    Leo and Chen Xia headed straight to the club building.

    “Now that I think about it didn’t Master Leo say he was starting a hero research club?”

    Leo made a sour expression as he looked at Chen Xia who was tilting her head while biting her index finger as if something suddenly occurred to her.

    “I did. “I became the student council president before I made it.”

    “That’s a shame. “I was thinking about joining the club that Leo started.”

    “I guess you’re interested in heroes?”

    “Is there anyone who doesn’t like hero stories?”

    It was just as Chen Xia said.

    As it is called the age of heroes many people envy heroes.

    To that extent heroic stories are also an object of envy.

    If you ask any Lumerun student they will all have a favorite hero story.

    “okay?”

    “yes.”

    Chen Xia nodded with a faint smile and said.

    “It’s cool.”

    Leo tilted his head as she muttered something that seemed to be looking at a distant vision.

    “You talk as if you can’t be.”

    Chen Xia opened her eyes and looked at Leo.

    “Didn’t you enter Rumern because you dreamed of becoming a hero?”

    Chen Xia burst into laughter without realizing it looking at the back of Leo walking away while speaking in passing.

    “Do you know that Master Leo is really like an old man sometimes?”

    “okay?”

    “Look. “You don’t even deny it.”

    Chen Xia came to Leo’s side and leaned his upper body forward to look up at Leo.

    “Has he really gotten younger?”

    ‘It’s like being reborn.’

    Leo chuckled thinking it was strangely sharp as expected.

    Meanwhile the two people who arrived at the club building immediately started working on the student council.

    “Where should I start?”

    “hmm. “The horticulture department is nearby. Shall we go there from there?”

    “Let’s do that.”

    Leo nodded and headed to where the horticulture department was located with Chen Xia.

    Leo who saw the area around the horticulture department looked dumbfounded.

    ‘This is almost a jungle right?’

    Now summer is over and fall is approaching.

    Students were also wearing spring and autumn clothes and the area around the horticulture department was creating a muggy climate due to magic.

    When I entered the horticulture department which was not strange even if it was a small jungle I saw numerous plants.

    Leo’s face changed strangely when he saw that.

    “There are also phantom-type man-eating plants mixed in?”

    “yes. It’s Rumern’s horticulture department. “You can’t raise something ordinary right?”

    Leo said looking at Chen Xia who shrugged her shoulders.

    “I understand that the art and music departments are carrying out fairly normal activities.”

    “Yes of course. However there are quite a few dangerous things among the Lumerun club activities.”

    Chen Xia a student council officer had a good understanding of what was going on in the entire school.

    “And there are also these ordinary fruit trees.”

    Chen Xia passes by and reaches out to pick an apple and eat it.

    Leo looked at the tree she reached for.

    The tree contained a variety of fruits other than apples.

    ‘At this level he’s almost a chimera.’

    It was clear that the horticultural department had considerable expertise in magical engineering.

    Leo and Chen Xia headed toward the club room.

    Then several of the large flower buds opened their mouths and pounced on Leo and Chen Xia.

    A normal person would have been shocked but Leo and Chen Xia didn’t even bat an eye.

    It’s not because the two are specifically the best students in the first year.

    Only because they were so surprised did they not survive in Lumern.

    Leo avoided the attacking flower bud by grabbing its stem and subdued it and Chen Xia flicked his fingertips and fed the flower bud with chestnuts.

    grasp-!

    Of course the man-eating flower that hit my finger bounced right off.

    Beep-

    Then a sharp whistle was heard.

    Then the rampaging man-eating flowers soon quieted down.

    “Who came? “For some reason visitors don’t come to the horticulture department very often.”

    A female student emerged through the bushes.

    She wore a 4th year badge and the Department of Magic emblem and had light green hair and green eyes.

    Chen Xia said to her.

    “I’m from the student council.”

    “huh? You are Chen Xia right? Are you here because of the match against Luce? And… Leo Plov?”

    The 4th year horticulture club was shocked when he saw Leo.

    “I came to inspect….”

    “oh my! Student president! “What brings you to such a shabby place?”

    The 4th grader didn’t care at all that Leo was a 1st grader and ran at a breakneck speed and rubbed his hands.

    “You had a hard time because of the hot temperature right? If you’re going to visit you should have told me you’d be visiting a long time ago! now! in!”

    Her attitude was so polite that I wondered if this was the attitude of a fourth grader towards a first grader.

    ‘It’s definitely sensitive because it takes a lot of budget.’

    Club managers are not just seniors.

    Lumern’s club activities are more in-depth than just club activities so they are often of great help even after graduating and going out into society.

    In related fields research beyond the club level is also frequently conducted.

    And the most important thing in research is cost.

    As a result the club leaders were always hungry for research funds so that they could freely conduct the research they wanted.

    ‘First grade? What is that? The student council president! ‘Give me money!’

    Ninea head of the horticulture department had the confidence to fold her waist into an L shape even if her opponent was a goblin.

    Ninea who guided Leo and Chen Xia to the club room kicked down the club door and said

    “Everyone bow your head and kneel! Give me money… oh no! “The next student council president has arrived!”

    “omg?”

    “Ha student council president?”

    The horticulture club members were startled and jumped up from their seats.

    And they crowded around Leo and Chen Xia.

    “Welcome!”

    “Congratulations on your visit!”

    “Plan card! “Plan card!”

    The students gave a warm welcome.

    All of them were students in the Department of Magic and Summoning.

    “joy. “A precious person did something to a shabby place.”

    At that time first-year Eliza who was in the innermost part of the club room said while trimming her nails as usual.

    “Was it the horticulture club?”

    “yes. “Because I like flowers.”

    after-! Eliza got up from the sofa and blew on her nails.

    “Even though I like flowers there weren’t any flowers outside.”

    “That’s it! Because the tastes of the seniors in the horticulture club are so bizarre…!”

    “Goeral? “Why does our Lady Eliza remain in this horrible place?”

    When Ninea spoke sarcastically Eliza snorted.

    “joy! “If I become the head of the horticulture department I will get rid of all those strange plants and turn them into beautiful flower gardens!”

    “No way!”

    Ninea screamed and clung to Eliza.

    “Don’t do that! These are the children I worked hard to raise for four years! They are like my children! Eliza! Don’t do that! “Ugh!”

    It was clear that an elite like Eliza would naturally become the head of the horticulture department over time.

    Ninea cried with sincerity at the thought that all the plants she had worked so hard to grow might die in the distant future.

    “Oh okay! Because it won’t be like that…. Waaagh?! “Stop pulling on my skirt!”

    Eliza was horrified and tried to shake Ninea off.

    I didn’t feel dignified at all either as a fourth-year senior or as a manager.

    However Eliza who was known for her temperament was not able to exert any power at all towards Ninea.

    ‘It’s a natural enemy.’

    While Leo was muttering to himself Eliza managed to calm Ninea down.

    And then I cleared my throat.

    “hmm! Anyway if you came here for student council work it would be for inspection and budget measurement right?”

    Eliza’s eyes turned sharp.

    “Then would you like to talk to me?”

    At that question Leo glanced at Ninea.

    “Isn’t there a separate manager of the horticulture department?”

    “I am the vice president. And I am handling all budget issues.”

    At Eliza’s words Leo looked at Ninea.

    “huh. “After Eliza joined life at the club has improved tremendously.”

    “If the manager likes a plant he will spend all his money to buy it.”

    “There is such an irresponsible person in the world…!”

    “I’m a senior! senior!”

    “Anyway Eliza! “We took a lot out of our budget to prepare for the Ruse match…”

    “I’m dragging you away because I can’t help you.”

    As Eliza spoke coldly the third-year members of the horticulture department grabbed Ninea by both arms and dragged her away.

    “This is the worst! hey! Argh! Just listen to what the first graders say! As seniors you have no pride… Eup! town! town!!”

    “That’s not something a senior should say.”

    “Follow me quietly. “Leave the additional budget to Eliza.”

    Looking at that Chen Xia chuckled and took out a note from her arms.

    Eliza placed the two people on a sofa and a table on one side of the room and sat in front of them.

    As we clapped our hands gracefully another first-year student served refreshments.

    “It’s an expensive car.”

    As Chen Xia sipped the tea and admired it Eliza smiled as she held the teacup.

    “It’s the horticulture department. “We are also working on a tea leaf business in conjunction with the commercial club.”

    “I think I heard that from Carl.”

    In the Lumerun club you can engage in any number of economic activities if you have the ability.

    Of course part of the profits had to be paid to Lumern but the value of the brand name Lumern was enormous in the first place so it was not a waste of money.

    “Did you know that increasing the budget will also greatly affect economic performance?”

    “I know. But with this much revenue I don’t think there’s any need for additional budget right?”

    “It’s a match against Luce. “I have a lot to prepare.”

    “How much do you want?”

    “It’s as much as the existing horticulture department’s annual budget.”

    At those words Leo looked at Chen Xia.

    Chen Xia shook her head.

    It meant that there were too many.

    “Make it 1/4.”

    “There is no compromise. “We have prepared all the evidence to support this budget.”

    Eliza the successor to the Hergin family a famous heroic family in the northern part of the continent was trained not only as a summoner but also as a successor as the head of the family.

    As such he was very familiar with paperwork and budget issues.

    “hmm.”

    Eliza curled the corners of her mouth as she watched Leo reviewing the document.

    ‘Additional budget increases can be made in any amount as long as reasonable data is submitted.’

    Eliza crossed her legs gracefully.

    ‘Leo Plov. I won the position of student council president through my skills but are my work skills as good as that?’

    Eliza saw clearly that the fact that Leo who was still the student council president came out for inspection with the title of student council president meant that the student council was testing him.

    Therefore I planned to do my best to deal with him accordingly.

    ‘I’ll tear as much as you can.’

    “The data is solid.”

    Chen Xia who had already done enough student council work said with a slightly troubled expression.

    Chen Xia was also less capable than Eliza in this regard.

    “What is the horticulture department trying to do at Rusejeon?”

    Eliza’s eyes fluttered.

    “That…”

    “We will fight the man-eating plants of the Seilun Horticultural Department! Our horticulture department has been winning for the past four years….”

    “Seniors!”

    Eliza shouted sharply and the other gardening members dragged Ninea away again.

    Eliza said pressing her temples.

    “Oh anyway! Defeating Seilun is important right? “We desperately need that budget!”

    Actually you don’t need that much budget.

    I simply requested an increase in the budget because I wanted to spend my future activities more comfortably.

    ‘Because we have to get as much budget as possible when we can!’

    Eliza lifted her chin.

    “We are demanding our fair rights.”

    If Leo and Chen Xia had been on the upper-year student council they would have had something to say since they were well-versed in club activities but the two had a blind eye for club activities.

    ‘What should I do?’

    It was when Chen Xia scratched her cheek.

    Leo raised his palms.

    Grumble-!

    Bleep?

    Fiora appeared riding a summoning circle.

    Eliza flinched when she saw that.

    ‘Blood phoenix?’

    “Fiora.”

    Bleep?

    Leo handed over to Fiora an approval document that included 1/4 of the budget increase that Eliza had requested.

    “Go and get that person’s autograph.”

    Bye-!

    Feeling that she had been asked to run a useless errand Fiora spit out the documents.

    Leo said while looking at Fiora.

    “This is something only you can do.”

    Fiora paused at those words and shook her head! He raised his head and nodded firmly.

    And then he ran to Eliza with the documents in his mouth.

    Bang- Bang-!

    “Ugh…!”

    Eliza’s face turned red and she began to panic.

    Since I couldn’t communicate I wasn’t confident that I would win.

    Druk-!

    “let’s go. “He will get your autograph on his own.”

    Leo left the horticulture department dragging Chen Xia.

    Looking at that Chen Xia tilted her head.

    “Will it be okay?”

    “I should have gotten your autograph.”

    “Miss Eliza seemed quite strong.”

    “If the summoner is a phoenix he’ll die in no time.”

    Chen Xia thought about those words and then burst out laughing as if she understood.

    “But I think I went a little too far.”

    “A friend of mine told me that if you think the negotiation is going to be unfavorable seize your weakness and bite persistently.”

    “hmm? Have you ever had a friend like that? “It seems like a bit of a cowardly idea for a hero to come up with.”

    Leo thought to himself as he looked at Chen Xia who was surprised.

    ‘This is what Lisinas who is called the hero of heroes said.’

    Leo looked at Chen Xia remembering the King of Wisdom who was often called a trickster.

    Chen Xia was the most mature among the first-year students but she still seemed to have a pure side.

    ‘Isn’t it? Are me and the others except Aron dirty?’
