723.

The Tower of Heroes standing tall in central Lumern.

In this place that could be called the heart of Hero Academy and Lumern, the Lumern Student Council Room exists.

And in the spot with the best view in the student council room is where the Student Council President’s office is located.

Leo, sitting in the student council president’s chair, was looking at documents.

Knock knock- Click-

At that moment, along with a knocking sound, the door opened and a girl entered.

A dragon girl with brilliant golden hair and eyes.

It was Enkiniass, the successor to Mellina and the next Dragon Lord.

Carrying a tray, she came to Leo’s side and placed a steaming mug on the desk.

Thud-

“Thanks.”

Leo expressed his gratitude and took a sip of the coffee in the mug.

“As expected, coffee enjoyed leisurely while skipping class is the best.”

When Leo muttered playfully, Enkiniass burst into laughter.

Currently, Leo was the only student in the student council room.

Even if the student council is important, a student’s main duty is still studying.

The student council members also go to attend morning classes unless there’s something special.

So Leo was the only student who could come to the student council room at this time.

“A student’s main duty is studying, though.”

“I’m not exactly a proper student, am I?”

“Why not? You’re an excellent honor student.”

“An honor student, huh. Well, I’m living my second life inside.”

“You’re not slacking off to begin with anyway.”

Leo chuckled at Enkiniass’s words.

“It’s delicious.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s a taste Risinass would like.”

“Really?”

Enkiniass made a pleased expression.

‘Well, it was hard to drink anything proper back then.’

Compared to those times, everything tastes good now.

Of course, even when the food situation wasn’t great, Risinass had the mysterious ability to turn mediocre things into the worst.

‘He surprisingly liked eating though. He’d be delighted if he came to this era.’

Leo, who had been lost in thought, felt a gaze and tilted his head.

“What?”

“I was thinking that if the student council knew how diligently Lord Leo works like this, they might feel less wronged.”

Leo was notorious in the student council for creating work.

And he would slip away while watching the student council suffer.

But in reality, Leo was working very diligently.

‘Well, it’s not Lumern’s work though.’

The documents Leo was currently looking at were reports to be submitted to Mellina, the Dragon Lord.

Reports submitted by dragons from various regions who observed the world’s political situation.

And even secret information sent by the Shadows.

Now that Tartaros was moving secretly.

Dragonnia and the Shadows were moving behind the scenes to detect suspicious movements happening around the world.

“It’s work I’m not used to, so it’s tiring.”

“But you handle work incredibly fast and perfectly, don’t you?”

“I did similar work to the point of being sick of it in my previous life.”

During the Age of Calamity, Tartaros wasn’t the only enemy Leo fought against.

He had to track the movements of traitors who moved secretly and could stab him in the back at any moment.

Leo was using that experience to understand the world’s political situation.

“Well, even then I didn’t do it entirely with my own power.”

“Then?”

“There was someone who worked with me.”

“Who was that?”

“Who else? The King of Wisdom.”

“Ah…”

“It’s tough. Trying to do work that we used to do together all by myself.”

Creak-

Leo turned his chair to look out the window and sipped his coffee.

Watching such Leo, Enkiniass carefully asked.

“What kind of work did Lord Risinass do when there were no battles?”

“He did work befitting the title of king. He took charge of running Gardstron.”

“Ah.”

“It must have been difficult. Among us, only Dweno could help Risinass with administrative work.”

Gardstron, now buried underground, was massive in scale, befitting its reputation as the world’s last fortress.

A city as huge as Gardstron would be hard to find even now, 5000 years later.

Or even before the Age of Calamity, called the Age of Gods.

“Did the two of them handle domestic affairs?”

“No way. Even if Risinass was a monster, that would be impossible. Even in those days, there were administrators in charge of the city’s public affairs.”

Dragons, of course, and talented people who had survived until that era.

If the heroes led by the great heroes fought against the world’s destruction.

The administrators of that time worked to maintain the world’s order that could collapse at any moment.

“Then it wasn’t just Lord Dweno who could help with domestic affairs, was it?”

“In terms of work, that would be true. But all decisions were Risinass’s responsibility.”

“Ah…”

Enkiniass understood those words immediately.

It meant that the world’s fate was determined by Risinass’s choices.

In that situation, Dweno was the only one he could seek advice from and worry together with.

‘If even one thing had gone wrong then, the current world wouldn’t exist.’

In combat as well as domestic affairs, Risinass was Gardstron’s leader.

The decision-maker who could determine the world’s fate.

He carried the world’s destiny on his shoulders and walked a precarious tightrope.

Yet he never showed any wavering to people, giving them hope.

It wasn’t for nothing that the gods called Risinass the King of the World.

“It’s surprising that only Lord Dweno could help Lord Risinass with domestic affairs. What about Lord Leo and Lord Arron…”

“Arron and I were only good at fighting.”

“What about Lady Luna? It seems like Lady Luna would have been of great help.”

“Didn’t you see when that guy came as a spirit? Luna’s nickname is the Destruction King.”

Himself or Arron would be better instead.

Among the five great heroes, Luna was the most distant from domestic affairs.

“I’m realizing anew how amazing Lord Risinass was.”

“Amazing? This world was practically saved by that guy alone.”

“Huh? But it was Lord Kail who saved the world as the last person standing.”

It might have been different before when records were lost.

But now that the Hero of the Beginning’s deeds have been revealed by Leo.

It’s established fact that the Hero of the Beginning saved the world.

But when Leo himself, the person in question, said that Risinass alone saved the world, Enkiniass couldn’t help but be a little confused.

“Because it was Risinass who extended his hand to me.”

“Ah….”

“Until I took that hand. Risinass was the only one who truly believed we could save the world and made plans with that conviction.”

Leo looked at Enkiniass.

“His insight, his wisdom led us.”

He was the greatest leader one could trust without doubt.

“You dragons who inherited his will have become the ‘ones who guide heroes’ in this era, haven’t you?”

“….”

“Right now, I’m leading everyone. But even this is nothing more than imitating that guy.”

Leo fixed his gaze back on the documents.

“I can’t do everything alone forever. If you’re going to claim to be the next Dragon Lord… Risinass’s successor. Know well what Risinass did. Know what you must do.”

“If I truly succeed Lord Risinass… would I have to lead you too, Lord Leo?”

“Oh? You’ve got some nerve? You’ll lead me?”

“N-no. That’s not what I meant. How could I dare….”

Seeing Leo raise his head again, Enkiniass frantically waved her hands in denial.

“Unfortunately, I don’t accept guidance from anyone.”

Leo chuckled.

“I’ve already decided the path I must take.”

If there were someone who could show him a new path, it would be only one person.

In the past, present, and future.

That fact would never change.

“Come to think of it, you said you’d summon Lord Risinass’s spirit, right? If you happen to meet Lord Risinass, is there something you’d like to say?”

“There is.”

“What is it?”

Enkiniass asked with sparkling eyes.

‘You two were married.’

A bond formed according to traditional dragon ceremonies.

Love between great heroes.

And after 5000 years, they were about to have a miraculous reunion.

How romantic was this?

“I’m going to confront that con artist lizard and then ask for a divorce.”

‘I shouldn’t have asked.’

Enkiniass regretted her hasty question inwardly.

Leo, who had coffee in his mouth, checked his watch.

“Is it about time for the mock battle?”

“If you’re curious, why don’t you go take a look?”

“I already know those guys’ abilities, so there’s no need.”

“Still, they’re at an age where they grow every day.”

These were students that Leo himself had chosen as companions to entrust his back to in the future.

As Enkiniass said, they grew in the blink of an eye.

Though Leo didn’t show it, he was sometimes genuinely surprised by his classmates’ growth rate.

It wasn’t a master-disciple relationship like Berkia and Bihar.

But.

As a senior who had walked this path first, Leo felt secretly proud when watching his juniors follow in his footsteps.

That’s why at some point, he found himself looking forward to it without realizing.

‘I wonder if Risinass felt like this.’

Thinking of Risinass, Leo put down his coffee.

“I can’t keep hovering around them forever.”

Just his presence alone changed his classmates’ atmosphere.

That wasn’t necessarily bad.

But….

“They need to learn how to advance on their own without stimulation.”

“That’s true.”

Enkiniass nodded as if in agreement.

Leo stared intently at Enkiniass.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“In my eyes, you’re just the same as those kids.”

At those words, Enkiniass blushed and hung her head low.

Thinking about it, she wasn’t in a position to agree with Leo’s words.

Watching the embarrassed Enkiniass, Leo laughed as if amused and turned the page.

Then he fixed his gaze on the next report.

“Heavy snowfall due to abnormal temperatures? Is this the Deviyang Kingdom?”

“Yes. A civil war broke out recently… but the internal atmosphere has been unsettling for a long time.”

“Hmm.”

Leo stroked his chin.

‘Heavy snowfall….’

***

On opposite sides of the vast training ground, the top students from the Knight Department and Magic Studies Department faced each other.

A mock battle.

Literally a practice fight, but the pride of each department was at stake.

As representatives from each department finished their preparations in front of the large training ground.

Rumble rumble rumble—!

The training ground moved.

The training ground, where plants began growing at tremendous speed, soon became a small, lush forest.

This was the randomly generated battlefield environment for mock battles.

“The stage is Forest.”

Above the training ground, a screen created by magic appeared, broadcasting the internal situation.

The representatives entered the forest.

‘Perfect.’

Risinass muttered inwardly.

Risinass easily interpreted the magical formulas cast on the training ground and exerted his influence.

A fake screen created by Risinass would be broadcast outside.

So secretly and instantly that even Ren, who had devoted his entire life to magic, couldn’t notice.

The Magic Studies Department students established a defensive formation.

If the enemy was the Knight Department, charging out recklessly would be dangerous.

Risinass observed the Magic Studies Department students’ movements.

‘Excellent.’

They were indeed well-educated.

Risinass was looking at the Magic Studies Department students with a proud expression when he suddenly raised his head.

After briefly looking at the thicket, Risinass summoned Chloe’s staff.

When the Magic Studies Department students showed confused expressions at Risinass suddenly springing into action.

Thud—!

Risinass struck the staff against the ground.

Crack crack crack crack crack—!

Ice magic swept across the surrounding area.

Whoosh—!

The forest instantly dropped to sub-zero temperatures.

Someone who had avoided Risinass’s freezing magic landed on the ground.

“What a surprise. When did you become able to cast spells so quickly? More importantly, how did you know?”

Chen Xia’s eyes widened as she showed a genuinely surprised expression.

“….”

Risinass stared intently at Chen Xia.

Her appearance was different.

Her atmosphere was different too.

But… Risinass could easily see someone else’s image in Chen Xia.

‘Could this child possibly be a descendant of Bihar?’
