Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 474



474.

The refugee city of Raysar was one of the cities that was in good condition during the time of disaster.

The size of the city was the largest among those still in existence at the time and its conditions were also better than other cities.

‘It was a city rich in supplies. Crucially there was a guardian of Changcheon.’

Aron’s teacher Agon the guardian of the sky.

Before the great heroes led by Lisinas and Kyle stood out.

He was a man called the hope of the world.

Agon loved children.

That is why orphans were collected from Raysar.

At least in the days when Agon the guardian of Changcheon was alive Raysar was a place where children with no place to go could live and look forward to tomorrow.

But after he passed away.

A full-scale tragedy began.

The lord of Raysar trained and brainwashed the orphans that flooded the streets.

It was remodeled into an entity solely for fighting.

And they were sent to war against Tartarus.

The training process was simple.

It’s just an endless competition.

Only children who survived the extreme training were given meals.

In order to win it was allowed to trample and kill the opponent.

Literally a living hell.

I didn’t know if it was possible to create a strong warrior.

However it was difficult for a proper person to be born.

‘Among them there were many children with outstanding talent.’

There were definitely children with talent and power that could really help the world.

However the lord of Raysar only used them as expendable items.

Children who were driven to the battlefield as expendables died in vain.

With hatred and resentment.

Such things were repeated endlessly.

Until the castle lord of Kyle Raysar was killed.

‘I was having an affair.’

And while punishing the lord of Raysar I learned who the mastermind behind the plan was.

‘Atkan Grand Duke of Jangson.’

The King’s henchman.

The reason he went to the trouble of planning this was simple.

‘It was to get the body.’

The specialty of the necromancers the demon army led by the Demon King Hell Kaiser is necromancy.

These are people who use corpses to exert great power.

That is why it exerts its most terrifying power in the middle of the battlefield.

The experience of a fallen comrade becoming undead and coming back to life and attacking him was something he could never get used to.

‘The mere existence of these guys lowers their morale.’

And the more powerful a necromancer is the more he can embody his appearance in life.

‘And a corpse filled with resentment and hatred is their best weapon.’

A high-ranking necromancer can enhance the ability of a corpse to revive the dead beyond its original level.

It’s like how knights and warriors use auras to strengthen their weapons.

Of course if the corpse is too strong when alive its full strength cannot be restored.

‘There’s one more thing.’

If a necromancer’s best weapon is a corpse with dark emotions such as resentment despair hatred and envy then on the other hand they cannot handle a corpse with nobility.

Even if the dead are brought back to life they will not follow control and will resist.

In a sense it is like a dull weapon.

Of course it is difficult to bring out the power of a corpse.

‘When Lysinas became light and fought against Erebos and Tartarus noble heroes were born.’

Guided by the light and hope presented by Lisinas.

Countless heroes were born.

That’s why Lisinas is special.

They deceived and lied to people saying there was light and hope that did not exist.

And Lisinas who eventually made it true was literally the savior of the world.

If the brave Aron is a symbol of courage.

Risinas the king of wisdom is a symbol of salvation and hope.

‘Well it’s an ability I’ll never be able to imitate.’

In any case the existence of Lishinas itself deprived the Demon King’s legions of powerful weapons.

So Atkan the Grand Duke of Jangsong came up with a plan.

Let’s use Raysar to produce corpses that they can use.

That was the reason why orphan disease was born.

‘The resentment and hatred that the orphan soldiers harbored was great.’

Even though we had to trample on each other to survive.

Nevertheless the bond between the orphan soldiers was strong.

It’s useless if you die before you get stronger.

Therefore Atkan who led the plan brainwashed the orphan soldiers so that they could rely on each other.

Giving your own food to a hungry colleague is also a bad thing.

During training it was not uncommon to see people sacrificing themselves to save their colleagues.

For orphans each other was their reason for living.

‘The more you lose a comrade the stronger your resentment and hatred become.’

Initially Tartarus is where the tip of the sword of resentment and hatred is directed.

‘But the moment they are driven into war as expendables and die the orphan soldiers realize that.’

That they are beings who live only to die.

Seeing the necromancer harvesting them resentment and hatred explode.

‘It was terrible.’

One of Kyle’s students.

That was the reason why Bihar ultimately failed to come out into the light even though the era of disaster was over.

‘Because he was also an orphan soldier.’

Kyle hoped that when everything would end his disciple would live in the light.

He told me not to walk down the dark path he had walked.

Nevertheless Bihar ultimately chose to remain in the dark and became a shadow.

‘I couldn’t have ended up like Berkia.’

Born under a gray sky Kyle’s two disciples.

Among them Berkia headed toward the light and Bihar headed toward the darkness.

Leo who felt his appetite growing bitter as he thought about Bihar took his eyes off the orphan soldiers.

“Why are those children under Crown Prince Jeremy’s care? “It doesn’t even look that unusual.”

The momentum it emits is unusual.

“I forcibly brought in these children who Duke Dotarn was raising in secret.”

“Did you give it to me obediently?”

“no. “But I couldn’t bear to watch him commit such a terrible act.”

Leo said looking at Jeremin with anger in his eyes.

“How much do you know about these kids?”

“All I know is that they were raised to send orphans to war.”

“The existence itself is a secret even within the country right?”

“exactly. “If I had known you were committing such atrocities I wouldn’t have left you alone.”

Leo looked at the orphan soldiers as he looked at Jeremin who spoke firmly.

‘Actually if that Duke of Dotar had known what kind of children they were he would never have handed them over to the crown prince.’

The Crown Prince and Duke who were ordinary people did not notice.

‘Each one of those orphan soldiers is stronger than any knight. They have all already become Aurors. Two or three people are at the level of being able to enter Rumern.’

In a small kingdom like Canel this is a powerful force that could lead to a rebellion.

The northeastern part of the continent is a place where war is constant.

As such supplying orphans would have been easy.

“How would the Crown Prince want those children to live?”

“It may be difficult but I hope to live a life far away from war.”

The Crown Prince sent his condolences.

He lost his parents in the war was taken prisoner and underwent terrible training.

I was truly sorry about that.

‘At least it looks like the crown prince has become human.’

He is a king who cannot be compared to the debauched kings and ministers of this country.

“Can we really hand over the legacy left by the Nether Knight to Rumern?”

“Of course. In fact even if we have it in our country it is obvious that we will not be able to use it properly. “No matter how great your heritage is if you can’t utilize it it’s worthless right?”

Jeremin crossed his arms and grinned.

“It would be good if our kingdom’s relics were managed in Lumern. Besides I have to be king to give you the key. Wouldn’t it be of great help to maintain a business relationship with the hero Leo Plov until then?”

“You thought that far.”

As Lil opened his eyes Jeremin grinned.

“Those kids don’t know much about heroes or heroic stories. So I also want to help people meet real heroes.”

Jeremin bowed his head to Leo with a serious face.

“Please Leo Plov. Please help those children live a normal life.”

No matter how small the kingdom it is not easy for someone as big as the crown prince to bow his head.

Even if it means reaching the status of a hero.

Leo said while looking at the crown prince.

“All right.”

“Thank you I really appreciate it!”

Jeremin smiled brightly.

Leo said while looking at him.

“Anyway I knew of the existence of those children. “I can’t leave it alone either.”

***

The orphan soldiers lined up neatly and waited for Leo and Lil.

Their eyes turned to Leo.

There were scars all over his face.

Their eyes were all sharp.

The orphan soldiers were watching Leo closely.

‘The average age is around 13 to 14 years old.’

I was still very young.

Among them there were some who were at a level worthy of admission to Rumern even if they were only able to do chin-ups.

‘The other guys will be able to rise to that level depending on what they do in the future. Of course his personality doesn’t match Lumern’s at all.’

Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you can enter Lumern.

“You want to go to the battlefield?”

The boy in front answered Leo’s question.

“yes. Are you the one who will send us into battle?”

Leo chuckled at the boy’s question.

“no.”

The boy’s eyes twitched at those words.

“Why on earth do you want to go to battle?”

“It’s to get revenge on those who put us in this situation!”

“They said there were people on the battlefield who killed my parents!”

“I killed my friend and came here because of those bastards!”

“I will kill you!”

A hateful voice burst out.

Lil who saw that raised his hand.

“Now calm down. everyone.”

“It’s not something that you who have grown up well should interfere with right?”

At that time the girl next to the boy shouted fiercely.

“Isn’t it better for you if you break down all your enemies?”

A girl with a particularly harsh tone revealed her cruelty to Leo and Lil as well.

It was when Lil looked embarrassed when he saw that.

At that time Leo chuckled.

“Okay if you want it that much I’ll send it to you.”

“Master!”

Lil called out to Leo in a panicked voice.

Leo said bringing Lil in front of him and pushing him towards the orphan soldiers.

“Instead if you defeat this kid I’ll let you go.”

At Leo’s words the orphan soldiers’ bloody gaze turned to Lil.

Lil looked embarrassed.

“Master Shi. “You’re fighting all of a sudden?”

“It’s my first command as a teacher.”

“laugh?!”

“Bring these kids into submission.”

Lil nodded at Leo’s words.

Lil with an enthusiastic expression on his face stood in front of the orphan soldiers.

“Go for it.”

At those words the boy and girl in front looked at each other’s faces and nodded.

The girl was the first to step forward.

The girl who performed a trick by swinging the dagger in her hand spoke in a fierce voice.

“You better be prepared noble sister.”

Lil said while looking at that girl.

“Who told you to attack alone?”

“Why are you going to deal with the two of us alone…?”

“Everyone here should attack at once.”

“what?”

All the orphan soldiers had dumbfounded expressions.

Lil said with an expressionless face.

“I will show you how helpless you are.”

***

‘I told you to submit but you’re trying to fight them all at once. Even though it seems timid it is secretly large in scale.’

Leo smiled while looking at Lil and turned around.

The reason why Leo entrusted the orphan soldiers to Lille was simple.

‘It’s best to deal with someone a few years older than you.’

No matter how he looked on the outside Leo had a huge mental age gap with the orphan soldiers.

‘It’s better to leave communication to peers. Moreover in a sense Lil’s values ​​are completely different from those of the orphan soldiers.’

Those who know darkness can understand darkness.

However it is difficult for those who have bought the light to understand the darkness.

‘It’s better for kids like that to break apart by colliding head-on with ideas that are different from their own.’

Crucially Leo had work to do.

Leo’s red eyes flashed.

‘If there are orphan soldiers raised in this way in this country it means that the Grand Duke of Jangson is hiding somewhere in this country.’

In Leo’s eyes life was dull and young.

‘Shall we start hunting?’
