737.

Ding-dong-dang-dong-

The bell rang out, signaling the end of the Magic Studies Department class and the conclusion of the exam.

“Good work.”

Albi collected the test papers with his characteristically sharp expression.

As soon as the exam ended, Cal collapsed face-first onto his desk.

“Ughhh…”

Chelsea poked Cal, who looked like his soul was leaving his body, with her finger.

“He’s dying.”

Cal muttered while looking at Chelsea, who was openly making a pathetic expression.

“What good is being a Hero when I’m getting crushed by school exams.”

“If people knew that someone who rose to the position of Hero was suffering this much over mere school exams, how dismayed they’d be.”

Chelsea clicked her tongue.

Avad, who had pulled up a chair and sat down next to Cal, looked puzzled.

“Since you were specially recruited as a Hero anyway, shouldn’t grades not matter much?”

“Brother, that seems like a somewhat problematic statement.”

“I think so too.”

Chloe, who had finished grading, approached them.

Students swarmed around Chloe.

“Chloe! Show us your test paper!”

“Me first!”

The students didn’t hesitate to engage in fierce physical struggles to get Chloe’s test paper.

“As expected, Chloe got 100 points again!”

“Amazing!”

Exclamations poured out from everywhere.

“Truly impressive, right? You got perfect scores on all the written exams for this midterm too?”

“Well, practical exams are more important than written ones at our school.”

The ones who had always competed for first place overall in the Magic Studies Department were Chloe and Avad.

“This time there’s also a strong competitor.”

Chloe smiled brightly as she looked at Chelsea.

While Chloe and Avad fiercely competed for first place, Chelsea had always taken third place.

But since becoming a third-year, Chelsea had also joined the competition for first place.

Chelsea made a V with her fingers in response to Chloe’s gaze.

“Excuse me, heavenly beings. Could you please go somewhere else to have that conversation instead of in front of me?”

When Cal spoke with a gloomy face, Avad looked puzzled.

“You seem particularly stressed about this exam. Is there a special reason you’re so obsessed with grades?”

Cal wouldn’t suddenly start talking about a student’s duty or anything like that.

At Avad’s question, Cal smiled sadly.

“Professor Hallind told me it would get interesting if I neglected grade management just because I was specially recruited.”

“Oh dear.”

When Avad made a pitying expression, Chelsea’s eyes sparkled.

“Cal, try failing the next exam. I’m curious what kind of trouble you’ll get into.”

“Chelsea. Don’t tease your friend.”

“Sorry, Cal.”

When Avad scolded her, Chelsea immediately apologized.

“By the way.”

Chloe looked puzzled.

“Iliana is being quiet?”

Today’s major exam was the last one.

But Iliana, who should have been the noisiest, was quiet.

Everyone looked toward Iliana with puzzled faces.

Iliana, who had been sitting right in front of Leo, was looking toward Leo with her hands clasped in prayer.

Leo, resting his chin on his hand, was looking at Iliana as if he found her ridiculous.

“Leo oppa, what is that idiot doing right now?”

“She says she’s praying.”

“Praying?”

When Chelsea approached with a puzzled expression, she could hear Iliana muttering.

“Lord Kail. Please, I beg you. Grant me your blessing.”

After saying that, Iliana opened her eyes wide and checked the answer to one of the multiple-choice questions.

“Great! This one’s correct too!”

Chelsea crossed her arms while watching Iliana clench her fist and cheer.

“What are you doing?”

“Grading.”

“No, I get that. But why are you making Leo oppa sit there while praying to Lord Kail?”

At those words, Iliana made a sad expression.

“For this exam, you see. I spent every night hunting students and put all my energy into solving exam problems, so I didn’t have enough time to study.”

“You never study anyway. You always cram a few days before exams.”

It was a cold observation, but Iliana didn’t mind.

“So I didn’t have time to cram for the exam material that included multiple-choice questions, so I had no choice but to go all-in on the essay questions.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to study the multiple-choice exam material since multiple-choice questions are easier?”

“Chelsea, you’re an idiot.”

“Who are you calling an idiot, you idiot.”

“Class President! Chelsea’s trying to hit me! Class President! Help me!”

Seeing Chelsea grab her collar with an expressionless face, Iliana desperately called for Leo.

“Let it slide just once.”

“Tch.”

When Leo said this with a smile, Chelsea clicked her tongue and let go.

Freed from Chelsea’s grip, Iliana said.

“Anyway! I have a secret weapon for multiple-choice questions.”

“Secret weapon?”

Iliana made a meaningful expression and pulled out a pen from her pencil case.

“The pen the Class President used!”

“…Does using that help you memorize things better?”

“Heh, your thinking is so low-dimensional.”

At those words, Chelsea looked at Leo.

When Leo shrugged as if to say do whatever you want, Chelsea rushed at Iliana without hesitation and grabbed her arm, putting her in an armbar.

“I, I surrender. Surrender. I won’t mess around.”

Tap-tap-tap-

Iliana tapped the floor and barely escaped from Chelsea’s grip.

With her arm hanging limply, Iliana pointed to the tip of the pen.

“Look here. There are numbers written on it, right?”

“So?”

“I roll the pen and whatever number comes up becomes the answer.”

“…This is really stupid.”

When Chelsea frowned, Iliana made a serious expression.

“Chelsea. Don’t underestimate Lord Kail’s blessing.”

“What?”

“This pen was used by the Class President, who is Lord Kail’s successor. And during the exam, Lord Kail’s successor, the Class President, was sitting right behind me. With Lord Kail’s blessing, I’m invincible at multiple-choice questions. Every multiple-choice question I guessed with this pen was correct.”

“…”

Chelsea made a dumbfounded expression.

Iliana held the pen above both hands like a sacred object, her eyes sparkling as she lifted the pen up.

“Worship Lord Kail! Then you shall be saved in the exam!”

“Oh ho. That’s a good idea? Should we sell it?”

When Cal approached showing interest, Iliana carefully hugged the pen to her chest and waved her hands frantically.

“Stay away, merchant! Shoo! Shoo! If you touch this pen with such impious thoughts, Lord Kail’s sacred blessing will be defiled!”

“But if you think about it, isn’t that Leo’s blessing?”

“I said before that the Class President is Lord Kail’s successor. As his successor, it’s safe to say he’s the same as Lord Kail!”

‘…That’s strangely close to the truth.’

Cal let out a hollow laugh inwardly.

“Alright! Then shall I grade the essay questions I solved? Hehe! This might get a better score than I thought?!”

Iliana, who was in a good mood because all her guessed answers were correct, graded the other problems.

A moment later.

Thud-

“I got them all wrong.”

Chelsea looked at Iliana with a pathetic expression as she despaired with her palms and knees on the ground.

***

The war between dormitories had also concluded.

The overall victory went to the Summoning Department.

It was a triumph that left behind the Knight Academy and Department of Magic, who were tied by a narrow margin.

At the center of it was undoubtedly Lil, the dormitory representative.

And it was also Lil who claimed the MVP.

“Tsk, Lil… That monster.”

Elena, sprawled on the sofa in Leo’s room, rarely showed a sullen expression.

Seeing Elena like that, Leo said.

“You seem quite frustrated?”

“Oh my? When we’re alone, you don’t even treat me as a senior anymore?”

When Elena opened her eyes drowsily, Leo chuckled.

Elena crossed her legs and irritably loosened her tie and unbuttoned several top buttons.

It was quite a provocative appearance, but there wasn’t any particular meaning behind it.

It was simply because she was angry from frustration and her uniform felt stuffy for no reason.

Elena glared at Leo once, then snorted and looked at the documents.

The reason Elena lost to Lil despite seriously aiming for MVP was simple.

During the exam period, she couldn’t focus entirely on the department war.

Since learning that the authority called unfreezing ice actually existed.

Leo tried to mobilize everything he could to find that being.

Among them, he narrowed down places where suspicious incidents had occurred.

And Leo borrowed Elena’s help in investigating that data.

Elena was someone who easily surpassed the level of a student in many ways.

In terms of ability, her ability.

Even the power she possessed as the vice-head of the Jeron family.

Moreover, since she knew of Leo’s existence, it was convenient to ask for her help.

With Risinass handling the Shan Empire and Shadow.

Having heard that fragments of Erebos had been revived, Elena couldn’t focus only on Academy affairs either.

Still, being upset was being upset.

Especially since the MVP prize was quite substantial.

Seeing Elena, who seemed sulky and wouldn’t even look at him, Leo said.

“When everything’s finished, I’ll grant you one wish, so cheer up.”

At those words, Elena glanced at Leo.

Then she smiled brightly and straightened her posture to sit properly.

Leo stared at Elena, who was smiling cheerfully as if her mood had lifted, then said casually.

“You’re still a child after all.”

At those words, Elena frowned and looked at Leo.

Ignoring Elena, Leo was concentrating on the documents when.

Creak-

The door opened and someone appeared.

Elena’s eyes widened slightly upon confirming the person’s face.

‘King of Wisdom…’

She had already heard the story and knew about it.

Moreover, since Elena also knew Leo’s true identity.

She had expected they would encounter each other before long.

‘No, I have actually met him before.’

She had seen Risinass possessing Chloe’s body.

Of course, she didn’t know of Risinass’s existence at that time.

Meeting him directly like this made her nervous.

‘He’s beautiful.’

Elena muttered inwardly as she stood up from her seat.

Then she greeted him politely.

“I greet the great King of Wisdom, I am Elena Jeron.”

“Ah, I’ve heard much about you.”

“Please speak comfortably.”

“Hmm? Shall I?”

Risinass smiled brightly and sat on Leo’s sofa.

“You’re still young but possess remarkable power. I look forward to your future.”

“You flatter me.”

Elena smiled brightly.

Seeing Elena not intimidated at all in front of him, Risinass smiled.

“But you’re a bit different from what I heard.”

“…Leo… No. What did Lord Kail say about me…?”

“He said you were an incorrigible troublemaker?”

Hearing that story, Elena glared at Leo.

“It’s true though.”

Leo smiled nonchalantly.

Seeing that, Risinass clicked his tongue and said.

“That aside, I found the most suspicious place.”

“Where?”

“The Debiang Kingdom.”

“…Indeed.”

“As expected.”

At Risinass’s words, Leo and Elena nodded.

***

The Land of Death ruled by the Overlord King.

The supreme commander of Tartaros.

And currently the only remaining legion commander from the Erebos era.

Now that the Monster Queen and Giant King had been defeated.

The Overlord King’s will had become Tartaros’s will.

That Overlord King was currently outside his domain, having gone out to meet someone.

Crackle-

The lifeless land froze over.

The Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth as he looked at the being before him.

“I greet the great Ancient God.”

A polite greeting.

But from the Overlord King’s body flowed an ominous aura of death.

Whoosh-

Black flames erupted from the Overlord King’s body.

“There is no place for you in this era.”

The Overlord King spoke while looking at the silent Forgotten Evil God.

“Please return to the flames of destruction.”

As soon as those words ended, a cold wind struck.

Kwagagagagagagak-!

The cold air and flames collided.

The flames of destruction and eternal ice clashed, turning the surrounding area into a wasteland.
