Morning two days later.
Leo and Celia headed to the dock at Lake Lumeria.
People’s eyes were focused on the two people wearing Lumern school uniforms.
“oh? “They are new students from Lumern.”
“Oh my, you’re so refreshing.”
People on the street laughed and cheered for the two.
At that time, the fruit shop owner threw two apples.
Leo, who received it, smiled and greeted me.
“thank you!”
“Okay, cheer up and study hard!”
Wasak-! Celia shook her head as I bit into her apple and handed her the remaining one.
“I’m done.”
“Lumern is amazing. “I see that people like it.”
“Because we are the future.”
Heroes are very popular with the public.
And Lumern’s students are hero candidates.
Those who follow in the footsteps of previous heroes in preparation for when a threat approaches the world.
People cheered for such hero candidates.
“Until recently, Tartarus’ movements have been quiet, but we don’t know when it could become a threat again. and.”
Celia stopped and lifted her chin.
“We can’t afford to lose to Seilun forever!”
Humans and elves do not get along well.
As a result, the Elven Hero Academy Seirun and Rumern often held friendly matches to promote harmony among the races.
As a student, we started with a quiz competition and then sports.
And until the mock battle of force.
It is a historic exchange match with hundreds of years of history, named the Ruse match, where skills are competed in a variety of ways.
Rusejeon had a positive effect and succeeded in easing the relationship between the two races to some extent.
However, on the other hand, as the pride of the tribe was at stake, students often risked their lives in exchange battles.
In recent years, Lumern has been losing ground to Seirun.
“Just wait and see. “I will flatten Seirun’s nose!”
“Yes, yes. cheer up.”
Leo, who cheered awkwardly as he saw Celia clenching her fists with burning eyes, burst out laughing! I bit into an apple.
As we got closer to the dock, we saw other freshmen.
It was basic to hold a staff and fly in the sky or ride a summoned animal.
There were even students who armed their entire bodies with a variety of weapons.
“They’re so frustrated that they can’t jump out.”
Celia shook her head at that.
At that time, a boy with light orange hair blocked my path.
“for a moment! Boys and girls who look good there! “Can we have a chat?”
“What are you?”
“My name is Carl Thomas. He is from the Kingdom of Moira!”
“however?”
“It’s nothing else.”
With a grin, Carl took out a business card from his pocket and skillfully handed it to Leo and Celia.
“From weapons to potions! It’s a knife shop! If you need anything during your academic life, please use it at any time!”
He winked Ahahaha! He burst out laughing happily and ran towards another student.
“There are really all kinds of kids.”
Celia, with a dumbfounded expression, said as she stuffed the business card in her arms.
“I’m going to meet some of our country’s new students.”
The Rodren Empire is a powerhouse in the western part of the continent.
As a result, many of the students entering the West were from the Empire.
“Come on, I’ll be taking a look.”
“huh. “Meet me at the dock later.”
After Celia left, Leo walked leisurely and watched the people.
In addition to the new students, the dock was full of families who came to congratulate them.
The sight of people from various cultures talking about each other was enough to make Leo nostalgic.
‘It’s like a guardon.’
A city called the last line of defense in an era of disaster.
It was also the city where Kyle, led by Lysinas, launched a counteroffensive against Erebos.
It was when Leo was standing recalling memories.
puck-!
“100 million?”
A blonde-haired female student who was walking while reading a book went crazy and couldn’t find Leo and hit her head on his back.
“Oh sorry. “Walk without looking ahead.”
“don’t mind.”
After apologizing to Leo, she started walking again with her eyes focused on the book.
‘If I do that, someone else will bump into me… … huh?’

I saw a card falling on the floor.
The student ID card with the female student’s photo on it a little while ago had Chloe Mueller written on it.
I looked around, but Chloe had already disappeared into the crowd a long time ago.
‘Let’s return it when we meet later.’
If you are a freshman, you are bound to meet anyway.
“It’s a knife shop! “Here, get your business card!”
Carl, who I saw a moment ago, was handing out business cards to other freshmen.
Then, he made eye contact with Leo and approached with a grin.
“See you again?”
“Is the promotion going well?”
“so so. But the snobby young ladies from aristocratic families didn’t even look at me.”
“There are more nobles in Rumern than commoners, so don’t most people even look at them?”
“yes. Hehehe.”
Carl shrugged his shoulders and laughed cheerfully.
“Let me introduce myself again. It’s Carl Thomas. “I’m fifteen!”
“My name is Leo Plov. He is from the Delard Kingdom and is the same age as you.”
“A nobleman, right?”
“huh.”
“Wow, but you don’t really care that I’m a commoner?”
Leo laughed as he looked at Carl who was talking curiously.
“By the way, isn’t it the Western Test in the Delad Kingdom? “They said the test wasn’t a joke, so it’s amazing that you passed it!”
“It wasn’t easy.”
Afterwards, Leo and Carl talked.
Thanks to the friendly knife, we were able to become friends in an instant.
“What are you going to choose as your major? My family has been alchemists for generations! So, I want to major in magic.”
“I’m also planning to take the magic department.”
“Really? “Then let’s be really close from now on, Leo!”
Karl smiled brightly and was happy.
Of course, Leo plans to study not only magic, but also chivalry and summoning.
As we were talking for a while, a huge ship appeared through the water fog that covered Lake Lumeria.
It was a ship traveling between Lumern and Lumeria.
“Oh oh! “It’s big!”
Carl let out an exclamation.
After a while, a silver-haired man in uniform got off the docked ship.
“All new students gather together!”
Freshmen who said goodbye to their families gathered in front of the man.
“Check the number of people.”
Those waiting behind the man used a magic checker to check the students’ ID cards.
As Leo took out his student ID card, he saw a female student fumbling around looking for something.
“wait for a sec.”
“huh? “Where are you going?”
Carl followed behind.
Chloe, who was looking embarrassed, looked puzzled when she saw Leo approaching her.
“here.”
“huh?”
“I dropped it earlier.”
“Ah, thank you!”
Chloe smiled brightly after receiving the student ID card handed to her by Leo.
“Are you indebted to me? “My name is Chloe Müller!”
“Chloe Müller?”
Carl looked surprised.
“Northern Exam Senior Chloe Müller?”
“huh. “What about you?”
“I’m Leo Plov and this guy…” … .”
“Carl Thomas! From weapons to potions! We handle everything you need for academic life! “Here, get your business card!”
Carl quickly handed Chloe a business card and quickly started doing business.
Chloe, who received it, said with interest.
“shop? “I guess you’re planning on doing your main activity as a supporter?”
“Haha, as expected, the chief is different? “I realized it right away.”
“There’s something I picked up from my seniors at the Magic Tower.”
All Lumern students are called hero candidates and are people with outstanding talent.
But even within that, differences are bound to exist.
Some people feel that they lack talent while attending school.
Such people turn into supporters who help heroes.
Starting with combat assistance, supply of supplies, etc.
Although they are literally necessary for heroes, most students were not very interested in being a supporter.
This is because once you enter Lumern, your only goal is to become a hero.
However, Karl seemed to have chosen the path of a supporter early on.
“Anyway, my grades at admission were excellent.”
“If the item is good, I will patronize it.”
“Oh oh! I can’t believe I’ve already crossed paths with one of the seniors! Are you lucky?”
Carl haha! I laughed.
“This is also our fate, let’s be close friends from now on!” “We’re all in the magic department!”
“Department of Magic?”
Chloe tilted her head.
“That’s true, but are you also a magic major?”
“huh.”
“Not the knight department?”
As a person with the highest rank, Chloe knew at a glance that Leo had Aurors.
“I’m hoping to double major.”
“what! Were you a magic swordsman? “It’s amazing!”
Carl made a fuss.
Although it is rare, a person with two special abilities is called a dual class.
In fact, there were a significant number of dual class students in Lumern.
Hearing Leo’s words, Chloe made an expression as if she wanted to do that.
Meanwhile, a faculty member approached and checked the student IDs of the three people.
When the faculty and staff left after checking the number of people, a silver-haired man in uniform stepped forward.
“It’s Professor Ain Ellandu from Lumern.”
“Ain Ellandu? “Knight of the Ice Sea?”
“That child, Ellandurani.”
“I want an autograph!”
“Be quiet!”
Ain quieted the excited students.
“From now on, we are moving to Rumern. Everyone get on board.”
“yes!”
***
Before the entrance ceremony, new students were busy looking at the scenery from the deck.
As expected of a ship operated by Lumern Academy, the deck was luxurious.
The deck literally had a social party atmosphere.
Traditional dishes from various countries prepared by top chefs were delighting the tongues and noses of the freshmen.
Professor Ain was even sitting on the deck, leisurely enjoying a glass of wine.
The neatly dressed employees were diligently walking around the deck and serving the students, and the noble students were happy with the treatment and were busy making friends with smiles.
“As expected, Lumern Academy is different.”
“Are you looking forward to your future school life?”
Freshmen opened their imaginations to their future school life.
Leo narrowed his eyes at that sight.
“Is something strange?”
“what?”
Carl, who brought a plate full of food, asked with a puzzled look.
“The name is a hero military school, but it has a social party atmosphere.”
“It’s before the entrance ceremony. More than that, Leo! “I asked for information.”
“information?”
“okay! Look over there!”
Carl grinned and pointed to a large male student with light brown skin eating quietly on one side of the deck.
“Wareden Taiden! “He said he was top of the Southern Examination and his major was summoning!”
“He’s an elementalist.”
“that’s right. “Did you do some research in advance too?”
I recognized it at a glance rather than recognized it, but there was no need to correct it.
“And over there is Chen Xia, the head of the Eastern Examination!”
A small, exotic-looking female student with black hair and black eyes was tasting foods from other countries with a curious look on her face.
“I heard that your major is knight science, and that you beat all your competitors with your fists in the exam?”
Karl stuck out his tongue and this time pointed in the opposite direction.
“And that person is the chief of the central exam. Duran Moira, the third prince of our kingdom. “Major in chivalry.”
A male student with light blonde hair was gently shaking a wine glass.
The area around him was full of students who were close friends with him.
Karl, with an unlucky expression on his face, pointed next to Leo.
“And Chief North.”
Chloe was reading a book while eating cake.
“They say there are two chiefs of the West, the famous Celia Gerdinger and Abad Lwalin.”
“Leo, you were here?”
Just then Celia came over.
“Welcome, Celia.”
“Celia? omg! Could it be Celia Gerdinger?”
“that’s right.”
“Leo, was the girl you were close with Celia Gerdinger? “Is this amazing?”
Carl grinned and held out his hand to Celia.
“As I introduced earlier, it’s Carl Thomas!”
“Huh? It looks like we’ve become friends now? Celia Gerdinger.”
Celia, holding Carl’s hand, looked towards Chloe.
“What about that one?”
“I’m Chloe Müller.”
“Chloe Mueller is the chief of the North?”
“that’s right.”
Chloe smiled confidently.
Celia looked at the scene with interest for a moment and asked Leo.
“What are you thinking like that?”
“just. “The image of the academy is different from what I thought.”
Lumern is a place where the best talents are selected and trained into heroes.
As such, school life was famous for being extremely difficult, and the dropout rate was extremely high.
I was just surprised that a place like that was offering such a luxurious cruise.
“No matter how much Lumerun does, would he kick the students out before the entrance ceremony?”
“that’s right. “You’re overthinking things.”
It was time for Celia to agree with Carl’s words.
Kuung-!
The hull shook greatly.
“But that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“W-what is it?”
At the same time as Leo muttered, something rose from the lake.
Sigh!
“Aaaah! what’s this!”
“Seo, really, a Kraken?”
“Suddenly it’s a Kraken! “What the hell is going on?”
The party was immediately thrown into chaos when a huge squid leg hit the deck, and the students fell into panic.
“Ah, Professor Ain! help!”
A female student urgently ran to Ain and asked for help.
Professor Ain frowned at that.
“Need help? “Why should I do that?”
