228

It was evening when Selia entered the Imperial Mage Library with Leo’s knight order.

The people in the Imperial Mage Library showed surprised expressions at Selia’s visit.

Since Selia was such a famous figure, there was no one in the Empire who didn’t know her.

However, since the mages knew that she rarely entered the Imperial Mage Library, they couldn’t help but show puzzled expressions at her appearance.

And they looked at the Slayer Knight Order accompanying such Selia.

“Jerdinger’s trainees?”

“Are they the trainees who enrolled in Lumern this time?”

“What? Did they come to show off?”

Displeased reactions burst out from here and there.

At that reaction, the Slayer Knight Order showed flustered expressions.

In the Rodren Empire, not only Jerdinger and Rwallin, but knights and mages also had strong rivalry consciousness.

Thanks to five new Lumern students coming from Jerdinger trainees this time, all knights belonging to the Rodren Empire were in a festive mood.

On the other hand, the mages were looking at such knights with displeasure.

“Miss Selia, is it okay for us to be here?”

When Martina asked carefully, Selia chuckled and swept back her hair.

“Yeah. We just came to meet Leo. There’s no need to be intimidated. Rather, you can enjoy these gazes.”

‘Miss Selia is amazing too.’

To tell them to enjoy it when the stares are this piercing.

It was when Martina was clicking her tongue.

“Where do you think this is to come here so shamelessly?”

Chelsea walked over with heavy steps.

Seeing such Chelsea, the Slayer Knight Order became greatly tense.

‘Chelsea Rwallin!’

She was a big shot who was the subject of many rumors even within the Jerdinger family.

“I came to pick up Leo.”

“Leo oppa is talking with his great-aunt.”

Chelsea, who answered curtly, glanced at the Slayer Knight Order.

“Are those guys Leo oppa’s knight order who enrolled in Lumern this time?”

“That’s right.”

“Then I’ll be seeing them often from now on.”

Avad walked over from behind Chelsea.

‘Even Avad Rwallin!’

As big shots appeared one after another, the entire Slayer Knight Order couldn’t help but become extremely tense.

These were the seniors who formed the main axis of Lumern’s golden generation.

It was when various gazes were crossing.

“How unusual. To have three people together in the Imperial Mage Library.”

At the voice heard from behind, everyone’s gazes turned in that direction.

A girl with brilliant golden hair was walking over, accompanied by imperial knights and mages on both sides.

All the mages who had visited the Imperial Mage Library knelt down and bowed their heads.

The Slayer Knight Order also knelt and showed knightly courtesy.

Selia, Avad, and Chelsea didn’t kneel, but bowed their heads and showed the courtesy of subjects.

It was the appearance of Shasha, Rodren’s next emperor.

“Have you come, Your Highness the Princess.”

Avad, who had the highest external status among those here, greeted the princess as a representative.

Selia, Avad, Chelsea, and Shasha were childhood friends who had been together since they were young and had a close relationship.

In private, they spoke casually, but in public settings, they spoke formally.

Watching Avad extend his hand and kiss Shasha’s hand, Shasha smiled.

“Avad is always so elegant whenever I see him.”

“You flatter me.”

“Ugh. So cheesy.”

When Shasha spoke playfully, Avad answered slyly, and Selia stuck out her tongue slightly.

Chelsea glared at Selia with sharp eyes.

Although they were future power holders who would gradually lead the Empire, they were inevitably boys and girls in their mid-teens.

It was when they were joking around like that.

“By the way, what brings Your Highness Shasha all the way to the Imperial Mage Library?”

“I came to meet Leo Flobe. To invite him to my Lumern enrollment celebration party.”

“You came personally for that? It’s something that could have been done by sending someone…”

“From now on, I’ll be receiving a lot of help with school life from Leo Flobe, the Phoenix summoner, as well as all of you.”

Shasha, who had been smiling shyly, asked.

“So where is Leo Flobe?”

“He’s currently in a meeting with the vice head of the main family.”

“I see. Then shall we wait for a while?”

With the princess’s appearance, the Imperial Mage Library moved busily.

It was when Leo’s knights were tensely trying to line up next to Selia.

“You’re also enrolling in Lumern this time, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct, Your Highness the Princess.”

Martina bowed her head as a representative.

Seeing such Martina, Shasha smiled brightly.

“Please take care of me as a classmate. Please make sure to attend the party too.”

“It’s an honor, Your Highness.”

Martina showed proper courtesy.

As a Jerdinger trainee, she had properly learned etiquette education, so there were no unnecessary gestures.

It was then.

Someone who appeared to be Shasha’s attendant approached and spoke quietly to Shasha.

Shasha, who heard the report, opened her eyes wide.

“What? A duel? With Ajonia’s representative?”

***

“Heh, Black Rabbit. You finally feel like dueling with me.”

Ar stood in the middle of the wide open field with a proud expression.

Looking at such Ar, Leo said.

“Didn’t I tell you just a moment ago? I’m dueling to see how well you handle Arron’s water abilities.”

“Of course!”

Ar puffed out her chest proudly.

“I’m handling them perfectly!”

“Well, we’ll see about that.”

Leo raised his wooden sword.

Seeing such Leo, Ar lowered her stance as if she would leap out at any moment.

Like a cat targeting prey, she placed both hands on the ground and raised her hips.

‘Is this the first time dueling with the Black Rabbit like this?’

Ar’s eyes sparkled.

‘The Black Rabbit’s skills that I saw during the Ajonia entrance exam before were amazing.’

After that, Leo also rose to the position of Lumern’s youngest student council president.

‘And when taking the entrance exam, he was amazing too.’

Her ears perked up and her tail swayed.

Ar, displaying the battle-loving nature characteristic of beastmen, bent her knees.

Seeing such Ar, Leo moved his steps.

Step-! Whoosh-!

That became the signal, and Ar charged.

Ar, who disappeared from her spot as if vanishing, closed the distance with Leo at tremendous speed.

The superior physical abilities unique to beastmen combined with the power of aura.

Whoosh-!

Arga swung her hand.

Leo swung his aura-infused sword toward Ar’s incoming fist.

Clang-!

A sound like iron colliding rang out.

Kaga-ga-ga-gak-!

Sparks flew from Ar’s hand as she grabbed Leo’s sword.

Kwak-!

“…!”

Ar’s eyes widened as Leo pushed her back.

She hadn’t fallen behind in aura power.

‘I lost in pure physical strength.’

Ar snorted.

‘Amazing!’

Due to racial characteristics, humans inevitably have inferior physical abilities compared to beastmen.

But Leo had overturned such racial traits.

‘Exciting!’

Ar’s eyes sparkled.

It didn’t matter that she was overpowered in strength.

There were plenty of students among Ajonia’s peers who were stronger than Ar.

Nevertheless, what made Ar the representative of her year at Ajonia was her flexibility and speed.

Swoosh-!

Ar jumped from her position, her heel aiming for Leo’s arm.

Kwak-!

Stagger-!

Leo’s knee buckled as he blocked Ar’s attack.

As Leo tried to counterattack, the claws on Ar’s other hand gleamed sharply.

Whoosh-!

As Ar swung her hand, Leo deflected the attack with his remaining hand.

Whirlick- Thwack-!

Ar escaped from Leo’s grip, performed a somersault in the air, and landed on the ground.

“Yah!”

And took an attacking stance.

Leo tilted his head at the stinging sensation he felt on his cheek.

Ar licked the blood on her fingertips and smiled like a cat.

“Hmm.”

Leo smiled.

“Impressive.”

“The Black Rabbit is amazing too. To be at that level without even showing your real skills yet.”

“That goes for both of us, doesn’t it.”

Whoosh-

Flames of aura rose from Leo’s body.

Watching Leo, Ar clenched her fists and trembled with excitement.

‘She’s planning to get serious. Then I should too….’

Whoosh-

Golden aura rippled from Ar’s body.

Seeing this, Leo narrowed his eyes.

It was an all too familiar aura.

A friend who had stood at the forefront in impossible battles.

‘Arron’s aura.’

Accordingly, changes came to Ar’s body as well.

Her eyes became sharp like a cat’s and her claws grew even sharper.

It’s basically called beast transformation, but there aren’t major changes in appearance.

The beast characteristics that were already there become more enhanced and physical abilities rise overwhelmingly.

“Grrrrr-!”

A cat’s purring sound rumbled from Ar’s throat.

‘She’s coming.’

The moment Leo thought that.

Kwak-!

The ground Ar was standing on caved in with a thud.

Leo’s transcendent dynamic vision quickly tracked Ar’s movement.

But before his body could react, Ar’s kick struck Leo’s shoulder.

Kwang-!

Leo was sent flying and crashed into the wall.

This place was the Magical Experiment Chamber attached next to the Imperial Mage Library.

Therefore it was spacious, and since it was late, there was no one using it.

‘But if this much noise was heard, people might come.’

Thud-thud-thud-!

Leo broke free from the wall and hurriedly ducked his head.

Kwang-! Crackle-crackle! Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gang-!

Ar’s fist struck where Leo had been.

Cracks appeared in the wall before it crumbled down.

‘She’s definitely a monster.’

Leo clicked his tongue.

Overwhelming physical abilities.

‘It’s definitely Arron’s beast transformation ability.’

Leo watched Ar charging at him like a berserker with claws extended and teeth bared, then closed his eyes.

‘Though she can’t use it properly yet.’

Swoosh-

Leo’s eyes opened.

Ar flinched for a moment and hurriedly distanced herself from Leo.

And raised her fur while being wary of Leo.

Ar broke out in cold sweat.

‘For a moment I glimpsed Arron-sama’s shadow from the Black Rabbit….’

The image of Arron she had seen directly in the Heroes’ World flashed by.

Ar shook her head vigorously.

‘It’s an illusion, an illusion.’

She had been overwhelmed by his presence.

Thinking that, Ar released even more powerful aura.

Golden energy tinged Ar’s aura.

‘I’ll settle this with the next attack!’

She was dominating the fight.

‘I need to defeat him quickly before he uses magic or summoning!’

Whoosh-!

Ar closed the distance with Leo.

In that instant-

Crack-!

Tendons bulged in Leo’s hand.

Whoosh-!

The moment Arga reached Leo’s vicinity.

Grab-!

“Nyahak?”

Leo’s palm covered Ar’s face.

Crash-!

In an instant, Leo slammed Ar into the ground.

“Sorry.”

Under the moonlit night sky, Leo apologized to Ar, who wore a dazed expression.

“This is my first time using this ability too. I can’t control my strength properly.”

Leo, who had subdued Ar in one strike, got up and looked down at his mangled right hand.

“If I use this wrong, I’ll destroy myself.”

His arm was swollen from being unable to withstand the explosive power of aura.

Ar called out blankly to the sighing Leo.

“Black rabbit.”

“What?”

“Were you a wolf, not a rabbit?”

What entered Ar’s eyes was Leo’s glowing golden right pupil.

It reminded her of the eyes of a mature wolf beastman.

And Ar thought it looked very similar to the eyes of a certain beastman she knew.

‘Lord Arron.’

Leo chuckled as he watched Ar’s dazed expression.

“Wolf my ass. I’m human. I was just imitating a friend. Though I can’t even reach his toes.”

Leo had obtained three conquest rewards from Arron’s World previously.

Elsi. Arron’s breathing technique, and Agon’s book.

Agon’s book could be said to be the original version of the aura cultivation method that Arron used.

And based on this book, after long research, Leo became able to use Arron’s awakening ability that he had obtained from Arron’s World.

‘I can use that guy’s power like in my previous life. Though it’s only partial and I end up like this.’

Leo looked at his tattered right hand.

‘Still, I can imitate that guy now.’

Leo’s eyes returned to their original color.

Then he said.

“It seems like instead of me transferring schools, you should come to mine?”

“Huh?”

“You’re being controlled by the hero’s awakening ability.”
