800.

After finishing the interview with Daid, the three people left the Flobe Household’s office.

Since Daid was an ordinary lord of a rural territory, they couldn’t obtain any special information from him.

Most of it consisted of eyewitness accounts from the citizens.

“We’ll need to investigate the location directly to know the specifics.”

Leo hadn’t expected to obtain information from his father either.

The reason for coming to meet Daid directly was because he was the lord who held total responsibility for this territory.

‘Well, just affecting Luna in various ways is already a gain.’

Leo glanced at Roon, who seemed to be deep in thought about something.

There was a hint of confusion somewhere on that face.

Leo, who had been looking at Roon, glanced at Raina.

And then he unconsciously opened his mouth.

“Ugh.”

“Hm? What kind of rude reaction is that?”

Raina grabbed Leo’s collar with a beautiful smile.

She was smiling brightly like a flower, but veins were bulging menacingly on her forehead.

It was an unconscious reaction from Leo upon seeing Raina, who had been wearing a somehow girlish expression just moments before.

Raina, who had been shaking Leo back and forth, let him go.

“By the way, you.”

“What?”

“Do you resemble Marquis Daid?”

Raina placed her hand on her chin and tilted her head.

Leo straightened his collar and said,

“Not at all?”

“Hey, hey. Seirun Student Council President. Doesn’t this guy resemble Marquis Daid from earlier?”

“He doesn’t resemble him at all.”

Roon also shook his head.

Daid Flobe.

While he was someone with a kind impression and charm that made people feel at ease, he had an ordinary appearance that was far from handsome.

‘If I had to say, my face takes after my mother’s genetics.’

Leo had been popular with female students even before he stood out within Lumern, which was full of handsome men and beautiful women.

As such, Leo thought his appearance came from Raina.

‘When mother always said I resembled father a lot, I thought she said that because we’re father and son…’

It seems Raina’s eye for detail is frighteningly good.

Raina, who had been making a somewhat curious expression, glanced at the door and said,

“Marquis Daid… I wonder if he’s married?”

“Are you interested?”

Roon’s eyes widened.

“Yeah. I find him appealing.”

“I thought you’d be very picky when it comes to men… Surprisingly, you like ordinary people.”

When Roon spoke as if it was unexpected, Leo chuckled.

‘She is picky when it comes to men. She only feels attracted to people she perceives as good.’

Raina seems passionate but has a very cautious personality.

Of course, when she thinks ‘this is it,’ she becomes very aggressive.

“Looking at the household atmosphere, there doesn’t seem to be a lady of the house?”

“Oh ho, indeed.”

Raina’s eyes sparkled and she smiled broadly.

“I want to have a daughter.”

“Why?”

“Because a son would probably turn out to be an arrogant kid with no charm like you.”

Raina opened her eyes drowsily and lightly tugged at the ends of Leo’s hair as she spoke.

Leo chuckled at such Raina and said,

“Now let’s go to where the black flames occurred.”

“Yeah. Shall we?”

Whirrrr-! Flash-!

Powerful magical energy swirled as Rea appeared at Lumern’s Warp Gate.

Even though the student council president had returned to school, there were no students there to greet her.

‘I guess everyone’s in class right now?’

Rea checked the time and exited the Warp Gate.

She then exchanged greetings with the faculty and returned to the dormitory building.

The faculty seemed more distracted than usual.

Normally, Rea would have noticed that atmosphere and intuited that something had happened during her absence.

But Rea’s mind was complicated due to this business trip.

‘… Erebos’s obsession in Kail’s form.’

Rea bit her lip.

Just the fact that Erebos had taken Kail’s appearance made her feel murderous.

But the problem didn’t end there.

‘To think he could bring beings recorded in the Hero Record to the outside world.’

That was the most shocking thing.

‘Of course, the obsession’s power was clearly diminished but…’

Considering Erebos’s immortality, it’s strange.

Obsession.

A small fragment of the power of Erebos’s shard.

But even so, it possesses Erebos’s authority of immortality.

‘Summoning beings recorded in the Hero Record must use fundamental power… For instance, divine power.’

The Hero Record and gods are fundamentally the same.

Rea deduced the situation with her characteristic insight.

‘Summoning beings from the past would consume enormous power, so it would be a great burden for the opponents too.’

If they summon them only to have them defeated by us, it would be a waste of power.

‘And… if it’s possible for them to summon beings recorded in the Hero Record…’

Rea clenched her hand.

‘We should be able to do it too.’

At that moment, one person flashed through her mind.

‘Kail…’

Stop-

Rea stopped walking.

As Kail came to mind, someone else’s image naturally surfaced.

‘… Dweno… No, Valhar.’

Valhar’s appearance was shocking to Rea.

‘I thought I knew everything about Valhar.’

It wasn’t just Valhar.

Cardo, Rundo.

She thought she knew her friends perfectly, just as much as they knew her.

The Great Heroes were like family before being comrades more precious than life.

They were precious beings that couldn’t be exchanged for anything.

But the side Valhar showed this time was unfamiliar to Rea.

More precisely…

‘… He’s moving forward.’

Valhar was moving forward.

She could clearly feel that fact this time.

What was complicating Rea’s mind right now wasn’t Erebos or Hero Record.

It was none other than Valhar.

‘… I’ve never thought that what I’ve been doing since being reborn was wrong.’

She had worked hard to find traces of Kail that had vanished from this world.

She had lived to prove that the Hero of the Beginning existed in this world.

She had also struggled to find Kail, who might have been reborn like herself.

But….

‘… I couldn’t find any traces of Kail.’

She could know because she was a spirit summoner.

That’s why Rea immediately recognized them when she first saw Roon, Kar, and Valhar.

That the three were the reincarnations of Luna, Arron, and Dweno.

The soul wavelengths they possessed hadn’t changed at all from 5000 years ago.

That’s why she would have been able to recognize Kail immediately if she met him too.

But…. Kail didn’t exist anywhere.

‘I thought I had to get revenge for Kail.’

Against Tartaros….

And against Erebos, whom we ultimately couldn’t reach 5000 years ago.

If there was no Hero of the Beginning, then she could create a second Hero of the Beginning.

Even if they couldn’t become the Hero of the Beginning, she could give birth to heroes who carried on his will.

With that thought, Rea had shown the path to the Lumern students.

A path that could make the students follow in Kail’s footsteps.

She thought that was what she should do for Kail.

Thud- Thud-

Rea walked silently, looking only at the ground.

‘But…. Was that really the right thing to do….’

Telling her friends not to call each other by their past names anymore.

Saying they should move toward a future without Kail.

Because she was the leader.

Both 5000 years ago and now….

Because she was the leader who guided the Great Heroes.

No one denied that fact.

But….

‘If I go in the wrong direction…. We all go in the wrong direction.’

She had forgotten that fact.

5000 years ago.

She had thought carefully many times.

So as not to lose her way.

But….

‘…Am I really going the right way?’

That thought occurred to her for the first time.

‘No. Was I even moving forward at all?’

Stop-

She stopped walking again.

Whooooo-

Wind blew from behind.

Rea unconsciously turned around.

Five Great Heroes including herself were walking.

In their past forms.

With unwavering eyes.

That vision soon disappeared.

Rea clenched her fist.

Valhar’s will was clear.

Leave behind those who are gone and move forward.

That was the path for those who remained.

‘I know. Kail would have done that. But…. If we forget, Kail will completely disappear.’

She bit her lips tightly.

She clenched her fist with an expression about to cry.

Her fingertips trembled finely.

‘Leaving out only Kail, who would have suffered the most… Only we… are enjoying this peaceful world.’

Rea turned her head to look ahead.

The present, which shone more brilliantly than anyone else, was half-destroyed in a miserable state.

“….”

Looking at the dormitory that had become ruins, Rea made a dumbfounded expression.

Rea, who had opened her mouth wide, grabbed a student passing nearby.

“Che, Chelsea. What happened here?”

“Ah! Sister Rea!”

Chelsea’s eyes widened as she hopped- hopped- avoiding the pile of ruins and stood in front of Rea.

“You’re just getting back?”

“Yeah. More than that… What on earth is this….”

Rea, who made eye contact with Chelsea, hesitated.

‘Huh?’

Rea’s eyes widened slightly.

“Hm? What’s wrong? Sister Rea. Is there something on my face?”

Chelsea widened her eyes and pressed her cheeks with her palms.

Looking at such Chelsea, Rea made a perplexed expression.

‘Was she always like this?’

It was definitely the usual Chelsea.

But the atmosphere was different.

In Rea’s eyes, she could see a light in Chelsea that she hadn’t seen before.

Just then….

“Ahem! Make way! Third-year Knight Academy Number One! Lady Iliana Raden is coming through!”

From far away, Iliana, carrying construction materials on her back, walked with confident steps.

That appearance was definitely different from her usual timid self.

“Oh! My goodness.”

“That girl is the 1st place in third-year Knight Academy….”

“Knight Academy is doomed!”

Sighs poured out from among the third-year Knight Academy students.

“You there! If you’re jealous, let’s have a match!”

Iliana glared and wildly swung her fists in the air.

Then, discovering Rea staring at her intently, she went ‘Huk!’ and stepped backward, tripping over a stone and falling backward with a thud.

‘Iliana too….’

Was different.

It wasn’t the atmosphere, but she seemed to see an invisible light.

‘Just like Valhar.’

As Rea made a troubled expression while thinking of her friend, Elena approached.

“You’re back? Student Council President.”

Instead of her usual gentle atmosphere, she had an irritated and annoyed appearance, so Rea said.

“Senior Elena. Did something happen? Why did it become like this?”

At that question, Elena let out a deep sigh.

“Some suspicious guy attacked the dormitory. Along with these damn brats.”

Elena pinched both of Chelsea’s cheeks.

“Ow! Let me go!”

Chelsea flailed her arms.

And using telekinetic magic, she dragged over Iliana who had fallen backward.

“Ah! Elena-senpai! My skirt is flipping up!”

Iliana, who was being dragged upside down, screamed in horror as she tightly grabbed her skirt hem and struggled.

Thud!

“Ako!”

When the telekinetic magic was released, Iliana crashed to the ground.

At the same time, Chelsea’s cheeks were also released.

Chelsea grabbed her swollen cheeks and made a sulky expression.

“Suspicious guy?”

“Yeah. Oh. And this is a letter from the Seirun Student Council President.”

Elena took out an envelope from her chest and handed it over.

It was a letter sealed with magic so that only Rea could read it.

Rea opened the envelope and checked the contents.

Then she closed her eyes.

“It seems… I’ll have to go right away.”

“Right after arriving?”

“Yes.”

As Rea was folding the envelope, she realized there were two sheets of paper and checked the back page with a puzzled expression.

[Damn cunning fraud lizard.]

‘…Why is she doing this to me again.’

At the words that somehow felt malicious, Rea pressed her temples firmly.

“Where are you going, Rea-unni?”

At Chelsea’s question, Rea replied calmly.

“To the Delian Kingdom, Flobe Marquisate.”
