Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 421



421.

“Book of Shadows?!”

“Was there something like that?”

The first day of the summit.

After the meeting was over and the contents of the meeting were summarized and announced the students looked surprised.

What attracted the most interest was the Book of Shadows.

While everyone was surprised in the dormitory cafeteria Chloe asked Chen Xia next to her.

“Sia did you know?”

“yes.”

When Chen Xia answered with her signature smile Illyana made a fuss.

“Why didn’t you tell me! What a discovery! Besides if you had known that even a shadow could have your name on the hero record those mindless guys wouldn’t have ignored or despised you!”

Illyana reacted excitedly.

Students in the Glory dormitory and in the same class as Chen Xia during her first year treated her without prejudice even after it was revealed that she was a shadow.

Chen Xia herself after shaking off her concerns about her identity with Leo’s help decided to follow her own path without dwelling on heroes or shadows.

However since she was the princess of Shan there were bound to be students looking at her with colored glasses.

Heroes are people who have accomplished great feats that are recognized by the gods.

However no matter how great a hero is he cannot be flawless as long as he is human.

Some people have made big mistakes and despite their accomplishments some people are not noble in character.

There were also heroes who committed reprehensible acts.

However because it has been approved by God people quickly forget that fact.

However because shadows were not recognized by God they were held to a stricter standard than heroes.

Even so there was no second-year student who openly despised Chen Xia.

Not only Celia of the knight department she belongs to but also Duran who has stronger pride than anyone else regards Chen Xia as a rival.

Chloe Chelsea Abad a top student in the magic department is also close friends with Chen Xia.

In the case of the Summoning Department Chen Xia is one of the only opponents that Eliza can outsmart.

Warrendon is not a great person to care about such things in the first place.

Crucially she is close friends with Leo the student council president.

There was no fool in Rumern who would ruin his school life for no reason without the attention of the top graders.

However I couldn’t even implicitly change my gaze.

I just didn’t come forward because Chen Xia left me looking at him like that.

Chloe and Illyana students in the same dormitory knew that fact well.

Chloe sighed softly as she looked at Illyana clenching her fists in frustration.

“As it is Shan’s confidential matter Sia probably couldn’t talk about it carelessly. Besides even if the existence of the Book of Shadows were to become known nothing much would change right away.”

“Miss Chloe is right. “It is up to the shadows themselves including me to change people’s perspectives.”

“laugh. Still you even declared that you wouldn’t let it go if the Dragon Lord discriminated against you! “Now if there are guys who look at you like that I’m going to turn them into a mug.”

“Thank you Miss Illyana.”

It was when Chen Xia smiled.

“excuse me. Chen Xia.”

At that time Eiran came up to me.

Seilun second year student of the same generation.

“Yes Miss Eiran.”

“Chen Xia since you are the princess of Shan have you ever seen the Book of Shadows in person?”

“Of course.”

“Then have you seen the records of the hero of the beginning?”

“yes.”

“Ah I’m so jealous!”

Eiran who likes heroic stories made a fuss.

“What were the stories?”

Eiran’s eyes sparkle.

Accordingly Chloe and Iliana also looked at Chen Xia with curious eyes.

Kyle the hero of the beginning.

Until just a year ago he was a great hero who was considered nothing more than a fantasy but ever since evidence was revealed that he actually existed he has been continuously reevaluated.

However because there were almost no remaining records research on his movements was sluggish.

In such a situation Kyle’s records were discovered so it was natural that interest would be focused on him as a hero candidate.

“What are you talking about so funny?”

Chloe said as Chelsea who was passing by with a food tray tilted her head and asked.

“About the hero of the beginning of the Shadow Corridor.”

“I’m interested in that story too!”

Chelsea sat down quickly with sparkling eyes and spoke to Abad who was with her.

“Onii-sama sit here!”

Abad burst out laughing at those words and sat down next to Chelsea.

“I also wonder what kind of magic the hero of beginning used. Are you really all class?”

“yes.”

Runia who was eating from a distance and looking at the bustling atmosphere rested her chin.

“There really isn’t a day that isn’t bustling in Rumern.”

Runia shakes her head slightly.

At that time Karl and Ardriana who were sitting together stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“I heard you’re talking about the hero of the beginning! “Aren’t you curious?”

As Ar spoke with sparkling eyes Runia shook her head.

“Not really.”

“Leave this little bastard alone. “Even if you want to hear it you’re the type of person who will stretch it out of pride.”

“that’s right. “If I leave it alone it will come on its own right?”

Driana and Kal giggled and went with Ar to the direction where Chen Xia was.

“I’m really not that curious.”

Runia made a sour expression.

But every time a loud story came up my ears perked up again and again.

“Oh really!”

After a while he ran towards the noisy place as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Through this summit we plan to strengthen cooperation by breaking down the boundaries between heroes and shadows.”

Mel’s professor’s office.

Melina said with a serious face.

“And I also plan to strengthen harmony between races.”

The world is full of distrust between countries amid various interests.

And distrust between races continued.

Melina wanted to resolve all such discord in her group and unite her forces as much as possible.

As long as the collapse of Hero Records is just around the corner.

It was no exaggeration to say that the threat of Erebos was just around the corner.

“Fortunately thanks to Leo-sama Rodia-sama gained new powers so the time may have increased…”

“That too would just be a waste of time.”

Leo said as he lifted the teacup that Melina had brought out.

“What do you think of the heroes of today’s era?”

Melina asked.

Heroes whose names are listed on hero records in this era.

It was clear that they would become a force to fight against Erebos and Tartarus in the distant future.

“Everyone was great.”

“Do you have any advice for them?”

“well.”

Leo’s red eyes widened.

“No matter what anyone says these are people who have achieved feats that the gods can recognize and have their names on the hero record.”

Leo drank the tea and put it down.

“It’s funny to give advice to guys who are already on stage and doing their part.”

“then….”

“Of course I am more interested in the hero candidates who will lead the next generation. So I made a plan for this summer vacation.”

“Plan?”

Melina tilted her head.

Leo took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Melina.

Melina said after receiving it and reading it.

“Um… it’s a training schedule. Are you planning on doing this?”

“yes. Should I say it’s some kind of retreat? “I plan to do it at the Plov family’s estate.”

Melina smiled pitifully at Leo’s words.

‘These kids are going to go through hell during summer vacation.’

“I’d like to invite the people listed there to be instructors but can I ask you a favor?”

“yes. “I will prepare.”

Melina asked nodding her head and putting the planner in her arms.

“I have something I want to ask Leo.”

“What is it?”

“How long do you plan to hide that you are the reincarnation of the hero of the beginning?”

At that question Leo crossed his arms and looked at the ceiling in thought.

“Are you planning on hiding it forever?”

“It won’t be like that. “There will come a day when I have to reveal myself.”

Leo who was lost in thought shook his head.

“But not now. “At least compared to my past self it would be better to reveal it when I have gained strength that is not inferior to mine.”

Leo is regaining his past strength at a rapid pace and is building up his strength through rewards for conquering the world of heroes but he has not yet regained his full strength from his prime.

“yes.”

Summit held in Lumern.

And the world was shaken by the news that followed.

Even on the first day alone there were stories about the appearance of the Hero Record Book of Shadows and the final journey of the great heroes who had not been known until then.

The next day Melina continued to surprise the world by releasing the hero records of the heroes who were active during the Battle of Jormungand which she received from Leo.

Even as amazing things continued to happen the final exam tournament for first-year students continued to take place.

And before we knew it it was the semifinals.

“Wow class president mentee… Isn’t that amazing?”

Illyana stuck out her tongue.

“The last student in the grade made it to the semifinals? Moreover the opponent is the representative of the grade!”

Cal rested his chin as he looked at Illyana whose eyes were sparkling.

“You look happy.”

“of course! Because Austin is in the stable zone!”

Austin Illyana’s mentee and Leo’s knight achieved stable results.

No longer worried about being expelled Illyana enjoyed sparring with first-year students from then on.

“Furthermore thanks to being a class president mentee the odds were stacked against me several times!”

Illyana’s eyes sparkled and she shook her money bag.

“I almost lost my pocket money because I failed the written exam! “Thanks to you I no longer have to worry about allowance for the second semester!”

Eiran who was watching Illyana from the side was impressed.

“That’s amazing.”

“Hehe! “Please call me Illyana Heart of the Beast.”

“Something cool!”

“Don’t be cool Eiran. “That’s not the heart of the beast that’s the head of the beast.”

@Chelsea who was watching Eiran clapping his hands in admiration from the side said calmly.

“Hehe. Anyway should I try adding more money? knife. “I want to buy dividend rights!”

“Yes~ Yes~ To Luke?”

“What are you talking about? Of course it’s Ainaji!”

“Aren’t you the only Luke up to this point?”

“Heh! A true gambler does not gamble! “Even though the payout is low a true professional is someone who makes sure to win the game!”

This was not something the person who talked about the heart of the beast would say.

“So how much are you willing to bet?”

“entire.”

Seeing Illyana’s eyes sparkling with greed Karl sold the dividend rights without hesitation.

“Make this sister rich! “He’s a cute junior.”

That was when Illyana’s eyes sparkled.

“I’ll try that too.”

Someone approached Carl.

It was none other than Leah.

After being captured by Halind Leah’s soul was reduced to dust but she managed to recover within a few days.

“To whom?”

“So much for Aina Beidna.”

Leah handed the wad of money to Carl.

Looking at Leah whose eyes were burning with emotions other than greed Karl sold the dividend rights without saying anything.

‘Because it’s not my money.’

Carl put the wad of money into subspace.

“I need to get ready for business soon.”

***

“Whoa.”

Luke took a deep breath before entering the stadium.

There was no Leo.

In fact Leo hasn’t visited Luke even once since the first match.

It was a shame but at the same time I also thought that way.

‘I guess that means that I can do it alone now.’

Thinking like that I slapped my cheek.

It calmed my trembling heart.

Throughout the first semester.

A person who I could only think of as amazing who I had watched from afar was waiting for me.

‘How good can I be?’

The other students I’ve dealt with so far have been great too.

The opponent now is of a different level.

Literally the strongest freshman.

Anxiety overtook me and my heart trembled.

But then I took a deep breath and took a step forward.

‘let’s go. Luke.’

I shook off my anxiety.

‘We are testing the results of our training against the strongest first-year student.’
