357

 

Whoooosh—!

 

Pure white flames swept through the air.

 

Runia’s flames drove away Erebos’s flames.

 

Everyone gasped in amazement at the sight.

 

“Is that the rumored Phoenix King’s flame?”

 

“The flame that disappeared 5000 years ago.”

 

Wonder filled the eyes of the mages who had come to attend the conference.

 

5000 years ago.

 

The flames that had been passed down by the Phoenix Kings, severed by Erebos.

 

Those very flames, which had been relegated to legends of the distant past, were now manifested in Runia’s hands.

 

Moreover, the creator of this magic was none other than Luna.

 

It was only natural for the mages to feel awe at this miraculous magic unfolding after such a long period of 5000 years.

 

‘It’s not enough.’

 

However, Runia narrowed her eyes as if dissatisfied.

 

Whoooosh—!

 

The white flames wrapping around her entire body intensified their heat.

 

‘Still… not enough.’

 

The reason Luna created this magic.

 

The reason Katariou passed down the flames of purification in Dweno’s World.

 

The fact that these flames, which even Luna couldn’t complete, were now burning in her hands was surely not mere coincidence.

 

A miracle born from the convergence of fate and destiny.

 

Runia looked at Dweno’s staff, which she had named Flame Emperor.

 

‘It must mean we should completely finish it in our generation.’

 

Luna, who shone brilliantly even in endless darkness.

 

Dweno, who remained steadfast even before invisible disasters.

 

Arron, who was more courageous than anyone else in the face of deep despair.

 

Runia recalled the images of the Great Heroes she had personally met and experienced.

 

Whoooosh—!

 

The flames of purification blazed even more fiercely.

 

Dangerous flames like a double-edged sword that could burn even herself if she made a mistake.

 

It was far too great a power for her immature self to handle.

 

However, Runia did not hesitate.

 

Because she remembered Leo rushing without hesitation into the heart of Erebos’s flames.

 

‘Trying to look cool all by yourself?’

 

Runia smiled faintly as she thought of the boy who had suddenly appeared a year ago and greatly influenced her life.

 

Leo Flobe.

 

An All-Class like Kail, the Hero of the Beginning.

 

Runia thought that Leo somehow resembled Kail.

 

Of course, she didn’t know much about Kail.

 

It was only recently revealed that he was a real person who had existed.

 

There were hardly any materials left related to the Hero Record, and anecdotes about him remained only as fairy tales.

 

Why he was called the Hero of the Beginning.

 

What kind of deeds he had accomplished.

 

People of later generations had no way of knowing.

 

Yet Runia felt that Leo and Kail were similar.

 

‘The reason Kail is called the Hero of the Beginning is… probably because he was the beginning of something. Like that, Leo is also the beginning of this great flow.’

 

Whoooooosh—!

 

Runia’s flames blazed even more fiercely.

 

Everyone looked at Runia.

 

Runia gripped Flame Emperor with both hands.

 

The magic formula was assembled.

 

“Yeonje.”

 

As the magic was completed, a massive pure white flame revealed itself above Erebos’s black flames.

 

A brilliance like a giant sun.

 

While everyone’s jaws dropped, the pure white sun devoured the black flames.

 

Whoosh—!

 

In an instant, the black flames were purified.

 

The pure white flames scattering in all directions held warmth within them.

 

Fragments of the pure white flames burned all the rampaging undead to ashes.

 

Both the catastrophic black flames.

 

And the undead emanating the aura of death vanished without a trace.

 

Gentle air, as if spring had arrived, enveloped the surrounding area.

 

Everyone looked at Runia with surprised faces at that overwhelming power.

 

“Miss Runia!”

 

Eiran hurriedly approached Runia, who had burns all over her body.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

Runia smiled.

 

“It burns away all impurities…”

 

“Truly purification indeed.”

 

While everyone was looking at Runia with admiration.

 

Seirun’s Hero Record came fluttering down from the sky.

 

Runia reached out and caught that Hero Record.

 

The culprit behind this incident.

 

But for some reason, the Hero Record containing Seirun’s records was in perfect condition.

 

As if it had been newly written.

 

‘This is strange, it was clearly burned and barely anything was left earlier?’

 

Runia made a puzzled expression.

 

Had there ever been a case where a burned and damaged Hero Record returned to its original form?

 

As far as Runia knew, such cases didn’t exist.

 

It was when Runia was making a surprised expression.

 

Whoosh—!

 

The Hero Record emitted a bright light and soon Leo appeared.

 

“Huh?”

 

Runia was startled.

 

Leo’s face, as he appeared, was right in front of Runia’s nose.

 

Close enough to feel each other’s breath.

 

Remembering Leo grabbing her chin just moments ago, Runia’s face turned red.

 

‘Just now something… the atmosphere was incredibly steamy.’

 

Eiran’s words came to mind for no reason, making her face burn even more.

 

Leo smiled maturely at Runia, then reached out to grab Runia’s hand and pulled it.

 

‘Why, why is he suddenly acting like this?! Why is he grabbing and pulling my hand in front of everyone?’

 

It was when Runia’s face was turning even redder.

 

“Could you let go?”

 

“Uh… yeah… Ehh?”

 

Runia made a strange sound.

 

Only then did she realize that Leo was pulling at Seirun’s Hero Record clutched in her hand.

 

When she let go in embarrassment, Leo stepped back one step.

 

It was when Runia, who had made strange assumptions, was turning red even to her ears.

 

“Miss Runia, are you alright?”

 

“It’s fine… but wasn’t the atmosphere just now strange or something?”

 

“Atmosphere? What atmosphere?”

 

When Eiran made an expression showing she didn’t understand, Runia let out a sigh of relief.

 

“It’s nothing.”

 

“Miss Runia, what kind of strange imagination did you have?”

 

When Eiran opened her eyes drowsily, Runia got flustered.

 

“It’s because of you! Because of you!”

 

“What? That’s unfair!”

 

Eiran protested with a tearful expression.

 

“Student Leo.”

 

At that moment, Herdium, a Seirun teacher who was acquainted with Leo, approached Leo.

 

“That… are you certain it’s Seirun’s Hero Record?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Then why on earth are the flames of calamity in Seirun’s Hero Record…”

 

“You’ll know if you ask her directly.”

 

“What…?”

 

It was when Herdium made a puzzled expression at Leo’s words.

 

Flash—!

 

As if a door opened in the void.

 

An oval-shaped pure white entrance opened.

 

Herdium, a teacher of Seirun, knew well what that was.

 

It was a door leading to the Heroes’ World.

 

It was when everyone knew this fact and widened their eyes in surprise.

 

Leo put his hand into the entrance.

 

After a moment, a beautiful hand was led out by Leo’s hand.

 

Seeing the elf who revealed herself along with it, Herdium unknowingly dropped the staff he was holding.

 

“Ah… aah…”

 

Herdium’s voice trembled.

 

Not just Herdium.

 

Everyone made expressions of disbelief seeing the elf who appeared before their eyes.

 

“Seirun… sama?”

 

Something hard to believe easily.

 

However, Seirun had already experienced last winter.

 

The return of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

 

Therefore, they had no choice but to acknowledge Seirun who appeared before their eyes.

 

The elves all knelt in unison at the miracle caused by the Hero Record.

 

Not just the elves.

 

The mages who had visited Seirun to attend the conference were the same.

 

The Comet Mage, evaluated as the greatest after Luna in history.

 

There was no way they wouldn’t bow their heads at the appearance of the Hero of the Cataclysm who had once again saved the world that had fallen into crisis.

 

While even Runia and Eiran, who had been bickering with each other, bowed their heads in surprise.

 

Seirun’s eyes trembled.

 

Students wearing Seirun uniforms entered her sight.

 

Starting with Runia and Eiran, the figures of various students entered Seirun’s eyes.

 

“These are the sprouts that grew from the seeds you planted.”

 

Leo spoke quietly, only for Seirun to hear.

 

“Many hero candidates followed the path you pioneered, chasing after you. They reached out to reach us. As a result, countless heroes were born.”

 

The Age of Heroes.

 

When the Great Heroes subjugated Erebos and the gods gifted the Hero Record to the lower realm.

 

The era from 5000 years ago until now.

 

But it was after the Heroes of the Cataclysm that countless heroes truly began to appear explosively.

 

“Did you do well?”

 

While everyone bowed their heads.

 

Leo reached out and ruffled Seirun’s hair.

 

“To a degree that’s truly grateful. What you accomplished is what Risinass so desperately wished for. So stop blaming yourself. Make sure to tell the other guys too.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

Seirun nodded.

 

And she spoke with strength.

 

“Everyone, please raise your heads.”

 

At those words, everyone raised their heads.

 

Seirun turned her head.

 

She could see the Comet’s Sanctum that had collapsed and become ashes.

 

Seeing that, Seirun reached out her hand.

 

Whooom—!

 

A bright light flew like a comet from within the ashes and was caught in Seirun’s hand.

 

The staff symbolizing Seirun, Cometes.

 

Zing—!

 

Mana surged from the tip of the Cometes staff.

 

At the same time, the collapsed Comet’s Sanctum instantly regained its original form.

 

Everyone who saw this made expressions of shock.

 

It was as if time had been reversed.

 

‘No, she actually reversed time!’

 

A grand magic that even mages who had reached the ranks of heroes couldn’t dare attempt.

 

She had accomplished such magic simply.

 

“Everyone.”

 

Seirun spoke while looking at the students.

 

“I am merely the past to you all… but as the founder of this school, I am so happy to see your appearance.”

 

At Seirun’s words, the students of Seirun made moved expressions.

 

“So I would like to use this opportunity to ask something of you all.”

 

Seirun’s eyes grew serious.

 

“Long ago, I made one fatal mistake. It was the school rule that only those who had learned ‘Star Magic’ could enroll in this school.”

 

Everyone was surprised by the fact that Seirun Academy’s 3000-year tradition was called a fatal mistake.

 

Seirun glanced at Leo.

 

She had already heard about Seirun Academy’s problems from Leo before coming out to the outside world.

 

“As the founder of the school, I will abolish that school rule as of today.”

 

Everyone’s eyes widened.

 

Especially some people gasped as if having a seizure.

 

It was none other than the Pure Blood Society.

 

“And… Leo Flobe.”

 

Seirun looked at Leo and smiled brightly.

 

“Thank you so much for retrieving Luna-sama’s legacy, the ‘flower-blooming magic’ that I couldn’t solve for so long. I think you are a mage who suits this staff even more than I do.”

 

At the sudden words, Leo let out a hollow laugh.

 

However, all the elves made expressions filled with shock.

 

Seirun was offering Cometes to Leo.

 

The act of a mage giving their staff to another mage.

 

That was an act of acknowledging that mage as their successor.

 

Everyone looked back and forth between Leo and Seirun with disbelieving eyes.

 

Leo made a reluctant expression and received Cometes.

 

Then Cometes shone brightly.

 

As if time had ended with that, Seirun’s body also shone brightly.

 

Everyone present involuntarily squeezed their eyes shut.

 

Only Leo could see Seirun’s appearance clearly.

 

“I apologize for my rudeness, Kail.”

 

Leo spoke as he watched Seirun, who stuck out her tongue slightly and smiled mischievously.

 

“You know, even Luna never did this to me. This is really something.”

 

In the distant past.

 

There was a time when she insisted he call her master since she had taught him magic.

 

He remembered ignoring Luna when she tried to force a staff on him.

 

At Leo’s words, Seirun lifted her skirt and curtsied elegantly.

 

“What infinite honor.”

 

Seirun smiled brightly after her respectful greeting.

 

“But now those foolish children will never be able to show you disrespect again.”

 

“That’s why I’m letting it slide.”

 

“Hehe.”

 

Seirun covered her mouth and laughed.

 

Watching such a Seirun, Leo spoke.

 

“Hang in there just a little longer. I’ll come soon.”

 

“Yes. I’ll stay strong!”

 

Seirun greeted him brightly and disappeared without a trace.

 

With the bright light, Leo found himself alone as Seirun had vanished.

 

Everyone stared at Leo with blank faces.

 

“This is… impossible.”

 

Orren spoke with a trembling voice.

 

“A human… a human being acknowledged by Seirun! I cannot accept this!”

 

Leo chuckled as he watched Orren, who was half-convulsing and screaming frantically.

 

Then he waved the Cometes in his hand.

 

“But I received this from Seirun, didn’t I?”

 

Right before their eyes, Seirun had directly handed Cometes to Leo.

 

There was no denying it.

 

Seirun was the founder of the Academy.

 

No matter how much she was a being from the past, they could never go against her will.

 

The Pureblood Society’s shoulders trembled.

 

It was when Seirun’s teachers and students, as well as the mages attending the conference, all wore confused expressions due to the sudden situation.

 

“Now then…”

 

Leo gripped Cometes properly and spoke.

 

“Why did Erebos’s flames flow out from Hero Record… Why did undead appear in the heart of Seirun.”

 

Leo wore a cold expression.

 

“Shall we investigate the cause?”

 

The Pureblood Society’s faces turned pale.

 

***

 

‘I cannot accept this! This is clear betrayal! That damn Overlord King!’

 

Rhagen cursed inwardly.

 

From the moment black flames erupted at Hero Record and undead appeared at the top of Comet’s Sanctum, Rhagen had instinctively known he was finished.

 

‘I knew I shouldn’t have made deals with those filthy demons! I’ll make them take responsibility! I’ll get Seirun’s remains and use my necromancy to…’

 

Step-

 

“Where are you going? Acting Principal Seirun.”

 

At the voice from behind, Rhagen’s movement stopped.

 

Step- Step-

 

Before he knew it, Leo had followed him and was looking at him with cold eyes.
