122.

[5000 years have passed? And reincarnation?]

“That’s right.”

Leo nodded as he looked at Elsi, who wore a confused expression.

[W-wait a moment. Let me organize my thoughts. So, 5000 years have passed since my time, Erebos has been defeated? And you are the reincarnation of Kail, the ‘Surviving Hero’?]

“That’s right.”

[Then how did I come here, jumping across 5000 years?]

“In this era, there’s something called Hero Record.”

[Hero Record?]

“It’s an object that records the deeds of those who have accomplished feats worthy of the gods’ recognition.”

Leo explained about Hero Record to Elsi.

[Then is the current world full of spirits and magical beasts from the past?]

“Not exactly. As far as I know, a spirit from Hero Record crossing into reality like you has never happened before.”

After hearing the explanation, Elsi looked out the window again.

The ominous red moon was nowhere to be seen.

A world filled only with the white moon and beautiful starlight that she had only heard about in stories.

It was definitely the night sky she had dreamed of.

[Seeing this scene, I can’t help but believe your words.]

Elsi, whose black eyes were filled with the starlight of the night sky, turned to look at Leo.

[Then this must be an era of peace.]

“Yes. But I can’t say it’s completely an era of peace.”

[Why is that?]

“It’s true that I defeated Erebos, but he hasn’t completely disappeared. And Tartaros is still intact.”

[I see.]

“So I’m going to defeat them.”

[Then I’ll help too.]

Elsi spoke as if making a vow.

[If this is reality, then I’m destined to be with you.]

Elsi also knew that she was bound to Leo.

[I cannot tolerate such a terrible era coming again. I’ll do my best to help you.]

“Alright.”

[Then please take care of me once again. Kail, no. Leo Flobe.]

“Yes. Please take care of me, Elsi.”

***

From the day he returned from Azonia, Leo took a leisurely rest.

Chelsea maintained good relationships not only with Leo but also with Raina.

Chelsea, who had become quite close to Raina, was listening with interest to stories about Raina’s school days.

“Oh, so you were the empress of Basterra, Lady Raina?”

A ball sport that was still frequently played in combat studies classes.

Chelsea was amazed as she heard stories about Raina’s activities in Basterra.

“Yes.”

“Wow!”

During breakfast time.

Daid smiled as he watched the two enjoying their conversation.

“Your mother is getting along well with your friend.”

“Indeed.”

Chelsea had been monopolizing Raina’s affection lately.

“By the way, Leo. Wasn’t today the day for your homeroom professor’s home visit?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t we need to prepare some kind of welcome party?”

Daid asked with a worried expression.

Professors from Lumern received the highest treatment in any country.

Moreover, Hallind was a famous professor known to everyone.

With such a person visiting and nothing prepared, Daid couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

“Professor Hallind would actually dislike it if we prepared something.”

“That’s right, Daid. Professor Hallind hates such formalities.”

“When he visited our house, we only served him tea.”

Raina agreed with Leo’s words, and Chelsea chimed in as well.

At those words, Daid showed a slightly relieved expression.

After breakfast ended.

Leo, Daid, and Raina waited for Hallind’s visit.

When a servant announced Hallind’s arrival, Daid showed a slightly nervous expression.

Shortly after, the doors of the Flobe Family Mansion opened and Hallind entered with Associate Professor Sena.

Daid stepped forward.

“Welcome, Professor Hallind. We welcome your visit to our main house.”

“Thank you for welcoming us, Marquis Flobe.”

Hallind greeted him politely.

Since they were meeting as a parent and a teacher who taught his child, the atmosphere between them was very serious.

“This is my wife.”

Hallind turned his head at Daid’s introduction.

Then he discovered Raina waving with a bright face and made a strange expression.

“It’s been a while, Professor Hallind. You’ve gotten quite wrinkled, haven’t you?”

“Why are you here, Raina Jerdinger?”

“It’s Raina Flobe now, you know?”

Looking at Raina’s bright smile, Hallind let out a deep sigh.

For some reason, he had a strong premonition that this would be a tiring home visit.

“Why is Chelsea Rwallin here too?”

“Yes! I came to visit Leo’s house during vacation.”

Chelsea answered with discipline.

Chelsea was one of the students in class who got scolded less by Hallind, but that didn’t change the fact that she was still afraid of Professor Hallind.

In fact, Leo was the only first-year who remained calm in front of Hallind.

No, even considering all grade levels, Leo was the only one.

Thus, the home visit began in the living room.

Hallind, sitting in front of Leo, Raina, and Daid, spoke to Sena standing beside him.

“Documents.”

“Here they are.”

Hallind handed documents about Leo to Daid and Raina and said.

“I’ll speak directly to the point. Your son’s qualities are very excellent.”

Hallind continued with his characteristic expressionless face.

“Knight studies, magic studies, summoning studies. He maintains top-tier grades in all three departments. His relationships with those around him are also harmonious. No, rather, his leadership is exceptionally outstanding.”

“Oh.”

Raina exclaimed in admiration and gently patted her son’s head.

While doing so, she carefully read Leo’s evaluation materials that Hallind had prepared.

“I cannot find any clear weaknesses. However, as a teacher, there are three areas of concern. First, the amount of aura, mana, and spiritual power he possesses. He can certainly deliver explosive attack power and has grown compared to the beginning of the semester, but the fact that Leo is relatively weak in prolonged battles remains valid.”

“Hmm.”

Daid nodded.

“Second. The department issue. Right now he’s showing overwhelming ability in all areas, but it’s questionable how long that will last. Of course, it would be ideal if he continues to excel in all areas… but I recommend deciding on a main class to focus on in case that doesn’t happen.”

Hallind glanced at Raina.

“Raina, being his mother, will handle that part well.”

Raina smiled brightly.

“Third. This is just my personal opinion, but.”

Hallind let out a slight sigh.

“Leo is too unhesitant when facing crises.”

“What do you mean by that?”

At Daid’s question, Hallind spoke seriously.

“Exactly what I said. All of Leo Flobe’s achievements during the first semester have been at an astonishing level. He’s not called unprecedented simply because he’s an all-class student. Even throughout Lumern’s entire history, there are probably only a few students who showed such overwhelming ability from their first year like Leo. A fifteen-year-old boy continues to achieve feats comparable to those of heroes.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

Daid wore a puzzled expression.

It was Raina who answered such Daid.

“It can’t be seen as entirely good, Daid.”

Raina looked at Leo with serious eyes.

“Achieving great feats means risking one’s life.”

The subjugation of Chubarn.

The subjugation of the Skeleton King.

The subjugation of Gigantes.

Amazing feats that were hard to believe a first-year had accomplished.

Though they seemed glorious on the surface, it also meant that Leo had risked his life at every moment.

“I haven’t been saying anything, but I’m honestly very worried.”

Daid wore a serious expression, and Raina looked at Leo with stern eyes.

“In Lumern, there’s a saying: Don’t recklessly face trials.”

Trials are an essential stage that must be passed to become a hero.

But trials always come with death.

Hero Academies are places to raise heroes, but that doesn’t mean they recklessly throw students before trials.

Raina, who graduated from Lumern, knew all too well how dangerous the path Leo had taken was.

“Leo. May I ask why you’ve been pushing yourself so hard?”

“I’m sorry for causing you worry. But I didn’t push myself just to push myself. I simply had no choice but to face them.”

Leo spoke calmly.

“It’s true that one shouldn’t recklessly face trials, but… as long as one aims to be a hero, trials are also unavoidable.”

At those words, Raina let out a deep sigh and covered her face.

She too had once dreamed of being a hero.

That’s why she couldn’t bring herself to refute Leo’s words.

Hallind also looked at Leo and let out a deep sigh.

In reality, Leo had rarely acted recklessly.

Except for the school trip incident, most were cases where he had no choice but to face trials.

‘Leo is certainly different from other students.’

All children in Lumern admire heroes.

That’s why they enrolled in Hero Academy.

But in Hallind’s view, Leo didn’t admire heroes.

‘He simply has a goal he wants to achieve.’

He recalled Leo’s words from the beginning of the semester.

‘My goal is the complete annihilation of Erebos.’

At the time, he thought it was just a grand ambition.

But…

‘Perhaps he’s truly aiming for that.’

Feeling goosebumps, Hallind opened his mouth.

“Lumern will do its best to help students achieve what they want. Though there are concerning aspects, Leo is certainly the best student I’ve ever taught. So in the second semester, I’ll do my best to guide him so that you two can worry a little less.”

Hallind bowed his head solemnly.

Sera, who was beside him, also bowed her head.

If a student dreams of being a hero, they cannot be stopped.

That would be an action contrary to the Hero Academy’s purpose.

However, they spared no effort in supporting students so they wouldn’t die.

“Please take care of him.”

“Me too, Professor Hallind.”

Daid and Raina also bowed their heads politely.

The moment their son aimed for Lumern, they had prepared themselves for him to face dangerous situations.

They couldn’t stop that now.

After the home visit ended, Raina spoke.

“By the way, Associate Professor Sera. How is it working under Professor Hallind?”

“Yes. He’s scary but treats me well.”

“Hehehe. Shall I teach you one of Professor Hallind’s weaknesses?”

“Pardon?”

“So when Professor Hallind became my first homeroom teacher…”

“Raina Jerdinger. If you don’t want to stand in the corridor with your hands up, you’d better stay quiet.”

“I’m not a student anymore, you know? And how old am I to receive such punishment!”

Seeing Raina getting indignant, Hallind wore a cold expression.

Watching such Raina, Leo shook his head and Sena’s mouth fell open.

It was the first time she’d seen someone argue with Hallind like that.

Chelsea, who was watching from outside the living room, was amazed.

“Wow. If I tell this story to the kids, no one will believe it, right?”

Chelsea was pleased, saying she had witnessed something interesting.

***

After the home visit ended, the vacation passed by.

Leo opened a letter that came from the Northern Region.

It was a letter from Runia and Eiran, students from Seirun.

‘Hey, you heartless guy! Don’t you have a single letter? Anyway! How are you doing? You’re not slacking off on your studies, are you?’

‘Leo, how are you doing? I’m studying hard every day to go to Lumern as an exchange student.’

“They seem to be doing well.”

Leo, who replied to both of them with a smile, looked out the window.

Now there was only a week left of vacation.

‘The day after tomorrow, I’ll be going back to Lumeria City.’

Leo smiled slightly, looking forward to the second semester.
