    The three people who received an invitation to lunch from Mel headed to the first-year magic building.

    Mel asked me to eat in her lab and stay in the first-year magic wing for a while while she gets ready.

    “Wow. 1st year magic building. “It’s a memory.”

    “We had classes here just a few months ago right?”

    “Fresh new students! “We had times like that too.”

    “If anyone sees you they’ll think you’re a graduate.”

    When Carl arrived at the first-year magic building and made a fuss Chloe grabbed her head and Leo burst out laughing.

    Meanwhile on the cafe terrace in front of the magic building I grabbed my textbook and groaned! The first graders who were wrestling noticed the three people and their eyes widened.

    “for a moment. Those three people… senior Leo and senior Chloe. And isn’t it senior Carl?”

    “Where where?”

    “It’s real!”

    The first graders looked surprised.

    Magic students flocked to us.

    Carl muttered as he looked at that scene.

    “Ouch. As expected the honor student and student council president who are competing for first or second place in the Department of Magic are popular among juniors…”

    “Senior Carl! hello!”

    “Nice to meet you senior~”

    “What are you doing here?”

    First graders crowded around Carl.

    Carl widened his eyes at that.

    Chloe tilted her head while taking a step back.

    “It’s very popular among juniors.”

    “During the welcome party the person who approached the first graders the most was Carl.”

    “You were just trying to promote your own products right?”

    “Still from the juniors’ point of view Karl is easier to deal with. “It’s also fun.”

    “I can’t deny that it’s fun but…”

    Chloe trailed off and looked at Karl who was talking friendly with his juniors.

    Leo chuckled as he looked at that.

    “what? “Are you jealous?”

    “I’m jealous of you!”

    Leo smiled while looking at Chloe with a slightly red face and pointed to one side.

    “I think there are some kids over there who want to become friends with you?”

    Chloe looked in the direction Leo pointed.

    “It’s senior Chloe…!”

    “This is my first time seeing you in person.”

    “I read all the magic papers Chloe senior wrote when she was a freshman! “I want to get your autograph!”

    The first graders were looking at Chloe with bright eyes.

    Leo tapped Chloe on the shoulder.

    Chloe mumbled at that! I cleared my throat and approached my juniors.

    “you guys. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

    “omg! Senior Seo?”

    “If you have something to say say it. “I will listen.”

    As always Chloe adjusted her grip on the grimoire and stood upright with her back straight.

    As a senior I tried to act dignified but my juniors looked at me differently.

    “Oh no!”

    “Sorry for staring!”

    “I will never make eye contact with you again!”

    “Oh no… there’s no need to go that far…”

    “Excuse me!”

    The first graders scattered screaming.

    Chloe’s hand which wanted to reach out to her juniors cleaved the air in vain.

    Leo approached.

    “What on earth… what on earth did I do that made you so scared?”

    Leo said while looking at Chloe who was crying.

    “I heard you froze all the test takers during the entrance exam? “Isn’t that why it’s like that?”

    “That’s because Professor Halind told me to do my best!”

    “Anyway thanks to that the perception that you are a scary senior has become entrenched.”

    “Ugh!”

    Chloe slumped her shoulders.

    Meanwhile Karl who had become popular with his juniors looked proud.

    “Anyway is there anything you want to ask me?”

    The first graders’ eyes sparkled at those words.

    “there is!”

    “Huh? “What is it?”

    “How did you end up in second grade?”

    “…what does that mean?”

    “Senior Karl said it through his own words. “I became a second year student even though my skills were lower than that of other students.”

    “You said your brains aren’t as good as other students! “Then of course you have some useful tips related to studying right?”

    “The class is so difficult! Senior Carl how did you understand the content of this class?”

    The first-year students treated Carl as a lucky second-year student.

    It would be hard for a student who experienced Karl during the entrance exam to say that but the students here did not encounter Karl during the entrance exam.

    The first-year students were thinking that there must have been a great secret behind why Carl became a second-year student without being advised to drop out.

    “Is it because you are close to the student council president?”

    “After all you have to be close to those in power….”

    Looking at the juniors talking seriously a tendon rose on Karl’s forehead.

    “You cheeky things!”

    The problem was that I didn’t hesitate too much during the first-year welcome party.

    In particular many Lumern students are nobles.

    When I released it it was climbing towards Carl endlessly.

    ‘Chloe gets into trouble because she’s too scared and Carl gets into trouble because he takes things too lightly.’

    Leo who was shaking his head paused.

    ‘Hmm.’

    I looked through the entire first-year magic building.

    ‘That’s an unpleasant look.’

    I felt someone watching.

    As I was the center of attention wherever I went I was used to the stares.

    but….

    ‘I don’t like it when people hide and watch as if searching.’

    Leo curled the corners of his mouth.

    ***

    “Hmm. “Is that the famous Leo Plov?”

    5th floor 1st year magic building.

    At a location where the entire entrance to the magic building can be seen a first-year female student holding a telescope wears her mouth! Open and yum! I took a bite of the bread and ate it.

    “On the outside he’s just an ordinary pretty boy right?”

    A male student who was standing in an upright position on one side of the room responded to the female student’s muttering.

    “Don’t judge by appearances. “This is a man who became student council president in his first year.”

    The male student said calmly.

    “He is the most powerful hero candidate to follow in the footsteps of Geomseong and take charge of the next generation. “He might be someone we have to sacrifice our lives for in the future so keep a close eye on him.”

    The female student laughed at the male student.

    “Well you a member of Rumern may be someone you have to protect with your life. “But it has nothing to do with me.”

    “Did you really say that Shan’s shadow only moves for Shan’s sake? “A dog that simply follows its owner’s commands without any sense of justice or belief.”

    “joy. I’d rather have a dog that follows its owner’s commands. “The justice and beliefs you speak of are in my opinion mental illness?”

    The two glared at each other grimly.

    It wasn’t the energy a hero candidate would have.

    A sticky and cruel life that binds people.

    It was when the two people lowered their posture at the same time.

    “If students are caught fighting among themselves they will be disciplined.”

    The male and female students were startled by the voice coming from next to them and waved their arms at the same time.

    Tup-! Tup-!

    Leo grabbed the two students’ arms with both hands.

    “Hoo.”

    Leo looked at the two students with an exclamation.

    The male student relaxed and became obedient.

    But it wasn’t a female student.

    Woe!

    While holding his arm he lifted his leg and tried to take a picture of Leo’s arm.

    Tup-!

    Leo used his free hand to grab the ankle of the girl who was trying to hit his hand.

    He then stamped the female student’s instep with his foot.

    “100 million!”

    The female student rolled around on the floor holding on to her feet.

    The female student who shed tears as she saw Leo easily subduing her gritted her teeth and muttered.

    “How did you get in here?”

    “I came in through the door.”

    Leo who spoke harshly squatted down in front of the female student.

    “It’s been a fight since day one? “You’re full-blooded.”

    “You all fought just now!”

    Leo chuckled as he looked down at the female student who was holding her ankle and groaning.

    “I didn’t fight I just disciplined my juniors.”

    After saying that Leo looked at the male student.

    The tall thin male student adjusted his glasses and greeted Leo politely.

    “My name is Fritz Edgon a first-year member of the magic department. “Leo Plov.”

    Leo scratched his cheek as he looked at Fritz who greeted him gracefully like a butler.

    “What are you doing Leo? “Call me senior.”

    “I am comfortable with this.”

    After saying that Leo looked at the female student.

    “I don’t think you are from the Department of Magic.”

    “It’s the Department of Engineers.”

    The girl who woke up shakily said.

    “It’s called El Jane.”

    With black hair and black eyes she was clearly Eastern.

    “okay. “Why were you spying on me?”

    “Surveillance? “I just looked at the face of my respected senior Leo from afar.”

    Leo chuckled as he looked at Jane who was holding both hands together and making a cute sweet voice as if she was fawning.

    “Oh really? Then let me ask you one thing. “Why isn’t Chen Xia coming back?”

    “yes? “Why are you asking me about him?”

    “I asked because I am learning the same Auror techniques as Chen Xia.”

    Jane paused at those words.

    After loosening his hands he narrowed his eyes and looked at Leo.

    Leo said this time looking at Fritz.

    “I don’t think you two belong to the same affiliation but why did shadows from different affiliations enroll as students?”

    Fritz looked surprised.

    “How could that…”

    “You’ll know it when you see it.”

    Among the existing students there is no one who has the same energy as these two first-year students.

    ‘Except for Chen Xia.’

    Leo narrowed his eyes as he remembered his friend.

    Even when I was leading first-year students I immediately noticed that there were a few other students who gave off a strange vibe.

    And I also knew that they were ‘shadows’.

    “Well the reason you got caught so easily is because you are immature.”

    “I don’t know what to do since the great hero candidate pointed out that I am immature.”

    Jane spoke bluntly.

    “You don’t like the fact that Shadow entered this school? Ask the principal why. And the thing about Chen Xia…”

    Jane said after glaring at Leo.

    “I have no obligation to tell you!”

    Jane who said that hit! and left the room.

    Leo who was looking at that scene looked at Fritz.

    Fritz bowed his head politely.

    “I also cannot explain the reason until the principal orders it.”

    “okay. okay. “I’ll ask you directly later.”

    Leo stood up.

    ‘I just need to hear it from Mel anyway.’

    Bubble Bubble-

    A stew was boiling in the pot.

    Rumern professors usually decorate their classrooms to suit themselves.

    Usually professors in the Department of Magic have items needed for magic research on one side of their rooms.

    However there was a kitchen in Mel’s professor’s office.

    “It’s a hobby.”

    Mel smiled kindly and explained to Chloe and Carl who were surprised.

    As Chloe and Carl sat down Mel used her magic to bring the dishes to the table.

    The two people widened their eyes at the feast unfolding before their eyes.

    “Isn’t that too much for you?”

    Carl asked sweating and sweating and Mel’s eyes widened.

    “You are all teenagers in the growth stage. “They say you have to eat a lot to grow big.”

    After saying that Mel personally served food to the two people.

    Carl muttered as he looked at the food piled up on his plate.

    “It’s like seeing my grandmother.”

    “me too.”

    “Professor Mel! “How old are you?”

    “It’s rude to ask a lady’s age. Hehehe.”

    Karl scratched his cheek as he covered his mouth and smiled gently.

    Chloe’s eyes widened as she put a meatball in her mouth with a fork.

    “delicious! “It’s so delicious!”

    “really? where….”

    Carl was also surprised when he tried the food.

    “oh my god! “It’s better than the food at the restaurant at our school!”

    The two people were excited to eat delicious food and started eating excitedly.

    Mel laughed while looking at the two of them.

    “Huh… I feel like my stomach is going to explode.”

    “I need to go on a diet too… Would you mind making me a pill to lose weight? “It will sell really well.”

    “The girls in my dorm also said that to me yesterday.”

    “So what did you say?”

    “I answered that weight loss pills will make you fat if you eat them like you eat snacks.”

    Karl looked at Chloe with lukewarm eyes.

    “I’ll do it exactly as you said.”

    “You said that and got beaten up by the kids in your dorm right?”

    “huh.”

    “Then why can’t you think it’s right for me too?”

    Chloe with tendons rising on her forehead hit Carl with a book.

    Carl asked as he defended Chloe’s attack with his arm.

    “By the way Professor Mel. Why did you invite us to dinner?”

    “huh? It doesn’t have any special meaning. “It was just the right place to eat alone.”

    Carl thought as he looked at Mel with her chin resting and a grin on her face.

    ‘Do you feel like a real grandmother?’

    “By the way student Carl is interested in elixirs and student Chloe is interested in grimoires right?”

    “yes.”

    “Of course.”

    Mel grinned and walked over to the bookshelf in the professor’s office.

    And I picked up a book.

    Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    Then the bookshelf opened like a sliding door and a huge space appeared inside.

    There was a secret space inside.

    Mel came out from there with a potion bottle and a grimoire.

    widely-

    Mel smiled as she placed the two items on the desk.

    “It’s a grimoire written about dragon blood and dragon language magic.”

    “omg!”

    Carl opened his mouth wide.

    Chloe also widened her eyes.

    “You can’t take it out but you can look at it as much as you like in my lab.”

    “Oooh!”

    “thank you!”

    The two with bright expressions took the potion bottle and grimoire from Mel.

    While their attention was focused on that place Mel handed a note to Leo.

    “Leo. “This is the information about student Sia you requested.”

    Leo who received it opened the note in a place where the two people’s eyes could not close.

    Then I checked the contents inside and wriggled my eyes.

    “Is this true?”

    “yes.”

    Mel sighed bitterly.

    “Student Xia is said to be withdrawing from being a hero candidate due to family circumstances.”
