201

[Leo Flobe! First place finish!]

Watching Leo cross the finish line in first place, Cheira, who was in charge of commentary, shouted in an excited tone.

Afterwards, as Duran and Eliza also crossed, Lumern’s riders took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

Seirun’s riders had Eiran eliminated by Leo, and other riders were also eliminated by Chloe and Chen Xia.

Leading overall even in elimination points, the 1st year team competition was decorated with Lumern’s overwhelming victory.

This was the first victory in the 1st year team competition since the current 5th years.

As a result, enthusiastic cheers poured out from the Lumern spectator stands.

“Leo! Duran! Eliza!”

The 1st years praised the three of them.

It was when the Lumern side was in a festive mood.

“Gasp! It’s Runia El Runda!”

“Get away!”

As Runia approached, the Lumern 1st year students scattered in shock.

This was because they had seen Runia attacking Leo with a murderous aura during the obstacle race.

While everyone was swallowing nervously, Runia gave the Lumern 1st years a gentle smile.

The Lumern 1st year students who had been frightened by seeing Runia determinedly attacking Leo hesitated.

Thinking about it, since it was a race where the pride of rival schools was at stake, there was no choice but to make fierce attacks.

Watching Runia acting like a perfect honor student, the Lumern 1st years looked at each other and whispered.

“She’s not scary at all?”

“She’s actually really pretty.”

“How should I put it, she’s a perfect honor student.”

The Lumern 1st years who didn’t know the detailed circumstances were completely won over.

In fact, even at Seirun, except for students in the same class or some upperclassmen, there weren’t many students who knew Runia’s true nature.

In that situation, Runia, who had arrived in front of Leo, said.

“Leo, talk with me for a bit.”

“Should we?”

Leo, who had been sitting and resting, got up with a grunt.

And coming to a place where only the two of them could talk, he asked.

“What’s the matter?”

“Please cheer up Eiran. She’s too dejected right now because of you.”

Runia sighed and pointed to Eiran sitting on the Seirun side.

Having become a rider representing her grade but being naively defeated by Leo, she was currently in a very dejected state.

At those words, Leo scratched his cheek and approached Eiran.

Other students were comforting Eiran, whose shoulders were drooping.

Eiran had not properly adapted to school until the first semester, but now it was different.

After meeting Leo, she had pulled herself together and proceeded with her academic life.

As the students in advanced Class 1 had also changed a lot from that time, she had adapted well to the new environment.

As a result, she was now firmly recognized as the second-ranked 1st year at Seirun.

As Leo approached, several Seirun students glared at Leo sharply.

‘What? Why did this guy come here?’

Especially the gazes of several male students were not kind.

Due to her timid but kind personality that made her take good care of others, Eiran had become quite popular within Seirun.

“Eiran.”

“Leo-nim?”

At Leo’s call, Eiran flinched and raised her head, then drooped her ears.

At the sight of Eiran looking even more dejected than before, the hostility of the Seirun students grew even stronger.

“You’ve grown a lot, haven’t you?”

“Huh?”

“I heard you dodged attacks from Duran and Eliza? That’s really amazing.”

Leo smiled and praised Eiran.

At those words, Eiran’s ears perked up.

Eiran, who had been looking up at Leo with wide eyes, blushed slightly.

“R-really?”

“Yes.”

Watching Leo smile brightly, Eiran beamed.

“Leo-nim was cool too!”

Eiran, who had regained her energy, stood up and began chattering away.

Watching that scene, the Seirun students made subtle expressions.

Especially the male students’ expressions were distorted.

Watching that scene, Runia let out a small sigh.

‘Eiran is too weak against Leo.’

Runia was worried about the upcoming Lusejeon.

***

After the 1st year team competition, which could be called the opening match of Lusejeon, ended.

Various competitions unfolded afterwards.

Showing off their respective fields and specialties, students from Lumern and Seirun appealed their presence to the public.

Although it was an event where inter-racial harmony and school pride were at stake, it was also a place to announce the excellence of hero candidates to the public.

Hero candidates were the very symbol of future peace.

The first day’s schedule had ended.

Late evening after the third day’s schedule had ended.

Most students were asleep due to fatigue from Lusejeon.

It was when Leo was also about to lie down on his bed to sleep.

Knock- Knock-

The sound of knocking on the window came from outside.

Leo, who had gotten up, approached the window.

And seeing the bird standing outside the window, he made a puzzled expression.

‘Snow Bird?’

It was a low-grade magical beast that lived in cold regions.

When Leo opened the window, the Snow Bird entered the room, left a rolled-up letter envelope it was carrying in its feet, and then flew away with a flutter.

Despite the fairly strong wind blowing, it was not affected at all, which was typical of a magical beast.

Leo made a puzzled expression and opened the letter envelope.

“An invitation?”

The sender of the letter was none other than Seirun’s vice principal.

‘To Seirun main school, the Starry Library?’

During Lusejeon, Seirun opens the school’s facilities to Lumern students as well.

The Starry Library was the same, but there were usage time restrictions.

The Starry Library.

A place like the heart of Seirun where all kinds of materials about star magic that elves had accumulated over the past 5000 years lay dormant.

Being invited to such a place outside of usage hours, Leo couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

‘I can’t ignore this, can I?’

Leo, who scratched his head, immediately changed clothes and headed to the Starry Library.

Normally he would have been restricted by administrators, but whether it had been discussed in advance, Leo was able to reach the front of the Starry Library without any particular restrictions.

Creak-

Leo opened the door of the massive Starry Library and entered.

Dim mana lamps were illuminating the interior, making it quite dark.

However, Leo walked through the interior of the Starry Library without much difficulty.

“Welcome, Leo Flobe.”

After a moment, a clear voice was heard.

Flash-!

The interior of the Starry Library was brightly illuminated.

And in the center of the Starry Library, they could see an elven woman with silver hair and golden eyes sitting there.

Beside her stood a tall elven gentleman.

Leo could easily tell that the one who had spoken to him was a dragon.

“Hello.”

When Leo bowed his head slightly in greeting, the elven gentleman’s eyes twitched.

“Show more respect, Leo Flobe. Do you know who this person is?”

“You’re Vice Principal Nergzia of Seirun, aren’t you?”

“Knowing that fact, you still take such an irreverent attitude?”

“Birieus. Don’t you think you’re being too strict?”

When Nergzia narrowed her eyes, the man called Birieus spoke without hiding his displeasure.

“Nergzia-nim. I still don’t understand. Why we must accept a human into Seirun.”

Birieus looked at Leo.

“Just because he was lucky enough to interpret the Progenitor’s magic, to accept him as a member of Seirun when he’s merely human.”

Birieus Jerkin.

A graduate who had graduated from Seirun five years ago and was now at the forefront of Hero Dungeon conquests.

Leo looked at Birieus’s eyes watching him and narrowed his own eyes.

‘I’ve seen these eyes before.’

A gaze similar to what he had seen from some Seirun students when he saw them in the first semester.

It resembled the Seirun students from back then who were convinced they were a step above the Lumern students.

‘No, it’s fundamentally different from those kids.’

Birieus’s gaze was even more blatant.

Leo knew eyes that were exactly like this.

Eyes intoxicated with racial superiority.

‘The same eyes as the High Elves.’

“Birieus, I thought I allowed your attendance on the condition that you wouldn’t bring up such topics?”

Nergzia pressed her temples as if she had a headache.

“I apologize, Nergzia-nim.”

“I don’t want to hear excuses. Get out.”

Birieus bowed his head to Nergzia, who was showing her displeasure, and left the Starry Library.

Even while doing so, he didn’t stop glaring at Leo until the very end.

‘I never thought there would be such an elf in this life too.’

The Seirun students with their excessive pride in their school seemed cute in comparison.

“Ugh- that guy’s problem is that his head is too rigid in that direction.”

Nergzia covered her face with her hands and groaned, then took a deep breath and smiled brightly.

“Anyway, welcome, Leo Flobe.”

“What’s the reason you wanted to see me?”

“Aren’t you upset?”

When Leo showed a calm demeanor, Nergzia asked with a slightly surprised expression.

“I’m used to that kind of thing. I just think of it as a dog barking.”

Watching Leo chuckle, Nergzia exclaimed in admiration.

‘As expected, he has an extraordinary character?’

Nergzia rested her chin on her hand and spoke.

“The reason I wanted to see you is simple. That longsword made from dragon bone that you received. I sent that.”

“I’m using it well.”

“Good. Then why do you think I sent such a gift?”

Nergzia crossed her arms with a meaningful expression.

“Because I want you to come to Seirun!”

“Are you telling me to transfer schools?”

“That’s right.”

Nergzia grinned.

“I’ll be honest. Leo Flobe, I covet your talent. You’ll definitely become the most outstanding among the next generation of heroes who will lead the era.”

Nergzia stood up from her seat and approached Leo.

“I greatly respect the great King of Wisdom, Risinass-nim. I want to create great heroes like Risinass-nim who can subjugate the flames of disaster and Tartaros.”

Nergzia’s golden eyes gleamed.

“What do you think is the reason Lumern has recently fallen behind Seirun?”

“Because the Seirun kids study better.”

“It’s because of me.”

Nergzia shrugged her shoulders.

“As Seirun’s vice principal, I actively supported the Seirun students. Now Seirun isn’t just ahead in simple competition with Lumern. Even compared to Azonia and Demian, Seirun is far ahead. In other words! It’s the most prestigious of the prestigious!”

Nergzia smiled meaningfully and extended her hand.

“If you study here, you can rise to higher places, Leo Flobe. To become the best, you must study in the best place. I, Seirun, will make you a hero whose name will remain in history.”

Watching Nergzia display her confidence, Leo said.

“I like our school though.”

“Hah. I knew you’d say that. Then I’ll tell you this fact specially.”

Nergzia grinned.

“I’m a dragon.”

“….”

“Not just me, but all the vice principals of the Hero Academies are dragons. And currently, Riben-senpai, who is Lumern’s vice principal, isn’t very interested in supporting students. That old man is an aged dragon who’s at retirement age. Of course he’s experienced, but he’s different from me with my youthful vigor. You’ve been chosen by a dragon. How about it? Don’t you want to come to Seirun even more?”

“Mellina-nim said that the fact that each Hero Academy’s vice principals are dragons is absolutely top secret, so wouldn’t it be a big problem if you reveal it carelessly?”

“Ah, of course if Lord finds out it would be big trouble… what did you just say?”

Nergzia’s eyes widened.

“You know Lord?”

“Yes. I’ve even met him directly a few times.”

Watching Nergzia’s mouth open and close, Leo said.

“If you’ve said everything you wanted to say, can I go to sleep now?”

For Leo, who had no intention of transferring, there was no reason to continue the conversation any longer.

“Wait! Wait! Hold on!”

Nergzia urgently called out to Leo.

“Do you think I’d tell you to transfer to Seirun empty-handed?”

Nergzia pulled out a small case from her chest with a triumphant expression.

And she handed it to Leo.

Leo, who received it, made a puzzled expression.

“Open it.”

When Leo opened the case, there was a small, old piece of paper inside.

“It’s a fragment of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies’ Hero Record. A fragment that can manifest the Heroes’ World.”

At those words, Leo showed a surprised expression.

“Are there relics left by Luna-nim?”

“Yes. Well, to be precise, nothing remains in physical form.”

Nergzia grinned.

“It’s an extremely recently discovered fact. Those who have learned ‘specific’ Star Magic can manifest the Heroes’ World of this Hero Record.”

At those words, Nergzia approached Leo, put her arm around his shoulder, and spoke in a subtle voice.

“If you come to Seirun, I’ll give you the opportunity to conquer a great hero’s Heroes’ World.”

Nergzia took the Hero Record fragment from the case and placed it in Leo’s hand.

At that, Leo hastily stepped back.

Based on previous cases, the Heroes’ World could suddenly open again.

“What? Why are you so surprised?”

Nergzia showed a bewildered expression at Leo’s reaction.

“It’s nothing.”

Leo showed a flustered expression.

And regaining his composure, he asked.

“What is the Star Magic that serves as the activation condition?”

“That’s a secret.”

Nergzia smiled confidently.

“How about it? Doesn’t it pique your interest?”

At that question, Leo made an indifferent expression.

“No.”

“Huh, why not?”

“If I come, Academy life seems like it would be tough. Look at that elf from earlier.”

At Leo’s words, Nergzia made a flustered expression.

Certainly, there are quite a few students at Seirun who have racial supremacist mindsets.

“If you’re done talking, I’ll be going first.”

Leo bowed his head slightly.

And he left the Starry Library.

‘It seemed like my hand touched it earlier, but why didn’t Luna’s World activate? It’s fortunate, but could it not be Luna’s World? But he definitely said it was Luna’s Hero Record?’

As he left the Starry Library, Leo fell into deep thought.

Watching that figure, Nergzia returned the Hero Record to the deepest part of the Starry Library while making a regretful expression.

‘That little one is quite stubborn. Does he have exceptional affection for his school? Well then! He needs to have that much integrity to make persuading him worthwhile!’

Nergzia burned with even more motivation as he closed the door to the innermost part of the Starry Library.

Creeeeak-! Thud-!

Darkness fell over the innermost part of the Starry Library where the Hero Records were stored.

Crackle-

In that moment, gray sparks flew from Luna’s Hero Record.
