306
A large bath in the first-year dormitory.
The large bath in the middle of the bathhouse is always used by the most students.
But currently, only two people were in the bathhouse.
The student council president and vice-student council president, who can be said to be the most powerful among Lumern students, were occupying those positions.
From the perspective of first graders, it was like death.
Lumern’s student council.
In other schools, this could be dismissed as the power of a single school, but at the Hero Academy, the power of the student council is enormous.
The leader of the hero candidates who will literally grow into heroes who will lead the future of the world.
It was a combination that first-year students who had just entered school could not help but feel intimidated by.
“Really?”
“That’s right! The professor looked at me… … huh? Why is the atmosphere like this? What is there… … Huh?”
“what’s the matter? what… … Keek?!”
The students who came into the bathhouse were scared when they found Leo and Hark.
“Don’t worry about us, just wash.”
As Leo spoke with a grin, the male students with their necks curled around him and began to wash while looking at him.
Leo said while looking at that.
“Do you really need to pay attention to the first graders?”
“I never noticed.”
Hark looked at Leo with crooked eyes.
“They were scared.”
Hark snorted, tilted his head back, yawned, and asked.
“I heard something interesting happened at Damian this time?”
The story that Leo and his party had attacked Dweno’s Hero Record had already spread throughout Rumern.
The first graders who had been paying attention to Hark’s words opened their eyes and focused on Leo.
“how was it? “Great heroes.”
“It’s just as Senior Hark imagines.”
“It’s just as you imagine.”
As the hero dungeon raider of Lumern, Hark has conquered the world of many heroes.
But even he had never experienced the world of great heroes.
“I’m jealous.”
Hark, who spoke quietly and sincerely, stood up.
Sigh!
“I’m leaving now. “I don’t like it when first-year students look at me.”
Hark snorted and widened his eyes at Leo.
“If you’re the student council president, why don’t you come to the student council as a president? “Don’t pass all your responsibilities as chairman on to me.”
Haruk left, leaving behind a grinning Leo.
‘I guess I should pay some attention to school work while preparing for the midterm exam.’
“young master!”
“Dweno’s invasion of the hero’s world! Congratulations!”
“As expected, you are Master Leo!”
When none of the first graders could think of approaching Leo.
Three people approached.
They were Leo’s Slayer Knights members Austin, Valerie, and Julan.
The three who had been trained by Leo since the Gerdinger family were first-year students who could talk to Leo without much pressure.
“Oooh! Senior Leo!”
At that time, someone suddenly approached Leo.
“Congratulations! Senior Leo! but! Aside from someone like senior Leo, who on earth could conquer Dweno’s hero record… … !”
A first year student in the Department of Magic.
Fritz from the shadows also suddenly appeared and was busy praising Leo.
This group was the type that fanatically believed in Leo and approached him without hesitation.
“Are you here, Senior Leo?”
It was Haviden who greeted Leo afterwards.
Leo, who was receiving polite greetings from his juniors, looked puzzled.
“I can’t see Luke.”
Fritz said in response to Leo’s words.
“If it’s Luke Eldar, he’d be training at the training ground right now.”
“By this time?”
“Yes, I am working very hard.”
***
After finishing his bath, Leo headed to the training room behind the first-year male dormitory.
Because it was late, there was only one person in the gym.
Luke was running through the training ground in silence.
Sweat was streaming down my entire body, and my limbs were shaking.
dump-!
“Woof!”
After running for a while, Luke fell down, covered his mouth, and vomited.
“Huh! Hehe! “Heh!”

Leo approached Luke, who was breathing heavily as if he had already surpassed the limits of his physical strength.
“You’re working hard.”
Luke was startled by Leo’s words and raised his head.
“Senior Leo! “You’re back!”
Luke, who had been trying to get up, stumbled and sat down.
My legs were shaking.
Luke’s limbs, which were already over their limits, were not listening to their owner.
On Luke’s wrists and ankles were bracelets made of magic.
It was an artifact made by Leo himself.
‘Actually, it was designed by Luna.’
This is an item that Kyle requested from Luna for training in Berkia and Bihar.
After entering Lumern, not only Leo, but also Celia and Chelsea. It was also an artifact that he used to train his knights.
The effect was a kind of sealing device that reduced the user’s physical abilities.
That includes physical as well as mana abilities.
It had the effect of nurturing the wearer’s courage by forcing them to endlessly face limitations.
‘Because Luna and Aron were very good at nurturing their students.’
Luna and Aron were born with powerful magical powers and overwhelming physical abilities.
Therefore, although he was excellent at teaching magic and martial arts, he was poor at nurturing the skills of his students.
“Have you ever removed the seal?”
“yes. Senior Leo said it. It doesn’t matter if you turn it off, but the effect will go away as soon as you turn it off even once.”
If you wear Luna’s seal, your body becomes heavy and the movement of mana slows down, as if you were falling into the deep sea.
You end up living in a state where you are always pushed to your limits.
This is the best practice to perfect a bowl.
And this method was able to produce the maximum effect because it was Luke.
Luke taught himself everything.
That’s why I couldn’t fully understand my abilities.
If other admitted students are reinforcing what is already a filled bowl at Lumern.
Luke was filling up an empty bowl in Rumern.
‘That’s why you’re so ignorant about yourself.’
An empty bowl.
They are unable to feel what and how much is filled in their bowl.
How strong he became because he sealed his abilities before they were filled.
You have no idea what your current limitations are.
He is definitely growing, but Luke himself cannot feel that fact.
What if the seal is released in such a situation?
You realize how strong you have become, and naturally you also learn your limits.
If it is sealed again after that, the growth of the body, which is already aware of its limitations, will be hindered.
The moment you become aware of the unnatural state of sealing, the effect of the sealing sphere is halved.
‘Because you will feel that the seal is a restriction.’
“Isn’t it difficult?”
“It’s something I was already prepared to do.”
“Do you feel like you’re the only one standing still?”
The initial period of admission is when freshmen become the strongest.
At this time, many grades change.
Some students who fail rise to the top, while others fall from the top.
But Luke was in last place regardless.
It was clear that in the eyes of others, it would appear that there was no development at all.
Moreover, Luke was also Leo’s mentee.
Leo Plov, an unprecedented student in Lumern history.
Being Leo’s mentee was also a factor that made many people pay attention to Luke.
Luke was also evaluated as an unprecedented student.
Of course, this was a mockery.
A Lumerun student who can’t grow at all.
The best player in the history of Lumerun, who was lucky enough to avoid dropping out.
This was how his classmates looked at Luke.
It was a very painful situation for Luke.
Luke clenched his fists at Leo’s words.
Then he took a deep breath and said.
“It’s painful.”
Luke’s eyes sank.
“Others are moving ahead, but I am standing still.”
The students who have already fallen behind are unable to make any progress.
Besides, midterm exams are coming soon.
You will feel an even bigger difference.
Of course, once the seal is broken, the story may be different.
but… … .
“Senior Leo told me.”
Luke spoke in a voice filled with determination.
“The goal is to represent the grade.”
The top students in their grade that we must look up to.
A goal that seems impossible.
To be honest, I wasn’t confident.
but… … .
“Senior Leo said I could do it. So I will do it.”
This is none other than Leo Plov’s guarantee.
Luke showed absolute faith in those words.
Leo nodded, looking at Luke.
“okay. Then, come to the second grade classroom after class tomorrow.”
“yes?”
“You said you would teach me magic if you went to Damian.”
Luke’s eyes widened.
“I know someone who can teach you magic.”
“Really?”
“okay. instead.”
Leo smiled meaningfully.
“Keep learning magic a secret.”
“yes? “Why, why?”
“There’s nothing better than a trump card to stab your opponent in the back.”
***
next day.
After finishing his first year of classes, Luke hurriedly packed his school bag.
“Looks like I’m going to train alone again.”
“Wow, how could a kid like that become the student council president’s mentee? no! “How did you get into Rumern?”
“What about Leo? “Aren’t we going to drop out together?”
I could hear my classmates whispering.
Luke sighed at that.
I’ve heard that kind of thing to the point where I’m sick of it over the past two weeks.
But I just couldn’t get used to it.
‘Maybe I’ll hear it for half a year.’
It was when Luke slumped his shoulders.
“You know what?”
A dignified voice was heard.
“There is nothing more base than slandering others behind their backs? Besides, are you laughing at Leo-senior just now?
“Ugh? Shasha?”
“No, that’s not what we meant!”
The class president of Class 1 to which Luke belongs.
Sasha glared coldly at her classmates who were laughing at Luke.
The faces of the classmates turned white at the bloody spirit of Sasha, who was the highest honors student in the first year and whose background was the princess of the Rodren Empire.
“joy.”
Sasha snorted and approached Luke.
“Luke. Where are you going in such a hurry?”
“I’m going to meet senior Leo.”
“Senior Leo? “Can I come with you?”
Sasha asked, making a graceful offer.
Sasha is basically a class president who is kind to all the students in the class.
Luke thought that although he was still young, he had the charisma to be the next emperor.
Because Luke helped me with everything, I immediately wanted to ask him to come with me.
“Keep learning magic a secret.”
But, remembering Leo’s words, I scratched my head.
“sorry. “I think I’ll have to go alone.”
“That’s too bad. “I wanted to hear the story of this world of heroes from Leo.”
Sasha gently shook the train and quenched her appetite before packing her school bag.
Luke left the class and hurriedly headed to the second grade classroom.
In front of the second grade classroom building, Luke looked nervous.
After a while.
The second graders came rushing out after class.
“Let’s eat! rice!”
“I heard there’s a new menu at Hero’s Top Restaurant!”
“Let’s go quickly before the kids crowd in!”
A group of second-year female students rushed out.
Then he noticed Luke and stopped.
“What’s going on here, first grade?”
“You’re brave. But it looks kind of cute.”
“Isn’t he Leo’s mentee?”
As the second graders paid attention, it was time for Luke to shrink his neck even more.
“Are you Luke Eldar?”
“Yes, yes? yes!”
Luke responded to the cold voice with a tense expression.
And I was shocked when I saw the other person’s face.
‘Du, Duran senior!’
Duran, with his characteristic arrogant expression, was looking down at Luke with cold eyes.
Duran curled the corner of his mouth as he looked at Luke, whose expression became even more frightened.
“Heh, Harvey Den is better.”
Luke spoke cautiously, looking at Duran, who had a somewhat satisfied expression on his face.
“Yeah, that’s right. “Harbiden is one of the best in the first-year knight department?”
“Do you admit it too? “You have eyes to see.”
Duran responded more satisfactorily to Luke’s words.
It was then.
“You’re laughing. “Why are you so proud of being chosen by Habidden as Leo Plov’s second?”
A sharp voice was heard.
‘Eh, Senior Eliza!’
Duran and Eliza are famous for being the scariest among first graders.
Luke was even more frightened by the combination of those two people.
“There’s a lot of talk about a topic that wasn’t even chosen by first-year students.”
Duran sneered and mocked Eliza.
“joy. Like mentees. Even if it exists, it’s just annoying. “I had no intention of accepting it, no matter who it was.”
Eliza snorted.
Karl said as he passed by Eliza.
“Where does the person who abandoned his evil ways on the day he was abandoned by Sasha live? … “Keuok?”
“Why are you talking about that now?”
Eliza strangled Carl with a whip.
It was when Luke became even more frightened by that bloody sight.
“What are you doing there? Come on.”
Leo called Luke.
“yes! Seniors! “I’m going!”
Luke greeted politely and followed Leo.
Duran said while looking at that.
“I also have to talk to Harveyden today as a mentor.”
“Juen was also begging me to talk to him.”
Carl, who managed to free himself, scratched his head.
All the other second graders were also in a mood to go see their mentees.
Eliza, who was left alone, snorted and walked towards the dormitory alone.
Karl said while looking at Eliza.
“Eliza, would you like to come with me?”
“Why should I go when you and your mentee are talking to me, not from the Department of Summoning but from the Department of Magic?”
Carl grinned as he looked at Eliza who answered pointedly.
“Juen asked me to talk about the Phoenix King, so I thought I would do that.”
“Hmph, it might be worth listening to.”
Eliza crossed her arms and approached Carl.
***
“Senior Leo, can you teach me magic?”
“I think the basics of magic are too old-fashioned. I would like to ask someone who is familiar with the latest magic trends. “I might be interested in you too.”
Leo calmly answered Luke’s question with shining eyes.
And the place we headed was the second year magic department building.
Leo entered the building and headed to Ren’s professor’s office.
smart-
“Professor Ren. This is Leo Plov. may I come in?”
Ren, who normally would have come out with open arms, was quiet.
Leo, who had a puzzled expression on his face, was about to knock again.
“Student Leo is here.”
Anna approached me with a vaguely clear voice.
“Associate Professor Anna. “Is Professor Ren away?”
In response to Leo’s question, Anna looked at the ceiling and sighed.
Her eyes were covered with dark circles and her face was tired, as if she hadn’t slept a wink.
“See for yourself.”
Anna opened the door.
Leo looked shocked at the sight he saw inside.
There were liquor bottles lying around on the desk, which was always full of magic theories.
Ren was lying face down on the desk.
He, who was always neat and tidy, almost looked like a wreck.
“Why are you doing that again?”
“… … Listen to the drunkenness.”
Anna, with her arms crossed, answered coldly with a look on her face that made her want to punch Ren in the back of the head right now.
Leo approached Ren.
“I’m done… … I will end up losing my students to a new first-year professor… … “Uh huh huh huh.”
“… … .”
“Professor Mel has been doing this ever since the day he led the second graders to Damian.”
Leo sighed deeply at Anna’s words.
‘Sometimes Professor Ren’s mental strength is so strong that it’s scary, but sometimes he’s like glass.’
