First of all, Peter from Class S.

He was a mage who specialized in wind-attribute magic, and he was also a fighter with proficient close combat skills.

The mages exclaimed as they watched his silhouette dancing in the wind, and casually neutralising the demons and classmates alike.

Shinomi of Class S.

She had the lightning attribute, an inherited magic that allowed her to manipulate electricity and wind at the same time, and the appearance of lime-colored lightning swirling like a storm was more beautiful than violent.

Furthermore, all of the students in Class S used unusual magic or had unusual performances.

Among them, the one that stood out was, of course, Edna.

Humans who could deal with the natural attributes of elves, the metal attributes of dwarves, and the light attributes of angels, were countless. One could find quite a lot of them even in Stella right now.

But, a human who could handle all three attributes.

It could be said that this was a truly unprecedented case in history.

“Ah, Hae Won-Ryang and Mayuseong have met.”

At the words of the supervisor, the screen naturally focused there.

“Well ….”

Not long after the training began, two of the best prospects have already come into contact.

“It looks like they are having a conversation.”

But, after a short time, the duel began immediately.

Tung!! On the screen, Mayuseong circulated the mana on his toes and dashed toward Haewon-Ryang.

"Hyper Jump…”!

Not just once, but consecutively.

"Oh, I can’t believe he activated the Class 3 Hyper Jump consecutively."

"Is that even possible at the age of seventeen?"

Normally, a mage entered the Class 3 in his mid to late 20s or early 30s.

Mayuseong, on the other hand, was freely using Class 3 magic at the age of seventeen.

When he lifted the wand slightly, the ground beneath Haewon-ryang trembled, and a pillar of earth soared. At the same time, a lightning bolt struck it, and walls of flames rushed in from all sides.

However, Haewon-ryang did not stay still either. He let his body fall back using the shock wave of the impact and then stretched his palm forward.

An ice sheet spread on the floor, and dozens of sharp icicles rose up.

The temperature around Mayuseong instantly plunged down, and he used flames to melt the ice while avoiding it.

In response, Haewon-ryang summoned a more powerful ice pillar.

"Both of them have three attributes…!"

"I can’t believe it."

A normal mage could only use one attribute, and with repeated training, it was possible to deal with two attributes.

But, starting with the three attributes, it was impossible without innate talent. They were born with a special talent.

Boom! Boom!

The elements collided with each other, creating a colourful mayhem.

For a duel between students as young as seventeen, this was an exciting aspect that could make your hands sweat.

The victory did not come easily.

Haewon-ryang had already set up his magic circles, prepared everything, and lured Mayuseong into the trap, but the opponent could not be easily defeated since they were equally matched.

However, the victory began to lean more and more toward Haewon-ryang. In the first place, he had prepared thoroughly with the intention of pushing Mayuseong even by giving up some points!

In the end, the battle was about to end with Mayuseong’s defeat

Suddenly, a huge demon broke through the sky.

"That’s…!"

It was a kind of ‘hidden boss,’ an event prepared by professors as a joke.

No one told them about it, nor did it give any reward, but the demon screamed and flew between Mayuseong and Haewon-ryang, collapsed, and died.

A girl appeared on the corpse of the strange bird whose wings were frozen, and sparks were flying all over her body.

"Eisel… Morph…"

Hidden bosses were never found by chance. It must be accompanied by insight, sense, judgement, and reasoning ability. Even if she had found it, defeating it would have been difficult, but she was successful in hunting it alone.

"Oh, were you fighting? I’m sorry to disturb you!"

Eisel recovered a blue feather from the demon's body, hopped down, and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Mayseong also disappeared, and the dungeon’s topography had twisted and changed, making it impossible for Haewon-ryang to follow him.

"Hmm, the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Morph, the traitor…"

"… I don't know how far his descendant will go."

"That’s too bad. If her father hadn’t been like that, her talent would have blossomed even more."

The mages uttered a word or two, then went silent. There was an unbearable story behind the death of Grand Duke Morph, so continuing this topic was burdensome.

And just in time, another fierce battle broke out.

Lee Hanwol was also quite interested. He wanted to monitor it.

"She is the princess of the Adolevit family."

"Who’s her opponent? I’ve never seen him before."

"Eh, it doesn’t look like much fun. Hey, Lee Hanwol, please change the channel."

“Wait a minute.”

"Tsk, tsk."

While complaining, the old people focused on the screen

"Well…?"

"That magic skill…… Flash…?"

They were able to witness a very unusual student.

“That student’s name is Baek Yu-Seol , a very unique student who uses Flash as a specialty.”

On the screen, Hong Bi-Yeon swung the staff and scattered her unique explosive flames everywhere.

Although there was no technique or discernible control, the output and destructive power were too overwhelming for a 17-year-old to display, catching the mages’ attention.

However.

Not a single flame could strike Baek Yu-Seol.

He continuously used Flash to dodge, and used the constantly changing terrain to his advantage.

He was unbelievably fast. His speed, his direction, his distance.

The boy was in complete control.

When the flaming arrows were repelled by the Point Stick he was holding, exclamations erupted.

"No, is it even possible to look at an arrow with your eyes and strike it…?"

Of course, most trained mages would be able to easily repel that level of magic arrows.

Mages always had mana on their skin, and the mana reacted to flying magic on its own, sometimes as a defensive mechanism.

The only important factors that determined ones defence were his ability to circulate and control mana.

However, no one would be able to see or strike the arrow.

Even more so if the distance was so short.

The Archmage or higher mages who had been openly expressing their admiration during the battle between Haewon-ryang and Mayuseong had now gone silent.

A situation was unfolding before them that they could not comprehend even with the knowledge and values they had acquired throughout their lives.

‘Flash’ had an infinite number of possibilities, but it was uncontrollable magic.

For hundreds of years, countless scholars had attempted to master this fundamental magic, but they all failed, dying or being maimed and abandoned.

And in the midst of this uncertainty, a student appeared, controlling the Flash like his own limbs.

"This….."

Everyone was silent.

It was a different issue compared to those with overwhelming talents such as Mayuseong, Haewon-ryang, and Eisel.

It was worth it. The value of magic with infinite possibilities of Flash.

"By the way… Why isn’t he using any other magic skill and just playing around?"

"If he had used other magic skill, the duel would have ended sooner."

"I don’t understand."

As everyone was asking the same question, suddenly, a voice crackled and a man’s voice intervened.

"No. That’s a serious fight."

“……..!”

Lee Hanwol’s heart was pounding and almost fell. Very familiar, yet an unfamiliar voice.

The principal of Stella Academy, which was said to be the best academy in the world.

A Great Sage of the Class 9, Eltman Eltwin.

"It was sincere from the beginning. Can’t you see it with your eyes?"

At his words, the old mages of the Senate, the board of directors of the Mage Tower, and the mages of the Great Tower fell into silence.

"Interesting. I read a fairy tale a few days ago, and the way that student was fighting… It reminded me of the ‘Knighthood’ that existed in the old days."

Eltman mumbled as if speaking to himself. The mages were however dumbfounded by those words.

In this age of magic, the knighthood which disappeared along with the cold weapon?

But, how could they refute that? The opponent was a great sage, one of only ten in the continent.

The mages remained silent even after Eltwin vanished without a word. Because the word ‘knighthood,’ as mentioned by the Class 9 Great Sage, kept echoing in their minds.
