“who are you?”
“I’m Elena.”
“Senior Elena? “Are you sure?”
Chloe opened her eyes wide.
“huh.”
“I’m enjoying the magic papers you wrote!”
“huh?”
“I especially enjoyed reading the part about the effect of mana vibrations in the atmosphere on magic!”
“Did you understand that difficult content?”
“yes!”
“Oh my god, such a cute junior came in?”
Elena, whose body was floating with magic, held Chloe’s cheeks with both hands and brought her face closer.
Elena’s eyes widened as she looked at Chloe who was slightly embarrassed.
Chloe felt a little goosebumps from that gaze.
“What’s going on here, Elena?”
“Uncle!”
Elena flew to Alby.
“I came after hearing that my uncle was holding a class! “I wonder if I’ll listen!”
“I’m not teaching any special classes. I just give advice to first year students. And you can’t take first-year classes. Take third grade classes.”
“Such a boring class. “It’s not worth listening to.”
Elena said with a snort.
“Then go and don’t disturb the class.”
Elena narrowed her eyes at those words.
And it was time to leave, muttering in a low voice, ‘It’s not fun.’
“senior.”
“Why are you calling me, Leo?”
“I want to ask you something. Can I go to the mansion after school?”
“ask?”
Elena tilted her head, crossed her arms, and made a sour expression.
“Why should I do you a favor? “You rejected my request earlier, right?”
“Was that a request?”
“of course.”
Elena, who was sitting with her legs crossed in the air, smiled and floated into the air.
“I’m going to leave before the other professors come and nag me.”
Elena waved her hand politely and flew away somewhere.
Chloe looked at this with an expression of disbelief.
As a model student, it was a culture shock to skip class and go out to play.
“Can I do that?”
“No. “There are more than one or two professors who are preparing.”
“But why don’t you say something? “You’re my nephew.”
“It’s that child’s choice, so I have no reason to say anything. She is not a child who will listen to what she says. “Don’t worry about it, just practice.”
After saying that, Albi returned to his original position.
Leo looked in the direction where Elena had disappeared.
Elena’s permission was required to enter the forbidden library.
‘If you look at the atmosphere, he seems very self-indulgent.’
As of now, it was clear that even if I showed him Albee’s letter of recommendation, he wouldn’t be very interested.
‘For now, let’s focus on the departmental competition.’
Now was the time to focus on the department event at hand.
***
Two weeks had passed since the academy was shut down.
Illyana, who was studying on her own in the classroom during public lecture, grumbled.
“How can there not be refreshments during a study session like this? Does this make sense?”
Since most of the students in Lumern were nobles or upper class students, they studied with refreshments during study time.
Of course, after the lockdown, we couldn’t even find snack crumbs, let alone refreshments.
“Why do I need cookies and tea to study?”
“Class monitor! “Studying requires vitality!”
“Anyway, where is the knife?”
That was when Nella made a puzzled expression.
Grumble-
The classroom door opened and Carl came pushing a refreshment cart.
Chelsea and Illyana jumped up from their seats.
“knife! “What is that!”
Looking at the two female students with shining eyes, Karl greeted them gracefully, like an excellent butler.
“Even though I couldn’t get any cake or cookies.”
Dalkak-
“Oh oh!”
When I opened the cover of the cart, a teapot and teacups were set up.

“Ladies, I cooked it with care.”
“Oh oh! black tea!”
“Black tea is enough!”
I thought this was enough because finding tea leaves is like picking stars from the sky.
Squeak!
A clear liquid was poured into the teacup.
“It’s plain water.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Phew! Puhahahahahahaha! Look at that expression! Were you fooled? I was deceived… … Huh?”
Chelsea’s face turned ugly as she saw Carl making fun of her, and she dropped a dropkick to the stomach.
And he kicked the sword that had fallen along with Illyana.
“Now, wait! I’m a boner… … Argh! sorry! Sorry!”
Karl’s desperate screams passed by.
“I have some big news.”
“What?”
“The location for this department competition has been decided!”
“what? “Where are you?”
Class 5 students came rushing in.
Ahem! Carl cleared his throat and spoke in a serious voice.
“With Naig.”
“With Nag?”
“Isn’t that a no-go area?”
With Nag.
It was a city located in the southeastern part of the continent, but it was famous for being destroyed overnight due to a runaway hero dungeon.
The Neigrang disaster, which covered up the Hero Dungeon, was widely known throughout the continent as a disaster.
Afterwards, the dungeon was conquered, but due to the influence of the hero dungeon, it became a cursed land and humans could no longer live there.
“Is it okay to go to a place like that?”
The students swallowed their dry saliva.
“I heard that although it is a no-go area, it is not an extremely dangerous place.”
Nella nodded at Chelsea’s words.
“that’s right. “It’s true that it’s a dangerous place, but what about mid- to low-level monsters appearing and curses spreading everywhere?”
It was a huge threat to the general public, but for the hero cadets, it was a risk they could easily overcome.
Once the battlefield for the departmental competition was decided, the entire class 5 brought geography books and began to study.
Unlike the world of heroes, there were unpredictable threats, so students studied Neigrang more seriously than ever.
Leo also opened the geography book he received as a textbook and found a map of Neigran.
‘With Nag… … With Naig… … Here it is.’
Leo opened the book and paused.
‘Where?’
The place names Leo remembers and the place names from the time Kyle lived are different.
Considering the time between the two eras, it was natural.
However, I remembered what events had happened in the past in this area.
‘It’s the place where Lishinas and I defeated the corps commander for the first time.’
***
Time passed even as students’ dissatisfaction piled up due to the school lockdown.
In particular, first graders were having a hectic day.
Squeeze! Puzzle!
Duran saw the aura on his hand and clenched his fist.
Bababababababat-!
In response to Duran’s power, electric current flew out in all directions like an explosion.
“Wow, that’s amazing! Duran! “You’ve almost mastered the Breath of the Brave!”
Duran said irritably as a student from the Duran faction shouted in an excited voice.
“What do you mean by master? I can’t even write naturally yet, and… … !”
Kwasik-!
Duran broke the wooden sword he was holding in frustration.
“Compared to the sword attack that Leo Plov unleashed back then, it’s a poor level!”
“Of course, that’s true, but if Leo Plov attacks that much, he’ll also damage himself through recoil anyway, right?”
One female student said with her arms crossed.
“There are limits to such destructive methods. At best, it’s like a secret weapon to use in a crisis.”
Duran snorted at the words of the female student who analyzed Leo.
“This time, I will defeat Leo Plov and let you know who is truly number one. and… … .”
Duran’s eyes glanced around.
“We will also defeat Celia Gerdinger.”
Grumble-!
“It’s amazing Celia, you can control the Auror flame to this extent.”
Celia brushed her hair as her classmate spoke.
“This is basic.”
Celia, with a confident expression on her face, extinguished the flames.
What Celia has been focusing on in training for the past month is the delicate control of Aurors.
Celia and Duran, who had cleared the flames, made eye contact.
Celia made a sullen expression, pointed her finger at Duran, and pretended to slit his throat.
Duran, who was in tears, responded by dropping his thumb downwards.
Meanwhile, at the magic training center… … .
Whioooooo!
Chelsea looked at Abad with wide eyes.
‘Amazing, you’re my brother after all.’
The sight of him controlling the magic of the wind in such detail was jaw-dropping.
Thump-thump-!
When Abad released his magic, the rocks fluttering in the air fell to the ground.
“I can’t believe that this level of output can be controlled so delicately! “After all, you are my brother!”
Seeing Chelsea approaching with a bright smile, Abad wiped the sweat from his head and opened his mouth.
“Chelsea.”
“yes!”
“How does it compare to Leo?”
“… … !”
Chelsea remained silent in response to Abad’s question.
In Chelsea’s view, Abad had the advantage purely in terms of magical ability.
But when you look at it overall… … .
‘Who should I root for?’
Abad, whom I respect as a wizard.
Leo, whom I respect as a hero candidate.
Abad laughed as he looked at Chelsea in conflict.
“Leo has the upper hand.”
“Oh, brother! So. I… … that!”
“Not bad.”
“yes?”
“Having something to challenge yourself with.”
Chelsea was surprised to see Abad smiling brightly.
Meanwhile, Leo was sitting in the library with a pile of books related to Neigrang.
‘There are a total of five large lakes within Neigrang.’
As it was a big city, there were five large lakes.
“Which of these is Lake Erdiana?”
Leo scratched his head.
While the other students were busy preparing for the departmental competition, Leo was concentrating on other things.
It reminded me of something from a long time ago.
‘I don’t think it will remain until now as time passes by.’
Leo crossed his arms.
In the past, there was a spirit sleeping in a place called Lake Erdiana.
A spirit that I don’t even remember now.
However, the Great Spirit was praised as a powerful spirit until the Age of Calamity.
Lisinas’ lost pledge.
‘The Great Spirit of Radiance, Luminous.’
Leo closed the book and stood up.
‘I guess I have no choice but to go to all five places first.’
***
A large crowd of people had gathered at Erek, the grand parade ground in the center of Lumern Academy.
In addition to Lumern Academy students, many visitors gathered.
“Oh oh! Let’s see my daughter! “How was your school life?”
“I enjoyed!”
“Son! “You are the pride of your family!”
“I know!”
“Try to refrain from actions that will harm your family’s honor.”
“yes.”
Originally, only those who were permitted could enter Lumern Academy.
However, for today’s large-scale department event called the department competition, the families of the officials were allowed to visit.
Of course, it was also to ventilate public opinion about the academy’s lockdown over the past month.
Thanks to this, Lumern was experiencing an untimely festive atmosphere.
Of course, if there were a lot of outside guests, there were problems.
“Uh-huh! “I want to see where my son studies, but that’s not possible!”
“Due to security regulations, such as students’ research projects, outsiders are not permitted to enter. Please use only permitted locations. ”
“profit! “You know who I am!”
As Lumerne is normally off-limits to outsiders, there were quite a few people who were curious and tried to enter places other than those permitted.
Of course, such people were stopped by the teaching assistants, but there were many who were reckless.
Tower of Heroes, top.
Calian was looking down at Erek from a place with a panoramic view of the academy.
“I’m worried that if we receive a lot of outsiders like this at once, intruders might sneak in.”
As Professor Yura spoke with a worried face, Calian sighed deeply.
“Fortunately, the powerful deterrent has returned, so nothing like that will happen.”
Hearing Kalian’s words, Yura carefully looked at a woman with red hair who was sitting on the guest sofa and enjoying tea.
It was Phoenix Pirina.
‘I really want to talk about it!’
Yura, who faced the strongest illusion as an illusionist, was itching to talk to Pirina.
Unlike Leo’s Fiora and Ulta’s Aeria, that one is a complete adult.
It was the dream and legend of a magician who wielded absolute power.
‘I can’t hide this fact forever. We must make it known to the public through cooperation with Seirun.’
Calian’s eyes took on a serious glow.
‘To prevent the Tartarus bastards from running amok any longer.’
