Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 141

“Sergia. Straighten your back nicely.”
“yes.”
“Smile a little more kindly.”
“…yes.”
“Your voice is shaking. “Has something bad happened?”
‘Bad thing? There are a lot of bad things.’
Sergia calmed her trembling mouth.
‘Because I have someone who instills this shitty manners!’
Sergia shouted to herself as she entered the locker room.
For Sergia or Runia this moment was a very terrible time.
Dozens of maids were working just for her.
He kept bringing fancy dresses and made Runia wear them.
They were all clothes that looked so expensive that people burst out in admiration.
Although Runia has a bold personality she is a girl of an age where she likes to dress up.
There was no way I wouldn’t be interested in pretty clothes and beautiful accessories.
‘But there is such a thing as a certain degree!’
It’s already been several hours since I entered the hero dungeon.
When I first became aware of my situation I was nervous and accepted the situation in front of me to gather information.
I didn’t do anything to get caught in the slightest.
Although Runia finds elf etiquette frustrating she has lived as the successor to a famous family of heroes since she was young.
Recently as Seilun’s class representative he has been acting as an honor student who always goes wherever he goes.
Being frustrated and not doing well are two different things.
Therefore Runia had considerable confidence in elven manners.
But this went too far.
‘If you take a deep breath you’ll make a fuss with it! If you blink you will be criticized for blinking! If you don’t smile damn you if you don’t smile! no! You need to give yourself some time to catch your breath! They’re even preparing now!’

Runia was on the verge of becoming neurotic due to the endless etiquette lessons from the man in front of her.
Even though I was preparing for a party I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
How much more care do you have to take when going to a party?
‘It might turn around.’
Even Seirun’s etiquette teachers who are known for being strict are at the level of cuteness compared to this man.
‘Let’s calm down. Calm down. First we need to understand the situation.’
Runia stood in front of the mirror and saw the face of a woman named Sergia who had been possessed by her.
Blue hair reminiscent of water and large lake-colored eyes.
It was a girl around Runia’s age.
Runia who was staring at herself in front of the mirror smiled.
‘I don’t have princess disease… but I can be sure of this. ‘I’m prettier.’
Runia thought she was prettier than this girl.
‘Besides I have a kind heart.’
If Leo had heard he would have asked if he had ground his heart finely but unfortunately Leo was not here.
‘Anyway what era is it now and what is this person’s status?’
In a limited space Runia tried to gather as much information as possible.
But among the dozens of maids not one spoke to her in a friendly way.
Let alone talking to her whenever she made eye contact with Runia she was so shocked that she turned her head away.
It seemed as if he was very afraid of Sergia.
Luria was very displeased with that fact.
‘No matter how old it is the maids’ reaction is extraordinary.’
Even in this day and age there are many authoritative families and we have seen so many idiots in Seirun who think they are chosen.
But there is no one who terrifies their fellow countrymen to this extent.
Excessive authority is a flaw in elven society.
I think that building walls of social status is something only shallow people do.
Runia is no different.
But now it felt like our status was clearly divided.
At every hand gesture the maids were shocked and closed their eyes.
It looks as if he is afraid of being stabbed.
It was easy to guess how hysterical and vicious this girl who came in was on a regular basis.
‘She seems to be a woman whose personality has faded. ‘How old-fashioned is this era?’
I may not know but I do know that it is a past that cannot be imagined.
‘But I can’t ask what era it is.’
If you say something strange and arouse suspicion your dungeon strategy may be ruined.
Now I had no choice but to be careful about my every move.
Sigh-
Runia opened the locker room curtain and went out to stand in front of the only man she could talk to at the moment.

The man glanced at Runia and narrowed his eyebrows.
“I guess this would be best.”
He pointed to a dress.
“It’s the clothes I wore earlier.”
That was the first thing Runia wore after entering the hero dungeon.
“yes. No matter how I look at it I think it suits me best.”
Tendons rose on Runia’s forehead.
‘Then why did you put me through so much trouble!’
Resisting the urge to pounce Runia changed her dress in the dressing room again.
Runia came out of the dressing room and was adjusting her accessories and makeup to match her dress.
dripping-
“Come in.”
“Lord Ether.”
“What’s going on?”
“There’s a small problem…”
“What problem is happening?”
The man who entered the room looked like a knight.
Runia pricked up her ears at the conversation between the two.
Ether glanced at Runia and walked out of the room with a gesture of her chin.
‘Hmm. It seems like a secret story.’
Click-
The visit was closed.
Here is your chance to get information.
Even if it was a small thing Runia didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
Upright-
He pricked his pointed ears and improved his hearing.
“There has been an intruder in the dungeon.”
“intruder?”
“yes. “The person who harmed Sergia’s fiancé in today’s class escaped from prison.”
“What?”
‘Hehe! I can hear everything! ‘These.’
Runia made a meaningful expression in her mind.
Even if an elf had excellent hearing an untrained person would not have heard that sound.
But Runia a hero cadet was different.
Although I cannot handle Aurors I have been training hard to sharpen my senses using magical power.
‘If you don’t practice like this you won’t be able to catch up with him.’
Thinking of Leo Runia continued to concentrate on eavesdropping on the conversation.
‘Seeing as she’s having a defenseless conversation like that it looks like she doesn’t have great mana skills. I should refrain from using magic or spirits in front of others. And he has a fiancé…’
Runia was quick to think getting clues from even the smallest things.
“It’s over there.”
“Yes yes!”
As I spoke the face of the maid who was putting makeup on Runia’s cheeks turned white.
“I’m sorry! “Please forgive me!”
Runia looked up at the ceiling and lamented as she saw the maid kneeling and begging for forgiveness.
‘How on earth has this kid lived a crappy life?’
How can you make such a fuss and apologize just by barely calling me?
“I didn’t do anything wrong. So there is nothing to apologize for. “I just want to ask because I’m curious.”
“Yes yes!”
“Is my fiancé okay? “I heard you were hurt.”
The maid answered unable to shake off her fear yet.
“Yes… I heard that Mr. Hyrkian suffered serious injuries in an unexpected accident during class today. But you said you can attend His Highness’s birthday party so you don’t have to worry.”
“majesty?”
“yes.”
Runia’s face changed strangely at the unfamiliar word.
Suddenly-
Meanwhile Ether entered the room again.
He had the same expressionless expression as before and bowed his head as he looked at Runia who had finished preparing.
“You are so beautiful that you are worthy of being called a princess Sergia.”
‘princess? ‘A princess?’
Runia also knows that there was a time when elves had the status of princess.
The problem is that it was 5000 years ago. That was before the era of disaster.
‘for a moment! A princess? So this is from 5000 years ago?’
“Let’s go see His Highness before going to the party. “Sergia.”
Ether bowed her head and escorted Runia away.
Even as she was being escorted Runia’s mind was spinning furiously.
‘If this is the world before the Age of Calamity… then the world we entered is one of three.’
Among the heroes recorded in the Hero Records only three are officially known to have lived before the era of disaster.
Lysinas the king of wisdom.
Dweno the blacksmith of God.
and Luna the progenitor of the nebula.
‘No matter how you look at the current world it is a world related to elves! in other words! If it was before the era of disaster this would be Luna’s world!’
The memory of meeting Luna the other day came to mind.
The progenitor of Nebula whom we met for a split second after defeating the Skeleton King.
The image of the great founder was different from the image he had imagined but he was more beautiful than anyone else and had an eye-catching charm.
At that time we couldn’t even have a proper conversation.
‘iced coffee! I might be able to talk to my founder here!’
Runia’s eyes sparkled.
Talk to the ancestors!
How dream-like is this word?
‘Talk about magic with Luna! Get advice on magic from Luna! Received praise from Luna! That means it can happen! Please this is Luna’s world!’
Runia felt something shaking.
However on the outside he kept the etiquette perfectly.
While walking down the hallway Runia arrived in front of a huge door with a wooden picture carved on it.
There were knights standing there who even at first glance had incredible skills.
The knights bowed to Runia and then opened the huge door.
Squeak-!
At that moment an abyss-like darkness appeared beyond the door.
Pitch-black darkness where you can’t see at all.
When Runia saw that she felt her face harden.
‘What… is this?’
I quickly regained my composure.
Meanwhile the darkness disappeared and the scene of the throne room unfolded before my eyes.
‘Did I see it wrong?’
I thought I had seen something wrong.
But Runia swallowed her dry saliva.
Instinct was speaking.
Be prepared in your heart.
Runia took a deep breath.
“Sergia.”
Ether gave a scolding look.
Just now Runia would have been annoyed but she didn’t even have time to be that way now.
Runia ignoring the ether carefully stepped into the throne room.
moment….
I felt goosebumps growing all over my body.
I quickly calmed my trembling body.
And I pretended to be calm.
But my heart was screaming.
‘This place… what on earth is this place!’
I want to run away from here quickly.
I was out of breath and broke into a cold sweat.
But it was only Runia who felt the pressure.
“Welcome my daughter princess.”
A benevolent voice was heard from a high throne.
“Happy birthday.”
Runia raised her head and saw Ergen the Elf King holding back her words and acting like a princess of high status.
He smiled brightly and prettyly.
And then Runia couldn’t help but watch.
I also understood why I felt primal fear in this space.
The spacious throne room was the inside of a huge old tree.
Runia didn’t know it but this was the very center of the high elf city of Barharrun.
Inside the World Tree in Varharun.
A sacred place that is only open when the Elf King visits Barharrun.
The inside of the World Tree called the treasure of the elves was literally vast.
It is to be used as the throne room of the elf king.
There was a huge empty space behind the elf king’s throne.
At least everyone here perceived it as an empty space.
Runia looked at what was behind Ergen and put so much force into her fingernails that they dug into her palms.
It was clear that if I didn’t do this my hands would start shaking like a tree.
‘…that… what on earth…’
Sleeping in the empty space was a deformed monster that Runia had never seen before.
A monster that should never be seen by the inhabitants of this false world.
A monster that can only be seen through the eyes of the real Runia.
I wasn’t worried about screaming.
It was difficult to even breathe let alone scream.
I barely managed to hide my rapid breathing.
And I was thankful that the monster in front of me was in a deep sleep.
‘Is it a monster from Tartarus?’
The monster brought fear just by its presence.
A monster whose entire body is covered in black flames that seem as if they will set everything on fire at any moment.
As Runia thought about that something passed through her mind.
Suddenly I remembered the contents of a children’s book that I had loved so much since I was young.
A children’s book that made Runia yearn for a hero…a great progenitor.
There was a bad villain in that children’s book.
‘The evil primordial evil cried out to the great heroes. ‘Kaaang-! ‘I’ll catch and eat you all!’
‘It’s corny! ‘It’s corny!’
Why? What suddenly reminded you of the storybook your mother used to humorously read?
Why on earth did it remind me of my younger self booing at the incarnation of evil?
‘The great heroes will take it down anyway!’
Maybe a flashlight?
Or is it because he knows that there is no longer a great hero who can defeat the primordial evil?
The reason doesn’t matter.
Anyway Runia realized what this monster in front of her was.
‘It’s so… the same as the storybook.’
Runia closed her eyes tightly.
‘Erebos.’
