718.

The former student council presidents summoned by Leo instantly became famous figures at the academy.

This was because they would appear like ghosts and dish out penalty points whenever someone seemed to break school rules.

They showed the most intense reactions especially when male and female students created suggestive atmospheres in secluded corners.

“This is unbelievable.”

Selia crossed her arms and made an expression of disbelief.

“How did he end up summoning such spirits? He’s my cousin, but sometimes I think he’s really eccentric.”

“Isn’t calling Lord Leo simply eccentric a bit inadequate?”

“Is that so? Then what should I call him?”

“Well, I don’t think there’s a suitable modifier to express it in common language.”

Selia nodded in agreement with Chen Xia’s words.

That was exactly right.

Leo always exceeded imagination.

Whether in a good way or a bad way.

Literally unpredictable.

“Still, they only look scary on the outside. They seemed like good people.”

“Hm? Why do you think that?”

“A senior named Jon helped me with training earlier.”

Chen Xia honestly shared her experience.

“It was very helpful. I guess it’s because he was a former student council president?”

Chen Xia’s combat experience, having buried traitors and their followers in darkness since childhood, was undoubtedly the best among Lumern students.

However, Chen Xia’s experience was built entirely on combat against humans.

Tartaros was a heteromorphic monster beyond the category of humans.

Fighting between humans and Tartaros demons, beasts, and monsters was fundamentally different.

Chen Xia’s overwhelming combat experience was effective against Tartaros as well, but training was needed for that experience to be 100% utilized.

Jon, who lived through the Class War period, had abundant experience in both types of combat.

The advice he gave based on that experience was of great help to Chen Xia.

“Not just me, but other students also received help from him. Duran too.”

“Duran?”

“Yes, Duran also said Jon’s advice wasn’t bad.”

Considering Duran’s personality, that was tremendous praise.

Hearing that her competitors had received great help from Jon, Selia also showed an interested expression.

Her competitive spirit was triggered by the thought that she couldn’t fall behind her rivals Chen Xia and Duran.

This phenomenon wasn’t limited to just the Knight Academy.

Similar scenes unfolded in both the Department of Magic and Summoning Department.

It wasn’t simply about cracking down on rule violations.

As seniors who had graduated from the academy long ago, they spared no advice and guidance, and regarding that aspect, praise continued throughout all grade levels.

Leo nodded upon hearing the story.

[Why are you maintaining their summoning? The spiritual power consumption to maintain the summoning must be considerable.]

Elsi, sitting at the table in Leo’s room and eating a piece of cake as big as herself with a fork, made a puzzled expression.

“Since I summoned them anyway. And…”

[And?]

“After hearing their stories, I felt a bit sorry for them.”

The era they were born in was an age of war.

As such, they couldn’t properly enjoy their school days.

Of course, it wasn’t an era where everything was lost like the Age of Calamity.

Even so, the fact that they lived quite harsh lives remained unchanged.

“Well, they complain about not being able to date. I thought they might have lingering regrets about not being able to enjoy their school days.”

Even though the times were different, he made contracts with them thinking that living with their juniors might naturally help them let go of those regrets.

[So that was the reason. I thought Leo simply made contracts with them to torment the students.]

When Elsi expressed admiration, Leo chuckled.

“Do I seem that twisted in personality?”

[A little?]

Elsi giggled.

Watching such Elsi, Leo smiled softly.

“By the way, the greater spirits are quite obedient, aren’t they?”

Currently, the greater spirits contracted with Leo included Ista, the greater fire spirit, and Undine, the greater water spirit, besides Elsi and Larel.

Since they were two greater spirits with high pride and strong self-esteem, they apparently had no popularity among their subordinate spirits, and after losing control over lower spirits to Elsi, they had become quite docile.

Additionally, since they had learned about Leo’s true identity.

Their complaints about their contractor had disappeared.

The problem was that the two spirits, who could be called mortal enemies, constantly caused friction.

Furthermore, though not in a contract state, the current era’s greater spirit of darkness who had confirmed a contract with Leo.

The Abyss Spirit Ignite kept showing twisted reactions next to Larel, who could be called his nemesis.

Honestly speaking, when the greater spirits gathered, they were incomparably noisier than when Fiora, Kirran, and Ati gathered together.

Among the greater spirits contracted with Leo, the leader was undoubtedly Elsi.

Although she had lived the shortest time, since she was born in the Age of Calamity 5000 years ago, her actual age was the oldest.

Moreover, Elsi possessed special power even among greater spirits.

However, due to her gentle nature, she rarely stepped forward, so the one who actually led the greater spirits was Larel, who had the second deepest experience.

That’s why he had entrusted their management to Larel.

[Larel’s violent tendencies have increased quite a bit recently.]

She was only docile in front of Elsi.

Larel was also a spirit whose temperament was twisted to the extreme.

She was surely struggling to suppress her nature.

“She must be having a hard time. Please comfort her well.”

[Yes.]

Elsi nodded.

Just then.

Knock knock-

A knocking sound was heard.

At this late hour.

There was only one person who would visit Leo’s room now.

Leo got up and opened the door.

It was Artion, who had come to help with Leo’s necromancy training today as well.

“Student Leo, good evening.”

Artion smiled brightly and entered the room.

“I saw the spirits of the former student council presidents this morning. To think you summoned three spirits with necromancy. I was amazed by Student Leo’s potential.”

Artion, who had learned the true identity of the evil spirits, showed an extremely excited reaction.

The potential to summon three spirits with necromancy.

Artion couldn’t help but be excited at the appearance of a legendary-level necromancer.

Moreover, since that necromancer was a student he was teaching, his joy as an educator was doubled.

“Now! Student Leo! Let’s work hard on necromancy today too!”

Watching Artion enthusiastically clench both fists, Leo nodded.

***

The next day.

“Everyone wake up!”

Ilesa rang a bell in the Department of Magic dormitory.

“As Department of Magic students, I can’t tolerate being lazier than other departments! Down with the Knight Academy! Down with the Summoning Department!”

Watching Ilesa shout enthusiastically in the lounge, students who were relatively late sleepers sluggishly came out to the lounge.

“Um, senior.”

A 5th-year Department of Magic student spoke to Ilesa with an extremely tired face.

“Do we really need to compete over something as stupid as waking up early?”

“That legless summoner and tin can knight over there are going to try to beat us with this kind of thing! And then they’ll point fingers at us calling us lazy pigs!”

“That’s exactly why the competition itself is stupid, isn’t it?”

Ilesa spoke in response to the 5th year’s words.

“I absolutely cannot tolerate being treated like idiots by those knights and summoners! If we’re going to be idiots whether we win or lose, then we should be victorious idiots!”

At Ilesa’s firm words, Elena, who had been twirling her hair in the lounge, smiled faintly.

“You’re right about that.”

When Lumern’s second-in-command agreed with Ilesa’s words, no one could object.

“But.”

Elena tilted her head.

“You grew your head back overnight?”

At those words, Ilesa laughed smugly.

“How is it? This senior’s beauty? Pretty, right?”

Ilesa propped her chin up with a smug expression.

Indeed, Ilesa’s appearance with her face restored was beautiful enough to naturally draw one’s gaze.

“I suppose so.”

‘Since there’s a comparison, it relatively shines brighter.’

But in front of Elena, that beauty was bound to pale.

Elena was someone who exuded bewitching charm by her very existence.

“By the way, what’s the reason you suddenly returned to normal appearance?”

Just until yesterday, she had an appearance that made one scream involuntarily, but now she had returned to her living form.

At Elena’s question, Ilesa shrugged her shoulders.

“Unfortunately, this isn’t a normal state.”

“What?”

“Look.”

Ilesa lowered her head.

Then Ilesa’s head fell to the ground with a thud.

“Kyaaaah?!”

The female student who was below Ilesa and ended up catching the head involuntarily screamed.

“Oh my, if you react like that, this senior gets embarrassed.”

Ilesa’s headless body approached the junior, picked up the head, and placed it back on her neck.

“My head falls off like this all the time.”

“That’s bad for the heart.”

At Elena’s bland assessment, the surrounding students muttered to themselves.

‘Without even batting an eye.’

It was when the Magic Department was being noisy from the morning.

Creak—!

The main gate of the Magic Department dormitory opened and someone entered.

“Good morning.”

Cal returned to the dormitory with a tired face.

Seeing this, Ilesa’s eyes turned sharp.

“Everyone load your magic! He’s a traitor who played around with that wicked Summoning Department woman!”

“Ah, you must be Senior Ilesa that Professor Hallind told me about. Unfortunately, I’ve never had a girlfriend in my entire life.”

“….”

At Cal’s words, Ilesa narrowed her eyes and said.

“Say ‘Summoning bastards.'”

“Summoning bastards.”

“Don’t shoot! He’s an ally!”

Ilesa said playfully.

Watching this, Cal let out a weak laugh and staggered over to the lounge sofa, collapsing onto it.

“You look terrible.”

At Avad’s words, Cal, who had sunk deep into the sofa, said.

“I’m warning you.”

“Yeah?”

“Never go to the punishment room.”

***

‘Just how am I supposed to solve this problem?’

After breakfast.

Returning to her room to prepare for class, Chloe was lost in thought.

It wasn’t about winning or losing.

‘Leo said I just need to win?’

That point was puzzling.

Leo had definitely said the opponent was a formidable skilled player.

But the opponent’s skill was too terrible.

And winning wasn’t the answer to the problem.

‘Is something twisted?’

She deliberately didn’t go last night.

Because she didn’t think she could solve the problem by going now.

Chloe made a serious expression as she opened her room door.

Click—

“…?”

And she opened the door and widened her eyes.

On the table in the room.

A chessboard was spread out.

And sitting across from it was a black silhouette in proper posture.

The silhouette, confirming that Chloe had entered the room, raised its hand.

Clack!

It started the game.

“Now?”

Chloe was flustered.

The problem had come directly to her asking for chess.

Looking at Chloe’s flustered expression, the black silhouette sat quietly.

It didn’t rush her either.

It simply waited quietly until Chloe sat in the chair and made her move.

‘…It feels a bit different?’

Chloe made a confused expression.

If until yesterday it felt like a stubborn child, now it was very calm.

Even while making a bewildered expression, Chloe took her seat.

Considering the skill level, it would surely end quickly anyway.

Clack—

Chloe made her move.

In response, the silhouette continued the chess game.

Clack— Clack—

Only the sound of pieces moving quietly echoed in Chloe’s room.

After a while.

Chloe looked at her opponent with surprised eyes.

‘…It’s strong.’
