434.

 

“That special instructor person, his name was Akan, right? Didn’t he have a familiar face?”

 

Chelsea said as she handed Leo a wooden bowl.

 

“He looked like Arron, didn’t he?”

 

“Cough, cough.”

 

At Leo’s words, Cal, who had been drinking water nearby, suddenly choked and coughed violently.

 

The students around him stepped back to keep their distance.

 

“Oh! Now that you mention it, he did look similar.”

 

Chelsea exclaimed in admiration.

 

Leo ladled stew from a stone pot made with alchemy magic and handed it to Chelsea.

 

“Wow! This looks delicious!”

 

Chelsea cheered at the smell coming from the stew.

 

Today’s breakfast duty was none other than Leo’s responsibility.

 

In his previous life, mealtime during expeditions was the one time they could enjoy some leisure and peace.

 

As such, even the Great Heroes wanted to eat something as delicious as possible during meals.

 

They took turns preparing meals in order, but the most popular shifts among the Great Heroes were Kail and Luna’s turns.

 

In Kail’s case, since he was a mercenary, he was accustomed to outdoor living and camping, while Luna used her experience in potion-making to create excellent dishes.

 

‘Risinass was hopeless at cooking, and Arron was happy as long as you just grilled him some meat.’

 

Still, when those two were on meal duty, they managed to produce something reasonably edible.

 

The problem was the Dwarf.

 

‘Cooking is also art! I’ve prepared an original dish for you all!’

 

Despite being even more skilled in alchemy than Luna, he would create terrible things in the name of art.

 

Whenever he stood in front of the campfire claiming he would cook and started acting suspiciously, Luna would rush over and kick him away.

 

“Mmm~!”

 

Chelsea took a spoonful of stew, and with the spoon still in her mouth, she cupped both cheeks and smiled happily.

 

The way she swayed her head left and right showed it must be incredibly delicious.

 

“Is it good?”

 

“Yes! It’s delicious! Really delicious! I’ve been thinking this for a while, but Leo is good at cooking too! There’s nothing you can’t do!”

 

At Chelsea’s bright reaction, the students lined up in front of Leo swallowed their saliva.

 

“Leo! Give me some quickly too!”

 

“We need to eat something delicious to be able to endure that terrible training from yesterday again!”

 

The hungry teenagers in their growth period pestered Leo.

 

The students who received stew from Leo began eating noisily.

 

“I’m saved, I’m saved because I’m in the same group as Leo!”

 

Taide shed tears as he devoured his stew.

 

In a situation where they were mentally exhausted from last night’s poor meal, Leo’s cooking was literally like rain during a drought.

 

“Never let Chelsea touch the cooking. What she makes is poison.”

 

When Cal warned while eating his stew, an indignant Chelsea kicked the back of Cal, who was sitting in front of her, with a firm push!

 

Even while being pushed, Cal remained resolute.

 

“What she makes could probably kill even demons.”

 

Full-scale breakfast time began, and cheerful exclamations erupted here and there.

 

“Here, everyone eat up.”

 

Chen Xia smiled brightly as she distributed bowls to Chloe and Selia.

 

The students in the same meal group as Chen Xia also received their bowls.

 

And everyone’s expressions became subtle.

 

“…The stew is green?”

 

Chloe asked with a slightly stiff expression, and Chen Xia answered.

 

“I added herbs that are good for fatigue recovery. Plus, if you prepare them well, they taste wonderful too. It may look a bit strange, but it’ll be delicious.”

 

Selia bravely took a sip.

 

“Mm. It’s delicious. Xia wouldn’t give us anything weird, right?”

 

At those words, the other students also put Chen Xia’s stew in their mouths.

 

“Wow, this is really good?”

 

“I feel like my fatigue is lifting.”

 

“The appearance is a bit off, but it’s excellent?!”

 

“But what exactly did you put in to make it green?”

 

“I carefully prepared and added atrophy grass.”

 

“Ooh, atrophy? So that’s what it tastes like. I had no idea.”

 

The students who had been nodding in admiration suddenly froze.

 

“Wait, atrophy is a poisonous plant, isn’t it?”

 

“And it’s not just any poisonous plant, but one famous for having deadly poison, right?”

 

“Atrophy helps with fatigue recovery and tastes good if you prepare it well. You didn’t know? There’s plenty, so everyone eat lots and stay strong.”

 

Looking at Chen Xia cheering them on with a bright voice, the students continued their meal with difficulty.

 

Knowing the effort she put into gathering ingredients and making stew since morning, they couldn’t bring themselves to refuse.

 

But this case could be considered quite good.

 

“What is this?”

 

“Stew.”

 

When Eliza squinted at the unidentifiable object in her bowl and asked, Iliana answered confidently.

 

“It may look like this, but it’s delicious. Probably.”

 

“Probably? Probably?! Didn’t you even taste it?”

 

“Still, it’ll be much more delicious than what you made yesterday!”

 

“Are you picking a fight with me first thing in the morning?!”

 

“Duran, where are you going?”

 

“To find something to eat.”

 

“I want to go too.”

 

The place where Iliana was in charge of meals was already a mess.

 

Not only at Lumern, but there were many places where commotion was breaking out among students from other schools as well.

 

Just then.

 

“Black Rabbit!”

 

Arga, who had been rolling on the ground since the morning breeze due to Riennia, ran over and shook Leo vigorously.

 

“What kind of suffering is this from the morning because of youuuuu!”

 

Looking at Ar bursting with anger, Leo said.

 

“That’s why, who told you to act wild?”

 

“I wasn’t acting wild!”

 

“You were just about to act wild, weren’t you?”

 

When Cal chimed in from the side, Arga glared.

 

“That’s not…! Mmph?!”

 

Leo spooned stew into Ar’s mouth as she was making “gah! gah!” sounds.

 

Ar’s eyes, which had been round at first, soon became sharp.

 

Her ears and tail stood up stiffly as if saying ‘What are you doing!’ and she sharpened her claws.

 

Ar was about to cause a ruckus like an angry cat.

 

But soon after tasting the stew, she obediently chewed the contents in her mouth.

 

When Leo handed over his own bowl, she quietly ate the stew and looked happy.

 

Watching this, Nella smiled mysteriously.

 

“I feel this every time I see her, but Ajonia’s representative seems really happy. Should I say she quickly forgets unhappy things? She’s very positive.”

 

“Hehe- It’s because she’s simple, simple. Ugh!”

 

Cal, who had been giggling at Nella’s words, got kicked in the ribs by Ar.

 

“What should we do if we give away Leo’s portion?”

 

Chelsea sighed deeply, then ladled some stew and fed it to Leo with an “Ah!”

 

“I’m fine. I already cleared that training.”

 

At Leo’s words, Chelsea made a disappointed expression and put the stew in her mouth with a “Yum-”

 

“By the way, I wonder how long we have to keep doing that training from yesterday?”

 

“We’ll probably keep going until we clear it, right?”

 

When Taide muttered as if he was fed up, Leo chuckled and answered.

 

“We have to pass that to receive proper training from the instructors.”

 

“Woooh?!”

 

Arga, who had been happily eating stew, suddenly opened his eyes wide and shoved all the remaining food into his mouth at incredible speed.

 

Then he jumped up, gulped down the stew, and shouted.

 

“Then I need to overcome that training quickly!”

 

The Lumern students looked puzzled as they watched Ar suddenly become motivated.

 

“Black Rabbit! I’m going to prepare for training!”

 

As Arga ran off with a “Woo-da-da!”, Chelsea looked bewildered.

 

“Why is he suddenly acting like that?”

 

“There must be a reason.”

 

Cal answered with a spoon in his mouth, then whispered quietly to Leo.

 

“It’s 100% really him, right?”

 

“It seems like it.”

 

“What on earth happened?”

 

“Something must have happened while we didn’t know. Since I already passed the first day’s training, I’ll ask him about it when I meet him.”

 

Cal nodded at Leo’s words.

 

“How come not a single person suspects anything?”

 

“Since his impression is completely different, they probably think he’s just someone similar. Actually, there are many beastmen who imitate the Hero’s style. They can’t even imagine that it’s really him.”

 

“True.”

 

Even though Luna and Seirun had revealed themselves to the present world, such miracles didn’t keep happening continuously.

 

“You two, what are you whispering about so secretively?”

 

Chelsea narrowed her eyes and leaned her face closer.

 

“We were talking about today’s training. Asking if there were any secret techniques or something.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

Chelsea looked slightly suspicious at Cal’s nonchalant answer, but soon nodded her head.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Hurry up and finish eating! How long are you going to dawdle!”

 

Riennia shouted sharply.

 

“I really don’t want to get caught by that person.”

 

Cal shuddered as he looked at Riennia.

 

Leo clicked his tongue as he watched Cal.

 

‘Come to think of it, Cal’s instructor was Riennia, wasn’t it?’

 

Leo, who was thinking about telling his friend about the future, soon shook his head.

 

And so the morning of the second day of the training camp dawned.

 

***

 

“Uryaaaaa!”

 

Arga widened his eyes and began climbing the cliff at tremendous speed.

 

“Why is he suddenly acting like that?”

 

Selia looked flustered at the sight of Ar climbing the cliff with incredible momentum.

 

But soon he couldn’t reach the top and slipped down with a “slide~” as his strength gave out.

 

“Ar, are you okay?”

 

When Eiran carefully asked while looking at Ar sprawled on the ground, Arga jumped up.

 

“I’m going to climb this damn cliff and quickly move to the next stage!”

 

Ar climbed the cliff again with his dirt-covered face.

 

“I’ll climb up before Ajonia’s representative.”

 

“You’re pointlessly burning with competitive spirit again.”

 

When Duran snorted, Selia shook her head.

 

“Hmph. Wait and see, Selia Jerdinger. I’ll look down at you from the top.”

 

“What?”

 

Selia’s eyes sharpened as she growled at Duran, then climbed up the cliff.

 

“E-everyone. Please take it easy.”

 

Eiran said to the three with a tearful expression, but the three didn’t listen.

 

“I felt it earlier too, but kids these days are amazing.”

 

Arron, who was looking at the cliff from far away with his hand shading his eyes, muttered.

 

“Can you see those children with the naked eye without using magic?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

When Mellina asked with a surprised face, Arron nodded nonchalantly.

 

While Mellina was amazed by the physical abilities of the great hero who had far transcended limits.

 

Leo spoke.

 

“What do you think?”

 

“They all possess strong power that doesn’t match their age. Especially that child called Ar. He’s become incomparably stronger than when I saw him before? Didn’t you say only about a year has passed since then?”

 

Arron looked at Selia and Duran with admiration.

 

“That human boy and girl are also amazing. The breathing technique those children use. It seems a bit similar to my breathing.”

 

“Later generations created it based on your breathing technique.”

 

“Ah. Indeed, so it can be applied like that. I never thought of it.”

 

Arron was impressed.

 

Then he soon tilted his head.

 

“If we apply that breathing method, would it be possible for other children to learn super-senses too?”

 

Super-senses.

 

The sensory technique that Arron uses.

 

It’s Arron’s signature technique that even Leo can only imitate to some degree.

 

“If that were possible, it would be a great strength for the Beast People.”

 

Mellina said with a slightly excited face.

 

“I’m happy that it would be helpful?”

 

Arron said with a pleased face.

 

“But that Elf Girl resembles Berkia. Though the atmosphere is completely different.”

 

Arron, who had been sniffing, tilted his head.

 

“Her scent is similar too.”

 

“Ah, if it’s that child, she’s a descendant of Berkia.”

 

“What?”

 

Arron’s eyes widened in genuine surprise.

 

“I see. That child also left descendants.”

 

At the mention of his disciple’s descendant, Arron couldn’t hide his joyful smile.

 

“How should I put it, I’m happy. I can clearly feel that our efforts weren’t in vain.”

 

Arron said, swishing his tail back and forth.

 

Looking at Arron licking his lips, Leo said.

 

“Keep a good eye on that guy called Ar among them.”

 

“That one’s a bit scary… Is there a reason?”

 

Looking at Arron who asked while slightly shrinking his neck, Leo said.

 

“He’s a child who has the power to transform other beastmen through howling.”

 

“What?”

 

At the mention that he possessed the ability he had so desperately wanted, Arron widened his eyes and looked at Ar.

 

“That sounds exciting?”

 

Arron smiled with gleaming eyes.
