That evening.
While the Lumern students were having dinner at their dorm, a visitor came.
“Chelsea! “How can you eat something like this!”
“Are you dissatisfied with my cooking?”
“cooking? Is this cooking? “Can you please stop insulting the dish?”
“what? “You died today!”
“Hey! Jump out! “He uses magic!”
“I’m going to tell everything to Professor Halind!”
“Class monitor! Can’t you just take charge of meals? “Of all of us, your cooking was the most delicious!”
“I was sneaking some party food from Seilun yesterday.”
Wait at the accommodation before opening your visit! A commotion was heard.
As the theme of this school trip was self-sufficiency, the students were responsible for preparing each meal.
Of course, since everyone grew up well or lived a life that had nothing to do with cooking, it was impossible to cook properly.
Thanks to this, every meal time in Lumern was a series of commotion.
Hearing the obscene sounds of the students in charge, Sena held her face and turned her head, and Halind sighed deeply.
“haha! “The students are full of energy!”
Only Rune smiled kindly.
“Okay, I’ll go in first and calm you down.”
Sena smiled awkwardly and hurried inside.
After a while, as it became quiet, Sena opened the door.
The entire class was eating quietly and elegantly, as if it had never been so.
“Nice to meet you all.”
“Hello, Chairman Rune!”
The Class 5 students greeted each other politely.
Of course, I didn’t forget to keep an eye on Halind.
“haha. I don’t know if this is what interrupted my meal. “The reason I came to you like this is because I have an announcement.”
“An announcement?”
Carl gave a puzzled look.
“That’s right. You guys know it too. “The fact is that many undead, including Death Knights, have appeared in the Fairy Forest.”
Everyone had serious expressions upon hearing those words.
“So there was a meeting in the council. “I came to inform you of the results of the meeting.”
The Class 5 students looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
“The Great Council of El Salvecia is formally proposing this investigation request to Seilun and Rumern. “Please join forces with Seirun and investigate the abnormal situation in the Fairy Forest.”
Everyone looked surprised when they heard that.
“Of course, it’s dangerous for you people who still lack experience. So I placed a request in Seilun. “You will be teamed up with Seilun’s seniors to investigate an abnormal situation.”
“Does that mean it’s an official request?”
“I see.”
Formal request.
Rumern first-year students begin request practice in the second semester and take on formal requests from the second year.
The process has been accelerated by a year.
“It is a formal request, but keep in mind that it is only an extension of the request practice. If a situation arises that you cannot handle, the request will be stopped immediately. Also, since the horse is a formal request, it is the same as an unofficial request, so of course there is no reward for the request.”
A few students looked disappointed at those words, but that atmosphere soon disappeared.
An official request!
I felt like I was being recognized as a student of Rumern.
“Is the Chairman of the Council personally here to make a request?”
When Leo asked with a puzzled look, Rune shook his head.
“no. “Actually, it’s because of you that I came, Leo.”
“Me?”
“okay. “This child said he wanted to meet you.”
Rune smiled and sent Eiran, who was behind him, forward.
“cute!”
“Class monitor! “How do you know him?”
The Class 5 students were amazed at Eiran’s awkward appearance.
Leo calmly answered Illyana’s question.
“I am Rune’s granddaughter.”
“Oh oh.”
“Leo, Leo. How have you been? that… … Ha, he asked me to come over and have fun, so I was rude like this… … .”
“Come on.”
“You seem to be close with Leo? hi. My name is Illyana. Did you have a dinner? “Do you want to eat together?”
“hey. Illyana. “You don’t give something like this to a customer.”
“ah. right. Sorry.”
Illyana and Carl cleaned up all the food on the table.
Chelsea opened her eyes and strangled Carl and Illyana.
Eiran was very embarrassed by that sight.
The atmosphere was completely different from Seilun.
“Did you eat?”
“Oh, I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Then do you want to eat? “The kids are picky eaters, so no matter what they say, it’s not to the point where they can’t eat it.”
“hey! Leo! Don’t feed me that! “The school’s image is getting worse!”
“die!”
“Oops! surrender! surrender!”
Chelsea began to persistently strangle Carl.
“Then consider the favor.”
Eiran carefully dipped the meat dish with a fork and ate it.
Eiran, who was chewing his food while moving his small mouth, spoke.
“It’s food that feels like it’s made with sincerity.”
“Right? Right? Is it worth eating? “Are they strange?”
Chelsea, who was strangling Carl, came running with sparkling eyes.
Eiran trembled as he saw Chelsea suddenly approaching him and behaving warmly to him.
At that time, Rune approached and smiled kindly.
“Our Eiran is also a Seilun student.”
“Really?”
“But you weren’t there during class during the day?”
“Why weren’t you there?”
“I wasn’t able to talk properly with the Seilun kids earlier because of studying, but I want to take this opportunity to talk in detail!”
My interest in Eiran increased even more when I heard that he was a Seilun student.
Eiran’s face turned white as he looked at the students flocking around him.
“Hey, me! Excuse me for a moment… … !”
Eiran got up from his seat and quickly ran to the second floor to avoid people.
The Class 5 students were embarrassed at the sight, and Rune’s face hardened.
“Aren’t you following me?”
Rune spoke cautiously in response to Leo’s question.
“Leo. “Could you please go instead?”
“Me?”
“It was thanks to you that my granddaughter, who never left her room, found the courage to come out.”
How surprised was your granddaughter, who had been confined to her room, when she came to visit you today?
“I just vaguely thought that I wanted to see that child hanging out with other kids his age, but I guess I didn’t fully understand that child’s feelings.”
Halind looked at Leo and nodded at Rune’s words.
Leo followed Eiran up to the second floor.
Then, realizing that the terrace door at the end of the second floor hallway was open, I went out.
Eiran was squatting in the corner of the terrace.
Then I made eye contact with Leo and spoke in a panic.
“Leo, Leo. “I’m sorry for showing you such a pathetic side!”
Leo, who was staring at Eiran who was apologizing, remembered an elf girl.
‘Berkiah.’
Even though thousands of years have passed, traces of their ancestors remain in Eiran.
And Berkia was also as dark as when she first met Eiran.
‘For some reason, it reminds me of Berkia and I can’t leave it alone.’
Laughing bitterly, Leo covered Eiran with his coat.
“Hey, if you do this, Leo won’t be cold…” … .”
“Don’t worry about me.”
Ignoring the embarrassed Eiran, Leo put his hands in his pockets and leaned back next to Eiran.
“So, why did you run away from Seirun?”
“At first, I wanted to attend Seirun. “Because I admired heroes.”
Eiran said, hugging his knees.
When I first entered the school, I was told that Eiran was in the intermediate class.
Although he was talented and worked hard, Eiran did not put everything he had into honing his swordsmanship and magic.
Eiran enjoyed reading stories of heroism much more than just fighting.
Eiran, who likes heroes, was satisfied just by being in the same space as the hero candidates.
However, Eiran, who was born into the most prestigious elf family but had no goals and tried to settle for the present, was enough to become an object of ridicule.
The introverted girl had a hard time with the ridicule.
“When I felt that life in Seilun was difficult, I met someone like the sun.”
“Who is that?”
“Miss Runia.”
Eiran made a bright expression.
“Miss Runia is such an amazing person! There’s nothing you can’t do! Always confident! Friendly to everyone! “He is literally like a hero!”
Eiran’s face shone brightly as if he was telling a heroic story.
In a sense, Runia was the closest person to a hero among the first people Eiran met.
The sight of Runia like that was enough to capture the heart of a girl who loved heroic stories.
“That’s why I started admiring Miss Runia. Because he is a great person, different from me… … “I thought I wanted to chase after Miss Runia.”
A small goal of wanting to watch a great person up close.
Once my goal was set, my talent blossomed and I quickly moved up from the intermediate level to the advanced level.
“When I moved up to Advanced Class 1, Miss Runia treated me very kindly. however… … “At some point, I became afraid of Miss Runia.”
“why?”
“I think I made a big mistake during the duel evaluation and they started to hate me from then on.”
Leo gave a strange look.
‘I don’t think he would do something that would make others hate him, given his personality… … Runia isn’t the type to dislike others over trivial things… … ‘Maybe I should ask this?’
As he got further away from the dream he was aiming for, what remained was the envy and jealousy of those he had overtaken.
When Eiran, who they thought was clearly below them, grew to the point where they could not even be compared to them, jealousy and checks began.
‘In the end, did it become a trauma that made you fear your peers?’
A personality like Leo could be rather cynical, but Eiran was definitely too soft.
“For someone who is afraid of their peers, I think they are very comfortable with me.”
“That’s right, Leo feels similar to my grandfather!”
“grandfather?”
Eiran, who was smiling brightly, was momentarily embarrassed.
“Oh, no! So it’s not that I’m old! that! Oh, there is an adult charm… … “What can I say!”
Eiran, who was talking gibberish, buried his face in his knees as if he was embarrassed.
Leo, who was laughing at the sight, asked.
“Is it because you thought that the reason you left Seirun was that you, unlike others, did not aim to be a hero and were nothing but an obstacle to others?”
“… … yes.”
‘That’s nice.’
The girl lacked the aspirations she should have as a hero.
‘If you’ve completely given up, I can’t do anything for you.’
Leo said, remembering Seirun’s clean school uniform in Eiran’s room.
“Do you like Berkia stories?”
It was a sudden question, but Eiran answered vigorously.
“yes! It’s the story of our ancestors! “I love it as much as the stories of great heroes!”
“Then you understand. “Why Berkia was able to become a great hero.”
“yes?”
“Berkia was able to become a hero because she admired the great heroes who were her teachers and followed in their footsteps, right?”
“… … !”
Not only those with big dreams are fit to be heroes.
‘If you think about it that way, there isn’t a single one of us worthy of being a hero except Lishinas. no. ‘Me, Luna, and Dweno are definitely eliminated.’
Leo said, thinking of his friends.
“Why do you care so much about what other people think? “You just have to follow the path you want to take.”
Eiran’s eyes widened.
Leo, who saw those eyes, burst into laughter.
‘He’s the same as his ancestor, just different in personality.’
Envious eyes.
Even though he seemed ticked on the outside, Berkia also looked at Kyle with these eyes.
When Leo held out his hand, Eiran hesitated and took his hand.
“Let’s go down, the Lumern kids are all nice-natured.”
The Class 5 students welcomed Eiran, who was led down to the first floor by the hand of Leo, who was ahead of him.
“oh! “Here we come again!”
“I’m sorry for burdening you.”
“No, maybe he ran away after eating Chelsea’s food.”
“These!”
Chelsea turned on the double wick, but held back for fear of Eiran getting scared again.
Eiran, who was very embarrassed by the unfamiliar atmosphere, soon began to laugh without even realizing it.
Soon, I naturally started hanging out with boys and girls my age.
Rune looked thrilled.
“I can’t believe my granddaughter gets along so well with her peers!”
“I heard that student Eiran is one of the top five most powerful first-year students in Seirun. Why did she leave school?”
“Not long ago, I thought it was because of a student I couldn’t get over, but that wasn’t the case. “The atmosphere at Seilun’s school was problematic.”
“School atmosphere?”
“As you know, Seilun has many benefits for advanced students. “Students with low grades are naturally eliminated.”
“The same goes for Rumern.”
“okay. Given the structure of the school, that can’t be helped. But Seirun has a much stronger tendency to do so.”
Since the class itself was graded, it had to be that way.
“I guess that was a burden for my granddaughter.”
Rune smiled bitterly.
“I attended Seirun and worked as a teacher in Seirun, so I never thought that was a problem. “But Seirun’s system didn’t fit my granddaughter.”
Rune looked at Leo.
‘I didn’t understand Eiran’s scared mind. In that sense, I met Leo… … What a blessing.’
Rune wiped away tears as she felt grateful to the human boy who gave her granddaughter courage.
Halind said while looking at those runes.
“You have to overcome it to move up. “Airan student has the skills, so he will be able to overcome it.”
“okay. But I just thought of a better way.”
“What method?”
“Professor Halind.”
“yes. “Mr. President.”
When Rune wiped away her tears and looked serious, Halind also became serious.
“Does Rumern accept transfer students?”
Halind sighed deeply.
‘Earlier, he told me to send him away, but this time he said he would come. Why are there so many elves inquiring about transferring schools?’
