    428.

    “It’s wider than I thought.”

    “This is Leo’s original home…!”

    In front of the mansion on the Plov family’s estate.

    As Runia muttered as she looked at the front door of the mansion Eiran next to her looked nervous.

    “Let’s go in.”

    “Miss Runia. Wouldn’t this be enough? I’m sure Leo’s parents are there too. “Wouldn’t there be a shortage of gifts?”

    “You were the one who said that if you buy a gift that’s too flashy you might feel burdened.”

    “iced coffee! “You would do such a foolish thing!”

    Eiran who fell into a state of confusion due to excessive tension blamed himself.

    “wait a minute! “Go back and give me a gift…”

    “Then it’s too late.”

    Runia grabbed Eiran by the back and dragged him inside.

    “Ah Miss Runia! wait a minute!”

    “profit! “Stop it and come quickly!”

    Runia shouted as she grabbed hold of the iron cage door and pulled Eiran who could not fall.

    That was when the two elves were in front of someone else’s house.

    “I guess I’m afraid of going to the retreat!”

    A triumphant voice was heard from behind.

    Runia turned her head and saw Ar a beastman with his hand on his waist and his white tail wagging snoring! and was spouting out.

    Next to him Driana stood with her arms crossed.

    “Are you here?”

    Runia with a crooked expression placed one hand on Eiran’s waist without letting go of the nape of Eiran’s neck and tilted her head crookedly.

    Driana said after seeing his characteristic ferocious gestures.

    “I always feel this way but no matter how I look at you Runia you look like a gangster.”

    “huh? “Wasn’t he a gangster?!”

    “Who are you calling a gangster now? “You perverted dwarf and stupid cat!”

    Runia who was in tears shouted.

    Eiran muttered softly while looking at Runia.

    “Sometimes you look like a gangster.”

    “what?”

    “Huh?”

    Seeing Runia’s eyes twinkling Eiran hugged the iron gate of the mansion even more tightly.

    Runia tried to break away from Eiran but Eiran’s basic strength was much stronger in the first place.

    “hey! Get rid of that cat. “I’m holding on and saying I won’t go!”

    “If you block the road you are also a nuisance to others.”

    “My words!”

    Ar tried to help Runia get Eiran away from the door.

    Geek!

    As Ar joined in an unusual sound was heard from the door.

    Unlike before Eiran also looked more stressed.

    “Why is he so persistent!”

    Ar whose Ogi was activated gritted his teeth and gave more strength.

    It was when Driana looked at that and made a pitiful expression.

    “What are you doing now?”

    As soon as Leo’s voice was heard Eiran let go of his hand.

    “Kyaaak?”

    “Uggya?!”

    Runia and Ar who were pulling Eiran were unable to overcome their strength and fell miserably on the floor.

    Unlike the two people who were completely faceless Eiran stood neatly straightened his clothes and stood in front of Leo.

    “Leo! Are you spending your vacation well? Thank you for inviting me! Here… it’s not enough but it’s a gift!”

    Leo grinned as he watched Eiran smile brightly and hand him the gift.

    “Thank you my mother will like it.”

    At those words Eiran’s cheeks blushed he cupped both his cheeks and twisted his body not knowing what to do.

    Seeing Eiran like that Ar and Runia attacked him without hesitation.

    “Why are you like this?”

    “Are you asking because you don’t know that?”

    “Try it too!”

    Eiran ran away with a tearful expression on his face to avoid the two people who were attacking him with his eyes raised.

    Looking at that Driana made a pitiful expression.

    “They are called the future of the species. “I’m really worried about the future.”

    “I don’t think that’s what you would say?”

    Leo shook his head and said but Driana didn’t listen.

    ***

    “what? Seniors who graduated as instructors are coming?!”

    “Is that so? I heard the story directly from Torua senior yesterday. “He disappeared around evening.”

    A large number of students had already gathered in the mansion.

    It wasn’t just Rumern.

    Even Seilun and Azonia Damian.

    Invitations had already been sent to students with the highest grades at each school.

    Moreover there were first-year students as well as second-year students.

    “Heh! “It feels like a school competition?”

    Illyana stroked her chin and her eyes sparkled.

    According to that muttering he is ranked 5th in Azonia.

    Bormann crossed his arms and burst into laughter.

    “That sounds fun. “Of course the best one is Azonia!”

    Azonia students cheered at that shout.

    “Tsk tsk tsk.”

    Illyana clicked her tongue and snapped her fingers as she looked at the Azonia students.

    “I’m sorry but you can never beat us! “Why!”

    Illyana proudly raised her head covered her mouth with her hand and burst into laughter.

    “Because we have Leo Plov! Ho ho ho! I will show you all the bitter taste of defeat.”

    “Ugh?!”

    Bormann gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

    Chelsea looked pitiful as she looked at Illyana.

    “He didn’t win because he was so good so why are he acting so proud?”

    “I’m embarrassed so someone please stop me.”

    Tade said holding his face.

    said Duran who was sitting on one side with his eyes closed and his arms crossed.

    “Bring out Chen Xia.”

    “Me?”

    “Should I pull him out?”

    It’s so scary!

    A small spark flew through Duran’s body.

    Chen Xia looking at this with a troubled smile approached Illyana.

    “Miss Iliana please stop and come.”

    “why? I need to discourage the guys from other schools in advance… Huh? town?”

    Chen Xia did not listen to him and covered Illyana’s nose and mouth with a white cloth as she tried to provoke the students from another school again.

    Illyana who was struggling due to the sudden situation soon rolled her eyes and fell limp.

    “A student at our school was rude.”

    Seeing Chen Xia smiling brightly all the students from other schools suddenly looked frightened.

    “He’s not dead right?”

    “He’s not even moving.”

    “The upper grades of Lumern are scary.”

    While first graders from other schools were whispering.

    Celia arrived.

    “It’s crowded with a lot of people.”

    Chelsea greeted Celia who was shaking her head and stroking her hair.

    “Welcome Celia.”

    At Chelsea’s words Celia paused for a moment and frowned.

    “what? “I feel bad.”

    Celia couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable because she had an infinitely friendly smile that was uncharacteristic of Chelsea.

    Despite Celia’s words Chelsea did not give up her friendly smile.

    “You know I found something interesting?”

    Chelsea took the photo out of her arms.

    “braided!”

    Celia’s face turned white as she looked at Chelsea with suspicion.

    “You you you you!” “Where did you get that picture!”

    “well? “Where did it come from?”

    “evil!”

    Celia rushed at Chelsea with a red face tore up the photo and burned it with her flame aura.

    Then he ran to Leo.

    “hey! Leo! “Why are you doing this?”

    Leo who was talking with Chloe and Abad shrugged his shoulders.

    Chloe smiled even if she was in trouble and Abad smiled his signature soft smile.

    “It looks pretty good doesn’t it?”

    “When someone says something nice erase it from your mind! butter!”

    Celia who reacted almost like a game to Abad’s words grabbed Leo by the collar and shook him.

    “You decided to keep it a secret! “Keep it secret!”

    “I didn’t show you. “My mother showed me.”

    “Your aunt?”

    Celia cried.

    I couldn’t say anything more than what Raina showed me.

    “You grabbed the collar of the master you are serving. “You are a rude maid.”

    “That’s right. Miss Celia. “Extreme behavior is not the attitude of a maid.”

    Eliza who was watching this made a blatant laugh and Chen Xia who had suppressed Illyana also smiled and said.

    Celia in tears rushed at the two and strangled them.

    “Let go of this Celia Gerdinger!”

    “Don’t be angry Miss Celia.”

    Eliza struggled and Chen Xia spoke calmly.

    It was a time of great commotion.

    “It’s nice to see everyone so energetic.”

    A clear laugh was heard.

    Voices heard vividly in the students’ ears.

    Everyone’s eyes turned to the second floor of the mansion.

    And when he found a little girl there wearing a veil his eyes widened.

    “Dragon Lord.”

    The Dragon Road that I saw during the last summit was standing there.

    A situation that everyone has already seen.

    But even so this is my first time seeing it this close.

    While everyone is nervous.

    Melina hung a banner on the second floor railing.

    Flap-!

    “We sincerely welcome everyone here to the retreat.”

    Melina smiled brightly and clapped with her small hands.

    However the students who saw the banner just froze.

    “Welcome to hell?”

    Chelsea muttered in a shaky voice.

    Carl who saw that muttered with a look on his face.

    “also.”

    Why aren’t sad premonitions wrong?

    Karl muttered to himself and smiled sadly.

    It was time for everyone to swallow their dry saliva.

    and….

    Wow! thud-!

    The open door closed with a heavy sound.

    “Okay then everyone.”

    “Hey isn’t the atmosphere unusual?”

    “What is happening here?”

    It was a time when students were making noise.

    “The retreat is starting.”

    The landscape changed with him.

    The students who were suddenly thrown into the middle of a mountain valley looked up at Melina blankly.

    Melina was looking down at the students from the cliff and waving her hand.

    “Please come back.”

    Kyaaaaaaaaa!

    Argh!

    The students fell down the cliff due to the law of gravity.

    ***

    Whioooooo!

    As he fell down the endless cliff Ar had a cold expression on his face.

    ‘There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. ‘By using Aurors.’

    Ar who was trying to raise the aura looked embarrassed for a moment.

    The auror in my body reacted very slightly unlike usual.

    I couldn’t exert my usual strength.

    But it was only for a moment that I was embarrassed.

    Ar quickly used Auror to strengthen his hands.

    Then he raised his fingernails and scratched the cliff.

    Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-!

    Ar used friction to forcefully slow down the fall.

    It was then that Ar smiled in remorse.

    Ugh-!

    “uh?”

    My body became incredibly heavy.

    fault-!

    The strength of the hand could not overcome the weight and it slipped.

    Quagga River-! thud! Thick string! bang!

    Ar who fell to the floor screamed and groaned.

    I wasn’t seriously hurt but it was incredibly painful.

    Ar wasn’t the only one nearby that fell.

    Eyran and Celia Duran fell together.

    “Oh it hurts.”

    Eiran was in tears and struggled to get up from his seat.

    Celia also gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

    Duran calmly stood up but his movements were slow due to the pain.

    Ar also stood up.

    Fifteen second graders from each school were invited.

    Among them Ar fell with these three.

    “It looks like they are all scattered.”

    Ar spoke in response to Celia’s muttering.

    “Did he fall here randomly? Or was this group decided in advance?”

    “joy. “There is a high probability that we were selected as one group.”

    Duran snorted.

    “Aren’t the four here all vanguard?”

    “that’s right. “Our role is to stop the enemy on the front lines.”

    It was time for Eiran to nod as well.

    “It’s a little different.”

    A sound came from above.

    Four people raised their heads at the same time.

    The two people who had excellent visual acuity found Leo sitting on a cliff looking down at them.

    “Your role in battle is not to block the enemy but to annihilate them right?”

    Despite having outstanding physical ability and stamina it possesses overwhelming firepower.

    “Like the brave Aron.”

    “Leo!”

    “What the black rabbit! Why are you the only one comfortably on the cliff? “Come down quickly!”

    “Are you not participating in the retreat?”

    Eiran smiled brightly and waved his hand and Ar pouted his lips.

    When Celia asked with a puzzled look Duran crossed his arms.

    “No he’s already climbed up the cliff.”

    “That’s right Duran.”

    Leo smiled and nodded.

    “I cleared this assignment as soon as I started.”

    “So you’re saying you’ll wait for us?”

    Leo chuckled at Duran’s words.

    “I’m still waiting for you.”

    “what?”

    Duran as well as others looked puzzled at the sudden remark.

    “so?”

    Leo opened his mouth.

    “How long are you going to make me wait?”

    Ar snorted as he looked at Leo who was looking down at them from a high place.

    “I’ll be there soon. wait.”

    “okay?”

    Leo smiled and stood up.

    “Then I’ll be waiting.”

    After leaving those words Leo left the cliff without any regrets.

    Melina asked Leo.

    “I guess you’re waiting for the day when those kids will follow you.”

    “I can’t wait.”

    Leo chuckled.

    “Can those kids replace the great heroes?”

    “I can’t replace them. The same goes for you and the heroes of Gaebyeok.”

    “…I can’t help it. We dare not compare to the great heroes. “I can never replace them.”

    Melina shrugged her shoulders as if she was sorry.

    Leo stretched out his hand towards Melina.

    “That’s not what I meant.”

    “yes?”

    “You are you.”

    Leo said ruffling Melina’s hair.

    “They can’t replace you just like you can’t replace them.”

    Leo chuckled.

    “Do you think we saved the world with our own strength? I just happened to have stronger powers than others. So anyone who is willing to risk their life to save the world is a reliable and valuable comrade.”

    Leo let go of Melina’s head and trudged away.

    “Hurry up on stage. “Because I’m desperately waiting for you.”

    Melina who was looking at Leo’s back looked down the cliff and said.

    “Everyone you need to work hard right? “The hero of the beginning is waiting for you.”
