Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 409



409.

Cheaeng-!

The sword crossed and a sharp sound rang out.

Whilick-!

Celia rotated her body and let go of Martina’s sword that was pressing on her.

The moment Martina loses her balance.

Woe!

Aina leapt behind Martina.

Aina’s thrust was aimed at Celia.

A sting like a flash of light.

However Celia easily dodged the attack as if she had expected it.

He then snatched Aina’s wrist and threw her away.

Aina floating in the air looked down at Celia with an expressionless face.

Meanwhile Celia aimed the tip of her sword at Martina.

“End of mock battle.”

Celia said calmly as she retrieved her sword.

Whirring!

Celia stylishly swung her sword in the air a few times and said with a thud as she sheathed her sword.

“I asked for a mock battle first so I did it.”

Celia narrowed her eyes and looked at Aina.

“Why on earth did you decide to have a mock battle? “Even though we asked to do it first our teamwork wasn’t good right?”

Looking at Celia like that Aina spoke.

“I haven’t been subdued yet.”

“The mock battle was over from the moment Martina was subdued. “There’s no reason to do it anymore.”

Celia said rubbing her hair.

“You don’t know that you can’t defeat me alone right?”

What the three are doing now is a pure swordsmanship sparring without the use of auras.

Aina is the great-granddaughter of the Sword Saint and has been called a sword genius since she was young but Celia is also a direct descendant of Gerdinger and has been called a sword genius.

The difference between 1st and 2nd graders is the difference between heaven and earth.

Therefore even in a pure swordsmanship sparring Aina could not defeat Celia.

But Aina showed no signs of backing down.

Celia said looking at Aina like that.

“You should have saved Martina instead of attacking me a little while ago in the first place.”

“I wanted to spar one-on-one with senior Celia.”

“What is the reason?”

“I want to quickly improve my skills and receive recognition from senior Leo.”

‘Leone again.’

Celia sighed.

We already know about Aina’s strange obsession with Leo.

That obsession was blatantly revealed every time Aina overexerted herself.

“I won’t ask why you are so obsessed with getting Leo’s approval. “Because it’s your personal situation.”

“….”

“But if you keep going like that you’ll never get Leo’s approval right?”

“What… does that mean?”

“It was like that just a little while ago.”

Celia looked at Martina who was looking a little worried behind her.

“When Martina was overpowered you should have saved her instead of attacking me. “You learned it in class right?”

“….”

Aina clenched her fists.

“If Leo’s standard was ‘strong’ in the first place you would have already been recognized.”

Aina has never missed the top spot in first grade.

‘Even Shasha of the Juen Summoning Department of the Harveyden Magic Department of the same Knight Department. ‘Because we have beaten all the strong competitors and are firmly maintaining our first place position.’

However Leo did not acknowledge Aina.

‘Besides Leo has consistently recognized Carl since first grade.’

It’s not just because we’re friends.

Leo truly thinks of Carl as an amazing person and rather than a best friend he considers him a colleague who will walk the same path.

I didn’t understand that fact at first but Celia has been feeling it lately too.

Not only the midterm exams but also the recent Elehem incident.

Carl’s ability as a supporter and as a commander to read the flow of battle was amazing.

“I asked Leo once. “Why didn’t I make you my mentee?”

“…That’s because I wasn’t able to successfully attack Leo-senpai at that time. Luke Eldar made it a success.”

“Whether then or now Luke is no match for you. But why did such a result occur?”

“that….”

Aina trailed off.

What happened back then still doesn’t make sense to me now.

“Did you really see Leo back then?”

Aina’s eyes opened wide.

“What kind of person is my cousin Leo Plov?”

Aina’s eyes wavered.

“that….”

“Are you looking straight at who I am?”

Aina was silent at Celia’s words.

“How are you going to get Leo’s approval if you can’t even look at your surroundings properly?”

Aina lowered her head at Celia’s cold words.

Seeing Aina like that Celia took a deep breath.

“What future do you want? “What kind of hero do you want to be?”

“….”

Aina had no answer.

I just looked at the ground in silence.

Seeing Aina like that Celia scratched her head nervously.

Celia did her best for Aina.

Aina also did her best to follow Celia’s guidance.

But Aina had never really seen Celia.

I was just obsessed with Leo’s approval.

Even for Celia who had a good personality and generosity this was her limit.

“I don’t know anymore. You don’t need me do you? I understand. Because even if it’s not me you’ll become stronger. “I will attend Lumern in the second semester without any problems and will also advance to the next grade.”

“Lady Celia?”

Martina looked embarrassed as she watched Celia leave.

Thump-thump-thump-

Celia who was coldly leaving stopped.

And then I looked back.

“But I may not be able to maintain the position of class representative any longer.”

“…?”

Aina raised her head and looked at Celia.

“Leo said earlier that he declared in front of other students. Luke Eldar’s goal is victory.”

“transmission?”

Aina’s face hardened.

“huh. I know my cousin isn’t the type of person to tell lies. “Does this mean that Luke Eldar surpassed you?”

Celia grinned.

“I wish you luck Aina.”

With those words Celia truly left.

“Aina! Next time you see her be sure to apologize okay? “I’ll try to convince her!”

Martina spoke to Aina and hurriedly chased after Celia.

Aina who was left alone looked at the ground.

Luke Elda a first-year failure student and the weakest.

Luke Eldar’s goal is to pass down the legend?

The last image of Luke during the Elehem incident appeared in Aina’s mind.

‘I will never lose.’

Aina gritted her teeth.

“Lady Celia. Are you really planning on quitting being Aina’s mentor?”

“Where is the place to quit? “Anyway once the first semester ends the mentor-mentee relationship ends.”

Celia spoke calmly to Martina who asked urgently.

“…Are you going to stop thinking of Aina as your junior?”

Celia sighed at that question.

“As long as we are fellow Lumern students. He’s my junior. The fact that I coached it remains unchanged. You worked hard and I am satisfied with that. “It must have been difficult but I’m grateful to Aina for doing her best.”

“But why did you say that? “Do you want Aina to lose?”

“…I don’t know about that. However it is clear that Aina is conscious of Luke.”

“Because you were chosen by Master Leo?”

“There is something like that. But more than that there seemed to be a strange sense of rivalry.”

Martina made an absurd expression at those words.

Hositamtam The one who is aiming for the position of Aina’s class representative is Habiden Juen Shasha.

Even though the other first years didn’t show it they thought that Aina was very concerned about them.

However Celia strangely said that Aina considered Luke a rival.

“I don’t think he knows but even if he did he wouldn’t admit it.”

Celia shook her head.

“How do you know Aina’s heart so well?”

“I was similar to Aina until last year.”

“Is she similar to Aina?”

“When we first met Leo couldn’t even use an Auror. “I made a bet with Leo and lost so I suffered the humiliation of having to be a maid for a week.”

“…A maid? “Are you Miss Celia?”

Martina made an angry expression.

“Don’t go and spread rumors.”

I opened my eyes and looked at Martina.

Even within the Gerdinger family this was a fact that only a very few people who were present at the time knew.

“After that Leo learned Auror in an instant. And he proved that he was all class. To be honest until the beginning of the semester I thought of Leo who had just become an Auror as one step below me and did not consider him a rival. “I tried my best to ignore it.”

It was the same for other students as well.

“And we were overtaken in an instant.”

Celia’s eyes sank.

“I felt like my heart was breaking. Before I knew it Leo had gone so far away that it was difficult to chase after him. “It’s still like that.”

“okay.”

Martina who had always seen Celia’s confident appearance could never have imagined that she had such concerns.

“I don’t know if Luke will really beat Aina or not. If she loses to Luke Aina’s heart might break. Especially since I can’t see my surroundings clearly. So I wanted to make Luke conscious.”

Celia said looking back at Aina who was no longer visible.

“At least if you are conscious of Luke Eldar and see clearly what path you have taken. Even if you fall you will be able to get up and run again. “I think this is the last help I can give as a mentor.”

“miss.”

Martina looked touched.

However he soon developed a puzzled expression.

“But can Luke really beat Aina?”

“You don’t know. But it won’t be impossible.”

“why?”

“…I may say it myself but… my cousin is a little… what should I say?”

Celia who was thinking about various things said.

“You’re crazy.”

“….”

“Unless you go crazy you can’t harass people so creatively in the name of training.”

Celia is disgusted.

She was one of the people who suffered the most from Leo.

“…Of course Master Leo’s motto is scary.”

‘no? ‘If it can’t be done make it happen don’t you know?’

Martina trembled as she remembered Leo speaking with a very natural expression on his face.

“I heard you have a special training schedule for this summer vacation.”

“I don’t like it it’s terrible.”

The two girls suffered from mental pain as they remembered Leo who was extremely vicious.

***

Waaaaaa-!

First round of the tournament.

The sounds of students fighting fiercely could be heard in the sparring hall set up at the central grand parade ground in Lumern.

Meanwhile Leo was standing in the waiting room for the next sparring.

“Can I really do this?”

“You don’t know that.”

Leo said calmly looking at Luke asking in a slightly anxious voice.

“But if you don’t believe in yourself who will believe in you? “I believe in what you have done so far.”

Luke nodded at Leo’s words.

“Oh and it’s okay to release those seals now.”

At Leo’s words Luke looked at the seals on his wrists and ankles.

Then he immediately laughed.

“Yes but I’ll do my best in this situation.”

Leo chuckled at those words.

The situation in the stadium was visible through the magic installed in the waiting room.

After the game was over the next turn came.

“Then I’ll go.”

“Luke.”

“yes?”

I called out to Luke as he left the waiting room.

Leo said looking at Luke who turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

“Go and report it. Who you are.”

“yes!”
