516.
There’s no way to know what happened 5,000 years ago.
‘What’s certain is that darkness settled in Berkia’s heart.’
Enough to corrupt him and revive him as an undead.
It’s not simply a matter of being twisted.
Berkia came to hate the peaceful world he had so desperately wanted.
‘Will my voice truly reach him?’
The dead are unstable beings.
Even if I reveal that I’m Kail, he might not believe it.
Even if he does believe it, there’s a high chance it won’t be resolved.
Thud- Thud-
The reason why Berkia, who once viewed the world with only brightness, came to hate the world.
‘I need to find out what that is first.’
Leo took a deep breath.
‘Still, if he won’t listen, I’ll have to beat some sense into him. First, I need to sort out Lumern’s situation and pursue Berkia.’
*
“Welcome! Student Leo!”
“I hope I’m not being rude visiting at such a late hour.”
“Hehe, not at all. You’re always welcome.”
Professor Ren enthusiastically welcomed Leo, who had visited his room.
“So, what’s the reason for seeking me out at this hour? Have you finally decided to choose the magic department?”
“That’s not it.”
“That’s disappointing.”
Ren shrugged his shoulders.
Though he said that, Ren didn’t show much disappointment.
In fact, Ren had already given up on Leo’s department choice.
It wasn’t just Ren.
Ain, who had tried to get Leo to transfer to his department after seeing his talent, and even Yura no longer argued about that matter.
It was as if the part the three professors had been most worried about had been resolved.
In the case of typical dual classes, it was rare for both fields to achieve high accomplishments.
The two magic swordsmen evaluated as the strongest dual class since the Age of Heroes.
Except for Fairy Knight Berkia and Twilight Knight Lumern, there had been no dual class that achieved the realm of heroes in two abilities.
Most dual classes often ended up achieving neither when trying to catch two rabbits.
Therefore, they usually decided on one main ability and used the secondary ability as a means to strengthen it.
As a result, the three professors had no choice but to judge that Leo, an unprecedented all-class, should also focus on one ability as his main and use the other two abilities as support.
‘In the end, it was just unnecessary worry.’
Leo, being an all-class, reached exceptional levels in all abilities without exception.
‘And in less than two years at that.’
Seeing Leo, who had already reached the realm of heroes, was enough to make one’s tongue wag in amazement.
Worrying about career paths for such a Leo had now become strange.
“So, what’s the reason you sought me out? If you want to have a discussion about magic, you’re always welcome.”
Ren smiled and waved his finger.
A teapot and teacup flew toward Leo.
Warm tea poured out in the air with a trickle.
Leo took the teacup floating in the air and said.
“It’s about Luna.”
“Luna…”
Ren let out a hollow laugh.
“It would have been better if I had known she was Luna.”
Though Ren had unintentionally become the one and only professor to teach magic to the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, his regret was great.
If he had known she was Luna, he could have had deeper discussions about magic.
‘This person really is a born mage.’
Leo inwardly laughed seeing the regretful Ren and said.
“Still, Luna talked about Professor Ren a lot.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Luna’s dream was to be remembered forever in some form.”
Leo, sipping his tea, said.
“In that sense, Professor Ren fulfilled Luna’s dream.”
“Are you talking about the Introduction to Star Magic?”
“Yes. She was truly delighted when she read it. She read Professor Ren’s thesis over and over, praising you as a genius until her mouth was dry.”
“It’s the greatest honor, really, I don’t know what to do with myself.”
Ren said with genuine joy.
For a mage, could there be any greater honor than such praise?
“So I think I can trust and entrust this to Professor Ren.”
“Hmm?”
Leo opened an extradimensional space and took out four magic books.
Magic notebooks that could be easily purchased at the Lumern Campus Stationery Store.
Seeing Leo hand him notebooks with very thick content, Ren made a puzzled expression as he received them.
And he read the letters written on the cover.
“Iliana Raden?”
Tilting his head, he opened the magic book and read the contents.
Ren’s face immediately hardened.
“This is…”
“Magic formulas that Luna left behind.”
“Magic created after being inspired by Student Iliana?”
“Yes.”
“I see.”
Ren read through the magic book’s contents with a serious expression.
His pupils continued to move from left to right at tremendous speed.
After a moment, having read the initial part, Ren sequentially read the magic books labeled Chloe Muller, Avad Rwallin, and Chelsea Rwallin.
Then, organizing his thoughts, he soon took a deep breath.
And with a trembling voice, he said.
“Student Leo, you know the meaning of these magic books, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
Leo nodded.
“It’s a breakthrough.”
The magic books Luna left behind were magic she created after being inspired by four students.
They were unique magic that only each of them could use.
And the magical concepts involved in creating the magic were a dimension above the magical concepts commonly accepted in this era.
“Of course, since they’re formulas that constitute unique magic, it would be difficult to commercialize them immediately.”
Ren said with a serious face.
“Moreover, they’re not even completed.”
Even Luna, who was evaluated as the greatest genius in magical history, couldn’t create magic that would change magical history in a short time.
Therefore, the magic Luna created during her time in the present world was still in an incomplete stage.
“You’re showing me this because you want me to guide the students to complete the magic, right?”
“Yes.”
Ren fell into deep thought.
Normally, he would have eagerly accepted it.
Ren believed himself to be a genius superior to anyone in academia when it came to magic.
Of course, there were many mages more powerful than Ren.
However, in the field of research, Ren is one of the world’s leading mages.
But this time, it was too weighty a responsibility.
‘This is about researching magic left in the present world by none other than Luna herself.’
Ren, who had been pondering, opened his mouth.
“Why did you choose me?”
“If it were Luna, she would have chosen Professor Ren.”
“Me?”
“Yes. She talked about Professor Ren a lot, and you’re someone who cares for students and truly thinks only of magic.”
“Hmm.”
It was Leo who chose Ren, but even if it had been Luna, she would have chosen Ren.
After hearing Leo’s words and pondering, Ren nodded his head.
“Alright, I’ll take it on.”
“Thank you.”
Knock knock-
Just then, a knock was heard at perfect timing.
“Come in.”
As Ren finished speaking, the door opened and Cal, along with Iliana, Chelsea, Avad, and Chloe, entered Ren’s office.
“Chloe, Avad, Chelsea, Iliana. You four students, please sit here.”
Ren offered seats to the four people.
As the four sat down with puzzled expressions, Leo stood up from his seat.
“I’ll be going now.”
“Understood.”
Leo waved to the four people and left with Cal.
Creak- Click-
The door closed, and as they walked down the corridor, Cal asked.
“Why did Professor Ren want to see those four?”
“To teach them the magic Luna left behind.”
“What? Magic left by Luna? That’s amazing!”
“Don’t go around talking about this.”
“Tsk~ But my mouth is itching to tell someone.”
Cal said cheekily.
Of course, Cal wasn’t someone who would carelessly talk about such things, so Leo burst into laughter.
“By the way, what kind of magic did she leave behind?”
“They’re still incomplete magic. What form they take depends on how each person develops them.”
“Still, there must be a general concept for each magic, right?”
Cal asked curiously.
The reason for asking was simple.
‘After all, mages are jokers on the battlefield.’
Mages are beings who can overturn the tide of battle.
Anyway, excluding Leo, these are magic left by Luna for the top three students in the Magic Studies Department.
In addition, Iliana is also an incredible mage knight.
‘It would be good to use as a trump card later.’
Though Cal aspires to be a supporter, his talent for reading the flow of battle, commanding, and strategizing is the best among 2nd years.
‘Though he jokes that he’s not that good.’
The stronger one’s power, the harder it is to combine forces with others.
Heroes are beings with strong individual characteristics, so discord is inevitable.
Cal’s command solves that problem on the spot.
‘He needs not only observation skills but also flexible thinking. He’s the best as a commander.’
Leo saw through Cal’s abilities and said.
“In Iliana’s case, it’s a kind of acceleration magic.”
“Acceleration? That’s more ordinary than I thought?”
“It is ordinary. But if she becomes so fast that ordinary senses can’t perceive it, that’s a different story. The greatest advantage of light attribute magic is speed.”
Leo thought of Iliana.
“Iliana has a reckless and rough personality, so she can’t make use of her strengths.”
“Right, she’s a charging fool. To handle light magic, you need to be delicate, but with that personality, it’s impossible. In the end, she just spams large-scale magic relying on firepower and runs out of mana.”
“Exactly. So she tends to rely heavily on swordsmanship, but from observing her, Iliana has more talent for magic than aura.”
Leo said as they walked down the corridor.
“Then rather than that, one method would be to maximize her swordsmanship by utilizing that magical ability.”
“Indeed.”
Cal stroked his chin.
“What about Chloe?”
“Space domination magic.”
“Oh. An upgraded version of Ice World?”
“Right. Looking at the magic design, it intervenes in the spirit realm.”
“Huh?”
“It’s magic that makes you enter a kind of spirit state the moment you deploy the magic.”
“Hey hey hey, wait. Chloe doesn’t have talent for spirit arts, right?”
“Right. She enters the spirit realm through magic.”
“Wow… Just hearing about it makes my head spin?”
“That’s when it’s completed.”
‘Of course she’ll complete it.’
The Chloe Leo saw would complete that magic and more.
“What about that guy Avad?”
“Chantless casting, limited to wind magic.”
“What? Chantless casting?!”
Cal’s jaw dropped.
Chantless casting.
A dream realm that no one has achieved.
Even Luna is just fast.
She still needs the chanting process.
“That’s insane.”
“It is insane.”
“Then what about Chelsea?”
“Looking at just the magic effect, it’s similar to Chloe’s.”
“Oh?”
“It’s magic that freely controls all wind in a space through song.”
“Each one is more extraordinary than the last.”
“It’s an idea only Luna could come up with, and magic only she could implement.”
Leo himself was amazed.
Leo knew Luna was remarkable, but he was still newly surprised.
“Well, that’s only if those guys can complete them.”
“Wow. If they could use them, it would be really amazing, right?”
Cal was continuously amazed when.
“Come to think of it, you guys fought against heroes from the past this time, right?”
“We did fight them. Wow, it was really brutal.”
Cal shook his head repeatedly.
“From your perspective fighting alongside them, how was your classmates’ skill?”
“What are you asking? Of course they were monsters.”
Cal stuck out his tongue and continued.
“They were already monsters, but the training camp must have been a stimulus. In a short period, they all far surpassed the 2nd year level.”
“Kids really do grow fast.”
“Wow! You really seem like a mister now.”
Cal admired him purely.
Seeing Cal like that, Leo burst into chuckles.
“However.”
“However?”
At Cal’s words that followed, Leo made a puzzled expression.
“Should I say there’s one person who’s been marking time?”
Cal made a worried expression.
“Eliza hasn’t changed much.”
