Gooooooo-!
Flames gathered around the tip of the sword.
Leo’s flame burned even more fiercely.
Leo, engulfed in flames, charged.
‘Now!’
Before it came into range, Howl stabbed the spear.
Wedge-!
A huge green aura erupted from the tip of the spear.
The Auror stretched out like a living anaconda and aimed for Leo’s neck.
Leo tried to block Howl’s attack with his flame aura.
Woe!
At that moment, Howl’s aura changed its trajectory like a living snake.
‘I expected this much.’
Leo didn’t care and charged at the defenseless Howl.
Howl’s technique was very difficult to deal with when the distance was wide, but it had the disadvantage of becoming defenseless when the distance was shortened.
“You’re caught!”
Howl shouted in delight.
Keep going!
“… … !”
Howl’s aura continued to grow longer.
“Snake Prison!”
Sigh-!
Like a snake catching its prey, the aura coiled around Leo and tightened his grip on him in an instant.
Exclamations poured out here and there at the extremely delicate auror control.
Ain, who was watching the situation, curled the corners of his mouth.
‘Flame Aurors are capable of powerful attacks, but have the disadvantage of being weak on defense. It’s like a double-edged sword.’
Poison Auror also showed such tendencies.
That’s why it was naturally eaten by the flame aura.
‘I focused persistently on Auror control training and acquired skills that would definitely complement that weakness.’
Ain looked towards Leo, who was silent.
‘But Leo Plov couldn’t have charged in without thinking.’
‘How are you? Leo! I will defeat you with this! and… … .’
Howl turned his gaze towards Celia, who was looking surprised, and clenched his fists.
‘Celia! I will be recognized as being equal to you… … .’
“It’s a great technology, isn’t it? “But the ending is awkward.”
“what!”
Grumble! Pow-!
Howl’s aura surrounding Leo swelled and exploded, flying in all directions.
Gooooooooooo! Grumble!
The flame of the auror surrounding Leo burned fiercely.
Leo, who took a sword-wielding stance, looked directly at Howl, who was frozen.
“You can’t let down your guard until the flame goes out.”
“Tsk!”
Howl adjusted his grip on the spear.
Hold! pop-!
At that moment, fireworks exploded from Leo’s toes.
Auror Step.
Woe! Grumble!
The tip of Leo’s sword, which shot out as a bullet of flame, had already reached the end of Howl’s neck.
“… … Winner, Leo Plov.”
Ain declared calmly.
Wow!
Cheers poured out.
“and! and! Leo Oppa won!”
“… … Did you have that level of skill in real life?”
Chelsea was jumping up and down in her seat, and Taide was muttering in bewilderment.
The knife that was handing popcorn to the customer whizzed! Whick! They whistled and cheered.
“Who said that first year student would be weak in actual combat?”
“The song Howl was great, but the chemistry was so bad.”
“There is definitely a reason why these freshmen are receiving attention.”
The older students exclaimed in exclamation as they evaluated the two’s sparring.
When Leo withdrew his sword, Howl dropped his head and fell to his knees.
“It’s a complete defeat. It was an overwhelming skill gap. To let down my guard against someone as talented as you… … “It’s completely lame.”
“well. To be honest, I never expected you to have that level of skill.”
Even Leo’s auror control ability, which could not be achieved without great effort, was surprising.
“If your auror powers had been a little stronger, you might have suffocated and passed out. “I looked down on you too, so you’re both the same.”
Leo smiled and held out his hand.

“It was cool technology.”
Howl looked at Leo’s hand with a blank expression, grabbed it, and stood up.
Leo, who helped Howl up, tapped his shoulder and left the stadium.
‘Leo Plov… … After all, I’m not standing next to Celia for nothing.’
Howl muttered and trudged out of the stadium.
Class 1 knight studies students stood in front of Howl.
“Howl! “It was a waste!”
“Keuuuu! “It was a perfect opportunity to get revenge on cleaning the bathroom!”
“What on earth is that monster doing? “Practical combat is not a weakness at all!”
Class 1 students comforted Howl.
“Elegance! Howl student! It was a great match! If it weren’t for our compatibility, we could have destroyed someone like Leo Plov! So don’t be discouraged!”
“Professor Sedzen. Even if you are the student in charge, please refrain from making biased comments or actions.”
Looking at Professor Sedgen shouting loudly, Professor Ain said while pressing his temple.
Howl scratched his head in embarrassment at the unexpected welcome.
Then, he noticed Celia approaching him and became very nervous.
Celia smiled brightly at Howl.
“It was pretty good? “It was cool.”
“what? uh! eww! huh! huh!”
Howl blushed and answered awkwardly.
‘I heard Howl is more innocent than he looks.’
‘Celia seems surprisingly insensitive in that regard.’
‘But shouldn’t you realize it by now?’
It was when the first class students smiled delicately.
“Leo, you worked hard. “When did you start training as an Auror like that?”
Celia asked, approaching Leo.
Howl clenched his fist.
‘Leo Plov! I’ll make you my new target!’
This persistent boy was determined to catch up with Leo.
The students in Class 1 clicked their tongues and ate popcorn while watching Howl strengthen his will.
Leo, who completely won his first sparring match, sat to one side and watched the remaining sparring.
“Class 5 Illyana Raden, forward.”
“Ugh~cha! Who are you! “My opponent!”
“Class 10 Chen Xia, forward.”
“omg!”
Illyana, who was excited, was surprised when she ended up with Chen Xia.
“Please take care of me.”
“Yes, please take care of me.”
Chen Xia and Illyana exchanged greetings.
‘I’ve grown a lot too! ‘It’s worth a try even if you’re at the top of your class!’
An aura flickered from Illyana’s body as she held the rapier tightly.
Sigh!
Chen Xia, a martial artist, had no weapons.
Instead, a blue aura flickered on his fingertips and water droplets began to form.
Her Auror trait is water.
The water droplets that formed on my fingertips were woven like threads and soon created silky waves.
As Chen Xia’s hands moved as if dancing, waves formed gracefully at her fingertips.
“Huh!”
Illyana took a deep breath and aimed her rapier at Chen Xia.
“Ha!”
The Auror pushed Illyana’s body away as if it were exploding.
Leo sighed at the furious charge at incredible speed.
“That idiot.”
Pow-!
“Kkuek!”
Uddangtangtang! Roll, roll, roll!
Illyana’s powerful charge was futilely blocked by Chen Xia, and the attack was reflected.
Illyana’s eyes were wide as she collapsed on the floor miserably.
“Chen Xia, victory.”
It was a match where overwhelming power stood out.
However, since this test was quite unfavorable for Illyana, a magic swordsman, no one had high expectations.
Chen Xia, putting her hands together, bowed politely and left the sparring hall.
Illyana shouted, raising her clenched fist to the sky.
“Well, the momentum against Chen Xia was good though! “It didn’t work out!”
“It’s embarrassing, so will you be quiet?”
“Okay, better pretend to faint. please.”
As the class 5 knight department students spoke coldly, Illyana burst into tears.
“Class monitor! “The kids are embarrassed to see me!”
Leo said while looking at Illyana who was complaining.
“Your impatient personality is the problem. “You know Chen Xia’s skills well, right?”
“I know! That’s not why I charged in with such force! “No matter what I do, I’m not confident I can break through with sword skills alone, so I need to at least show my strength!”
“I’m proud.”
Leo clicked his tongue as he watched Illyana proudly shouting with her arms crossed.
Illyana was also skilled enough that it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was at the top of her entire grade.
‘The opponent was too bad. I don’t know if I could even use magic, but this is a knighthood test. Still, if I had been careful, I wouldn’t have lost this far.’
Leo, who was shaking his head, made eye contact with Chen Xia, who was sitting in class 10.
Leo also waved to Chen Xia, who smiled and waved.
‘I thought about it before, but Chen Xia has the best balance among the first-year knight students.’
In the case of Celia and Duran, the Auror characteristics themselves are specialized in attack power.
On the contrary, Chen Xia’s auror characteristic, water, was well-focused on offense and defense.
Leo thought about Chen Xia’s skills and observed the sparring of other classmates.
The improvement in the skills of students who were in the lower ranks until admission was noticeable.
Among them, there was a case where he defeated a student whose skills were far superior to his own.
Even amidst the joys and sorrows, the top candidates in the entrance exam showed that they are of a different class.
Celia, who quickly overpowered her opponent, approached Leo while elegantly brushing her hair.
“how is it?”
“You’ve grown.”
“of course.”
Celia narrowed her eyes.
“Leo, I will accept the position of class representative in this exam.”
Leo grinned as he watched Celia confidently declare.
“Take as much as you want. “If you can take it.”
Celia smiled brightly at those words and then returned to class 1.
Illyana, who was watching from the side, said.
“It’s popular.”
“I envy you?”
“No, I told Nella, but I don’t want that kind of popularity.”
***
Midterm exam period.
After the linguistics class, which was the last written exam, the 5th class students roared! They flocked to Chelsea.
“hey! hey! Chelsea! “Show me the answer sheet!”
“I’ll watch it first!”
“knife! Aren’t your grades going to be rock bottom anyway? So see you later!”
“Where can you find something like that!”
The competition to see Chelsea’s answer sheet first, which had the highest written test score in class 5, was fiercer than expected.
Chelsea waved her test paper as she looked at her classmates crowded in front of her.
“Who should I show it to first?”
“Chelsea! “Show me first!”
“sister! “Me first!”
“You look beautiful today, sister!”
Class 5, clinging to Chelsea, the youngest in the class.
“Ho ho ho.”
Looking at her classmates like that, Chelsea covered her mouth with a smug look and burst into laughter.
“The test is already over anyway, so will my score change because of something like that?”
Leo, who was sitting by the window in the back of the class, spoke while resting his chin, and Nella smiled languidly.
“Hehe. Still, it’s human nature to want to know your test score earlier, right?”
At those words, Leo shook his head and put the writing utensil in his bag.
“For me, the only test left is a combined practical test for Heroism and Combat, but Leo, you also have Magic and Summoning left?”
In the chivalric sparring exam, Leo passed by winning all five matches.
The strongest one in the five sparring matches was Howl on the first day.
In addition to Leo, Celia, Chen Xia, and Duran also won all five matches.
In Nella’s case, there was one loss.
“If only I hadn’t met that unlucky Duran, Nella would have been able to succeed!”
Chelsea said as she came into Nella’s arms after handing out exam papers to her classmates.
Nella, who was one of the strong candidates for victory, suffered one more loss when she met Duran in the third sparring match.
“We did well against Duran, so I’m satisfied.”
Nella smiled as she patted Chelsea’s head.
“Anyway, Leo, how is your practical summoning practice going?”
“You’re doing well.”
“You rarely come to practice separately, right?”
Taide, a summons major, asked with a puzzled look.
The Summoning Practical Exam has been one of the biggest events of the first semester of the first year of Rumern for generations.
Leo laughed at Tade’s question.
“I’m practicing hard in places you can’t see.”
“As expected, it’s Leo oppa. You’re full of confidence, right? So what is your expected goal?”
Looking at Chelsea asking with shining eyes, Leo said as if it was obvious.
“First place.”
