465.

 

Berkia Eisar.

 

One of the three great figures of the elf race, following the lineage of Progenitor of the Starry Skies – Fairy Knight – Comet Mage.

 

She is evaluated as a hero who led the reconstruction of the world and the revival of the races after the Age of Calamity ended.

 

‘But in the current era, she’s even losing in recognition to that guy Seirun.’

 

Leo rested his chin on his hand while looking at the textbook.

 

‘It can’t be helped. There aren’t many Hero Records of that guy Berkia left either. Besides, though she’s classified as a figure from the Age of Heroes, strictly speaking, she’s from the same era as us.’

 

A whole 5000 years.

 

Berkia’s tales have been passed down through the Eisar family, her descendants, but the content is quite old.

 

On top of that, the Hero Records were damaged 3000 years ago during the process of sealing fragments of Erebos.

 

3000 years ago.

 

Compared to Seirun, who once again saved the world from Erebos, it was natural that she would lose in recognition.

 

Leo had also searched for records about his disciple Berkia.

 

But among all those records, he couldn’t find any specific records related to Berkia’s power.

 

‘But Berkia’s growth potential was limitless even back then. Berkia wouldn’t have stopped training either.’

 

Thinking of his disciple, Leo smiled with a slightly bitter expression.

 

He had no great regrets about his previous life.

 

Though he lived in an era when the world reached the brink of destruction, he had those who were like family, and in the end, he saved the world.

 

Although he passed it on to future generations in an incomplete state, he gained another chance to end the primordial evil with a new life.

 

The death of his family-like friends was heartbreaking.

 

But not a single one of them regretted their own death.

 

Not one person shed tears over the future they couldn’t achieve or see.

 

That’s why Leo only grieved for his friends’ deaths.

 

He didn’t pity them.

 

Kail’s life was the same.

 

Though it was a life of only being robbed and losing things.

 

Since he had achieved something meaningful, there were no regrets.

 

‘However, if there were any lingering feelings and attachments.’

 

It was that he couldn’t watch his disciples’ growth to the very end.

 

Bihar’s life in particular was regrettable.

 

‘Even though she could have lived sufficiently in the light, she lived in darkness.’

 

She too must have walked that path to protect the world left behind by the great heroes, but as Leo, it left a bitter taste.

 

Berkia was the same.

 

Since it was such a distant past, Leo didn’t know about his disciple after his own death.

 

Berkia and Lumern.

 

The reason he evaluated it as difficult to determine the superiority between the two was because of this.

 

How much Berkia had grown.

 

Leo couldn’t know what domain she might have reached.

 

But…

 

‘It was a talent that Luna and Arron acknowledged. Her sense as a magic swordsman was also outstanding. She must have become incomparably stronger than the Berkia I remember.’

 

Though she couldn’t learn Luna’s Star Magic, she completed her own solid magical worldview based on the magical knowledge her master had passed down.

 

Though she couldn’t fully inherit Arron’s aura skills, she created her own techniques with the skills her master had taught her.

 

‘Now that I think about it again, the regret is great.’

 

Leo closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

 

‘What kind of person did Berkia grow up to be?’

 

While Leo was thinking of Berkia.

 

Opinions were divided among the students.

 

Generally, the atmosphere was to support the Twilight Knight, who was much more familiar to them.

 

Watching such students, Mel spoke.

 

“As you all know, Lord Lumern is one of those who saved the world once again following the Great Heroes.”

 

Step- Step-

 

“On the other hand, Lord Berkia is known to us for rebuilding the world, as we know.”

 

The students nodded their heads.

 

“But was rebuilding the world really easy?”

 

“Well, it must have been difficult.”

 

“Of course it wouldn’t have been easy.”

 

“But Erebos had already disappeared by that era, right?”

 

Mel nodded at the students’ words.

 

“That’s right, but even if Erebos had disappeared, did the world immediately welcome peace?”

 

“That’s…”

 

As the students trailed off, Mel wrote the word 【Great War】 on the blackboard.

 

“Though few records remain, you’ve all heard of the Great War, haven’t you?”

 

The Great War.

 

It was a war started by Tartaros after Erebos was subjugated, to fulfill Erebos’s long-cherished wish.

 

“Academia doesn’t pay much attention to this war. It was right after Erebos was subjugated. It was a time when Tartaros suffered devastating damage with Erebos’s disappearance.”

 

The students nodded at Mel’s words.

 

“But Tartaros’s power was still intact at that time. Even without their authority, legion commanders were still legion commanders. Tartaros’s forces at that time were mighty. According to records, the time when Tartaros was most powerful during the 5000-year Age of Heroes was precisely then.”

 

The fight for the world’s fate didn’t end even after Erebos was subjugated.

 

“According to records, the Great War lasted 10 years. It was Lord Berkia who led that war to victory.”

 

At those words, one student raised their hand.

 

“Even when Erebos existed, Gardstron blocked Tartaros’s attacks, didn’t they?”

 

“Yes. But just as Tartaros was without Erebos, the world had also bid farewell to the Great Heroes.”

 

At those words, the students fell silent.

 

Mel smiled brightly.

 

“What’s important in today’s class isn’t whether the early heroes are great or the later heroes are great. Whether Lord Lumern is stronger or Lord Berkia is stronger. What I hope you all understand is that the heroes of the early era were just as great and strong as the later heroes. That’s the main content of today’s class.”

 

Ding-dong-dang-dong-

 

Just then, the bell signaling the end of class rang.

 

While organizing her books, Mel smiled brightly.

 

“Next time, please write a report on the heroic tales of the early heroes and what we can learn from them. That’s all.”

 

At Mel’s words, sighs poured out from here and there.

 

This was because materials about early era heroes were hard to find.

 

“Ugh! We’ve been given a difficult assignment.”

 

Iliana scratched her head vigorously.

 

“But I think it’s necessary class content. At the last summit meeting, the existence of Hero Records from heroes before the Age of Calamity was officially confirmed, wasn’t it?”

 

“That’s right. Hero Records of heroes that haven’t been discovered until now are being found. Maybe the day will come when we’ll conquer those Hero Records. It’s good to prepare for that time.”

 

Chen Xia smiled slightly and looked at Leo.

 

“What hero are you thinking of writing a report about, Young Master Leo?”

 

“Fairy Knight Berkia.”

 

He was planning to take it easy by writing about his disciple.

 

“Oh ho, then as a magic swordsman, I’ll also write about Lord Berkia…”

 

“I won’t show it to you.”

 

“That’s mean!”

 

Iliana was stroking her chin but got angry at Leo’s words.

 

“Guys! News just broke!”

 

Just then, Cal, who had been talking with a staff member cleaning inside the school, opened his eyes wide and ran to where Leo was.

 

“What is it?”

 

When Iliana’s eyes lit up, Cal said.

 

“A request board has been created in the 2nd Year Dormitory Common Garden!”

 

At those words, the students nearby were startled.

 

A request board.

 

The commission announced by Sedjen this morning to grade the 2nd semester combat studies evaluation was clear.

 

It was when the students began rushing forward in a crowd.

 

Whoosh-! Smack-!

 

Gack!

 

A flying whip wrapped around Cal’s neck.

 

“Why are you telling students from other dormitories that important information first? Cal Thomas.”

 

“What’s wrong with that? It’s good if we all know together…”

 

“Did you forget that you belong to Noble?”

 

When Eliza spoke coldly, Iliana crossed her arms and laughed “Hoot-!”

 

“Didn’t you know? Cal is a spy we planted? Anyway, guys! Let’s hurry too! All the good commissions will be taken!”

 

Iliana dashed off swiftly.

 

“Hey! If he’s a spy you planted, take care of him!”

 

“You’re a Noble student!”

 

Watching Iliana shout heartlessly, Cal smiled sadly.

 

“What a tearful friendship.”

 

When Eliza snorted, Cal said.

 

“But Leo, Chloe, and Chelsea stayed behind, right? You’re all I have!”

 

“We just stayed because it doesn’t really matter which commission we take.”

 

When Chelsea spoke heartlessly, Cal chuckled.

 

“Then you won’t need these?”

 

Cal pulled out several papers from his chest.

 

Seeing them, Chloe’s eyes widened.

 

“Aren’t those commission forms?”

 

“Of course. I asked the faculty to reserve the best commissions for me when the commission board was set up. Personal connections are important, you know?”

 

Cal stroked his chin with a smug expression.

 

“I thought there was no way Cal would simply reveal all that good information.”

 

When Chen Xia smiled sweetly, Chelsea asked.

 

“Then why didn’t you give Iliana a hint too?”

 

“It’s revenge for abandoning me.”

 

Cal grinned and spread out the commission forms.

 

“By the way Leo. I only brought a few commission forms, so it’s not against school rules, right? It’s fine if I put them back.”

 

Cal looked at Leo and said.

 

“I won’t arrest you.”

 

When Leo chuckled, Cal felt relieved.

 

“There really are many good commissions.”

 

Among the A-rank commissions, there were many good ones with large rewards or easy difficulty but high scores.

 

“Cal, what commission are you going to take?”

 

“The Northern Mage Tower needs an alchemy assistant. Chloe, you know the Northern Mage Tower Lord’s daughter, right?”

 

“Yes. Sister Anyas is a half-elf, but she’s a good person.”

 

“Oh my, alchemy. They need 3 assistants – would I be able to join too?”

 

Chen Xia showed interest.

 

Listening to their conversation, Leo thought of Anyas Beggs.

 

‘Anyas? That girl whose eyes were completely crazy?’

 

Her public identity is the Northern Mage Tower Lord’s daughter, but she’s actually a Shadow.

 

Chen Xia also knew this fact, which is why she showed interest.

 

“Young Master Leo, how about this commission?”

 

“I have a commission I’m already considering.”

 

“Is that so?”

 

When Chen Xia showed disappointment, Chloe said.

 

“Then should I try going?”

 

Chloe showed interest.

 

“What commission are you planning to take, Leo? Did you get specifically requested?”

 

When Chelsea tilted her head and asked, Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

“No, there’s just a commission that caught my attention.”

 

***

 

One week later.

 

The area in front of the Warp Gate was full of 2nd year students.

 

Starting today, the 2nd years were deployed on commission missions and dispatched outside the Academy.

 

Leo’s destination was none other than the Northeastern Continent Outskirts.

 

The commission was the [Hero’s Tomb Grave Robbery Investigation] commission he had seen at the Central Square before.

 

‘The northeastern continent is where various small kingdoms are competing for hegemony, right?’

 

It was currently the region with the most chaotic security and political situation on the continent.

 

‘The commissioning kingdom is a viscounty of the Carnel Kingdom.’

 

Leo was organizing the commission details when.

 

‘By the way, there’s another student besides me taking this commission?’

 

Since it was a commission with strong mystery elements, he thought he’d be the only one, but it seemed there was another eccentric who would take such a commission.

 

‘Could it be that someone followed along because I took the commission?’

 

Since he knew that female students had been showing excessive interest in him lately, he had that suspicion.

 

Because unless someone was quite an eccentric, they wouldn’t take such a commission.

 

Leo was pondering when.

 

“Oh? Are you Leo, who took the [Hero’s Tomb Grave Robbery Investigation] commission?”

 

A familiar voice spoke to Leo as if pleased.

 

Leo turned his head and looked at the student approaching him.

 

The female student with dignified steps was none other than 3rd year representative Ril Ruche.

 

“Are you my partner, senior?”

 

“That’s right! Leo! I never expected you’d like mysteries!”

 

Lil smiled brightly and grasped Leo’s hand, shaking it.

 

“Senior, may I ask why you took this commission?”

 

“Yes! Because it’s a mystery!”

 

‘I knew it, but she’s quite an eccentric too.’

 

Leo chuckled inwardly.
