304

“Wow, this is really chaos. Total chaos.”

Cal, wearing a patient gown in Demian’s infirmary, clicked his tongue while reading the newspaper.

“It’s a natural reaction. The Giant King, who hasn’t shown himself for thousands of years, has appeared. Yum-“

Runia said while eating apples cut prettily into rabbit shapes on the table.

“You’re unexpectedly skilled with your hands.”

When Driana also spoke while stabbing an apple with her fork, Arga rolled her eyes.

“What do you mean unexpectedly? Unexpectedly?”

“But they’re really pretty.”

Eiran was admiring the rabbit-shaped apples as if they were too pretty to eat.

Creak-

The door opened and Leo entered.

“Did your treatment go well?”

“They said I need to rest for a few more days.”

When Leo answered Cal’s question calmly and picked up an apple to eat, Arga muttered with a dark expression.

“Is this the tragedy of fratricide?”

“What are you talking about?”

Leo looked at Ar once with a puzzled expression and plopped down next to Cal.

Cal folded the newspaper and muttered.

“Anyway… that was amazing.”

“That’s right.”

They knew that Great Heroes were amazing.

In fact, except for Driana, they had actually seen Great Heroes in action before.

But this was the first time they had shared such a long time together and learned so much from a Great Hero.

“Among the raiders who conquered the Great Heroes’ worlds, there probably wasn’t anyone like us who learned something from them.”

Ar also crossed her arms and nodded.

“Come to think of it Leo, you didn’t get to see Lord Kail again, did you?”

“Kail? What do you mean by that?”

“We saw Lord Kail just before completing the conquest of the Heroes’ World.”

“Pffft! Cough! Gack? Cough!”

At Driana’s words, Leo choked and coughed.

Eiran was startled and patted Leo’s back.

Leo, who had barely calmed down, asked.

“You saw Kail?”

“Yeah, Lord Kail was amazing too. He easily dealt with Erebos’s flames. Wow… seeing it up close really left me speechless with admiration.”

Cal muttered while recalling the events of that time.

“It was also surprising to see him command Pegasus as a familiar.”

At Runia’s muttering, Arga crossed her arms.

“His swordsmanship was also perfect without any unnecessary movements.”

Driana nodded with a “Mm-hmm.”

“The magic he used for the final blow was also beautiful.”

Cal clicked his tongue.

“I really thought, ‘So this is what a perfect All-Class would be like.'”

Eiran smiled brightly.

“Yes! He was just like Lord Leo!”

‘Of course. Because it was me.’

“Leo still has a long way to go to catch up to Lord Kail.”

“No matter how amazing the Black Rabbit is, Lord Kail is a Great Hero, right?”

“It would have been a good role model if you had seen him. What a shame.”

At Runia, Ar, and Driana’s words, Leo inwardly let out a hollow laugh.

‘That was me, you guys.’

“Anyway, are we stuck in the infirmary during the Smith exclusive contract period?”

Cal clasped his hands behind his head and leaned back deeply into the sofa.

“We need to undergo detailed examinations and write reports about what happened in Hero Record.”

Runia also let out a small sigh.

“Just thinking about seeing those annoying teachers’ faces already irritates me.”

“You’ve clearly decided on the delinquent student route.”

“Hm? Got a problem with that?”

“Of course not, big sis.”

When Runia asked with a faint smile, Cal quickly shook his head.

He might get hit if he teased her for no reason.

“Speaking of the Smith exclusive contract.”

Driana made a serious expression.

“This incident made me think about many things. Despite saying I respected Lord Dweno, what did I actually do… I had done nothing. So I came to reflect on many things.”

“Did you also reflect on making strange junk and insisting it was art?”

“Be quiet, stupid cat.”

Driana glared at Ar and cleared her throat.

“Meeting Lord Dweno this time, I learned a lot and felt a lot.”

Driana looked down at her small palms.

“I clearly understood what I can do with these hands, and what I should do.”

Driana clenched her fists tightly and said.

“If you’ll allow it, I’d like to become your exclusive Smith.”

“If someone as outstanding as Miss Driana becomes our exclusive Smith, it would be an honor for me!”

“She may be a pervert, but her skills are certain.”

“Most importantly, she has skills recognized by Lord Dweno.”

Eiran, Ar, and Runia nodded.

Seeing the three of them, Driana smiled.

“Thank you, then let’s draw up the exclusive contract.”

Driana took out contracts and pens from her pocket and distributed them to the five people.

“Come on, you just need to sign in the final signature section.”

When Driana pointed to the signature section on the last page, Runia, Ar, and Eiran were about to sign without much suspicion.

Seeing this, Cal screamed in horror.

“Hey hey hey! What are you guys doing right now!”

“Huh? We’re trying to make an exclusive Smith contract…”

“What if you sign without reading it properly and there are strange clauses?”

“What? Miss Driana wouldn’t deceive us, would she?”

“Precious young ladies are so naive.”

Cal shook his head disapprovingly.

Meanwhile, Runia and Ar narrowed their eyes and flipped through the contract with rustling sounds.

Then, seeing the clause in the final section, they glared at Driana.

“What is this?”

“It’s a clause regarding a modeling contract for my artistic activities.”

“But why is it for nude modeling?”

“The form at birth! The pure form is the most beautiful form! Especially Runia! Since you were personally selected as a nude model by Lord Dweno, I have a duty to express your naked body as art and make it known to the world…!”

“What nonsense are you spouting!”

Runia, with a bright red face, rip- rip- rip- rip- tore up the contract.

Ar also riiip- tore up her contract.

Eiran’s face was completely red.

“Be grateful to me.”

Cal also said while tearing his contract in half.

Watching them, Leo let out a deep sigh.

‘Did these guys really grow at all?’

***

Leo and Cal left the infirmary on the last day of their exclusive Smith contract period.

On the way back to the dormitory, Cal let out a deep sigh.

“In the end, I missed the entire academy schedule. It’s a miracle I can attend the banquet on the last day. I thought I’d have to stay in Demian for several more days.”

Cal made a disgusted expression.

“That’s because this Heroes’ World conquest had so much to talk about.”

It was literally an unprecedented situation.

During the Age of Calamity.

Directly experiencing the Siege of Gardstron, one of the most massive battles, was truly amazing.

Not only Dweno, the protagonist of the Hero Record, but also fellow Great Heroes Arron and Kail.

Even Berkia, one of the greatest figures among the Elves, appeared in this Heroes’ World.

Since there had never been a Hero Record where the greatest figures of the most distinguished races appeared in such numbers, Leo’s party’s experience boasted tremendous academic value.

Sedjen, who heard the two’s conversation, said.

“You both worked hard. Especially student Cal. You had the hardest time.”

“Well, Professor Sedjen helped me.”

The one who received the most attention in this investigation was none other than Cal.

It couldn’t be helped.

Cal’s conquest reward was an alchemy book written by Dweno.

In other words, it was Dweno’s knowledge itself.

Unlike the other party members who obtained items made by Dweno as conquest rewards, or Leo who announced he had no conquest reward considering the commotion it would cause, Cal’s reward was in a shareable form.

As a result, people of all races coveting Cal’s conquest reward appeared one after another.

It was Sedjen who stepped forward in this situation.

‘The rewards achieved in the Heroes’ World belong to the conqueror himself, and the right to decide what to do with them lies with the conqueror. You people, who know this fact better than anyone, are now pressuring a young student to share his conquest reward? Even an alchemy book that Cal himself hasn’t been able to check the contents of yet! This is not elegant. You should be ashamed!’

At Sedjen’s truly angry rebuke, a Seirun investigator said.

‘Knowledge only gains value when it’s shared. Besides, isn’t that student one whose grades are so poor that it wouldn’t be strange if he dropped out of Lumern at any time? I think such a reward is excessive for such a student.’

‘Student Cal shows skills superior to anyone among Lumern’s 2nd years in alchemy. He was even directly taught alchemy by Master Dweno, who recognized him in this Heroes’ World conquest. Hero Records also provide conquest rewards that are evaluated as appropriate. I think that statement is sufficient to be seen as disparaging Master Dweno’s choice and the Hero Record’s will.’

Sedjen, who countered with a cold expression, continued to block all pressure on Cal thereafter.

“Honestly, I was moved.”

“I just did what was natural as a professor. That conquest reward is entirely yours. Unless you share that knowledge solely by your own will… Lumern will side with you and protect you.”

“Professor Sedjen!”

“Student Cal!”

Leo shook his head watching the beautiful teacher-student relationship between the professor who until recently had cried about the cunning Hallind’s lackey emptying his wallet with an evil tongue, and the student who had pondered how to pick more pockets.

“Anyway, it was fortunate that it wasn’t Hallind or Riina in that position instead of me.”

“What would have happened if it were them?”

“Hallind would have cursed at those talking nonsense, and Riina would have thrown punches immediately.”

Sedjen shook his head disapprovingly.

“When you get older, you should act mature. How can they still be so immature?”

‘Among the three of you, Professor Sedjen seems the most immature.’

Cal muttered to himself, but didn’t say it out loud.

He thought there was no need to spoil the warm atmosphere.

Following Sedjen’s guidance, the two arrived at their assigned dormitory.

The door opened and the gazes of students gathered at the entrance for the banquet all focused on the two at once.

“It’s Leo and Cal!”

“What?”

“Leo oppa! Cal!”

“Welcome back! Cal!”

Led by Chelsea, students who had been in the same class during their first year rushed over.

Other students with whom they were acquainted also gathered around.

“We heard you were badly injured, but have you recovered from all your wounds?”

“Young Master Leo, how is your body?”

When Chloe and Chen Xia asked worriedly, Leo smiled.

“I’m almost fully recovered.”

“Leo oppa! You’re really amazing! This time you conquered Master Dweno’s world! There’s probably no one who conquered multiple Great Heroes’ worlds during their student days like Leo oppa!”

Chelsea jumped up and down, happy as if it were her own achievement.

“How was it? Master Dweno and Master Arron.”

Selia also asked with sparkling eyes.

Everyone looked eager to hear stories about the Great Heroes.

Arron, who was evaluated as possessing the strongest military power.

And Dweno, who was a shield protecting his teammates before being a great blacksmith.

For Knight Academy students, their heroic tales were enough to make their hearts race.

Meanwhile, Avad welcomed Cal with a smile as he came to the dormitory side.

“Welcome back, Cal.”

“You’re the only one welcoming me, Avad. I thought the other kids would welcome me enthusiastically too.”

Cal muttered in a moved voice.

“Hmph. Did you think we’d give you special treatment just because you conquered Master Dweno’s world?”

Eliza sat in her usual fancy chair, trimming her nails and snorting.

Duran also spoke in his characteristic arrogant voice.

“Self-consciousness excess, Cal Thomas. Don’t you think so too?”

“Um… I… guess?”

“No, I was really waiting because I wanted to hear the story…”

“Shh, shh. What if those two mark us?”

The noble students whispered among themselves.

Watching them, Avad chuckled.

“How was it? Master Dweno and Master Arron.”

“How should I tell this story?”

Cal crossed his arms and glanced at his dormitory mates with a grin.

“Want to hear? Gather around. I’ll tell you about what I saw.”

At those words, Eiran and Duran flinched and trembled.

“N-not particularly.”

“I already know enough about those two through literature.”

Eliza and Duran lifted their chins.

But the other students thought differently.

They sneakily watched the two’s reactions.

“If you want to listen, don’t mind me. I’m just really not curious.”

“Hmph. It’s natural to be curious about the Great Heroes’ stories. Not me though.”

At the two’s words, the noble students gathered around Cal.

“Then!”

“Hey! Cal! Tell us a story!”

“Hmm~ Which story should I start with? Should I start with the story of Master Arron blocking the Giant King’s attack with a single sword swing?”

Duran’s body trembled slightly.

Seeing Duran like that, Eliza mocked.

“Oh my? You pretend not to be interested but seem to really want to hear it?”

“Who would listen to such words from a commoner…”

“Or should I start with the Phoenix King who was Master Risinass’s contractor? Hey! Have you guys ever seen a white Phoenix?”

“Is, is, are the Flame Emperor’s feathers really pure white?! Hup?!”

Eliza, who had asked back without realizing it, covered her mouth.

Seeing her, Avad said.

“Don’t put up unnecessary pride and just listen to the story together.”

“That’s right~ Duran! As Knight Academy students, how could we not hear the stories of Lord Arron and Lord Dweno!”

“Eliza! Come quickly!”

The noble students called out to the two of them.

Eliza stood in front of Cal with a coy expression while Duran stood beside Avad.

Sedjen smiled as he watched the Lumern 2nd year students become lively.

‘This time our students will gain a lot.’

“We’ll hear the details at the banquet hall, so Leo and Cal should go up and prepare for the banquet. Until the last day, you must show your elegance as Lumern students to the students from other schools.”

At Sedjen’s words, the students reluctantly let Leo and Cal go with disappointed faces.

The final schedule at Demian was coming to an end.
