784.
Roooooar! Whoooosh-!
“Evacuate!”
“It’s the Calamity Flame!”
The Seirun students tried their best to get as far away as possible from the Calamity Flame with faces pale as sheets.
Thud- Thud-
Meanwhile, there was one student walking toward the Calamity Flame.
A female student holding a longsword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Beautiful silver hair like melted silver and deep blue eyes reminiscent of a lake.
Eiran faced the Calamity Flame directly.
Kwaaaaaaah-!
At that moment, black flames struck toward Eiran.
As Eiran raised her shield, a silver aura enveloped it.
Kwaaaaaang-!
Whoooooosh-!
Eiran bit her lips tightly after blocking the descending Calamity Flame.
Even so, she chanted magic without rest.
Soon, a silver blade surged from Eiran’s sword.
Slash-!
The Animus sword cut through the Calamity Flame.
For a moment, the momentum of the black flames subsided under that intense sword energy.
“As expected of Senior Eiran!”
“The student council president’s left arm!”
The Seirun students who saw this cheered enthusiastically.
However, Eiran, who had blocked the Calamity Flame, bit her lips tightly.
“Is it not working…?”
With that quiet murmur, the Calamity Flame that had shrunk back blazed even more fiercely.
Kwaaaaaaaaah-!
Thud-!
Eiran firmly supported herself with both legs on the ground.
Along with that, she held her shield forward to block the wave of black flames rushing toward her.
Whoooooosh-!
Eiran, who had been endlessly blocking the burning black flames with her shield, lowered her stance even more.
Then.
Rooooooooo-!
Crimson flames burst out from behind Eiran, pushing back the black flames.
Kwaaaah-!
“Miss Runia!”
Eiran turned around with a bright expression.
There, Runia was walking with elegant steps.
The right arm of Seirun’s student council president Roon and Seirun’s vice president.
With Runia’s appearance, the Seirun students showed even brighter expressions.
Runia spoke to the watching students with red eyes.
“Everyone. Please step back. This place is dangerous.”
Even at those words, the students showed no signs of retreating.
An emergency situation occurring within Seirun.
And the appearance of two people who were the student council president’s closest associates meant only one thing.
Flash-!
Countless magic circles unfolded in the skies above Seirun.
One student looked up at the sky and shouted.
“It’s Senior Roon!”
At those words, all students looked up at the sky.
Seirun’s student council president, called the reincarnation of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, Luna Rubinance.
Overwhelming magical power and magical skills.
And with the appearance of Roon, who was evaluated to have advanced Star Magic by one level, the Seirun students went wild with excitement.
The reason they were enthusiastic about Roon’s appearance was simple.
Roon rarely showed himself in official settings.
He didn’t attend classes well and was always absorbed only in magical research in his private workshop.
At Seirun, seeing him absorbed in Star Magic research, they called him a ‘genius’ and there was an atmosphere of overlooking his somewhat eccentric behavior.
As a result, Roon’s behavior of not showing himself in official settings added mystery to his beautiful appearance, making even more elves go wild with excitement.
Since it was difficult for Seirun students to meet Roon, they didn’t leave their positions even in this situation.
And there was also absolute trust in the skills of Roon, called the reincarnation of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.
Even at the cheering sounds of the Seirun students, Roon looked only at Erebos with indifferent eyes.
“Runia, Eiran.”
“Yes!”
“Could you get as far away as possible with the students?”
At Roon’s words, Runia and Eiran moved out of the Calamity Flame’s range.
Along with that, Roon raised his staff.
“Terminus.”
Roon, who had been looking at Erebos with cold eyes, lowered his staff downward.
“Pluvia.”
The light of terminus became rain and poured down from the sky.
Terminus falling as small water droplets was literally a rain of destruction.
Flash! Kwagagagagagagagagang-!
The rain of terminus that poured around the Calamity Flame like a localized downpour devastated the surrounding area.
Fusion magic that Roon created after his reincarnation.
It was literally natural disaster-level magic that overlaid terminus on rain-casting magic.
Due to Luna’s attack, the Calamity Flame seemed to die down for a moment.
Roon’s eyes, who had been watching that sight, narrowed.
“Tch. Is it useless?”
Rummmmmmmble-!
As he clicked his tongue quietly, a pillar of black flames shot up toward Roon.
Roon quickly ascended using Fly magic and avoided the black flames targeting him.
Roon, flying through the sky at tremendous speed, glanced at Erebos.
The center where the flames were burning was clearly visible.
‘…Is he attempting to escape from the World of Cataclysm through Seirun’s Hero Record?’
Roon also knew the truth about the Cataclysm.
As well as the fact that the Hero Records of the Cataclysm Heroes were used as passages.
“Tsk. I should have dealt with those Pureblood Society bastards earlier.”
The bad blood between Roon and the Pureblood Society began when Roon enrolled.
The Pureblood Society defined Roon, who showed unusual behavior after enrollment, as a heretic.
The reason Roon enrolled in Seirun was because he thought having Seirun student status would make it easier to find traces of Kail.
Thus, as soon as Roon enrolled in Seirun, he published a thesis that the Hero of the Beginning actually existed.
The reason Kail became a non-existent hero was because many pages were destroyed when Erebos was sealed in the World of Cataclysm 3000 years ago.
Among them, Tartaros had thoroughly destroyed Kail’s pages, and as a result, the historical records of Kail’s activities became a blank state where no one knew whose achievements they were.
Among them, there was much history that was actually Kail’s achievements but was recorded as Luna’s achievements.
Roon organized the original true history into a thesis based on his memories.
Although there was no evidence, circumstantially Roon’s thesis was accepted as very plausible content.
That was what got on the Pureblood Society’s nerves.
‘I just said I didn’t do what I didn’t do.’
Roon ground his teeth in frustration.
Roon’s thesis was designated as a forbidden book, and the Pureblood Society used every means to expel Roon from Seirun.
However, as Roon perfectly restored Star Magic and was called the reincarnation of Luna in elven society, the Pureblood Society’s influence rapidly diminished.
Gradually, the Pureblood Society had been existing as if holding their breath, present yet absent.
In such a situation, they brought Seirun’s Hero Record fragment into Seirun and caused this incident.
Roon, who had been clicking his tongue, soon put aside thoughts about the Pureblood Society.
‘The Pureblood Society can wait for later.’
Roon looked at the swirling black flames.
‘First, I need to deal with that.’
In the current situation, if Erebos’s fragment escapes the world of creation, it would become troublesome in many ways.
“I can’t just leave it like that!”
Roon, gripping his staff, charged toward the center of the flames without hesitation.
If it’s hard to put it back from the outside, then he’d just go inside and forcibly drag it back.
Roon’s eyes flashed as he rushed at tremendous speed toward the center of the black flames.
He burst toward Seirun’s fragment that was spewing forth flames of disaster.
Kwaaaaaa-!
“Senior Roon!”
Runia, who was watching from afar, shouted urgently.
A moment later.
Gooooooo-
The black flames that had been swirling around began to be sucked into Seirun’s Hero Record.
Shortly after, the black flames that seemed ready to destroy everything around them disappeared.
At the center stood Roon, holding Seirun’s Record in its perfect form.
Roon, who had been looking at Seirun’s Record for a moment, ignited flames.
Flicker-
“Hang in there just a little longer.”
Roon smiled bitterly and grasped the Hero Record as it crumbled to ash and scattered.
“Senior Roon! Are you alright?!”
Eiran rushed over frantically and examined Roon.
Seeing Eiran like this, Roon smiled brightly and nodded.
“I’m fine, Eiran.”
“Yes.”
“Could you contact the North Mage Tower Lord?”
“The North… Mage Tower Lord?”
“Yes.”
Runia, who knew the identity of the North Mage Tower Lord, showed a slightly bewildered expression.
“I think we need to investigate the Pureblood Society’s background. And I think I need to go to Lumern, so get ready.”
At those words, Eiran looked puzzled.
“Senior Roon. Going to Lumern… is to meet the student council president of Lumern, right? If that’s the case, shouldn’t you go to Demian?”
“…I don’t really want to go to Demian. I’ll wait for Rea in Lumern.”
Roon smiled bitterly.
Runia and Eiran, who knew that Roon disliked Demian for some reason, nodded.
‘That’s the land where Kail died.’
Roon’s face darkened slightly.

“Oh. Traveling the world…”
Cal was impressed.
“Your skills seem quite extraordinary. Haven’t you thought about enrolling in Lumern?”
Before long, Cal was comfortably exchanging conversation with Leo.
This was thanks to Cal discovering they were the same age and displaying his characteristic sociability.
“I somehow missed the enrollment period.”
“That’s a shame. Your atmosphere is somehow… similar to Rea’s, so it would have been amazing.”
Cal showed a regretful expression.
Despite being expelled from Lumern, Cal maintained friendships with his classmates.
‘No. It’s more than just maintaining friendships.’
Leo glanced at the inn’s first-floor dining room.
Several Lumern students could be seen there.
Cal said that after leaving Lumern, he used his characteristic resourcefulness to gather money and open an inn.
And he was utilizing his alchemical talent and information-gathering abilities to support Lumern students in various ways.
Even now, he was collecting events happening around the world and quickly delivering them to Lumern.
There was even a bulletin board on the first floor with commission requests that Lumern students needed.
Though he only attended Lumern for exactly one year, he was running a business very closely connected to Lumern.
‘This was Cal’s goal from the beginning.’
In Leo’s world, he bloomed his talents to rise to the position of a hero and served as a supporter within Lumern, but in this world, despite leaving Lumern, he was still performing the role of a supporter.
‘He was never the type to give up in the first place.’
There was only a difference in combat talent.
The place Cal was looking toward was originally in the same direction as where Leo had been looking.
And he was never the type to give up easily either.
There was a reason the gods gave Cal the title ‘One Who Prepares the Beginning’ in the original timeline.
Leo sighed heavily and mentally reviewed the stories about the great heroes he had heard from Cal.
‘Arron and Dweno don’t seem to have changed much. But Risinass and Luna are completely different.’
Risinass was said to evaluate hero candidates thoroughly based on talent alone.
Even in this world, Cal was said to have had the skills to advance to second year, though just barely.
The person who recommended the path of a full-fledged supporter instead of the hero’s path to such a Cal was none other than Risinass.
‘Rea said so. That I had no hope as a hero. When that guy, who’s the most perfect hero I’ve ever seen, said that, I had nothing to say.’
Leo breathed deeply, recalling Cal’s words from earlier.
‘And that Luna guy… became a reclusive loner? Writing tons of papers about the Hero of the Beginning rather than magic papers?’
It was an unbelievable appearance for Luna, who had been cheerful and full of passion for magic.
But Leo could vaguely understand why Risinass and Luna had become different from how he knew them.
‘Is my existence holding those guys back?’
Leo was sighing when it happened.
Jingle- Jingle-
“Ahem! Come here! Quickly prepare alcohol and meat for the future heroes!”
A voice familiar to both Leo and Cal was heard.
The two people who entered the inn were all too familiar to Leo and Cal.
“Oh! Chelsea! Iliana!”
Cal jumped up from his seat with a bright smile.
“Hi! Cal!”
“You haven’t grown at all in several months! I’m relieved!”
“Why are you picking a fight as soon as we meet!”
“Kuk!”
Chelsea flared up and delivered a drop kick to Cal’s solar plexus.
Watching Chelsea trample on the fallen Cal with her characteristic fierce expression, Iliana spoke.
“Um… Chelsea. If you do that, Cal will get hurt.”
Iliana stopped Chelsea with a somehow gloomy voice.
At those words, Cal jumped up from his spot.
“Let me introduce you. This is Leo Flobe! My new friend I made recently.”
“You’re still as sociable as ever? Nice to meet you. I’m Chelsea Rwallin.”
Chelsea greeted him with a bright smile.
“I-I’m Iliana Raden…”
The moment their eyes met, Iliana shrank her shoulders and greeted him in a shrinking voice.
Seeing this, Leo made a bewildered expression.
‘Why is she acting like this again?’
