The Lumerian students looked at Leo with puzzled faces, while the Seirun students glared at him with stern expressions.
"Interpretation... was wrong? What do you mean by that, student Leo Flaubert?"
Herdium asked with a smile.
But there was a coldness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Leo scratched his cheek and said,
"That magic won't activate."
"Of course not. This is an incomplete magic, so it wouldn't activate anyway."
"Huh?"
Leo was taken aback.
He then realized that the gazes of the Seirun students, including Herdium, were not friendly.
'What does a guy who specializes in aura and summoning know about magic?'
Lunia also looked at Leo with a bewildered expression.
"Ha! You seem so arrogant, thinking you can use magic similar to the magic of the stars! This is the legacy of our ancestors, a magic that couldn't be interpreted! After countless elf mages managed to restore it to its current form, you say it's wrong?"
The elf boy who had been scolded by Leo shouted angrily.
'Ah... This was a lost magic?'
Leo realized his mistake and looked embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Lunia was startled by the boy's words.
'Wait? Magic? I'm sure Leo used aura and spirit power?'
"Student Leo seems to have a deep understanding of the magic of the stars. That's interesting. I wonder what the magic of the stars looks like through human eyes."
Herdium extended the chalk with a cold voice.
"If our elves' interpretation was wrong, would you show us your interpretation?"
'Tsk. I can't not show it.'
He hadn't thought that this basic magic of the stars hadn't been interpreted yet.
'Well, I might not know. This magic was created by Luna after the magic of the stars was established.'
The magic of the stars used by elves today was fundamentally different from what Luna used.
After all, the essence of the true magic of the stars was passed down not to the elves but to Kyle.
'I died before I could pass it on to another elf.'
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the essence of the true magic of the stars was severed with Kyle.
The magic of the stars used by elves today was merely a copy reconstructed based on the spell formulas remembered by Verkia, Luna's disciple, and the magic books left by Luna.
'Impressive that they managed to implement it this far despite its incompleteness.'
Given this situation, it wasn't strange that Leo didn't know about a magic considered basic.
Basic only by Luna and Kyle's standards.
To the elves, it was a completely lost magic.
Leo, blaming himself for the mistake, stood up and approached the blackboard.
Meanwhile, the Lumerian students were shocked.
'Ah! Why did you do that, Leo?'
'If you, the class representative, embarrass yourself, it's a big deal!'
'Gulp! Professor Halind's eyes are shooting lasers!'
Halind, who was observing from behind, also gave Leo a menacing look.
Leo's actions were incredibly rude.
The students of Class 5 clutched their heads in distress, while the Seirun students glared at Leo, wondering how well he could do.
Herdium, with his arms crossed, took a step back and watched as Leo began to solve the interpretation.
The sound of the chalk echoed quietly.
Tap!
Leo filled in the missing parts of the broken spell.
Naturally, the spell formulas of the magic of the stars that the elves didn't know were used in the process.
'What kind of interpretation is that?'
'It looks like the magic of the stars, but it's an interpretation I've never seen before?'
'It's a completely strange interpretation, isn't it?'
The Seirun students looked at Leo's interpretation with puzzled expressions.
Even Lunia, who boasted the highest magic skills, looked bewildered.
'Does such a spell formula exist?'
None of the Seirun students understood the importance of what Leo was writing on the blackboard.
Instead, they were more and more confused by the increasingly complex magic spell formula.
Only one person, Herdium, was trembling as he looked at the blackboard.
Tap!
Finally, Leo put down the chalk and stepped back.
"I'm done."
Halind, with his arms crossed, stared at Leo.
Knowing little about the magic of the stars, Halind couldn't evaluate Leo's spell formula.
Halind turned his gaze to the side and saw Herdium, whose face was filled with surprise.
Herdium's body was trembling.
The magic of the ancestors, which countless elf mages over thousands of years couldn't interpret, was a magic that had been considered incomplete.
Herdium, who had spent his entire life researching this magic, perfectly understood Leo's spell formula.
So he knew.
'The magic was perfectly interpreted!'
***
"Student Leo Flaubert. How did you do it?"
Herdium brought Leo and Halind into a small room next to the grand hall and asked bluntly.
Halind also looked at Leo with surprised eyes.
Receiving their gazes, Leo pondered for a moment about what to say.
'The best thing to do is to simply say I interpreted it.'
Saying he was Kyle or that he learned magic directly from Luna would be pointless and dangerous.
"I have a deep interest in the magic of the stars and have been researching it thoroughly. So I've been studying this magic for a long time."
"This isn't a magic that can be interpreted just because you have an interest in the magic of the stars."
Herdium adjusted his glasses and asked sharply.
Halind answered the question.
"Leo Flaubert is not just a student with a deep understanding of the magic of the stars."
"Then what?"
"This student is actually a user of the magic of the stars."
Herdium's face showed surprise at Halind's words.
"The magic of the stars? A human? No, it's not impossible for humans or other races to use it, but... at such a young age?"
The magic of the stars is a magic system created by Luna.
Over time, it was customized for elves, making it difficult for other races to use compared to other magic systems.
Even if they could use it, they needed a high level of mana proficiency, making it hard to use at a young age, and even if they did, its power would be reduced.
'But this student can use the magic of the stars at just fifteen years old, in a human body?'
"However, just because you are a user of the magic of the stars, interpreting the magic... can you explain the process of how you interpreted it?"
In response to Herdium's question, Leo began to explain the interpretation on a piece of paper.
As he watched Leo's explanation, Herdium's eyes grew more and more astonished.
'Maybe if the ancestor had interpreted it, it would have been like this?'
Leo's interpretation was so natural and perfect that it made him think.
When Leo finished, Herdium, holding the paper, trembled.
"Student Leo Flaubert... what kind of magic is this? Have you ever used it?"
'I haven't used it myself, but...'
Leo scratched his cheek and said,
"It's a magic to make flowers bloom."
"Flowers?"
Herdium and Halind looked puzzled.
"Yes."
"Amazing. I never thought that this magic, from which countless elemental magics were derived, was simply a magic to make flowers bloom."
Thinking about the ancestor's whims, Herdium muttered in a bewildered voice. Leo used the magic.
A warm light bloomed from Leo's palm, and soon a flower blossomed in his hand.
"It's not just a simple magic to make flowers bloom. During the Age of Catastrophe, almost all flowers were extinct."
Herdium looked at the flower in Leo's hand.
"To make flowers bloom, you need fire, wind, water, earth, and light."
Leo smiled as he looked at the flower in his hand.
"Perhaps to the founder of the Constellation, flowers were something special?"
'Read this! Read this! Kyle! I finally completed the magic to make flowers bloom!'
'Why did you create such a magic?'
'Why flowers? They're pretty, aren't they? I want to bring back a world full of flowers someday. Do you want to learn it?'
'I don't need it.'
Looking at the flower in his hand, Leo recalled the past.
He had learned it half-forced by Luna, but he never had a use for it.
'So I end up using it in this life.'
The magic to make flowers bloom, the one Luna loved and cherished the most.
As a basic magic, it contained the essence of all the magic he had built.
'What expression would the elves have if they knew that Luna created the magic of the stars to complete this magic?'
Recalling Luna's bright smile, Leo reminisced about the past.
"Indeed! This magic might contain the deep meaning of Luna, who loved nature."
'No, that guy just liked flowers.'
Leo shook his head at Herdium's arbitrary interpretation.
"Anyway, student Leo. I need to have a brief conversation with Professor Halind. Would you mind studying on your own like the other students?"
"Yes."
'It passed without any major issues.'
Leo sighed in relief and left the room.
"Our student was rude. I apologize."
"No, no, Professor Halind! On the contrary, we are grateful! To think that the ancestor's magic, which we thought was incomplete, was actually a completed magic! This is a great discovery!"
