486.

 

With Leo defeating Tamus, everything came to a conclusion.

 

His army that had been resurrected by Tamus’s necromancy disappeared without a trace when he fell.

 

The Carnel Kingdom also found stability.

 

And after the matter was concluded, Lumern dispatched someone to organize the situation.

 

It was none other than Lumern’s vice student council president, Hark.

 

When Hark heard the story about dead Heroes being resurrected as undead by the Overlord King’s hand, his face became serious.

 

When he heard about the true nature of the Justice Guild next, he clicked his tongue.

 

And when Hark heard the story about how most of the executives including Justice Guild Master Jerome had died.

 

“Hey! Hark!”

 

“Snap out of it!”

 

He collapsed, clutching the back of his neck.

 

Vice student council president Hark was handling all the practical work of the student council president.

 

The problem was that ever since Leo became student council president, major incidents never ceased.

 

Rapidly changing world affairs.

 

The role of Hero candidates accordingly.

 

The war with paperwork invisible to others tormented Hark.

 

How else could there be talk that the current student council was the most difficult student council in Lumern’s 3000-year history?

 

Leo was dumping all the enormous workload on him.

 

On top of that, Hark had been synonymous with lazy students since enrollment.

 

Since his mana characteristic was ‘accumulation’ through sleep, it couldn’t be helped.

 

But even so, Hark was the top honor student in his grade.

 

As such, he showed extremely capable aspects as acting student council president.

 

After taking over the situation and returning to his room, Lil excitedly spoke after hearing Leo’s story.

 

“So that’s why Senior Hark is amazing.”

 

Lil’s eyes sparkled.

 

“He’s extremely capable and even has a clear character! Ah! I’m envious of that specialness.”

 

“Character?”

 

“Yes. When you say Lumern’s sleeping vice student council president, he’s famous even at other schools.”

 

“What a strange nickname to get.”

 

It was when Leo was muttering as if amazed.

 

The door opened and Hark entered.

 

“Senior Hark, hello!”

 

Lil greeted him energetically.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Hark greeted Lil with tired eyes and sat in front of Leo.

 

“This is an incident that would turn the entire student council upside down, but you’re so calm.”

 

“Ah. The Lumern Student Council is full of talent.”

 

“Right. Well said. President.”

 

Hark spoke with a serious face.

 

“I’m entering my 5th year, 2nd semester now. I’m busy too. And it wouldn’t be good for the underclassmen if someone who’s about to leave soon like me operates the school in place of the student council president. So I think I should step down from the vice student council president position now. As you said, our school has many capable students.”

 

“Retirement? That’s troublesome. Senior, you can work a bit more. Everyone thinks well of your student council management.”

 

“Please let me retire.”

 

“Don’t talk nonsense. Ah, then I’ll install a bed in the vice president’s office. If you don’t like that, I’ll arrange for you to handle work from your room without coming to the student council.”

 

“Kraaaah!”

 

“Senior Hark! Please calm down!”

 

When Hark’s eyes rolled back and he lunged at Leo, Lil was startled and stopped him.

 

When a commotion arose, student council students who had been waiting outside also hurriedly entered the room.

 

And they dragged Hark away.

 

“Appoint that Elena girl as vice president! Let me retire! Retire… mmph mmph!”

 

Hark, who had been struggling and flailing, was dragged away with his mouth covered.

 

“Leo. Just how long are you planning to work Hark to death?”

 

When one of the 5th years asked carefully, Leo smiled slightly.

 

“Until the moment he graduates.”

 

At those words, 4th year Niel Roda, who served as student council secretary, nodded and scribbled something on a record sheet.

 

“Vice president Senior Hark requested retirement, but president Young Master Leo did not grant permission. He plans to make him work until the day he graduates.”

 

Mm mm! Niel nodded and muttered to himself.

 

‘I need to get out of the student council by any means before becoming a 5th year.’

 

“Senior Niel, do you want to leave the student council?”

 

“Hieek? Y-Young Master?”

 

At the grim reaper-like voice heard from behind, Niel was startled.

 

‘H-how? Has Young Master Leo learned mind reading or something?!’

 

“N-no. How could that be? I must assist Young Master. Ahahahahaha.”

 

Niel shook his head while laughing awkwardly.

 

Looking at such Niel, Leo smiled and said.

 

“You may enter as you please, but leaving is not up to you.”

 

The faces of other 4th year students including Riel who heard those words turned pale.

 

The 5th years burst into bitter laughter.

 

‘Not just Hark, but all of us will be working until graduation day.’

 

***

 

Leo, who had entrusted all important matters to the student council seniors, spent leisurely time.

 

In the shade of the training ground, Leo was leisurely reading a book.

 

Lil was taking the initiative to gather the Orphan Soldiers at the training ground and telling them stories of Heroes.

 

Befitting a grade representative, Lil also had top scores in Hero Studies within the grade.

 

As such, since there were many interesting stories, the Orphan Soldiers were listening attentively.

 

“The Carnel Kingdom people’s image of Heroes isn’t entirely good.”

 

Anyas, who approached Leo, said.

 

“Since the Justice Guild abandoned them, that’s natural. But still, thanks to you all being active, not everyone thinks that way, right?”

 

“We’re Shadows though.”

 

“As I said before, what does that matter? Just do your best in your respective positions.”

 

Leo spoke without taking his eyes off the book.

 

“How did you handle the follow-up measures?”

 

“For now, we’re moving toward stopping the war. In the case of the Carnel Kingdom, the king and ministers will be deposed and Prince Jeremyn will inherit the throne.”

 

During the crisis situation, Jeremyn as crown prince had shown sufficient qualifications.

 

Since public sentiment had already turned to the current king, making Jeremyn king was very simple.

 

Although he was an ordinary person who couldn’t handle abilities, his appearance of devoting himself to the capital’s people without sparing his life left a deep impression not only on this country’s people but also on the Shadows.

 

“As Shadows, we shouldn’t get involved in world affairs, but… since he’s already being called a Hero, there shouldn’t be much problem.”

 

Anyas smiled brightly.

 

Secretly helping him as he became king was Anyas’s independent choice.

 

While Leo chuckled looking at such Anyas.

 

“I keep saying this, but I’m not a great person. Big brother is truly the great one!”

 

Lil excitedly gave a speech to the Orphan Soldiers.

 

“But the knights said you were like a goddess when they saw you, Captain!”

 

When one Orphan Soldier raised his hand and spoke, Lil shook her head.

 

“As I said then, I’m not a god. If there’s someone who’s truly god-like, it would be big brother over there!”

 

The Orphan Soldiers’ gazes turned toward Leo.

 

Anyas, who heard that story, clapped her hands.

 

“Indeed, Lil. To call Leo a god. You have exceptional insight!”

 

It was when Leo clicked his tongue looking at Anyas clapping enthusiastically.

 

“You three, so you were here.”

 

Jeremyn approached the royal palace training ground.

 

“I heard you’re leaving tomorrow, is that true?”

 

Lil nodded at Jeremyn’s question.

 

“Yes. Since our capable seniors are handling the aftermath for us. I need to return to the academy and focus on my studies again.”

 

“Ah, I haven’t even properly thanked everyone yet. Then I’ll hold a party tonight. As grand as possible…!”

 

Lil smiled brightly and placed her index finger over Jeremyn’s lips as he spoke frantically.

 

“But you know that taking care of the people devastated by war comes first, don’t you, Jeremyn?”

 

“L-Lil.”

 

“I’ll be waiting to hear news that you’ve become a wonderful king, Jeremyn.”

 

Jeremyn stared blankly at Lil winking at him, then said.

 

“Lil, I’ll definitely invite you to my coronation.”

 

“That would be an honor!”

 

“M-may I write to you? I mean… I’d like to let you know how these children are doing.”

 

“Yes! I’d be really happy about that. I’ll reply right away too.”

 

Jeremyn’s face brightened.

 

“I’m so happy it feels like I’ve made a new friend! We’ll definitely be good friends! Jeremyn!”

 

But soon after hearing Lil’s words, his shoulders drooped.

 

Watching such a Lil, Leo clicked his tongue.

 

“How cruel.”

 

“Lil is famous. She’s pretty and has such an upright and easygoing personality that she’s popular enough to be mentioned among students not only at Lumern but other academies too. She’s actually received many confessions.”

 

“Really? I haven’t heard such rumors particularly.”

 

“Because she unconsciously kicks them away like that.”

 

“I see. But how do you know such things so well?”

 

“As a shadow, grasping personal information about hero candidates is basic.”

 

Leo clicked his tongue at Anyas’s words.

 

Thus, the schedule in Carnel Kingdom came to an end.

 

***

 

Leo and Lil, who returned to the academy, submitted their mission reports and went back to their respective dormitories.

 

Early morning.

 

When he returned to the dormitory, it was completely empty.

 

Although tremendously many things had happened, the time Leo spent on his mission practicum was extremely short.

 

As a result, Leo became the student who completed his mission assignment and returned the fastest among all 2nd year students.

 

Leo entered the dormitory lounge and spread open a newspaper.

 

Newspapers containing various news from around the world are delivered every morning to Lumern dormitory.

 

‘There’s no mention of this incident yet.’

 

The fall of Justice Guild.

 

The undead transformation of dead heroes.

 

And the erasure of names from Hero Record.

 

Just the fall of Justice Guild alone was bound to cause tremendous repercussions.

 

‘But compared to the two events that will happen afterward, that’s nothing.’

 

It would probably be a tremendous event that would turn upside down a world that wouldn’t be surprised by ordinary matters due to the revival of Erebos fragments.

 

‘I should tell Mel to respond well.’

 

It was when Leo was sighing and reading through the newspaper.

 

“Hm?”

 

He paused upon seeing an article written as large as a door, taking up an entire page of the newspaper.

 

Then he soon chuckled.

 

“She finally did it.”

 

What was written in the article was about Runia from Seirun.

 

An article about Runia forming a pact with Phoenix was featured prominently.

 

Additionally, news that she became the next student council president of Seirun was also reported.

 

“Everyone is steadily growing.”

 

It was when Leo was smiling.

 

Flutter-!

 

The window opened and a bird-shaped low-grade wind magical beast flew in.

 

Chirp chirp chirp-!

 

The magical beast that delivered a letter to Leo flew away again immediately.

 

Seeing this, Leo checked the letter contents with a puzzled expression.

 

‘A summons from the principal?’

 

***

 

Whoooosh-!

 

A deep forest somewhere in the eastern continent.

 

This was a forest untouched by human footsteps.

 

A gentle autumn breeze blew.

 

Rustle- Rustle-

 

The sound of stepping on fallen leaves that had turned and dropped echoed.

 

The sound of crumbling leaves resonated quietly.

 

The sounds of autumn forest.

 

Rustle- Crackle- Step- Step- Step- Step-

 

The sound of the woman’s footsteps changed.

 

Soft and vibrant grass blades.

 

A spring scene spread before her eyes.

 

Eventually, the woman carefully sat in front of one of the two gravestones.

 

“I… came, Teacher.”
