782.

In the middle of the scorching desert.

Arga, who had been trudging along using his longsword as a walking stick, suddenly collapsed to his knees with a thud and fell over.

“I was wrong… You guys go… first…”

However, despite Ar’s tragic muttering, the surroundings remained quiet.

Arga glanced up and looked behind him.

There, his classmates were already sprawled on the ground.

Seeing this, Arga muttered bitterly.

“Is this how it ends…”

Arga, who had muttered quietly, struggled to turn his body and sprawled out spread-eagle.

And with a melancholic face, he muttered.

“In the end… I wanted to return to Ajonia…”

“You’re just playing around.”

Glug glug glug-

“Pukkeok! Puheheheheuk!”

A water bottle suddenly appeared before his eyes and tilted, pouring water directly onto Ar’s face.

Arga flailed about and shot up from his position.

Kar approached the other students and gave them water to drink.

Soaking wet, Arga made a tearful expression.

“Just how long do we have to wander this desert?”

“Until you can properly handle your own power.”

Leo, who said this, turned around.

“Let’s go, Kar.”

“Yeah. Hang in there, guys.”

Kar followed behind Leo with his characteristic kind smile.

Ar’s group was traveling through the desert on their way back to Ajonia, fighting monsters while their abilities and physical capabilities were sealed.

This was due to Leo’s opinion that Ajonia itself was located in a very harsh environment compared to other Hero Academies, making it perfect for training.

As the day ended and evening came, Arga, who had set up camp, let out a sigh mixed with complaints in front of the campfire.

“That guy is really vicious.”

Unlike Kar’s physically demanding training, Leo was conducting mentally taxing training.

Having them undergo combat training with various restrictions in such extreme situations was a prime example.

At Ar’s complaint, Dion said.

“But he definitely teaches well.”

“I’ll admit that.”

The other students also nodded.

It was thanks to Leo that they had entered the realm of supersenses, which had been difficult to access.

Even though they had the basic foundation, their awakening ultimately happened because of Leo’s advice and training.

“He seemed to know us well too.”

Borman made an expression of wonder.

When receiving Leo’s training, he would often give instructions for training that couldn’t be done without understanding each person’s strengths and weaknesses.

That wasn’t something that could be grasped by observing for just a day or two.

“Did Senior Kar teach him?”

At Rwen’s muttering, Dion smiled bitterly.

“I don’t think Senior would be aware of such things.”

It wasn’t because Kar had no interest in his juniors.

Kar had worked more enthusiastically than anyone to care for and teach his juniors.

It’s just that he was terrible at teaching.

Kar’s training method was simple.

First, he would demonstrate.

After demonstrating something that seemed impossible, he would say ‘How’s that? Pretty easy, right? You can do it too!’ and explain the method and techniques.

Of course, from the listeners’ perspective, they couldn’t grasp it at all.

“Geniuses can never understand ordinary people.”

If they could enroll in Ajonia and achieve top-tier grades, they too would fall into the category of geniuses, but if Kar was the comparison, that was a different story.

Arga looked down at his palm.

After meeting Leo, Ar had become stronger rapidly in a short period.

‘No, more precisely, it seems I’ve become able to properly use the power I had.’

The words Leo had said during training still remained in his memory.

‘You’re neither Arron nor Kar.’

It was a fact he had known.

But the light emanating from the being called Kar was so intense that he had momentarily forgotten.

He had followed that light as if enchanted, but…

‘I am me.’

“…Won’t he come be a professor at our school?”

When Arga muttered quietly, everyone’s gaze fixed on Ar.

“What?”

“No, Ar. You don’t really like that guy.”

“Yeah. But now I do. He makes me stronger.”

Everyone nodded at Ar’s words.

“By the way, Lord Arron was… how should I put it. Shocking.”

At Dion’s words, the Ajonia students recalled the childhood Arron they had seen in Arron’s world.

Just around their age.

No, the appearance of the hero from an even younger time.

But young Arron was different from their imagination… no, quite a lot different.

“I liked it though. How should I say… even though he was so scared, he showed great courage when it was urgent.”

Ar said with a bright smile.

“He’s similar to Senior Kar. Could Senior Kar be Lord Arron’s reincarnation?”

At those words, the other students burst into hollow laughter.

“You have quite an imagination.”

“That’s an interesting thought.”

“Why! He’s strong and dignified like Lord Arron, and he’s also scared! He could be a reincarnation!”

Arga got worked up.

Leo, who had been listening to that conversation from not too far away, stirred the campfire and said.

“That Ar kid… she’s unnecessarily perceptive. Don’t you think so?”

“Kail! Your cooking skills seem to have improved? You could open a restaurant!”

“…Yeah. Eat plenty.”

Leo burst into hollow laughter watching Kar innocently eating the food.

Leo said to Kar, who was eating with a happy expression.

“I’m thinking we should head to Lumern soon.”

“Huh?”

Kar’s eyes widened.

“Those kids also seem to have found their respective directions to move forward.”

During the short time the Ajonia students received training from Leo, they had changed remarkably.

The vessels were complete.

Their direction was just wrong.

‘Well, with such an intense light called a hero beside them, they couldn’t help but be blinded.’

The Ajonia students from Leo’s world had each decided on their own path in their own way.

Since they were paths chosen after deep contemplation of their strengths and weaknesses, they were clothes that fit each of them.

But the Ajonia students in this world were different.

‘It won’t just be Ajonia. Other schools will probably be in similar situations.’

In this world, Kar, who is Arron’s reincarnation, Roon, who is Luna’s reincarnation, and Valhar, who is Dweno’s reincarnation, are called the return of the Great Heroes.

‘Only Risinass isn’t receiving such evaluations.’

That’s probably because the Hero of the Beginning is considered a fictional figure on this side.

‘The Lumern students… might be a little different from Ajonia, Seirun, and Demian.’p>

None other than Risinass is teaching them.

Leo recalled the way he had led the hero candidates.

Leo thought about methods that would allow the hero candidates’ potential to be maximized.

‘In the end, what I showed those guys was direction.’

Endlessly stimulating them, asking if they could chase after this back

Sometimes matching their pace, sometimes going ahead and adjusting the distance.

That’s how they could grow significantly.

Now, the hero candidates from Leo’s world are following along despite feeling the distance between them and Leo.

‘But these guys are different.’

Leo looked at Kar.

A worldline where the Great Heroes except himself had reincarnated.

Leo needed companions to share the burden, but the friends in this worldline had friends to rely on.

That difference had influenced the hero candidates.

‘Originally, the fact that Silatuna and Gias weren’t subjugated, as well as Erebos’s fragments not awakening, might be related to that too.’

This is a world where four Great Heroes have reincarnated.

The power of those four people would be a strong deterrent force just by their existence alone.

‘Even so, the Heroes of the Cataclysm in this world have also reached their limits.’

Then they would be preparing for that.

Leo looked down at his hands.

‘I’ll pass on everything I can pass on.’

There must be a reason why he came to a worldline where he wasn’t born.

“Even without me, those Ajonia guys will do well on their respective paths now.”

“Yeah. That’s right. But do you need to go to Lumern so urgently? How about staying in Ajonia for a bit?”

Kar made a regretful expression.

Looking at such Kar, Leo chuckled.

“I’m curious about what the Lumern students in this world are like.”

“Ah. I think I’d be curious too.”

Kar nodded.

Then he said.

“I’ll go to Lumern right away once the Ajonia matter is finished too. See you then! And! Don’t reveal your identity to Risinass until I get to Lumern!”

“Why?”

“I want to surprise her! Risinass will definitely be happy.”

“She would be. Her dead husband came back to life. She’d be happy.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“Didn’t Risinass tell you? That guy liked me.”

“…”

“Luna liked me too. Anyway.”

When Leo chuckled, Kar made a worried expression.

“Kail. Are you okay? Did your head get messed up from fighting Erebos?”

Looking at Kar who was genuinely worried, Leo sighed.

‘I’d like to punch him if I could.’

Unfortunately, he couldn’t beat the beastman in front of him in pure hand-to-hand combat.

Leo got up from his seat.

“Anyway, I’ll be at Lumern first, so finish up and come.”

“Okay. But can you get into Lumern?”

“I’m the student council president, do you think I can’t get in?”

Leo chuckled and disappeared using spatial movement magic.

“If they know about Kail’s existence… Risinass and Luna will return to their old selves too, right?”

When Kar smiled with genuine joy.

Swoosh-!

“Huh?”

Something flew down from the sky.

“A wind hawk?”

It was a familiar often used for delivering letters or small items as a wind spirit beast.

And there was only one summoner in this world who would use a wind hawk to find him.

Kar read the letter the wind hawk delivered and his eyes widened.

“Come to Demian right now?”

Reading Risinass’s letter, Kar tilted his head.

“What happened? More than that, I’ll miss crossing paths with Kail.”

Kar clicked his tongue and got up.

“Guys~ Let’s go back to the Academy right now. Something urgent came up!”

***

Leo, who quickly arrived at a nearby city through spatial movement magic, found a Warp Gate and immediately moved to Lumeria City.

The time was around late night.

Leo walked through the familiar streets of Lumeria City.

‘Nothing much has changed here. Well, it’s the same space after all.’

Leo wandered around Lumeria City and soon entered a suitable inn.

‘Arron told me not to meet Risinass… Then should I go find Rian first?’

Arron didn’t know about the existence of Rian, the librarian of the Hero Record.

Thinking he could get help from Rian anyway, Leo stood at the bustling inn counter.

“Welcome! Customer!”

A familiar voice was heard.

Leo unconsciously started to raise his head but stopped.

“Cal?”

“Huh? Do you know me, customer?”

There was the orange-haired boy, Cal, looking at Leo with wide eyes.
