The rumor that Leo had visited the horticulture club quickly spread throughout the club.
It was a sensitive time due to budget issues as it was the period leading up to the Ruse match.
Therefore, the club as a whole seemed to welcome Leo’s appearance.
Among them, there were quite a few clubs that were planning to extort more of the budget from the easy-going first-year student council president.
“I don’t think this will be covered by additional budget?”
“omg?!”
The head of the Magic Engineering Department looked surprised after hearing Leo’s words.
“why? why? why! Why isn’t there any additional budget? “The horticulture department said they received it!”
Jame Dect, head of the 4th year Magical Engineering Department, asked angrily.
Leo said while looking at Jay.
“A space movement magic technique that drastically reduces the consumption of magic stones. “It was a long-term project of the Department of Magical Engineering that has been in progress for the past two years, right?”
“okay! “Once completed, this research will cost more money than the budget received so far!”
“Be honest. To what extent do you think it has been completed in your opinion?”
“Almost done!”
“Almost?”
Leo made an expressionless expression.
Jame flinched at those words and said.
“Well, half.”
“half?”
“We’ve solved all the difficult parts, so now only the small details remain!”
“Senior, you will be graduating next year. “Once the Head of the Department of Magical Engineering graduates, who will take over?”
“I have talented and smart juniors!”
The members of the Magic Engineering Club sighed at Jame’s words.
This is a topic that I often complain about because I don’t understand it.
But when it comes to urgency, they say he’s competent.
‘How can he be the same as the former manager?’
‘No, but if you want to stay within the budget, you have to kiss.’
All members of the Magic Engineering Club have invested at least six months of time into this magic research.
So, I wanted to somehow get more out of my budget.
“That’s right, Leo. “We will continue the project, following in our footsteps!”
“Yes, this research has been ongoing since I graduated as a senior, so it continues to improve!”
First, second, and third year students appealed to the need for research.
‘Well, it’s not impossible in theory.’
Leo saw a magic spell.
It was clear that a lot of research had actually been done.
However, achieving results was still a magic trick from a distant story.
“But it’s not something worth announcing at the Ruse match. “The additional budget is for preparations for the Ruse match, right?”
Hearing Chen Xia’s words, Jayme sighed and placed his hand on his forehead.
“Oh dear. This is why I can’t study knighthood. Even though magic research is ongoing, it is worth publishing. In fact, our Magic Engineering Department has been praised as being excellent by Seilun professors every time during the Luce War!”
“yes. So, it says here that you always fell behind in the evaluations of the Seilun Magic Engineering Department, which published practical magic techniques?”
When Chen Xia spoke with her characteristic soft smile, Jayme got upset.
“Magic is the realm of exploration and creation! “Don’t compare us to the Seirun Magic Engineering Department, which only pursues practicality and no dreams!”
“That’s right! “That’s right!”
“Our Magic Engineering Department plans to risk everything to perfect this magic! So it will bring about a change in the world!”
The students of the Department of Magical Engineering responded enthusiastically to Jame’s speech.
“ruler! Then, let me explain one by one why our Department of Magical Engineering needs additional budget! blackboard! chalk!”
In response to Jame’s shout, students from the Department of Magical Engineering brought a simple blackboard and chalk.
“Space movement magic is the principle of moving by folding space, right? In order to reach the entrance to a distant space, it is inevitable that a large space must be folded, so it takes a lot of strength! so! Fold it over and over again to make the space smaller! Just like a spring! Then the mana consumed… … .”
Chen Xia looked at Leo with a troubled expression as Jayme began to give a complex explanation.
Anyway, Chen Xia is unfamiliar with magic.
If you hear such a difficult explanation, you will not be able to properly understand the reason.
Leo listened to Jayme’s explanation and nodded his head in agreement.
At those words, Jame smiled inwardly.
‘Professor Ren and Senior Torua also evaluated our research as excellent!’
The reason that the Department of Magical Engineering was able to receive a large budget without any results was largely due to the influence of Ren and Torua, who liked trying new things.
There was no need to worry about the budget until now, as the Magic Department had a significant influence and Torua, the vice-student council president, supported it.
‘Leo Plov is also a wizard! So they will recognize our research!’
Jayme put down the chalk with such confidence.
“how is it?”
“Incredible.”
“right? So, additional budget… … .”
“But in this situation, it seems like next year’s budget will have to be cut instead of an additional budget.”
Ujijik-!
James’ body stiffened at Leo’s unexpected words.
“you! “You didn’t understand my explanation, did you?”
“I understood it very well. So now I will explain why you need to cut it.”
Leo picked up the chalk and put it on the blackboard where Jame was giving his speech, pointing out all the areas that needed to be corrected and improved.

widely-
Leo put down the chalk and said while looking at Jayme who was gaping.
“If we research in this direction, we can save money. So, I guess I should shave it off, right?”
What Leo mentioned is an improvement that Jame is also aware of.
The reason I didn’t explain it was to somehow manage the number of cases within the budget, which is exactly what Leo pointed out.
“Now, wait! We are researching other things besides this magic… … .”
“I said I would complete this spell on the honor of the Magic Engineering Department and bring about a change in the world. So, don’t worry about other research and focus only on this research. Sia. “Let’s check the budget cuts and report it to senior Elena.”
“Okay, Master Leo.”
“omg? “Huh, Elena?”
Hark, who is in charge of practical work, does not like magic very much.
So it was clear that anything related to magic would be left to Elena.
And Elena is also the acting chairman.
It is like the source of the school budget.
‘It would be nice to save money on unnecessary things.’
It was clear that Elena would cut the budget mercilessly in this way.
Torua, who has been a strong supporter of the Magic Engineering Department, is scheduled to graduate.
In the case of Len, another supporter.
‘Student Leo told you to cut the budget? ‘I guess we can just cut it.’
It is obvious to say that
It is a famous story that Ren makes every effort to attract Leo to the Department of Magic.
In the end, Jayme had no choice but to grab Leo’s pants and beg.
“Please at least cut the budget! Because there is no need for additional budget! please!”
Other members of the Magic Engineering Club also held on to Leo’s feet and prayed.
In the end, the Department of Magical Engineering did not receive any additional budget.
The next place we visited was ‘The Power’, a physical training club led by students from the Department of Engineers.
Leo and Chen Xia said while looking at the members of ‘The Power’ doing strength training.
“… … Do you need additional budget support?”
“Yes. “I need to buy supplements to help me strengthen my muscles.”
“Does that help?”
“of course. Look! “Nice forearms!”
Dick Bickler, a senior at The Power, showed off his arm muscles.
Chen Xia was amazed when she saw the huge muscles writhing.
“Leo! As you know, aurors and skills are important in actual combat, but physical training is just as important. We at The Power are aiming for a higher level through physical training! Look! “This beautiful body!”
Breathe! Muscles rose all over Dick’s body along with a straining sound.
Leo said while looking at that.
“In real life, you don’t need to build muscles like that. “I’ll assume there is no additional budget.”
“No, don’t be so firm. a little bit… … huh? Because even half of it is good. No, even 1/4… … !”
Dick pleaded with his junior.
Clubs that tried to easily obtain additional budget just because Leo was a freshman often had their budgets cut in the worst case scenario.
As evening fell, Leo was treated as a grim reaper by the club leaders.
“Welcome, Leo.”
Celia welcomed Leo who stopped by the art department.
“The head of the art department.”
“You ran away because you were scared. The art department said there was no need for additional budget.”
Celia let out a small sigh when she saw that the manager, who had been dreaming of getting the budget from Leo until a while ago, had run away after hearing the rumor.
Hearing those words, Leo tilted his head.
“You ran away before I came? Huh? “Have you ever been stabbed?”
“no! No stabbing! “No!”
Miria Juliet, head of the art department, who was hiding in the art club’s warehouse, got scared and rushed out, kicking down the warehouse door.
She came running out of breath and said while calming down her rough breathing.
“Mi, welcome to the art department! While you’re here, would you like to go and see the works that will be exhibited at this year’s Ruse exhibition?”
“yes.”
Leo nodded willingly.
Under Miria’s guidance, Leo and Chen Xia looked at the work being made.
The thing that stood out the most was none other than a painting of a phoenix.
“Isn’t it cool? “The expression of flames is especially amazing.”
“right? “This is what Celia drew.”
“Hoo.”
Leo looked at his cousin in admiration.
Celia blandly brushed her hair.
And there were sculptures as wonderful as Celia’s paintings.
Leo paused as he looked at the piece.
The sculpture was none other than Luna, smiling benevolently.
‘It doesn’t really suit me.’
I asked with a laugh.
“Whose work is this?”
Even at first glance, it was an unusual skill.
“It’s Warrenden.”
“Waredon? Was he in the art club too?”
“huh. “He doesn’t come often, but his sculpting skills are amazing.”
“Hoo.”
Leo nodded with admiration.
Eventually, Miria asked Leo, who had finished appreciating the work.
“How do you feel after seeing everything?”
“That’s great.” “Okay! “The art department beat Seilun’s art department every year at the art exhibition!”
Ahem! Leo said, looking at Miria who confidently spread out her chest.
“Now then, shall we talk about the budget? “Don’t you think the art department’s budget is too big?”
dump-
Miria sat down in her seat as if her legs had lost strength.
And then he looked up at Leo with eyes full of fear.
“Please, at least cut it…” … .”
“just joke.”
Leo smiled and left the art department.
Celia, who was coming out to meet us, narrowed her eyes.
“Leo.”
“why?”
“You are enjoying yourself.”
“huh. “It’s fun.”
‘… … It’s already like this, so I can’t even imagine how scary it will be when he starts working as student council president in earnest.’
Celia shook her head, thinking that her cousin would get away with a reign of terror.
That evening.
Lumern’s annual event, a banquet, was held.
Every year, after the second semester midterm exams, Lumern gathered all grades and held a banquet.
An event that marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall.
And fall was also the season when Kyle defeated Erebos.
This dinner also had the meaning of celebrating the day when peace was restored.
‘I didn’t even know it was fall at the time.’
The main auditorium next to the Tower of Heroes.
All grades were sitting down and sharing a meal.
Meanwhile, the wind spirits roamed the main auditorium and gave something to the students.
As it was a time of new hope, there was also a tradition of adults giving children gifts they always wanted.
Leo also received several gifts from his parents around this time every year.
But this year was a little strange.
“… … “Isn’t the amount of gift a joke?”
Leo looked shocked as he saw the wind spirits busily bringing gift boxes to him.
Carl clicked his tongue after checking the names written on the gift box.
“These are the powerful people of each country and power. “When I heard that you became the student council president, I started sending out gifts to make you look good.”
Jiik-!
Leo unwrapped the palm-sized box and checked the contents.
Inside was a necklace.
“Wow, this is Dieden’s artifact, right?”
Carl was impressed.
“Was Dieden a magic workshop favored by Chelsea?”
“okay. “It’s a place that not even a decent noble family would dare to venture into.”
Clicking his tongue, Karl looked at the necklace closely.
“There is a shield spell on. This is a very expensive item. Why give something like this as a gift? “I guess I really want to look good to you.”
At Carl’s words, Leo put the necklace in the box.
“I don’t really need it.”
“It’s better than nothing, right?”
Carl chuckled and looked at some gift boxes.
“There is no sender’s name on this?”
As Carl said, the long box, simply wrapped in brown paper, had no name on the sender.
“Goods brought in from outside are inspected for safety once they come in, so they are not dangerous, but… … “Does it look suspicious?”
Chelsea, who was engrossed in eating food next to her, muttered while eating her pasta.
Jiik-!
Leo opened the package with a puzzled expression.
I saw an old smooth wooden box.
Leo carefully opened the lid.
Click-!
And what came out from inside was a plain-looking long sword and a letter.
“Longsword?”
“What is it? It looks normal.”
Chelsea and Carl looked puzzled.
An ordinary long sword while everyone is sending luxurious gifts.
“I feel a peculiar mana… … .”
“Wait a minute, this is material you’ve never seen before?”
Karl, from a family of alchemists, said in surprise.
Leo muttered as he carefully stroked the surface of the longsword.
“The Dragonborn.”
“what?”
“Dragon Bone?!”
At the shout of astonishment, the surrounding attention focused on Leo.
Leo checked the contents of the letter.
It was a small, neat font.
-Congratulations on becoming student council president. Please write well.
