Class 5, having enjoyed their allotted free time, reluctantly boarded the teleportation gate as evening approached.
"It was still a fun math trip!"
"Yeah. It was fulfilling."
When Illyana stretched and spoke, Nell also agreed with her characteristic lazy smile.
"Probably no other class in the entire school had a more fulfilling math trip than us, right?"
"Right, right. Who would want to have a joint class with Seiron students?"
Taid agreed, and Karl chuckled in response.
"It was fun, right, Leo?"
Leo nodded at Chelsea, who giggled and asked.
As the entire Class 5 boarded the teleportation gate.
Seiron students appeared through the teleportation gate.
They also planned to return to Seiron via the teleportation gate.
"Everyone from Lumerin, have a safe trip back. I look forward to seeing you again."
Herdium smiled and said, and Class 5 also smiled brightly.
"See you next time! Mr. Herdium!"
Other Seiron students who had formed friendships also greeted them.
Leo, returning to his usual top student demeanor, waved and smiled at Lunia and Eiran, who stood beside her.
Eiran smiled and waved back, and Lunia snorted and turned her head away.
But she glanced at Leo and waved to him.
"Everyone, did you forget anything? We're about to leave."
In response to Sena's words, the students of Class 5 answered energetically.
As the teleportation gate activated, a bright light enveloped them.
By night, the first-year dormitory of Lumerin was bustling with students.
"Hey! How was it for you guys?"
"Us? Haha! Don't be surprised! We actually hunted monsters!"
"Wow, we just did some volunteer work."
They were busy sharing stories from the math trip with students from other classes they were friendly with.
Karl laughed as he headed to the boys' dormitory bath.
"Haha. It's laughable. No other class had a more fulfilling math trip than ours."
He rinsed his body in the air bath and then immersed himself in the large bathtub.
"Ah. I've missed this warm feeling."
During the math trip, they could only shower, so Karl thoroughly enjoyed the luxurious dormitory bath.
Leo was also soaking in the bathtub.
"Move, Warden Taiden. I'm going to use this bathtub."
"You don't know your place, Duran Moira."
"I'm just stating the facts. If my words bother you, prove it with your skills."
"Interesting. I was already thinking about taking you down."
The atmosphere in one corner of the bathroom became chaotic.
"Ugh. Finally, they're going to have a showdown."
The boys' dormitory, which could accommodate many students, had a very spacious bath.
There were many bathtubs.
Among them, there was a particularly luxurious bathtub that was smaller than the others.
It was the right size for four or five people but, for the nobles, it was just the right size for a personal bathtub.
However, few students used this bathtub.
It was because it was designated for certain people.
Specifically, Duran Moira from Class 1 and Warden Taiden from Class 7.
The two, the strongest in the first year, used this spot as their personal designated seat.
"Those guys usually had different bathing times, so they never ran into each other."
As Karl said, the two had different bathing times and never met in the bath.
However, since they returned from the math trip on the same day, the students flooded the bath, and they ended up meeting.
The male students cautiously observed the tense atmosphere created by the two.
They were known as the top students in the first year and were famous for their rough personalities.
Just as a tense atmosphere was building between the two,
"Why don't you just wash together nicely?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Leo.
Leaning back in the bathtub, Leo looked at the two with his head tilted back.
"Why are you fighting over a bathtub seat? You're not kids."
"Are you, Leo Flaub, trying to mediate as a class representative?"
In response to Duran's question, Leo looked indifferent.
"Does it have to be such a grand reason? I'm just saying don't cause trouble."
"If you don't want that situation, you should join in too."
Duran smiled aggressively.
"Wow! As expected, our prince interprets things as he likes!"
As Karl exclaimed, Duran's fierce gaze turned to him.
Karl turned his head away with a sly smile.
Just as the tension was about to reach a breaking point,
"Huh? Why is the atmosphere so tense?"
The bathroom door opened, and someone entered.
It was none other than Abad Levalin.
As the top four first-year male students gathered, the other male students nervously swallowed.
Abad entered the spot where Duran and Warden were having a staring contest.
Abad also used this spot as his designated seat.
Of course, unlike Duran and Warden, he didn't give other students the hint that they couldn't use it.
Rather, other students were reluctant to use the same bath as Abad.
After all, nobles generally avoided bathing with others.
Everyone looked at Abad with blank expressions.
Abad asked with his characteristic smile, and Duran and Warden's faces twisted.
Leo burst into low laughter.
With his laughter, Duran and Warden's faces became even more menacing.
All the male students screamed in their heads.
Thus, the bath incident, which seemed like a prelude to a storm, ended anticlimactically.
[It's wings! Wings! Yay! I got my wings back!]
When Leo returned to his room after bathing, Kieran was flying around the room.
Each time, shining particles scattered around.
"Get a grip. How long are you going to keep this up?"
[Leo! Look! Wings! My wings!]
Kieran flew in front of Leo, showing his back and flapping his wings proudly.
"I've already seen them enough. And it's just one pair out of three, right?"
Leo's reaction was indifferent.
[The great Fairy Prince has regained his power, and you should be more surprised!]
Fairies, being powerful familiars, were almost worshipped by summoners.
But expecting such a reaction was a bit off.
[Yeah, maybe you haven't experienced the power of this body yet! Fine! I'll show you something special!]
"How are you going to show it?"
Leo asked indifferently, and Kieran made a stylish turn in the air before flying to where Piora was eating chocolate without any interest.
[Here's a cocky red chick!]
Kieran pointed at Piora with exaggerated movements, like a magician performing a trick.
Piora pecked Kieran's head with her beak.
Then she stepped on Kieran, who was rolling on the floor, holding his head.
[Move your feet! I'll show you something cool!]
Kieran, who had barely managed to get up, summoned his magic.
He raised his hand and sprinkled glowing dust over Piora's head.
Then Piora's body began to glow with a soft silver light.
It was a spell that summoned another aspect of oneself, used by beings with high-dimensional minds.
Dragons were the most famous for using this spell.
However, it was a spell that fairies rarely learned.
High-ranking familiars like fairies could summon their other aspects using their power, even without magic.
It was too much for Piora, who was still young, but with the help of Polymorph, she could summon her other aspect.
"Why did you learn this?"
'Yeah, this guy was exiled by Silord for causing trouble.'
While Leo clicked his tongue, the light faded.
A girl of about five, wearing a cute red dress, appeared.
Her hair and eyes were a vivid crimson, and her appearance was so adorable that it made you want to exclaim.
[Hehe! What do you think of the power of this body!]
Ignoring the boastful Kieran, Leo rested his chin on his hand.
Piora, whose eye level had changed, approached the mirror with wide eyes.
She seemed to like her appearance and even did a light turn in front of the mirror.
Then she walked over to Leo.
"This is the first time I'm greeting someone like this."
She seemed to be trying to look as dignified and solemn as possible, but unfortunately, her appearance only made her look cute.
"Your contract partner..."
[What do you think! The amazing power of this body!]
Piora, who was about to greet, was distracted by Kieran flying around wildly in front of her.
[Hehe, such clumsy movements.]
Piora stretched out her small hand to catch Kieran but missed.
Feeling frustrated, Piora forgot to greet Leo and chased after Kieran.
Then, she suddenly regained her composure and returned to Leo, elegantly lifting the hem of her dress and bowing.
"I am your contract partner, Piora."
It looked like a child imitating an adult, and Leo burst into laughter.
"My mother said to be polite to my contract partner."
