578.

 

When Cal opened his eyes, pitch-black darkness consumed his vision.

 

‘What?’

 

Cal held his breath and tensed his entire body.

 

Even though he was a failing student, Cal had somehow followed Lumern’s educational curriculum.

 

As such, the Heroes’ World was familiar enough to him.

 

That’s why he could easily tell that the current situation was an emergency.

 

‘Lumern’s world?’

 

Cal quickly assessed the situation without letting his guard down.

 

‘Didn’t they say the Heroes of the Cataclysm imprisoned Erebos in their own world? In that process, all the Hero Records of the Heroes of the Cataclysm that could be used as escape routes for Erebos were discarded.’

 

There was only one Hero Record of the Cataclysm that remained intact.

 

Only the world that imprisoned Erebos.

 

‘The fact that I’ve entered Lumern’s world means I came in through one of the fragments of the discarded pages.’

 

Cal broke out in a cold sweat.

 

‘Leo definitely said before that it was him who caused Seirun to appear in the Present World, right?’

 

And the fragment of Erebos that appeared then was part of the pieces of Erebos trying to escape the Heroes’ World.

 

‘This place can also be used as a passage, can’t it?’

 

Recalling the Erebos he encountered during the summer vacation training camp, goosebumps naturally rose all over his body.

 

‘First, I need to figure out where this is and what time period it is.’

 

Location and time.

 

Those were the keys to conquering the Heroes’ World.

 

‘But why is it so dark that I can’t even see ahead? It seems like I’m lying on a bed though.’

 

‘Jail? No, the bed feels high-quality at least.’

 

Moreover, there wasn’t the characteristic dampness and smell of a prison.

 

‘It seems like there’s a nice fragrance coming from somewhere too.’

 

It was definitely inside some room.

 

‘Middle of the night? No, even so, to have no light to this extent…’

 

Cal slowly sat up.

 

Then he felt a presence stirring beside him.

 

Cal’s body stiffened.

 

‘A person? An enemy?’

 

Since he had no idea what the current situation was, Cal felt all his senses sharpen.

 

After determining that the other party had no intention to attack, Cal quietly chanted a spell.

 

“Light.”

 

Flash-!

 

A small light arose, driving away the darkness.

 

At that moment, Cal’s eyes met with an unfamiliar woman.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Cal froze as their eyes met.

 

The same was true for the other party.

 

Cal’s mouth gaped open and closed.

 

And the face of the naked woman who had been lying on the same bed as Cal turned cold.

 

Swoosh-!

 

The woman wrapped herself in the blanket and distanced herself from Cal like lightning, then picked up a rope that was scattered on the floor for some reason.

 

And she swung it like a whip.

 

Whirrr-! Crack!

 

“Urgh!”

 

Cal staggered as the rope wrapped around his neck.

 

The woman pulled Cal and dragged him off the bed.

 

Thud-! Bump-!

 

The woman pressed down on the back of Cal’s head with her soft foot as he fell forward and said.

 

“Keh! You! E, Eliza, right? It’s me! Me! Cal Thomas! Calm down!”

 

At those words, the woman, Eliza, hesitated.

 

“Cal Thomas?”

 

At those words, Eliza removed her foot from the back of Cal’s head.

 

“Blonde hair…? I see. It’s a possession-type world. But how did you recognize me?”

 

“Your eyes and the way you whip people is just so you.”

 

As Cal tried to get up while answering cheekily, Eliza hurriedly stepped on Cal’s head.

 

“Don’t lift your head!”

 

“Why?”

 

“You’re asking that now!”

 

Eliza was growling with her face reddened and shoulders slightly trembling when.

 

Bang bang-

 

“Cleri. What are you doing to be so noisy in the middle of the night!”

 

At the middle-aged woman’s voice from outside, Cal and Eliza froze.

 

Eliza removed her foot from Cal’s head.

 

Cal lifted his head and met eyes with Eliza.

 

‘Cleri? It sounds like both a male and female name?’

 

‘Being alone means this room is used by only one person.’

 

Looking at the size of the room and furniture, it was a size suitable for one person to live in.

 

“Don’t tell me you brought another female student into your room? I warned you repeatedly that if you did such a thing one more time, I’d convene the disciplinary committee?”

 

As soon as those words ended, Eliza ran to the wardrobe.

 

Cal hurriedly pushed the clothes scattered on the floor under the bed and quickly got dressed.

 

Slam-!

 

“I was sleeping, what’s all the noise about?”

 

Cal asked in a drowsy voice.

 

‘Wow, she’s a dormitory supervisor through and through.’

 

The middle-aged woman with glasses standing at the door was literally emanating the atmosphere of a typical dormitory supervisor.

 

Behind her, a male supervisor was also standing with a stern face.

 

Step-step-

 

The dormitory supervisor entered the room.

 

“Were you sleeping?”

 

“Then what else would I be doing at this hour?”

 

The other party made a suspicious expression.

 

‘Please leave. It would be troublesome if there’s a commotion!’

 

Right now, Cal had no information about the person he had possessed.

 

If a commotion arose in such a situation, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

 

The moment he aroused suspicion from surrounding people that something was strange, the conquest would go awry.

 

The dormitory supervisor looked at Cal suspiciously, then looked at the tidy room interior once more and snorted.

 

“Hmph, well. If it were you, who takes pride in breaking school rules, you wouldn’t hide a female student but rather brazenly protest asking what’s wrong with being together. Didn’t you say you weren’t afraid of the disciplinary committee at all?”

 

‘Just how much of a delinquent is this person I possessed?’

 

Cal realized he had possessed the body of a scoundrel and let out a hollow laugh.

 

“But remember this, Cleri Jesiyang! Right now, not only students from other hero academies are visiting Lumern, but even Rodia, the Dragon of the Cataclysm, is here! If you have any awareness as student council president, absolutely refrain from bringing female students to your room during this period!”

 

“Yes, I understand.”

 

“How obedient. Have you gained awareness as student council president? Or are you scheming something?”

 

“Scheming, you say.”

 

Cal showed his characteristic cheeky attitude and waved his hands dismissively.

 

The dormitory supervisor snorted and closed the door.

 

As the door closed, Cal leaned his back against the door and slumped down.

 

“I thought you’d get caught up in trouble.”

 

Just as he let out a sigh of relief, the wardrobe door opened and Eliza poked her head out.

 

“Hurry up and give me this woman’s clothes.”

 

“Got it.”

 

Cal pulled out the clothes he had shoved under the bed.

 

‘It’s definitely a situation to be flustered about, but she didn’t even bat an eye.’

 

Cal clicked his tongue as he recalled the situation from moments ago.

 

She had been lying in bed with a strange man while wearing nothing, yet instead of panicking, she immediately went for restraint.

 

‘Well, all the female students at our academy are terrifying anyway.’

 

It would be rare to find a Lumern student who would scream and act helpless in such a situation.

 

‘They’d probably try to smash their opponent first. Scary, our academy students are.’

 

Cal let out a hollow laugh.

 

“A school uniform? Must be Lumern Academy.”

 

Cal identified the location by looking at the female student uniform that was identical to their era, then turned his head away and handed the clothes to Eliza.

 

“There’s something perfect here.”

 

From behind the wardrobe door, Eliza threw something to Cal.

 

Cal let out a hollow laugh when he caught it.

 

“An eyepatch?”

 

“Wear that, and I’ll kill you if you take it off.”

 

“Yes~ Yes~”

 

Cal put on the eyepatch.

 

Swish- Thud- Swish- Swish-

 

The sound of clothes being put on could be heard.

 

Feeling awkward for no reason, Cal spoke playfully to change the atmosphere.

 

“Rope and an eyepatch. This is unnecessarily embarrassing.”

 

“What is?”

 

“You know. Eliza, do you happen to have rope marks on your body too?”

 

“How did you know?”

 

“…”

 

Cal closed his mouth at Eliza’s nonchalant answer.

 

“Hmph! Did you scan my entire body in that short time?”

 

“I didn’t! I turned my head away immediately!”

 

“Then how did you know there were rope marks?”

 

“…”

 

“How vulgar.”

 

Though Cal felt wronged, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut since he couldn’t answer.

 

“Anyway, I’m fully dressed now.”

 

At those words, Cal removed the eyepatch.

 

“This female student’s name is Meggin Shell. Fifth year, Summoning Department.”

 

Eliza clicked her tongue after checking the name tag and year/department insignia.

 

“And she seems to be the lover of Cleri Jesiyang, who you’ve possessed.”

 

“Right.”

 

Cal scratched his head vigorously.

 

“Then what exactly does this Cleri person do? I can tell he’s a reckless troublemaker.”

 

“Cleri Jesiyang. He’s from the Department of Magic and was Lumern’s first Student Council President. You should have learned about him in first-year classes.”

 

“You know a lot for someone who skips classes often.”

 

“Hmph. This is basic common knowledge. By the way, you’ve possessed a famous honor student who doesn’t suit you at all.”

 

“He seems incredibly far from being an honor student though.”

 

Cal scratched his cheek.

 

“Anyway, let’s organize the situation. But first.”

 

Eliza crossed her arms and lifted her chin.

 

Cal made a puzzled expression as he looked at Eliza’s arrogant face.

 

“About what happened earlier.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“If you so much as breathe a word about it anywhere, know that I’ll chase you to the ends of hell.”

 

With a slightly reddened face, Eliza growled fiercely.

 

Though it wasn’t their own bodies, it was certainly an embarrassing situation for both of them.

 

“I may have a loose tongue, but I’m not the type to blab about such things anywhere.”

 

Cal shrugged as if to say not to worry.

 

Eliza nodded at that.

 

Then she frowned and rubbed her wrists.

 

“By the way, I don’t know what they did with the rope to make it hurt like this.”

 

Cal grinned mischievously as he looked at Eliza, who wore a puzzled expression.

 

“Your usual behavior is like a delinquent thug, but you’re definitely a young lady from a prestigious family.”

 

“Are you saying you want to die?”

 

“I mean you’re pure! I mean you’re pure!”

 

When Eliza tried to tie the rope around her own neck, Cal screamed in terror.

 

***

 

“What the hell is going on?”

 

“Why did the Heroes’ World suddenly activate!”

 

“This wasn’t scheduled! It’s a Hero Dungeon!”

 

Commotion broke out at the Erek Training Ground.

 

The professors who had been preparing for the match hurriedly moved to assess the situation.

 

Waaaaaaah-!

 

The audience, unaware of the situation, cheered thinking the match had begun.

 

Leo, watching this scene, narrowed his eyes and brought his index and middle fingers together to his temple.

 

-Mellina.

 

-Yes, Leo.

 

-Cut the video magic broadcasting to the outside.

 

-Understood.

 

After contacting Mellina from afar, Leo looked toward the center of the Erek Training Ground.

 

When he deployed his super senses, he felt strangely cold below his neck.

 

It felt as if a blade was pressed against his throat.

 

He had felt this sensation countless times.

 

‘A Hero Dungeon occurred in the center of Lumern.’

 

It was an absurd story.

 

Lumern was the organization that conquered Hero Dungeons and recovered Hero Records.

 

If there had been a Hero Record in the middle of the Erek Training Ground, it would have been discovered long ago.

 

Leo, who had overcome countless death threats, quickly deduced the situation.

 

‘Is it Tartaros? Why would they do such a thing?’

 

Even if they activated a Hero Dungeon, it posed no significant threat to Lumern.

 

They could conquer it anytime if they wanted to.

 

Normally, additional entry into the Heroes’ World would be impossible.

 

However, Leo had confirmed through experiments that entry into an active Heroes’ World was possible.

 

A privilege held by the owner of a Hero Record.

 

‘Whose Hero Record is it? What are they aiming for?’

 

Just as Leo furrowed his brow.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Flames erupted in the center of the Erek Training Ground.

 

Leo’s eyes twitched at the sight.

 

‘Calamity Flame?’

 

Kwaaaaaaaaa-!

 

A black pillar of fire shot up.
