The morning at Rosenstark dawned.

As autumn approached, the bright sunlight gradually weakened, and a sudden chill crept in.

The campus became cool and pleasant.

Some of the children, instead of anticipation, had more worry on their faces.

Why are they calling us to a classroom instead of a training ground this time?

Theres something. Something.

If it were another professor, one might expect a leisurely lecture at the beginning of the semester, but the other person they were dealing with was the Hero.

If its the professor, hell never let us off easy.

Of course not. The last time he was away for just two weeks, he came back with some tough training.

Its not that I dislike the start of the semester its scary

The children trembled as they entered the classroom specified in the extreme notice.

The group that arrived at the academy last night, including Ban, Luke, and Leciel, were also there.

Their expressions were uniformly tense.

It was because of the relentless barrage of questions from the children until this morning.

Hey, what mischief have you been up to?

Did you really have a showdown with the Demonic Church Leader?

How about the Great Snow Sea? Is everything frozen all the way to the horizon?

The series of events that occurred in the north had been reported quite extensively.

Given the large-scale movements of troops, it was difficult to keep things under wraps, and there wasnt much to hide anyway.

It was a perfect victory against the Demonic Church Leader, who had been a thorn in humanitys side for so long.

Moreover, the young heroes who showed brilliant performances during the process were excellent material for propaganda.

Thanks to this, the children who had gone to the north had become somewhat famous.

While Gerald and Karen seemed quite satisfied with the attention they received, the others were not so pleased.

In particular, Ban, who had experienced measles once during the operation to subdue Enoch, was extremely frustrated.

Ah, its tough.

Five minutes before the start of class.

The Hero always arrived at the classroom on time.

In order to rest his eyes for a moment, Ban laid his head on his desk.

However, unlike his tired body, his mind was too restless.

It was inevitable, given the question thrown by someone among his classmates last night that lingered in his head.

Is Cuculli okay? Why couldnt she come with you?

Cuculli.

Bans eyes faintly trembled.

He recalled the last time he saw Cuculli.

Standing against the backdrop of the frozen Arctic, waving goodbye to her friends.

Cuculli didnt leave until the ship they boarded disappeared from sight.

With all her family gone, what kind of time was the girl who ascended to the throne spending?

He didnt know for sure, but it probably wasnt as joyful as being at the academy.

Leciel also seemed quite melancholic.

Ban glanced at the front row.

Leciel, seemingly indifferent to the noise in the classroom, was staring blankly out the window.

Although they were always bickering, Ban knew better than anyone that they were closer than anyone else.

The sight of Cuculli making silly jokes while Leciel tried to maintain a solemn expression was quite common.

She, too, was trying to adapt to Cucullis absence in her own way.

Look at her eyes.

Huh?

Those who seek to exploit her empty heart are cowards.

Seriously, please shut up, Gerald.

It was a moment when Ban was scratching his head at the secretive whisper from the neighboring seat.

Thud-

The door of the classroom opened, and the Hero appeared with Pia.

As usual, he was dressed in formal attire, exuding elegance and balance as he stood at the lectern.

The children admired the appearance of the Hero they hadnt seen in a long time.

His powerful presence seemed unaffected by the frequency of their encounters.

No matter how many times you see him, hes still awe-inspiring.

Tap-

The Hero stood in the center of the platform and looked around at the children.

More professors were in favor than those opposing.

Even young professors who staunchly supported the Hero and Yussi, as well as seasoned professors who had been criticizing him in the past, showed enthusiastic responses, detached from campus politics.

If this approach can shed light on our teachings

I always thought diversity was the direction Rosenstark should pursue.

The fine-tuned professors teaching specialized fields were very eager to have a stage where the children could fully utilize their teachings.

Rather than opposition, praise was sent to the Hero and Yussi, who proposed and implemented the agenda.

Youre quite adept at understanding what people want.

Ironically, the response from the mercenary groups was more lukewarm.

It seemed like they were having their food bowls taken away, so there was considerable opposition.

However, the merit of building a friendship with the Hero, Yussi, and fostering friendly relations with Rosenstark and Glendor outweighed the hopelessness of the deal.

Of course, the decisive blow in negotiations came from the Hero.

I will take care of your pending missions.

Pending missions were a headache for every mercenary group.

They referred to tasks that had already received a considerable advance but were deemed unavoidable to resolve.

However, upon closer inspection, these missions were often impossible for the mercenary group to complete, or the potential losses outweighed the gains.

Giving up would tarnish their reputation, yet pursuing them might lead to even greater losses.

Accumulating such pending missions became a significant burden for mercenary groups.

When the Hero offered to resolve them free of charge, negotiations proceeded swiftly.

After all, no matter how legendary the pending mission may be, once the professor steps in, its over.

The incidents that poured in over the past semester.

To Pia, who watched the Hero resolve them, he seemed nothing short of a problem-solving deity. S

he looked at the Hero, who had reached the end of his explanation, with a relaxed mind.

Well, then, well depart in 30 minutes.

Departure?

The children looked at the Hero with question marks hovering over their heads.

He added a brief explanation, which seemed inadequate compared to the content.

Before the official implementation of the new internships, we have received several preliminary missions. They are your practice grounds.

Gerald couldnt help but cry out involuntarily.

Why announce it on the same day!?

Preparing for combat quickly is also part of your training, Gerald.

The Hero said with a slight smile, seeming to show no intention of hiding his enjoyment anymore.

Then, assemble at the main gate in full gear in 25 minutes. Thats all.

The childrens minds started racing.

They had to run back to the dorms grab all their equipment and make it back to the main gate in 25 minutes.

How fast did they have to run?

Eek!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of gathering their belongings, a leisurely voice intruded upon them, just in the next moment.

Oh, I forgot.

Said in such a nonchalant tone that the children naturally followed suit, until the next words came.

Regarding this item.

After sufficient discussion, detailed instructions on the appropriate personnel, compensation, and methods for missions are nearing completion.

The academy plans to accumulate separate points based on the difficulty of the missions, and corresponding differential rewards have been prepared.

The separate points system.

The Hero dropped a bombshell.

For the one with the highest accumulated points, Im thinking of granting them a Blessing.

!!!!!

You all have heard about Severance, havent you?

The children felt like they were losing their minds.

* * *

Tap-tap-

Gerald, Ban, and Luke were rushing back to the dormitory in a frenzy.

Gerald looked at Lukes back as he led the way and suddenly recalled a part of the announcement.

One month before the first trial.

During the preparation process, gratitude is extended to those who have generously cooperated and supported us.

Firstly, to the Aureum Mercenary Corps

If its the Aureum Mercenary Corps, isnt it Lukes mercenary group?

But why is there no mention at all?

Gerald tilted his head in confusion.
