714.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The Armored Knight ran at full speed.

“Hey! I told you to stop! Huh, why aren’t you stopping?!”

Leo shouted while chasing after the Armored Knight.

Chelsea followed Leo with an expression of bewilderment.

Just moments ago, she had been in a panic from fear, but now she wasn’t scared at all.

Because Leo was there?

‘That’s part of it.’

But more than that, it was so absurd that her fear had completely vanished.

The Armored Knight she had thought was a ghost was busy running away the moment it made eye contact with Leo.

Leo chased after the Armored Knight.

The situation had completely reversed from just moments before.

‘In front of Leo oppa, there’s no such thing as ghosts or anything.’

After all, for Leo who had experienced death, dead beings weren’t particularly frightening existences – it was natural in a way.

Meanwhile.

Leo quickly closed the distance with the fleeing Armored Knight.

Just as Leo was about to catch the Armored Knight.

Whoosh-!

“…!”

The Armored Knight leaped straight toward the corridor wall.

Leo stopped in place, watching the Armored Knight disappear through the wall.

“Whoa?!”

Chelsea, who had been lost in thought, nearly lost her balance and fell.

Leo caught Chelsea as she stumbled.

“Thanks, Leo oppa.”

Chelsea, held in Leo’s arms, expressed her gratitude.

Leo didn’t respond and simply stared at the wall while holding Chelsea.

Chelsea looked up at Leo and said.

“Leo oppa. You’re not thinking of breaking the wall, are you?”

“Couldn’t I chase after it by breaking through?”

“Even if you’re the Student Council President, that would be big trouble! Professor Hallind wouldn’t let it slide!”

Property damage was incomparably more serious than ordinary rule violations.

Leo chuckled at Chelsea’s horrified expression.

“I’m joking.”

‘It didn’t sound like a joke.’

Chelsea stepped out of Leo’s arms onto the ground and placed her hands firmly on her hips.

“By the way, what was that thing?”

“Probably a spirit.”

“A spirit?”

Chelsea’s eyes widened.

“Do spirits normally go around threatening people like that? And if it was a spirit, why did it run away?”

Leo scratched his head while looking at Chelsea’s confused expression.

“I think I might have summoned it.”

“Huh? You did, Leo oppa?”

Chelsea tilted her head.

“I used Spirit Magic. But I couldn’t control it properly.”

Leo told Chelsea about what had happened last night.

After hearing the whole story, Chelsea was flustered.

“I don’t know much about Spirit Magic, but is it possible to summon an unknown spirit when the summoning ritual failed?”

“It’s Risinass’s power.”

“Ah….”

Chelsea made an understanding expression.

“Maybe that Armored Knight wasn’t the only spirit that was summoned.”

The power of Great Heroes is strong.

There was no telling how much impact such uncontrolled power could cause.

At Leo’s words, Chelsea crossed her arms and fell into thought with a “Hmm-!”

“For now, aside from that Armored Knight, I haven’t heard any rumors about ghosts…”

Kyaaaaaaaaaak-!

Just then, a piercing scream echoed from down the corridor.

At that scream, Leo and Chelsea looked at each other’s faces.

It was a voice they both knew.

“Iliana.”

“It’s Iliana.”

***

“What the hell is that thiiiiing!”

“Why are you asking me that!”

Iliana was running at insane speed, holding a butterfly net in her hand.

Specialized in speed, her velocity was incredibly fast.

And clinging to Iliana’s hair was none other than Kirran.

“Hey! You’re heavy! Let go right now!”

“How heavy could I possibly be!”

Iliana tried to pull off Kirran who was dangling from her hair.

“Ah! What are you doing!”

“Ugh! Become bait!”

And she tried to throw him toward the other end of the corridor without hesitation.

Kirran clung desperately to Iliana’s fingers.

“Let go! At least one of us has to survive!”

Iliana shook her hand vigorously to get rid of Kirran who showed no signs of falling off.

Chomp!

“Aah! Did it bite me?! I can bite too, you know?!”

Just as Iliana was about to bite Kirran.

“Why are you running away?”

At the voice from behind, Iliana and Kirran felt their blood drain away.

Even Iliana, who had learned magic.

Even Kirran, called one of the 3 Great Familiars.

They couldn’t grasp what the being before them was.

The only thought floating through their minds was ‘ghost.’

And for good reason – from this being, they felt no aura, magic power, or spiritual energy.

Nothing at all.

If it were an illusion created by magic or a spirit summoned by Spiritualists, they should at least feel the power of a contract, but they felt nothing of the sort.

‘Kail-nim. Kail-nim. Kail-nim. Kail-nim. Please save this lamb in crisis! Kail-nim! Kail-nim!’

Iliana, frozen by the red cloak that had appeared right beside her, desperately called out Kail’s name in her mind.

After all, the club she had created was the Kail Church.

Since she had no god to believe in, she tried desperately calling Kail’s name instead.

Then.

“Um… How do I look? Am I pretty? Or am I ugly?”

The woman wearing the blood-red cloak asked.

Red cloak.

Both Iliana and Kirran could easily guess that what stained the cloak was blood, seeing the thick, red liquid dripping from the edge of the cloak – drip, drip.

Decisively.

‘Kiiiiiiaaaaaaak!’

‘Uaaaaaaaaaah!’

The Mage Knight and fairy screamed internally as they looked at the mage’s neck, cleanly cut with the cross-section visible.

There was no face above the mage’s neck.

Because of this, they couldn’t evaluate whether she was pretty or ugly.

But they couldn’t say that to this woman.

If they did, she would surely try to slice them up with that scythe she was holding.

“Yes, you’re pretty! Very pretty!”

“Yeah yeah! You’re the prettiest human I’ve ever seen!”

When Iliana gave two thumbs up with both hands, Kirran agreed as well.

“I see! I’m pretty!”

The female mage was genuinely delighted.

‘Huh? Could this possibly be spirit control?’

As Iliana marveled inwardly.

Swoosh-

“…Um, why are you raising that up?”

“I’ll make you pretty too.”

Seeing her speak in a cheerful voice, Iliana and Kirran froze.

A moment later.

“Kiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaak!”

“Aaaaaaaak!”

The two screamed simultaneously and ran.

“Kyahahahahahahaha!”

The red cloak laughed like a witch while wildly swinging the scythe, chasing after them.

That’s when it happened.

“Cl-Class President!”

“Leooooo!”

Iliana charged toward Leo who appeared at the other end of the corridor.

Thud-!

“Ghost! A headless ghost!”

Iliana clung to Leo, babbling incoherently.

Leo patted Iliana’s head and looked at the red cloak.

When Leo’s red eyes turned toward her, the red cloak froze completely.

Then immediately.

Swoosh-!

“Ah! She escaped again!”

Chelsea looked flustered as she watched the red cloak disappear through the floor.

“Huuuuuuuung! Class Presideeeeent! I was scared!”

“Leooooooo!”

Iliana’s legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor, grabbing Leo’s pant leg while sobbing.

Leo clicked his tongue while comforting Iliana.

“These things run away whenever they see me.”

“These things?”

When Iliana, who had calmed down somewhat, sniffled and tilted her head in confusion, Chelsea said.

“You heard the rumors about the Armored Knight ghost, right?”

“Yeah. Did you and Class President see it?”

“Yeah. But it ran away as soon as it saw Leo oppa.”

At those words, Iliana’s eyes widened and she looked up at Leo with a sparkling face.

“As expected of the Demon King!”

Iliana stood up.

“Class President. Let’s make talismans from Class President’s hair and sell them! Talismans that drive away ghosts! It’ll definitely be a huge hit!”

Seeing Iliana like this, Chelsea sighed deeply.

“That’s not a ghost.”

“Huh? If it’s not a ghost, what is it?”

“It’s a spirit.”

“A spirit?”

Iliana looked dazed.

A moment later.

After hearing the whole story, Iliana made a displeased expression.

“Wait. So all this commotion is entirely Class President’s fault?”

“It’s not Leo oppa’s fault.”

“Why not! He summoned evil spirits!”

“I said they’re spirits.”

“Spirits attack students?”

At Iliana’s point, Chelsea hesitated.

“Well, since it’s an unstable summoning. The fact that they’re attacking random people might be my fault.”

“See! It is Class President’s fault!”

Iliana looked triumphant while Chelsea pouted.

“Sorry for causing trouble.”

“Hey! If sorry was enough, why would we need laws? You need to compensate me!”

“Compensation?”

“Yeah! You have good stuff, right? Like stamps?”

Iliana had previously received a penalty stamp and was still being scolded by her Knight Department classmates and seniors.

Because of this, Iliana’s greed for merit stamps was stronger than other students.

At Iliana’s words, Leo smiled slightly.

“By the way, the Student Council President also patrols at night. With the same authority as the dormitory supervisors.”

Hearing this, Iliana fell silent, then giggled and said.

“Ahehe~ Iliana was just joking.”

“Can I hit her?”

Watching Iliana act cute, Chelsea asked seriously.

Iliana straightened up and said.

“Anyway, Class President is trying to catch those spirits, right? I’ll help too.”

Ahem! Iliana laughed and thumped her chest, her eyes sparkling.

“The Class 5 honor students are assembled! Ghost troubles will be solved in no time!”

“Leo oppa, let’s ditch her and go.”

“I agree. She tried to abandon me earlier.”

At Chelsea’s merciless words, Kirran climbed onto Chelsea’s head and said sulkily.

“Don’t be so harsh. Iliana will be a big help in chase scenes.”

“Class President is so kind!”

Iliana tried to hug Leo.

Chelsea stepped between them and pushed Iliana’s face away.

“Stay back.”

After a commotion, Chelsea looked puzzled.

“By the way, the duty professor isn’t coming. With this much noise, they should have come.”

“It’s Professor Mel. I spoke to her beforehand.”

“Ah.”

Chelsea nodded.

“As expected, when you’re Class President level, even the Dragon Lord shows you consideration.”

“You’ll get in trouble if you call Professor Mel that.”

“Eh, she’s not listening anyway.”

Watching Iliana shrug her shoulders, Chelsea said with an exasperated expression.

“She’s probably listening though?”

“Huh?”

Iliana gasped and covered her mouth with both hands.

“Chelsea. You said the portraits of graduates were looking at you, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go there first.”

Click- Click-

Deep in the night.

Chloe was walking through the Library.

‘Another scream.’

Chloe tilted her head at the screaming sounds coming from afar.

To sneak out of the Dormitory during curfew and scream like that.

How fearless.

Thinking that, Chloe reached a certain spot in the Library.

The reason Chloe came to the Library during curfew, avoiding the eyes of students and professors, was simple.

She had discovered a secret within the Dormitory.

The Library where students frequently visited.

But there was no student as enthusiastic about pursuing knowledge as Chloe.

Chloe liked reading many books, not just magic books.

Because she enjoyed encountering new knowledge.

So this evening too, she had been selecting books in the Library.

But then.

‘Who would have thought there’d be a secret key inside that book.’

Thinking up to that point, Chloe stood in front of the bookshelf where she had found the book earlier.

And she pulled out the book and opened it.

Rustle-

When she opened the book to about the middle, a page with a drawing of a small keyhole appeared.

Chloe took out the small key she had found under the book from her chest and brought it to the keyhole.

Then…

Click-!

The key went into the keyhole in the book.

Clack-!

When she turned the key, along with the sound of a lock opening, a door appeared before her eyes.

After looking around, Chloe entered through the door.

A moment later.

Seeing the scene spread before her eyes, Chloe’s eyes widened.

Beyond the door was a Small Room.

And in the center of that Space.

A desk and two chairs were placed.

And what was on that desk.

“Chess?”

It was a Chessboard and chess pieces.
