810.

Flash—

The Warp Gate emitted a bright light.

Along with it, several people emerged from the Warp Gate.

Kalian, the headmaster of Lumern who had been tending to trees in gardener’s attire in the garden around the Warp Gate, widened his eyes at the sight.

“Finally, you’ve come!”

He jumped up and threw off his wide-brimmed straw hat.

“Student Rea! I’ve been waiting!”

Seeing Kalian greet her as warmly as a grandfather seeing his grandchild after a long time, Rea pressed her temple firmly.

“Headmaster. Isn’t it work hours right now…?”

“It’s fine! Don’t we have very, very capable faculty at our Lumern? They’re handling the work in place of this old man!”

“Professor Hallind and Professor Sedjen… and Professor Riina must be busy managing the students.”

“They’re friends I’ve been watching since I was a student! Very, very capable! They’re not the type to bat an eye at that level of overwork!”

“If you did your work, Headmaster, they wouldn’t have to suffer from overwork!”

“Oh my? Isn’t this all because of Student Rea?!”

“Why am I suddenly involved?”

“Student Rea was so capable that you took away even my work, didn’t you? I’ve become too accustomed to a life without work. Recently, even my eyesight has been getting dim.”

As Rea sighed deeply while looking at the complaining Kalian, she spotted someone approaching from afar.

“It’s Professor Hallind.”

“Tch. Persistent fellow.”

Kalian clicked his tongue and tried to flee.

But Rea used magic to grab Kalian’s ankle.

“Attacking an elderly person! The Student Rea I know isn’t such a delinquent who would do such outrageous things!”

As Kalian widened his eyes in protest.

Thud—

“Headmaster. It’s work hours.”

“Hallind! Let go! I need to give Student Rea a little lecture…!”

“Work comes before lectures. Ain, Ren.”

Click— Click—

At Hallind’s call, his loyal subordinate professors Ain and Ren grabbed Kalian’s arms.

“We’ll escort you to the headmaster’s office.”

“Making an old man work so hard! Don’t you think you’ll age too!”

Kalian’s desperate cry echoed, but Ain and Ren didn’t listen.

Hallind glanced at Rea.

“You’ve returned, I see.”

“Yes. Professor Hallind.”

Hallind’s gaze, which had been watching Rea nod, turned to the others.

‘The student council presidents from other Hero Academies who interact with Rea. And…’

Hallind’s final gaze reached Leo.

Hallind approached Leo.

When Leo made a puzzled expression, Hallind spoke.

“Your name?”

“It’s Leo.”

“Leo…”

Hallind also knew that the boy before his eyes was the culprit behind this Lumern commotion.

After looking at Leo for a moment, Hallind spoke.

“Have you ever thought about teaching at Lumern?”

Leo’s eyes widened at the sudden scouting offer.

But he soon smiled.

“I don’t think it’s time for me to teach others yet.”

“Looking at Chelsea Rwallin and Iliana Raden, it doesn’t seem that way though.”

“I just showed them the path a little.”

“That’s also excellent education.”

“This person would be more suitable as an educator than me.”

Leo smiled and grabbed Rea’s shoulders, pulling her in front of him.

Rea’s eyes widened as she looked back.

“Well.”

Hallind spoke indifferently.

“She could become an excellent leader, but as an educator, she seems a bit lacking compared to you.”

“Hmm? I was also greatly influenced by this person though.”

“Showing and leading the way is strictly different from teaching the path and pushing from behind.”

Having said that much, Hallind turned around without hesitation.

“Let me know if you’re interested.”

Leaving those words, Hallind departed following Kalian.

“Were you even doing the headmaster’s work?”

“Yeah, it seemed more efficient that way. When I’m busy or absent, Headmaster Kalian handles the work again… but he’s been talking about retirement lately.”

“That’s understandable.”

“Hey. How long are you going to keep holding on?”

Then Roon, who had squeezed between the two, slapped the back of Leo’s hands that were gripping Rea’s shoulders.

“By the way, I’ve been thinking this for a while. That man Hallind is quite sharp.”

Valhar said while stroking his chin.

“His eye for seeing through the essence is accurate.”

“Well, Professor Hallind has that side to him.”

Leo nodded.

“Does the Headmaster Kalian in your world also shirk work and run around like this?”

At Rea’s question, Leo smiled bitterly.

“The Headmaster Kalian in our world exhausted his strength blocking the Monster Queen alone and closed his eyes.”

“Ah…”

“It was a magnificent end befitting someone who shouldered an era.”

Rea fell silent without a word.

Seeing such Rea, Roon spoke.

“Now, Rea. You should go to the students now, right? You have a lot to clean up.”

Seeing Roon pushing her back, Rea narrowed her eyes.

“You seem eager to send me away quickly?”

“No way? Leo caused quite a ruckus so there’s a lot to clean up… and you need to show each of the children their own paths.”

“That’s right. I’ll be very busy.”

“So hurry…”

“Is only Rea busy?”

“Ow ow ow ow ow! What are you doing!”

Leo grabbed Roon’s ear and pulled.

When Roon widened her eyes in protest, Leo pushed Roon toward the Warp Gate.

“You also have things to clean up in Seirun. Like the Pureblood Society. And the descendants you couldn’t properly care for.”

At those words, Roon hesitated.

“In a way, among you four, you were the most idle.”

“Ugh.”

Roon made a stung expression and drooped her ears.

“…That’s right. How pathetic.”

Rea had emphasized Kail-like qualities to the students.

Kar had tried to teach the Ajonia students many things, even if his explanations were too self-centered.

Unlike Valhar, who had fully passed on his skills, Roon was the Great Hero who had made the least progress.

“I… might be disqualified as the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.”

Looking at Roon hanging her head with a gloomy expression, Leo said.

“You just need to do well from now on.”

“Huh?”

“You’re a genius, aren’t you? If you put your mind to it, you’ll get tons of inspiration just from looking at the Seirun kids, right?”

At those words, Roon’s drooping ears gradually perked up and soon began twitching restlessly.

And she crossed her arms and huffed out a breath.

“That’s right! The greatest genius in magical history! Because I’m Lady Luna!”

Roon, who had become arrogant from Leo’s single compliment, ran toward the warp gate.

“I’ll finish quickly and come back! Wait for me! Leo!”

Watching Roon return to Seirun with a bright smile, Valhar shook his head.

“Soon, elven society everywhere will become a battlefield.”

The Pureblood Society is secretly connected with Tartaros.

Until now, the unmotivated Roon hadn’t judged elven society to be that rotten, but now the story is different.

“She’ll sweep them away in an instant.”

Roon has quick thinking and decisiveness.

And she even has the power to act.

If she hadn’t seen it, it might be different.

The moment she found a clue through Leo, cleaning up the Pureblood Society would literally be instantaneous.

‘Even though she seems reckless, her judgment in the field is accurate.’

“Rea. You should also look after the kids.”

“Yeah. Leo, you’ll be staying in Lumern as a guest for a while, right?”

“I will. There’s also something I want to ask of you all.”

“A request?”

Kar tilted his head curiously.

“Yeah.”

Leo clenched and unclenched his palm.

“I want to confirm how well I’m utilizing the abilities I inherited from you all… and whether I can develop them further.”

***

A small training ground attached to the front of the dormitory building provided to guests of Lumern.

Leo, Kar, and Valhar were having a conversation.

“You emitted killing intent while fighting?”

Leo looked at Kar with surprised eyes.

“That’s right. At that time, Kar was definitely emitting killing intent toward that evil god called Nix.”

“That cowardly fellow actually had such thoughts.”

During the Age of Calamity.

Kar had overwhelming martial prowess, but his timid and kind nature prevented him from truly harboring murderous intent toward opponents.

Kar could only fight with all his heart and strength when his companions were in danger.

For such a gentle Kar to emit killing intent was unbelievable to Leo.

“You made a big resolution.”

At Leo’s words, Kar clenched his fist.

“…I felt to the bone how much I relied on you all in my previous life.”

“Hmm. You’ve learned to think about such things too. Not bad?”

“Yeah. In my previous life, I didn’t take any responsibility.”

“Huh?”

“Rea took responsibility for the world, and Roon always worked hard to make Gardstron prosperous with magical technology. Kail… Leo, you single-handedly dealt with the world’s darkness, and Valhar was the reliable advisor who supported us.”

“That’s right.”

“Compared to that… I received consideration just because I was young.”

“…”

“You all told me I was the bravest in the world, but… I could only be brave because you were there.”

Kar widened his eyes with a serious expression.

“I’ve decided to become someone who can be brave even alone now.”

“…You’ve made a wonderful resolution. Kar.”

“Hehe.”

When Valhar smiled gently, Kar laughed shyly and scratched his head.

Watching that scene, Leo chuckled.

“You’ve also decided to move forward.”

“Yeah.”

“But there’s something I need to correct.”

“Huh?”

“You weren’t particularly receiving consideration, nor did you fail to take responsibility.”

“Huh? No, Leo. If you’re trying to comfort me, it’s okay.”

“So I’m not trying to comfort you. I’m telling you the facts…”

Thud-!

“Gack?!”

Valhar wrapped his thick forearm around Leo’s neck from behind.

Leo, whose breath was cut off by Valhar’s overwhelming strength, tapped Valhar’s forearm.

“Kar. Go to Rea for a moment.”

“Huh? Why suddenly to Rea?”

“Tell Rea the story you just told us. She’ll be the happiest to hear it.”

“Ah, okay!”

Kar nodded innocently with a smile and ran off.

When Kar disappeared into the distance, Valhar released Leo.

“Gasp! Gasp! What the hell are you doing, you damn old man?”

Valhar kicked Leo in the back as he rubbed his neck in protest.

“Why would you discourage Kar? What are you trying to accomplish by telling him the facts?”

“Why? It’s true that we didn’t give him anything to do back then because it wouldn’t have helped anyway! He should know what he needs to know by now!”

“Shut up! You should just purely celebrate Kar’s growth!”

“That’s what I’m saying. He’ll grow more if he knows what he needs to know, right?”

“Hallind’s eye was wrong! You’re the worst as an educator!”

Meanwhile.

“…You made a big resolution. Kar… But what’s with that smile?”

“Huh? I tried copying Leo? How is it? Cool, right? Roon taught me!”

‘I hoped this one wouldn’t get influenced.’

In the end, Kar had been influenced by the idiots.

At that smile that clearly reminded her of someone, Rea felt unsure whether she should cry or laugh.

***

Erebos, in Kail’s form, looked up at the sky.

He could dye that blue sky with the dark red color of death right now if he wanted.

But Erebos didn’t do so.

Even though he had devoured the fragment held by his subordinate Overlord King and the resurrected Nix to become half of his true self.

‘It’s not time yet.’

Erebos narrowed his eyes.

‘If a surviving Hero from another dimension came here… there must be an entrance.’

Through that entrance, he would cross over to a world where no Great Hero exists.

‘And I’ll turn that place to ash and devour my fragment that exists there.’

After that.

‘I’ll return here and turn both worlds to ash.’

If that happens.

‘You can never stop me, surviving Hero.’
