Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 251



251

“It’s unreasonable! Professor Sedgen!”

“that’s right! “We were first-year students who were advised to drop out so why do we have to leave school too?”

“We didn’t have this conversation when we were in first grade right?”

Protests poured in from all over.

It had to be that way.

Even though I am a second year student it does not mean that I have more time to spare in my academic life.

Students in the middle and lower classes still find it difficult to take care of themselves.

In such a situation would you be a mentor to first year students?

Moreover being a mentor is not the end.

If a first-year student in charge was advised to drop out during the first semester final exam they would be held accountable and a penalty of having to leave school together was imposed.

It was such an unreasonable treatment.

Eliza doesn’t seem to be interested. I was sitting at the very back of the main lecture room getting my nails done.

Sitting around her were the Summoning Department students who followed Eliza.

This was in contrast to Abad and Duran sitting in the front row.

In fact Duran has an arrogant personality but he is an honor student who is very diligent in class.

Abad goes without saying.

On the contrary Eliza was famous for her insincere attitude in class regardless of her grades.

Of course just because you have a disloyal attitude doesn’t mean you won’t take classes.

However if you think that the content you know or that is unnecessary you often ignore the class and do something else outright.

It was still like that now.

Eliza who had finished trimming her nails and yawned while covering her mouth was reacting angrily.

‘Lumern is also doing useless things.’

In any case those who survive will survive.

Whether it is through talent or effort.

‘Will anything change if we mentor them?’

Eliza who was crossing her legs while scoffing inwardly suddenly looked at the Noble student sitting in the seat in front of her.

Among Noble students Carl had the lowest grades.

Although he was the first dormitory student accepted by Abad and Duran because they highly regarded him Eliza was actually not very pleased with Karl being at Noble even now.

“This is the most unfavorable task for you but you are so calm aren’t you? Have you given up already?”

Eliza said with a chuckle.

“….”

But Carl had no reaction.

“Hey. you.”

“….”

“Carl Thomas.”

“huh?”

When I called his name only then did Carl look back.

Eliza looked up with wide eyes as if she hadn’t expected her to be called.

“Were you talking to me?”

“yes. “Know it as an honor.”

“Hey. “What happened?”

“It’s a task that is disadvantageous to you but I’m surprised you don’t react.”

“Did you just call me to ask something like that?”

It was something that would have made other students angry but Carl just laughed it off.

‘I guess someone isn’t Leo Plov’s best friend. The smirk is the same.’

Eliza made an unamused expression.

“Well this is a very disadvantageous task for me. But originally my grades were pretty mediocre.”

Carl shrugged his shoulders.

“Besides our school doesn’t bully students like this without giving them a chance to survive even though they bully them out of the blue.”

Carl grinned.

“Are you saying there is a way for you too?”

“There’s a saying that a crisis is an opportunity right?”

“Hmm.”

That was when Eliza suddenly opened her eyes.

“2nd graders. You can’t be elegant. “You have to listen to the story until the end.”

Sedjen tsk tsk tsk tsk.

The students who were complaining stopped.

“I’m not saying you should necessarily be a mentor to first-year students.”

Sedzen grinned.

“Students who do not want to be a mentor do not have to be a mentor. “Becoming a mentor is only a choice.”

With those words the students’ dissatisfaction subsided.

Seeing those students Sedgen smiled meaningfully.

“instead.”

Sedzen continued speaking after looking at the second graders.

“Students who become mentors are given benefits.”

“boon?”

“what?”

“Are you going to give me extra points?”

The students began to murmur.

“None of these first-year students leave school until the first semester of first year is over. “Whether or not they stay in school is decided after the final exam.”

The entire second grade gaped.

Current 2nd graders as well as 3rd 4th and 5th graders have been competing for survival at school since they were freshmen.

But these new students say no.

This is a huge benefit for second graders.

Sedgen spread his arms wide.

“It would be strange if students who became mentors left midway. Therefore the students who serve as mentors will also have their withdrawal postponed until the end of the final exam regardless of their grades!”

“omg!”

“That kind of thing…!”

It was an unprecedented benefit.

This is especially eye-opening for students who are in the lower grades.

Then Celia raised her hand.

“professor. So do mentors unconditionally stay at school as long as their mentees stay at school?”

“no. If that happens it may hinder your own growth so that’s not the case. “Students who do not meet the cutoff point based on their grades on the final exam will be advised to drop out.”

In any case it was a reprieve.

Still it remained a tremendous opportunity.

If you focus on preparing for the final exam while taking care of your mentee and just pass the cutoff line you will be able to stay at Lumern.

Not only the low-ranking students but also the middle-ranking students showed expressions of disapproval.

I’ve already lasted a year in Rumern.

We should not let down our guard just because we were in the lower tier.

There were many students who had to leave school due to unexpected variables during their first year.

“And additional evaluation points are given depending on how much first-year students have grown.”

Sedzen looked around at the second graders.

“It’s not just for first graders. “I’m sure you can all gain something while guiding your juniors.”

This is a system that did not exist when today’s second graders were first graders.

‘There is definitely an impact from the change of principal.’

The principal would not have decided on such an unconventional academic schedule alone.

It was clear that this decision was made after numerous faculty meetings.

“How is the relationship between mentors and mentees determined?”

This time Abad raised his hand and asked:

“I plan to leave that to the discretion of the second and first year students.”

Sedgen crossed his arms.

“If you invite a first-year student to become your mentee and the first-year student accepts that a relationship is established. The opposite is also true.”

In other words regardless of whether the student was a first-year student or a second-year student if they nominated someone and agreed a relationship between mentor and mentee would be established.

The students’ eyes sparkled.

‘It’s a contest!’

Of course it is more advantageous to receive students with better grades.

“Hmm.”

Eliza who was listening to the story made a sad expression.

“It is as you said.”

Carl grinned at Eliza’s words.

“It’s definitely as Abad said. “My head turns quickly in this direction.”

After saying that Eliza quickly lost interest in this assignment.

If it was a task that I couldn’t do I wasn’t really interested.

It is said that it will be aired in grades but it is not known how long it will be aired.

‘It would be much better to concentrate on training instead of worrying about the first years.’

It was just as Eliza thought.

There wasn’t much merit for a student like her.

“Eliza what do you think about this assignment?”

“I’m not interested.”

Eliza gave clear answers to her followers who asked her questions cautiously.

At those words the faces of other Noble students from the Summoning Department brightened.

The Summoning Department has fewer students than the Knight Department and Magic Department.

Therefore if a student like Eliza loses interest in mentor assignments there is a higher chance of receiving a better junior as a mentee.

‘Wareden probably isn’t interested in this task either!’

The Summoning Department students internally cheered.

Then Leo raised his hand.

“Something.”

“There are more first-year students than second-year students. Can one student receive multiple juniors?”

“okay.”

The number of second-year students is clearly smaller than that of first-year students.

In a way it was natural that one second-year student could have several first-year students as mentees.

“What happens in that case? “If even one mentee is recommended to drop out will they also drop out?”

“That’s too harsh. In that case Halind will make a decision based on the final grades of the first graders you will be responsible for.”

When the name of the Lumern Wailing Wall was mentioned the second graders gulped dry saliva.

On the other hand I thought that it would be evaluated fairly.

‘Professor Halind’s personality is such that he will not blindly eliminate mentors just because three of them were in charge and two were eliminated.’

‘You will judge by looking at how much the student has grown compared to the beginning of the semester.’

‘Depending on the abilities of the students you receive as mentees it may be advantageous to have multiple mentees. Of course you shouldn’t just accept it.’

The students organized their thoughts internally.

Meanwhile Sedzen finished speaking.

“Selecting a mentee will take place one week from today.”

Sedzen grinned.

“I just hope that you can be good seniors to your juniors.”

***

After being given a huge task that will dominate the entire first semester.

The second year students returned to their respective dormitories.

This is the end of today’s class.

The task starts today.

As it was a sudden assignment the idea was to give students some time to prepare.

In the Glory lounge the first dormitory students were busy discussing among themselves.

“Who should I get it from?”

“It’s difficult to blindly recommend it to someone who has good entrance exam scores or is famous.”

The Glory students glanced at Leo standing by the window in the common room.

“Those guys would want top second-year students to be their mentors.”

“Besides Leo is all class.”

“You can get a mentee regardless of department.”

“Ugh. “It would be a huge burden for Leo if he only accepted one person from each department.”

While Glory students were in trouble.

Leo walked up to the dormitory window opened the door and stretched out his hand.

Then a small red chick came flapping its wings.

It was already a well-known fact that Leo was a contractor for Phoenix.

As a result after the second year began Fiora began to openly roam around the Glory dormitory.

“Beep! “Beep!”

Fiora flapped her wings and asked Leo for something.

“As soon as it arrives it asks for a snack first.”

Leo laughed as if he was dumbfounded took the chocolate out of his pocket and placed it on his palm.

Paddadak-!

Fiora flew onto Leo’s palm and gracefully pecked at the chocolate.

Bye! Bye!

However he soon seemed to be dissatisfied and pushed the chocolate with his foot dropping it on the floor.

“Do you want something better?”

This was when Leo looked dumbfounded when he suddenly refused to eat something that he had been eating well until recently.

“Fiora~”

“Welcome! “I’ll give you something delicious!”

When the Glory girls approached with snacks Fiora abandoned Leo without any hesitation and flew in that direction.

Beep-! Beep-!

Fiora squeals happily while eating the snacks provided by the female students.

The female students squealed at the sight of Fiora like that.

“Look at how cute he is!”

“You follow me like this! “Do I have talent as a summoner?”

Fiora has suddenly become the mascot of Glory Dormitory.

-That pig chick. After eating delicious food from the female students my taste buds became needlessly sophisticated. He’s doing all of the restoration and disgrace all by himself.

-Okay pig chick…? Master! Please call me Pig Colt!

-Do it in moderation. Artie.

Kiran grumbled Artie grunted and Elsie sighed deeply.

“Leo. “Do you have a first-year junior who you are thinking of as a mentee?”

At that time Chloe came up and asked.

“I don’t have anything in particular yet. “I haven’t figured out all the first-year students yet.”

“It certainly is.”

Chloe was lost in thought.

At that time Illyana stood up from her seat.

“Eight! First let’s go to the first-year classroom building and talk to the juniors!”

At those words Glory students nodded and stood up.

While all students left the dormitory.

Leo was the only one left in the dormitory.

-Leo.

“why?”

– Let’s pick a baby that is easy to pamper!

Leo burst into laughter at Kiran’s words.

***

That evening.

The second year students who met with the first year students returned to the dormitory.

“It’s not easy.”

“that’s right. Kids with a certain level of ability think about various things. “Children who don’t think about such things have very poor skills.”

“This assignment. “It won’t be easy.”

Glory students looked embarrassed.

It was then.

“class monitor! class monitor!”

Illyana approached Leo.

“why?”

“Someone came looking for you.”

“who?”

“Aina Beidna.”

The Glory students were amazed by Illyana’s words.

“Definitely when you reach the level of Leo the first-year representative will come to visit you.”

“Now that I think about it you proudly declared that you would receive Leo’s recognition during the entrance ceremony right?”

“I think you respect Leo a lot.”

Leo got up and walked out of the dormitory leaving behind the Glory students who were talking loudly about Aina.

Aina found Leo and bowed her head.

“what’s the matter?”

In response to Leo’s question Aina looked up at Leo and said.

“Senior Leo. “Please be my mentor.”

Aina spoke in a voice filled with determination.

“I’m the best among first-year students. “It will definitely be helpful to Leo senior if he has me as a mentor.”

Leo spoke calmly in response to Aina’s words.

“I don’t plan on getting it because I’m a talented junior.”

Aina got angry at those words.

“If not me who else is qualified to be Leo’s mentee?”

“Everyone has qualifications.”

Leo chuckled.

“So I’m going to take the test.”

“test?”

“okay.”

“What test is it?”

Leo who had been pondering those words nodded.

“hmm. okay. “That would be nice.”

Leo grinned.

“I plan to accept as a mentee any first-year student who successfully attacks me in the next week.”

At those words Aina bit her lip.

“From now on?”

“okay.”

At the same time as she said those words a golden aura erupted from Aina’s body.

Leo said after seeing that.

“I knew it would be you.”
