778.

Risinass smiled at Luna’s words.

Seeing that somehow lonely-looking smile, Luna flinched and bowed her head in embarrassment.

“Sorry. I was too harsh with my words.”

“No.”

Risinass shook her head.

“Your feelings… I understand them completely. Luna.”

Among the Great Heroes, it was none other than Luna who had searched most desperately for Kail.

5000 years ago.

Because she thought she was the one who had hurt Kail the most in their final journey.

‘If one of the two must live… you know it’s right for you to remain, carrying the burden of Arron and Dweno, don’t you?’

When Luna faced her final moment.

That cruelly forced choice.

Herself or Kail.

In that situation, Luna chose Kail.

It was an unavoidable choice, and ultimately Luna’s choice was the right one.

But unlike the other companions who were in life-or-death situations, Luna made the choice to give up and entrust the burden to Kail.

Forcibly pushing Kail’s back while she herself faced death.

That incident remained as a great source of guilt for Luna.

That’s why Luna was particularly obsessed with Kail’s Hero Record.

Somehow proving evidence that Kail had existed.

Even while hesitating to fight Erebos, that one thing she would never compromise on.

Risinass understood Luna too.

That’s why she knew Luna couldn’t help but become emotionally intense.

Looking at Luna with her head bowed and ears drooping, Risinass smiled bitterly and said.

“When I say to forget the past, I don’t mean to forget Kail.”

“…”

“Like Kail did… I mean let’s move forward without being bound by the past.”

“I know.”

Luna nodded.

“Arron… Kar will do well. The Hero Dungeon that appeared this time has a high probability of being Kail’s Hero Dungeon.”

Risinass also wanted to go search for Kail’s Hero Record immediately.

But circumstances made it difficult.

Tartaros’s legion commanders were still alive and well.

Luna was Seirun’s representative and the greatest force protecting the Northern Continent.

If Luna left her post and Silatuna caused trouble, the world’s political situation would shake drastically.

Protecting world peace.

That was the Great Heroes’ mission that had continued for 5000 years.

“I know. I was just throwing a little tantrum. Sorry for speaking so harshly.”

“Hehe. Don’t look so dejected. It doesn’t suit you.”

“Tch.”

Looking at Risinass comforting her, Luna clicked her tongue.

And glanced at Risinass.

‘She’s still pretty.’

How should she put it? She was fundamentally different from herself.

‘Really feels like a savior who would save the world. I probably couldn’t create that kind of atmosphere even if I tried my whole life.’

She could be the goddess of battlefield-changing reversal shots, but that kind of thing was beyond her.

“I’m relieved.”

“Hm? About what?”

“That you don’t like Kail, Risinass.”

“…”

If there was one way the reborn Luna differed most from her past life, it was that she had become honest with her own heart.

Of course, the still-dense Arron didn’t know.

Luna’s greatest regret was not being honest with her own feelings.

“Honestly, I’m confident I could beat anyone else in the world, but if you were my rival, I wouldn’t be confident.”

Risinass smiled brightly.

‘I should bury my heart for life.’

There was no one in this world to tell it to anyway.

And unlike Luna who didn’t know Risinass’s heart, Risinass had known Luna’s feelings since their past life.

‘Thank goodness. She’s an idiot about this kind of thing.’

Risinass inwardly sighed in relief.

‘If she found out I deceived Kail into a marriage contract, there’d be chaos.’

There was nothing good about it being revealed.

‘First, let me thoroughly control that deviant dwarf’s mouth.’

Thinking of the only person in this world who knew her feelings for Kail, Risinass smiled.

“I think you’re more attractive.”

“Really?”

Luna crossed her arms and tilted her head.

Then after a moment, she nodded.

“Well, I do have some advantages over you, both in past and present life.”

The presence of her advantage was evident from her crossed arms over her chest.

Seeing that, Risinass smiled brightly.

“Roon. This body is still in its growth period.”

“Yeah. Of course it’s a growth period.”

Luna nodded while sending a slightly pitying smile.

“I’m sure you’ll grow more.”

Watching Luna pat her shoulder consolingly, Risinass’s fist trembled slightly.

Taking a deep breath and forcing a smile, Risinass said.

“I’ll be going now.”

“Yeah. See you again. Let me know right away if you hear from Arron… Kar.”

“Got it.”

Risinass stepped onto the Warp Gate.

Flash-!

The Warp Gate emitted bright light and Risinass immediately returned to Lumern.

Exiting the gate, Risinass organized what she needed to do.

“First, go straight to the Student Council…”

Checking today’s tasks and immediately moving, Risinass suddenly stopped walking.

It was already late at night.

Normally it should be dormitory curfew time.

But Risinass, busy with Student Council work, often moved freely around the Academy even at late hours.

Stopping her steps, Risinass looked up at the sky.

‘…It’s been a while since I looked at the night sky like this.’

The starlit night sky she had so desperately wanted to reclaim.

It wasn’t only Luna who loved the stars.

Risinass had also loved this scenery very much.

Gazing at the scenery she had closed her eyes without ever seeing in her past life, Risinass smiled bitterly.

‘Now I’ve become too accustomed to it and grown numb.’

When she was just reborn, she used to forget to sleep at night and endlessly look up at the night sky.

Thinking she wasn’t the only one reborn in this world.

She had pictured reunions with her friends.

Thud- Thud-

Risinass carefully sat down on a nearby bench.

And gazed endlessly at the night sky he was seeing after a long time.

It was a peaceful era incomparable to his previous life.

5000 years ago.

The world had achieved victory against Erebos.

Since then, the world had prospered and regained its lost brilliance.

No, compared to the age of gods, the current era was one that shone even more brilliantly.

Countless heroes inheriting the will and power of the previous generation of heroes.

An abundant era where people did not suffer.

As a king leading the world.

As the leader of Arhi fighting against Tartaros, there could be no more ideal situation than this.

Though the final piece called Kail did not exist.

‘…We will win.’

Even without pure mana.

He would find a way.

Perhaps Luna or Dweno might create magic and weapons that could oppose Erebos.

Arron’s sword might reach a level where it could cut down Erebos.

This world held infinite possibilities sleeping within it.

But…

“It’s hard…”

Risinass, who had muttered quietly, pulled his legs close.

Though he was trying to act like he was fine, the absence of one person felt emptily large.

“I miss you… Kail.”

He repeated words he could never utter in front of others.

***

A sand beach shining with the morning sun.

Seawater swept in with the sound of waves shattered into pieces on the sand beach.

Though it was a tourist attraction sand beach, unfortunately there were currently no visitors using this place.

The reason was none other than Ajonia renting this city’s sand beach.

The reason was simple.

“Here I go!”

Thump-!

Arga, wearing a swimsuit on the beach, launched the ball into the air.

At the same time, Borman jumped and struck a spike with his palm.

Crash-!

An explosive sound rang out from the ball as it drove straight down toward Dion on the opposite side.

Dion let out a “Hup-!” battle cry and struck up the aura-laden ball with his fist.

Bang-!

Fist clashed with fist as sand scattered in all directions.

The sand beach was deeply dented.

But Dion did not fall.

Dion, who had deflected the force contained in the ball, shouted to his teammate Tabon.

“Tabon! It went that way!”

“Don’t worry! Prepare yourself!”

Tabon kicked the ball floating in the air as if driving it down.

It was an Ajonia game where hands and feet were used to drive the ball into the opposing side.

The problem here was that unlike Bastera, there was no issue with knocking down opponents.

Rather, it was such a rough game that Bastera would look genteel in comparison.

Without desert sand or sand beaches like this, the surrounding damage would be enormous due to the impact.

Since it was training before being a game, it was not very popular outside of beastman tribes.

They had blocked other visitors’ use for safety since they could get caught up in it.

Leo, sitting in a chair with a parasol spread on the beach, glanced at the Ajonia students.

“They’re cheerful.”

“They’re not cheerful, they’re pointlessly active. Those muscle-brained idiots.”

Rwen came over carrying a stack of newspapers and set them down next to Leo.

“I brought all the old newspapers as you requested.”

“Thanks.”

“I only did this because Senior Kar asked, but I refuse to do such errands in the future.”

Rwen snorted and stretched his body.

Leo chuckled at such Rwen and checked the newspapers.

The flow of the parallel world was completely different from the flow of the original world.

‘Time in that world barely flowed.’

After confirming yesterday that the clock was running slow, he checked the clock, but the second hand had barely moved a few times.

Leo, who confirmed that the second hand moved consistently rather than randomly, realized that the flow of time between this world and that world was completely different.

‘I don’t know the reason, but this clock seems to be the connecting link between that world and this world.’

After several experiments, he learned that no abilities worked on the clock.

It rejected pure mana, aura, magic power, and spiritual power alike.

Considering it was an ordinary clock that Raina had given as an entrance gift, it was strange that no supernatural abilities could reach it.

Leo, who had been looking at the clock for a moment, began reading through the newspapers Rwen had brought.

“Leo. You came out early.”

Just then, Kar approached.

“I wanted to watch the kids train a little.”

“Ah.”

Kar nodded.

“Warm up until I arrive. The real training will start when I come. You can look forward to it. My juniors are very strong!”

Kar clenched his fist tightly and his eyes sparkled.

Leo chuckled at such Kar.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

The Ajonia students of Leo’s world and the Ajonia students of this place were a little different.

It had to be that way.

After all, this side lived together with none other than the hero Arron, didn’t they?

‘Ar’s movements were also closer to Arron’s.’

Recalling yesterday’s fight, Leo looked at the newspaper.

“Please take care of us! Senior!”

“Yeah. Please take care of me too. Today let’s try training on super senses.”

At those words, Leo nodded.

“Super senses… Certainly, learning from that guy would allow better learning…”

“No one has entered the realm of super senses yet, right?”

“Yes!”

“It’s difficult.”

“…?”

Leo looked up.

“Hmm… Is it difficult with ordinary methods after all?”

Arron, with his arms crossed, fell into thought.

Then he soon let out a sigh.

“Do we need a life-threatening crisis filled with tension after all?”

“…”

Leo covered his face with his hands.

He had forgotten.

‘What kind of guy Arron is.’

And he overlooked one more thing.

What kind of guys the Ajonia students are.

“As expected, learning Senior Kar’s secret technique requires a desperate resolve!”

Arga clenched his fist.

At the same time as that shout.

Kwaaaaang-!

Arron’s murderous fist devastated the sand beach.

The screams of the Ajonia students echoed through the air.

The Ajonia students are the type who, if told it’s a strong person’s training method, would charge in headfirst without any doubt.

Leo muttered at the disaster unfolding before his eyes.

“This is going to kill the kids.”
