745.

Leo’s group, leaving Princess Trenikonni behind, immediately headed to the battlefield using the warp gate.

The princess and her retainers, overwhelmed by Elena alone, couldn’t say a word until the Lumern students departed.

From the beginning, Lumern’s intervention wasn’t to help Princess Trenikonni, but to keep Seirun in check.

As such, there was no reason to make a good impression on Princess Trenikonni.

Leo’s group, arriving at the warp gate on the battlefield, immediately headed to the city that was the battleground.

The name of the city where elves were confirmed to have appeared on the battlefield was Diviana.

They had heard before leaving Lumern that Trenikonni’s soldiers had suffered a crushing defeat there and were hastily retreating.

Upon arriving at their destination, a noble who appeared to be the city’s commander was waiting.

Elena spoke without even glancing at the commander.

“I plan to head straight to the battlefield as soon as preparations are complete. Lil, get detailed battle reports from the commander. Runba, you prepare the kids.”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

Lil, from a military family, spoke with the commander to assess the battle situation.

Runba took charge of the 2nd and 3rd year students, preparing them for battle.

In front of the warp gate were Leo and Elena.

The two of them remained.

When Leo left the warp gate building, Elena followed closely behind him.

Diviana was a major city located in the very center of Debiang, evaluated as the second city after the capital Deang.

The city’s location was in the north-central part of Debiang.

Whether by scale or geographical position, it was a necessary strategic point in the current civil war situation.

Outside the warp gate of such a major city was extremely splendid.

The first thing that caught the eye was an ornate fountain.

Normally water would have been spouting out, but currently it wasn’t operating due to the urgent situation of the city being on the verge of capture.

However, contrary to such splendor, no people could be seen in the city.

Forces had clearly been deployed to the walls in an attempt to defend them at all costs.

Leo casually sat down on a nearby bench.

Then Elena sat next to Leo like a puppy.

When Leo tilted his head back to look at the blue sky.

Elena poked Leo’s shoulder with her finger – tap tap.

When he turned his head, Elena’s eyes were sparkling.

“Hey, you know. Don’t you have something to say to me? Hm? Hm?”

She blatantly pointed to her own head with her finger and scooted closer to Leo, pressing right up against him.

Leo stroked Elena’s head as if pushing it away and said.

“Yeah, you did well. But don’t you think your character has changed a bit?”

“Leo always treats me like a child anyway, right? In that case, shouldn’t I make use of the advantages of being younger?”

When Elena grinned, Leo clicked his tongue.

“You’re like a vixen, it’s burdensome.”

Even at those words, Elena didn’t bat an eye and enjoyed Leo’s stroking.

If others had seen this, their jaws would have dropped.

Everyone knew that Elena was fond of Leo.

Even so, it was unimaginable to see that formidable Elena acting so coquettishly toward someone.

Elena only showed this side of herself in front of Leo.

An innocent, childlike appearance.

Though she had somewhat shameless and cunning aspects, and would try to climb all over him given the chance.

It was similar to the pretty princess commonly seen in fairy tales.

Elena had admired princesses rather than heroes while reading many heroic tales in her childhood.

And to Elena, Leo was like the heroes she had seen in fairy tales.

‘A hero who can save me in times of crisis.’

Though she would rarely find herself in crisis, Elena showed Leo the person she had always wanted to be.

And that was also the side of herself Elena had kept hidden.

“But was it necessary to go that far?”

Elena had completely crushed Princess Trenikonni’s faction.

At Leo’s question, Elena snorted.

“Those born to be worshipped from birth originally have a narrow view of the world.”

Elena narrowed her eyes.

“They think they’re noble when they’re not, and think they’re great when they’re not. They arrogantly take it for granted like breathing.”

Having said that much, Elena flashed a sly smile.

“Those who have such delusions don’t know their place and carelessly try to match up against truly great people, you know?”

“Can’t you just let them delude themselves as they please?”

“No. I can’t.”

Elena said firmly.

“The Age of Calamity and the current era are different. It’s an era where those who don’t know their place can exert sufficient influence. I absolutely cannot tolerate such worthless things looking down on my perfect hero.”

Seeing Elena’s serious expression, Leo scratched his cheek.

“From the start, there’s no one among the Lumern students who would tolerate that. Leo, you’re not alone. You’re our leader.”

Elena poked Leo’s chest with her finger.

“Though sometimes you seem to forget that.”

“I’m still not used to it.”

When Leo smiled bitterly, Elena grinned.

“It’s okay. Leo, your very existence is a powerful force. I can take care of the flies buzzing around. That’s why I’m supporting you as vice student council president.”

Elena puffed out her chest and smiled brightly.

“Leo Flobe leaving his name in history as a perfect hero. That’s my goal.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s interesting.”

Elena stood up with a grin, looked at Leo while stepping backward, then lifted the hem of her skirt slightly.

“Well then, hero. This girl shall depart to help prepare for battle.”

Saying that, Elena laughed cheerfully and ran toward Lil, who had come out of the warp gate.

“Cute.”

Risinass appeared beside Leo.

“Nice, isn’t it? Having so many kids who follow you so blindly.”

“As if it’s nice.”

Risinass sat beside Leo and stared intently at his face.

Then he grinned.

“Thank goodness.”

“What?”

Leo looked at Risinass with a puzzled expression.

At that question, Risinass looked up at the blue sky and answered.

“Thank goodness it was you who was born in this era.”

“What are you suddenly talking about?”

“Just, if it had been me who was born… if it had been us, I don’t think we could have done as much as you.”

Risinass grinned.

“Kail. From my perspective, you’re already a perfect hero.”

A hero who would save the world.

Perhaps that was the hero even Risinass had dreamed of.

“I think you guys would have done much better than me?”

“Would it be possible to defeat Erebos without the power of purity?”

“Even without it, you would have somehow found the right answer.”

Leo said calmly.

“If Arron had been revived, his sword would have truly reached the realm of gods. Then he might have reached a level where he could cut through Erebos’s flames.”

Last time.

In the battle against the fragment of Erebos, Arron’s supersenses truly glimpsed the future.

Arron, who had stepped into the realm of gods, gained divinity thanks to that.

If Arron had been reincarnated, his sword might have truly reached the realm of gods.

Then there’s no telling what kind of miracle he would have performed.

“If Luna had been revived, she probably would have completed the White Flame.”

Magic that could have opposed Erebos.

Though it remained incomplete, after 5000 years that pure white flame was passed down to Runia.

If it had been Luna who was revived, she might have completed that magic.

“If it had been Dweno, he might have created a sword capable of cutting down Erebos.”

Leo gently brushed against Posteritas at his waist.

Dweno would have been capable of it.

“If it had been you, you would have led the new heroes better.”

What Leo was doing was ultimately imitating Risinass.

And even in his own view, he couldn’t match up to Risinass.

Perhaps the talents of the hero candidates would have bloomed even more.

The time of Arron, Luna, Dweno, and Risinass had inevitably stopped.

Even if they revealed themselves on this land again, unlike himself, the four of them couldn’t move forward.

If the flow of time were permitted to his friends like it was to himself.

There’s no telling what kind of miracle they would perform.

“And what makes me a perfect hero anyway? If that were the case, I wouldn’t have bothered raising kids in the first place.”

Leo snorted.

“…”

At those words, Risinass closed his eyes.

‘Right. Kail is correct.’

Perfect heroes don’t exist.

‘Neither Kail nor I. Nor the other friends.’

Didn’t they all have flaws?

They had pursued perfection by complementing each other’s shortcomings.

‘I want to live in the future with Kail.’

This was his lingering attachment.

A lingering attachment that could never be fulfilled.

Yet a foolishly stubborn attachment he couldn’t give up.

Risinass looked down at his palm.

‘Let’s pursue something else.’

He thought of something that could help the current Kail.

And he remembered.

Risinass rose from his seat.

“I’m going to meet the children of Seirun.”

“What? Why?”

Leo made a flustered expression.

“Just because. I became curious to see them. Those children who are Luna’s descendants.”

He had seen the Lumern students who were Kail’s descendants.

He had also met the dragons who were his own descendants.

All of them were people who wouldn’t be ashamed before the names Hero of the Beginning and King of Wisdom.

So naturally, he became curious.

About what the descendants of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies were like.

‘They probably have somewhat foolish aspects like Luna.’

Surely they would be children who shine brightly like Luna.

His chosen greatest hero.

He became curious about what the children who would become allies of Hero of the Beginning Kail looked like.

“I’ll go meet them.”

Risinass smiled broadly and disappeared.

Watching that sight, Leo made a somewhat worried expression.

‘When Risinass gets enthusiastic, he tends to cause trouble.’

Usually calm and composed, but when he becomes emotional, Risinass surprisingly has many gaps.

And his personality wasn’t particularly good either.

It wasn’t for nothing that Dweno evaluated both Risinass and Luna as having beautiful appearances but bad personalities, placing them on the same level.

The only difference from Luna was that he hid that true nature well.

While Leo was thinking this.

The Lumern students who had finished preparing to head to the battlefield emerged from the warp gate.

Then Chen Xia approached Leo.

“Lord Leo. Do you know where Lord Risinass went?”

Leo answered that question.

“He said he wanted to test the Seirun students and left?”

Chen Xia’s eyes widened.

“Really?”

Seeing Chen Xia smile brightly, Leo made a strange expression.

“Why do you look so happy about it?”

“It would be unfair if only we suffered!”

Seeing Chen Xia speak as if it were obvious, Leo clicked his tongue.

‘Pretending otherwise while being quite twisted inside, just like Bihar.’

“By the way, I heard there’s a female student among the Seirun students called the ‘Necromancer.'”

At Chen Xia’s words, Leo made a strange expression.

“What? That title sounds like some lackey of the Overlord King?”

“Who knows? I heard she grabbed the corpse of a dead knight and shook it violently?”

“What? That crazy elf?”

Leo frowned.
