Chapter 22 - Our Lumian has changed (2)
Late in the evening, Professor Karen was reviewing a notebook containing evaluations of the cadets he was in charge of.
Although it had only been a month since the semester began, there were many parts to revise. As the cadets were young, their learning speed was incredibly fast. Karen updated the children's evaluations with a joyful heart.
‘Ruth Gallen, improved stamina and increased proficiency in thrusting. The flaw of his vision narrowing when excited remains.’
‘Lena Willington, her will has become noticeably stronger. The flaw of her unstable sword path has improved. Seems to require lower-body focused training.’
‘Teoro Shutgaren, his weakness in lower defense has improved, and the transition between offense and defense has become smoother. Growing steadily. No advice needed for now.’
Еn ũm̌ а̌. і d
Which areas had grown and by how much, what flaws still remained, and what advice he should give to improve them.
As he wrote down each detail meticulously, time had passed before he knew it.

But it was fine. He had confirmed that the majority of the cadets were breaking their limits and growing, and as a professor, he could not be more proud.
Watching the dawn break outside the window, Professor Karen took a sip of tea and thought.
‘All the children have improved, but among them, Class E’s growth is particularly remarkable.’
In truth, Class E was the class Professor Karen had worried about the most.
Е̃n̄ ù m̈ а
Although they had an outstanding talent in Teoro Shutgaren holding the fort, they lacked children to support him from below. The consensus among all the professors was that their average skill level was the lowest among the six second-year classes.
But it was different now.
The current Class E had achieved such rapid growth that the assessment of them being the lowest among the second-years was now laughable.
All the children participated in class with more enthusiasm than before, and even after class, they voluntarily remained to devote themselves to training.

Even the few cadets who used to have dazed eyes were now swept up in the surrounding atmosphere, swinging their swords one more time. It was a good phenomenon.
How on earth did this happen? What had moved their hearts?
Е ńũ mа̊
Professor Karen knew the answer.
He gazed at one spot in his cadet evaluation notebook.
‘Lumian Calard.’
The biggest troublemaker of the second year.
A failing student, an underachiever, a country bumpkin. Every word used to describe him spoke volumes about the kind of evaluation Lumian had received until last year.
But not anymore.

The weak-willed child who had received the professor's pity and his classmates' disregard had grown beyond recognition during the vacation and had achieved yet another leap in growth during the semester.
He had come to possess the virtues of a knight and a leader simultaneously.
‘He trains harder than anyone, showing an attitude of leading by example. Not only that, but he also shows a considerate side by taking care of his classmates who lack will and skill.’
Thanks to Lumian's gentle leadership, Class E showed such steep growth that it took Professor Karen by surprise.
The children did not seem to realize it yet, but they would probably be astonished after this midterm evaluation. And then they would come to believe in themselves more and grow into even more splendid talents.
With a gentle smile on his lips, Professor Karen held the tea in his mouth and thought.

‘It is a relief. He is doing so well that my past worries feel pointless.’
In the case of geniuses who have realized their own talent, they often become uncontrollable eccentrics.

In Lumian's case, the possibility was even greater. He had thought that the stress accumulated over the past year might explode all at once and have an adverse effect.
Fortunately, Lumian did not do that.
On the contrary, he showed a surprisingly exemplary attitude, exerting a positive influence even on those around him.
This was something that even Teoro Shutgaren, the top talent in Class E, had not been able to do.

‘Thanks to Lumian, our overall strength has increased significantly, so there should be no problem having an exchange match with Class B this time.’
He would have been worried in the past, but now, he was expectant.
With a pleasant expression, he picked up his pen again to draw up the matchups for the midterm evaluation.

“Damn it!”
“What, Class B?”
Е̂ n ũ.ḿа
“The entire class's win-loss record affects our grades too? Crazy, this is too much, isn't it?”
The cadets of Class E voiced their complaints after checking the method for the swordsmanship midterm evaluation.
It was understandable, as the average skill level of the second-year Class B was far superior to their own.
Cal Krone, Teoro Shutgaren, and Boomer Simpson, who were considered the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the year, were not in that class.
However, the 4th through 6th-ranked students were all gathered in Class B, and those supporting them from below were also skilled individuals who could by no means be ignored.
To have to compete one-on-one with such people, with only the side that won more receiving bonus points, it was only natural for groans to emerge.

“Damn it, if it's one-on-one, they should evaluate us individually. Why are they considering the whole class's grade?”
The big guy's complaint was particularly loud.
He prided himself on having above-average skills. Thus, the thought that he might be held back by less skilled cadets naturally followed.
He shot a fierce look at Freckles.
“Ugh, am I going to be screwed because of this bastard too?”
“I-I'm planning to do my best, at least······.”
W е̃ b n о v́ е̌l̀ Enů m â
“What good is doing your best! When your skills are terrible! Damn it, we've lost. How are we supposed to beat Class B?”
The big guy continued to grumble, and the other cadets of Class E stared at him with hardened expressions.

They did not feel good, but no one stopped him.
It was because most of them were thinking negatively, just like him.
‘To think I have to suffer because of those guys······.’
‘Damn it, it's not like I want to be bad at this. As if they themselves could beat the top ranks of Class B.’
E n ŭ ḿа̌. іd̀
The atmosphere sank for both the top-ranked and bottom-ranked students, each for their own reasons.
In the knight department, the weight of the swordsmanship evaluation was absolute. The Class E cadets wore dejected expressions at the unexpectedly disadvantageous evaluation method.
Except for two people: Teoro, who was confident of getting a good grade regardless of the bonus points, and...
‘If I step up now······ it would be pretty cool, wouldn't it?’

the fabricated model student, Lumian Calard, who was currently lost in his role-playing.
‘That big guy, he's quite useful.’
Ẅе b n о v́e l Е́ñ u̇m̄ā
Watching the big guy whine like a child, Lumian smiled inwardly.
He was truly a magnificent character. If he stepped forward and showed a good side after such a villain appeared, the effect he could achieve would be doubled.
Of course, that was only if he could lead the situation well.
If he failed to turn this gloomy situation into a hopeful one, he would just become a guy who stepped up without any sense.
‘It's okay. I can do it.’
Lumian took a deep breath and steeled his heart.

It was definitely possible. Thanks to his efforts so far, his image had risen considerably, and his relationships with the other kids had also improved.
Above all, he had swordsmanship skills. For knight cadets, there was no weapon that wielded as much influence as swordsmanship skill.
Lumian believed in that.
He slowly took a step forward. As he slipped between the big guy and Freckles, he naturally became the center of attention for the Class E cadets.
“I······ think we can win.”
“What, huh?”
Ё ǹ u̇ mа̄ .і d
The big guy was flustered. His mind went blank and he broke into a cold sweat as the top student of the class suddenly refuted his words.
However, Lumian had no thought of messing with him.

He just wanted to look cool.
He turned his gaze to the other children and continued to speak, maintaining the gentle expression he had practiced.
“Of course, I know the Class B kids are skilled, but I don't think we need to have a bad atmosphere already. We've been working incredibly hard lately, haven't we? Even I am different from last year. Ah, this suddenly feels like self-praise, it's embarrassing.”
Lumian scratched the back of his head and gave a bashful smile.
Е̂ňu m̄ a
He appeared much more approachable and full of openings compared to the other top-ranked cadets.
But that attitude made him seem more friendly to the other kids.
“Anyway, um, what I want to say is······ that there's a high enough chance we can win. No, we can win. I know I'm lacking, but I'll help you all more during the remaining week.”
“······.”

“S-so if we all cheer up together, wouldn't that be good? Haha, hahaha. I really think we can win······.”
He continued speaking awkwardly and crudely, as if he had not often stood before others.
W̃ӗ b́ ṅ о̌v̊ êl̇ Ě n̂ u m а́
There was no force in his voice or expression, a situation where someone who did not know him might have snorted in derision.
But the kids of Class E knew Lumian.
They knew how hard he had worked.
They knew how amazing his skills were.
And they knew how much his help contributed to improving their skills.
Therefore, even his appearance, which might seem weak-willed at a glance, came across as reliable. Rather than a strong and intimidating tone, his will was conveyed more deeply into their hearts without any resistance.

‘I should also put a little Aura into my voice······.’
One more little trick was added to that.
In his past life, when Lumian gave speeches in front of knights, he would subtly imbue his voice with energy as he spoke. It was a high-level technique, but using it made it possible to produce a more trustworthy voice.
“I think we can do it too.”
Teoro chimed in to support Lumian.
Looking at the kids staring at him, he casually added one more word.
W̊е́ b n̊о̊v е̃l̇ Ёn um ӑ
“If Lumian says it can be done, I think it's possible.”
With those words, he left the spot.

It was a matter of course that he exchanged a look with Lumian before leaving.
He thought to himself.
‘He's getting pretty good at knowing when to step up.’
Feeling proud of his pupil's growth, Teoro walked away quickly.

Now that he had given his support, it was time for him to get out of the way.
“Yeah, fuck, we can do it.”
“That's right. What are we lacking? Lumian is right. We can win.”
“That's right. And there's still a week left. We just have to work harder than those Class B bastards for the remaining time.”

“I'm going to go train right now.”
“Me too! Ah, Lumian! Can you possibly check my thrusting?”
W̌е̄ bñ ӧ vе̃.l Ë n u m å
“Me too, me too! The part where I counterattack after defending keeps bothering me······.”
“Teach me how to deflect an attack while turning sideways!”
The atmosphere had changed.
Teoro had fanned the spark ignited by Lumian into a large flame. The blazing heat spread among the Class E cadets.
Watching the kids approach him, Lumian gave an innocent smile.
He singled out one female student from among the many cadets and spoke.

It was because she was the prettiest.
“I'll help Emilia first. I'll help everyone else as I find the time. Let's make sure we win.”
“Yeah!”
“Alright! We can do it!”
The Class E cadets, each with an enthusiastic expression, ran towards the training ground.
From a distance, Professor Karen watched them with a smile.

After helping the cadets until late at night, Lumian returned to his dorm and replayed the day's events in his mind.

It was not bad. It was pretty good.
The deliberately projected awkward yet pure, and at the same time, confident appearance had made his image even better.
The gazes of the girls had also changed. Among the clearly deepened favor, it seemed like one or two might be feeling something more for him.
‘It might be a misunderstanding, but anyway, this is good. A good trend.’
Wеḃň o v е̌ l Ӗnūm а
Lumian, who had been lost in all sorts of delusions for a moment, shook his head to clear his thoughts.
Delusions were nice, but today he planned to devote himself to Aura cultivation for the first time in a while.
'Though it's not that significant······.'
Still, it was the first midterm evaluation, so he thought it would be better to pay at least a little attention.

Lumian scratched his cheek and thought.
‘If I work hard all night tonight, I think I can catch up to Professor Karen's level.’

It was not a thought a knight cadet could have, but he was serious.
