Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student - CH 24
The professors in charge of this year’s freshmen classes have gathered in the professor’s lounge, a place for them to socialize before the start of the semester.
“The incoming freshman class seems to be exceptional overall,”
“Oh, come to think of it, there were three chiefs in the Knight department, right?”
Professor Ren chuckled at Professor Ain’s words.
“I’m envious, there are only two Chief students in the magic department.”
“Are you making fun of our Summoning Department? Ren?” Professor Yura asked with a frown.
“Hahaha, of course not!”
“Which department will come out on top is something that can only be determined once the semester begins. There’s no guarantee that the top students will always be the best, right? And there’s also a freshmen representative among the top students this year,” Ain added as he swirled his wine glass.
The professors nodded in agreement to Ain’s words.
Ain took a sip of his wine and continued, “Even the freshmen representative has aspirations of becoming a Knight.”
‘This student is unconditionally the best in the Knight’s Department.’
Professor Ain looked at the two teachers with a hint of humility.
“Well, well, you sound confident despite acknowledging the uncertainty of the outcome, Senior.”
‘You are free to dream. Senior Ain. Student Leo will be coming to our magic department.’
On the outside, Professor Ren burst out laughing, while on the inside, he smiled meaningfully.
“Indeed, As they say. You’re becoming a little bit uncool.”
‘You’re kidding, Leo Flove belongs to our Summoning Department. I want to see what kind of expression they would make after seeing the application form.`
Professor Yura smiled on the outside while sneering on the inside.
Just then, the associate professors arrived with the department selection application form.
“Professors, we have the application form. We’ll sort them out over the weekend,” they informed.
“You’ve done well. Take some rest.”
The professors offered food and drinks to the associate professors.
In the meantime, Professor Ain, Professor Yura, and Professor Ren went straight to the class 5 application form.
‘Why are they going straight to the class 5 application?’
‘Is there any students they are interested in?’
‘Why are they doing this?’
When they arrived, they found Leo’s picture on top of the class 5 application form and they couldn’t believe their eyes. The form read:
<Department Application Form>
Name: Leo Flove.
Class: Class 5.
Applied Majors: Knight, Magic, Summoning.
The three professors thought in unison, “What the hell is going on?”
⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩
“You’re crazy! You’re crazy! You’re crazy!”
Slap-slap-slap-slap-slap-
“Why are you hitting me?”
At the park in front of the dormitory, Celia grabbed Leo by the arm and struck him on the back.
“There are rumors about you in the girls’ dorm! Tri-Major? What? Does that even make sense?”
“Why doesn’t it make sense? I bought all the books for my major, and even during the general classes, I attended all major classes.”
“Did you buy them to use as a major book, not as a reference book?”
“Of course.”
“Ah-! You planned it out, you nutcase!”
Celia grabbed her head and bounced around.
“Does it make sense to say that you are a Tri-Major? If you joke around like that when applying for the majors, no professor will take you seriously,”
In Lumeln, the professors held a lot of power and influence.
If you caught the attention of a professor from another major, your life in the academy would become a living nightmare.
And the professors of each major had a strong sense of pride in their own areas of expertise.
So, choosing all the sacred departments would be seen as a joke by everyone.
There was nothing to say even if he got caught by all the major professors.
Celia was heartbroken at the thought of Leo, who had only just entered Lumeln, causing a major accident within a week of being there.
But despite her frustration, Leo was nonchalant about the whole thing.
“Quick, go apologize to the professors!” Celia demanded.
“No, I’m taking all the majors,” Leo said firmly.
“Why is he really like this? Does it make sense to be an All-Major?” Celia asked in disbelief.
Leo opened his left hand and showed her his palm, and with a thought, mana flowed out of it and magic burst forth, catching Celia’s attention.
But that wasn’t the end of it. Spirit power then wrapped around Leo’s hand.
“You, you, you?” Celia stammered in shock.
“Even my parents don’t know yet,” Leo said, shrugging his shoulders.
Celia gasped and looked at him in disbelief.
“My abilities have been confirmed by all the professors. You’ll see that it’s not a joke,” Leo said with a smirk.
“What the hell are you?” Celia asked.
“What do you mean, ‘who am I’?” Leo grinned.
“I’m your cousin,” he said with a smile.
⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩
“It is unprecedented. Since the beginning of Lumeln, No. Since the beginning of all hero academies, this is the first time to encounter this kind of situation.”
All-Major.
It was not that there was no such hero in the long history of the world.
However, that hero was treated as nothing but a fictional character in today’s world, a world where there was a miracle called Hero records which records the history of all heroes.
‘The fifth Legendary hero, Kyle.’
However, an All-Class hero like that which can only be seen in fiction appeared now.
Professor Ain, Professor Yura, and Professor Ren had already met with Dean Kalrian.
The content of the meeting was to make clear which department Leo should belong to.
The three professors passionately explained how great Leo’s talent was.
“What should we do, Principal?” Secretary Elena asked.
“In this situation, it’s only fair to let the student choose his own path,” Kalrian replied with a smile. “It’s the duty of the school to provide education that aligns with the student’s goals and aspirations.”

Weekends at Lumeln were quite relaxed.
Despite the packed class schedules during the week, the weekends were set aside for much-needed rest.
Students could either visit Lumeria or request an overnight stay.
“Does it make sense to come to the training ground on such a sunny weekend?” Karl complained.
“I decided to receive instruction on swordsmanship from brother Leo today,” Chelsi said, dressed in comfortable athletic wear.
Battle Mage.
Literally, it means a wizard who can fight even at the forefront.
It was different from the dual-class Magic Swordsman.
In the case of a magic swordsman, both aura and mana were used, but a battle mage uses only mana.
A battle mage enhances physical abilities through auxiliary magic and focuses on high-speed casting and multiple casts as their main magic.
While general mages took care of firepower from the rear, the battle mage’s role was to penetrate into the middle of the enemy formation and disrupt their formations in case of emergency.
A skilled battle mage used to create numerous variables by jumping into melee without hesitation.
Chelsi was fascinated by Leo’s ability to stop Talatunia without using Aura during the entrance exam, and was eager for his teachings.
‘Brother Leo was also a mage.’
As the battle mage and magic swordsman have many similarities, Chelsi thought that being guided by a magic swordsman would be more helpful than being guided by a pure knight.
Celia, who came out after hearing that Leo would be training with Chelsi, spoke with a serious expression.
“If you came here with a light attitude, I recommend you to quit.”
“I am very serious”
“Oh? Sure, Leo’s training has never been easy.”
Just thinking of Chelsi, with whom she had been in a bitter relationship since childhood, would end up suffering, made her happy.
“By the way Celia. What’s your relationship with Leo, why are you two so close?”
Karl asked with a puzzled expression.
Chelsi, who did not yet know about their relationship, pricked up her ears.
“Don’t go and spread rumors. Leo and I are cousins.”
“What?”
“Eh? Brother Leo, was he from Gerdinger?”
“Not exactly Gerdinger. It’s a complicated family matter, so don’t ask me for the details.”
Celia said with a smile.
Knowing that the relationship between aristocratic families is complicated, Chelsi and Karl decided not to ask further questions.
“Karl,” Leo said. “Would you like to join us?”
“I’d love to, but I’ve got to head over to Lumeria soon,” Karl replied.
“For fun?”
“No! I’m going to buy ingredients for potions! Since the recovery potions are selling better than I expected! Hahaha!”
At those words, Celia tilted her head.
“The people from an alchemist family are good at business.”
“Alchemy requires a lot of money!”
Karl made a circle with his finger and laughed.
“How about this? I can make you a cool magic sword or magic staff.”
“Can you make something better than my family heirlooms?”
“Sorry, I don’t know.”
Discussing swords and staffs in front of the famous Hero families.
If you can’t find the correct address, it would take a long time before you realize you’re lost.
Celia giggled.
“Brother Leo, what should we do first?”
“You’re familiar with physical training, right?”
“Of course. I have good stamina! My body is also very flexible!” Chelsi proudly replied, demonstrating her skills by raising her legs in a ballerina pose and showing off her light movements.
In addition, Chelsi jumped around and showed off her light body movements to Leo.
If her basics were solid, she would become a great Battle Mage with her talent, it was clear that even a regular Knight department student would not be a match for her in close combat.
‘She definitely has a reason for wanting to become a battle mage.’
“Among the people I know, there is a battle mage.”
“Really?”
Chelsi’s eyes sparkled.
‘Well, strictly speaking, she’s not a battle mage, and back then there was no such concept.’
During the battle, Luna, who moved at high speed while using multiple casting, could be considered to be the beginning of a battle mage.
‘Well, it could be said that she is not only the origin of battle mages but also the origin of all kinds of modern wizards.’
Leo shrugged.
“Chelsi, what do you think is the most important thing for a battle mage?”
“Hmm… Let me see… High-speed casting, multiple casting, and martial arts?”
Looking at Chelsi, who listed the things that differentiated her from other ordinary mages, Leo said.
“No. The most important thing to a battle mage is…”
“What’s the most important thing?”
“It’s stamina.”
Celia, who was watching everything from the bench, sneaked up from her seat.
“Karl, let’s go.”
“Huh? Where?”
“You said you are going to Lumeria.”
“There is still time. Didn’t you say you weren’t going?”
“I have to go because something urgent came up….”
“Celia. You will also train with me every weekend from now on.”
“I don’t want to!”
“I already wrote a letter to Uncle Jess. And he told me to train you.”
“Why did you do such a useless thing!”
Celia rushed to Leo, grabbed him by the collar, and shook him wildly.
“Listen. Chelsi.” Leo said, ignoring Celia’s outburst.
“Yes.”
“A battle mage should be able to move indefinitely. To do so, you must have steel-like stamina that never wears out. You can’t use buff magic because it has a limit.”
‘He is saying the same thing as the battle mages in our family.’
The Battle Mages of the Llewellyn family practice stamina on a daily basis.
“Anyway, Celia and I are destined to train together.”
“I hate this kind of destiny!” Celia yelled, but Leo paid her no mind.
“From the moment you said you would train with me, it’s my responsibility to turn you into a hero at all costs.”
“Yes! Brother Leo! Let’s do our best to become a hero together!”
Chelsi, who simply took Leo’s words as a motivation for each other, tightened her fists and replied.
“So, from now on, you’ll start training with me?”
“Yes!”
Later, Chelsi would think.
She should have ran away at the beginning.
