Stella's Student Council President, Miro Yoon.
He was a second-year student, ranked 19th, and a student of Class S.
He was also a member of the prestigious Alekteran Viscount family, truly an elite among elites, who had climbed up to this position following a course of excellence.
However, it was not by his own will that everything had been arranged like this.
‘Ah... What is it again…’
Miro Yoon looked at Ben, who had come to find him, with an evident expression of annoyance.
"You're messy. Just like your surroundings."
Ben sat on a large sofa and gazed curiously at the fireplace installed in a corner of the student council room.
It was quite unique to have a fireplace in a high-rise tower with no chimney.
"Messy... It's rude to the other members of the student council."
“I said it in a euphemistic way because there are other students from the student council. You should appreciate it."
“Should I be grateful for the curse…?”
Yawning, Miro Yoon sat in front of Ben.
"I have a lot of work to handle, so get to the point quickly."
"Special Training for underclassmen."
"....Hmm?"
Miro Yoon, who was sipping his coffee, slightly opened his eyes as if he had heard unfamiliar words.
Well, since his eyes were usually drowsy, there wasn't much difference.
"Grant permission. The target is Baek Yu-Seol from the first year of Class S."
"Hmm... Didn't you dislike chaos-like things? No, you actually seemed to have a strong aversion to them."
"That's right. There were more than a few times when I wanted to kill all the seniors and everyone else."
"Then why are you doing this?"
"Because I hate chaos."
Miro Yoon couldn't understand what he was saying, but Ben was simply stating the truth.
Among the many reasons for chaos, the Special Training for underclassmen was the worst, like a trashy form of chaos.
Under the pretext of educating underclassmen, there were cases where self-esteem was thoroughly trampled in front of peers and everyone else, to the point where they couldn't recover.
No first-year student could defeat a second-year student under any circumstances.
Even if the second-year student belonged to Class 2 and the first-year student belonged to Class 3, it was the same.
The gap that emerged from experience was insurmountable with mere ability.
However…
'But maybe he’s different.’
Baek Yu-Seol had a surprisingly rich experience for his young age.
Even the underclassmen of Class S acknowledged his strategies and experiences, indicating that he had something special about him.
Moreover, his skills…
He seemed unaffected by class distinctions.
The Magic Sword he used was just a common weapon for ordinary people. Cheap Magic Swords couldn't even pierce through a Class 1 shield, and at best, it could leave a scratch on a Class 2 shield or a Class 3 shield.
However, Baek Yu-Seol single-handedly stabbed and killed a Class 5 Necromancer with a magic sword.
How did he do it?
That question had been lingering for a long time.
From the beginning, he was extraordinary just by freely manipulating Flash, one of the uncontrollable magic skills, and walking the path of a knight without using any magic.
It was more about accepting rather than understanding.
That was why Ben decided to use Baek Yu-Seol. It wouldn't be too bad for him either.
Baek Yu-Seol seemed to be laying the foundation for eliminating chaos, so it would be better to expand the scope and punish those despicable villains who truly enjoyed chaos.
"In the Underclassmen Training, a first-year student defeats a second-year student."
Although they couldn't completely eliminate chaos... It seemed like a pretty good scenario to start with.
"Alright. I'll allow it. I don't know what you're thinking, but do well."
"Thank you. This is my gratitude."
Miro Yoon received a coupon handed to him by Ben.
[Ultra-Hot Tonkatsu Restaurant]
[Squid Rice Bowl Coupon]
Where on earth was this Tonkatsu restaurant, and why of all things, a squid rice bowl coupon?
After handing it over, Ben coolly disappeared, and Miro Yoon let out a long sigh.
There was still a mountain of work to be done, and time had been wasted. Just as he was about to get up with the intention of tackling the piled-up tasks, someone else entered.
It was Professor Gerald, who had become the supervisor for the first-year exams.
"Oh, Miro Yoon. Are you busy right now?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's good. Please accept this."
It seemed like he disregarded the mention of being busy.
"Huh, what is it?"
"It's a student thesis submission report."
"Did you come up with a paper worthy of submission to the conference for this exam as well?"
Stella's exams were extremely difficult, and in order to solve them, students would often write explanations and solutions at the level of a thesis.
Occasionally, there were students who completely skipped writing a paper by discovering entirely new principles or developing new formulas.
It seemed like there might be one of those students this semester as well.
"Yes, Baek Yu-Seol, you know?"
"..."
Of course he knew.
They were just talking about him until now.
"Baek Yu-Seol again? What is it this time?"
"Take a look at this."
Miro Yoon received the thesis documents compiled by Gerald.
[Design of Prokitex’s Stacked Circuit Design]
Magic circuits, which were frequently included in the exams for first-year students, were interpreted by students in their own ways each year, but it was rare for something outstanding enough to be considered a thesis to come out.
"Hmm..."
He slowly scanned through the solution written by Baek Yu-Seol, and soon, his tired eyes widened.
"This is... amazing? He managed to reduce the equation for the inverse design chain by half. And with a very simple formula!"
Gerald's words, as he retched, went unheard.
In Miro Yoon's mind, there was only one word floating around: genius.
Apart from that, nothing else was explained.
Stacked circuits were already a complex concept that numerous scholars had worked on and refined through iterations.
While there was no such thing as 'perfection' in magic, it had still reached its most efficient formula.
But to push that formula even further...
Could a student achieve that on their own?
"With this level, he might even be able to participate in the 'Aslan Seminar'!"
"Oh... Aslan Seminar..."
Miro Yoon was at a loss for words at the professor's remark.
"Well, he turned out to be more remarkable than I thought."
The name Baek Yu-Seol was certainly familiar. Even as a first-year student, he had been involved in many incidents and stood out with his exceptional actions, so it was natural to know him.
But to reach this level...
"Hmm... the Special Training for Underclassmen. I'm usually not interested in such troublesome events, but if Baek Yu-Seol is involved, it might be fun to go and see."
