576.
The opening match ended and the spectators who watched the Heroes’ Festival were filled with excitement.
“I never thought the day would come when I would be able to see the Phoenix!”
“It was amazing… … But it was very scary.”
“Ugh! “At that level, I almost thought he was a demon!”
“Yekki! This guy! A magical beast to a sacred phantom beast! “I want to be punished by God!”
The audience from outside chatted with excitement.
Meanwhile, the thing that caught my eye the most was the huge group of boys and girls.
“It was amazing to see him blow away the lava golem with one blow!”
“If I enroll next year, will I become that person’s junior?”
“It looks small and cute, but it’s that strong… … Haha~”
Leading what seemed to be about 1,000 boys and girls were Artian, the first-year professor in charge of Rumern’s Summoning Department, and associate professors.
“Hey, everyone. “Please move in a line instead of bunching up.”
“I heard that Luke Eldar is from a commoner background. “That’s amazing.”
“Aina-sama would do something like that, right?”
“Same goes for Mr. Harveyden. “You just stepped forward first.”
Artian speaks in a timid voice as if pleading with the children.
However, those who appeared to be nobles did not listen and were busy saying what they wanted to say.
“What do nobles and commoners have to do with each other in Lumern? “Your skills are definitely the best!”
At that time, a girl got angry and stepped forward.
“what? commons. “Are you confronting me, a nobleman?”
“joy. First of all, from the way he asserts his authority, it is clear that he is from the West. “This is why people in the area under the influence of the Rodren Empire are not allowed.”
“under? Are you disparaging the Rodren Empire just because of the commoners? “You don’t know that the student council president of Lumern is Leo, a direct descendant of the Gerdinger family, right?”
“funny. So what? Are you Leo Plov himself?”
“Ugh!”
“Hey, calm down.”
“That guy. “He is the successor to Lola Dandan.”
“what?”
Lola top.
It is a huge merchant base based in the southern part of the continent.
It is a powerful family that not only controls all trade rights for humans in the southern part of the continent, but also exerts influence over the entire continent based on that power.
Although it was a commoner family, its influence was so enormous that even the royal families of small countries cringed.
The Rodren noble boy, who was intimidated, soon became angry.
“Well, you’re a commoner with a lot of money! “Among the famous students in Lumern right now, there is a commoner!”
“There’s Luke Elda, the first-year representative! And there’s Carl Thomas, the acting student council president!”
This time, another commoner boy got angry and shouted.
“Hmph, isn’t Carl Thomas a parachute? Your grades are also miserable… … ! “Wow!”
Wow!
The Rodren noble student who was laughing was hit in the side by someone’s kick and flew away.
“These… … Did you get a stake driven in your ear? “Can’t you hear me when I say nice things?”
The children felt goosebumps rising all over their bodies as they heard Artian’s gloomy voice.
“W-what… … .”
“What I’m saying is, listen to what I say! “You arrogant chicks!”
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Save me… … “Wow!”
Artian’s anger was poured out on those who did not follow the control and talked freely.
“What are they doing, being beaten by Professor Artian?”
Illyana, who was sitting by the window in the classroom building watching the scene, tilted her head and Carl informed her.
“They are test takers.”
“A test taker? “What a test taker.”
“While preparing for the Heroes’ Festival this time, I also prepared for next year’s entrance exam. “They are the final test takers who passed the third round of the process.”
“Why didn’t I know anything? “Did you know?”
“I didn’t know either?”
“You were preparing for the entrance exam for freshmen while preparing for the Heroes’ Festival?”
The second graders looked surprised.
“It’s easy to not know. You’ve all been busy preparing for the Hero’s Festival, right? “Leo, I, senior Elena, and the professors prepared together for the entrance exam.”
‘Of course, the dragons helped too.’
Carl thought of the Wisdom students Leo had brought with him.
Carl knows Leo’s identity.
That’s why I wasn’t surprised by what he did.
However, Elena’s reaction was calm when she saw Leo bringing Wisdom students into the workforce.
‘Wow~ It was really hard preparing for the Hero’s Festival, but now I can breathe a little easier. Please take care of me. Dragons.’
They were simply happy that a new workforce had been created.
‘Heh. Are you Elena Geron? nice to meet. It is called Leaden. If something is difficult, just tell me. I will help you as a guide.’
The dragon named Ridden said with a slightly arrogant expression.
and… … .
‘knife! You tell the witch! Stop raising your workload now! How can it be that the more you work, the more you have to work for?’
Soon, Ridden and Wisdom’s dragons were holding on to the hem of Cal’s pants and begging.

Of course, Carl himself also wanted to cry.
The really scary thing about Elena is that she doesn’t force things to happen or squeeze people to the limit.
He had the ability to act and do things as soon as he had the energy to do so.
As soon as I saw Wisdom’s students, I smiled and said, ‘Now we can take the entrance exam together during the Festival of Heroes.’ As she said this, her sword trembled as she remembered Elena laughing happily.
“I think Elena really has amazing abilities. “I really want to emulate that.”
“no. “Nella.”
“huh?”
“Listen carefully, Nella.”
Carl put his hands on Nella’s shoulders and brought his face closer.
“That woman is a witch. “She should never be imitated.”
The students were silent as they looked at Karl speaking in a fearful voice.
“Leo! “You also need to talk.”
“Well, I’m kind of cute.”
When Leo, who was sitting by the window, smiled and spoke, the second graders around him clicked their tongues.
“Wow, Leo is Leo.”
“How can you call Elena-senpai cute?”
“Class president, are you also treating Elena-senior like a child?”
Leo shrugged his shoulders at the reactions of those around him.
In fact, for Leo, who had been tormented by Lisinas, who was much more vicious than Elena, Elena was at least cute.
“anyway! That witch should never be imitated… … .”
Carl, who had been talking with a straight face, became silent when he realized that all his friends were looking behind him.
Cold sweat broke out on my back.
“… … “Are you behind me?”
When Nella nodded to that question, a small, pretty hand came to rest on Carl’s shoulder.
“Kal. What were you talking about so enthusiastically? “Are you talking about me behind my back?”
It was a gentle touch and a beautiful voice that delighted people’s ears, but when Karl heard those words, he sat down without realizing it.
And when he looked back with trembling eyes, he saw the Queen of Rumern looking down at him with pink eyes.
“Yo, forgive me… … .”
“It’s okay, you can talk behind your back.”
Elena said with a grin and patted Karl’s head.
“Instead, what I said about letting you rest after the Heroes’ Festival is over is canceled.”
“Well, like that!”
Carl looked white and despaired.
Leaving the knife behind, Elena smiled and walked back to the entrance of the classroom.
Leo, seeing that, stood up.
“Then everyone, prepare well.”
With those words, Leo left the classroom.
Elena, who was waiting at the classroom door, followed Leo.
“Looking at me like that, Elena looks like a secretary.”
“You are the student council president and vice-student council president. “It was originally a similar relationship.”
“What can I say, when I look at Leo these days, he doesn’t really look like he’s in the same grade as us. “I wonder if it feels dignified.”
The students looked at that and nodded.
“I feel like the class president has gone far away.”
Illyana slumped her shoulders and muttered.
These were second graders who had recently felt a growing distance from Leo.
Not just other second graders.
The department towers were also feeling nervous about the growing distance between them and Leo.
Chloe put pressure on the grimoire she was reading, and Celia tightly held the sword attached to her waist.
Duran clicked his tongue, and Warrenden, who was crossing his arms and closing his eyes, let out an uncharacteristically small breath.
Looking at that scene, Chen Xia muttered to herself.
‘Everyone feels a sense of distance from Master Leo.’
Can not help it.
Because Leo and they are fundamentally different.
The years we have lived and the experiences we have experienced are different.
They cannot be placed on the same line in the first place.
But even if Chen Xia knows that fact, others do not.
Chelsea, who knew Leo’s identity, said in confusion.
“Why is everyone so depressed?”
“I don’t want to show weakness, Chelsea. Honestly, when I look at Leo… … “Have you come to despair?”
Abad smiled bitterly and patted his younger brother’s head.
“Why are you doing this to your brother? hey! Celia! “Don’t look like a bonfire in the rain!”
“… … “The analogy is really interesting.”
Celia frowned and glared slightly at Chelsea, but the usual fiery reaction did not occur.
Chelsea stamped her feet as she saw that.
Chelsea knows.
Leo wants a friend who will not give up and stand with him on the final battlefield.
And that the candidate is themselves.
That’s why Leo, knowingly or unknowingly, encouraged the growth of those around him.
But I can’t receive Leo’s help forever.
‘What should I do?’
Chelsea pursed her lips.
‘I promised Aron.’
He said he would help Leo.
I said I would support Leo.
You can’t do it on your own.
Eliza sneered as she looked at Chelsea who didn’t know what to do.
“That’s strange, Chelsea Llewalin. “What are you so nervous about?”
“Where does the person who gets trained by Leo early in the morning out of anxiety live?”
“Aaaaaaaah?!”
Eliza was startled when she saw Carl coming up behind her and whispering.
Then he gritted his teeth and strangled Karl with his whip and spoke softly.
“Did I tell you not to talk about that?”
“Well, so small… … Wow! Buy, save… … .”
Eliza let go of the knife and huffed with a red face.
“Miss Eliza, no matter how much I surprised you, this is a bit too much. Look, it left a mark.”
When Chen Xia spoke reproachfully, Eliza paused, clicked her tongue, said ‘Tsk’, took out a small container from her arms, and threw it to Karl.
“I was too harsh. It’s a good ointment for the wounds I use. Apply it.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Chen Xia and Karl looked at Eliza blankly.
“What is it?”
“Miss Eliza admits that she did something too harsh and gives her good medicine for her wounds?”
“Aren’t you seriously ill?”
Eliza’s hands trembled and she lashed out at Carl like crazy.
“Why only me?!”
“Because Chen Xia won’t be hit anyway!”
After some commotion, Karl said while applying ointment to his body.
“Why is it so different from you? How long has it been for a day or two that Leo felt like a wall?”
“joy. “You’re just saying it’s not your business.”
Eliza sneered coldly.
“Since you’re a failing student who always survives by doing pull-ups, you can comfortably flirt with Leo Plov, right? Do you even know how we feel?”
Eliza, who suddenly got emotional and spoke more sharply than usual, made an expression of regret.
Carl smiled as he looked at Eliza.
“That’s right, it’s none of my business.”
Carl shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Anyway, it’s true that I’m a failed candidate who won’t be surprised if I fall out of this race at any time.”
“no. So what I mean is… … .”
“Well, I’ll never be able to be a hero.”
Carl shrugged his shoulders.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m not trying. She has been struggling to survive somehow. And on the other hand, I gained courage from seeing you challenge Leo without giving up.”
“… … .”
Eliza closed her mouth without realizing it.
“The other guys will be similar to me. Just like you guys are chasing Leo. Other kids are following behind you. “As long as you don’t give up chasing Leo, the others won’t either.”
Leo seems to be leading them.
They also led those around them.
“So don’t show yourself weak. “I will continue to support you in the future.”
With those words, Karl clenched his fists and left the classroom.
“Where?”
In response to Chelsea’s question, Carl shrugged his shoulders more exaggeratedly than usual.
“restroom.”
Druk- Tak-!
When Carl left the classroom, everyone looked at Eliza.
“I, I mean… … .”
“It was bad. “Miss Eliza.”
As Chen Xia spoke reproachfully, Eliza pursed her lips and left the classroom.
Looking at that, Chelsea tilted her head.
“Where are we going?”
“I guess he went to apologize to Carl.”
“That lump of pride?”
“Even though she has strong pride, Miss Eliza is kind. It’s a bit unfortunate that I’m not honest… … “But it’s still cute.”
“Sia, I think your tolerance for being nice is a little wide.”
“Of course~ I say Ms. Chelsea is nice, right?”
“What does that mean!”
“Good~ Nice~”
“Don’t treat me like a kid!”
Chen Xia laughed as she saw Chelsea getting upset.
***
Sssssssssssssss-! Squeak-
Carl, who had washed his face in the sink, turned off the water and laughed self-deprecatingly.
“What’s wrong, Carl? “You can just skip it as usual.”
Carl, speaking to himself in the mirror, took a deep breath.
“I guess I still have regrets. you dude It’s still great enough. Originally, it wasn’t strange if I failed the midterm exam in the first semester of my freshman year, but I can finish it by my second year, right? Let’s understand the topic. huh? “Let’s not be foolish and regret it for no reason.”
It was time for Carl to shake off his hands, reminding himself.
“that’s interesting.”
“Whoa?!”
Carl was startled by the voice that came from behind without even pretending to know him.
“Si, God?!”
“It’s really strange.”
Lian, who was holding a bag of snacks sold on the street in her hand, crunched on the snacks inside, looked up at Karl, and said.
“You may be the first student in the history of Lumern Academy who does not resemble Lumern in the slightest, Carl Thomas.”
“haha.”
Carl smiled shyly.
Looking at the knife, Lian said as he licked the crumbs from his palm with his tongue.
“But it’s really strange.”
Lian grinned.
When Karl saw those eyes, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
It was literally the eyes of the Absolute looking down from a distant place.
“You have something Rumern didn’t have.”
“yes?”
“That’s two things too.”
