744.

Flash-

A bright light burst forth from the warp gate.

And from within it, the students of Lumern Academy revealed themselves.

Thud- Thud-

The gazes of those standing before the warp gate fixed upon the Lumern students.

“White hair and red eyes… That must be Leo Flobe, Lumern’s student council president.”

“The youngest student council president and a hero…”

“I heard he even got his hands on the throne of the Duncan Kingdom?”

“He’s smaller than I thought.”

“Being so small, I don’t really feel any dignity from him?”

Just as the murmuring sounds of people reached Leo’s ears.

The gazes that had been directed at Leo soon turned to Elena beside him.

“Is that woman Elena Jeron…”

“Amazing! She’s beautiful…!”

“I heard she’s called the Queen of Lumern?”

“She looks noble at first glance!”

Unlike with Leo, where doubts had poured forth, praise now cascaded down.

Besides Elena, lavish praise was also showered upon Selia, Avad, Juwen, and Shasha.

At the reaction of those who appeared to be Debiang nobles, Leo muttered with an indifferent expression.

“Why are those guys making such a fuss evaluating others like that?”

At that muttering, Lil said.

“Originally, the high-ranking officials of countries have strong tendencies like that, big brother.”

Lil shrugged as if familiar with it.

“There are surprisingly many royalty and high officials who don’t care about public reputation. Of course, they can’t freely gossip about Lumern students and heroes either… But if they’re fellow Lumern students, they tend to highly evaluate those from better families. The same goes for heroes.”

Leo clicked his tongue at Lil’s explanation.

“And perhaps because of Cal’s recent activities, the nobles who used to care about such things have become even more focused on family lineage.”

Cal’s registration in the Hero Record.

That was an event that caused as much shock and turmoil as when Leo got his name on the Hero Record.

And for good reason – Leo had been a famous figure since admission.

Even among the impressive admission members of that time, he proudly claimed first place.

Not only that, but as an unprecedented all-class student, he drew people’s attention.

After that, he continued to show radical moves and eventually succeeded in becoming Lumern’s first-ever 1st year student council president in history.

Later, he revealed the existence of the great hero Kail and was even designated as his successor.

But Cal was different from Leo.

Unlike Leo, who had been extraordinary from the start, Cal was a student who barely survived while hovering around the bottom ranks.

A completely unknown student.

He did make a name for himself while conquering Dweno’s world, but there was a strong impression that he had merely tagged along with those who possessed overwhelming abilities.

But then one day, he suddenly rose to the position of hero.

And it was just a commoner, not even a noble.

Cal became an object of admiration among commoners, but among nobles who looked down on such commoners, he became a thorn in their side.

Moreover, unlike Leo, who was called the nameless hero, Cal’s epithet was “One Who Prepares the Beginning.”

That epithet, which seemed to have deep connections with Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, drew even more attention to Cal and his fame among commoners grew day by day.

In fact, Cal was one of the most popular heroes among commoners recently.

Given this situation, nobles who cared about social status strengthened such standards even more.

Leo clicked his tongue at Lil’s explanation.

‘Such things happened during winter break.’

He hadn’t had time to feel such an atmosphere.

And for good reason – during winter break, Leo had been busily traveling between the Jerdinger family and the Lesenteng region.

Moreover, the nobles he met were also nobles of the Rodren Empire.

Although it was his maternal family’s status, there were no nobles in the Rodren Empire bold enough to treat poorly someone recognized as a direct member of Jerdinger.

But this place was a distant foreign country far from the Rodren Empire.

Moreover, even though he was recognized as a direct member of Jerdinger, Leo’s surname was still Flobe.

The Debiang nobles secretly looked down on Leo as someone from an unknown small kingdom in the western frontier.

Even though he was Lumern’s student council president and a hero, they judged him as still young.

This was behavior commonly seen among nobles who had no interest in world affairs and only asserted authority in their own domains.

It was when Leo was making a pathetic expression.

“Princess Trenikonni Debiang is arriving!”

A noble in splendid attire shouted loudly.

Along with that, the nobles split to either side of the hall.

What appeared to be a band began playing music, and a red carpet was laid out between the split nobles.

Along with that, a woman who appeared to be in her mid-twenties walked confidently through the gap.

Behind her, adorned in gorgeous clothing, followed what appeared to be her close associates.

Despite the country being in civil war, they were displaying excessive ceremonial rituals.

Amidst the echoing sound of the band’s music, Princess Trenikonni, who had majestically approached Leo, said.

“It’s an honor to meet you. I am the 1st Princess of Debiang, Trenikonni.”

Trenikonni greeted them elegantly.

As Leo was about to open his mouth while looking at such Trenikonni.

“I’m Elena Jeron, Vice President of Lumern’s student council.”

“Ah. So you’re the famous Queen of Lumern.”

Elena, who had been beside Leo, smiled sweetly.

Regardless of grade level, from an external perspective, Elena as vice president had a lower position than Leo.

Nevertheless, Elena stepped forward first, representing Leo who was the leader.

And Princess Trenikonni didn’t seem offended by this either.

No, rather, she seemed welcoming.

‘The princess seems to be the same way.’

Leo clicked his tongue inwardly.

He hadn’t come here to receive special treatment.

He only wanted to quickly settle the civil war and subjugate the culprit causing abnormal temperatures in Debiang.

He just wanted to defeat the fragment of Erebos.

Then Princess Trenikonni said.

“It’s unfortunate. It would have been nice if the Debiang students enrolled in Lumern had come along too.”

As it was a country with the largest territory in the east except for Shan, there were many Lumern students from Debiang as well.

Looking at Trenikonni expressing regret, Elena smiled sweetly.

“Lumern is always neutral. Originally, we shouldn’t have intervened in this civil war either… But since Seirun intervened first, we had no choice but to intervene for balance.”

At those words, Princess Trenikonni made a displeased expression.

“But when the homeland is in danger, it’s regrettable that Ruiten Siuan didn’t come.”

Ruiten Siuan.

A 5th year student in the Department of Magic.

He was the heir to the Siuan family, a heroic noble house of Debiang.

‘Ruiten especially shouldn’t come.’

Elena made a pathetic expression.

The symbolism of the Siuan family in Debiang was significant.

Siuan was also a heroic noble house.

A heroic noble house meant a family that had produced heroes for generations.

And in this era, the status of heroes was comparable to that of a nation’s king.

A prestigious family that had produced several such heroes naturally held status comparable to royalty.

As a result, among those who rose to the position of hero, there were some who founded their own countries and earned the title of Hero King.

Other families enjoying noble status were largely divided into three cases.

Like Jerdinger and Rwallin of Rodren, cases where they devoted loyalty to the imperial family and established themselves as absolute allies.

The case of gaining semi-independence as a duchy and obtaining the status of duke.

Lastly, those who outwardly show loyalty to the royal family but don’t follow the king’s orders and independently devote their efforts to protecting the country.

The Siuan family was such a case.

As such, they maintain an absolutely neutral position in foreign politics.

To think that such a Luite would express regret at not coming.

‘Luite had praised the original crown prince as a wonderful person.’

Though she had never seen him directly, Elena was also well aware of the rumors about the former Deviange crown prince who died in battle against Tartaros.

But the one trying to ascend to the throne was this kind of person.

The 2nd prince wasn’t much to expect either.

She didn’t know how they had drawn Seirun in, but the moment Seirun intervened in Deviange’s civil war, it was obvious that Lumern would intervene for mediation.

Lumern and Seirun.

Both sides were merely external forces from Deviange’s perspective, but Lumern was human while Seirun was elves.

Lumern’s influence over neighboring countries had to be overwhelmingly stronger than Seirun’s.

And in such a situation, to involve Seirun.

‘Definitely stupid.’

Elena clicked her tongue.

‘Has this country’s fate run out too.’

Elena clicked her tongue, feeling sorry for her classmate who had taken the same classes for five years.

“Come now! We can’t just stand around like this! Lumern has come all this way to help our Deviange! We must quickly hold a grand party!”

One of the ministers behind Princess Trenikonni made a fuss.

At those words, Elena smiled faintly.

“We appreciate the sentiment, but we should probably go meet with Seirun right away.”

“What? You’ve come such a long way, you should rest from your journey.”

“We came through a warp gate, so.”

At Elena’s words, Princess Trenikonni and her associates exchanged glances.

They seemed determined to invite the Lumern group to their party somehow.

These people weren’t fools either.

They knew better than anyone that gaining Lumern’s support would give them an immediate advantage in this civil war.

Princess Trenikonni, having made that judgment, thought.

‘They said the real power in Lumern is Princess Jeron… That was definitely right.’

Anyone could see that Elena was leading the conversation.

In reality, Elena also handled all of Lumern’s actual authority.

Leo, who had risen to the position of hero but was still a 3rd year, must have inexperienced aspects outside of combat.

Therefore, the Deviange nobles thought that the Lumern Student Council President’s enormous power rested with Elena.

‘But even so, the student council president is Leo Flobe.’

Therefore, they thought that if Leo agreed to attend, the Lumern students would have no choice but to participate in the party.

Princess Trenikonni smiled broadly and said.

“Great hero, Leo Flobe. It’s an honor to speak with you like this. Please tell our Deviange people your honorable stories…”

“Hmm? What is this behavior?”

Elena made a strange snorting sound and cut off Princess Trenikonni’s words.

At that, Princess Trenikonni’s bewildered gaze turned to Elena.

“Pardon?”

“How dare you speak so carelessly to someone without permission? I thought you at least understood your place, but it seems that was my mistake?”

Elena’s face bore a beautiful smile.

But her eyes were glinting menacingly.

Under that overwhelming pressure, not only Princess Trenikonni’s face but the other nobles’ faces turned pale.

The knights, mages, and summoners guarding them held their breath, overwhelmed by Elena’s presence.

“I’ll ask again. How dare you speak so carelessly to someone? Without even asking permission?”

Elena, who had become expressionless, asked coldly.

“Wh-what do you mean…”

Throughout the entire conversation, Princess Trenikonni hadn’t even glanced at Leo.

She hadn’t exchanged greetings with Leo either, but he wasn’t offended.

The same was true for the other high nobles except Princess Trenikonni.

It was because they secretly looked down on Leo, who came from a frontier kingdom.

“Does the position of Lumern Student Council President look easy to you? Easy enough for a mere princess, not even a king or crown prince, to speak to carelessly?”

But Elena didn’t particularly take this as an act of disrespecting Leo.

Rather, she thought they understood their place well.

As she said, the Lumern Student Council President was a position that even the Empire’s emperor couldn’t treat carelessly.

And Leo’s external status was already sky-high.

For a mere princess to speak to such a Leo without permission.

Elena absolutely could not tolerate it.

“Wh-what is this! Do you think you’ll be safe after doing this to Deviange’s princess!”

Then one of her associates mustered courage and shouted.

But his courage had thoroughly crossed the Lumern Queen’s temper.

“What if I’m not safe?”

Elena’s head tilted crookedly.

“What are you people?”

“W-we are Deviange’s…!”

“What can you do when your greatest life achievement is just being born into good families? And.”

Elena frowned her delicate brow with an expression of incomprehension.

“What is Deviange?”

At those words, the faces of the Deviange nobles, including the princess, turned pale.

Leo, who had been watching from behind, said to Lil.

“Shouldn’t we stop that troublemaker?”

“She doesn’t seem to be wrong though?”

Lil tilted her head.

At that, Leo clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘She’s been hanging around her so much that she’s finally become like her.’
