706.

Cal sat under a parasol in the Clock Tower Dormitory Garden, enjoying the warm spring weekend with a relaxed expression.

“How peaceful.”

“I know, right. I thought we’d be stuck with the Class President on the mountain all weekend.”

Iliana nodded in agreement as she sipped the milk tea sold at the outdoor garden cafe.

Being able to enjoy the weekend like this made her feel happy.

Watching the two of them, Nella asked with a puzzled expression.

“The other Magic Department kids are busy preparing for tomorrow’s magic lecture. You two seem pretty relaxed?”

At that question, Chelsea, who was sitting to one side, smiled slightly.

“I don’t need to prepare or anything.”

Chelsea, one of the top honor students in the 3rd year Magic Department along with Chloe and Avad, was overflowing with confidence.

Cal was relaxed for a different reason.

“Heh. Professor Ren’s class isn’t something you can prepare for anyway.”

At those words, Iliana nodded and chimed in agreement.

“Right, right. It’s all about fighting spirit.”

“I don’t think that’s right.”

Taide objected, but Iliana didn’t listen.

The five people currently enjoying refreshments at the outdoor cafe had been classmates in their first year.

Having been close friends since their first year, they continued to be close friends even after advancing grades.

The five spent time enjoying a board game that was recently popular on campus.

Chelsea, who was about to roll the dice in her hand, looked toward the clock tower and muttered.

“It’s almost lunchtime.”

“Yeah. What should we eat?”

“Chelsea. Since you brought up lunch, you decide the menu.”

At those words, Chelsea fell into thought as she rolled the dice.

A giant troll-shaped game piece on the board moved according to the dice roll and approached Cal’s wizard-shaped piece.

Then it tried to strike Cal’s piece with a giant club.

“As if.”

Cal made a dismissive expression and played a card from his hand to defend against the attack.

The game the five were playing was a kind of labyrinth escape game where you avoid the hunter and escape the maze.

When her attack came to nothing, Chelsea frowned and said.

“Want to eat sandwiches?”

“I had them for breakfast, so no.”

Iliana flatly refused.

Meanwhile, Cal’s piece escaped.

Chelsea rolled the dice again.

The troll’s next target was Iliana, who was nearby.

“Ah! Don’t come! Don’t come!”

Iliana screamed.

The wooden game board shook with thumping sounds as the giant club was about to finish off Iliana’s piece.

Iliana pulled out a card.

“Ah! Why do you have that!”

When Chelsea made an annoyed expression, Iliana giggled.

Though Lumern was where the world’s greatest talents gathered, the way they spent weekends wasn’t much different from their peers.

Rather, this kind of ordinary rest was a culture that Lumern greatly emphasized.

Chelsea, wearing a sulky expression, chose a menu.

“Let’s eat southern desert cuisine.”

“No. I’ve eaten it too much and I’m sick of it.”

Then Iliana refused again.

“How about Shan Empire cuisine?”

“Hmm? That sounds good.”

“Ah. I’m not really into that.”

When Iliana made an interested expression, this time Cal opposed it.

After that, every menu Chelsea suggested was shot down by Cal and Iliana.

Chelsea scrunched up her face and said.

“Then you guys decide the menu.”

“Come on. You can’t even decide one thing?”

“Right. You’re an honor student who doesn’t even need to prepare.”

“You guys keep saying no to everything I suggest!”

“Fine! I won’t complain next time.”

“Let’s just eat anything. Anything.”

Hearing the two’s words, Chelsea clenched her fist.

Veins were showing on that small fist.

“How about traditional cuisine from Southern Rodren Region?”

At Chelsea’s words, Cal and Iliana looked at each other’s faces and simultaneously shook their heads.

“I really don’t feel like that today.”

“Right. Something else!”

Crash-!

Chelsea flew up and delivered a drop kick to both their faces.

The table overturned and Cal and Iliana rolled on the ground.

Nella and Taide, who had foreseen the situation, safely protected the cafe tableware and stepped back.

Chelsea trampled on the two while growling.

“You guys decide! You guys!”

Cal and Iliana’s screams echoed.

“I knew she’d do that.”

Taide clicked his tongue and apologized to the cafe staff while handing over the tableware.

Nella crouched down to clean up the board game that had fallen on the floor.

Then she burst into a hollow laugh.

Chelsea’s troll was beating Cal and Iliana’s pieces with a club.

“By the way, is Leo really busy?”

Nella, who had come to the cafeteria for lunch, asked Cal with a puzzled expression.

At that question, Cal nodded while rubbing a cold potion bottle against his face.

“Yeah. He said he’s a bit busy because he has something to think about over the weekend.”

Hearing that, Taide frowned.

“It makes me anxious when Leo says he’s busy.”

“Huh? Why?”

Iliana tilted her head while putting a fork in her mouth.

Their current location was a Traditional Cuisine Restaurant in Southern Rodren Region.

Watching Iliana hum while eating, Chelsea clenched her fist tight.

Taide sighed looking at the carefree Iliana.

“Because it feels like he’s up to something.”

At Taide’s words, Nella rested her chin on her hand.

“It is a bit worrying. Leo sometimes acts impulsively.”

If you asked whether Leo was an honor student, everyone would nod.

He wasn’t at the top of every subject.

But in practical exams.

That is, in evaluations related to heroic qualities, Leo was overwhelming.

Based on that overwhelming ability, he became not only the youngest student council president but also rose to the position of Hero in the shortest time in Lumern’s history.

If such a Leo wasn’t an honor student, then who could be called an honor student?

The problem is that Leo isn’t exactly a perfect honor student.

Leo breaks school rules too.

Of course, he’s never been caught, so he’s never been punished.

But breaking minor school rules isn’t the real issue.

Leo’s problem is the incidents he causes spontaneously.

And they’re large-scale incidents of extraordinary proportions.

Sometimes, as if to prove he’s a power holder who can influence entire department schedules.

From the students’ perspective, he’s caused incidents that were close to disasters.

The most representative example was when he suddenly planned the Hero’s Festival last year.

It was a major incident that occurred right after Hark, who was the actual decision-maker as vice student council president at the time, transferred his authority to Elena.

That incident still remains strongly etched in the minds of all students except the first-years.

“Hey. Chelsea, Cal, Iliana. You guys went on a mission with Leo recently, right? Wasn’t there anything suspicious there?”

At that question, the three of them shook their heads.

“We were too busy carrying out the mission.”

At Chelsea’s answer, Taide scratched his head vigorously.

“Ah. I really smell something ominous.”

“Aren’t you being too sensitive?”

Chelsea said as she poked her food with her fork.

“Is that so?”

Taide tilted his head.

“Right, right. It’s not like the Class President is a troublemaker.”

Iliana still responded carefreely.

Then Nella stared intently at Cal.

“Cal?”

At those words, everyone’s gaze turned to Cal.

Seeing Cal with a serious expression, having stopped eating, Taide drew in a breath.

“Hey. Why are you being so unsettling?”

“No. There wasn’t anything strange about Leo.”

“Then isn’t that fine?”

“But when I went to the student council room this morning, Elena-senpai’s atmosphere was a bit strange.”

“Why Elena-senpai?”

“How should I put it, she seemed oddly irritable?”

“Has that selfish witch making trouble for everyone around her irritably been just a day or two? I think you’re overreacting.”

Iliana said carefreely.

At that moment, the other four people’s gazes turned behind Iliana.

“….”

After a moment of silence, Iliana made a tearful face and asked.

“Is she behind me right now?”

The four people nodded.

“I wonder who called me a witch?”

“Hiiiiiek?!”

At Elena’s gentle voice heard by her ear, Iliana was horrified.

Elena, who had gently placed her hands on both of Iliana’s shoulders, smiled.

“Hey. Don’t be so scared. I know very well that my nickname is witch. There are many underclassmen who actually call me that. It’s not a big mistake.”

“Ahahaha. Right? As expected, Elena-senpai has a heart as vast as the ocean.”

Iliana said while rubbing her hands together earnestly.

At that reaction, Elena added.

“Yes. When you don’t get caught, it’s not a big mistake.”

“….”

Iliana’s face turned ashen.

A moment later.

Elena, sitting on top of Iliana who had become a human chair lying face down on the ground, elegantly took a sip of tea that came out as dessert and said.

“It’s true that Leo has some scheme.”

At those words, Chelsea made a puzzled expression.

“What is it?”

“If I knew, would I have been acting irritable?”

Elena, who made a sullen expression, poured sugar into her tea.

Cal, who knew she ate sweet things when stressed, scratched his head vigorously.

Seeing such Elena, Nella made a puzzled expression.

“But last year, Elena-senpai knew in advance that Leo was planning the Hero’s Festival.”

“That was because he needed my cooperation, so he told me in advance.”

Swish swish- Stirring the tea with a spoon to dissolve the sugar, Elena narrowed her eyes.

“Right now, that human is definitely plotting to throw even me into a pit of chaos.”

At Elena’s words, the other students’ faces became serious.

As the current student council president, Elena knows Leo’s affairs best.

As such, her words carried tremendous credibility.

“Can’t you stop Leo?”

When Taide asked in a desperate voice, Elena clicked her tongue.

“Leo is the student council president, so what can I do.”

Although Elena was called the Queen of Lumern and the witch.

In front of Leo, there was nothing she could do.

“I have to do what he tells me to do.”

Seeing Elena pouting, the third-years held their heads.

***

That evening.

The beginning of the problem started quite pettily.

The rumor that Leo, the student council president, was plotting something spread throughout the entire Clock Tower Dormitory in an instant.

“The student council president is a very heroic person. What could possibly happen? Sister.”

Perena Hergin asked with a puzzled face.

At her sister’s question, Eliza clicked her tongue.

“Perena. I’m advising you, don’t trust that human too much. He’s rotten to the core.”

Seeing Eliza display distrust toward Leo, Perena made an expression of incomprehension and opened her personal locker in the dormitory.

And her face hardened.

“Wh-what!”

Seeing Perena let out a scream filled with shock, Eliza made a puzzled expression.

“Why?”

“The snacks are gone!”

All the snacks she had prepared to enjoy refreshments with her respected sister after a long time had disappeared.

“Aren’t you mistaken?”

“No way! I’ll never forgive whoever did this….”

Perena’s face twisted up fiercely.

At that moment.

Sounds filled with indignation echoed throughout the Summoning Department Dormitory.

The common reaction was that all their snacks had disappeared.

The incident didn’t occur only in the Summoning Department Dormitory.

“What is this!”

A scream echoed through the Magic Department Dormitory.

“Who graffitied on the wall!”

“Who made origami with my magic formula solutions!”

“Huh? This isn’t the magic tome I was reading?”

Elena, who had been doing homework in her room, narrowed her eyes upon hearing the voices of the Magic Studies Department students filled with bewilderment and anger.

And she came out to the lounge.

Elena’s eyes momentarily flickered and gleamed as she looked at the dormitory lounge that had become a cauldron of chaos.

She threw the quill pen in her hand toward the desk.

Thunk-!

A fairy that had been approaching the ink bottle right in front of Elena’s homework made eye contact with Elena.

The fairy wearing a stamp around its neck hurriedly opened the window and fled.

She ran at high speed and opened the window, but the fairy was nowhere to be found.

‘…That fairy. It was definitely Leo’s summoned creature, wasn’t it?’
