441.

 

Chen Xia looked up at Arron, who was smiling gently and patting her head, and answered with a slightly sulky voice.

 

“I’m older than Young Master Leo, you know?”

 

“Oh, really?”

 

Arron showed a slightly flustered expression.

 

Chen Xia, who had been grumbling, stood up.

 

“Still, thanks to Instructor Akan’s advice, I was able to think again.”

 

Chen Xia bowed her head politely.

 

“Instructor Akan, please don’t blame yourself too much either. I’m sure your friend wouldn’t want that.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Even if you had given up back then. There will surely be another opportunity.”

 

“Another…?”

 

“Yes. Young Master Leo taught me. Don’t despair and hang your head just because you’re in darkness.”

 

Chen Xia smiled brightly.

 

“If you lift your head and move forward, reaching out your hand… light will surely be waiting.”

 

“…That’s so like Leo.”

 

“Right? Really, what does he think of his older sister? Treating me like a child.”

 

“What did Leo say?”

 

“Something like ‘if you’re a kid, act like one and just dream.’ Honestly. He’s 2 years younger than me.”

 

Arron laughed at Chen Xia’s words.

 

“Those are good words.”

 

***

 

“How do the kids seem?”

 

Torua, sitting in the instructors’ lounge, asked while reading a magic book.

 

“Perfect.”

 

Jamua smiled with satisfaction.

 

“Students from any school are following my systematic training perfectly.”

 

“Systematic my ass. You just beat the kids up with punches and kicks. Brutishly.”

 

Jamua responded to Torua’s criticism.

 

“Punches and kicks require more precision than you think. It’s the same principle as needing skill when hammering to make weapons.”

 

“Indeed, Li Jamuah. Truly befitting the man who was Lumern’s greatest man last year.”

 

When Derou, Ajonia’s former vice student council president, nodded while crossing his arms, Torua shook her head.

 

“What are you talking about? Until last year, Lumern’s greatest man was Ris.”

 

“No, Ris’s manliness was third.”

 

“Then who was second?”

 

“You.”

 

“I’m a woman, you bastard.”

 

“Hah, you should be proud! Torua Yan! You’re a woman more manly than most men!”

 

Watching Derou speak while even raising his thumb, Torua seriously considered what magic to use to roast him.

 

He seemed to think it was a compliment, but from Torua’s perspective, it absolutely wasn’t.

 

While Torua was contemplating, Jamua spoke.

 

“Speaking of which, Torua, are you training your juniors properly?”

 

“Of course. I’m letting kids with weak magic resistance experience various spells.”

 

“You’re not using the kids for magic experiments, are you?”

 

“Heh. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”

 

The students Torua was in charge of were mainly those with poor magic resistance.

 

“I’m currently researching magic that uses neural magic to create curse effects, so it’s perfect to test.”

 

“Truly befitting Lumern’s mad woman.”

 

“Why am I a mad woman?”

 

Torua flared up at Banir’s words.

 

“Do you really not know? You do a lot of insane things when it comes to magic, don’t you? What was it recently? You said you wanted to dissect Leo Flobe and Runia El Runda?”

 

“Everything is for magic. And if I sew them back up prettily, there’s no problem, right?”

 

“That’s exactly why we call you a mad woman.”

 

“Hmph. You’re the one tormenting kids by throwing them off cliffs and such, aren’t you? Crazy rabbit.”

 

Torua and Banir glared at each other menacingly.

 

Watching them, Jamua muttered.

 

“Those two are still the same.”

 

“During school days, Banir was more competitive with Torua than even with Ris.”

 

Just as Jamua and Derou were shaking their heads.

 

“Hmm, there’s a lack of love.”

 

Ulta, who had been watching the situation, spread both arms.

 

Looking at Ulta, Jamua said.

 

“Ulta, you only have two students in charge, right? I heard it’s not going well?”

 

“I’m spreading love. Originally, love is difficult to understand.”

 

“…Oh, right.”

 

When Jamua shook his head, deciding communication was impossible.

 

Riennia, Seirun’s former student council president who had been watching, spoke.

 

“Aren’t you all being too careless with your instructor duties? Having fun by yourselves or pursuing personal interests.”

 

“Look who’s talking?”

 

“Making weird training from hell.”

 

“You’re the one enjoying tormenting your juniors. You sadist.”

 

As objections poured in from everywhere, Riennia covered both cheeks.

 

“It’s fun when the kids scream.”

 

“…No matter how I think about it, Seirun seems the most abnormal among the Hero Academies.”

 

“Right, they seem the most proper but only the weirdest kids gathered there.”

 

“I heard the next student council president candidate, Runia, is a complete thug?”

 

The graduates whispered among themselves, but Riennia didn’t bat an eye.

 

Then the door opened and a young man with black hair entered.

 

“Ris, how are the freshmen?”

 

“They all listen well. This generation of freshmen seems particularly well-behaved. They get along well with each other too.”

 

At Ris’s words, Banir said.

 

“They get along well even though they’re from different schools?”

 

“This year’s freshmen interact frequently with students from other schools and become friends easily.”

 

“Oh? They’re quite sociable?”

 

Basically, Hero Academies have a lot of competitive spirit between schools.

 

Especially in the first year, such competitive spirit often manifests as hostility.

 

The second years also got along well because they became close through Smith’s exclusive contract at the beginning of the semester.

 

If not for that, they wouldn’t have even talked to each other.

 

In fact, during the Smith exclusive contract period, there was almost no interaction between schools.

 

In contrast, this year’s freshmen seemed to be becoming friends very quickly.

 

“This year’s freshmen are all above average, though not as much as the second years. Usually, the more talented a generation is, the more arrogant they become, making it harder to get along in the first year.”

 

“Like us?”

 

“Exactly.”

 

The graduates chuckled.

 

Now they had graduated and had many clashes throughout their fifth year, so they joked around with each other, but even until their first and second years, they showed sharp reactions to each other.

 

“Why do you think that is?”

 

“Isn’t it because their seniors one year above are so outstanding? They can’t help but feel intimidated to live in their own arrogance.”

 

“Having them as seniors would definitely make you feel intimidated and naturally humble.”

 

The current second years are evaluated as a legendary generation regardless of school.

 

“I realized this time. The year towers don’t seem to have second-year level skills.”

 

“At that level, one would naturally become a bit lazy, but there’s no sign of that either.”

 

“Why don’t these scary juniors ever let their guard down? It’s frightening for us seniors watching.”

 

The Hero Academy is a place where only the best gather.

 

All the students are those who are called geniuses.

 

And if one reaches the top position even among those geniuses, they’re bound to become arrogant.

 

But the 2nd years showed no signs of that at all.

 

“There’s one monster among them.”

 

When Ris said with a laugh, Riennia narrowed her eyes.

 

“Leo Flobe. Though he’s a 2nd year, he’s already beyond the category of a student. The strongest 2nd year. No, it would be right to call him the strongest student in all of Hero Academy.”

 

Everyone here had approached the level of current heroes and might soon have their names recorded in Hero Record.

 

Receiving such an evaluation less than half a year after graduation was something that hadn’t happened often in the long history of heroes.

 

But even those here instinctively felt it.

 

That Leo was a strong person above them.

 

“Was he that strong when he was a 1st year too?”

 

“He wasn’t quite human-like even as a 1st year, but not to that extent.”

 

Everyone is bound to hit a wall as they grow.

 

But Leo was different.

 

‘Leo is actually gaining more and more acceleration in his speed of getting stronger.’

 

Ris thought of Leo.

 

“What exactly is that guy’s identity?”

 

At Derou’s question, Jamua crossed his arms and grinned.

 

“I think he’s a monster.”

 

“I’m guessing he might be the sixth race.”

 

Torua added.

 

“Leo is just overflowing with love.”

 

Ulta spread both arms and laughed.

 

“Whatever he is, if Leo can help our juniors who will be responsible for the world’s future alongside us to grow, there’s nothing better than that.”

 

At Ris’s words, Banir asked.

 

“Are you just going to keep losing then?”

 

“No way.”

 

Ris shook his head.

 

“We have to work hard not to be caught up by our juniors.”

 

When everyone was nodding at Ris’s words.

 

“Come to think of it, how is that person called Akan?”

 

Ris asked.

 

Since he was exclusively in charge of 1st years, Ris didn’t have much contact with Arron.

 

At Ris’s question, Torua crossed his arms and tilted his head.

 

“He is an amazing person. It’s strange why someone of his caliber is completely unknown.”

 

“Isn’t he a Shadow?”

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

“What information is there about that person?”

 

Watching Torua shake his head, Banir said.

 

“First of all, he looks incredibly similar to Lord Arron.”

 

“Heh, who knows. He might really be Lord Arron.”

 

At Ulta’s words, everyone paused.

 

Then they looked at each other’s faces and soon burst into laughter.

 

“No matter what, that’s not it.”

 

“A miracle did happen in Seirun, but it was only for a brief moment, right?”

 

“It’s already been two weeks since that person appeared, right? But he hasn’t disappeared or anything, right?”

 

Actually, the instructors had wondered at first.

 

Because of the atmosphere that was so similar to Arron.

 

But it’s already been 2 weeks since the training camp started.

 

If it were Arron who came to the present world through Hero Record’s miracle, it wouldn’t make sense for him to still be here.

 

Decisively.

 

“He always seemed intimidated whenever I saw him?”

 

“Yes! Yes! He wasn’t manly.”

 

“How should I put it, he was like a frightened herbivore.”

 

Each shared their impressions of Arron.

 

‘Acan Instructor.’

 

Ris fell into thought.

 

‘My first impression was that he felt similar to Leo.’

 

Their appearance, personality, and race were completely different.

 

But the unfathomable depth felt in their eyes was similar.

 

‘What kind of person could he be?’

 

***

 

Late at night.

 

Ris quietly left the dormitory.

 

“Going to train?”

 

Seeing Ris like that, Riennia, who was outside the dormitory, asked with a smile.

 

“You figured it out well.”

 

“We’ve been competing as representatives of Lumern and Seirun, haven’t we? We understand each other perfectly.”

 

Riennia winked and said.

 

“Watching your cousin brother continuously made me feel restless too. Will you spar with me?”

 

“I’m not Leo’s substitute.”

 

When Ris let out a hollow laugh at Riennia’s words.

 

“If you’re going to warm up, I’ll come too.”

 

Banir revealed herself from the darkness.

 

“I want to fight with you guys after a long time.”

 

Ris, Riennia, Banir.

 

All three were knights and warriors who wielded powerful aura.

 

“With the crazy rabbit as an opponent, I don’t think we can go easy?”

 

“Were you planning to go easy against Ris?”

 

When Banir narrowed her eyes, Riennia giggled.

 

So on this late night.

 

The three were preparing to spar in a place where it wouldn’t cause harm to others.

 

“Are you fighting by any chance?”

 

Step- Step-

 

“…!”

 

Seeing Arron who revealed himself under the moonlight with small footsteps, the three people flinched.

 

“This worked out well. I was just coming out to warm up too. I needed an opponent. Won’t you spar with me?”

 

“That sounds good.”

 

Ris smiled.

 

“We were also curious about what kind of person Acan Instructor is.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Who would you like to spar with first?”

 

At Ris’s question, Arron smiled gently.

 

“All three.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“I want to fight with all three of you?”
