The Tower of Heroes in the center of Rumern.
This place is more for the faculty and staff than for Lumern’s great students.
And there is the principal’s office at the top of the Hero’s Tower.
Principal Calian, who was sitting at his desk with a relaxed expression, turned his head to the window.
Grumbling!
A woman with crimson hair appeared along with the flames.
“Welcome, Pirina.”
Calian’s complexion, who was greeting Finira with a soft smile, suddenly changed.
“Has the intruder moved?”
Five years ago, an intrusion incident occurred inside Lumern.
Because there were no casualties, it was not publicly known, and the culprit was never caught.
However, Lumern is not just an educational institution, but a place where hero records are stored.
Not only did he break through Lumern’s security network, he even caused an incident inside Lumern and was not caught.
It was clear that if this incident became known to the world, it would cause great confusion, so it was left unwritten.
But that didn’t stop the search for the culprit.
So, Calian asked Eren to invite Pirina to Rumern.
This is because there was no phantom beast as great as Phoenix in charge of monitoring the entire vast area of Rumern.
“Nothing like that, but I bring you good news.”
“good news?”
“This time, a Phoenix contractor was born among Lumerun students.”
“Is that really true?”
Calian asked in surprise.
“Is there a contract with you? Or did you sign with another Phoenix?”
“I signed a contract with my child born this time.”
“If it were your child, weren’t you planning to make a contract with the heir of the Lundua family?”
“It was planned to be like that, but somehow it ended up like this.”
“You were able to sign a contract because you were a young Phoenix… … Still, you signed a contract as a student! “Besides Ulta, was there anyone in the 5th grade who was as talented?”
Calian naturally thought that a contractor was born among the highest grade.
Except for Pegasus’ contractor, Ulta, all 5th year summoning students thought it was surprising because their specialty was elemental magic.
“I’m not in 5th grade.”
“Hoo? Are you in 4th grade? but! “The current 4th year phantom beast summoning expert is very good.”
“Not even fourth grade.”
Pirina shook her head.
Principal Calian’s face changed subtly.
“Are you sure you’re a third year student?”
“no.”
“… … .”
“2nd grade?”
Calian burst into laughter as he saw Pirina laughing without answering.
“Are you saying that a contractor has been born among first-year students?”
“that’s right.”
“someone?”
“Leo Plov.”
“Hehehehe. “Leo Plov?”
This is a student that Albi, who is known for being picky, recommended as a potential hero.
So, it is said that the student who was selected as the class representative despite opposition from other professors suddenly became a contractor for Phoenix.
‘Didn’t that student say he was majoring in knighthood?’
Principal Calian was surprised and stroked his beard.
‘I’ll have to see you as soon as possible.’

“Thank you for your effort!”
After the Summoning class, the first graders, who greeted each other energetically, rushed out of the training room.
It was already late evening.
The stomachs of the students who were growing up and had taken the timing test were crying out for food.
All of the first graders quickly headed to the student cafeteria.
“Master Leo. If it’s okay, would you like to have dinner together?”
“good.”
Leo also tried to leave the classroom with Chen Xia.
“Student Leo.”
“yes.”
“The professor is looking for you.”
Carlo came over and said.
“I guess we’ll have to eat dinner separately.”
“there’s nothing we can do. See you next class then. “Master Leo.”
Chen Xia left the classroom first.
Leo followed Carlo to the professor’s office.
When Carlo arrived at the professor’s office and knocked, he heard the brief words ‘come in’ from inside.

“Please come in.”
After greeting Carlo, Leo entered the room.
Contrary to his free-spirited personality, Professor Yura’s office was neatly organized.
Professor Yura, who was sitting at his desk, offered me a seat across from him.
“sit down.”
As Leo sat down, Professor Yura opened his mouth as if there was no need to wait.
“I’ll ask you straight, student Leo.”
“yes.”
“Isn’t that Phoenix, the Hwansu you signed earlier?”
‘I guess you knew.’
“yes.”
Professor Yura was agitated by Leo’s answer.
I had expected it, but I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear the confirmation from Leo’s mouth.
“Can you show me?”
Looking at Professor Yura asking with a trembling voice, Leo put his hand into the inside pocket of his school uniform.
Pirina said he would come pick her up tonight, so Fiora was still with Leo.
Fiora was placed on the desk.
“I never thought I would see a young Phoenix in my lifetime!”
It’s hard to see an adult phoenix, but even the Lumern professor couldn’t help but be excited because he saw a baby phoenix, which is even harder to find.
“Ha~! “What a majestic figure!”
Fiora, who was brave and natty, was dozing off like a sick chick.
‘Do you have bad eyesight?’
“What’s your name?”
“Fiorayo.”
“How on earth did you find it? “I didn’t know that there was a phoenix in the Forest of Phantom Beasts.”
The status of professors in Lumern is by no means low.
All were highly skilled in their fields and were also conductors with considerable authority in times of emergency.
Even to that professor, Pirina’s existence was a secret.
Leo, who heard that fact from Pirina, prepared an excuse.
“While wandering through the forest, I found an egg. “I didn’t know why it was there, but it was a phoenix egg.”
It is a weak answer to believe blindly.
But there is no way to explain Phoenix’s contract other than coincidence.
Moreover, there was no way to confirm what Leo said.
“No matter what, it wouldn’t have been easy to recognize that it was a phoenix egg, right?”
Phoenix is a fantasy beast of which little is known despite its fame.
Related information is not traded at a high price for no reason.
“My maternal family is related to the Phoenix, so I have read an old book about the Phoenix.”
“Where is your maternal family?”
“This is Gerdinger.”
Professor Yura was surprised.
‘but… … If it’s Gerdinger, I understand. ‘The source of the auror flame they use is the power of the Phoenix.’
As long as you have talent as a summoner, there would be no more perfect conditions to be a Phoenix contractor.
‘But now, a 15-year-old kid has signed a contract with Phoenix.’
Professor Yura’s eyes lit up.
There were still questions, but what was important now was Leo’s status as a student and the talent of Leo, who signed a contract with Phoenix just one day after entering the school.
“i get it. Thank you for your time. “Now go.”
Professor Yura escorted Leo to the entrance of the professor’s office.
And before opening the door, he spoke seriously.
“Student Leo.”
“yes.”
“It would be best to keep the fact that we signed a contract with Phoenix a secret for the time being. If that fact becomes known, there will be an uproar.
“All right.”
“okay. Then, have a nice dinner and see you in the next class.”
Professor Yura tapped Leo on the shoulder and closed the door.
And then I went and sat down and thought about it.
‘How on earth should I teach that gemstone?’
Professor Yura was full of dreams.
A summoner with unprecedented talent is his student!
I wanted to raise him to be the best summoner at all costs.
‘Should I at least skip a grade? ‘I’m worried about taking on a talented student!’
Yura fell into happy thoughts as she thought of her student who would become a great summoner in the future.
I was willing to give Leo private lessons if he wanted.
Professor Yura had no doubt that Leo would choose summoning as his main major.
Isn’t it obvious? Are you saying that it is even possible for someone with that level of talent to go to another department?
‘Hehe, the best major department for the next 5 years is our Summoning Department!’
Professor Yura didn’t know.
The fact is that Leo doesn’t have a major.
***
The next morning.
Leo headed to the magic building with Carl to take a magic class.
“oh! Chloe!”
Carl spotted Chloe walking in front of her with a magic book on her side and waved.
“Hi, Leo, Carl. Haam.”
“Why are you yawning this morning?”
“I stayed up late yesterday reading the magic book.”
“okay? Then how about this?”
Carl grinned and took out a small bottle from his pocket.
“Carl Company’s fatigue recovery potion! “It will only cost five shillings.”
“It’s not strange, right?”
“The added ingredients and certification mark are all on the label.”
“Hmm.”
Chloe checked the label, nodded and bought a fatigue recovery potion.
While drinking it, I glanced at Leo.
“Are you really taking a magic class?”
“I said I would listen.”
“This guy even took a summons class yesterday?”
Chloe looked at Leo curiously at Carl’s words.
“What class did you take yesterday?”
“I’m a pure magician, so there were no classes yesterday. So he studied in the library.”
“Wow, you really are an honor student.”
The three arrived at the magic building while making small talk.
The [Main Lecture Room], the location of today’s class, was a large circular lecture hall that could accommodate up to 500 people.
Carl grinned after seeing the classroom.
“There are still seats in the back, which are prime seats, right? Guys, what are you doing? “We have to go quickly!”
“What are you talking about? The best place is at the front.”
“It seems like you and I are taking different paths.”
Carl tried to cut Chloe off without any hesitation.
But Chloe was faster than him, pulling Karl’s ear.
“Ouch yay?!”
“Are you trying to doze off behind me? “If you are a student of magic, you must attend classes diligently.”
“Hey! Let’s talk about this? huh! hey!”
Chloe quickly made Carl sit in the front row of the classroom.
“If you keep doing this, the professor will catch you while you’re dozing off!”
Chloe laughed at Carl who was screaming.
“On the other hand, if you study hard, your professor will view you favorably.”
Carl looked at her with resentful eyes, but Chloe didn’t pay any attention and just opened her major book.
Leo, who was also sitting in front, suppressed laughter.
At that time, a man came up to the podium in the classroom.
Thump-thump-thud-
Wearing a neat suit and pomaded hair, he was a man worthy of being called handsome.
He smiled as he stood in the middle of the podium while several female students exclaimed in exclamation.
“nice to meet. Dear first year students. My name is Len Hors. “I am a professor who will be teaching you magic theory subjects for a year.”
Ren’s introduction was met with applause.
“Do any students have any questions before class?”
A barrage of questions poured in from female students.
“professor! “Do you have a girlfriend?”
“How old are you?”
“What is your ideal type?”
Useless questions that had nothing to do with the class poured out.
Nevertheless, Professor Ren smiled kindly and answered everything.
“He’s a handsome professor. The female students are going to die. But Len Hors? Is this a name you’ve never heard of? Chloe, do you know anything?”
Chloe shook her head as Carl, who placed the pen on his upper lip, kissed the back of his head and asked.
“I’ve never heard of it either.”
After the private questions were over, Professor Ren spoke.
“Today we are going to teach an introduction to magic theory. Previously!”
Just-!
Professor Ren snapped his fingers.
Paralalalak-!
Paper started flying throughout the classroom.
The wad of paper arrived exactly in front of the students.
“Before we start class, we will take a simple magic theory test.”
“Yesss?”
“It’s a test from the first day~ Teacher, you’re so great~”
Complaints poured in from all over.
There were also female students who whined cutely.
“For your information, students who do not meet the standard will not be able to take any magic major classes in the future.”
“… … !”
The light atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Meanwhile, one student cautiously raised his hand.
“Gyo, professor. “What if a magic student doesn’t pass the test?”
“Of course.”
Professor Ren answered lightly as if he was asking something like that.
“I’m being expelled.”
