433.

 

Early morning.

 

As the sun began to rise, the 2nd year students started groggily waking up from their sleep.

 

“I want to wash up.”

 

“Ugh… I’m hungry.”

 

“I couldn’t sleep properly.”

 

Groans could be heard from here and there.

 

The Hero Candidates who had attended the training camp with high spirits after receiving invitations from the Dragon Lord had become beggars in just one day.

 

“This is no different from a refugee camp.”

 

“Even refugees wouldn’t be in such a miserable state, right? This is just a complete beggar’s den, a beggar’s den.”

 

Cal, who had gotten some comfortable rest for a short time, had a much more refreshed face than before.

 

Cal let out a long yawn and voiced his complaints.

 

In fact, until they went to sleep yesterday, they weren’t in such miserable states.

 

Each Hero Academy conducts training for surviving in the wild.

 

By the time they reach 2nd year at Hero Academy, they acquire the ability to survive even if thrown into the middle of a desert or the middle of the ocean.

 

Among such students, only exceptionally outstanding ones were selected for this training camp, yet there was only one culprit behind the students’ current state.

 

It was because of Mellina’s bizarrely strange Guardian Legion.

 

Moreover, yesterday not only the Guardians who were vulnerable to physical force that had tormented the mage students appeared, but even Guardians with tremendous physical defense power had emerged.

 

After going through harsh training the previous day, they couldn’t get proper meals, let alone sleep, so it was natural for them to end up in such states.

 

While Leo clicked his tongue.

 

Flutter~

 

“Huh? What’s this?”

 

A piece of paper flew toward Leo and Cal.

 

When Cal unfolded the paper, a short message was written in small, neat, pretty handwriting.

 

“Student Cal, please come to the west of the forest now, avoiding other students’ gazes. Dragon Lord?”

 

Cal gasped and inhaled sharply.

 

Leo’s paper had the same content written on it.

 

“Leo, do you have the same content too?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Wow, what on earth is this about?”

 

“Let’s go see for now.”

 

Leo, who knew what this was about, calmly went with the excited Cal to where Mellina was calling them.

 

When they left the students and approached the thicket to the west, Runia, Eiran, Ar, and Driana were also there.

 

“Gasp?! L-Leo?”

 

Eiran, who spotted Leo, was startled and quickly hid behind Runia.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

When Runia asked with a puzzled face, Eiran answered.

 

“I-it’s embarrassing to show Leo such a disheveled appearance.”

 

“You’ve already shown Leo all sorts of unseemly sights.”

 

“When did I ever show Leo any disgraceful behavior?”

 

“Like your strange delusion rampages.”

 

“D-don’t say it!”

 

Eiran made a tearful face and tried to cover Runia’s mouth.

 

“Did you all come because the Dragon Lord called you too?”

 

“Yeah. Looking at this, it’s completely the Dweno World conquest members, isn’t it?”

 

Cal tilted his head.

 

Ar, who was trying her best to fix her messy hair with her hands, said.

 

“Could she be thinking of giving us special training separately?”

 

Ar frowned as her hair wouldn’t get properly arranged.

 

“Whatever it is, I want to wash up quickly.”

 

Cat Beastmen were famous for being clean even among the beastman tribes.

 

Looking at such Ar, Cal said.

 

“You’re a cat, so you can just do a cat wash.”

 

“Are you making fun of me right now? Do you think I, the heir of the Tune Family, would just splash water roughly on my face and be done with it? And whether it’s a cat wash or whatever, there needs to be water, right?”

 

“No, not washing with water. Why? What do you call it? Grooming? You clean your fur with saliva. Cough?!”

 

Ar’s fist struck Cal’s side as he spoke with giggles.

 

Though it was a simple punch, it felt like he had been hit with a drop kick from Chelsea.

 

As Ar snorted while watching Cal roll on the ground.

 

“Everyone, did you all sleep well last night?”

 

At the voice heard from behind, everyone except Leo tensed up.

 

Rustle- Rustle-

 

Cal’s mouth fell open as he saw Mellina appear with a bright smile.

 

Though her face was covered with a veil, Mellina’s figure was overwhelming.

 

“This is the first time I’m talking separately with Eiran and Cal like this, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Dragon Lord Mellina.”

 

“H-hello. Great Lord of the dragon race. I’m called Eiran Ersarr.”

 

“Hehe, you don’t need to be so nervous.”

 

Eiran’s face turned slightly red at Mellina’s gentle smile.

 

Eiran, who loved heroic tales, was well-versed in all the exploits of the Silent Dragon.

 

It was natural for her to be nervous at the appearance of the hero evaluated as the greatest among the heroes living in the current era.

 

“I’m Cal Thomas, Lord.”

 

“Nice to meet you, Cal.”

 

Mellina’s lips curved into a gentle line beneath the veil.

 

Seeing that, Cal, who had been nervous, hesitated and then carefully asked.

 

“Lord… have we perhaps met somewhere before?”

 

“Hehe. Are you hitting on me right now?”

 

“No, that’s not it.”

 

Cal, who had asked unconsciously due to some inexplicable familiarity, made a bewildered expression.

 

After playfully greeting Cal, Mellina said.

 

“I called you all here because I have something I want to ask of you.”

 

“Something you want to ask?”

 

“Yes, in a little while I plan to introduce the instructors who will train you all in this training camp. Please absolutely do not get excited at that moment. Understood?”

 

“What would there be to get excited about?”

 

“Understood? Ar?”

 

Mellina brought her smiling face close to Ar, who was making a puzzled expression, and spoke emphatically.

 

“Yes.”

 

Mellina nodded as she looked at Ar, who nodded with a startled face.

 

“Good, then go back to where your friends are now. I’ll see you in a little while.”

 

At Mellina’s words, the group returned to the campsite with expressions that said ‘That’s it?’

 

-Why did you speak in such a roundabout way?

 

Leo asked using magic so only Mellina could hear.

 

-Surprise events are always fun, aren’t they?

 

Leo let out a hollow laugh seeing Mellina answer with a bright voice.

 

“How could you think of flirting with the Dragon Lord?”

 

“No, I really asked because it seemed like I’d met her somewhere before.”

 

Runia spoke to Cal as if she was dumbfounded, and Cal spoke in a serious voice with his arms crossed.

 

“Leo! You felt like you’d seen her before too, right?”

 

“I wonder.”

 

Leo shook his head while laughing inwardly.

 

‘Anyway, he’s sharp.’

 

If nothing else, Cal’s observational skills were superior to anyone else’s.

 

returned to the campsite with a suspicious expression.

 

There, they were organizing by school.

 

In front of them were familiar faces.

 

“Wow, not only Senior Ris but also Senior Ulta and Senior Jamua.”

 

Cal admired seeing the seniors who were showing the greatest achievements among last year’s Lumern graduates.

 

“Runia! Senior Riennia is here too!”

 

“That senior wouldn’t miss an occasion like this. Ugh, but what’s with that outfit? Sunglasses and even a cap pulled down?”

 

Unlike Eiran who was purely happy, Runia was glad to see Riennia, last year’s student council president, but not entirely pleased.

 

She was famous for her outrageous behavior.

 

During last year’s Lusejeon, she had provoked Leo with the championship trophy only to be provoked back by Polium instead.

 

This time too, her strange outfit with arms crossed and head deeply bowed seemed ominous.

 

Other Seirun graduates’ faces were also visible.

 

On Ajonia’s side, there were graduates led by last year’s student council president Banir as expected.

 

“What exactly are we not supposed to get excited about?”

 

Ar swished her cat tail and made an expression of not understanding.

 

Driana also tilted her head while looking at the graduates.

 

“Just as you said, there’s nothing particularly special.”

 

It was when the students were gathering like this.

 

“Look at those movements, those movements. What are you all dawdling around for!”

 

Suddenly Riennia raised her head and shouted angrily.

 

The students froze at the sudden situation.

 

“Run right now!”

 

At the sudden scolding, the students began moving frantically.

 

“Line up properly! Is this all you so-called hero candidates can do!”

 

Watching Riennia shout with veins bulging in her neck, a Seirun female student said tearfully.

 

“S-Senior. You’re scary. Why are you acting like this?”

 

She seemed frightened by the fierce appearance of the former student council president who had always been kind, though eccentric.

 

“Who said I was your senior! I’m an instructor who came to train you trainees. From now on, address us as Instructor. Understood?”

 

“S-Senior.”

 

At Riennia’s voice colder than Seirun’s cold north wind, the Seirun female student showed tears.

 

“Trainee Tilena. Step forward.”

 

“Y-Yes?”

 

“Step forward.”

 

Tilena hesitantly stepped forward.

 

“Get down and lie flat.”

 

“What? This is bare ground.”

 

“I won’t say it three times. Get down.”

 

Tilena went “Hik-” and lay down.

 

“Roll left. Roll right.”

 

The student named Tilena, who had shown tears for no reason, rolled on the ground without understanding why.

 

All the students from every school looked disgusted at that sight.

 

“Where do you think you are to be showing tears! Get your act together!”

 

Riennia screamed with an even more furious face.

 

“I’m sorry!”

 

Tilena, who had been tormented by Riennia, hurriedly wiped her tears and shouted.

 

Torua, who was watching this, asked a Seirun graduate he was acquainted with.

 

“Why is she getting so worked up by herself?”

 

“I don’t know. She’s been reading a bunch of strange books for the past few days, then got excited saying she became the perfect instructor?”

 

Riennia’s classmate answered with an incredulous expression.

 

“Hmm? Should we do that too? It looks kind of fun?”

 

Torua’s eyes sparkled.

 

Meanwhile, Riennia, who had made her junior roll around enough, stood in front of the students and said.

 

“This instructor is not a bad person. Depending on your behavior, this training camp can become either hell or heaven. Understood?!”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Your voices are too quiet!”

 

“Yes sir!”

 

At Riennia’s fierce appearance, Runia let out a deep sigh.

 

“I knew she’d be like this.”

 

“Your senior is scary.”

 

“I don’t know anyone like that.”

 

At Ar’s words, Runia flatly pretended not to know her.

 

Leo also let out a hollow laugh at Riennia’s appearance, finding it absurd.

 

‘I felt it before, but she’s quite a peculiar kid.’

 

It was when a fierce atmosphere was flowing through the campsite.

 

“Hello everyone.”

 

Mellina appeared.

 

At the Dragon Lord’s appearance, all the 2nd years let out “Ooooh!” exclamations, but immediately stood at attention due to Riennia’s fierce aura.

 

Mellina, who tilted her head at that sight, began her customary speech.

 

“It makes me really happy to see hero candidates with such bright futures. I hope you all gain a lot from this training camp.”

 

After the unremarkable, yawn-inducing words ended, Mellina said.

 

“Before we begin the full training camp, we’ve invited a special instructor.”

 

At Mellina’s words, the graduates made puzzled expressions.

 

At the mention of a special instructor, the students’ eyes sparkled.

 

Step- Step-

 

And everyone’s attention focused on a Suin young man who appeared.

 

“This is Instructor Akan, whom I specially invited.”

 

“N-Nice to meet you. Everyone.”

 

Cal, who had been suppressing a yawn that was about to escape, froze when he saw the special instructor who suddenly appeared.

 

“Gasp?”

 

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

 

When Cal let out a sharp breath, Taide in front turned around with a puzzled expression.

 

Runia and Eiran also gaped.

 

Driana rubbed her eyes several times.

 

The Suin young man walking cautiously toward Mellina with somehow stiff movements, looking intimidated.

 

Everyone made puzzled expressions.

 

“Doesn’t he seem to lack fighting spirit?”

 

“If he’s an instructor invited by the Dragon Lord, he must be amazing somehow.”

 

While everyone looked confused.

 

“Huff- Huff-!”

 

Ar breathed roughly.

 

Her ears perked up and her eyes became round like a cat’s.

 

All the muscles in her body tensed as if she would pounce at any moment.

 

It was when Ar’s tail was swishing.

 

Grab-!

 

“Nyaak?!”

 

Leo had somehow approached behind Ar and strongly pulled her tail.

 

“What are you doing! Black Rabbit!”

 

Ar glared with fierce eyes and shouted at Leo, who had grabbed her tail then quickly returned to his spot.

 

Along with that, Riennia’s angry command fell.

 

“Who is it! The Lord is speaking!”

 

“Th-this was the black rabbit!”

 

Arga protested as if he felt wronged, but Riennia was firm.

 

“Follow me out!”

 

“Just you wait! Black rabbit!”

 

As he was being dragged away by Riennia, Arga shouted with resentment in his voice.

 

Arron looked at Ar being dragged away and showed a slightly frightened expression.

 

Watching this scene while feigning ignorance, Leo clicked his tongue as he saw Ar being caught by Riennia and rolling on the ground.

 

‘She needs to learn a lot from Arron.’

 

But the very Arron who should be teaching her was intimidated by Ar.

 

‘There’s a long way to go.’

 

Leo shook his head with a bitter laugh.
