“I can’t believe I’m going to Damien for this week.”
“Now that I think about it, third graders also left school in groups around this time, right?”
“It’s an exclusive Smith contract, so I’m looking forward to it!”
weekend.
The 2nd graders who boarded the liner heading to Lumeria City were busy talking about the notice that came down yesterday.
After the weekend, it was an official letter that the entire second grade class would go to Damian for two weeks starting next week.
As the long-awaited moment approached, all the second graders were so excited that they could not hide their excitement.
The reason the second grader went to Damian was simple.
Exclusive Smith contract.
In other words, it was a period to sign a contract with a blacksmith who would take care of his weapons while attending school.
Damian was a little different from the typical hero academy.
Damian’s dwarves are powerful hero candidates, but at the same time, they are great heroes.
Like Dweno, he was also an excellent blacksmith.
As a result, dwarf heroes were often responsible for the armor of other heroes.
It could be said to be one of the biggest events in the second-year department’s schedule in terms of laying the foundation for a relationship that will continue in the future.
The second graders could not hide their excitement and headed to Lumeria City to prepare before heading to Damien.
***
Roaring- Roaring- Roaring-
Lumeria City on the weekend was one of the most vibrant places in the world.
Lumeria City is the center of the world.
Moreover, the reason why Lumeria City was special was not simply because of its geographical location.
Lumeria City was also adjacent to Lumern.
So naturally, many people gathered to see the future hero candidates.
This was also a characteristic unique to Rumern.
Seirun is located in the very center of the northern part of the continent.
A land so cold that it feels like it’s freezing you to the core.
In addition, races other than elves cannot freely wander into the elf territory.
Additionally, Seilun students rarely left school unless it was for a mission.
As a result, it was also the hero academy with the most difficult and mysterious image among the students at the four major hero academies.
The situation was similar in Azonia.
It’s not that other races can’t freely roam around in the land of the beastmen, and the free-spirited Azonia students roam around outside the school, but it’s still hard to see them.
This is because Azonia Academy is geographically located in the center of the desert. In addition, monsters were swarming around Azonia.
In Azonia, they were deliberately not suppressing these monsters on a large scale in order to improve their students’ skills.
Lastly, Damien Academy.
They were located in a huge mining area in the east.
And, perhaps due to the nature of their species, most of them stayed in their closets and were absorbed in making something, so it was not easy to see their faces.
Unlike those three academies, Lumeria City, where Lumern is located, was geographically accessible.
And since many students come out to Lumeria City on the weekends, it was relatively easy to meet them.
Thanks to this, people from outside the area often visited to see the hero candidates, and the resulting tourism revenue was also significant.
Today, more students than usual came to Lumeria City.
Most of them were first or second year students.
The second-year students deliberately brought their juniors to Lumeria City to get better acquainted with their mentees before heading to Damian.
“First of all, we need to get our school uniforms together.”
Celia, who came to Lumeria City with Leo, looked at Luke and said.
“yes? “School uniform?”
Luke looked embarrassed.
“huh. “That’s what I inherited from graduates.”
Luke scratched his head at Celia’s words.
“Because Lumern school uniforms are expensive.”
“Yes, I know. That’s why I’m trying to get new school uniforms.”
“why?”
“You are Leo Plov’s mentee. Leo is my cousin and a direct descendant of the Gerdinger family. In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that you are related to Gerdinger.”
Celia pretends to be in her arms! He took out a card with Gerdinger’s emblem drawn on it.
The card held between the index and middle fingers sparkled.
“I need an appearance worthy of Gerdinger.”
Luke laughed and scratched his head at Celia’s words.
“I am grateful, but I am okay. “It would be nice to receive financial support, but I don’t think I’m qualified for it yet.”
Celia blinked at that polite appearance.
“If you say so.”
Swish-!
Celia smiled as she put the card in her arms.
“It’s not a bad thing to have a strong sense of independence. what. In the case of my mentees… … .”
Celia slowly opened her eyes.
“I’m so self-reliant that I don’t think it would be worth taking care of.”
Two girls were standing where her eyes caught.
It was none other than Aina and Martina.
Although not as strong as Leo, these were girls who became Celia’s mentees after a fairly rigorous examination.

‘In this case, it seems like he has other intentions.’
Celia slowly opened her eyes and saw Aina staring at Luke with an expressionless face.
The last day to select a mentor.
Celia was quite surprised when Aina came to her out of the blue and asked to be her mentee.
‘I had the skills, so I accepted him as a mentee.’
Celia knew well that Aina had no intention of learning anything from her.
‘It seems like you’re quite obsessed with Leo. ‘How should I guide him?’
While Celia was worried.
Chelsea, who had bought chocolate-coated candy bars from a street vendor, said to Luke as she ate the snacks.
“hey.”
“yes?”
“Celia Gerdinger bragging about how rich she is. “Isn’t she a little weird?”
“No, that’s not true.”
“huh. You respect your seniors. Very good attitude. But sometimes you need to be honest. “I will take care of it.”
Chelsea grinned.
“It’s a little bad, isn’t it?”
“Why are you fighting?”
As Celia frowned, Chelsea stuck out her tongue.
“Leo, don’t worry about your mentee, just take care of your mentees!”
“If you don’t have a mentee, don’t mess around and just go away!”
Luke was taken aback as he watched their enemies bickering with each other, and Martina stopped them as if she was used to it.
Aina looked at the two seniors with an expressionless face.
“Leo! Why did you bring this damn Lwalin woman with you!”
“I have something to ask you.”
“ask? What favor? “I’ll take care of it for you, so chase it away!”
“It’s about magic.”
“Ugh?!”
Celia’s face distorted.
When it comes to matters related to magic, there is nothing Celia can do.
Celia glanced at Chelsea in disgust and then left, taking Aina and Martina with her.
Chelsea smiled as she looked at Celia’s back, then made a puzzled expression.
“Anyway, it’s a big deal that Leo has something to ask me about magic.”
At the beginning of his freshman year, Leo received a lot of help with magic from his classmate Chelsea.
The theoretical knowledge of Chelsea, who is an excellent wizard despite being unfamiliar with the latest magic trends and magic techniques, was very helpful.
But only the latest magic is dark.
Leo’s depth of magical knowledge is on a different level.
Even if we bring in the best wizards in the world, it’s not enough.
After Leo became somewhat familiar with the latest magic, he only accepted help when asked and rarely gave it.
‘But you have a favor to ask me?’
Chelsea’s eyes sparkled.
While I had doubts, I also hummed.
“I’m thinking of buying some grimoires and magic items.”
“ah! Then, let’s go to the magic streets of Kurazu with me!”
Kurage, the busiest district in Lumeria City.
The section there that specialized in the extraction of magic items was called Magic Street.
It was a place that sold everything needed for magic.
Not only grimoires, but also catalysts needed for magic research, etc.
And Leo had almost never been to the magic town.
‘Because Leo is a completely practical wizard.’
Leo was a great wizard, but he was far from a wizard in the essential sense.
The essence of a wizard is exploration and research.
And Leo’s magic was focused on ‘battle’.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Just because a wizard specializes in combat doesn’t mean his magic isn’t deep.
Right now, Leo’s unique magic or the star magic he learned.
‘The magic theory that Leo uses is at a level that most magicians cannot even understand, let alone imitate.’
Chelsea was also a magician closer to Leo in terms of personality.
But while Chelsea was also interested in non-combat magic research, Leo had very little of that.
‘Leo’s brother would show great abilities in magic research.’
Chelsea has whetted her appetite.
In such a situation, it had nothing to do with magic distance.
Everything Leo needs to learn magic is provided in Lumern.
And during the first year, when Chelsea, Carl, or Chloe tried to take Leo to the magic street, Celia would rush in and get in their way.
‘joy. I guess he was afraid that Leo would fall in love with magic.’
Chelsea snorted as she recalled what happened last year.
But not now.
‘Maybe the reason you asked me to help you was because you were interested in researching non-combat magic rather than combat magic. Leo, you once restored Luna’s flower-making magic, right? He was clearly interested in non-combat magic research as well! I wasn’t able to do it in first year because I was busy, but as second year I have more free time, so I may be interested in magic research!’
Chelsea decided to think positively.
Of course, if you’re interested in that, there’s no need to ask Chelsea because Chloe, who is an expert in that field, is in the same dorm.
But Chelsea couldn’t even think about it that far.
Humming a tune, the three arrived at the magic street.
Luke opened his eyes wide at the magical world unfolding before his eyes.
“and… … .”
Let the broom clean the floor on its own.
Anyone could see that this street was full of magic, with several wizards using magic to move objects.
Everything was solved with magic.
In the case of Rumern, magic was prohibited in daily life on campus as a school rule, so it was unexpected to see such a scene.
As such, landscapes like this one were not created well.
“Incredible.”
“huh? “It’s a common sight.”
Chelsea shrugged her shoulders at Luke’s exclamation.
This is not a surprising sight for Chelsea, a member of Lwalin, one of the greatest magic families.
“oh! “Chelsea!”
At that time, the owner of an ice cream shop near the entrance to Magic Street spotted Chelsea and smiled brightly and waved.
“Hello, mister. “How are you?”
“okay! “I’m currently testing a new product. What do you think?”
“Give me three!”
Chelsea exclaimed, extending three fingers.
The store owner smiled brightly and made a three-tiered ice cream cone and used telekinetic magic to blow it up.
“Oh, I… … .”
“As a senior, I can buy you this much, so feel free to eat it.”
When Chelsea narrowed one eye, Luke said ‘Thank you’ and ate the ice cream.
“hmm! hmm! I think this will sell well!”
“Oh, your evaluation is accurate, so you can expect sales?”
The store owner chuckled.
Afterwards, Chelsea walked down the street and exchanged greetings with various store owners.
“It’s famous.”
“I’m kind of famous.”
Chelsea asked, laughing.
“Anyway, how can I help you?”
“I’d like you to recommend some introductory magic books. “I learned magic on my own, so I know very little about the basics.”
Even during his previous life, Leo taught himself magic.
I learned the magic theories used by others by observing them.
Therefore, I really knew very little about initiation into magic.
‘Austin also taught me to be an amateur.’
I taught him how to use the magic he needed right away.
However, if you look at it purely as a wizard, Austin is lacking in basics.
‘Illyana will take care of that part.’
“Introduction to magic? Who will you teach?”
“huh.”
“who? “Is there anyone else among Leo’s knights with magical talent?”
When Chelsea gave her a puzzled look, Leo shook his head.
“no.”
“Then who?”
In response to Chelsea’s question, Leo pointed to the side with his finger.
Luke, who was eating ice cream, opened his already large eyes even wider.
And then, just in case, I looked to the side.
But there was no one there.
“uh… … Me?”
Luke asked again cautiously.
“uh.”
“I don’t know how to use magic.”
“Because I didn’t learn it. But you also have talent as a wizard.”
“yes? “Me?”
Luke asked in a dazed voice.
“okay. So, you will also practice magic together from now on.”
Luke felt his heart pounding.
“For your information, hide the fact that you learned magic until the final exam.”
“yes? why?”
“That’s natural.”
It was Chelsea who joined the story.
“Because it will be a trump card.”
“that’s right.”
Leo laughed.
“The more jokers, the better.”
In particular, Luke’s mana characteristics are more suited to magic than Auror.
Mana amplification due to emotions.
When wizards struggle to increase the power of magic, Luke is the source of that ability.
“I see! If you learn magic… … “Your chances of surviving the first semester will increase!”
“Of course you should.”
Chelsea was also smiling next to him.
“survival? What are you talking about.”
“yes?”
“huh?”
Chelsea and Luke looked at Leo with puzzled faces.
“Your goal for the first semester of your freshman year is to be at the top of your grade.”
“yes?”
“Leo, there’s no way that’s possible… … .”
“Is it possible.”
Leo smiled softly.
“I’m going to make it possible.”
Luke was so shocked that he still couldn’t understand the situation.
Tup-!
Chelsea put her hand on Luke’s shoulder with a sad face.
“I hope you survive.”
At those words, Luke swallowed his dry saliva.
“What kind of school life will I have?”
Chelsea smiled at that question.
“You don’t know that. What is clear is that school life is definitely hell.”
