811.

Whoosh-!

Leo moved at an invisible speed.

Leo’s movement as he kicked off the ground gradually gained more speed.

In a normal case, his opponent would be tense from that overwhelming speed.

‘But what I’m facing right now.’

Crack-!

Leo stepped on the ground even more forcefully.

‘Is not an opponent whose senses can be disrupted by speed.’

No matter how fast he moved, it was impossible to deceive Kar’s transcendent senses.

Even if Leo had trained his transcendent senses, he couldn’t surpass Kar’s transcendent senses.

Nevertheless, the reason Leo pushed his speed to the limit was simple.

‘Power.’

He would build up acceleration to maximize his power.

He put all the strength accumulated in his body into the tip of his sword.

Thwack-!

Leo’s body shot toward Kar like a bullet.

‘Fighting Kar doesn’t require finesse, technique… tricks like that aren’t necessary.’

They wouldn’t work anyway.

The only answer was to purely crush him with power.

Kar stood calmly with his eyes closed even with Leo approaching at tremendous speed right before him.

As if only Kar was in the eye of the storm while a typhoon raged around him, he was serene.

When Leo finally reached right in front of him, Kar’s quietly closed eyes opened.

‘Of course.’

As he swung his sword in front of Kar, Leo gritted his teeth and squeezed out all the strength in his body.

‘The problem is that even that pure power won’t work.’

Kar swung the sword gripped in his hand upward.

Kwaaaaang-!

The clash of gray aura and golden aura.

Valhar, who was watching from afar, let out an exclamation of “Huh.”

Heat waves rose as if the surroundings were distorting.

The distortion of space due to the clash of forces.

“That’s impossible.”

Then Selia, who was standing beside him, made an expression of disbelief.

“How can there be no effect on the surroundings when such powerful forces collided like that?”

Currently, Selia wasn’t the only one here.

Third-year Knight Department top students like Chen Xia, Duran, Iliana, and Nella were watching Leo and Kar’s sparring match.

This was due to Rea’s idea that it would be an opportunity to broaden their experience.

And…

‘Did she say these were kids who wouldn’t be broken even by overwhelming skill?’

Valhar silently looked at the Lumern Knight Academy students.

He could feel that everyone was watching Leo and Kar’s sparring match with concentration.

‘They’re certainly not intimidated or anything.’

“They’re controlling their power.”

“Pardon?”

Valhar said while looking at Leo and Kar.

“They’re putting will into their aura to concentrate their power at one point. They’re trying to use their power purely without any waste.”

“Is that a possible realm?”

When Chen Xia made a perplexed expression, Valhar said.

“It’s possible, which is why they’re having such a fight.”

Valhar looked at Kar.

“What you’re seeing now is someone who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts.”

The pinnacle of martial arts.

It was too arrogant a title to be given to someone who hadn’t yet become an adult.

No, it felt like a title that couldn’t be permitted even to someone who had risen to the position of a hero.

However, those here had seen countless warriors who had risen to the ranks of heroes, as hero candidates… and as children of prestigious families.

Therefore, they couldn’t easily refute Valhar’s mention of the pinnacle.

“If Ajonia’s student council president is at the pinnacle of martial arts…”

Duran opened his mouth heavily.

“What is that man?”

His gaze reached Leo.

At Duran’s question, Valhar chuckled.

“A guy who never gives up and keeps moving forward.”

Kiiiiing-!

Leo furrowed his brow as his sword trembled.

‘The sword can’t hold up.’

Thinking that, Leo pushed even more powerful aura into his sword.

Bang-!

Leo’s sword and Kar’s sword exploded simultaneously.

As he became defenseless for a moment, Leo drew a dagger and swung it at Kar.

However, Kar’s fingertip reaching Leo’s eyes was faster.

A hair’s breadth difference.

But that small difference was significant.

Due to the Suin’s characteristics, his entire body was also a weapon, but even if Kar had been human, Leo would have been subdued.

“As expected, it’s still not enough.”

“No, I was really surprised. You’ve improved your skills to this extent.”

Kar was genuinely impressed.

“If you used magic or summoning, it would be really scary.”

He still couldn’t defeat Kar with purely aura techniques alone.

Leo and Kar approached Valhar while having a conversation.

“Your technique for handling flames has also improved a lot… you haven’t just been playing around.”

Valhar said calmly.

Before sparring with Kar, Leo had shown Valhar the flames of Dweno that he had inherited.

This too wasn’t just an imitation of Dweno, but Leo’s own interpretation.

Leo’s way of handling flames gave Valhar quite fresh inspiration as well.

Not just Valhar.

Just as Leo received evaluations of his inherited power from Kar and Valhar and found direction for development.

Kar and Valhar were also being influenced by the new interpretation.

While the Great Heroes were having a conversation, the Knight Department students each fell into contemplation, recalling the sparring match from earlier.

“…”

Selia stared intently at Leo.

Iliana approached her.

“What are you staring at like that?”

“It’s nothing. Just…”

“Just?”

“It’s familiar.”

As Selia spoke while recalling the flame aura Leo had handled, Iliana’s eyes widened.

“Did you perhaps fall for him?”

“It’s not like that?”

“Hmm. I was interested in Leo too. But Selia, who had zero interest in men, is interested in a man! How intriguing!”

“It’s not like that.”

“Leo! Selia here says she’s fallen for you!”

“I said it’s not like that!”

“Gack gack gack! Ha, I surrender! I surrender!”

“Surrender! You already said something weird!”

Selia strangled Iliana’s neck with a bright red face.

Valhar grinned slyly while watching Selia.

“Must be nice being so popular.”

“Popular my ass.”

Kar’s eyes sparkled as he giggled.

Thinking this was a golden opportunity to tease Leo, his eyes were rarely filled with mischief.

“We’re all in teenage bodies now, so it doesn’t really matter, right?”

Seeing Kar smile somewhat wickedly, Leo said to Valhar.

“Hey, I can’t get used to him being like this.”

“Isn’t it all because of you?”

“What did I do?”

“You corrupted this innocent friend like this.”

“How is that my fault? It’s Luna’s fault.”

“Hmm… Is that so? Anyway, Rea was lamenting. She said Kar became weird.”

“Tsk.”

Chen Xia, who had been listening to the three’s conversation from afar, spoke up.

“It might be a bit strange to say this, but…”

“Hm?”

Selia, who had been punishing Iliana for a while, made a puzzled expression.

“Those three aren’t that different from us.”

“What do you mean?”

“Hmm… How should I put it?”

Chen Xia, who had been pondering with her index finger on her chin, spoke.

“Should I say they’re human-like?”

“Well, they are human. What else would they be if not human?”

At Duran’s words, Chen Xia shrugged her shoulders.

“How should I put it. Rea too, sometimes she’s so perfect she doesn’t seem human. Those people are also too perfect in their respective fields. So I thought they were like heroes from legends.”

“From legends?”

“Yes. The Great Heroes.”

“…”

That was certainly true.

Valhar was the Divine Blacksmith.

Kar was the Hero.

Roon was the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

They wouldn’t be out of place being called their reincarnations.

“But seeing them like that makes me think they’re people just like us. The Great Heroes must have been the same way.”

Chen Xia smiled brightly.

That evening.

The Lumern students whose daily routine had ended enjoyed their sweet after-school activities.

Rea, who remained alone in the Tower of Heroes student council room watching that scene, sat at her office desk.

On the desk was an enormous amount of documents about all the Lumern students.

‘To help the children grow more, a comprehensive review is necessary.’

Rea, who acknowledged that she had shown them the wrong path, reviewed the growth direction of the hero candidates through repeated contemplation.

It was a task close to impossible to do alone due to the terrifying workload.

But Rea’s knowledge and insight were making that impossibility possible.

When Rea was about to look at the next document.

Creak-

The door opened.

Rea made a sullen expression upon discovering Leo holding mugs in both hands.

“What? You didn’t show your face for a whole week?”

“Shouldn’t you be happy to see me then?”

Leo shrugged his shoulders then approached Rea and set down the mug.

Then he sat on the desk and picked up one of the documents Rea had been looking at.

“This is about Selia?”

Leo, who was flipping through it, clicked his tongue.

“It’s certainly impressive.”

“What is?”

“It matches perfectly with the growth direction I had in mind for our side’s Selia.”

“Our side…”

Rea smiled bitterly.

“You… you’re thinking of going back, aren’t you?”

Leo didn’t answer that question and sipped his coffee.

“Yeah. That’s right. Because the worlds have been divided.”

“Even if you go back, the fact that I was Kail and you were Risinass, Luna, Arron, and Dweno doesn’t change.”

Leo said calmly.

“It’s just… the directions we need to go have been divided.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

Rea smiled brightly.

“If you do go back, make sure to defeat Erebos on that side. We’ll definitely defeat Erebos on this side too.”

Rea, who said that, leaned back deeply in her chair and grinned.

“Want to make a bet? On who defeats them first?”

“It’s 4 against 1. I think I’d be at an overwhelming disadvantage.”

“Oh my? Don’t you have confidence?”

Rea, who rested her chin on her hand, giggled.

“Risinass.”

“I’m Rea now.”

“I can’t get used to that name Rea. There happens to be a kid with the exact same name as you one year below at Seirun.”

“You mean Rea Tingel? Roon often teases me because of her.”

“I bet he teases you childishly.”

“Right.”

Rea, who grumbled lightly, stared up at Leo intently.

Leo, who had been sitting on the desk looking at the scenery outside, made a puzzled expression.

“What?”

“Leo. At the final moment… what did you feel?”

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“I suddenly became curious. You know our final moments, but we don’t know yours.”

“…”

Even now, it’s unforgettable.

No, even now it’s so vivid that he still dreams about those events.

Every single moment of his friends dying was burned into his mind.

‘They apologized, felt frustrated… and… gave me their trust.’

This memory probably won’t be forgotten until the day his second life ends.

“How should I put it? There was a sense of relief about keeping our promise?”

He had accomplished a feat close to impossible.

Even though the Hero of the Beginning was Erebos’s natural enemy and had inherited all the power of the Great Heroes.

The final battle was a fight where victory was impossible.

Yet Kail ultimately achieved victory.

Rea was incredibly proud of such Leo.

It wasn’t just Rea.

All the other Great Heroes were proud of their friend who was the savior of the world.

They felt more grateful than anyone to Kail who had answered their faith.

“To be honest….”

“Yeah.”

“I despaired.”

“Huh?”

Rea made a slightly flustered expression at the unexpected answer.

Leo looked at such Rea with a bitter face.

Honestly, he didn’t want to tell her.

But he needed to be honest in front of Rea.

“In the end, I couldn’t finish it and left future troubles for later generations.”

“But that was….”

“Right. Even that was a miracle at the time. And it would have been fine to have faith in future generations. Just like you all had faith in me.”

“….”

“But…. I couldn’t do that well. So I despaired. Even until the moment I died.”

“….”

“I’m fortunate to have gotten a second chance. This time I can truly finish it.”

“The burden we passed on to you is still tormenting you.”

Rea bit her lips tightly.

Seeing such Rea, Leo waved his hands.

“Not at all.”

“Huh?”

Rea made a bewildered expression.

“At first it was because of you all.”

Leo chuckled.

“But not now.”

Leo silently looked up at the night sky.

“It seems you’ve found a reason to move forward.”

“Yeah.”

“I hope you achieve it.”

“I will achieve it. It’s not particularly grand or anything.”

Leo looked up outside the window.

Rea, who had been watching such Leo, cleared her throat.

“Ahem! So? What are you doing tonight?”

“I’m going to review parallel world theory.”

“I’ll help you.”

“You will?”

“Yeah. So.”

Rea, resting her chin on her hand, looked up at Leo and smiled sweetly.

“In a little while, won’t you come to my room?”

“When you smile like that, it’s bad for my heart?”

“Hehe.”

“Are you being serious?”

“Did you think only Roon would be aggressive?”

“Still, to this extent….”

Bang-!

Before the words could even finish, the Student Council President’s office door opened roughly.

The one who opened the door and entered was none other than Roon.

Outside the door, Kar and Valhar were looking this way with excited faces.

Roon, who approached right in front with an expressionless face, raised her eyes.

“Isn’t this completely a lewd dragon?!”

“Sigh. Why do you have to come now of all times?”

Rea openly made an annoyed expression.

When Leo tried to slowly distance himself from the two people, not wanting to get involved for no reason.

“Leo.”

Kar approached Leo’s side.

“How many children are you going to have?”

Roon shouted with a reddened face.

“What do you mean having children!”

At such Roon’s words, Kar tilted her head.

“Why? It seems like a pretty child resembling Rea and Leo would be born.”

“Hehe. Kar knows something.”

“What do you mean she knows!”

Roon got angry.

“You! This damn beast! You’ve been pretending to be innocent all this time, right? Huh?”

Grabbing Kar’s collar, Roon shook her vigorously.

Leo, who escaped from the Student Council room that was becoming chaotic, said seriously.

“Old man. Don’t call me an idiot or clueless anymore.”

“Those are words that suit you perfectly, but seeing Kar, I can’t bring myself to do so. I don’t know if that one is stupid or innocent.”

Valhar shook his head.

“Ugh! I cherished you like a younger sister and you backstab me like this? Right! You support Rea and Leo, is that it? Fine! From today, you and I are enemies.”

“Huh? I’m not particularly supporting only Leo and Rea though?”

Kar tilted her head.

“Wouldn’t it be fine if Roon also had children with Leo? The babies born between you two would also be pretty, right?”

“What?”

“You know I like babies, right? I hope you two have lots of Leo’s children!”

Seeing Kar smiling brightly with an innocent face, Rea and Roon gaped.

Leo, who was watching that scene, muttered blankly.

“To be able to say such things calmly while smiling. She’s really a hero.”

“At that level, it seems like something beyond courage?”

Valhar burst into a hollow laugh.

Rea pressed her temples firmly and asked Kar.

“So you’re saying Roon, me, and Leo should all live together?”

“Yeah! Is there a problem? Everyone did that 5000 years ago, right? If hearts matched, it was common for everyone to live like that, right?”

“That’s true, but that’s a story from 5000 years ago. It couldn’t be helped then, but by today’s standards, it’s a bit….”

Since no one knew when the world might end, there was a strong tendency not to leave regrets in relationships between men and women.

As a result, it didn’t match the common sense of the current era.

“But we’re people from 5000 years ago.”

When Kar spoke as if it was no big deal, Rea furrowed her brow.

“That’s true but…. Ah…. Really. I have a headache.”

Rea gave up thinking deeply.

Roon’s anger also subsided at Kar’s sudden bombshell statement.

Then.

Crackle-

Suddenly, the sound of something freezing began to be heard right behind Leo’s back.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward that place.

What was created there was none other than an Ice Mirror.

At that moment.

Suddenly-!

A hand burst out from the mirror.

Grab-

The hand seized Leo’s hand.

But it was only for a moment.

The hand that emerged from the Ice Mirror soon grew faint and disappeared along with the mirror.

Leo, who had been staring at the place where the mirror disappeared, turned his head.

Roon and Kar were each holding onto Leo’s arm and leg respectively.

Looking at the two who had anxious eyes, Leo gazed at Rea.

Rea’s eyes were also trembling.

Leo finally looked at Valhar.

At that, Valhar muttered bitterly.

“It seems the permitted time isn’t very long.”
