86.

“Ugh! That was exhausting!”

After magic class ended, Cal collapsed forward.

“Argh! The Fly magic class is no joke! Seriously! It’s like manual labor!”

“What’s so hard about that?”

When Chelsea spoke with a look of disdain, Cal let out a deep sigh.

“Sigh. You passed the test in one go and went to Professor Albi, so how would you know our struggles? Senior Torua is no joke! He grills us like he’s going to devour us!”

Chelsea was one of the four students who had passed the Fly magic test with a free pass.

Those four were Leo, Chloe, Avad, and Chelsea.

“Should I help you?”

“What?”

“I could help you practice so you can use Fly magic well.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, we’re friends after all.”

Cal made a moved expression.

“I’ll help the Magic Studies Department kids in our class practice.”

“Sob! Chelsea! Thank you!”

‘They’re going to get worked to the bone.’

“Do you guys know about Senior Elena?”

At Leo’s question, Cal made an incredulous expression.

“Do we know about Senior Elena? It would be stranger not to know her, wouldn’t it?”

“Is she famous?”

“She’s not just famous! Senior Elena is the 3rd year representative!”

“Really?”

“Sometimes I think Leo oppa is too indifferent to school affairs. I’ll teach you.”

Chelsea cleared her throat with an “Ahem!”

“Elena Jeron. Age 18. Currently a 3rd year. Her skill level is currently 2nd in the entire Magic Studies Department. Even though she’s a 3rd year, she’s right after Senior Torua.”

“That’s impressive.”

“It’s not just impressive. She’s a genius magic girl who became a dungeon conqueror in her 2nd year!”

Cal shouted excitedly.

“It would be nice to meet her at least once!”

Seeing Cal make a slightly dreamy expression, Leo tilted his head.

“She must be popular?”

“Yeah. She’s incredibly beautiful. Her nickname is Queen.”

“Queen?”

“Even 4th and 5th year seniors can’t treat her carelessly, and she has many followers. Thanks to that, even though she’s a 3rd year, she’s a strong candidate for the next student council president.”

“Thanks for letting me know.”

Leo patted Chelsea’s head.

Chelsea, who had been grinning, asked.

“But why are you asking about Senior Elena?”

“Just, something came up where I need to meet her.”

“She’s on assignment until next week, so she’s not at school right now. Well, even if she were at school, she’s a celebrity so it would be hard to see her face anyway, but Leo oppa is a year representative. If you want to, you could probably meet her.”

Leo nodded at Chelsea’s words.

“Leo, you have to go straight to Summoning Studies class, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Then let’s meet later at the dormitory.”

After parting with the two, Leo headed to the Summoning Studies class location.

‘Today’s all outdoor classes.’

Today’s Summoning Studies class location was the Isle of the Summoned Beasts where they had their first class.

When he arrived at the dock, other Summoning Department students were preparing to cross the lake.

Leo was about to use Fly magic when.

“Guess who?”

Someone sneaked up from behind and covered his eyes.

“Isn’t this kind of prank a bit childish for someone who’s 17?”

Leo chuckled and removed the hands, turning around.

Chen Xia was standing there.

“Leo young master doesn’t treat me like an older woman anyway.”

Chen Xia shrugged her shoulders as she spoke.

“You’re about to go to the Isle of the Summoned Beasts now, right? Want to go together?”

“Sure.”

Chen Xia jumped toward the water.

“Hup.”

Chen Xia left footprints on the water’s surface.

Watching Chen Xia naturally walk on water, Leo lifted his body into the air with Fly magic.

Usually, Summoning Department students cross the lake using flying familiars, familiars capable of underwater movement, or wind and water spirits.

However, in Leo’s case, he couldn’t carelessly summon his contracted familiars because of people’s attention, and Chen Xia didn’t use spirit arts because using Aura Step was faster than moving with spirit arts.

“Leo young master, want to race to see who reaches the Forest of Familiars first?”

“How about the loser buys dinner?”

“Sounds good.”

Chen Xia lowered her stance and Leo gathered his mana.

“Ready, go!”

Whoosh! Craaaaaash-!

Both of them shot forward at tremendous speed.

Watching the dock where water splashed up creating waves, one Summoning Department student muttered.

“If we meet those guys in the Inter-Department Competition, let’s avoid them at all costs.”

The other students nodded.

Craaaaaaash-!

‘It’s not just using Aura Step, it seems.’

Leo’s eyes gleamed as he watched Chen Xia running ahead.

‘Spirit arts?’

Leo accelerated further.

“Eliza. Th-these guys really won’t attack us, right?”

“Hmph. Are you doubting Luri’s domination ability?”

“No way! Of course not!”

On the lake, Eliza sat elegantly on a dolphin’s back with her legs crossed, filing her nails while snorting.

“Our Luri may still be young, but she’s a proper Delpinus. I’ve enhanced her domination ability with my own power, so she can control monsters of this level easily.”

Delpinus.

It was a supreme aquatic familiar in dolphin form.

It was a familiar that Eliza could handle because she was a skilled practitioner competing for 1st or 2nd place among Summoning Department 1st years and the heir to the prestigious summoning family Hergin.

Squeak-!

“That’s right, Luri. When we get back, I’ll give you lots of premium beef.”

Eliza, who was cold to everyone around her in all matters, smiled gently at the Delpinus’s cry and stroked its back.

‘I wish she’d be that kind to us too.’

The students in Eliza’s faction were giving bitter smiles when.

“Huh?”

One of them riding on a monster’s back looked behind.

“What’s that? What’s with that water spray?”

All the students made confused expressions.

“E-Eliza! Something’s approaching at tremendous speed! Let’s get out of the way!”

“Hmph! What exactly are you making such a fuss about…?”

Eliza, who had been enjoying a pleasant time with her summoned beast, turned around with a displeased expression.

Kwagagagagagak-!

And an enormous splash of water crashed over Eliza.

Ppiaeak! Ppiak!

Luri, her summoned beast, urgently pulled Eliza up as she was swept away by the waves and sank into the lake.

“Puhwak! What was that just now!”

As Eliza shouted sharply with her eyes wide, one of the faction students who had also been swept up by the waves said urgently.

“It was Leo Flobe and Chen Xia!”

“Leo Flobe!”

Sparks flew from Eliza’s eyes.

“How dare he commit such rudeness to me?! Luri! Follow them!”

Ppiaeak!

Kwagagagagak-!

“Ahhh! Eliza!”

“Take us with you!”

The students of Eliza’s faction who were left behind panicked.

Krrrrrr-!

And the aquatic monsters that had escaped Delpinus’s control revealed their killing intent.

“Hey! Deal with them quickly!”

“Ahhh! Undine, help me!”

“Kyaaah! Get away!”

The screams of students who suddenly had to fight monsters in the middle of the lake echoed everywhere.

***

Leo was the first to reach the dock of the Isle of the Summoned Beasts.

“I won.”

“Huff- Huff- That’s disappointing.”

Chen Xia, who was late by a hair’s breadth, gasped for breath while showing a disappointed expression.

Professor Yura, who had been watching them, clapped her hands.

“Excellent! But if you had used only pure summoning techniques, I would have praised you even more.”

Professor Yura, who had been waiting for the students at the dock, grumbled.

“Especially you, Leo! What kind of bad manners did you learn to use magic while coming to Summoning Studies class! 10 points deducted.”

As Yura growled, Leo smiled and said.

“But I couldn’t exactly summon my familiar, could I?”

“Perfect logic! I’ll cancel the point deduction.”

“What exactly was the reason for the deduction and what was the reason you were persuaded… Kuhuk?”

Yura, who had punched Associate Professor Carlo in the ribs as he was criticizing her from the side, looked toward the dock.

“Someone else is coming.”

A massive wave that seemed like it would cause a tsunami crashed over Leo.

“Leo Flobeeeee!”

Pueong-!

Water spray whirled in all directions.

Leo, who had easily defended against the water cannon, made a puzzled expression.

“Why the sudden attack? And why are you so soaking wet?”

“Whose fault do you think this is! It’s because of the splash you caused!”

“Ah, you were on the way? Sorry.”

“Sorry? Is this something that can end with just sorry?! How dare you commit such rudeness to me, the heir of the Herginn Family!”

Watching the furious Eliza, Chen Xia made an apologetic expression.

“Miss Eliza. The one who caused the splash wasn’t Young Master Leo, but me.”

“It was because of you, Xia?”

“Yes.”

Seeing Chen Xia bow her head and apologize, Eliza backed away with a “Uut-!”

Chen Xia, one of the oldest among the first-years and someone with a good personality, was kind to everyone.

As a result, even the always arrogant Eliza was somewhat subdued in front of Chen Xia.

“Right, right. We’re all students from the same Summoning Department, so we should get along well.”

“I’m not from the Summoning Department.”

“Me neither.”

“Oh? Look at these kids?”

Yura narrowed her eyes.

“Well. Since I was the one who competed without caring about others, it’s not only Chen Xia’s fault. Sorry.”

When Leo sincerely apologized, Eliza, who had been staring at Leo intently, snorted with a “Hmph-“

“Since you’re apologizing like this, it would be petty not to forgive you. Fine. I’ll accept that apology, Leo Flobe.”

“It’s not much as an apology, but I’ll dry your wet clothes. It’s embarrassing to see a girl soaking wet like that.”

Leo gathered his mana.

He used magic to remove moisture.

Eliza’s wet clothes dried instantly.

As the moisture suddenly disappeared, static electricity built up in Eliza’s hair.

“Pfft!”

“Kuk!”

Chen Xia and Yura couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Eliza’s shoulders trembled finely as she took out a mirror from her bosom to check her hair.

Her flowing hair had puffed up messily and was in complete disarray.

Eliza, who had become a ridiculous sight, glared at Leo with terrifying eyes.

“I’ll fix it right away. Do you have a comb?”

Leo sighed, took the comb from Eliza, and fixed her hair.

***

The first-years gathered in the Forest of Familiars.

All the first-year Summoning Department students were in a strangely excited mood.

That was because rumors had spread throughout the entire academy that the Knight Department and Magic Department had begun special training in preparation for the Inter-Department Competition.

The Summoning Department students also thought they would be doing training in preparation for the Inter-Department Competition today.

Indeed, the class was being held on the Isle of the Summoned Beasts.

While everyone was looking at Yura with enthusiastic faces, Yura scratched her head vigorously.

“Why isn’t this guy coming?”

“Professor, who are you waiting for?”

When Taide raised his hand and asked, Yura sighed.

“Today’s class, as you probably expected, was supposed to be special training in preparation for the Inter-Department Competition. But Ulta suggested a special lesson.”

“Senior Ulta did?”

“Yeah. He said he thought of a perfect training method and suggested we hold class on the Isle of the Summoned Beasts.”

The students were impressed.

On the other hand, they also showed anxious expressions.

Ulta of the Summoning Department.

He was the rival of Ris Jerdinger, who was considered the strongest among students, and a renowned strongest summoner as the Pact-Maker of Pegasus.

But on the other hand, he was also famous as an eccentric.

In fact, on the day of the Inter-Department Competition announcement, he had shown off his presence by talking about love.

‘No matter what, he wouldn’t make us do strange training.’

It was when the students were trying to shake off their anxiety.

“It’s Senior Ulta.”

One student spotted Ulta walking from the dock and said.

“Hey! Why are you so late!”

“I’m sorry, Professor Yura.”

Ulta greeted them as elegantly as a theater actor.

“The supplies for the first-years were delivered a bit late.”

“Supplies?”

Thwack-!

When Ulta snapped his fingers, a giant eagle revealed itself from the sky.

Whoosh-! Thud-!

The eagle that stirred up fierce winds left a cloth-wrapped bundle next to Ulta and glided away, disappearing.

“Was that just now a Wind Eagle?”

“To use a high-level wind summoned beast for simple transportation… That’s Senior Ulta for you!”

The students looked at Ulta with eyes full of admiration.

“What kind of training are you planning to put the first-years through that requires supplies…”

Yura’s face turned grim as she unwrapped the bundle and checked its contents.

“What are you planning to make the first-years do with this?”

What Ulta had prepared was none other than butterfly nets.

“Professor, you must have heard. Right now on this Isle of the Summoned Beasts!”

Ulta spread both arms wide.

“Fairies have appeared!”

“Fairies?”

“No way?”

The first-years’ eyes widened.

Veins bulged on Yura’s forehead.

“So? You’re going to make the first-years catch fairies?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s right my ass, you’re talking complete nonsense. You crazy bastard! We’re busy to death preparing for the Inter-Department Competition and you’re pulling this useless stunt? You’re going to get beaten by me today! No, just die already!”

Yura snatched Ulta’s head with the butterfly net, pulled him toward herself, and screamed.

Carlo and the students were horrified and tried to stop Yura.

Meanwhile, Leo pressed his temple with his hand.

‘That bastard… I should have stayed quiet!’
