E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 89 - Reality

“First participants, please go forward.” Said the teacher.

A young man in neat brownish clothes looked forward. He stood in a firm position while waiting for what he needed to do next.

“What is your vision for the future after obtaining education at this Academy?” Ask one of the promoters.

With a nervous face, the young man immediately answered him.

“A-I want to make magic that can help mine workers.”

“Mine workers?” Ask another promoter.

“Se-like simple magic amplifier, or cheap illumination device..”.

The six promoters looked at each other. Although they did not say a word, they seemed to understand what others meant.

After a while, all the promoters were seen nodding their heads. The teacher who saw it immediately understood what they meant and continued the show.

“For promoters interested in educating this young man, please raise his hand.” Said the teacher.

And result....

‘Oioi.... Is that true?! Doesn't he have the same D title as me? But...’ Leo thought in his heart while putting on a slightly surprised face.

He realized that the vision in front of the young man seemed less useful.

In reality, physical strengthening magic was one of the most extravagant types of Mana magic. Maintaining that magic for over 8 hours of work can be said to be almost impossible.

Then the second one for lighting. Just as Leo always uses today, Mana stones or Light stones that have been augmented with enough Mana will be able to replace the role of a torch in the mine. The price is not too expensive either.

Hence....

Not a single promoter raised their hand.

“Nothing? In that case, you will enter into the guidance of the Witch Council.” Say the Teacher while calling the next participant.

Far from Leo's prejudice, getting support from a Promoter is very difficult. Even from the 8 participants who have advanced, there is only 1 person recognized by one promoter only.

And it was a young promoter named Waine. A man who is considered a genius because he was able to achieve the title of professor at the age of 29 years.

Even so, his experience was still far below that of other promoters. Especially Professor Skalld or the oldest man in the sixth row of promoters.

But nevertheless....

When Selene was called....

Even before He said a word, the six promoters immediately raised their hands.

It shows how much they judge the talent possessed by Selene. And they all know, every there is a figure of the registrant who even has a predicate A before studying....

They will definitely become great figures in the near future.

And as a promoter, they will get a big advantage because their name will always be together with the alumni. Especially if the alumni always make great achievements.

“Selene yes? Instead of you coming with those grandparents, you better come with me.” Said a promoter who had a beautiful face. He is also one of the geniuses who obtained a professor at the age of 31 years.

“Do not want to be fooled. You know I have more experience and knowledge, right? I will meet all your educational and research needs. So you just need to pour your thirst for that knowledge.” Said the old professor while playing his graying beard.

“No-no.... My knowledge in wind magic is much greater than that grandfather.”

All the promoters are seen trying to fight over Selene in order to become her student. And of course, this makes Leo smile.

‘What do I think?’ Leo complained in his heart.

In the end, after a few minutes of debate, the entire promoter calmed down and immediately asked for his goal.

“So, what is your goal to study at this Academy and not Enfartice in the Capital.” Ask one of the promoters.

Selene seemed to think for a moment before answering the question. He even seemed to turn his gaze toward Leo who was behind him as if he was asking for approval.

Seeing those eyes, Leo immediately nodded to accept whatever Selene was doubtful about.

“I want to master magic that can support me in sword and archery. Because actually.... That's how I fight.” Reply Selene.

The reply certainly surprised everyone. How not? The figure who was previously rated as very talented in magic and even had the predicate of A, turned out to be a swordsman and archer?

What's more, his goal was to learn magic just to sharpen his sword and archery skills?

The entire promoter seemed silent at the answer. Then one of them dared to ask.

“Selene, can I see something behind your white hair? Precisely, your ears?” Ask the old promoter.

Selene immediately turned her hair back. It has ears that are pointed upwards and slightly longer than the typical human ear.

“So yes. Half-Elf huh? Well, it's not a problem for us. But that explains your high magic ability and skill.” Reply to the old Promoter while sitting back down.

After a while, the teacher asked the promoters again.

“So.... Who will...”.

This time, not even a single promoter was willing to look at the white-haired woman. Makes Leo narrow his eyes a little.

“What happened? Didn't you all want to recruit him?” Ask Leo with a sharp look.

“And who are you? Dare to ask us that?” Reply Youngest promoter.

Leo's gaze was now becoming sharper and perhaps filled with hatred. However, his goal here is to fulfill Selene's desire to get the education she wants.

But seeing this incident, Leo was very sure. No. gabe.... She finally understood why Selene always covered her ears with her white hair.

“That girl is really talented. We acknowledge that and are eager to accept it. But unfortunately, we do not want to dirty our hands with a Halfling.”

“Where have you lived all this time? Halfling is one of the biggest disgrace in this kingdom.”

“We didn't say he couldn't study here. But we just don't want to get involved with the creature.”

“Given how arrogant the Elf race has been to Humans, I guess our treatment is still too good for their despicable offspring.”

Various insults appear to be thrown right at Leo. As the only person who doesn't understand that. No. gabe.... Leo did not understand. But he just doesn't want to admit it.

As long as one has a high value, even demons will also be employed by him. That's Leo.

But nevertheless....

“That's it? Then it's too bad your name won't go into history.”

This time, the promoters appear to give a look that looks quite angry to Leo.

“What are you, who can say that? We have seen the rise and fall of applicants every year. Even Waine himself was an A rank registrar at the time. Isn't our name already quite etched in history?”

At a time when the situation was heating up between Leo and the Promoters, Selene seemed to just be silent on the spot. Staring at the ground while continuing to hope that his Master would stop defending him.

Because that's the truth.

Most humans did look down on Halflings, whatever race they were.

But nevertheless....

Suddenly....

‘Swuuushh! Tapp!!’

Someone jumped from the next room as fast as possible.

He had a fairly simple appearance with his short black hair that was as long as his shoulder. Thin round glasses appear to decorate his face.

With a blue and black robe, the girl immediately raised her face and looked towards Leo.

‘O-this person?!’

“Sorry but I heard something interesting from the next room. Just because he was born different, you gave him such treatment.... That's why you've all never come forward and can only continue to complain about not getting an important position in Eastfort.” Said the girl while looking down at the six promoters.

The six of them immediately stared intently at the girl.

“Come too, the madman who was appointed professor. I myself do not know what the Head of the Academy thinks of that choice.” Complaints of the old promoter.

“If you're not crazy, maybe your name has been known throughout the academy, Roselia.” Cynical reply to the female promoter.

With a big smile, the woman who was none other than Roselia immediately turned her eyes to Leo and Selene. And as if I knew no boundaries....

“What if that Half-Elf and also this Man are included in my guidance?” Roselia asked back towards the six promoters.

“Just do as you like as you normally would. After all, the Head of the Academy will also definitely protect you.”

“If you understand, then quickly take them and leave here.”

Roselia immediately waved her hand towards Selene as well as Leo, asking that the two of them come with her.

While the teacher who does not expect this incident can only gap the confusion.

“A-is this okay?” Ask the Teacher.

“Tak problems. He had always been like that and the Head of the Academy had always protected him. What is genius? Rather than a genius, he was more like a half-crazy little boy.”

“Hahaha.... Don't say it like that. After all, he had just obtained his degree and became the youngest professor in the history of Aselica Academy right?”

“23 years huh? If only his attitude was a little better..”.

“Aaah, sorry. Please continue with the next player. Let's just say the two participants have been included in Roselia's guidance.

Without Leo knowing much....

He entered into an interesting environment. An environment that would make him one of the most important figures in this world.

That way, Leo and Selene followed Roselia's footsteps as if playing around with both hands crossed behind her neck.

“So you guys have decided to love magic?” Roselia asked in a cheerful tone.
