Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student

Durand's ball wrapped in lightning aura flew towards the goal.

"Wind Shield!"

At that moment, Chelsi hastily cast a defensive spell.

A strong wind blew from the goalpost on class 5’s side.

Then the ball, which had been flying at great speed, slowed down for an instant.

But the momentum didn't disappear.

It was just delayed from reaching the goalpost for a few moments.

As the ball was wrapped in a lightning aura, it couldn't be caught rashly.

Even if Chelsi did slow it, it was clear that it would break through Chelsi's defensive magic and fly into the goal before it reached the hands of other students.

"Useless!"

When Duran sneered, Leo shouted.

"Karl! Get ready for what I told you!"

"Oh! If it wasn't for cleaning the bathroom!"

Karl activated magic.

Karl was an earth-element mage, and the earth element's specialization was defense and weight!

Faint brown magic emanated from Karl's body.

Leo, who protected himself with defensive magic, grabbed Karl who had reduced his weight using gravity magic, and him Karl at the goalpost.

He was thinking of defending using Karl.

Bang! Hwaak-!

Karl's body flew into the goalpost.

Swish! Squeak!

At the same time, the ball also succeeded in breaking through Chelsi's defensive magic.

Karl, who became lighter than the ball, reached the goalpost faster than the ball because of Leo's strength.

“It's no use! He will go into the goal with the ball!” Duran sneered.

However, just before being hit by the ball, Karl used magic to increase his body weight to its maximum.

In addition, Chelsi hurriedly cast a shield spell on Karl.

BANG!

"Ggweok!"

Clang!

Karl, hit by the ball, went into the goalpost, while the ball bounced back.

If you catch the ball before it hits the ground, the right to attack is maintained, but if they miss it, the right to attack disappears.

BUMP! Dugururur.

The ball rolled across the floor.

Whistle-!

"The attacking right goes to Class 5!"

“Kyaaaa! Awesome! Karl"

"Your sacrifice for the class! We won't forget!"

When Leo, Chelsi, and Karl managed to defend, cheers erupted from class 5.

Karl smiled sadly at his classmates who only remembered his sacrifice and didn't care about him.

“I’m sorry, Karl.”

"Are you okay?"

“Leo, Chelsi, never use me like this.”

Karl spoke as he saw Leo and Chelsi approaching with an apologetic smile.

“It was great. What kind of strategy is that?”

Chelsi smiled broadly when Nella, who had come for treatment, asked languidly.

“It’s [Operation Friend Shield!]. It's a defensive strategy that Brother Leo predicted and came up with..."

“To use a friend as a tool to win. That's a good strategy.”

Karl wanted to cry.

In the meantime, Illyana, who was holding the ball, crossed her arms! 

BAM-! 

“Thanks for the ball, girl... … !”

Whizz-!

Something like a whip suddenly stretched out from the Class 1 side and took the ball away from Illyana's hand.

"Wow! Howl!"

“Sexy!”

"Indeed, the heir of Snake Spear!"

The morale of Class 1, which quickly regained the right to attack, soared.

Illyana, who had been staring at her own hand and the snatched ball on Class 1’s side alternately, held both hands to her forehead and bowed her head to Karl.

“Sorry, I lost it.”

“Give me back my sacrifice!”

⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ 

"Oh! What brings you to the training ground at this hour, Senior Ain!"

"What do you mean? I came to observe the combat science class."

Ain and Ren met in front of the training ground.

"Huhu! I see. Celia, Duran, and Chen Xia are in the class! As a professor of their major, did you come to see how skilled the knights are in combat!?"

"I came to check out all the Knights Department students, Ren. I didn't come to see someone specifically like you.”

"I came to check on all the magic students as well, Senior."

Professor Ren also shrugged.

The two people’s relationship was not simply senior and junior or fellow Professors.

Both are graduates of Lumeln and have known each other since their Academy days.

Of course, it was not a good relationship, they had a bad relationship as students of different departments.

If the Summoning department Professor Yura was added to the mix, it was widely known among professors and students that it was a perfect combination for a bomb.

“Anyway, I was surprised when I heard the professors in charge of the first year.”

"It's not the first time those two are in charge of the lower grades."

"Come to think of it, Senior Ain was Professor Sedzen's first batch student, right? How was he back then?"

“He was the same as now. He really cared about his class. Professor Hallind has changed a lot since then.”

“By the time I was in the fifth year, he was already known as the ‘Wailing Wall’.”

Recalling their Academy days, the two professors entered the training ground.

And they were surprised.

“Bastella? From the first class?”

"That's shocking."

The two professors' eyes lit up when they realized that they were conducting Bastella between Class 1 and Class 5.

"The score is 1-0, and Class 5 is ahead."

It was an unexpected result.

All the aces in the first year were present.

Although it wasn't intentional, Class 1 was an elite class where high-scoring students in the entrance exam were gathered.

A battle between the first and last class.

No matter how meaningless the entrance exam results would become in a few months, right now there was definitely a clear difference.

“Leo and Chelsi. Illyana and Tade. And Nella... … they could be considered as the aces of Class 5, but still…"

Ain made a stunned expression.

“Amazing.”

Ren, who was watching the match, admired it.

“Student Leo is obviously a natural leader.”

“I definitely felt it from the entrance ceremony.”

Class 1 overwhelmed Class 5 by showing outstanding skills through individual plays.

Conversely, class 5 overwhelmed Class 1 through cooperative play.

The key was Leo.

He predicted the opponent's movements at every moment and sometimes displayed instant wit to respond to Class 1’s attacks.

Ren made a sad expression.

‘He's only using aura!’

Of course, it couldn't be helped.

Leo's ability to interpret spells was very good, but the amount of mana he possesses was small.

As a result, the main ability in battle had no choice but to be Aura.

Ren glanced at Ain with a nervous face.

As expected, Ain was also watching Leo.

However, unlike Ren who was nervous, he was watching the game with a very satisfied face.

Feeling resentful, Ren shouted inwardly.

'Student Leo! Please use magic too!'

Ren looked at Leo anxiously.

Meanwhile, the game moved into the second half.

Bastella consumed a lot of physical strength as it used all of one’s ability.

Originally, the match lasted for an hour, but with the stamina of a freshman now, the limit was about twenty minutes.

At that moment, Celia's terrifying attack shook Class 5's goalpost.

"Celia! You're great! I'm going to worship you!"

"Sister Celia! Please make me your little brother!”

Class 1 students cheered.

Celia had scored by breaking through three Class 5 students who were defending the goal.

"Is she a monster...?"

Karl, who had been hit directly by the ball, muttered with a tired face, and then he dropped his head and passed out.

“Huh-! Huh-!"

And even Celia, who had given her all, was in a state of exhaustion and had to retire.

"I took down three people and there's not much time left! We can definitely turn this game around if we block their next attack and counterattack! So let's make a comeback and win!"

Celia shouted with all her might.

The atmosphere of Class 5, which had barely maintained its superiority, became grim in an instant and was at its worst.

Conversely, Class 1's morale was at its peak.

Chloe glared at Class 5 from behind.

It was definitely Chloe who performed most brilliantly in this match.

Although she allowed a surprise goal in the early stages, she then perfectly blocked Leo and Chelsi, the core attackers of class 5, who used all kinds of methods to pierce through her, but they couldn't get past Chloe.

Looking at Leo preparing to attack, Chloe made a vow.

'I will never lose.'

After her first magic class, Chloe felt conscious of Leo even though she tried not to care.

She had never thought of being left behind by someone with magic.

She believed that her magic interpretation skills were superior to Abad, who was considered the strongest wizard in her class.

In fact, it was true. She was a genius in magic interpretation, even evaluated as one of the best at the Northern Magic Tower.

That was Chloe Muller.

However, during the first class, she fell behind in magic interpretation.

'I will never lose to Leo Flove.'

Chloe clenched her fists.

Due to Celia's vacancy, there was a hole in the defense of Class 1.

“Attack! If we can’t make it this time, we will definitely lose!”

Illyana shouted.

Chelsi blocked Duran, who was running to mark Leo.

The other players also tried their best to put Leo and Chloe in a one-on-one situation.

Leo ran through the half line with quick movements and ran toward the goalpost.

With Celia out of the game, and Duran's feet tied up by Chelsi, there was no one to stop Leo.

But Class 1 still had some faith.

Chloe stood in front of Leo.

"You can't go through."

“I’m sorry, but if it’s one-on-one, I think I can break through, don't you think so too?"

Chloe laughed at Leo's words.

Sizzle!

Leo's eyes flickered.

In an instant, ice gathered in the air, forming ice statues that looked just like Chloe.

Four ice statues that looked just like Chloe appeared in front of Leo, blocking his path like living dolls.

"This is ridiculous! Ice clones? Using such a high-level magic spell? Even my brother can't do that!"

Chelsi was shocked.

"This is not just a simple clone!"

Magic circles unfolded around the ice clones, and each clone acted like a wizard.

“At that age, to use this level of magic. Genius.”

Leo was amazed, while Chloe's eyes twitched.

“Are you kidding me now?”

'He took first place in the magic theory test!'

Chloe glared at Leo with scary eyes and snorted.

"Anyway, you can't break through me! So give up!"

"Indeed, I can't break through this with my aura alone."

Leo grinned.

"On the other hand, maybe with my magic..."

Crackle!

'Magic?'

Chloe was taken aback.

She never expected Leo to use magic at this moment, and soon, Leo's body multiplied into many.

"Illusion magic?!'

Although she was caught off guard at the beginning, she could easily devise a way to respond to the illusion magic.

Attacking a player with magic was against the rules, but illusions created by magic can be attacked.

'Which is real?'

Differentiating between the real and the fake created using illusion magic was a very simple task for Chloe.

She focused her mana and looked at the illusion, but things didn’t go the way she wanted

Soon, Chloe's face stiffened.

'I can't tell which ones’ fake!'

Without knowing which is real and which is fake, she couldn't attack rashly.

But there was something more surprising than that.

"This...this magic is...!"

While Chloe was stunned, Leo passed her, and effortlessly scored a goal.

Chloe, who was so shocked and even forgot to respond, stumbled to the ground.

Perfect illusion magic that couldn't be identified as real or fake.

Chloe also knew the magic Leo used just now, but she couldn't use it– because it wasn't human magic.

Clove stared blankly behind her.

As the illusion disappeared, leaves scattered.

A fundamentally different magic system.

"Elf's… … Nebula magic?”

[Mirage].

What Leo used now was the magic created by Legendary Hero Luna, the founder of Nebula Magic.
