Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 253



253

“Push it!”

“Attack!”

Numerous first years rushed towards Leo.

There was no hesitation in their movements.

It was clearly different from the entrance exam.

During the entrance exam I felt the pressure of being rejected the moment I was defeated by Leo.

But not now.

The entire first year actively attempted to attack Leo.

And they all had the same thought in their heads.

‘If you push yourself like this even the world’s best Leo Plov will get tired quickly! If that happens there’s a chance!’

The entire first year was waiting for the moment when Leo would get tired.

“Pick~ Pick~ Who will be Leo’s mentee! “This is the current dividend status!”

Carl quickly showed me the board with the dividends checked.

“Hoo? “I’ll bet on Aina Beidna.”

“yep! “Senior!”

As the commotion began first-year students seeking Leo’s mentee position heard the news and flocked to the Magic Department building.

It was a very fun sight to see so not only the 2nd graders but also the 3rd and 4th graders excluding the 5th graders who were away from school due to missions after hearing the rumor came to see it.

“What do you think will happen?”

Meanwhile Abad who was watching the situation from afar asked.

“What happens?”

Duran who came to see the news snorted.

“There is no way the current freshmen can give Leo Plov a good hit. Especially when it’s in such a state of confusion.”

“but.”

Abad nodded.

“Leoplov never gets tired. Additionally if guerrillas become possible… first-year students will self-destruct.”

It was as he said.

Leo leisurely dodged or blocked the first-years’ attacks and dug in among the first-years.

Every time that happened the first graders attacked each other.

In a sense some people did it on purpose to reduce competition.

“The current first year students cannot yet be called true hero candidates.”

The freshman year was the time when my skills improved the most during my time at Lumerun.

In the meantime unexpected talents are discovered or students who scored low on the entrance exam often rise to the top.

It was virtually impossible for such inexperienced freshmen to hit Leo effectively.

“Rather you’ll have a better chance of winning if it’s 1:1.”

It was just as Duran said.

The attacker is more distracted now.

This meant that Leo’s movements could not be observed in detail.

Woe!

Leo flew into the air.

“I was waiting!”

Sasha riding a flying phantom flew quickly.

Leo who saw that laughed and used fly magic.

Shuaang-!

“omg!”

Sasha was surprised by the incredible mobility and speed.

“Is it possible to move like that with fly magic?”

The first graders opened their mouths.

“I haven’t gotten used to Rumern’s common sense yet.”

“Well because I’m a freshman.”

The older students looked at the first graders in shock as if they thought they were cute.

The first graders’ attacks also bounced off the onlookers.

Of course there were no older students who would suffer from such an attack.

In the end no first-year student successfully attacked Leo until the end of lunch period.

The preliminary bell rang to signal class.

“Huh! “Huh!”

“I can’t move anymore… Ugh!”

“Hehe! Kehehe!”

The first-year students who fell to the floor suffered from mana depletion and stamina depletion.

The older students who saw that laughed and dispersed.

“Ah it was fun.”

“This year there have been many interesting events since the beginning of the semester.”

The 3rd and 4th graders returned to the classroom giggling.

The second graders looked at the first graders with pity on their faces and then returned to the classroom.

Leo asked looking at the exhausted first graders sprawled out on the floor.

“Isn’t your next class a joint hero studies class led by Professor Artian?”

“yes.”

“That’s right senior.”

“Then we better go quickly?”

Leo said while looking at the clock tower in the Department of Magic building.

“If you’re late for class as a group you’ll be in big trouble so hurry up and go.”

“But you can’t even move?”

“Professor Artian is kind so wouldn’t you mind seeing him even if it’s a little late?”

There were groans among the first graders.

The second graders who heard those words stopped.

“I guess they still don’t know Professor Artian’s true identity.”

The teacher who led the second graders at last year’s entrance ceremony was Artian.

And on the first day I experienced the fear of Artian.

That’s why I couldn’t move in front of her from the first class.

However the first graders did not seem to know much about Artian yet.

Same as Halind.

No in a sense Artian shows more fear than Halind.

The second graders thought to themselves at the same time.

‘He’s dead.’

***

That evening.

Leo who was resting at Glory Dormitory went outside to meet the first-year students who came to visit him.

It was five knights students who came to visit Leo.

“Hello Master Leo. “I’m so distracted that I’m finally saying hello to you now.”

Among them Martina the representative smiled and greeted me.

It was none other than Leo’s order the Slayer Knights.

“okay. By the way you guys didn’t attack me at lunch right?”

Leo smiled and looked at his knights.

The knights trembled at that question.

“I guess you don’t want to be my mentee?”

In response to Leo’s question Julan and Karin urgently waved their hands.

“That’s not it.”

“When I entered school Master Leo helped me a lot with many things! “I did it because I couldn’t get help even after enrolling!”

“yes! “We want to do it in Lumern with our own strength!”

Martina Austin Valery quickly nodded and agreed to Julan and Karin’s words.

It actually did.

The five received special training from Leo before the entrance exam and quickly improved their skills.

It is also true that thanks to that I was able to pass the Lumern entrance exam.

But at the same time I was afraid of becoming Leo’s mentee.

For the knights who had experienced Leo’s training it was disheartening.

‘I can’t imagine what happens after the sea of ​​fire!’

Leo who chuckled as he watched his knights speaking urgently sat down on the bench and asked.

“How was it after lunch?”

“It wasn’t even a fuss.”

Martina’s face turned white.

“I never dreamed that Professor Artian was such a scary person.”

It was said that less than fifty people were not late for Artian’s heroism class.

Since this is a temporary class period there is no important class content but even so being late to class as a group was unforgivable.

It is said that Artian who was depressed at first changed as soon as the latecomers arrived as a group.

‘Ah?! You’re late because you got into a fight with Leo Plov? If you’re that good at fighting you can make the class content about fighting too!’

It is said that Artian who gave himself to the hot-tempered hero through necromancy went berserk.

It is said that the first-year students whose stamina was already depleted by Leo were trampled by Artian’s anger.

“I was so scared…!”

“I painfully understand why Lady Celia told me to be careful of Professor Artian.”

Karin trembled holding her arms and Valerie broke into a cold sweat.

Leo sighed as if he knew that would happen.

“Anyway master. Do you plan on taking on first-year students as mentees?”

Martina asked politely.

As they had been trained by Leo the Slayer Knights knew very well about Leo’s skills.

Most of the current first-year students had hope that Leo would show up someday.

‘But Master Leo has no flaws.’

Leo’s movements are almost divine and there are no blind spots.

Leo who had Aron’s ‘super senses’ had no blind spots.

‘Besides you never get tired.’

Most first-year students thought that they could become Leo’s mentees by chance and luck but in Martina’s opinion there was absolutely no hope.

‘You’re actually saying that you won’t accept a mentee.’

Leo chuckled as he looked at Martina who had a puzzled expression on her face.

“well. “There are five who have potential.”

“As expected the daughter of the southern magic tower lord and crown prince of Virsen including the princess. And she must be the granddaughter of the Sword Saint.”

“that’s right.”

Martina nodded.

In her opinion those four people are of different class.

In particular Aina Vaidna was a student of Gerdinger who had seen many sword geniuses and even Martina who had seen many sword geniuses was tongue-in-cheek.

“Who is the other one?”

Karin asked with sparkling eyes.

“Here he comes.”

Leo said with a grin.

At those words the knights’ eyes turned to where Leo was looking.

And I was surprised.

“Luke Eldar?”

The bottom of the first grade was slowly approaching Leo.

***

Leo stood on the parade ground where the second-year dormitory buildings were gathered.

In front of Leo Luke held a wooden sword with a nervous expression on his face.

‘This guy was also there during lunch time.’

And Luke didn’t move an inch to attack Leo.

I was just observing Leo’s movements from a distance.

“Thank you for your time.”

“I was the one who told you to attack me at any time. don’t mind.”

Leo chuckled looking at Luke who was very scared.

Looking at Leo like that Luke looked flushed.

‘It’s different from the entrance exam. Now I’m a Lumerun student like Leo!’

The person you have been admiring is in front of you.

A man named Leo Plov whom Luke had read about in an outdated newspaper in a quiet rural village immediately became the object of Luke’s admiration.

A person like the great heroes I saw in fairy tale books when I was young.

Among the five great heroes Luke’s favorite was none other than Kyle the hero of the beginning.

Most people don’t like Kyle the hero of the beginning even if he is a fictional character.

However for Luke who was from the countryside it didn’t really matter whether he was a real hero or not.

All class like Kyle.

Plus a heroic move that makes your heart tremble.

To Luke Leo was like something out of a fairy tale.

Literally the purest yearning.

I am in the same place as that person.

‘Is it okay for someone like me?’

Luke laughed awkwardly.

But Luke wanted to talk to Leo.

“Whoa.”

Luke took a deep breath and took a stance.

Woe!

Luke closed the distance between himself and Leo and swung his sword.

The sword moved quickly.

But Luke was clearly following Leo’s movements.

‘This guy is definitely the weakest among the first year students.’

Leo easily dodged Luke’s attack.

‘His swordsmanship is sloppy and his auror control is poor.’

Leo snapped his fingers when he saw Luke’s sword aiming for his neck with an aura-filled attack.

Pow-!

“Huh?!”

Luke’s body shook just from blocking the attack.

Usually even if the opponent doesn’t counterattack you lose your will to fight when you see the overwhelming difference in skill.

It also makes you despair.

The same was true for Luke.

Not just Luke.

Around the end of lunch time today.

All of the first years had the same eyes as Luke.

I felt despair at the overwhelming difference in skill.

but.

Gritting his teeth Luke swung his sword again.

Leo smiled at that sight.

‘It’s natural that my skills are poor. ‘Because I learned it on my own.’

Luke entered Lumern purely on his own.

furthermore….

Ugh-!

Luke’s mana stirred.

‘I felt it during the entrance exam but it has become clear to me about this guy’s mana characteristics.’

The aurors became even bigger.

‘Is it mana amplification due to emotions?’

Even in despair I try not to stop standing up and moving forward.

He heightens his emotions and attacks again.

It’s not because someone taught it.

We are doing it unconsciously.

‘The world calls such a person a hero.’

***

“Heo-eok-heo-eok-uuuk!”

Luke covered his mouth and managed to stop vomiting.

I didn’t have the strength to lift a finger.

I tried my best to move but I didn’t even touch it.

‘Amazing.’

Luke was impressed as he looked at Leo sitting calmly in front of him.

“Mr. Leo.”

“why?”

“Can I… become a hero too?”

“You don’t know that.”

Leo chuckled.

“But people can always achieve great feats if they don’t stop trying the impossible.”

“Ah that’s what Lishinas said!”

“Okay. I don’t mind if I don’t get a mentee but just give it a try.”

Leo chuckled.

“Overcoming limits is a hero but making the impossible possible is also what a hero should do.”
