459.

 

Leo unfolded the letter from the Emperor of the Rodren Empire.

 

Everyone wore tense expressions as they watched Leo read the handwritten letter.

 

“What is it? What did His Majesty say to you?”

 

Selia, who was beside him, asked urgently.

 

“Why are you making a bigger fuss than me?”

 

Selia made an incredulous expression at Leo’s indifferent voice.

 

“You’re being strangely too calm about this, you know?”

 

Lumerne students are respected and well-treated wherever they go.

 

But even so, receiving a handwritten letter directly from the Emperor of Rodren is a different story entirely.

 

The Emperor of Rodren is an absolute ruler of the western continent who refuses comparison with ordinary kings of nations.

 

Unlike the Shan Empire, which has similar national power but is called the Shadow Kingdom and acts secretly without much external activity, the Rodren Empire was an empire that actively used its national power without hiding it.

 

Its external influence extends beyond the western continent to affect the entire world.

 

“So? What does it say?”

 

At Avad’s question, Leo put the letter back in the envelope and answered.

 

“It’s content recommending me to join Imperium, Rodren’s hero guild.”

 

“What?”

 

“Was that really what it said?”

 

Surprised reactions came from here and there.

 

Raina nodded with an “as expected” expression.

 

“Wow, this is incredible, isn’t it? Even though you’re the youngest student council president, you’re still just a student, yet you’re getting a recruitment offer. And from Imperium at that?”

 

Cal exclaimed in amazement.

 

Imperium Guild.

 

As a hero guild under the Rodren Imperial family, it was practically the only hero guild existing in the western continent.

 

Its strength and influence are evaluated as the second strongest among human hero guilds, following Lumern’s Twilight, which is considered the strongest, and it’s a hero guild that has achieved countless merits on the front lines against Tartaros.

 

“That’s quite groundbreaking. For Imperium, this is an exceptional case where they’ve even changed the guild’s admission conditions.”

 

Chloe said with surprise.

 

Imperium Guild only allows those who have their names on the Hero Record to join.

 

In the world, Imperium was the only guild where all members had achieved hero status.

 

Even Jis Jerdinger and Rojess Rwallin, who came as the Emperor’s envoys, hold important positions within the empire but cannot belong to Imperium because they haven’t earned the title of hero.

 

“Wow~ So even Imperium wants Leo, who’s still a hero candidate? But what could be the reason they moved so drastically? Class President, you belong to the Jerdinger family anyway, so wouldn’t you naturally join Imperium after graduation?”

 

“There must have been a reason why Imperium had to move quickly. By the way, wouldn’t it be impossible to join a hero guild while still a student?”

 

When Iliana expressed her doubt, it was when Nella let out a small sigh.

 

“How long do you plan to block our path?”

 

“I am delivering a letter from His Majesty, the great Emperor of Rodren. Please refrain from causing a disturbance.”

 

“Do you think the authority of a human emperor will work on me?”

 

An arrogant voice could be heard along with raised voices from outside.

 

Shortly after.

 

The outside became noisy, then the door opened roughly and an elf with handsome features entered.

 

The students’ eyes widened at the sight.

 

Eiran wore a troubled expression and Runia slightly frowned.

 

“What a troublesome fool has come.”

 

“Is he a famous person?”

 

Arga asked at Runia’s muttering.

 

Then Cal, who was beside them, gulped nervously.

 

“Isn’t that the Crescent Sword, Amedius?”

 

“Crescent Sword?”

 

“That hero from Stella Illumino?”

 

The students showed surprised expressions.

 

Crescent Sword, Amedius Glaise.

 

He was a hero belonging to the elves’ hero guild, Stella Illumino, and a new generation hero who had his name inscribed on the Hero Record three years ago.

 

He was the most famous among the new generation heroes of the elves.

 

The reason was that he was a man with fanatical aspects who absolutely believed in the teachings of Luna and Seirun and praised the great deeds they left behind.

 

Thanks to that, he was notorious as an extreme racist.

 

“It would be troublesome if he says something like ‘I cannot acknowledge you’ to Leo.”

 

Runia frowned.

 

The fact that Leo had previously received a staff from Seirun and became Seirun’s official successor was already a famous story.

 

However, in elven society, there still exist elves who cannot accept this fact and stubbornly claim it was wrong.

 

Considering that they were all extreme racists.

 

If it was the notorious Amedius, he might very well say such things.

 

‘If someone who has reached the position of hero makes such claims when it’s already officially known that Leo is Seirun’s successor, that would be a huge problem.’

 

Runia stood up to stop Amedius.

 

Eiran also stood up restlessly.

 

‘The Crescent Sword must not be disrespectful to Leo.’

 

For Eiran, who knew Leo was the Hero of the Beginning, it was heart-burning.

 

It was when Eiran tensed up, determined to somehow stop Amedius if he tried to do something foolish.

 

While everyone was tense, Amedius walked step by step toward Leo.

 

“If you have business with Leo Flobe, how about following proper order?”

 

Jis showed displeasure and blocked his way.

 

But Amedius snorted and pushed past Jis to stand before Leo.

 

It was when Jis was about to explode in anger at that behavior.

 

Thud!

 

Everyone wore blank expressions at the situation unfolding before their eyes.

 

“It is my first time meeting you. My name is Crescent Sword, Amedius Glaise. Leo Flobe. It is an infinite honor to meet you.”

 

Amedius knelt on one knee and greeted Leo very respectfully.

 

Moreover, this was not behavior an elder should take toward someone younger.

 

Furthermore, Leo was still a hero candidate while Amedius was a hero.

 

Both in age and external status, Amedius was superior.

 

Despite this, Amedius treated Leo with full courtesy.

 

Moreover, Leo was human.

 

“Nice to meet you too. But why are you speaking formally to me?”

 

“Leo is the official successor of the noble Seirun. As an elf, showing respect to such a Leo is natural. Please speak comfortably to me.”

 

Amedius looked up at Leo with eyes that showed not a trace of wavering.

 

‘Why are his eyes like that?’

 

Leo, who had been looking at the elf with clear eyes that sparkled beyond mere brightness, clicked his tongue.

 

This type of elf usually doesn’t respond to words or common sense.

 

Knowing this fact well, Leo just accepted it now.

 

“Then I’ll speak comfortably.”

 

Amedius smiled at Leo’s words.

 

“So what’s the reason you came to find me?”

 

“To deliver this letter to Leo.”

 

Amedius took out an enclosed letter from his chest and handed it to Leo.

 

The letter bore the guild mark of Stella Illumino.

 

Seeing this, Jis and Rojess’ eyes narrowed.

 

“Stella Illumino wants Leo to come.”

 

Amedius’ eyes gleamed.

 

“Stella Illumino is the hero guild established by Seirun! Stella Illumino can be said to be the hero guild most suitable for Leo!”

 

“So that was the reason Imperium moved.”

 

“To think Stella Illumino is also trying to recruit the Class President, this is a major event.”

 

“Considering that Leo is Seirun’s successor, it’s not strange, but… it’s shocking.”

 

Stella Illumino.

 

Among the Elves’ hero guilds, it was the most prestigious of the prestigious.

 

Unlike Imperium, not all guild members were heroes, but in some ways it was the most difficult hero guild to join.

 

Only Elves could join, and even among Elves, only a chosen few could enter.

 

The fact that they were willing to break that tradition to take Leo with them was certainly shocking.

 

“Leo is a person of the Rodren Empire. It’s natural for him to join Imperium, the Empire’s guild. How can he join an Elf guild?”

 

As Jis stepped forward and spoke, Amedius, who had risen from his seat, curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

Unlike when he had bowed his head to Leo, he was wearing an extremely arrogant smile.

 

“It seems much more natural for Leo, the successor of Seirun, to join Stella Illumino, doesn’t it?”

 

An ominous atmosphere began to flow between the two.

 

The atmosphere hadn’t been good from the start when they had barged in indiscriminately.

 

With the addition of a conflict over Leo’s hero guild admission, an atmosphere that seemed ready to explode at any moment began to flow.

 

Everyone wore tense expressions.

 

In the midst of this, Leo, who was folding the letter again, spoke.

 

“I don’t really have any intention of joining either Imperium or Stella Illumino though?”

 

Everyone’s eyes widened at Leo’s words.

 

He had no interest even though he received admission offers from guilds that everyone dreamed of joining?

 

“Hey, are you perhaps trying to join Twilight?”

 

“No.”

 

“Then which guild are you going to join?”

 

As everyone watched with puzzled faces, Leo opened his mouth.

 

“I was thinking of making one.”

 

“What?”

 

Everyone looked shocked.

 

“This works out well. Should I establish one with this opportunity?”

 

Watching Leo speak casually as if he were creating a club, Chloe said.

 

“Hero guilds aren’t something you can just make because you want to. In the first place, you need to meet qualifications for establishment.”

 

“The qualification of having to obtain hero status?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Chloe nodded at Leo’s question.

 

Of course, Leo also knew those qualification requirements.

 

But…

 

‘I just need to ask Mellina to change the agreement.’

 

Leo’s name was already recorded in the Hero Record as Kail, the Hero of the Beginning.

 

And on the very first page at that.

 

There was no way Leo’s name would be recorded again.

 

For Leo, it was uncertain whether he could meet the qualification conditions.

 

‘I thought about having someone else be the founder, but the place that permits hero guild establishment is Dragonnia anyway, right?’

 

And the supreme authority of Dragonnia was none other than Mellina, the Dragon Lord.

 

From other people’s perspective, modifying agreements to establish a guild would be an absurd story.

 

‘What in this world is impossible? If it can’t be done, just make it possible.’

 

Leo was a human who could make such absurd things possible.

 

‘The best scenario would be for me to obtain the hero title myself. But since that’s difficult right now.’

 

***

 

In the deepest part of Lumern.

 

At the very center of the Forbidden Library, where countless heroes’ relics and records lay dormant, the Hero Record of humans slept.

 

When a new human hero was born, their name would be written here.

 

Only those specially appointed by the Dragon Lord could become librarians of this place.

 

The librarian of Lumern.

 

It was when Desitian was guarding the entrance to the Forbidden Library with an expressionless face.

 

Crack-!

 

Suddenly, the closed Hero Record opened.

 

Discovering this sight, Desitian knelt down.

 

Having served as the librarian of the Forbidden Library for a long time, he knew.

 

This was truly a divine revelation.

 

It was the moment when the name of a noble hero who had accomplished a feat recognized by the gods would be written in the Hero Record.

 

Flutterflutter-!

 

Countless pages unfolded.

 

Thud-!

 

Finally, the last page was revealed.

 

Whoooosh-!

 

With bright light, a name began to emerge.

 

Watching that glorious moment announcing the birth of a new hero, Desitian trembled with emotion.

 

After a moment, the light disappeared.

 

Desitian, who had knelt toward the Hero Record in a reverent posture without moving a muscle while the name was being written, approached the Hero Record.

 

And his eyes widened greatly.

 

Originally, many things were written in the Hero Record.

 

Not only the hero’s name but also the epithets bestowed upon them by the gods.

 

And their great achievements were recorded.

 

Therefore, the Hero Record was densely packed.

 

But now it was literally blank.

 

There was no name bestowed by the gods upon the hero, nor any achievements.

 

Only one thing existed – a single name.
