Lumeria City.
This large city in the center of the continent is called the center of the world not just for geographical reasons but also in a symbolic sense.
One of the warp gates in Lumeria City glowed.
-Guests, we have arrived in Lumeria City. Please make sure you have forgotten anything and get off at the gate.
Leo got off at the gate with an announcement.
The warp gate is installed in the highlands outside Lumeria City.
The moment I left the gate entrance, the panoramic view of Lumeria City unfolded before my eyes.
Whioooooooo-!
Leo’s white hair was flying.
The landscape of a huge developed metropolis.
And in the distance, I could see a lake so large it could have been considered an ocean.
The lake, which would normally be covered in thick fog, was very clear.
Thanks to this, I could see the huge castle, Lumern Academy, very faintly visible at the end of the lake.
‘They’re going there in two days.’
It’s already been a month since I took the entrance exam.
Like every year’s entrance exam, it created a lot of topics to talk about.
Among them, the one that was most talked about was the Western Regional Exam that Leo took.
It was noisy for a while because only 40 successful applicants were recorded.
‘It’s none of my business.’
Leo was busy preparing for entrance.
And today, after preparing for a month, I came to Lumeria.
No one from the Plov family came with them.
Outsiders cannot observe Lumern’s entrance ceremony.
‘Go and learn a lot.’
‘Son, you won’t be upset if I don’t go, right?’
Leo smiled, remembering Dede and Reina who came to meet him.
My parents are nobles, but I am not a person who likes luxury.
‘Rather than meaninglessly spending money on a warp gate, they are people who would rather use that money for the welfare of their territory.’
Of course, Leo also agreed with his parents’ opinion.
After leaving the warp gate, Leo entered Kurrage Street, a busy street in downtown Lumeria.
‘I said I would wait here?’
“Leo! “Here, here.”
Celia, with her waist-length black hair tied in a ponytail and dressed in luxurious, active going-out clothes, approached us waving her hand.
After gathering the attention of people around her, she came in front of Leo and smiled brightly.
“How have you been?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do. By the way, congratulations on your senior.”
“I don’t like it because I’m co-chief with Butter, but he’s still the chief.”
After saying that, he elegantly swept the side of his hair.
“Now try to look at me with more respect.”
“Seeing how you were throwing up, I guess it’s hard to respect you?”
“hey!”
Celia shouted with a bright red face.
“Ugh! really! “I won’t lose a word!”
Celia, who was glaring at Leo, sighed.
“What about Uncle Jis?”
“You said you would come in the evening. “Until then, I’m going to do some shopping on Courage Street.”
Courage Street sells things needed for Rumern.
Starting with school uniforms, textbooks and teaching materials needed for each department are distributed here, as well as weapons, wands, and summoning catalysts.
“Have you bought your school uniform and textbooks yet?”
“huh.”
“You can buy it today. “Follow me, especially I will follow you.”
***
The first place Celia went with Leo was a large clothing store on the main street.
Lumern’s school uniform was displayed in a glass display case visible from the outside.
I saw the brand [Bless Leaguer].
“It looks expensive.”
“Of course, this is a store that has been making Lumern school uniforms for 1,000 years.”
There are three main types of clothes needed for Lumern.
A uniform worn during events.
School uniform worn in class.
Training clothes worn during training.
And all clothes have minimum specifications.
In order to meet the specifications, ‘Mana Cloth’, a cloth imbued with mana, was needed, and Celia explained that the quality of school uniforms was divided depending on the Mana Cloth.
“And Bless Leaguer is famous as a luxury product. “I got it right here too.”
After finishing her explanation, Celia entered the store.
Jingling- Jingling-
“Welcome to Bless Leaguer.”

The waiter waiting at the door smiled kindly and opened the door.
As I went inside, I saw several customers.
Among them, there were children who appeared to be Lumern students.
While I was looking at the display case, a middle-aged woman appeared from inside.
“Hello, Miss Celia. It’s an honor for you to visit our store again.”
She greeted gracefully and cautiously opened her mouth.
“But what happened… … ? “Did you not like your tailored school uniform?”
“No, today I came to put together a set of boys’ school uniforms.”
Celia smiled and pointed at Leo.
“He’s entering school with me this year.”
“Oh, I see. I thought you were the only one attending this year’s Gerdinger. “There were other masters as well.”
The tailor let out an exclamation while covering his mouth and politely greeted Leo.
“My name is Nera. “I work as a tailor at our store, Bless Leaguer.”
Leo knew right away that she was a wizard.
‘Well, you’d have to be a wizard to handle cloth imbued with mana. Still, a wizard is just a tailor… … The world has gotten better.’
“Master, I will take your measurements.”
Nera took a measuring tape out of her arms and measured Leo’s size.
“You are interested in engineering, right?”
“yes.”
“What are the properties of the auror you are using?”
Aurors are divided into attributes depending on the characteristics of the Auror mentality.
And the combination of mana cloth used varies depending on the attributes of the auror.
Something like increasing defense against opposing attributes.
Or adding the power of the same attribute.
Of course, you can’t have a dramatic effect with Mana Cloth, but even a small effect is helpful in Lumern, where competition is endless.
“Please use non-attribute mana cloth.”
“yes?”
Nera looked slightly embarrassed, and Celia, who was watching with a smile, narrowed her eyes.
Leo smiled and spoke again.
“Please make it non-attributed.”
Non-attribute mana cloth.
It literally refers to fabric in a simple state without any attributes.
Of course, no customer wants this.
“All right.”
But if the customer wants it, they have to do it.
After taking measurements and receiving information, Nera entered the cutting room.
“Why the sudden lack of attributes? “I’m going to learn my family’s Auror, so wouldn’t it be better to make a school uniform out of fire attribute mana cloth?”
“I just had a little thought.”
‘The word ‘attribute-free’ means that anything can happen.’
Of course, you will learn Gerdinger’s Auror methods.
But I have no intention of making that my main focus.
“Anyway, I don’t have any money.”
“Are you going to be so petty and petty and tell me to pay for it? “After hearing your story, your father decided to support all of your school expenses from the Gerdinger family.”
Those words reminded Leo of Reina’s words.
‘It’s okay, it’s okay. Even though my brother is a bit young, he has a lot of money. And if you act petty, I won’t leave you alone either.’
This is what Father Dade said when he was thinking about the cost of Leo’s admission, school uniform, and textbooks.
According to his mother, he left behind all of his personal assets from when he was in the Gerdinger family.
Even if you leave the family, you can claim ownership of it as it is property accumulated separately from the family or something.
‘If she had the personality of a mother, she would go to the Gerdinger and completely overthrow her.’
The head of the family must have supported this because he was well aware of this fact.
A moment later – Like a top-notch tailor, Nera quickly made a custom school uniform and brought it home.
After trying on the clothes, I made a simple size adjustment.
About an hour later, Nera, who had made a perfect school uniform, bowed her head.
“We will deliver your school uniform to your dormitory.”
After paying the bills and following the guidance of the staff, I left Bless Leaguer.
“Now, shall we go buy textbooks next?”
Celia led Leo to a huge bookstore.
What I had to buy were the required textbooks for all students and major textbooks.
Leo swept up not only major books on chivalry, but also major books on magic and summoning.
“Are you already preparing for the duel? “Are you thorough?”
Ho-ho-ho- Leo muttered to himself as he looked at Celia nodding her head in admiration.
‘I’m going to learn.’
Of course, I didn’t necessarily say it out loud.
Because even if I said it, it was obvious that they would look at me like I was crazy.
Finally, I bought all the textbooks I needed.
Afterwards, we visited Lumeria.
Lumeria was a big city, and there was a lot to see.
It was fun to look around and buy food from street vendors on the street.
Leo chuckled as he watched Celia making a happy expression while eating ice cream.
‘If you look at things like that, you’re still a kid.’
As the daughter of the Gerdinger family, Celia has always been conscious of the gaze of others, but as she hung out with Leo, who was the same age, she showed a lot of her girlish side.
Only when it was time for dinner did Leo and Celia return to the dorm.
“Are you here?”
“uncle!”
Jis was waiting at the dorm.
“What happened?”
Jis shook the hair of Celia, who asked with a nervous expression, and approached Leo.
“Leo, how have you been for a month?”
“yes.”
“The results of the family meeting have been released.”
After the entrance exam, Jis suggested to the family that Leo learn [Phoenix Breath].
Although he was said to have been blessed with an arcane method that only people from a recognized family could learn, it was a very sensitive issue whether Leo, an outsider, would learn it or not.
The related meeting lasted for a month and the results were released today.
“Permission has been given for you to inherit [Phoenix Breath].”
Celia smiled brightly at those words and said to Leo.
“Congratulations, Leo!”
Celia, who trained and took the exam with Leo, thought that Leo was a suitable person for Gerdinger.
However, the higher-ups in the family might have different thoughts.
So I was anxious, but finally permission was given.
“Even though you left the family, you are my sister’s son, and… … .”
Jis grinned.
“The elders highly valued the fact that we passed the Western Exam.”
The notoriety of the Western Exam, which only 40 people passed, was already famous all over the world.
Jis took out a red key for Leo.
It was a subspace key.
“Open it.”
At those words, Leo put the key in the air and turned it, and the sub-space opened and a book came out.
I opened the book, but there was nothing written in it.
‘It’s sealed.’
I understood the seal structure without difficulty.
“Drop your blood there.”
Leo bites his finger, draws blood, and then smears it on the page.
Then a letter came to mind.
“From now on, only you can see that book.”
“yes.”
“Enrollment starts the day after tomorrow… … “Why don’t you try learning it before that?”
“Is that okay?”
“of course. “If you can awaken an Auror before entering school, there is nothing better than that.”
Jis laughed meaningfully.
“Of course it won’t be easy.”
***
After receiving [Phoenix Breath], Leo entered his room.
“Why did you come?”
“Are you going to train to become an Auror from now on? “If you get stuck, I’ll help you.”
“Obviously?”
“Of course, ‘Help me, lady.’ “I have to say that.”
“The guy who lost to me and said, ‘Young master, young master.’”
“hey!”
Celia threw a cushion at her cousin who mentioned her dark history.
Of course, Leo just obnoxiously avoided it.
Celia made a troubled expression as she looked at Leo sitting on the bed and opening a book.
“Mr. Ui! “I won’t help you until you ask really politely!”
Leo smiled slyly as he saw Celia turning her head and checked the contents of the book.
‘indeed.’
It was an Auror method from a famous hero family.
It was a very complex yet powerful Auror technique.
Celia snorted as she watched Leo concentrating on reading the mana usage method for [Phoenix Breath].
‘It can’t be easy.’
With Leo’s current skills, he would probably be able to enter the average Auror mind technique very easily.
‘My aunt said that Leo has reached the level of mana resonance.’
If you know how to use Mana Resonance, which is the biggest challenge in Auror Mindfulness, you have already mastered more than half of the Auror Mindfulness Law.
But Phoenix Breath was different.
In addition to mana resonance, mana management must also be added.
It can only be said that the first hurdle has been overcome when a ‘spark’ is created through its operation.
Even Celia, who is called a genius, took a week to spark up.
From now on, you will be in trouble because you are blocked by mana management methods.
Celia grinned.
‘I will repay you for making me your maid. I have to ask you to call me ‘Miss’ for about two days~’
It was time to think about avenging the last humiliation.
Hwareuk-
A flame erupted in Leo’s body and soon enveloped his entire body.
The flame seemed to take the shape of wings behind Leo’s back, but then dispersed.
“It’s not easy either.”
Getting started with [Phoenix Breath] involves creating wings of flame using Aura.
It took Celia two weeks to get to that stage.
‘But this guy… … This guy… … .’
“Miss. “I’m stuck in this part. Is there any know-how to make it easier?”
Celia looked at Leo pointing to a passage in the book and asking in a tone that was not polite at all… … .
“Hey you crazy guy! Even if you do it, you have to do it to the extent possible! “Isn’t there a fool in the world who can do it just by looking at it once?”
… … I had no choice but to shout.
