76.

“Damn.”

Leo struggled to get up, feeling pain throughout his entire body.

He barely managed to rise, but his body wouldn’t listen to him.

‘My aura and spiritual power are completely drained.’

He had poured out all his remaining strength when blocking that attack just moments ago.

Leo looked around his surroundings.

“Fairy Land….”

Leo staggered as he gazed upon the fairies’ homeland that had already lost its past glory and was left with only desolation.

Losing his balance and stumbling backward, Leo felt something touch his waist.

Behind him was a small platform made of stone.

And what was there was a dagger.

Leo’s eyes widened greatly.

It looked like an ordinary dagger.

But Leo knew this dagger.

‘That arrogant little brat… back then she said she didn’t need it.’

Before the Great Heroes departed on their final expedition.

The item Kail had handed to Berkia.

He had given it to her to use in emergencies, but she had reacted haughtily, saying she wasn’t a child anymore.

A heroic relic related to the Hero of Beginnings, Kail.

In other words, it was the key to open Kail’s Heroes’ World.

‘So this was why Hel Kaiser was targeting this place.’

Leo reached his hand toward the sword.

Despite thousands of years having passed, the dagger was intact.

He could feel that its owner had cherished it greatly while alive.

Crackle-!

As Leo grasped the dagger, Silorod’s magic power caused a rejection reaction.

Wooong-!

But soon the magic power dwelling within the dagger responded.

Long ago, the magic power Kail had left behind reacted to its master after thousands of years.

Thud-! Thud-! Thud-!

He could see the Skeleton King walking toward him.

“Huh.”

Leo smiled lightly at his own magic power surging through his entire body.

Whoosh-!

A shadow fell over Leo’s head.

Thwoom!

Wooong-!

Grooooooooar-!

The surging magic power sent the Skeleton King flying.

Kruuuuung-!

The fallen Skeleton King.

Leo saw this and created a magic formula.

Enormous magic power that the current Leo couldn’t even dream of responded.

‘I can use any magic just once. What magic should I use.’

As he pondered, he saw Runia and Eiran looking at him with dazed expressions.

‘Right. That would be good.’

Whirr-!

A massive gray magic circle was generated above his head.

Leo’s unique magic – Bible had been activated.

‘It won’t match the original, but it’ll still be a great gift for those kids.’

The gray magic power soon became dyed with brilliant golden light.

The surrounding area looked as if dawn had arrived.

“Ah….”

Runia and Eiran’s bodies trembled.

They couldn’t tell what this mysterious Star Magic was.

But according to literature, it was recorded that when that magic was used, the world would be dyed with dawn starlight.

“Star Magic, the strongest spell.”

Runia muttered without realizing it.

The symbol of the great Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

“Conclusion.”

Starlight fell upon the Skeleton King’s head.

Grooooooooooar!

The Skeleton King let out a scream filled with agony and was crushed by the star’s power that transcended common sense.

Leo clenched his fist.

Crack-!

Space distorted and the crushed Skeleton King’s form disappeared.

Whoosh-!

Darkness came as if it were a lie.

Thump-!

Leo collapsed heavily.

“L-Leo!”

Runia struggled to move her body and approached.

Eiran, who had recovered some strength, also crawled over.

“Are you guys okay?”

“Is this the time to worry about us? You’re the most messed up!”

“Leo! Miss Runia! I believed you two would pull through!”

Eiran sniffled.

“Of course! But what was that magic just now! It was just like the legendary…!”

“It seemed like magic dwelling in this dagger.”

Leo said as he struggled to lift the sword that had now lost its power and become an ordinary dagger.

“It seems like an item related to the Great Heroes.”

Runia and Eiran held their breath.

If that was true, it would be an incredible discovery.

It wouldn’t be strange for Tartaros to cause such an incident over this.

“But how do we get back? My magic power is completely drained.”

“I don’t think I can use healing magic either. First, let’s give Leo emergency treatment…!”

It was when Runia and Eiran were troubled.

[Hey! Leo! Look at this! I found my wing!]

Kirran flew over holding a small piece of paper.

[This is definitely my wing! How is this thing sealed?]

Kirran grumbled and tugged at the piece of paper with effort.

Runia, who was watching this, was startled.

“Wait! Isn’t that a Hero Record fragment?”

Watching the surprised Kirran, Leo suddenly remembered something.

‘What Silorod sealed wasn’t just this dagger?’

“Kirran, give it to me.”

Leo said urgently.

At those words, Kirran flew to Leo and handed him the Hero Record fragment.

The moment the Hero Record fragment touched Leo’s palm.

[Hero Record Open. ■■’s World. Chapter: ■■-■■■]

A familiar phrase appeared before Leo’s eyes.

Flash—!

Along with those words, the surroundings were enveloped in bright light.

“Ugh?”

“Wh-what is this…?”

The surroundings were a completely different landscape.

A lush forest thick with vegetation.

“You’re going to defeat Erebos?”

A voice filled with disbelief could be heard.

Runia and Eiran turned their heads and froze.

What was there was an elf girl.

That elf girl looked exactly like someone extremely famous.

The elf girl grumbled as she waved her staff.

After healing her wounds with magic, she swung her staff toward Leo.

The three people’s injuries were instantly healed.

And the beautiful elf girl uttered words that didn’t match her face.

“Are you perhaps an idiot?”

Runia and Eiran’s jaws dropped while Leo burst into laughter without realizing it.

“What did you eat wrong to think something like that?”

While making a curious expression, the elf girl showed great interest in the human before her.

“Well, whatever. I like it. Defeating Erebos! A goal that suits me perfectly! I like it. I’ll join your party.”

The elf girl smiled confidently and extended her hand.

“You said ■■, right? My name is Luna! I’m destined to shine like the stars in the night sky, so consider it an honor that I’m accepting you into my party!”

Flash—!

The world distorted and returned to normal.

“Th-that just now!”

“That was Lady Luna! Could this possibly be Lady Luna’s Hero Record?!”

Runia and Eiran were extremely excited.

‘No. This is my Hero Record.’

It was exactly the same as what he had seen during the heroics practical class before.

‘A record from when Luna and I first met.’

Leo felt his body recover as he looked down at the Hero Record.

‘This confirms it.’

Leo let out a deep sigh.

‘Those Tartaros bastards are erasing the records of the Great Heroes.’

***

Around the time Leo’s group began to leave the forest after recovering.

Soldiers came from Elsalvechia’s Council.

They felt the magical power of ‘Terminus’ that Leo had used and realized something had happened in Fairy Forest, so they urgently dispatched soldiers.

Among them were Hallind and Herdium.

Hallind’s eyes became extremely cold when he discovered Leo.

Herdium was dismayed to hear that the academy’s top students had snuck out of the dormitory at night.

The three were given disciplinary action on the spot and confined to a Council room.

Nominally it was disciplinary action, but there was another reason.

“…Among Seirun’s students… there was someone cooperating with Tartaros?”

Herdium asked with a pale face.

“Yes. We didn’t want to believe it either…”

“Ah.”

Watching Runia answer cautiously, Herdium covered his face.

It was hard to believe, but they had identified that the unrecognizable corpse found in the forest was Lauta.

The ring that had devoured Lauta used him as nutrients and spat out the unnecessary corpse.

And traces of learning necromancy were found on that corpse.

Meanwhile, Hallind, who was listening to the story nearby, made a serious expression.

“So such a thing happened at Seirun too.”

“‘Too’… means the same thing happened at Lumern as well?”

“Something similar happened. Lumern’s upper management ordered us to keep quiet about it though.”

Hallind, who had been a Lumern professor for a long time and was Leo’s homeroom teacher, had received hints from Lumern’s upper management about what happened during midterms.

“How to handle this incident will be decided by Seirun’s upper management. Lumern will follow Seirun’s decision.”

“…”

Herdium nodded with a stern expression.

“And Leo Flobe.”

When Hallind’s cold gaze turned toward Leo, Runia and Eiran unconsciously hiccupped.

Lumerne Wall of Lamentations.

The two female students, experiencing the fierce momentum of Hallind, the terror of upperclassmen, for the first time, were momentarily terrified.

Of course, the familiar Leo calmly waited for Hallind’s words.

“You know that as class president, your crime of unauthorized absence from the dormitory is serious, right?”

“Yes.”

“Normally, you’d be sent back to school immediately and referred to the disciplinary committee.”

“…”

“But considering your achievements, I’ll let you off with 100 hours of campus service.”

“Understood.”

“And if there’s anything you want, speak up.”

Leo held back laughter at Hallind’s words.

‘No matter how you look at it, Professor Hallind really takes good care of his students.’

Rules were rules, but his pride in his student’s accomplishments was visible.

“I’d like the whole class to have some free time on the last day. Since it’s a school trip.”

Originally, even the last day of the school trip was packed with a tight schedule.

Hallind paused at Leo’s words and nodded.

“Alright. From the evening before, I’ll give you free time as long as you don’t cross the line.”

It would be news that would cause an uproar if Class 5 heard it.

While Leo smiled slyly, Herdium also cleared his throat.

“Students Runia and Eiran should also receive punishment.”

“What? Teacher~ We found the Progenitor’s Hero Record and items related to the Progenitor, didn’t we? Please let us off.”

“N-no! Rules are rules…!”

“Teacher~”

Runia whined.

Although Herdium received respect from all students as a teacher, since he treated students so well, they often acted spoiled toward him.

Since he unconsciously often indulged that spoiled behavior, he didn’t have the same overwhelming charisma as Hallind.

Herdium looked at Hallind with slightly envious eyes.

“The confinement is only until today. Even if classes resume tomorrow, keep quiet about what happened today.”

With Hallind’s final words, Hallind and Herdium left the room.

It was confinement in name, but really meant to rest here for the day.

“Phew! I thought we were in big trouble!”

Runia flopped down and made an exhausted sound.

“St-still, it was an amazing adventure. It felt like watching a heroic tale.”

Eiran spoke in an excited tone.

“Right! It was amazing! Especially seeing the Progenitor’s face!”

Runia sat up abruptly and spoke in an excited tone.

“Leo! This was your first time seeing a Great Hero too, right?”

“No.”

“What?”

“Have you ever seen another Great Hero?”

“I saw Risinass from the Heroes’ World in Lumern.”

“Wow, amazing.”

“I’m so jealous!”

Runia exclaimed in admiration while Eiran’s eyes sparkled brightly.

Runia and Eiran chatted excitedly about Luna.

‘It turned out just like you wanted.’

Leo thought of Luna.

Like the stars in the night sky. Remembering his dear friend who had said she wanted to bring light to the dark world, Leo burst into laughter.
