402.

 

Uarghela, the oasis city of Elehem.

 

The massive oasis at the center of Uarghela resembled a giant beach.

 

It was a kind of oasis sandy beach and one of Uarghela’s major tourist attractions.

 

There, students from Lumern and Ajonia were enjoying water activities.

 

“Everyone’s so carefree.”

 

Selia, who had arrived at the oasis beach, swept her hair back.

 

Usually a meticulous honor student, she looked at the 2nd and 1st year Lumern students enjoying water activities with a slightly disapproving expression.

 

Behind her stood her mentees, Aina and Martina.

 

“This is nice too, Miss Selia. We’ve also finished this practical mission.”

 

The Lumern students had nearly completed their mission practice schedule.

 

The suspicion that Elehem was hiding a Hero Dungeon had been revealed as truth.

 

As feared, the Hero’s Dungeon they had been hiding caused a large-scale anomalous incident that nearly destroyed Dobella, but thanks to the students from Lumern and Ajonia, the first invasion was concluded without major damage.

 

There were subsequent second and third invasions, but by then, upperclassmen from Lumern and Ajonia had already arrived as support.

 

Afterwards, Elehem was embroiled in international disputes.

 

Not only had they been concealing not just one but multiple Hero Dungeons, evidence of collusion with Tartaros was also discovered.

 

With the clear evidence of the Hero Hunter’s appearance, Elehem could no longer make excuses.

 

All races and nations across the world rose up to condemn Elehem.

 

The world’s political situation is chaotic.

 

International relations are places where various interests are intertwined.

 

But even in such world politics, there are things that can never be tolerated, and that is acts of collusion with Tartaros.

 

Due to this incident, Elehem faced a crisis where it wouldn’t be strange if it quietly disappeared from history.

 

“Didn’t they say a world conference will be held in Lumern regarding Elehem’s punishment?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Selia nodded.

 

Afterwards, professional dungeon raiders from Lumern, Seirun, Ajonia, and Demian were dispatched to conquer the rampaging Hero Dungeon.

 

“I wanted to finish things with our own power.”

 

“But we helped many people in Elehem, didn’t we?”

 

Seeing Selia’s slightly frustrated expression, Martina said.

 

While the dungeon raiders were active, the 1st and 2nd year students from Lumern helped the struggling people of Elehem.

 

The King of Elehem and core power holders were mostly arrested on charges of collusion with Tartaros and concealing Hero Dungeons.

 

When Elehem’s ruling power was being exercised, rescuing and helping struggling people could be considered interference in internal affairs, but now that Elehem’s monarchy has collapsed, that’s not the case.

 

“Yes, heroes are beings who lead the world to the right place. Helping and saving those in difficulty is also important work.”

 

Selia sighed.

 

“Right. Everyone worked hard, so after the practical mission ended, Young Master Leo used his student council president authority to give us two days of free time, right?”

 

Leo’s contribution was significant in allowing Lumern students to relax and have fun.

 

“Still, we must maintain dignity as Lumern students.”

 

Selia looked at her fellow school students who were happily playing in swimwear with a slightly disapproving expression.

 

“Selia, you’re here?”

 

“Senior Nella, hello!”

 

“Hello.”

 

When Nella approached, Martina answered energetically while Aina greeted quietly in a small voice.

 

“Nella, you too.”

 

Selia pressed her temples firmly.

 

Nella was also dressed for serious water activities, wearing a swimsuit.

 

“It’s summer now too. We all worked hard, so it’s good to have fun before returning to school, right?”

 

“Right, right. If you’re going to spoil the mood when everyone’s having fun, just go back to the dormitory.”

 

Chelsea, who appeared from behind Nella, said.

 

“I’m not criticizing having fun. I was saying to set an example as a 2nd year senior. Well, playing with the 1st years suits you well, Chelsea.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“You’re still a kid, aren’t you?”

 

“There’s only a one-year difference between you and me, you know?”

 

At those words, Selia looked down at Chelsea and laughed “Heh-” while sweeping back her hair.

 

Chelsea certainly had a youthful appearance even compared to her peers.

 

Chelsea, who had been staring at Selia with a sullen expression as she closed her eyes and tried to look relaxed, aimed the toy in her hand at Selia’s face.

 

Squirt-!

 

Water shot from the toy and soaked Selia’s face.

 

“Hoo.”

 

Selia took a deep breath.

 

Then she widened her eyes and lunged at Chelsea.

 

“You really!”

 

Chelsea ran away without looking back.

 

“Stop right there!”

 

“Am I crazy? To have hand-to-hand combat with you from the Knight Academy?”

 

Chelsea looked at Selia, pulled down the skin under her eye with her index finger, and stuck out her tongue.

 

Seeing this, Nella laughed and shouted.

 

“No using abilities on the oasis beach!”

 

Nella, who said that, looked at Aina and Martina and said.

 

“Hehe- Those two. Don’t they look like they get along really well?”

 

“Um… do they?”

 

Martina could only smile awkwardly.

 

Meanwhile, on the oasis beach.

 

“Come choose! Choose! Hit products that even 2nd year honor students enjoy playing with! Water gun staffs! Water bombs! Plus delicious ice cream and drinks to beat the heat in this hot oasis!”

 

Cal had set up a stall and was doing business.

 

Business was booming.

 

With summer approaching and students’ desire for water activities surging, when Chelsea, Iliana, Nella, and Taide played with the toys Cal gave them for promotion, demand for Cal’s products skyrocketed tremendously.

 

Plus ice cream and drinks to beat the hot desert heat.

 

It couldn’t help but sell.

 

“Senior! Water gun staff please!”

 

“Me too!”

 

“Here you go!”

 

Cal handed over the water gun toys with a beaming smile.

 

Seeing the money accumulating in his pocket, Cal smiled brightly.

 

“Wahaha! Juwen! We’re going to be rich!”

 

At Cal’s words, Juwen made a reluctant expression.

 

“Aren’t you going to play, Senior Cal?”

 

“I’m playing right now, aren’t I?”

 

“Isn’t it depressing to do business when everyone else is playing?”

 

“It is depressing. But when I see the sales, that depression completely disappears!”

 

Seeing Cal genuinely happy, Juwen shook his head.

 

“By the way, the water gun toys are made with patented magic formulas from the Southern Magic Tower.”

 

“Right! I’m grateful for that!”

 

The toys Cal made were created by applying the magic formulas in Juwen’s magic staff.

 

“Senior Cal’s insight in making cheap toys with that and hitting it big is certainly impressive.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“You know you have to pay 80% of the profits as royalties to the Southern Magic Tower, right?”

 

Crack-

 

Cal’s face hardened.

 

Cal, who made a tearful expression, grabbed Juwen’s ankle and clung to him.

 

“Please have mercy! 80% of profits means I’ll go bankrupt! Please!”

 

“L-let go of this.”

 

Juwen made a flustered expression and struggled to shake off the sword.

 

“Hmph, playing around with such a pathetic toy. How pitiful.”

 

Eliza, who was lying on a sunbed under a parasol wearing sunglasses, was sneering at the sight.

 

Iliana, who was passing by, said.

 

“This is actually quite fun.”

 

“Hmph, what’s so fun about such a crude toy?”

 

“Look.”

 

Squirt-

 

Iliana adjusted the water gun to lower the water pressure and shot Eliza’s face.

 

Eliza silently wiped her face with a towel that was beside her, then picked up her whip and said.

 

“If your intention was to annoy me, that was an excellent choice. Shall I carve whip marks into that white skin of yours?”

 

“Hiiiiek?!”

 

As Iliana covered herself and backed away in horror, Chen Xia approached and restrained Eliza.

 

“Violence is not allowed.”

 

Chen Xia was practically the only student Eliza would listen to.

 

Eliza clicked her tongue at Chen Xia’s appearance.

 

Then she snatched the water gun staff from Chen Xia’s hand and sprayed it all over Iliana’s face.

 

“Blurgh! Blurgh!”

 

“Hmph.”

 

Eliza sneered at Iliana who was shaking her head wildly, and was about to hand the staff back to Chen Xia when.

 

Thudadadadadada-!

 

Chelsea could be seen running across the sand beach.

 

Chelsea threw water bombs at Selia who was chasing her.

 

Selia sneered as she caught the water bomb and carelessly threw it aside.

 

Roll-roll- thunk-!

 

The rolling water bomb touched Eliza’s foot.

 

“…What is this?”

 

Eliza’s eyes narrowed, and Chen Xia and Iliana threw themselves away without hesitation.

 

Splash-!

 

The water bomb exploded, releasing an enormous amount of water.

 

It was a simple spell that compressed water, but the bomb’s power was formidable.

 

The water pressure sent the parasol and sunbed flying, and Eliza ended up with her face buried in the sand.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Those around gulped nervously.

 

Eliza got up, brushed the sand off her face, and spat out the sand that had gotten in her mouth.

 

She watched Chelsea and Selia’s chase with quiet eyes, then approached Cal’s stall.

 

Cal and Juwen stared at Eliza with their mouths agape.

 

“Cal Thomas, don’t you have anything more powerful than water gun staffs or water bombs? I don’t care how much it costs.”

 

Seeing Eliza speak in a surprisingly calm voice, Cal gulped and handed her a large cylinder.

 

“It’s a prototype water cannon, but it’s dangerous because of its power…”

 

“Those two won’t die from this much, so it doesn’t matter.”

 

Eliza turned around with the water cannon in her hand.

 

The sound of grinding teeth could be heard from her mouth.

 

“You’re dead.”

 

The sand beach began to be devastated.

 

***

 

In the middle of the sand beach.

 

Leo was sitting on a sunbed under a parasol shade, looking toward the oasis.

 

Beside Leo, Chloe was sitting on a sunbed reading a book.

 

Chloe, who gave off a resort atmosphere, occasionally glanced at Leo.

 

This was a fairly secluded spot even within the Oasis Sand Beach.

 

And in the middle of the oasis, air bubbles kept rising continuously- bubble bubble bubble.

 

“Puah-!”

 

After a while, Arga emerged from the water.

 

Chloe, who had been glancing at Leo, hurriedly turned her gaze to her book.

 

Ar hurriedly crawled up to the waterfront and shook off the water from her body.

 

And she said while panting.

 

“Black Rabbit, I’m so tired! I want to stop now!”

 

Seeing Ar speak with a tearful expression, Leo got up from his seat.

 

Leo stepped on the sand and approached Ar, saying.

 

“You’re the one who said you wanted to do howling training.”

 

Ar had gained the ability to awaken other beastmen’s beast transformation abilities through howling in the last battle.

 

A mysterious ability that even Leo didn’t know about.

 

‘And that’s also the ability Arron wanted so much.’

 

Arron had hoped that his beast transformation ability could be passed on to other beastmen too.

 

If that had been possible, more of his kinsmen could have survived on the battlefield.

 

But in the end, Arron couldn’t achieve it.

 

Not only Arron, but even afterward, no one gained the ability to transform freely.

 

A beastman who fully obtained Arron’s beast transformation ability appeared only 5000 years after Arron’s death.

 

‘It seems like they obtained the beast transformation ability using fragments of Arron’s Hero Record in Tartaros, but… that’s impossible without a fake Brave, so I’ll leave that aside.’

 

And according to testimonies from those who fought, the beast transformation ability wasn’t complete either.

 

Anyway, Ar had unintentionally obtained the ability Arron had so desperately wanted.

 

Ar was also very excited when she first learned about this fact.

 

But after realizing she couldn’t control it properly, she pondered and eventually reached out to Leo for help.

 

The first thing Leo did with Ar was to put her in the water.

 

The first reason was that howling around would be a nuisance to others, and the second reason was that regulating breathing underwater would make howling easier.

 

But Ar, being a cat beastman, absolutely hated water.

 

Of course, Leo wasn’t one to care about such circumstances.

 

“I hate water now! I hate it!”

 

“Even if you hate it, you have to do it. Get in.”

 

At Leo’s cold words, Ar quickly rolled her eyes.

 

‘In that case!’

 

Ar chose to flee.

 

Grab-!

 

Of course, her tail was caught by Leo and she fell forward.

 

“Ugyaaaaa!”

 

Ar struggled frantically.

 

Leo sighed and approached Ar, crouching down in front of her.

 

“Ar, you’ve stepped into a realm that even the Hero couldn’t achieve.”

 

Ar paused and looked up at Leo.

 

“As the Hero’s successor, you’ve accomplished what even the Hero couldn’t.”

 

“Ugh-!”

 

Ar clenched her fists tightly.

 

“But you want to run away?”

 

“No!”

 

“Arron might be disappointed if he saw you like this. Would that be okay?”

 

“Absolutely not!”

 

Seeing Ar like that, Leo smiled gently and patted her white hair.

 

At that, Arga made a cat-like expression.

 

Leo, who had removed his hand from Ar’s head, reached out and put his hands under Ar’s armpits to lift her up.

 

Ar, with her ears perked up, stared at Leo with cat-like eyes.

 

Looking at such an Ar, Leo grinned.

 

“Well then, Ar.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Go back in.”

 

Whoosh-!

 

“Hey! You damn black rabbit!”

 

Splash-!

 

Leo, who had mercilessly thrown Ar into the water, crossed his arms.

 

Watching this scene, Chloe let out a sigh.

 

“I can see why Selia and Chelsea get so worked up.”
