152.

“A relationship?”

“That’s right. Since your enrollment… No. I’ve been investigating you since before your enrollment.”

Kalian smiled faintly.

“You enrolled as a knight candidate. Given that your maternal family is Jerdinger, it was only natural.”

The fact that Leo’s maternal family was Jerdinger was still not publicly known.

However, it wasn’t particularly difficult for the Principal of Lumern to find out about a student’s family relationships.

“But what’s strange is that you didn’t show any all-class abilities until before enrollment. You only began to excel in magic and summoning after entering Lumern. No, it wasn’t just excelling.”

Leo had reached a level equal to or surpassing the top students of each department in theory.

As a knight, he demonstrated overwhelming technique and aura control abilities.

As a mage, his understanding of magical formulas was exceptional, and in summoning, he actually made a contract with a Phoenix during his very first class.

Even one of these would be too much to simply define as genius.

Moreover, Leo was an all-class who possessed all these abilities.

Meanwhile.

Evidence that Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, actually existed was being revealed one after another.

It started with Azonia’s entrance exam during summer vacation.

Until then, the mainstream view in academia was that the Hero of the Beginning and the Surviving Hero were people with the same name.

But not long after it became known that Kail’s name actually existed in history, the existence of Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, was proven.

“Opinions in academia are divided about what era the statue you saw belongs to and whether it’s based on historical facts.”

Only Leo knew that place was Gardstron.

Runia, Elena, and Hadin didn’t know exactly where it was.

“But at the very least, the probability that Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, might have actually existed has increased tremendously.”

Kalian smiled faintly.

“So I thought you, who possesses the same abilities as Kail, might have some relationship with Kail.”

“A relationship?”

“Have you… ever conquered Kail’s Heroes’ World?”

At Kalian’s question, Leo showed a surprised expression, then burst into laughter.

“No.”

He lied calmly.

If Leo said he had conquered Kail’s world, then Kail’s existence would become certain.

In history, there were only two people who possessed all-class abilities.

Kail and Leo.

‘Though they’re both me in the end.’

Leo sighed inwardly.

‘It’s good that the fact I existed has become known, but it’s not time yet.’

Erebos and Tartaros hate Kail.

On top of that, it was known that they were searching for and destroying the Hero Pages of great heroes, especially Kail’s.

In such a situation, if it became known that Leo had inherited Kail’s power, and Tartaros actively targeted Leo, there was no telling what might happen.

‘They’re definitely watching even now. If I become a full-fledged target in this situation, it would be hard to handle with my current strength.’

His power was still insufficient.

‘I need to reveal the relationship only after I’ve regained at least some of my past life’s power.’

“So you were born naturally as an all-class?”

“Yes.”

“Haven’t you always had a deep interest in Kail? I heard you’re planning to create a club to research the Hero of the Beginning.”

During the first semester, he couldn’t participate in club activities due to departmental schedules, but he had already applied for the club.

At Kalian’s words, Leo shrugged his shoulders.

“Of course I’m interested. The Hero of the Beginning is the only known all-class in history.”

At Leo’s words, Kalian let out a “hmm” and sighed.

Kalian, who had been looking at Leo for a moment, nodded his head.

“I understand. That’s what I came to ask about.”

With a grunt, Kalian got up.

“Your body probably hasn’t fully recovered yet, but you can’t keep missing classes. Start attending from tomorrow.”

“Understood.”

“Then take good care of yourself.”

Kalian left the infirmary.

Elena, who remained in the infirmary, smiled faintly.

“Leo. Are you really not related to the Hero of the Beginning?”

“I’m not.”

Watching Leo speak calmly, Elena narrowed her eyes.

“It seems like there is a connection though?”

“Why do you think that?”

“Woman’s intuition.”

Elena, who smiled faintly, leaned back against the chair and spoke primly.

“Well, if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t pry.”

Saying that, Elena got up from her seat.

“Leo. You said you had a favor to ask of me before, right? What is it?”

“Will you grant it?”

“Yes.”

Watching Elena nod obediently, Leo tilted his head.

“What about the price?”

“There isn’t one.”

At Elena’s words, Leo made a puzzled expression.

“Really? Why all of a sudden?”

“I became curious.”

Elena, who crossed her legs and rested her chin on her hand, smiled.

“About where you’ll go from here.”

Her appearance, looking at Leo with shining eyes, was different from the Elena up until now.

There was something inexplicably innocent about her.

Eyes that purely admired someone.

Though it didn’t suit the usual Elena, Leo thought that appearance was more age-appropriate and chuckled.

“Now you finally seem more your age.”

“And you. Do you know you’re too much like an old man?”

Elena, who frowned and grumbled, asked.

“So. What do you want to ask of me?”

“I want to enter the Forbidden Library.”

At those words, Elena paused.

“The Forbidden Library?”

“Yes.”

“What’s the reason?”

“I want to learn about the history of Hero Record.”

“Because of this incident?”

“No. It’s something I’ve been thinking about since before.”

Elena stared at Leo intently.

He had been trying to investigate Hero Record long before this incident occurred.

‘Could it really be a simple coincidence? Or…’

Elena’s eyes narrowed for a moment.

“Alright.”

Elena nodded her head.

“It’s not something I can decide on my own. But I’ll try to make it so you can enter.”

“Thank you.”

Elena tilted her head as she watched Leo greeting her.

‘Leo Flobe. What exactly is this kid’s identity?’

***

The next morning.

Leo, discharged from the infirmary, headed to his class.

His body wasn’t in perfect condition yet.

The wounds from Erebos’s flames didn’t heal so easily.

Leo felt pain throughout his body and let out a deep sigh.

Since class time was cutting it close, the classroom building corridor was quiet.

Creak-

When Leo opened the door to Class 5 and entered, his classmates’ gazes fixed on him.

“Gasp? It’s the class president!”

“It’s Leo!”

“Hey! Leo! I heard you conquered the Progenitor of the Starry Skies’ world!”

Rumble-!

His classmates rushed over in a crowd.

The students’ eyes were full of curiosity.

And rightfully so, as the World of the Great Heroes was like a dream that everyone yearned to conquer.

Having experienced that World of the Great Heroes, the first-years couldn’t help but look at him with admiring eyes.

“Did you meet Luna?”

“She’s beautiful, right?”

“Say something!”

Looking at the classmates blocking his way, Leo said.

“Can I sit down first?”

“Hey! The Class 5 president is here!”

“Where? Where?”

“Hey! Leo Flobe! Tell us the story!”

Before long, students from Classes 4 and 6 also rushed out, filling the corridor.

When they first heard the news, many students had been eager to hear the story, but as his hospitalization period extended, their curiosity had only grown.

Related information was controlled by Lumern’s upper management.

And since no one dared to approach Elena, the other conqueror, to ask questions, everyone seemed to have been waiting for Leo’s discharge.

Chaos descended upon the entire 1st-Year Classroom Building.

Seeing this, Leo sighed.

“Hmph! Didn’t Elena do most of the conquering anyway?”

“Acting like he’s so great when he was just lucky to be there.”

“If I were with Elena, I could conquer it too.”

Several voices could be heard grumbling with displeasure.

When Class 5 students made fierce expressions at the mocking words from other class students who were snickering.

“You’re talking nonsense.”

A cold voice was heard.

Everyone’s gaze turned in that direction.

There was Duran from Class 1, pushing through the crowd.

Duran looked at those who had been mocking Leo with contemptuous eyes.

“The same guys who tucked their tails during the Gigantes incident sure have a lot to say.”

“What did you say?”

“Are you done talking?”

The students who had been mocking Leo got angry at Duran’s words.

Looking at them, Duran smiled fiercely.

“Want to try something?”

Crackle-

Intense sparks flew from Duran’s body.

Seeing Duran like this, those who had been getting angry flinched and then sneakily glanced around before slipping back into their classes.

Duran was famous for his nasty temper.

He was the type who wouldn’t hesitate to use force in this corridor if things went wrong.

Duran, making a disgusted expression at such people, pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Leo.

Then he narrowed his eyes.

“Leo Flobe. I heard the story. You conquered the Progenitor of the Starry Skies’ world?”

“It just happened.”

Leo shrugged his shoulders.

The surrounding students watched this with tense expressions.

Duran was famous for constantly burning with rivalry toward Leo.

Having overwhelming skills, his pride was also strong.

As such, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate falling behind Leo.

“Isn’t Leo going to challenge him to a duel to prove his skills since he conquered the Progenitor’s world?”

“That guy would totally do that.”

“He’s usually cool and handsome, but when it comes to the class president, you never know what he’ll do.”

“…Iliana. Was that your taste?”

“…! It’s not!”

Class 5 students whispered among themselves.

As everyone made tense expressions, Duran spoke.

“So. How was the Progenitor of the Starry Skies?”

“What?”

“I asked how it was.”

Despite his intimidating expression and voice, Duran wanted to hear about Luna from Leo.

The Class 1 students who had followed nervously in case a fight broke out looked deflated.

“Come to think of it, during the school trip, didn’t Duran buy all the elf items related to the Progenitor of the Starry Skies?”

“He seemed to personally like the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.”

“Since he’s a prince, I guess he needs to do what he wants to be satisfied.”

When Class 1 students whispered, Duran’s cold gaze turned toward them.

Then the Class 1 students fell silent.

Just as the entire classroom building was in uproar.

“What are you doing in the corridor?”

A cold voice was heard.

Everyone’s faces hardened.

“I’ll give you 10 seconds. If you don’t all return to your respective classrooms, today will be quite an enjoyable day.”

“Ahhhhh!”

“Move! Move!”

“Duran! Don’t leave us behind!”

With Hallind’s appearance, all the first-years fell into panic.

The symbol of terror called the Lumerne Wall of Lamentations.

Although no student among this year’s first-years had been expelled by Hallind’s hand yet, his terror remained.

Students who had actually seen others suffer for violating school rules never went against Hallind’s mood.

Class 5 students also hurriedly sat down.

The problem was the students who had left their classes and come to Class 5.

Due to the large crowd, a bottleneck occurred and they couldn’t return to their classes.

Meanwhile, Duran’s figure running along the wall and swiftly returning to Class 1 was like lightning.

After 10 seconds passed, Hallind lightly waved his hand.

The students’ name tags were torn off and flew toward Hallind’s hand.

“Noooooo!”

“Please forgive us just once! Professor Hallind!”

The students’ screams filled the corridor, but Hallind didn’t bat an eye as he entered Class 5 and coldly closed the door.

Bang-!

Thud- Thud- Thud-

While the Class 5 students sat with tense expressions, Hallind walked to the center of the podium and placed down the attendance book.

Then he glanced at Leo once before looking at the class students and spoke.

“There’s an announcement.”

At those words, everyone made puzzled expressions.

“A joint class schedule with students from other schools has been arranged.”

At Hallind’s words, all of Class 5 was surprised.

“What? With students from other Hero Academies?”

At Taide’s question, Hallind shook his head.

“No. Not with students from other Hero Academies.”

“Then?”

Hallind picked up chalk.

Tap- Tap-

After writing letters on the blackboard, he put down the chalk with a thud.

“It’s a joint class with students from the Three Major Class Elite Academies.”

At those words, Class 5 began to murmur.

The Three Major Class Elite Academies.

Knight Academy Icot.

Magic Academy Emerald.

Summoning Academy Scaun.

These are academies that run at the pinnacle of each class.

However…

“For you all, these were your second-choice schools.”

Hallind said coldly.

“And… they might be the schools you’ll end up going to after being processed for withdrawal.”
