732.

Clang-!

Leo’s sword crossed with Risinass’s ice sword.

Whoosh-!

As soon as the swords crossed, Risinass’s knee buckled.

In close combat wielding weapons, Risinass could never defeat Leo.

A fight he couldn’t win even with his powerful dragon body from his previous life was impossible to win now with Chloe’s body.

Crack-!

Risinass gritted his teeth as he watched Leo apply force with an expressionless face.

“That body is really vigorous! It seems even better than your previous life’s body!”

“It’s a vessel I’ve been building since childhood.”

At Leo’s response, Risinass held his sword with one hand.

At the same time, he concentrated mana in the hand he removed from the handle.

Risinass, who was barely holding on, lost his balance.

But while deflecting Leo’s force that was overwhelming him, he threw a punch straight at Leo’s solar plexus.

Thud-!

However, Risinass’s attack was easily caught by Leo’s hand.

Of course, Risinass didn’t mind.

His purpose was to get close to Leo.

Crackle-

Leo’s body, which was in contact with Risinass, began to freeze.

‘This is stronger than I thought?’

The cold emanating from Chloe’s body continued to exceed Leo’s expectations.

Even though he had drawn his magic resistance to the maximum and layered frost resistance spells all over his body, Chloe’s cold completely ignored all of that and penetrated Leo’s body.

‘First, I need to separate Risinass from Chloe’s body.’

Having thought that far, Leo shook off Risinass.

Leo, who had created distance while moving his frozen body, caught his breath.

Then he concentrated his spiritual power and looked at Risinass, who was closing the distance.

Leo’s eyes momentarily turned gray, and gray spiritual power swirled and gathered at Leo’s fingertips.

Leo quickly rushed toward Risinass.

Seeing this, Risinass tried to hastily retreat.

But Leo extending his palm and swinging his arm was faster.

“Sorry, Chloe.”

Thwack-!

Leo’s palm struck Chloe’s chest as if pushing her away.

Chloe’s body floated in the air.

Along with that, Risinass in spirit form was knocked out.

“Ugh? Spirit magic?”

Looking at Risinass, who showed a slightly flustered expression, Leo said.

“No matter how much it’s you, you wouldn’t know spirit magic created in later generations.”

The technique from just now was a force that directly struck spirits.

His prediction that he could separate Risinass by shocking the spirit itself that was clinging to Chloe’s body seemed to be correct.

Just before Chloe’s powerless body hit the ground.

Leo caught Chloe.

Then he called to Chen Xia, who was watching the situation from afar.

“Chen Xia, come here and support Chloe.”

“Ah, yes.”

Chen Xia hurriedly approached and took Chloe from Leo.

Leo, facing Risinass, said.

“Let’s stop here now.”

Risinass, who had been staring at Leo, snorted and went down through the floor to the lower level.

“…It seems Lord Risinass is quite upset.”

“…”

When Chen Xia spoke carefully, Leo started walking.

“Where are you going, Lord Leo?”

When Chen Xia hurriedly followed, Leo said.

“Take Chloe back today and return to your room.”

“Are you going to fight again?”

Looking at Chen Xia, who asked carefully, Leo chuckled.

“Am I a child? I’m going to try having a conversation.”

Chen Xia recalled Risinass’s murderous appearance from just moments ago.

‘Will a conversation be possible?’

Leaving the pondering Chen Xia behind, Leo headed to the lower floor.

***

“Haa!”

Risinass, sitting in the common lounge, sighed and covered his face with his hands.

‘This isn’t right.’

He had fought out of frustration, but he didn’t actually want to do this.

However, things didn’t go as he thought.

‘It’s difficult.’

Even though he was called the King of Wisdom, this problem was always difficult.

It was when Risinass was making a bitter smile due to his complicated feelings that he couldn’t grasp.

“Argh! That tiny Chelsea! She’s incredibly fast!”

“You’re faster though.”

“She bounces around here and there like a cheat, so it’s hard to follow!”

Selia and Iliana appeared in the common lounge.

And they discovered Risinass sitting on the sofa.

“We missed the seal, but we can fill our points by hunting other students!”

When Iliana tried to rush forward in triumph, Selia extended her hand.

“Attacking recklessly without knowing who it is? What if they’re an upperclassman?”

“They don’t seem like an upperclassman though?”

Selia and Iliana approached right in front of Risinass.

Just then, clouds covered the moonlight and starlight.

Moreover, where Risinass was located was a shadowy area, making it even darker.

Thanks to that, his face wasn’t clearly visible.

“What year are you?”

When Selia asked with a puzzled face, Risinass smiled slightly and answered.

“I’m a first-year in the Summoning Department.”

It was a lie he told, thinking that Selia and Iliana wouldn’t have memorized the faces of first-years from other departments.

Especially in Iliana’s case, since she took magic classes, he said Summoning Department just in case.

“Great! It’s hunting time!”

“You want to catch a first-year?”

“First-years and fifth-years give the same points. Then it’s more efficient to catch a first-year, right? A lion gives its all even when catching a rabbit!”

Selia clicked her tongue at Iliana, who was about to pounce saying “that’s right,” and spoke to Risinass.

“Seeing a first-year out alone during curfew, it seems you have some troubles. We’re from different departments, but shall I give you some counseling?”

“Hey. Even if he’s a first-year, he’s still an enemy. And it’s obviously going to be boring counseling about grades with midterms coming up, so why bother with counseling?”

When Iliana stuck out her tongue and grumbled as if she disliked it, Risinass smiled slightly.

“…It’s about someone I like. Do you counsel about things like this too?”

“Heh. That’s this sister’s specialty. Speak openly and honestly.”

Iliana quickly sat on the sofa across from Risinass.

Selia sat down across from them with an incredulous expression.

“Having romantic troubles when midterm exams are approaching? How carefree of you.”

“Hey! Selia! How can you say that! This is a very, very important matter!”

Iliana scolded Selia and said.

“Now, what’s the problem?”

Looking at Iliana’s eyes that sparkled even in the darkness, Risinass suppressed his laughter and said.

“I just have someone I like, but we fought a lot.”

“Mm-hmm! Why did you fight? Is that person not treating you well?”

“…Sometimes they treat me well, sometimes not, but I’m not angry about that. It’s just…”

“Just?”

“They seem to be popular with the opposite sex.”

“Ugh! Playboys are useless.”

Iliana clicked her tongue disapprovingly.

“They’re not a playboy. It’s just that my close friend also likes that person.”

“Ooooh! A love triangle! A love triangle! I absolutely love this kind of thing!”

Iliana, completely excited, grabbed Selia and shook her vigorously.

Selia smacked Iliana on the head.

“Don’t react like that in front of the person involved! If you’re going to give advice, do it seriously!”

“Ow!”

Selia sighed as she watched Iliana rubbing her head in pain and asked.

“Did you fight with your friend because of that?”

“No. That friend doesn’t know I like that person.”

“Hmm. That’s troublesome.”

“In that situation, my friend made a declaration in front of everyone. That they like that person…”

“Wow! Wow! So bold! Just like Luna!”

Iliana jumped up and down excitedly.

Watching her, Risinass smiled bitterly.

‘She’s talking about Luna.’

“But this is serious. Won’t that guy get stolen away?”

“…Actually, I’m legally married to that man on paper.”

“What?”

“And they still declared their feelings even so?”

Looking at the two shocked people, Risinass said.

“My friend doesn’t know. That guy doesn’t know either. It was a secret marriage.”

“Certainly, if they didn’t know who you liked, they wouldn’t know about the marriage either. But still… don’t tell me you used your family’s power to do it secretly?”

“…Well, something like that.”

“…”

Selia’s mouth fell open.

Iliana was completely excited.

“You must really love that man!”

“Yes. Because he’s more precious to me than my own life. But now I’m starting to regret deceiving him into marriage.”

“Why?”

“I feel sorry for my friend. And I worry it might become a burden for that guy. He doesn’t know anything about it anyway.”

At the time, he just wanted to leave evidence.

Evidence that he loved Kail.

And he needed sweet dreams while imagining when the world would become peaceful.

‘A future living together with Kail… was my dream in a way.’

He wanted to save the world he loved.

That was Risinass’s fundamental wish.

But he had no wishes for himself.

That’s why he deceived Kail into the marriage contract.

It was his pure desire.

The crystallization of his somewhat ugly desire… to possess Kail.

Perhaps that desire kept Risinass alive until the very end.

“By any chance, does that man… not know that you or your friend likes him?”

At Iliana’s question, Risinass asked as if surprised.

“How did you know?”

“Heh, this great detective Iliana can tell right away! I got a strong feeling, you could say?”

Iliana said with a smug expression.

“That friend who likes the same person is also precious to you, right?”

“Yes. That friend is also more precious to me than my own life.”

It wasn’t just Kail and Luna.

Arron and Dweno were also friends more precious than life.

‘Everyone probably felt the same way.’

“Then! Cancel that marriage right away! And you should boldly declare it too! That you like that man!”

Iliana clenched her fist tightly.

“If you think you’ll have regrets either way! Win love fair and square!”

“…”

“Show your true self!”

The reason Luna never told Kail she liked him until the end was because of pride and stubbornness.

But Luna never once hid her feelings.

She kept showing her feelings for Kail.

Until Kail would say he liked her first.

‘It’s just that the guy was an idiot and couldn’t notice.’

How was he compared to Luna?

He hid his feelings, saying he would show a perfect image as the King of Wisdom.

While subtly revealing his feelings.

Hoping Kail would notice.

And getting angry at Kail for not noticing.

‘…Maybe I was the idiot.’

Risinass let out a self-deprecating laugh.

‘Right. I don’t need to be the King of Wisdom anymore.’

He was just a spirit full of regrets who died long ago.

‘I’m learning a lot from these children.’

Risinass looked at Selia and Iliana.

How much had he dreamed of a peaceful world where they could talk about such things with bright faces?

Risinass smiled gently.

“Thank you for the advice. I feel relieved thanks to you.”

“One problem solved with this!”

Just as Iliana was making a triumphant expression.

“See~ That was good! I was right, wasn’t I? Right? One problem solved with this!”

“Hmph!”

The door opened and Cal and Eliza appeared.

Seeing this, Selia and Iliana jumped up from their seats.

Cal and Eliza also flinched and took combat stances.

“An alliance between the Magic Studies Department and Summoning Department? I guess it would be hard to beat our Knight Department alone?”

When Selia smiled and provoked them, Eliza smiled coldly.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Selia Jerdinger.”

Cal and Eliza weren’t the only ones who appeared at the right timing.

“We barely shook them off.”

“The seniors weren’t easy to deal with.”

Chelsea and Avad appeared on the railing above the stairs connected to the lounge.

Then they spotted the four people facing off against each other.

“Ah! Cal! Why are you standing so close to Eliza!”

When Chelsea pointed accusingly, Avad grinned.

“Betrayal?”

“Haha.”

Cal laughed awkwardly.

Eliza snorted and smirked.

“We just formed a temporary alliance out of mutual necessity.”

As the six people emanated sharp hostility toward each other.

“Hehehe! Hehehe!”

Risinass burst into laughter.

“Everyone’s so energetic. That guy won’t be bored either.”

Seeing this, Eliza tilted her head curiously.

“Who?”

When all the others also tilted their heads in confusion.

‘Huh? This voice is…?’

Chelsea, who had conversed with Risinass before, froze in place.

“Risi… nass-nim?”

“Huh?”

“What?”

“Eh? What nonsense are you talking about?”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Chelsea all at once.

“No, no. This is definitely Risinass-nim’s voice…”

At that moment, the clouds that had covered the sky cleared, and moonlight entered to illuminate the interior of the building.

Along with it, Risinass’s face was also faintly revealed.

Everyone’s faces hardened.

“It must be fake, right?”

When Selia muttered unconsciously, Risinass smiled and stood up.

Risinass floated his body and approached Selia and Iliana to pat their heads.

“Thanks for the consultation.”

Risinass winked with one eye and flew up, disappearing beyond the ceiling.

Along with that, Chelsea rushed to Iliana.

“What kind of consultation did you have? What consultation!”

At Chelsea’s urgent question, Iliana’s mouth opened and closed.

“Lo, love consultation?”

“What?”

“Risinass-nim said… he likes the same person as Luna-nim…”

At those words, everyone froze.

The person Luna likes.

That is…

“Risinass-nim also likes Kail-nim?”

Everyone let out exclamations of shock.

***

Leo, who was walking down the corridor, opened his eyes wide upon seeing Risinass appear before him.

Risinass, who had been looking at Leo with some dissatisfaction, snorted.

Leo smiled and extended his hand.

Risinass looked at Leo’s hand with a sulky expression.

It was the opposite of 5000 years ago.

Back then, it was Risinass who had extended his hand first, and it was Kail who had received it with a very sulky face.

“Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”

Looking at Risinass who was asking somewhat sulkily, Leo said.

“I missed you.”

“…”

Leo’s honest words.

A bright smile spread across Risinass’s face upon hearing those words.

Then he reached out and grasped Leo’s hand.

Flash—!

Along with that, a brilliant light burst forth.

Risinass’s spirit form takes on physical shape.

Eventually, Risinass, who had returned to his appearance from when he was alive, slowly descended to the ground with his eyes closed.

Thud—

Risinass, who had landed, opened his eyes.

Leo spoke with a slightly displeased expression toward Risinass, who was touching his face after regaining his physical body.

“By the way, you. There’s one thing you deceived me about, isn’t there?”

“What?”

“Don’t play dumb. You tricked me into writing a marriage contract.”

“Ah, that? You knew about it?”

Risinass chuckled.

Looking at Risinass like that, Leo frowned.

“You knew about it? Is that what you should be saying right now…”

“Let’s get divorced.”

“What?”

Looking at Leo, who had a dumbfounded expression for a moment, Risinass said.

“I said let’s get divorced.”

“…”

At such a brazen statement, Leo could only be at a loss for words.

***

“It’s done!”

“…Do you think he’ll be satisfied with this?”

“Yes! He’ll definitely be satisfied.”

Mel and En looked at the party welcoming Risinass and celebrating his marriage with proud faces.

Though it was small in scale, it couldn’t be more grand than this.

“Now let’s go get Risinass-nim and Leo-nim!”

“Yes!”

The two dragons went to find the Hero of the Beginning and the King of Wisdom with happy faces.

Not knowing what kind of conversation was taking place between the two.
