462

 

After the second semester opening ceremony ended.

 

Students who had finished their departmental schedules entered the dormitory building.

 

“Come back home!”

 

Iliana, who was the first to enter Glory Dormitory, ran and dove onto the lounge sofa like she was diving into it.

 

“I missed the lounge sofa so much~”

 

Iliana rolled around on the sofa as if it were her own bedroom.

 

Other students naturally settled into the lounge and took their seats.

 

“Hey, how was your training camp?”

 

“How was it meeting a real hero in person? Did he have an intimidating presence?”

 

“I’m so jealous! I wish I could have been there!”

 

Students flocked around those who had participated in the training camp.

 

It was to ask about the training camp that they couldn’t freely inquire about due to the opening ceremony schedule.

 

Among them, what the classmates were most curious about was naturally about Arron.

 

Seeing the dormitory friends gathering around her, Iliana sat up straight on the sofa, straightened her back, and spoke with dignity.

 

“If you’re curious, offer cookies and tea to this one.”

 

As soon as those words ended, the classmates who had gathered around Iliana coldly turned away from her and approached Chen Xia and Chloe.

 

“Having snacks while sharing stories wouldn’t be bad either.”

 

When Chloe said this with a smile, they cheered “Ohhh!” and headed to the store.

 

“Why do they prepare everything when Chloe says it!”

 

“You told them to only prepare stuff for you to eat alone.”

 

“Right, it’s not like you’re a pig.”

 

“How do I look like a pig! And what kind of harsh words are those to say to a lady?!”

 

Iliana wildly swung the cushion in her hand at the jeering male students.

 

“Everyone’s so noisy.”

 

Leo, who entered the dormitory lounge, said with a smile.

 

“Leo, we’re about to talk about what happened during the training camp. Come here.”

 

Chloe smiled and patted the spot next to her on the sofa with her palm.

 

Then the noisy lounge atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

 

Chloe and Iliana looked puzzled at the sudden change.

 

“I’m going to go up early and rest today.”

 

“You’re going to bed quite early.”

 

When Chen Xia, who was standing nearby, tilted her head, Leo said.

 

“It was hectic because of the opening ceremony, so I’m a bit tired.”

 

“That’s true, as student council president you must be tired from your schedule. Should I bring anything up to your room if you need it?”

 

“It’s fine.”

 

When Leo went up to his room, the slightly awkward atmosphere relaxed a bit.

 

When Chen Xia entered the lounge and sat in a rocking chair in one corner, Chloe asked with a puzzled look.

 

“Why is everyone acting like that?”

 

“Like what?”

 

“Everyone seems awkward around Leo.”

 

Looking at Chloe who asked with a puzzled face, the Glory students scratched their heads.

 

“You guys might not feel it as much since you were at Leo’s house during the training camp and throughout summer vacation.”

 

One of the Glory male students scratched his cheek.

 

“It’s complete chaos right now.”

 

At those words, Chloe and Iliana looked at each other’s faces.

 

“At first, the only thing of interest was the story of the primordial evil that descended again and Lord Arron who defeated it.”

 

Chen Xia said.

 

“But after some time passed and the world’s leading hero guilds began coveting Young Master Leo, the world’s attention gradually focused on him.”

 

That was exactly right.

 

The public, who had been captivated only by the heroic tale rewritten by the great hero who saved the world, began to focus on the existence called Leo.

 

“After that, when his name was even listed in the Hero Record, countless members of the public began to be enthusiastic about Young Master Leo.”

 

The world always desires the birth of new heroes.

 

Especially if it’s a hero who builds heroic tales comparable to the heroes of legends and myths.

 

Until now, Leo’s status was still that of a hero candidate.

 

This world is one where only those who receive divine recognition and have their names listed in the Hero Record are truly revered as heroes.

 

As such, no matter how much he conquered the World of the Great Heroes and achieved great feats, Leo appeared to people as merely a promising hero candidate with a bright future.

 

But now he’s registered in the Hero Record.

 

People’s treatment was bound to change.

 

Until now he was a classmate, but now it’s different.

 

“Leo has already reached the level that we would spend our entire lives aiming for.”

 

The male student scratched his head.

 

“How should I put it, we knew he was an amazing guy before too. But now it feels like he’s beyond our reach?”

 

Another female student also sighed softly.

 

‘Certainly, Young Master Leo now stands in a position that students can’t dare to look up to.’

 

Even she, who was the top of the 2nd year Knight Academy, couldn’t dare to gauge Leo’s abilities.

 

As such, other students would feel he’s at a height they can’t even dare to look up to.

 

“Leo’s school life will certainly be completely different from before.”

 

Chloe muttered while lost in thought.

 

“Those who want Leo will move even more blatantly.”

 

Hearing those words, Iliana made a slightly sullen expression.

 

“Right, even those kids who were just watching from the sidelines will move more blatantly.”

 

At Iliana’s muttering, Chen Xia tilted her head.

 

“Does Miss Iliana dislike that?”

 

“Yeah. That’s right. I shouldn’t approach Chen Xia starting tomorrow.”

 

Chen Xia made a strange expression at the incomprehensible words.

 

“But you know.”

 

Chloe, who had been pondering, blinked her blue eyes and looked at the students.

 

“What exactly is Leo’s epithet?”

 

***

 

What greeted Leo when he entered his room were two women.

 

None other than Mel and Enkiniass, whom she had designated as her successor.

 

“Mel is one thing, but why is En here?”

 

“I received orders from Lord to stay here and assist Lord Leo.”

 

At those words, Leo looked at Mel.

 

“En is a capable child, so she’ll definitely be of great help to Lord Leo.”

 

“Please think of me as Lord Leo’s personal secretary.”

 

At those words, Leo chuckled.

 

“What can you do as a secretary?”

 

“To be specific, proxy attendance, proxy assignments, proxy homework, etc…”

 

“Those are all violations of school rules.”

 

“I thought these were things students would hate most.”

 

“And yet you speak so casually about such things when a professor is right in front of you.”

 

“Lord taught me that it’s not a crime if you don’t get caught.”

 

“She taught you well.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“That wasn’t a compliment.”

 

Leo clicked his tongue while looking at Mel, who was making an embarrassed expression.

 

‘How is it that she’s so good at learning precisely how to deceive others? Could this be a dragon species trait?’

 

Risinass, who was called the King of Wisdom and the Light of Hope.

 

He appeared to be a fair and just leader, but in reality he was a master of all kinds of deception and fraud.

 

‘Well, there are many deceptions and frauds made with truth too. Whatever the case, he’s really good at copying bad things.’

 

Leo let out a small sigh and looked at En.

 

‘This guy is definitely capable.’

 

He had played a major role in the recent battle against the fragment of Erebos.

 

‘He has to be capable since Mel chose him as her successor. Most importantly, this kid’s unique magic will be a great help.’

 

En’s unique magic, Mirror.

 

It was magic that could perfectly imitate the appearance of others.

 

“Well, if you’re helping, there’s no reason to stop you. Please take care of me from now on.”

 

At those words, En bowed his head.

 

“By the way, Mel. Did you check the Hero Record with my name written on it?”

 

Leo still hadn’t been able to confirm the Hero Record with his own name written on it.

 

“Yes.”

 

“What exactly was written there?”

 

“Only Leo-nim’s name was written.”

 

At those words, Leo fell into thought.

 

When Leo heard the news that his name had been written in the Hero Record, he was surprised.

 

On one hand, he worried that his identity might be revealed, but it seemed there was no need for such concern.

 

“Why is only my name written? Has there ever been a hero in history who only had their name listed in the Hero Record?”

 

“There has never been such a case until now. Leo-nim is the first in history.”

 

At Mel’s answer, Leo fell into contemplation.

 

‘My name is already written in the Hero Record.’

 

The first hero recorded in the Hero Record.

 

‘Moreover, I am also the owner of the Hero Record.’

 

In such a situation, only his name was written alone without any epithet or great deed.

 

‘It was said to be written on the last page.’

 

“Leo-nim, this is just my opinion, but…”

 

“Tell me.”

 

“Perhaps your name was written because Leo-nim wanted it?”

 

Mel also knew the fact that Leo was the owner of the Hero Record.

 

Moreover, Leo had rewritten the Hero Record several times.

 

He had recorded the stories of heroes who were active in the past, during the Age of Calamity, in the Hero Record, including the Book of Shadows.

 

He had even revived the record of Seirun, the Comet Mage, which had been burned away.

 

Those were not records of the gods.

 

They were records written by Leo Flobe, the owner of the Hero Record.

 

“Hmm. That’s quite a plausible story.”

 

Leo stroked his chin and chuckled.

 

“An unnamed hero, that’s not bad.”

 

“Don’t you covet the flashy epithets that exist?”

 

“Not particularly.”

 

“That’s so like you, Leo-nim. Everyone covets the epithets bestowed by the Hero Record.”

 

“I already have a decent epithet called the Hero of the Beginning. It would be ridiculous to covet names given by the gods like children at this point.”

 

En, who had been listening to their conversation, spoke up.

 

“I think any flowery words before Leo-nim’s name would be meaningless to begin with.”

 

En, who was beside them, spoke with an expressionless face.

 

“Leo-nim is noble by your very existence. You are the greatest among all who exist in this world.”

 

“En knows what’s up!”

 

Mel smiled brightly.

 

En already knew Leo’s identity from hearing it from Mel.

 

“Oho.”

 

Leo, who had been admiring En’s words, chuckled.

 

“Then who is greater between me and that guy Risinass?”

 

“That would naturally be the King of Wisdom.”

 

Smack-!

 

“Why are you hitting me?”

 

Mel, who had received a flick on the forehead, held her head and made a tearful face.

 

“For educating my successor poorly. Just a moment ago you said I was the greatest in the world, then you changed your words.”

 

“That’s because Risinass-nim passed away long ago.”

 

En answered with a face that showed no wavering.

 

Leo clicked his tongue while looking at En and asked Mel.

 

“Do you think I’m great, or do you think that guy Risinass is great?”

 

“That would naturally be Risinass-nim.”

 

Leo mercilessly smacked the head of Mel, who stubbornly maintained her position despite knowing she would be hit.

 

After the conversation about the Hero Record.

 

Leo spoke up.

 

“Mel.”

 

“Yes, Leo-nim.”

 

“Use the Lord’s authority to dispatch dragons throughout the world.”

 

“Is this to prepare for a possible invasion from Tartaros?”

 

At Mel’s question, Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

“There probably won’t be any large-scale invasion from Tartaros like you’re thinking.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

Mel made a puzzled expression.

 

“The Overlord King is a more sinister guy than you think.”

 

Leo clicked his tongue.

 

“5000 years ago. Even when Tartaros’s power was incomparably stronger than now, the demons couldn’t cross Gardstron, the world’s last bastion. This side had even fewer people and resources than now.”

 

“That’s because back then Leo-nim and Risinass-nim… and the great heroes were still around.”

 

“We weren’t strong enough to overturn the world’s situation from the beginning either.”

 

They became strong by crossing countless battlefields and moving forward.

 

“As I always say, we couldn’t save the world with our power alone. We weren’t the only ones who didn’t give up and risked everything for the world.”

 

Leo recalled the comrades who had stood together with him on the battlefield.

 

“The Overlord King knows. The potential of heroes. In the current situation where everything is lacking, he will absolutely never choose an all-out war. But he won’t just sit still either. Now that one fragment of Erebos has been defeated. He’s the one who suffered the most damage.”

 

“Then…”

 

“He’ll burrow even deeper into the world’s darkness. Scheming is his specialty.”

 

It was none other than the Overlord King’s achievement that Tartaros had plundered the lands of countless powerful races.

 

The Overlord King offered those plundered lands as fuel to Erebos.

 

“Even now when his authority’s power has weakened due to Erebos’s seal, that guy’s authority is still threatening.”

 

The Overlord King’s authority to dominate the dead.

 

“There’s no telling how he’s developed his authority over the past 5000 years. Moreover.”

 

Leo clicked his tongue.

 

“The fact that one more fragment of Erebos has been revived. It means it wouldn’t be strange if other fragments were revived at any time.”

 

It took 2000 years for the first fragment to revive, and another 3000 years passed before a fragment revived again.

 

The revival of the next fragment might take thousands of years.

 

But…

 

“It might not be much time left. If such a situation occurs, we need to defeat him before Tartaros like this time.”

 

“Yes, I understand.”

 

“And one more thing.”

 

Leo said while looking down at his palm.

 

“We need to find those guys’ pages.”

 

Mel could immediately understand what pages Leo was referring to.

 

“Of course they’re still searching now. But I want them to put even more effort into it. Preferably to the final pages.”

 

“If Tartaros finds out, they’ll move even more blatantly, won’t they?”

 

“Then that would be rather welcome.”

 

Leo clenched his fist.

 

“If they move on a large scale, they’ll have no choice but to leave traces. We’ll concentrate our full strength wherever they’re stirring things up. They’ll have to come at us with everything they’ve got too.”

 

A Great Hero who disappeared 5000 years ago revealing himself in the present world would be a complete disaster from Tartaros’s perspective.

 

“Now that my identity has been revealed and our hand has been shown, there’s no need to be cautious anymore.”

 

Leo’s red eyes flashed.

 

“From now on, we begin the Overlord King hunt in earnest.”
