779.

Whoosh-!

Kar’s fierce fist cut through the air as it was swung.

“Wind pressure from punches! Dodge!”

Kwang! Pububububububung-!

“Kraaak!”

“I told you to dodge, why did you get hit!”

Borman was sent flying by the fierce storm generated from Kar’s fist.

Chain explosions caused by air pressure occurred over the sea that spread out behind him.

Seeing this, Leo let out a hollow laugh.

“Heh. At that level, it’s practically a bizarre technique now.”

Leo was admiring this new technique he had never seen in his previous life when it happened.

Kwang-!

“Gueek?!”

Splash-!

Rwen, who was grazed by Kar’s charge with aura covering his entire body, let out a miserable scream as he was sent flying and fell into the sea.

One-sided domination.

Leo sighed deeply as he watched the Ajonia students being sent flying into the sky just from being grazed by Kar.

Then, sensing people behind him, he turned around to see crowds gathered outside the sand beach, watching.

“Ooooh…! He’s lasting today!”

“Popcorn for sale~”

“Ah! Run away! I bet that you’d be the last one to fall!”

The Ajonia students’ training seemed to have already become good entertainment in this city.

Leo clicked his tongue as he watched Kar creating sandstorms.

‘Even I’m not quite at that level.’

To begin with, Kar doesn’t know the meaning of moderation.

Being born with such overwhelming talent, he can’t understand what others can’t do.

He just looks at them pitifully and teaches with his body.

It’s not that there’s no effect, but it’s definitely training that’s hard to endure.

Dion, who had been charging at Kar, came flying toward where Leo was.

Puhwahak-!

Leo slightly dodged Dion who came flying while scattering sand in all directions and stood up from his spot.

Kugagagagagak-!

At that moment, Rwen, who had fallen into the sea, used magic to pull seawater toward them.

Seeing this, Leo clicked his tongue and evacuated to a place beyond the magic’s range.

The training that resembled real combat was extremely brutal.

Pububububung-!

Water and sand scattered in all directions.

A moment later.

Splash- Splash-

Leo, who had put his feet in the water at the safe zone by the seaside, crossed his arms and looked at the beastman standing until the very end.

The last person standing was none other than Ar.

“Hiyaaaaat!”

Ar charged toward Kar with great vigor.

Bang-!

“Kyaul!”

But she was immediately hit by a punch and sent flying.

Coincidentally, the place Ar flew toward was where Leo was.

Leo clicked his tongue and spread both arms.

Pook-!

Ar, who was caught perfectly in Leo’s arms in a princess carry, opened her eyes wide.

“Are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah… I’m fine…”

“Good then.”

“Huk?!”

Splash-!

“Kuhek! Puheoheup!”

When Leo let go of his hands, Ar fell straight into the sea and flailed about.

“It’s shallow.”

When Leo spoke, Ar, who had been struggling, suddenly stood up.

Splash-!

Seawater rushed in and covered Ar.

“How can you suddenly let go like that!”

Leo grinned at Ar who was protesting and approached Kar.

The students who were in shambles crawled toward Kar’s vicinity.

Ar also followed behind Leo with difficulty, using a stick that had washed up on the shore as a walking stick.

Kar made a sad expression as he looked at his juniors in their miserable state.

“Poor things… Are you all okay?”

“We’re, we’re fine…”

“We’re perfectly fine!”

The Ajonia students answered energetically as they looked at Kar who was genuinely worried about them.

“Are you giving them the disease and then the cure? You’re the one who beat them up to make them like that.”

At Leo’s words, Kar’s shoulders drooped.

Seeing that, Leo scratched his head and looked at the Ajonia students as he spoke.

“You’re doing well to attend school without dying.”

At those words, Borman struck his chest muscles with a pak-! and said.

“We are the proud descendants of Heroes and Great Warriors! We become stronger through this rough training!”

“The effect is certain.”

Dion also nodded with a bitter smile.

It was definitely true.

Ajonia’s third-years were physically very sturdy.

‘They feel much more wild than these guys from my world.’

It had to be that way.

What the Ajonia students in Leo’s world saw and were inspired by wasn’t the Hero.

It was the image of the Hero projected onto the figure of the Hero of the Beginning.

Even though Leo could pass on Arron’s will and techniques, he couldn’t become their Hero.

‘Because there is only one Hero.’

But the Ajonia students of this world were different.

Just as the Lumern students were influenced by Leo and followed him.

The Ajonia students of this place had also grown up receiving direct influence from Arron, who was their ideal and aspiration.

Though they didn’t know it, they were essentially growing as the Hero’s disciples.

The problem was…

‘These guys are becoming stupidly strong in brute force just like Arron.’

Leo let out a deep sigh.

With this kind of real combat sparring, they had definitely become physically stronger and their combat sense had grown.

‘If we’re talking purely about brute force and speed, this side has the advantage over our guys.’

But that didn’t mean these guys could beat the Ajonia students from Leo’s side.

‘Technically, our guys are far superior.’

Right now, these guys hadn’t awakened their super senses.

‘Most importantly…’

Leo looked at Ar.

‘Our cat is stronger.’

This was definitely unexpected.

Since she was directly influenced by Arron, he had expected that this world’s Ar would be stronger compared to Leo’s world’s Ar.

But she wasn’t.

‘No matter how poorly Arron taught her, if she went through such harsh training… there’s no way she wouldn’t become strong.’

“Hey, cat.”

“I have a name called Ar Tune!”

Ar placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and lifted her chin.

Looking at such Ar, Leo said.

“Between you from Seirun and Runia El Runda, who’s stronger?”

“Hmph! Of course I’m stronger! Who are you comparing me to that frail, weak elf?”

Ar snorted.

At those words, Leo tilted his head.

‘Frail and weak?’

Those were words that didn’t suit Runia.

Certainly, in terms of physical ability, Ar, being a beastman and warrior, was superior.

But even so, Runia was far from frail and weak.

‘Thinking of that fierce, thug-like personality, it doesn’t match at all. Do their personalities change slightly too? Looking at this fool, it doesn’t seem like it though.’

Leo fell into thought while feeling puzzled.

‘Runia isn’t strong either…’

Leo, who had been muttering to himself for a moment, looked at Ar and said.

“Cat.”

“So I have a name called Ar Tune…!”

“What’s your goal?”

“Huh?”

Ar’s eyes widened.

“What’s your goal as a hero?”

At the sudden question, Ar made a flustered expression.

Seeing Leo’s endlessly serious appearance, Ar was momentarily confused.

But after a while.

Ar, who had been seriously contemplating, said.

“To follow in Senior Kar’s footsteps.”

“Not the Great Hero?”

“Senior Kar is the Great Hero’s successor, right?”

Ar shrugged her shoulders.

Then she snorted with a “Hmph!”

“Following in such Senior Kar’s footsteps ultimately means following in Great Hero Arron’s footsteps!”

‘Following in Kar’s footsteps…’

Leo looked at Kar and said.

“Wouldn’t it be better to dream bigger?”

“What do you mean?”

“You Ajonia students are descendants of the Great Hero anyway. Wouldn’t chasing the Great Hero’s back be a bigger dream than chasing this guy’s?”

“Senior Kar is amazing!”

Ar smiled brightly.

“An unprecedented student in Ajonia! Overwhelming martial prowess! Plus, he’s the second beastman after Arron to freely use sign language!”

“You can do it too.”

“That’s because I learned from Senior Kar.”

“You learned that quite well.”

“…”

Ar’s face rapidly darkened.

When Leo glanced at Kar, Kar made an awkward smile.

‘I don’t even want to know what he did.’

Leo clicked his tongue.

“After enrolling there, he conquered Arron’s entire world by himself! All alone! Senior Kar is a legend itself! Though he’s a bit cowardly! That’s charming in its own way too! When necessary, he shows tremendous courage like Great Hero Arron!”

“…Alone?”

Leo’s face changed strangely.

“Without giving others a chance?”

“Huh? So what?”

When Ar nodded as if asking what the problem was, Leo looked at Kar.

Kar subtly averted his gaze.

“Hey, let’s have a talk.”

“Huh? Let’s talk here?”

“Follow me. You guys rest.”

Leo grabbed Kar by the scruff of his neck and headed to a deserted place.

Coming to a place with no people, Leo released Kar and said.

“You. You understand what Hero Record is, right?”

“Y-yeah… It’s the power that passes down the strength of previous heroes to future children…”

“Then why didn’t you give other guys a chance to conquer? There must have been plenty of opportunities to conquer together, right?”

When Leo narrowed his eyes, Kar fidgeted with his fingers.

“The… the trials I experienced were dangerous for the children… and also…”

“Be honest.”

Leo glared and said.

“You deliberately conquered it alone, right? Because you were afraid the fact that you were a coward would be revealed?”

“B-but… Kail…!”

“But what! What’s this ‘but’!”

“I-I can train them, right? Actually, Ar can use sign language and gained the ability to make other beastmen use sign language through howling…”

“Are you going to kill the kids with your training!”

“I-I couldn’t shatter people’s fantasies.”

“You did it because you were embarrassed!”

Leo smacked Kar on the head.

Kar’s shoulders drooped.

“Are there other guys who did this kind of thing?”

“I’m the only one…”

“How proud.”

Leo sighed.

Just because she couldn’t conquer the hero’s world didn’t mean Ar was weak.

Ar’s potential was at an amazing level even for Leo.

For Ar, whether she conquered Arron’s world or not was only a very small difference.

Crucially, this world’s Ar was said to have skills comparable to Runia.

Kar didn’t deny that fact either.

‘That means Runia conquered Luna and Luna’s world together.’

Perhaps she was given even more opportunities than Leo’s world’s Runia.

‘But still, compared to my world’s Runia, she’s weaker.’

Driana wouldn’t be different either.

‘…There is a crucial difference between this world’s three people.’

Leo, who had been contemplating, reached one conclusion.

The three people from Leo’s world were the official successors of the Great Heroes.

Whether they liked it or not, they were destined to inevitably become the Great Heroes’ successors.

But this world was different.

Officially, the successors of the Great Heroes are the Great Heroes themselves, excluding himself.

‘…The children here aren’t following the backs of the Great Heroes.’

They’re following behind the successors of the Great Heroes.

A difference in admiration.

A difference in dreams.

A difference in what must be done.

‘They’re not able to fully unfold their potential.’

It’s not his friends’ fault.

It’s an unavoidable situation.

Leo looked at Ar in the distance talking with the Ajonia Students and said.

“Arron.”

“Yeah?”

“Ar is the child who will become your successor.”

“Yeah. I know. That’s why I’m also teaching Ar many things…”

“Not as Kar’s successor, but as the successor of Hero Arron.”

Leo made eye contact with Kar.

“Show them your true self. Those children will never be disappointed.”

“…”

Kar shrank his shoulders and looked at Leo.

“And… I’ll train those kids for just a little while.”

“You will?”

“There must be a clear reason why I came here.”

“…”

“If that’s the case, I should pass on what I can pass on.
