Sabotage
Time has passed.
The short and long time of 6 months.
It was time to check the achievements of Lily and Anna, who had been taught by Leon.
The graduation exam is conducted in a similar way to the group assignments.
Five people form a group, and two groups attack the same dungeon.
In a normal dungeon, one boss monster protecting the dungeon core was normal, so it was a battle of two groups competing with each other and who would subdue the boss monster first.
However, since the evaluation was conducted individually, it was not advantageous to form a team with students with outstanding abilities.
Dungeon.
The number of monsters in the enclosed space is limited, and as much as how skillfully subjugating those monsters is evaluated, the same team members become rivals.
The situation Leon was most wary of was when a spy intervened in the same team.
The fact that Leon now has a family and a pretense was something that everyone in the know knew.
And among the academy’s graduates, there are children of the mage family belonging to the Flame magic tower.
If he was to stop Leon’s progress in the Flame magic tower, this graduation test would have been the best opportunity.
But the problem was simply solved.
“Aria skipped?”
“I heard you were in the same grade, didn’t you? I don’t know what happened, but I heard that about three years ago, they increased their external activities and performed splendidly.”
“I went up to circle 4 at the age of 13, circle 5 at the age of 14, and circle 6 at the age of 16 and skipped. It seems that there are real geniuses in the world.”
Leon felt proud of Anna’s words like that.
For the past three years, Leon has been very busy and has not been able to show his face properly at the academy.
In addition, thanks to Arya’s increased outdoor activities, the chance for Leon and Arya to meet face-to-face at the academy was greatly reduced.
Thanks to that, I didn’t hear from Arya, but luckily it seems that they’re doing well.
“therefore? Why did it come up all of a sudden?”
“A request came in that Arya Rothbane wanted to form a team with Master.”
“Aria?”
It’s not bad.
No, considering the magical resonance of Big Freeze that Arya has, her level would not be the level of a simple 6th circle.
Besides, I was worried that I would lose the pass in Leon’s graduation exam in the tower, so it would be a great help if Arya could become a team.
“What do you think?”
“Didn’t your teacher say you weren’t interested in graduating from high school?”
“okay. In a field where the reputation of being an 8-circle wizard has already spread, you will be treated like a savage trampling on sprouts if you take the first place in the academy graduation exam. Above all else, for the sake of my future, it would be better for you to occupy the chief position.”
Even after graduating from the Academy, Leon has no intention of joining the Fire magic tower.
But Lily and Anna are different.
They must actively use the magic they learned from Leon and become powerful men who exert great influence in the tower.
Later, when Leon found the Fire magic tower after conquest of the family, he needed authority in the magical sciences to support Leon.
For them, the results of the graduation exam will be a good stepping stone for them to take a leap forward in a new stage called Mato.
However,
“If you get Arya as a team member, you mean that you have to compete with her too, right?”
Lily and Anna looked unsure of themselves.
They have been learning magic directly from Leon for the past six months.
However, in the end, he could not reach the 4th circle of quantum magic that Leon had set as his goal.
The number of circles formed on their heads was three each.
Of course, the amount of magic power was 1.5 times higher than the Circle of Heart they had half a year ago, but the competition with the Magician of Circle 6, also called a genius, was also unstable.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s not just the amount of mana that you’ve grown over the past six months.”
Although Kyeongji stayed in the 3rd circle, they faithfully followed Leon’s teachings for the past 6 months.
Although it must have never been easy, he succeeded in maintaining the magical resonance for the past six months and absorbing the quantum magic theory taught by Leon like a sponge, throwing away the existing system and forming a completely new magic system.
However, because it is so different from the existing ones, they are anxious because they have not had a chance to use that ability in practice because they are immersed in the absorption of knowledge.
I wondered if it would be possible for them to properly handle the magic of the new system they had learned so far.
“More than anything else, Arya is a strong enemy even if they are not on the same team. Just because she doesn’t join our team doesn’t mean she can’t play.”
“Your teacher is right. Then good. We will accept Arya Rothbane as a member of the team.”
At Anna’s determined voice, Lily also clenched her fists and showed enthusiasm.
Anxiety lurked behind that expression, but that made their decision even more satisfying.
With this, 4 members of Leon’s team were decided.
And the last member had already thought about it.
“Sister Ailee. Please join our team.”
Ailee is also one of the students attending Philo Academy.
And she was also one of the graduates taking the graduation exam this year.
At Leon’s request, Ailee showed a crying expression for some reason.
“What is it, Leon? You knew I wasn’t going to call you…”
When she heard the rumor that Leon was taking the graduation exam, she also seemed to want to be part of the same team.
He was trembling with anxiety in his heart when he refused to speak to him on the day of the exam, even though he rejected numerous offers from those around him with the determination to become a team with Leon.
“If you’re worried like that, your sister can talk to you first.”
“But I already knew you were planning something. I wonder if I’m just interfering and getting in the way…”
Being altruistic is also a disease if this is the case.
No matter how much Leon has plans, Leon is Princess Ailee’s closest aide.
In any case, the priority should be the royal family, who is the most powerful person in the country.
Because that is the rule of this class society.
However, Princess Ailee had prioritized Leon’s plan over herself.
Still, I didn’t want to join another team because I wanted to be on the same team.
‘What the hell are we going to do?’
Leon felt that way, but that didn’t mean he was in a bad mood.
Because he knew very well that Ailee was genuinely thinking of him.
Leon patted her head to comfort Ailee who was crying, and Ailee bowed her head and surrendered herself to Leon’s arms.
It was a natural procedure for the disciples, Lily and Anna, who were watching the scene, to become the flagships.
They are in the same grade as Ailee.
In other words, they had been together for 9 years as classmates at the academy.
However, until now, Princess Ailee, whom Lily and Anna have watched, has always been a mature person.
A woman who can be admired by anyone with a dignity worthy of the name of the royal family.
Because of this, all of the students found Ailee difficult.
Because there was no way I could take a light attitude towards her, who wore an aura and dignity that could not be approached easily.
But what is this?
What the hell are we looking at?
In an instant, the eyes met with Princess Ailee, who was in Leon’s arms.
Lily and Anna were startled, as if they had seen something they shouldn’t have seen, but Ailee’s expression was calm.
It’s just that the shape of his mouth is saying, ‘Please do something you haven’t seen’.
And I understood.
Ailee’s feelings.
It is known in the world that Ailee and Leon are like brothers and sisters to each other.
But were the two actually dating?
Lily and Anna were suspicious, but then shook their heads.
No matter how he looked at it, Leon didn’t seem to have any special feelings for Ailee.
Of course, since Leon is a person who does not know what he is thinking, there is a good chance that he is hiding his emotions, but that does not mean that love between a man and a woman was not felt in the skinship stroking the hair.
‘crush······?’
‘Somehow, somehow, someone like Master…’
Lily and Anna already knew who Leon was.
A person who has only magic, magic, magic in his head.
While receiving direct training from him, he was able to feel the process Leon had gone through to achieve his current status.
Those who were born into the Yongin tribe and achieved their current status only with talent, such rumors are absurd.
Leon was the only one who had accumulated numerous training sessions and finally obtained the status he is today.
There is no room for human emotions to intervene in such a Leon.
There was no room in his mind, because all he had to do was raise the level of magic and achieve his goal.
Lily and Anna felt sorry for Ailee, but somehow they felt closer to her.

The day of the graduation exam came.
Each group can choose which dungeon to attack in the graduation exam.
Of course, even if you choose a dungeon, you will only choose the grade of the dungeon, and the academy will directly procure the dungeon.
And the dungeon selected by Leonzo was grade A.
In fact, the highest difficulty dungeon that can be selected in the graduation exam.
Of course, if Leon came forward, he could attack grade A dungeons without any problems, but Leon didn’t plan on going as far as possible.
What worries me more than that is the opposing team that will challenge the Class A dungeon with Leonjo.
As long as Leon fills his group with completely trustworthy people, the only way to disturb Leon in the tower is by using the opposing team.
And it was decided to be the opposite of Joe Leon, the half-sibling of Anna Forest and the eldest son of the Forest Magician, Catheus Forest, who is the leader.
At the age of 19, he achieved the level of 6 circles and was a promising gifted person in the future who was nominated for the next Kalmatap State.
There is also the case of Gail Tempest, who maintains a good relationship with the Forrest family, so he thought it would be appropriate as a checkpoint for Leon, but Catheus showed a different reaction from Leon’s expectations.
“Leon Farostel! A person who has achieved the ultimate in flame magic with the nickname of a thunder dragon! I’ve been wanting to meet you someday, and it’s an honor to meet you like this!”
As soon as he saw Leon, he approached with a bright smile on his face.
“If it’s not rude, may I ask for a handshake?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Leon held out his right hand with a bewildered expression, and Catheus held out both hands with an expression that he had no time to spare even in death, shaking hands politely.
Is it acting to hide your attitude?
That said, the mental frequency he felt was making waves.
Circle was affected by intense emotions and was hitting the waves.
If he truly harbors animosity towards Leon, his feelings must be revealed.
But Leon felt no hostility toward him.
Then he looked at Anna and said seriously.
“Anna. As long as we are on the same team with Leon-sama’s favor, we should avoid becoming a burden and dragging our ankles.”
“I know. I’ve already listened to scabs on my ears, so please stop.”

Judging from their conversation, Catheus’s attitude was not much different from his usual one.
‘then······?’
Leon turned his gaze to Catheus’s teammates.
However, they only looked at Catheus with envy as he returned from shaking hands with Leon.
Leon has quite a few enemies, but at least in the limited space of the academy, he is gaining immense popularity, and it seems that they are all students who envy Leon.
‘Are there no disturbances?’
Leon was perplexed for a moment, but he put his thoughts together and came to the conclusion that it could be.
Leon’s team includes Princess Ailee, who holds the highest powers except for the King and Crown Prince of the Philo Kingdom.
No matter how much he wants to interfere with Leon, he will not be able to commit an act that endangers the royal family.
I thought that maybe the tower might not know Leon’s plan yet.
Lily, Anna.
The Tempest mage family in the Wind magic tower, and the Forest mage family in the Earth Island Tower.
Leon’s plan to create a link between the two families and climb all the towers.
“Then I will start the graduation exam from now on. The leaders of Team Leon and Catheus, please enter with me in the future.”
However, Leon’s thoughts were shattered the moment he entered the dungeon.
“Well then.”
The magic wave of the dungeon felt from the outside was clearly pointing to A grade, but the moment it entered the dimensional rift, that magic wave changed.
The dungeon creates a virtual space and acts as a passage between the demon realm and the human realm.
A kind of space movement magic that moves the dimension.
The dimensional rift was divided into two, leading to a completely different space.
“Huh! This magical wave is…!”
As soon as Catheus entered the dungeon, he could not withstand the intense magical waves that overflowed into the world and collapsed.
As a magician of the 6th circle, it is not an ordinary dungeon if it is to this extent.
“Class S, no. Is it an EX level?”
Leon made a funny expression on his face.
