730.
The Clock Tower Dormitory was a crystallization of spatial magic containing the essence of magical engineering that Tina had conceived.
And the center of the magic was the Student Council Room on the top floor of the clock tower.
The reason Leo could go anywhere in the Clock Tower Dormitory from his room at will was because the Student Council Room was where all doors connected.
‘And all doors leading into the Student Council Room are basically locked.’
That’s why they functioned as ordinary doors.
Without the key to the Student Council Room, even going out was random.
Even Tina, who designed the magical formula, couldn’t control it without the key.
Because she had made the formula itself random.
In the current situation, there was only one person who could do such a thing.
‘Mel.’
But there was no way Mel, a Dragon Lord, would do such a thing.
‘No matter how much I used spirit summoning, I couldn’t summon Risinass.’
He thought his training was still insufficient.
But what if he was already summoned?
‘I need solid evidence.’
Having thought that far, Leo got up from his seat.
“You guys, clean this up properly.”
“Yes! Leave it to us! Big brother.”
“No, it would be convenient to clean with magic. Why do we have to sweep and wipe by hand…”
Lil even saluted and answered energetically, but Elena was still dissatisfied.
“Then it wouldn’t be punishment.”
“Did we do it on purpose?”
“So you’re complaining?”
“…”
When Leo slightly tilted his head, Elena pouted her lips.
“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen Senior Elena completely helpless. You’re truly amazing! Big brother!”
Lil clapped her hands in admiration.
Elena stepped hard on Lil’s foot.
“That hurts, Senior Elena.”
At Lil’s words, Elena clicked her tongue and swept the ruined floor with a broom.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
[Hey! Can’t you do it properly! Learn from your junior!]
Above Elena’s head, Fiora and Kirran fluttered and spun around in circles.
Elena, who had been watching them with crooked eyes, swatted at the two familiars with her broom like swatting flies.
Then she swept the two familiars that had fallen to the floor into the dustpan.
“Ah! Do the same to me! Treat me like trash too!”
Ati, who had been watching, slid in front of Elena as if gliding.
But Elena thoroughly ignored Ati.
“Gasp! Could this be neglect play?!”
Ati writhed in agony.
Leo left his room, which was still noisy despite being in ruins, and walked down the corridor with steady steps.
“Lord Leo, what’s going on here?”
Then Mel appeared and asked with a surprised expression.
“Mel. Haven’t there been any strange incidents at the Academy recently?”
“Strange incidents? There haven’t been any. Could it be an enemy attack?”
“It’s not that. I was wondering if there was anything even slightly incomprehensible or different from usual.”
At Leo’s question, Mel relaxed her expression, thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“I can’t think of anything in particular. En, do you know anything?”
En, who appeared together with Mel, shook her head.
“Except for the Knight Academy and Department of Magic students complaining of inexplicable motion sickness during the third-year mock battle, there wasn’t anything in particular.”
At those words, Leo stopped walking and asked again.
“Was it called mana depletion aftereffects?”
“Yes, but from what we confirmed, there wasn’t significant mana depletion. The conclusion was that they just overexerted themselves mentally.”
Among the third-years who were Leo’s classmates, there were especially many whom Leo had designated as future heroes.
As such, whenever they got injured, Mel paid special attention.
She even had En check again for even minor things to see if symptoms had worsened or if there were any major aftereffects.
‘Motion sickness.’
Leo narrowed his eyes while thinking of his classmates.
“Chen Xia and Chloe weren’t in the infirmary, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“It must be related to one of those two.”
“What do you mean?”
Looking at Mel who didn’t understand, Leo said.
“It seems like the King of Wisdom, whom you dragons respect so much, is hiding in this dormitory.”
“What?”
“Is, is that really true?”
Mel’s eyes widened and En showed a flustered expression.
Could there be more thrilling words than this for dragons?
The King of Wisdom! Risinass was somewhere here!
“I need to check first.”
Having said that, Leo climbed onto the corridor railing.
Leo’s room was located at the top of the clock tower.
The center of the circular staircase leading up was completely open.
Leo jumped down toward that space without hesitation.
Whoosh-!
“Oh my! What to do! What to do!”
Mel covered both cheeks and stamped her feet, not knowing what to do.
“Lord, this is not the time for this.”
“Right, you’re right!”
“We should quickly help Lord Leo find Lord Risinass…”
“We need to quickly prepare a grand welcome! En, come here.”
“I will help Lord Leo find Lord Risinass.”
At those words, Mel stared at En intently, then smiled brightly.
“No, you can’t.”
“What? But I should assist Lord Leo…”
“It’s Lord Risinass we’re talking about. Would our help actually be useful in finding him?”
“…”
“Don’t you think I know you want to meet him sooner?”
Mel, who saw through En’s true feelings with a bright smile, began preparing a welcome with En.
“How should we prepare the welcome party?”
En showed a puzzled expression watching Mel hum happily.
“But why is Lord Risinass hiding? I thought he would want to meet Lord Leo right away…”
“Hmm… Maybe he’s a little shy?”
“Do you think so?”
“Yes. I think so.”
Not knowing that Risinass was filled with thoughts of somehow getting back at Leo, Mel began to think of everything positively.
***
The first thing Leo did when he came down to the dormitory was to find Chelsea and the others who had barged into his room earlier.
‘If the motion sickness symptoms are aftereffects of receiving memory prohibition from Risinass, there should be traces left.’
If he hadn’t been paying attention, it might have been different.
But if Leo was determined to find him, tracking the magical traces Risinass left behind was child’s play.
Finding the group that had run off with the seal wasn’t difficult.
He didn’t even need to sharpen his super senses since he could hear the sounds of fighting from far away.
Leo took a step forward.
Whoosh-!
At the same time, Leo rushed through the corridor at tremendous speed and soon encountered Avad.
“Leo?”
“Stop right there, you butter!”
Behind Avad, who wore a puzzled expression, came Selia’s sharp voice.
Flare-
As Selia’s flame aura blazed up, Leo reached out his hand.
Thud-!
“Ugh? What the… Leo?”
Selia, who had been flustered by her blocked attack, widened her eyes upon seeing Leo holding her sword.
“Selia, just a moment.”
Leo touched Selia’s forehead with his finger.
Though Selia flinched momentarily as Leo’s mana swept through her body, she soon accepted Leo’s mana.
A moment later.
Leo, who had withdrawn his hand, smiled slightly.
“That’s done now.”
“What did you do?”
“I was just checking something briefly.”
Selia rubbed her forehead with a puzzled expression.
Avad showed Leo the seal he was holding and said.
“Leo, what are we going to do with this?”
“Ah, that?”
Leo looked at the other students who had caught up and said.
“Continue what you were doing.”
As soon as those words ended, Avad threw the seal into the air.
Then Chelsea, who had been waiting, stylishly snatched the seal.
It was a wonderful play by siblings who had coordinated for many years.
“Catch her!”
“Hey! Don’t make so much noise! The professors are coming!”
The students rushed after Chelsea in a crowd.
Leo, left alone, placed his hand on his waist.
“Well then. Shall I go find that damn lizard?”
As his super senses activated, Leo’s perception began spreading like a spider web throughout the entire Clock Tower Dormitory.
Countless pieces of information flowed into Leo’s mind.
The sound of students quietly chatting.
The feeling of someone moving secretly.
Professors making their rounds.
And… the presence of someone moving stealthily.
“We’ve been discovered!”
Chen Xia’s flustered voice reached his ears, made sensitive by his super senses.
Leo exclaimed “Oh?”
Chen Xia had also learned super senses.
Though clumsy at first, she seemed well-trained now.
‘If Eiran specialized in hearing… is Chen Xia’s sixth sense developed?’
In the case of Arron, who created super senses, and Leo, who first learned it, all senses had developed.
But for later generations, the areas that developed to the extreme were different.
Eiran had enhanced hearing.
And Chen Xia seemed to have strengthened sixth sense.
The fact that she detected Leo’s presence invading her super sense domain was proof of that.
‘She’s improved a lot.’
Normally, this would be something to praise highly.
‘From what she’s saying, it seems she knows about Risinass’s existence.’
Feeling a slight sense of betrayal, Leo stepped forward.
Whoosh-!
Leo, who reached Chen Xia’s location at tremendous speed, blocked the path of the flustered Chen Xia and crossed his arms.
“Where did he go?”
“What do you mean?”
“Are you going to play dumb?”
“Ehehehehe.”
“Don’t act cute, you’re not cute.”
At Leo’s words, Chen Xia slightly pouted her lips.
“I trusted you.”
“But how could I refuse Risinass-nim’s request?”
“Is that so? So where is that guy hiding?”
“Where Risinass-nim is hiding, you ask.”
Step- Step-
“Hm? Leo? Sia? What are you doing there?”
Just then, Chloe’s voice came from the other end of the corridor.
Leo said to Chloe, who wore a puzzled expression.
“I was asking Chen Xia about something.”
“Hm? What were you asking about?”
“It’s personal.”
Leo answered as if it was nothing special.
Chloe, no, Risinass approached such Leo.
Since he didn’t know that Risinass had possessed Chloe’s body, Leo treated Chloe as usual.
‘Anyway, he’s quick to notice things like this.’
He thought this game of hide-and-seek was now over.
‘Well, from the looks of it, his room seems to have burned down while he was sleeping. I think I’ve teased him enough.’
While thinking to himself, Leo, who had been interrogating, grabbed Chen Xia’s cheek and pulled it.
‘…He looks happy.’
Risinass’s eyes slightly darkened.
After possessing Chloe’s body, he had heard various stories from the students.
What he heard most and asked about were naturally stories about the Great Heroes.
And among those, what became the biggest topic were stories related to the Hero of the Beginning and the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.
The story of how the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, who had revealed herself to this land, declared that the one she loved was Kail and then departed.
As a result, the fact that Kail and Luna were lovers had become an established fact for later generations.
One scene floated up from the fragmentary memories that remained.
‘How was it? Much better than Risinass, right?’
‘…You’re good.’
The conversation Luna and Kail had after she kissed him.
‘You’re terribly bad at it.’
In contrast, the way she wiped her mouth and spoke curtly after kissing him.
Risinass’s hand trembled slightly.
‘You look a bit old, don’t you?’
Various annoying words came to mind one by one.
If he smiled now and said he just wanted to surprise her, Leo would laugh off everything that had happened so far.
But he could feel his insides twisting from words that, if he were still alive, he would have brushed off with a single blow.
“Leo. I suddenly became curious about something.”
“What?”
“Between Risinass and Luna, who do you like more?”
Leo glanced at Risinass.
Chen Xia’s eyes widened as she looked at Risinass, then began to panic.
Risinass was smiling slyly.
‘You’d better answer well, I think?’
“I don’t really like either of them much.”
Leo, thinking it was Chloe, answered playfully as usual.
“Oh. I see.”
Risinass’s smile grew even deeper.
‘Aaaaah.’
Chen Xia screamed internally and said.
“Lord Leo. You usually say you like them both, don’t you?”
“When did I ever.”
Watching Leo brilliantly complicate the situation, Chen Xia said urgently.
“Still, there must be someone you like more. Don’t you like Risinass more?”
“Right now I like Luna more. Why are you asking that?”
Chen Xia looked up at the ceiling in despair.
Watching her, Leo muttered to himself.
‘Looks like someone’s listening from somewhere.’
Just as Leo made a slightly crooked expression and looked around.
“Hey.”
“Hm?”
Whoosh-!
Leo finally realized when he saw Chloe’s small, delicate fist blocking his vision.
‘Chloe was Risinass?’
Bang-! Crackle-!
As Risinass’s fist struck Leo’s face, everything around them froze solid.
Leo, who was sent flying into the darkness, rolled down the stairs at the end of the corridor.
Growling, Risinass charged straight toward where Leo had flown.
“What the hell are you doing! You damn fraud lizard!”
“Shut up!”
The murderous voices of the Great Heroes began echoing from beyond the darkness.
Bang-! Crash-!
Then violent battle sounds began reverberating.
Every time something could be heard breaking, Chen Xia unconsciously squeezed her eyes shut.
“If you like Luna, why didn’t you marry Luna!”
“Say something that makes sense! I didn’t even know she liked me!”
“That’s something to be proud of! You idiot!”
The conversation sounds echoing from the darkness gradually grew more distant.
Eventually, when the violent sounds announcing the battle between Great Heroes could be faintly heard from far away.
Chen Xia cautiously opened her eyes.
And muttered blankly.
“Is this… a marital fight…?”
***
Meanwhile, Mel and En were busily preparing a welcome party for Risinass in an empty room.
Just then.
En carefully spoke to Mel, who was pondering over welcome messages.
“Lord.”
“Yes.”
“The two of them only made a marriage contract… Since they haven’t held a proper ceremony, how about we descendants create an occasion to celebrate their marriage?”
At those words, Mel’s eyes widened as she clapped her hands and smiled brightly.
“That’s such a wonderful idea, En!”
