“Leo. Iliana is calling you the Demon King. Shouldn’t you scold her?”

“Hiiiiik?!”

At the voice heard from behind, Iliana was startled and hid behind Chloe.

Then she peeked out her face and glared at Cal, who was giggling.

“I came to see what story you were telling.”

Looking at Leo who chuckled, Cal shrugged his shoulders.

“You’ve known since freshman year that Iliana’s mental state is messed up, right?”

“Cal! You!”

Iliana, who flared up, rushed at Cal.

Cal quickly hid behind Leo’s back.

Iliana, who barely stopped in front of Leo, hurriedly backed away again.

“Did something happen on the mission?”

At Chloe’s question, Leo answered calmly as if it was nothing.

“I decided to indulge her whining a bit less from now on.”

“Ah.”

When Chloe nodded as if she understood, Iliana made a tearful face.

“That’s too much! The Class President used to be kind! Why did you suddenly become so cold?”

“It seemed like you wanted to be treated like an adult.”

Leo smiled slightly.

Looking at such Leo, Iliana said.

“Can I possibly change parties?”

“Yeah. The professors said to get the party leader’s permission first though?”

Iliana’s shoulders drooped.

Looking at such Iliana, Cal shook his head and approached to comfort her.

Swish-

“…?”

Cal looked with a puzzled expression at Chloe, who was blocking him with her hand.

Chloe lightly shook her head.

A moment later.

Iliana raised her head and slapped her own cheeks with both hands.

“Right! Since it’s come to this, let’s enjoy it instead!”

Iliana, who had made up her mind, pointed at Leo with her finger.

“Class President! Train me as much as you want! I’ll accomplish it all!”

“Oh?”

“Ah, I take back the ‘as much as you want’ part.”

Looking at Leo who let out an exclamation, Iliana quickly shook her head.

Watching that scene, Chloe smiled slightly.

“Even though Iliana is lazy, she does what she needs to do when the time comes.”

“That’s right.”

Cal nodded.

“The kids are waiting. Let’s go back quickly.”

At Cal’s words, the four people stood in front of the party members again.

“Leo.”

At Chloe’s words, Leo stepped forward.

‘Wow. It’s Leo Flobe.’

‘The youngest Student Council President!’

‘The successor of Kail, the Hero of the Beginning!’

When Leo stepped forward, the freshmen’s eyes sparkled even more.

Their faces were full of pride about the fact that they had entered Leo’s party.

When Chloe announced the party recruitment requirements.

Literally all the freshmen had submitted applications.

Among them, the 3rd years directly selected the party members.

As a result, 100 out of 500 people came to join Leo’s party.

Accordingly, the ratio of 2nd and 3rd years became lower.

Naturally, the personnel selected for Leo’s party were enough to become the object of envy for other freshmen.

Even now, freshmen from other parties were glancing over here with envious eyes.

Accordingly, the freshmen in Leo’s party became even more proud.

“They’re happy without knowing this place might be hell.”

“Juwen. Shh.”

“Why? It’s true, right? Right, Luke?”

“Hahaha.”

When Juwen muttered quietly, Betty urgently hushed him, and Luke just laughed awkwardly.

In the midst of this, Leo spoke.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Leo Flobe.”

“Nice to meet you!”

“President! You’re so cool!”

“Kyaa~”

Following the overly formal responses from the male students, the excited reactions of the freshman female students continued.

Watching this scene, Cal and Iliana made mischievous expressions.

“They sure like him.”

“I know, right.”

Thwack-!

“Ugh!”

“Gah?”

Chloe struck Cal and Iliana’s sides with her fists as they stood on either side of her.

As the two collapsed.

Leo spoke.

“As you all know, today is the first day our party has been formed and we’re all gathering together. It’s time to get to know each other. Depending on the party leader’s discretion, it can be used as free time.”

The freshmen nodded at his words.

This was already announced information that everyone knew.

Moreover, today was the last class and tomorrow was even the weekend.

Thanks to this, quite a few freshmen had expectations that today’s classes might end a little early.

“In that spirit, our group is going outside the Academy today.”

“What?”

“Wow! I was actually planning to go out to Lumeria City tomorrow!”

“President is the best!”

Cheers erupted among the freshmen.

“We’ll be moving to the dock from now on, so line up and move in formation.”

Chloe began organizing the freshmen into formation.

Seeing this, envious gazes poured from the freshmen of other parties.

“Is it because Leo-senpai is the Student Council President?”

“Wow, class ending immediately due to the Student Council President’s authority.”

“I’m jealous.”

“You guys. Are you jealous of that?”

The freshmen were startled to see Chelsea suddenly appear from behind and ask.

“Th-that’s not it.”

“Why? You said you were jealous?”

At Chelsea’s question, the freshmen shrank their necks.

“You’re scaring the kids.”

Selia appeared behind Chelsea and pressed down firmly on Chelsea’s head.

“You know this is insubordination against the captain, right?”

“How long are you going to keep going on about being captain?”

Selia clicked her tongue at Chelsea’s words and said.

“There’s absolutely nothing to be jealous of.”

“What?”

At Selia’s words, Chelsea looked at the freshmen and sneered.

“Do Leo oppa’s party’s 2nd and 3rd years look happy to you?”

At those words, the freshmen hurriedly looked at the 2nd and 3rd year students belonging to Leo’s party.

Unlike the bright atmosphere of the freshmen, the 2nd and 3rd years had an atmosphere of resignation.

Seeing the freshmen feel puzzled by this, Chelsea smiled slyly.

“It’s not because he’s Student Council President that he can end class early and go outside. I have that much discretion too. But I’m nice, aren’t I?”

“Nice my foot.”

“Subordinates should be quiet.”

“This is really!”

Selia got angry and grabbed Chelsea’s cheek.

Instead of the two who were grabbing each other and struggling, it was Martina who answered – a 2nd year from the Knight Department and one of Leo’s knights.

“That’s not going out to play.”

“Then what?”

“They’re being dragged to a slaughterhouse.”

Hearing those words, the freshmen felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

‘What the hell are they going to do?!’

***

The freshmen who boarded the ship from the dock to Lumeria City enjoyed the feeling as if they were going on a picnic.

Luke thought about saying something to these underclassmen, but Juwen stopped him.

“Let them enjoy it.”

The other 2nd and 3rd years seemed to feel the same way, so the freshmen arrived at Lumeria City in a happy mood.

The freshmen began to sense something was wrong after they left Lumeria City.

Leo’s party, having exited the entrance of Lumeria City, moved at tremendous speed.

The freshmen followed behind using their respective abilities, but the pace showed no signs of slowing down.

It was right then that they felt something was seriously wrong.

“Leo-senpai abandons anyone who falls behind, so it would be best to do your utmost not to fall behind.”

Hearing Luke’s advice along the way, the freshmen desperately struggled not to fall behind.

When Leo finally stopped, the sun was already setting.

At the base of a fairly high mountain.

“Ruderaa Mountain?”

Cal nodded as if he understood.

“Do you know something about it, Cal-senpai?”

At Juwen’s question, Cal spoke as if it was nothing special.

“It’s a mountain where orcs have recently started inhabiting in large numbers.”

“Ah.”

Juwen nodded.

He grasped Leo’s intention.

Leo stood before the freshmen, most of whom were sprawled on the ground.

“The Combat Studies joint class is thoroughly practice-oriented. There’s an assigned number of commission practices. The higher the difficulty of the commission you perform, the higher your score. And individual scores are also evaluated based on how much each student contributed in the process.”

The freshmen nodded at Leo’s words.

This was something they had already heard explained by the professors.

“Reports have come in that a large-scale orc colony has formed on this Ruderaa Mountain. Our party’s first mission is orc colony subjugation.”

At the mention of doing commission practice from the very first day, the freshmen gulped nervously.

“However, the number of personnel requested in the commission is 50. So the deployment will also be 50 people.”

Leo said while receiving the commission document from Chloe.

“There are 42 2nd and 3rd year students in total. And all of your seniors will deploy without exception.”

At Leo’s words, the freshmen’s faces hardened.

That meant there were only eight remaining spots in the party.

“From now on, commission practice deployment will always be decided based on ability.”

You can only get good scores by performing commission practice missions.

Even though freshmen don’t get expelled during their first year, not everyone can advance to their second year.

Departments that win in the inter-departmental competition can all advance to the next grade, but there’s no guarantee that one’s own department will win.

In that case, you need to achieve good grades in classes.

And the Combat Studies joint class accounts for half of the Combat Studies class score.

If you fall behind, you naturally can’t receive points.

Looking at the wide-eyed freshmen, Leo opened his mouth.

“You get the gist of it, right?”

Leo said with a gentle smile.

“Fight each other from now on.”
