442.

 

‘What are the things I can do right now?’

 

Arron pondered deeply.

 

The current era was different from the era Arron was born and raised in.

 

The era Arron had to live through was one where the future was pitch black.

 

‘Children couldn’t even dream. Even I, who followed Risinass, couldn’t envision what the era I wanted would look like.’

 

Even Arron, who wanted a bright and hopeful future for children, could only vaguely imagine it without being able to grasp an era of peace.

 

It was inevitable since they were a generation that had everything taken away from birth.

 

And the era of peace he encountered shone more brilliantly than Arron had imagined.

 

But the threat wasn’t over yet.

 

No one knew when the Age of Calamity might return.

 

He didn’t want this current peace to be shattered.

 

What Arron was teaching now were those preparing to take the stage.

 

“Couldn’t I also help the children who have already stepped onto the stage?”

 

At Arron’s words, Mellina’s eyes widened.

 

“Are you saying you want to help the graduates as well?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Those are truly humble and grateful words. How are you thinking of teaching them?”

 

“I’m not very good at teaching others.”

 

Arron raised his fist.

 

“So there’s only one method.”

 

“One method?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

***

 

“Can you handle it?”

 

Banir asked with an expressionless face.

 

There was no change in her facial expression.

 

However, the atmosphere was far from ordinary.

 

Though she was an Ajonia graduate and former student council president, she knew the world was vast.

 

There were still many strong warriors in the world who were stronger than her.

 

When she first saw Arron, she knew immediately.

 

That this beastman before her eyes, though he looked frail, was strong.

 

That he was someone who stood above her.

 

But even so, being provoked like this hurt her pride.

 

“Hey, hey. Why are you getting so worked up?”

 

Riennia smiled brightly and patted Banir’s shoulder.

 

“We just need to face him once.”

 

Though she spoke in her characteristically light tone, Riennia was also looking at Arron with sharp eyes, her pride apparently hurt by the provocation.

 

“Right, Ris?”

 

“Right.”

 

Ris nodded and fell into thought.

 

Watching the three of them, Arron nodded.

 

“Alright, shall we begin?”

 

At Arron’s words, Ris drew his sword and spoke.

 

“Riennia, Banir.”

 

Ris narrowed his eyes.

 

“Let’s go all out from the start.”

 

At those words, Riennia and Banir looked puzzled for a moment, but nodded.

 

Whoosh—!

 

Banir charged at Arron.

 

Thud—!

 

Riennia dashed across the forest at tremendous speed.

 

Roooooar—!

 

Ris extended his sword and drew forth Jerdinger’s flames.

 

They were quick to switch to combat stance in an instant without letting their guard down.

 

‘So this is what they call the Age of Heroes.’

 

The current era, called the Age of Heroes before being called an era of peace.

 

The mindset of those who graduated from Hero Academy and stood on the battlefield was definitely different.

 

Arron looked at Banir, who was rapidly closing the distance.

 

Shing—!

 

Before he knew it, Banir was gripping twin swords in both hands—a longsword with a jet-black blade and another sword about the length between a longsword and dagger—and swung them with flashing eyes.

 

Clang clang clang clang clang clang—!

 

Sparks flew between Arron and Banir.

 

Arron blocked with one hand the sword strikes that were swung at tremendous speed, invisible to the eye.

 

Seeing Arron deflect all her attacks with one hand, Banir’s eyes trembled.

 

Arron reached out with his other hand to subdue Banir.

 

At that moment, Banir lowered her stance.

 

Whoosh—! Whoooosh—!

 

Ris, who had approached at some point, swung his sword.

 

The aura of flames surged.

 

Claaaang—!

 

Arron’s hand and Ris’s sword collided, causing a massive explosion.

 

Like waves pouring down, flames engulfed Arron.

 

‘He’s perfectly controlling the flame aura?’

 

Among all attributes, the flame attribute was the most violent and difficult to handle.

 

While emitting scorching heat that seemed ready to burn Arron, it caused no damage to Banir.

 

Arron put strength into his hand.

 

Whoosh—!

 

Instantly, golden aura extending from Arron pushed back Ris’s sword.

 

And he blocked Banir, who was diving into his embrace, with his other hand.

 

Thwack—!

 

The sword was quickly blocked by Arron before it could complete its swing.

 

Ris and Banir’s eyes narrowed.

 

‘He didn’t use aura.’

 

‘Pure technique.’

 

They saw through it immediately with this brief exchange.

 

Arron still had room to spare even while facing them.

 

‘Just where did someone like this appear from?’

 

“What are you doing?”

 

On the cliff overlooking the forest.

 

Mellina, who had been watching the sparring between Arron and the three, bowed her head slightly at the voice heard from behind.

 

“You’ve arrived.”

 

“I felt your mana.”

 

Leo, who had been sleeping at dawn, noticed that Mellina had used magic and came to this place.

 

The magic Mellina had cast was none other than a barrier.

 

“Did Arron ask you to do this?”

 

“Yes. He said he wanted to help the graduates too and asked me.”

 

“Really?”

 

Leo stood on the cliff and looked down below.

 

“Will the graduates be able to gain much from this?”

 

“That depends on what they make of it themselves.”

 

Leo said while keeping his gaze on Arron, who was facing Ris and Banir.

 

“But just facing the strongest will give them a lot to gain. When it comes to martial arts, Arron is at the pinnacle.”

 

Ris looked at the man standing before him while breathing heavily.

 

He had given his all from the start against the beastman in front of him.

 

Knowing that he was a strong opponent who stood above them, he hadn’t let his guard down from the beginning.

 

But even though he had entered the battle with such thorough preparation, the results unfolding before his eyes were hard to accept.

 

‘He didn’t counterattack even once.’

 

Despite the endless offensive from Ris and Banir, Arron didn’t attack.

 

All attacks were blocked.

 

It was like facing a wall of unknowable height.

 

‘Where on earth did such a person appear from?’

 

“Your full power shouldn’t be just this much, should it?”

 

Arron said while looking at Ris and Banir.

 

“Show me your true strength.”

 

Arron raised his hand.

 

Whooooo-!

 

Golden aura flowed from his fingertips.

 

Seeing this, Ris and Banir flinched and trembled.

 

“If that’s difficult, should I come to you instead?”

 

The moment Arron smiled and took a step forward.

 

Flash-!

 

An arrow flew toward Arron along with a pure white flash.

 

Kwagagagagagagang-! Jjeojeojeojeojeok-!

 

Arron reached out and caught the arrow.

 

Tak-!

 

At that moment, cold air exploded from the arrow and engulfed Arron.

 

Arron’s body froze.

 

Arron rolled his eyes toward the direction the arrow had come from.

 

‘A fusion of aura and magic. The power is considerable.’

 

“Haap!”

 

Banir closed the distance with Arron.

 

Jjeojeok-! Jjaeng-!

 

Arron broke through the ice and lunged at Banir.

 

Hwak-!

 

Instantly, Banir’s body turned into black smoke and disappeared.

 

‘Aura characteristic.’

 

Arron’s super senses opened.

 

At that moment.

 

Hwareureureuk-!

 

A massive pillar of flame shot up.

 

Arron looked at Ris.

 

Gooooooo-!

 

The blazing flames of the Phoenix compressed into Ris’s sword.

 

Ris gripped the sword rippling with crimson light in both hands and took a stance to swing it toward Arron.

 

At the same time, he felt Riennia’s bow aiming at him from far away.

 

Hwaak-! Piing-!

 

Sword and arrow targeted Arron from both directions.

 

Arron spread both hands.

 

Hwareureuk! Jjeojeojeojeong-!

 

The blazing sword strike and the freezing arrow aimed at Arron.

 

In an instant.

 

Gooooooo-!

 

“What?”

 

Ris’s eyes filled with shock.

 

Arron’s aura enveloped the blazing aura and the freezing aura.

 

Hwioooo-!

 

As if guiding a water current.

 

When Arron brought his hands together, opposing forces rotated within his palms.

 

Riennia, who was watching from afar, also showed an expression of dismay.

 

Ris and Riennia had delivered their strongest possible attacks.

 

But they didn’t think this would be enough to defeat Arron.

 

They simply tried to bind his hands and feet and create an opening the moment Arron defended against their attacks.

 

The plan was for Banir, the fastest of the three, to exploit that opening.

 

But thrillingly, Arron didn’t just block Ris and Riennia’s attacks but took control of them.

 

‘No, if I cut through that aura!’

 

Banir approached Arron from within the darkness.

 

At that moment, Banir felt his heart sink.

 

Banir, who had perfectly hidden himself in the darkness, made eye contact with Arron.

 

At that moment.

 

Jjeojeojeojeojeojeok! Hwareureureuk!

 

The freezing arrow flew toward Ris and the blazing sword strike flew toward Riennia in the distance.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Hwareureureuk-!

 

Ris unleashed the Phoenix’s aura.

 

Jjeoeoeoeoeoek-!

 

But he couldn’t fully defend against the attack and was sent flying.

 

Kwaang! Hwareureureuk-!

 

Riennia also couldn’t defend against the attack.

 

Teok-!

 

“Keuk?”

 

Banir was subdued with his throat caught by Arron.

 

Banir, who had been struggling to counterattack, soon let his body go limp.

 

The match was decided.

 

It wasn’t a level of being one or two steps ahead.

 

‘It’s a different dimension.’

 

Arron, who had been looking at Banir, smiled slightly and released his grip.

 

Thud-

 

Banir collapsed to the ground as if his strength had left him.

 

“Excellent. You are heroes sufficient to shoulder an era. I’m relieved.”

 

Ris approached, pushing away the freezing aura with his own aura.

 

Riennia, who emerged from the forest with her entire body scorched, looked at Arron in disbelief.

 

“Is there a need to be relieved? You’re already a strong person from a different dimension.”

 

Riennia asked through gritted teeth.

 

Looking at such Riennia, Arron answered.

 

“It has nothing to do with me being strong. You’re still young, aren’t you?”

 

Arron helped Banir, who was sitting and looking up at him, to his feet.

 

“You still have a bright future ahead. You’ll become even more amazing in the future. In that sense, I’d like to help you.”

 

“Help?”

 

“Would you like to learn this?”

 

Arron extended his hand.

 

Golden aura was swirling above it.

 

“Huh?”

 

The three people wore shocked expressions.

 

Arron looked at the aura rotating above his palm and said.

 

“It’s not really a special technique or anything. It’s just a kind of trick that can maximize the power of aura. Depending on how you apply it, you can deflect other people’s attacks like I did earlier.”

 

The three people recalled how Arron had deflected Ris and Riennia’s attacks earlier.

 

“It’s still a dangerous technique for 2nd years to learn. Would you learn it and teach it to your juniors later?”

 

“What’s the reason for teaching us such an amazing technique?”

 

Ris asked with a somewhat confused expression.

 

He knew that the man before him was teaching a technique called supersense to the 2nd years.

 

He had also grasped how amazing that technique was.

 

But now, in addition to that, he was saying he would pass on another aura skill to them.

 

Arron smiled at Ris’s question.

 

“Because I want peace of mind.”

 

When Ris and Riennia wore expressions of confusion at Arron’s answer.

 

Banir’s eyes widened greatly as she stared at the golden aura rotating in Arron’s hand.

 

‘The aura rotates in a spiral? And it maximizes the power of aura…?’

 

3000 years ago.

 

Great Warrior Ajonia, who was said to be the successor of Hero Arron.

 

If Comet Mage Seirun had reestablished star magic, then Great Warrior Ajonia had succeeded in recreating Hero Arron’s aura skills.

 

Ajonia was also the one who created the [Hero’s Breath] used by the Suin.

 

There was one representative skill of such Ajonia.

 

‘Spiral.’

 

A technique that maximizes power by rotating aura.

 

‘Lady Ajonia said this was also Lord Arron’s technique.’

 

Like Hero’s Breath, Spiral was also something Ajonia had tried to pass on to the Suin.

 

But before that could happen, the Heroes of the Cataclysm left the world.

 

And now, the aura skill Arron was using was too similar to Ajonia’s lost technique.

 

‘A Suin man who uses a lost technique and golden aura, and even has an appearance similar to Lord Arron.’

 

Banir’s eyes widened greatly.

 

“Could it be… you are…?”

 

Banir looked at Arron with trembling eyes.

 

Seeing such Banir, Arron covered his mouth with his index finger.

 

Seeing Arron smile gently, Banir’s body trembled.

 

‘Hero… Arron?!’
