Chapter 345

Step-step-step-step

Laura took a deep breath and moved quickly.

That morning.

She was on her way to the classroom after the faculty meeting.

At the meeting, Mr. Otrin, the homeroom teacher for the first-year Upper Class, had resigned due to health reasons.

Laura knew the real reason for Otrin’s resignation.

'He was defeated in a duel by Leo.'

It was unacceptable for a student to have beaten him.

Even worse, it was a blow to the Pureblood Association that now controlled Seiren, having lost to a Lumene student in a battle using only the Sorcery of the Stars.

As a result, Otrin was expelled from his position as homeroom teacher.

Seiren’s first-year’s Upper Class 1.

This class was meant to produce the most promising hero candidates of all.

Being their homeroom teacher was a significant privilege reserved for the most distinguished Seiren teachers.

As soon as the news of Otrin’s resignation spread, all the teachers at the faculty meeting reacted eagerly.

Laura sighed deeply.

‘If the homeroom teacher suddenly changes, it won't be good for the students, especially with midterms approaching.’

This was her main concern.

While it was a prime career opportunity for teachers, students would inevitably be confused by such a sudden change.

‘Why couldn’t he at least just get through the exams first!’

The midterms were just around the corner.

The written test had a set scope.

However, the details of the practical exam had been kept secret until today.

The contents of the practical test were announced at the faculty meeting.

Laura arrived in the Lower Class with the intention of informing her students promptly.

‘The first period is Aura Studies.’

Of course, she expected the students to be training individually, so she was surprised to find the entire class assembled inside.

Creaaaak—!

Laura opened the door and widened her eyes.

All the students of the Lower Class were seated.

"Hello, Miss Laura!"

The students greeted her with bright voices.

"Good morning to you all, but… this is supposed to be Aura Studies."

Despite being typically used for individual study, the classroom was full.

Laura was taken aback.

Leo answered her question.

"We were self-studying."

"Self-studying?"

"Yes, they wanted to ask about the duel with Mr. Otrin."

Leo glanced around the classroom.

Not only the knight students but also the summoning students were gazing at the blackboard with eager eyes.

They were all motivated, as if Laura were giving a lecture on the Sorcery of the Stars.

"We were discussing how knights and summoners should strategize against powerful sorcerers."

It was a lecture Laura couldn’t have ever properly given.

"Thank you, Lyle."

Leo smiled at Laura's words and returned to his seat.

Laura, standing in front of the classroom, cleared her throat.

"Everyone, the midterm practical exam assignments were decided at today’s faculty meeting."

The entire Lower Class grew tense at her announcement.

The midterm practical exam was the most crucial test of all.

Laura addressed the nervous students.

"The exam will focus on monster subjugation."

"Monster subjugation?"

The students’ eyes widened.

"Yes. The practical test is to work together to subdue powerful monsters. You’ll be ranked based on how quickly you can do so, maximizing strategy, tactics, and teamwork."

Anri raised her hand.

"Miss Laura, I have a question!"

"Yes, Anri."

"That’s not all there is to the assignment, right?"

Laura nodded.

"No, attacks must be made using only the Sorcery of the Stars."

A lamenting sigh spread among the Lower Class students.

Laura reassured them.

"Don't worry too much. You’re prepared for this. I see it as a great opportunity."

Laura spoke with conviction.

"This is a chance to prove you all in the Lower Class are more than deserving of your place here."

"But I don’t quite understand."

Anri looked slightly puzzled, asking with a hint of confusion, "Why do we need Aura studies classes if the test only requires the use of the Sorcery of the Stars?"

They were gathered in the auditorium, usually used for training by the Lower Class students.

All the knight and summoning students were present.

Leo answered Anri’s question.

"Are you planning to be a sorcerer for the rest of your life?"

"Not really, but…"

"Then you need to be committed to developing your main skills."

Leo looked at the summoning students.

"The same applies to you all."

Verus, the leader of Leo’s Lower Class summoning students, raised his hand.

"Leo, I understand your point, but will your training also benefit the summoners?"

The summoning students nodded at Verus’ question.

Leo replied, "The sorcery I will teach you will help you all."

"What kind of sorcery?"

"Reinforcement sorcery."

Anri tilted her head.

"Reinforcement sorcery? The only reinforcement sorcery known is from the most prestigious families. How can you teach us reinforcement sorcery without supply sorcery?"

Reinforcement sorcery.

A type of buff sorcery.

It was inspired by the Fairy’s protection sorcery, which Luna used in close combat.

Luna had occasionally used powerful sorcery in large-scale battles on the front lines.

However, the only remnants of such sorcery were family lines passed down through blood relatives.

There was no basic reinforcement sorcery available for anyone to use.

"You can do that, though."

All the students looked surprised at Leo’s answer.

"Not only can it strengthen your bodies, but it can also enhance your recovery and mental fortitude."

Leo went to one of the blackboards and wrote down the formula for the sorcery.

It wasn’t the original sorcery Luna used, but a modern reinterpretation with improvements for today’s elves by Leo.

'Well, it’s less powerful than the original, but still a strong spell.'

"Woooooah!"

"Awesome!"

The Lower Class students began writing down the sorcery’s formulas in their notebooks.

Anri approached.

"Can you really share this with us?"

For a sorcerer, having knowledge of a unique system of sorcery was immensely valuable.

Especially reinforcement sorcery, which apparently, anyone could use if they only knew the formula.

Anri felt embarrassed to be on the receiving end of such valuable sorcery right off the bat.

Leo replied, "If I were you, I’d be furious."

"Furious at who?"

"Your seniors."

If she could have only seen how the Lower Class students were deprived of such opportunities, Luna would have been outraged.

'Maybe she would have smashed the heads of those who did this.'

Leo smiled at Anri.

"Focus on your work and nothing else. That’s all I ask."

Anri’s eyes widened at Leo’s words, and she blushed slightly.

‘He’s in the same grade as us, but he seems so mature for a first year.’

Anri took out her notebook and copied the sorcery formula from the blackboard.

"Guys! Let’s work hard! We’re going to show everyone at Seiren we can do well!"

Anri, the class president, encouraged her peers.

"Yeah!"

"Let’s do our best!"

The students cheered.

"Hmm, they’re getting loud in there."

At that moment, a group of students walking in the hallway outside the auditorium laughed.

"It seems like one of the babies got lucky against Mr. Otrin."

"What’s the point of cheering so loudly?"

Students from the Upper Class 1 laughed.

Seeing this, Gareth, the new homeroom teacher leading the first class of the year, said, "Those who aren’t chosen sometimes delude themselves into thinking they can beat the chosen ones with hard work." Gareth smiled. "You all just need to show them how pointless that illusion is."

The Upper Class 1 students looked triumphant at Gareth’s words.

Eclair slightly opened the auditorium door and saw the friendly atmosphere of the Lower Class.

It was a stark contrast to the Upper Class 1’s atmosphere, where students competed with each other, even going out of their way to undermine their peers’ efforts.

The Lower Class’ camaraderie reminded Eclair of her school days before coming to Seiren.

"Eclair."

"Y-yes?!"

"What are you looking at?"

Gareth gave Eclair a cold look.

"Eclair, your position as a grade representative is at stake with these midterm results. You should be more nervous."

"Y-yes…."

Eclair, having been called out by Gareth, drooped her ears.

The Upper Class 1 students giggled at Eclair.

Then they sent her a hostile glance.

'Leah doesn’t know it, but she’s way stronger than Eclair.’

‘After this midterm, I’ll be the grade representative at this rate.’

Eclair shrank her neck even more under her classmates’ gaze.

Thump!

At that moment, another of the first-year representatives, Elric, approached and slapped Eclair on the back.

"Don’t mind them."

"O-okay, I won’t."

Eclair smiled brightly, glancing at the Lower Class through the auditorium door as they all moved on.

"Now, everyone, get ready. I’ll give you a lesson you’ll never forget."

'I’m different from that useless Otrin. I’ll prove I’m the right teacher for Upper Class 1.'

He had originally been in charge of Upper Class 2.

‘Even managing the second best wasn’t enough for me.’

Gareth smiled triumphantly.

"What’s Leo Plov doing?"

"He’s with the Lower Class students."

"Hmm. That’s perfect."

Lehagen snorted.

"I hope he can learn a bit about Seiren’s educational values."

"Do you think that’s possible?"

Orlen’s smile faded.

"By the way, Mr. Lehagen, about Seiren’s Hero Records… are you sure you want to incinerate them?"

Lehagen’s expression turned cold as he looked at Orlen, who asked cautiously, "Do you think that makes sense?"

Orlen flinched at the response.

"I don’t know why Seiren left such a letter. But all we great Elves have an obligation to disclose her Hero Records to the world, even if it means violating her final wish,” Lehagen said from his seat.

Lehagen gazed down at the panoramic view of Seiren.

"There will come a time when the Poet of the Stars, Luna, goes beyond the Hero Records and descends to the earth."

Lehagen’s eyes flashed.

"Is there a reason why Seiren cannot? Is there something preventing her from returning to Earth as well?"

"No, there isn’t."

"Exactly! That’s why we have a duty to keep Seiren’s Hero Records and pass them on to future generations."

Lehagen, with a triumphant smile, continued.

"If we reveal Seiren’s Hero Records, it will unite our entire species. Then the Tingel family will have no choice but to help us conquer her Hero’s World."

Thump-thump-thump-thump—!

Lehagen stood in front of the Seiren Hero Records.

"I’ll present them at the upcoming conference, so be prepared."

"I understand, Mr. Lehagen."
