712.

Leo, who skipped breakfast and left the Clock Tower Dormitory, headed to the Hall of Summoning where the Summoning Department professors’ offices were gathered.

“Oh, Leo! What brings you here so early in the morning? Did you come because you have something to ask?”

3rd-year Summoning major professor.

Yura greeted Leo with a cheerful voice.

“I came to see Professor Artion.”

“Artion? He should be at the Professor’s Dining Hall right now.”

Yura, who told Leo where Artion was, approached Leo and put her arm around his shoulder.

“By the way, Leo. I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“Dormitory management professors. Don’t you think we should increase the number? There are quite a few idle people like me among the major professors, you know?”

“If that happens, it won’t be a fight between students anymore.”

Leo smiled slightly and freed himself from Yura’s arm around his shoulder.

At that, Yura clicked her tongue with a “tch-“.

The current dormitory supervisors are those selected through thorough screening by Hallind and Sedjen, who can be called the pillars of Lumern.

Besides them, the department professors.

So if professors like Yura or Ren, for example, gained dormitory management authority, the result would be obvious.

Bonus point stamps and penalty stamps would run rampant.

Since the declaration of the inter-department war, due to the overheated competition, department professors eyeing dormitory management positions had increased.

‘If they carelessly hand out stamps, they’ll get scolded by Professor Hallind.’

Leo shook his head inwardly and headed to the Professor’s Dining Hall.

Entering the dining hall, Leo spotted Professor Artion who was just about to start his meal and approached him.

“Oh my? Student Leo. What brings you here so early in the morning?”

“I came because I have something to ask.”

“How surprising. To think an honor student like Student Leo would come to ask questions about something he doesn’t know.”

Artion, looking amazed, smiled brightly.

“Asking questions when you don’t know something is a good habit. Ahem. Ask this professor anything.”

“It’s about necromancy. Yesterday…”

“Student Leo. You came early in the morning and haven’t eaten yet, right? The food at the Professor’s Dining Hall is more delicious than the student cafeteria. Here, try some.”

Artion quickly shoved untouched food into Leo’s mouth.

Leo chewed the meatball that entered his mouth.

“I’ll go get some fresh food.”

Artion smiled brightly and went out to get another serving.

Meanwhile.

“Chirp chirp.”

“The Professor’s Dining Hall is more delicious? Give me some too.”

“Master. I want to eat apple pie.”

Leo’s familiars, who revealed themselves, showed interest in the food on the tray.

Although Leo’s summons had tried all the food sold in Lumern, they had never experienced the Professor’s Dining Hall food before.

On the table, Fiora in her red chick form pecked at bread.

Kirran stirred and ate soup with a spoon as big as his body, while Ati stabbed food with a fork to eat.

At the rare sight of the 3 Great Familiars gathered together coveting food on a tray, professors also gathered around Leo with curiosity.

Among them were those who felt self-loathing seeing Fiora and Kirran fighting while eating.

“Ugh… I’ve devoted my entire life to researching the 3 Great Familiars…”

“The Phoenix and Fairy are supposed to be noble and pure familiars…”

“My thesis on the 3 Great Familiars was wrong… My honor will be tarnished!”

“You can just clean it.”

Professors researching the 3 Great Familiars felt self-loathing.

“At least the Pegasus is elegant.”

Looking at Ati eating food demurely with a fork, the professors nodded with “Mm-hmm!”

‘They’d cry if they knew Ati’s true nature.’

Leo clicked his tongue lightly.

Unable to shatter the professors’ illusions about the 3 Great Familiars any further, Leo reached out his hand.

Grab-!

“Peep?!”

“Kek!”

Leo, who grabbed Fiora and Kirran with one hand, reached his other hand into the void.

As a black hole appeared in the void, Leo stuffed the two immature familiars into it.

“Ati. You go in too.”

“Yes.”

Ati, in the form of a young child, floated her body and entered the black hole.

Leo said.

“Those guys are weird, so don’t be discouraged. They’re also just children.”

At Leo’s words, the professors who specialized in familiar summoning research nodded.

“As expected, spirits are the best.”

“Great spirits truly have dignity.”

Seeing this, professors researching spirit magic praised the nobility of great spirits as if for others to hear.

‘Those guys are even more vulgar.’

Leo shook his head, recalling the water and fire great spirits subdued by Elsi.

Again, not wanting to shatter the professors’ illusions, he kept his mouth shut.

In the midst of this.

Artion, who had returned, said.

“Professors. I have something to discuss quietly with Student Leo, could you please give us some space?”

Although Artion spoke carefully, the other professors didn’t listen.

“Student Leo. How about doing some research with me? You just need to stay still. I’ll put your name first as the paper’s author.”

“Rather than this guy, with me…”

“Hey! I’m first.”

The Summoning professors, who usually focused on research, showed great interest in Leo.

Squeezed by senior professors, Artion hesitated.

Among the Summoning professors, Artion was at the junior level.

He couldn’t dare raise his voice to his sky-high senior professors.

Artion was like that.

“You old geezers! This student came looking for me because he has something to ask!”

In an instant, Artion glared and shouted.

At those words, the startled professors scattered in all directions.

Artion’s spirit seemed to work as a source of fear not only among students but also among senior professors.

“S-sorry-y-y-y-y!”

Artion made a tearful face and bowed his head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Yura burst into laughter.

It seemed amusing to see the rigid and stern seniors being swayed by Artion, who was the youngest.

Watching Yura like that, Leo chuckled.

‘He must have been beaten up a lot by Professor Hallind during his school days.’

Artion, who sat next to Leo with an embarrassed face, said.

“Student Leo. You shouldn’t talk about receiving private tutoring from me in front of other professors if possible.”

There were still many professors targeting Leo.

If it became known that he was receiving private tutoring from Artion, it would definitely become noisy.

“Yes.”

That’s why Artion had hurriedly stopped Leo from speaking.

“So? What about necromancy are you curious about?”

Looking at Artion who asked while starting his meal, Leo spoke while eating together.

“By any chance, when spirit summoning fails, can multiple unspecified spirits be summoned?”

“I’ve never heard of such a case?”

Artion tilted his head in confusion.

And after pondering for a moment, he said.

“Usually, spirit summoners have difficulty summoning even one spirit. Spirit summoning is the most basic of spirit magic fundamentals. Therefore, summoning multiple unspecified spirits through spirit summoning is extremely difficult. There has never been such a spirit summoner in the history of spirit magic.”

“I see.”

“But….”

“But?”

“It’s not properly documented and only passed down as legend. But a summoner at the level of Lord Risinass, the King of Wisdom, might be able to do it.”

Hearing Artion’s words, Leo looked down at his palm.

His power belonged to Risinass.

“Why are you asking about that?”

“Yesterday there were stories going around among students about seeing ghosts.”

“Ghosts?”

“Yes.”

At Leo’s words, Artion’s eyes sparkled.

“That’s interesting!”

***

Last night.

The story of Magic Department students seeing ghosts seemed to become a major issue among all students.

But it was buried by an even bigger scandal.

“No way. They saw ghosts yesterday….”

“Ah. Stop it. I’m sick of it!”

“But I haven’t said much….”

“More importantly! Didn’t I tell you? Those two were suspicious! Eliza, who always spoke formally to other classmates and drew clear lines, dropped her formal speech only with Cal!”

The 3rd-year Magic Department students chattered excitedly.

The 3rd-year Summoning Department students were also shocked.

Even though she was a delinquent student, within the Summoning Department, Eliza was definitely a leader and central figure.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say most Summoning Department students were her followers.

Though her conduct wasn’t proper, she was a noble delinquent lady positioned in an untouchable place.

That Eliza spending the night out with Cal, a commoner?

“Does this make sense?”

When Taide, Cal’s best friend, clicked his tongue, 3rd-year Summoning Department student Julliden said indifferently.

“Why wouldn’t it make sense? Cal’s a good guy.”

“No. But considering Eliza’s usual personality….”

“It is strange though.”

“You’re surprisingly quick to accept reality, aren’t you?”

Students from the Magic and Summoning Departments, where the parties involved belonged, showed the most excited reactions.

Of course, the Knight Department also showed an intrigued reaction.

“This would be perfect with popcorn!”

“That Cal guy! Abandoning his duties!”

“But in the punishment room, would they be locked in the same room together?”

“Wow. It’ll be hot for two days?”

Watching the 3rd-year Knight Department students giggling and chattering, Selia frowned.

“How vulgar. And you call yourselves Knight Department students who value chivalry?”

“Ah, no. We were just joking….”

“You shouldn’t make fun of others like that. Do you want to get scolded?”

Chen Xia also smiled brightly while scolding her classmates.

The Knight Department students who had been talking about Cal and Eliza’s relationship looked to Duran for help.

“What are you staring at?”

Crackle-

Duran, who looked the least pleased among the three Knight Department monsters, even emitted a weak aura from his body.

Watching such Duran, Nella made a puzzled expression.

“Duran looks really upset?”

“He was considering Cal as a potential husband for his sister.”

“Ah.”

From Duran’s position, having to rule the country after graduation, it was natural to feel bad about a situation where a talented hero from his own country might be lost overseas.

For the Kingdom of Moira to handle this with their power, Eliza was also the heir of the Hergin family.

Though not a kingdom, the Hergin family was a great house with enormous influence in the northern part of the continent.

In terms of history and prestige, they were deeper and higher than the Kingdom of Moira, and their power was no less than that of the Kingdom of Moira.

Meanwhile.

The 2nd years were also busy talking about Cal and Eliza.

“Hey. Juwen. We promised to spar today, right? Let’s do it now.”

Aina approached Juwen, who looked like his soul had left his body, and spoke with an expressionless face.

“Juwen?”

Seeing Juwen spacing out, Aina tilted her head and waved her palm in front of Juwen’s eyes.

“Can you hear me? Juwen. Let’s spar?”

“Yes yes~ That’s enough.”

“Aina. Read the room a bit right now.”

Shasha and Luke, grabbing Aina’s arms from both sides, dragged her away.

The freshmen felt like they couldn’t carelessly open their mouths since it was about seniors two years above them.

But the 4th and 5th years were surprisingly calm.

“I was just saying it’s been quiet lately.”

“There’s always one. Kids who cause trouble.”

For the upperclassmen who had been through thick and thin and seen all kinds of things, such scandals didn’t seem too unfamiliar.

Even after school, there was a commotion about Cal and Eliza, and eventually night came again.

Curfew time, Magic Department dormitory lounge.

“Hey! Everything’s been cleaned out!”

“It’s definitely Leo’s fairy’s doing!”

“No! Looking at how all the food was swept away, it must be that Phoenix!”

The Magic Department dormitory, attacked by the magical beasts, was turned upside down.

Seeing this, Chelsea came out with a bug net.

“Going to catch them?”

When Chloe, who was sitting in the lounge reading a magic book as if it didn’t matter, asked with a puzzled face, Chelsea nodded seriously.

“Yeah. They swept away all the expensive cookies I had hidden.”

Chelsea pulled out a red feather from her chest.

Her hands were trembling with anger.

“I’m going to catch them and pluck their feathers.”

Growling, Chelsea left the dormitory.

Rustle rustle-

She walked quietly through the corridor with her characteristically light footsteps.

Unable to use magic lights or lanterns, she had to rely on dim light.

The nighttime corridor had something eerie about it as always.

But Chelsea didn’t bat an eye.

‘Where are you, you damn chick!’

Chelsea glared.

At first she was friendly because it was Leo’s Phoenix, but if it stole cookies like this, that was a different story.

Chelsea walked through the corridor, growling fiercely.

The corridor was lined with portraits of students who had made names for themselves at Lumern throughout history.

Clank- Clank-

The sound of metal scraping echoed from the far end of the corridor.

Chelsea’s eyes twitched.

Clank- Clank-

“Mageeees… I’ll kill youuuu!”

A blood-soaked armored knight revealed murderous intent toward Chelsea with an eerie voice.

Chelsea looked at the armored knight who was a head taller than her, then struck the knight’s head with her bug net.

Clang-! Spiiiiiiiin-!

The knight’s helmet spun in place.

“I don’t know who you are, but you’re doing some weird roleplay.”

Chelsea said with a snort.

“Fighting in the corridor might get us caught by the professors, so let’s each go our own way.”

There are no ghosts!

Convinced of this, Chelsea thought of her opponent as a vicious Knight Department student and whoosh-! passed right by.

Normally she would have knocked them down to score points.

But today Chelsea’s prey was Fiora.

“Graaaah! Mage! I’ll kill you!”

“Ah! Seriously!”

But seeing the knight chasing after her while screaming, Chelsea rolled her eyes and charged straight at the knight, delivering a drop kick to the knight’s helmet.

Ting! Tong! Clatter!

The knight’s helmet, which came off at the neck area, flew away and the sound of it rolling on the ground echoed throughout the entire corridor.

“…”

Chelsea remained silent as she stared at the opponent she had drop-kicked.

There was no head.

“…Magic? Summoning?”

It was when Chelsea was muttering with a sour expression.

Whooom-!

Aura surged from the headless armored knight’s sword.

At that moment.

All the paintings in the portraits simultaneously looked at Chelsea.

Chelsea, who made eye contact with the portraits, nodded her head.

‘Let’s run.’

“Graaaaaaah!”

The armored knight roared as it chased after Chelsea.

“What the hell is this thiiiiing?!”

Chelsea’s scream echoed throughout the entire corridor.
