Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 464



464.

After lunch time is over.

Second graders headed to the circular lecture hall to take a special class on heroism.

There Leo rested his chin.

‘Why is the hero’s tomb being robbed?’

A request from a bulletin board I saw during lunch time.

‘The fact that it was posted on the plaza’s request bulletin board is not a big deal in Rumern’s opinion.’

A request that has been almost neglected even at the school level.

This is a bulletin board that is often used by students who have insufficient credit points for requests from the third year onwards to quickly fill up their credits.

In general most incidents are of low risk and importance.

‘It was a request that had been neglected for quite some time.’

In the case of requests that are not resolved even after Lumern students are dispatched or requests that have not been completed for a long time the school conducts its own investigation.

And if something special is discovered the request level is immediately raised.

However there are times when this is not the case and it is left unattended.

Although it is not difficult students turn away from requests where they cannot find a solution.

Sometimes it is solved by eccentric students who like mysteries but most students ignore time-consuming requests.

‘Most of the tombs of heroes that were robbed belonged to heroes who had already been forgotten long ago.’

Heroes who accomplished great feats while alive are praised by future generations.

Heroes are remembered among people by those who were indebted to them.

However those who are indebted to the hero do not live forever.

As time passes even heroes are forgotten.

Especially in this era hero records have been destroyed.

‘The heroes of the old past are forgotten. Even I’ve been forgotten.’

The graves of such heroes were robbed.

A meaningless action.

‘Because a hero’s legacy does not lie in the grave.’

The hero’s mementos are never left unattended because they are the key to opening the hero record.

Therefore there is no benefit in robbing a hero’s tomb.

‘Although it can be seen as the actions of a crazy person.’

However Leo knows of a tribe that revives the dead and uses them as subordinates.

‘Necromancer.’

Unholy people who follow the Demon King.

‘But reviving someone who had great power while alive would be a big risk for them right? Moreover keeping a hero-level person alive and controlling them would be impossible with the current power of the Demon King right?’

Maybe it was a time when Erebos was intact.

With the current power of the Demon King it is impossible to revive the dead who have achieved the status of a hero and make them his subordinates.

‘What if it was really the Hell Kaiser guy who robbed the tomb? Have you developed your own capabilities? Or have you figured out how to use the power of the Piece of Erebos?’

Leo’s expression became even more serious.

Meanwhile class started.

“Since when did the concept of a hero as we know it exist?”

On the blackboard ‘What is a hero?’ Mel who wrote the question turned around.

“Do you have any students who can answer?”

The students raised their hands in response.

Mel who smiled softly as she saw the students actively raising their hands pointed to one student.

“Please answer Student Rossetti.”

A second-year student stood up and responded to Mel’s words.

“The concept of heroes as we know them arose after the end of the Age of Calamity 5000 years ago.”

“Hehe that’s the correct answer in a broad sense.”

Mel took a cookie out of the cookie box next to the lecture desk and gave it to the student.

“Ohh.”

The student let out an exclamation and ate the cookie to confirm the information.

“I suddenly have a question. Why does Professor Mel randomly give rewards for class participation?”

When Illyana muttered softly with a puzzled look on her face Chloe responded.

“Research shows that sometimes random rewards can increase efficiency.”

“I read it too. No matter how good the reward people get bored quickly but the study showed that adding a stimulus called ‘random’ increases interest right?”

“that’s right.”

Chloe nodded at Chen Xia’s words.

“Where on earth do you find and read books like that?”

While Illyana looked curious Mel continued to ask questions.

“Can you give a more specific answer? Yes Eliza student.”

“The concept of hero as we know it today is a concept that arose after the era of Gaebyeok 3000 years ago. These are heroes who have been able to inherit the power of ‘preceding’ heroes through Hero Records.”

“It’s perfect!”

“oh!”

“Excellent bad student~!”

Exclamations of exclamation flowed from all over.

When Eliza glared at the students making jokes they averted their gaze.

Mel said smiling at the sight.

“As student Eliza said before the era of Gaebyeok 3000 years ago it was a time when the existence of a world of heroes was not known. Therefore it was a time when there were far fewer heroes than there are today. Since the dawn of time the number of heroes listed on hero records has begun to increase explosively. That is why the era from then on is called the era of heroes in the true sense of the word.”

“Ohh.”

“I certainly don’t seem to know much about the era of electric heroes before the era of Gaebyeok.”

“There aren’t many records of heroes from that era.”

While the students admired it.

Mel said clapping her hands.

“Now then shall we read the textbook? Hmm who would be better… a sword student?”

“Yes yes?!”

Carl was startled and jumped up from his seat.

Carl’s embarrassed voice rang out in the circular lecture hall.

“Would you please read the section on ‘Past and Present Heroes’ on page 372 of <The Life and Death of Heroes>?”

“Yes yep! therefore….”

Tuk-! Rumble-!

“Huh?!”

“Take your time.”

Carl who was holding a textbook in embarrassment dropped his writing utensil.

There were giggling sounds coming from all over.

Abad who was sitting at the front of Noble Dormitory looked puzzled.

“Why is Carl like that?”

“It looks like he was dozing off.”

Duran snorted.

Eliza who was sitting in the back seat and trimming her nails said as if she was pitiful.

“That doesn’t seem like you who has always been sly. “I’m just nervous.”

Carl heard those words and shouted inwardly.

‘How can you not be nervous when the Dragon Lord is right in front of you?’

During the last subjugation of Erebos.

Chelsea and Carl accidentally found out that Mel was the Dragon Lord.

Of course neither Chelsea nor Karl had any intention of making a fuss about that fact.

However I was called separately by Mel before class today.

‘I know the two students won’t spread rumors about my identity but please still be careful.’

Looking at Mel who was smiling mischievously and squinting one eye Carl asked pretending to be calm as usual.

‘What if a rumor spreads by mistake?’

Mel who had been contemplating the question by putting her index finger to her mouth smiled brightly and said.

‘Then I will scold you.’

The scolding that Mel was talking about was a light punishment like making someone raise their hand in the professor’s office.

However for Carl who did not know this fact the idea of ​​being scolded by the Dragon Lord who had the most power in the world could not help but be fearful.

Mel knew he was mistaken when he saw Carl’s reaction but it was fun so he decided to leave it alone.

“That idiot.”

Chelsea shook her head covering her face.

Meanwhile Carl opened the textbook took a deep breath and read.

“The heroes after the heroes of Gaebyeok can in a sense be said to be the successors of the heroes of Gaebyeok. “Then whose successors are those who became heroes during the 2000 years between the end of the Age of Disaster and the beginning of the Age of Creation?”

Karl’s voice rang out as he read the textbook clearly.

“…Heroes of the era of electric heroes entered the hero record through their own efforts. Heroes of today’s era use countless hero skills. But that doesn’t mean I think we can say for sure that the later heroes are ahead of the earlier heroes.”

After reading the part Carl looked at Mel and Mel nodded.

Karl sat down with relief.

“Which hero was strong in what era? It’s an interesting topic of discussion. However when this topic comes up on the agenda at a conference it often leads to debate and heated debate even leading to a duel.”

“Are there going to be fist fights at the conference?”

Students responded in disbelief.

“If it’s a fistfight it’s at the level of cuteness. There are many cases of stabbings.”

While students remain silent against the unimaginable belligerence of scholars. Mel continued the class.

“The author of <The Life and Death of Heroes> says that the heroes of the early era are as strong as the heroes of the later era but this is actually a fringe claim in academia. What do Cal students think?”

“I think what the author said is absolutely right.”

When Karl answered quickly Eliza behind him said as she cleaned her nails.

“I’m not ignoring the electric heroes but I’m not convinced by that argument. “I think it’s natural that modern heroes who inherit the powers of countless heroes are stronger than the heroes of the past right?”

“I think so too.”

“Who are the famous heroes of the electric age?”

Students had a discussion.

“Then the early and later periods. Shall we compare the two most famous heroes?”

As the students talked Mel wrote two people’s names on the blackboard.

<Fairy Knight Berkia.>

<Twilight Knight Rumern.>

The students fell silent as they heard the names of the two heroes who boast the highest recognition in the world.

A person called one of the three great elves and one of the heroes of the beginning.

Even comparing the two is controversial.

“These two people are considered the strongest magic swordsmen not only in their time but throughout the history of the Age of Heroes. Also Berkia was the great hero’s disciple and Rumern is the one who inherited the great hero’s power. “Except for race these people surprisingly have a lot in common.”

Mel grinned.

“Now which of these two is stronger?”

“But wouldn’t Lumern who fought against Erebos be stronger?”

“Berkia doesn’t have many records right?”

The atmosphere was such that all the students were raising their hands in favor of Berkia.

Chen Xia who was watching this asked Leo.

“What do you think Master Leo?”

“well.”

Leo who was momentarily distracted from his thoughts about the Demon King crossed his arms and pondered.

Leo met Seilun and Rodia.

‘Both of them were heroes with overwhelming power.’

The hero of Gaebyeok was not defeated by a piece of Erebos.

‘The fragment sealed by the heroes of Gaebyeok was much more powerful than the fragment that was resurrected this time. The heroes of Gaebyeok completely knocked down that piece.’

The reason why the heroes of the Gaebyeok were unable to subdue the pieces of Erebos was because of Erebos’ immortality.

Erebus is endlessly resurrected and burning.

The subjugation failed because there was no hero of the beginning with the pure mana characteristic that could break the immortality of Erebos.

As Leo was assessing the power of Seirun and Rodia he remembered his student before leaving on his final expedition.

‘The power of Seilun and Rodia was superior to Berkia’s when I last remembered it. Since they are heroes of the same era Rumeren’s strength will not be much different compared to the two. but.’

After organizing his thoughts Leo opened his mouth.

“It must be difficult to determine superiority or inferiority.”
