570.

 

The day after all the schedules for the Festival of Heroes were finalized.

 

The students of Hero Academy headed toward the Warp Gate, receiving a send-off from the dragons on the main street of Dragonnia.

 

“The one who chases the starry skies!”

 

“Wow… she’s beautiful…”

 

Among them, the one receiving the most attention was, as expected, Runia.

 

The dragon children exclaimed in admiration every time Runia passed by.

 

Her brilliant red hair and beautiful face.

 

The neatly worn Seirun uniform.

 

Anyone could see she was the perfect Seirun honor student.

 

Moreover, along with Leo, she had her name recorded in the Hero Record as a student, so in some sense, being called a ‘Hero candidate’ wasn’t strange either.

 

“For some reason, it seems like all eyes are on me the most, doesn’t it?”

 

While smiling and waving her hand, Runia made an expression of incomprehension.

 

Leo had also gotten his name recorded in the Hero Record.

 

On top of that, when the third fragment of Erebos was revived, he had even been active alongside Arron.

 

Not to mention he was an unprecedented all-class user.

 

Even in such circumstances, the dragons paid far more attention to Runia.

 

“Of course they do.”

 

Then Hadin adjusted his glasses and spoke.

 

“Leo Flobe certainly surpasses you in every aspect. But people don’t care about such internal things as much as you’d think.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“Coming to Dragonnia this time made me realize. Dragons aren’t much different from us in the grand scheme of things.”

 

Wisdom students or dragons who guide heroes for the world’s sake might be different.

 

But most dragons living in Dragonnia were those who lived ordinary daily lives.

 

“What the public pays attention to is externally revealed fame. And in that sense, Runia, you’re being talked about more than any hero of this era.”

 

“It’s because of my title.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

The one who chases the starry skies, Runia El Runda.

 

The first hero recognized as a successor to a great hero.

 

While the Heroes of the Cataclysm are viewed as successors to great heroes, Runia was the first to be directly recorded in the Hero Record as a successor.

 

That’s why the public’s gaze toward Runia couldn’t help but be special.

 

“It’s a title too grand for me.”

 

When Runia muttered while looking down at her palm, Hadin chuckled.

 

“Then just become someone worthy of that title.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

“The dragons keep cheering, don’t they? How about standing together with Leo Flobe?”

 

“…”

 

At Hadin’s suggestion, Runia looked at Leo with an indescribable expression.

 

The great hero who saved the world, the man loved by Luna, Progenitor of the Starry Skies, and the man loved by Risinass, the King of Wisdom.

 

‘Please keep this story secret for now.’

 

Earlier, while collecting the oath documents, Mellina had asked those present at the scene.

 

Currently, Kail and Luna were known to the world as lovers.

 

But if it was revealed that Risinass was added to make it a love triangle, the world would surely be turned upside down.

 

If handled poorly, the honor of all three people could be damaged.

 

‘Moreover, it wasn’t even a simple romantic relationship with Risinass…’

 

Runia’s face reddened and her shoulders trembled slightly.

 

‘Two-timing? Did he play around with Luna?’

 

Earlier, things had been too chaotic to properly clear up the misunderstanding.

 

It was when all sorts of thoughts were racing through Runia’s mind.

 

‘How was it? Much better than Risinass, right?’

 

The image of Luna grabbing Leo’s collar and suddenly kissing him came to mind.

 

‘Kail, I love you.’

 

Luna conveying her feelings.

 

‘So marry me.’

 

‘I…’

 

‘I don’t need an answer.’

 

The image of Luna declaring to the world without hearing Leo’s response flashed through her mind.

 

‘My goodness. Luna only managed to convey her heart after closing her eyes…’

 

She had feelings but couldn’t bring herself to squeeze between Kail and Risinass.

 

So she only managed to convey her heart after death.

 

Runia made a pitiful expression as she recalled the sad love story.

 

As misunderstanding met misunderstanding to create new misunderstandings so splendidly, the Hero Academy students arrived at the gate.

 

“Why do you keep glancing at me?”

 

“Huh? Well, that is…”

 

When Leo clicked his tongue and asked in front of the gate, Chelsea made a flustered expression.

 

Then she fidgeted with her fingers and spoke carefully.

 

“How should I put it, it feels strange knowing that Leo oppa was a married man.”

 

Hearing those words, Leo felt his neck muscles tense up.

 

‘What should I really do about that damn fraudulent lizard?’

 

Just as Leo was about to open his mouth, thinking he should clarify before more unnecessary misunderstandings arose.

 

“Leo, why didn’t you answer Luna’s proposal back then?”

 

Runia, who had approached at some point, spoke in a sad voice.

 

“What’s that supposed to mean? Explain in detail.”

 

When Chelsea asked with wide eyes, Runia bit her lips and explained the situation from that time.

 

“My goodness… there was such a story.”

 

After hearing the story, Chelsea covered her mouth and gasped.

 

Seeing that, Leo grabbed the back of his neck.

 

‘This is driving me crazy, really.’

 

He had suddenly become someone who couldn’t even respond to a confession that was barely made after death by someone who had no choice but to hide her feelings while alive.

 

“You two, come here for a moment.”

 

Leo called the two closer.

 

Then he put his arms around the shoulders of the two girls who approached and pulled them close.

 

Runia and Chelsea, who were suddenly pressed close to Leo, gaped.

 

“Listen carefully, Risinass and I aren’t in that kind of relationship.”

 

“What? But Mellina clearly said that was a marriage oath.”

 

Runia lowered her voice and asked.

 

Leo clicked his tongue at that.

 

“Yeah, that’s probably right. But I wrote my name without even knowing it was a marriage oath.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah. That damn lizard scammed me.”

 

Leo gritted his teeth.

 

At that answer, Chelsea tilted her head.

 

“Then what about Luna?”

 

“Luna and I aren’t anything either.”

 

“Then Leo oppa didn’t know about their feelings in your past life?”

 

At Chelsea’s question, Leo thought for a moment.

 

How should he answer?

 

Luna had openly said it but it was in the elven way so he didn’t understand, and Risinass never said it but gave hints that he didn’t notice?

 

‘What an idiot.’

 

The voice of that damn pointy-eared one who had kicked his butt echoed in his head.

 

‘They’re openly teaching dragon etiquette that they don’t even need to learn, and if you can’t notice that, you’re really an idiot.’

 

‘Stop spouting nonsense that won’t work.’

The voice of that damn lizard who had headbutted him also echoed in his mind.

Leo gritted his teeth as he recalled Seirun and Rodia, who had big heads and rudely spoke to their senior without hesitation.

 

‘Those bastards, next time I meet them I’ll shave off all their hair.’

 

“It was that kind of era. We just pretended not to know in our hearts.”

 

“Ah….”

 

Chelsea nodded innocently at Leo’s lie.

 

But Runia narrowed her eyes.

 

“Really?”

 

Leo grabbed the back of Runia’s neck and pulled her close as she asked suspiciously, then asked emphatically.

 

“Do these eyes look like they’re lying?”

 

Their foreheads lightly touched.

 

Leo’s red eyes were visible right in front of her.

 

As Runia’s frozen face gradually turned red.

 

“What are you talking about so secretly?”

 

“Huk!”

 

Ar suddenly squeezed between the two of them.

 

“I get it now, so separate.”

 

Chelsea pulled the two apart with an annoyed voice.

 

Runia turned her head sharply and kept clearing her throat.

 

Meanwhile, the warp gates leading to each school activated.

 

Watching that scene, Leo said.

 

“As I mentioned yesterday, I ask for each school’s active cooperation in preparing for the Festival of Heroes.”

 

“Since we’re doing it anyway, making it spectacular wouldn’t be bad either.”

 

Marigold nodded.

 

“Don’t worry about that.”

 

Hadin adjusted his glasses.

 

Listening to that conversation, Dorbeman grinned.

 

“We Ajonia will take the victory.”

 

At those words, Marigold and Hadin looked at Dorbeman.

 

“Through this Festival of Heroes, we will announce to the world. That we have arrived.”

 

At that, Hadin curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“Good ambition. But unfortunately, the victory belongs to us Seirun.”

 

“You’re saying strange things. The victory is Demian’s.”

 

The three schools, with their pride as representatives of the Hero Academies representing their races, made threats.

 

Watching that scene, Chelsea said.

 

“The victory is ours, Lumern’s! Right? Leo oppa?”

 

“What does it matter who wins.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Chelsea made a flustered expression at Leo’s words.

 

“Let’s all do our best and work hard.”

 

Watching Leo smile brightly, Chelsea felt uneasy.

 

‘What exactly is Leo oppa plotting?’

 

***

 

Leo and Chelsea took the warp gate and returned directly to Lumern.

 

“Leo! How did the tournament go?”

 

“The schedule wasn’t set, right? The other schools couldn’t match the schedule!”

 

When they went to the student council, the student council officers who were swamped with work rushed over and asked.

 

Their faces held onto a thread of hope.

 

“The date has been set.”

 

“No way!”

 

“How is such a thing even possible!”

 

Screams erupted from here and there at Leo’s words.

 

“Oh my? Everyone has time to scream? Then shall we increase today’s quota….”

 

“No!”

 

“It’s hard enough already!”

 

“We’re sorry for screaming!”

 

At Elena’s words, who had recently started being called a tyrant, the student council officers cried out and quickly scattered to work.

 

Leo immediately entered the Student Council Room with Elena.

 

In the Student Council Room, Cal was sleeping in a sleeping bag.

 

Chelsea approached Cal and poked him with her foot.

 

“What? Why are you sleeping here? Go sleep in the dormitory.”

 

“Uuuugh- I’ll work harder when I wake up. So please let me sleep just a little.”

 

Cal writhed in agony.

 

When Chelsea looked at Elena, Elena smiled brightly.

 

“He did whatever work I gave him without any problems, so I pushed him a little too hard. Cal turned out to be higher performance than expected.”

 

‘This is why you shouldn’t be uselessly competent.’

 

Chelsea shook her head watching Cal being thoroughly exploited for labor.

 

‘Chelsea, about Cal. How about recruiting him to our family after graduation?’

 

‘Cal? That slippery guy?’

 

‘Yeah, I became certain this time. That he’ll be a great help to the Rwallin family.’

 

Lumern was also a path to getting a good job in the future.

 

Hero noble families also actively recruited talent through connections built at Lumern.

 

‘Cal would probably come eagerly if we just asked him to come, right?’

 

‘That might not be easy. Recently Duran’s been looking at Cal strangely. Well, but Cal is your best friend.’

 

Chelsea looked at Cal with somewhat pitying eyes, recalling Avad who had been happy saying that since they’d been close friends since first year, there was a high chance he’d come to Rwallin.

 

Meanwhile, Leo told Elena about the Wisdom students.

 

“That worked out well. We needed more labor anyway.”

 

Elena was truly delighted after hearing everything that happened in Dragonnia.

 

To Elena, the dragons from Wisdom were excellent labor.

 

Nothing more, nothing less.

 

“So that’s everything done?”

 

“Yeah. Now we just need to prepare hard.”

 

***

 

Before long, autumn passed and winter approached.

 

Wheeeeee-! Bang-! Bang-!

 

Fireworks exploded continuously in the skies above Lumeria City.

 

“Waaaaaaah!”

 

Finally today, the celebratory fireworks announcing the start of the Festival of Heroes began to burst.
