Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 518



518.

“Are you prepared to die?”

Eliza narrowed her eyes and looked at Leo.

“I know very well that you subjected Celia Gerdinger and Chelsea Llewallin to harsh training.”

As Eliza said that the corner of her mouth curled up.

“Do you think I haven’t even had that much training?”

Even today Celia and Chelsea continue to train.

However I did not train with Leo like before.

This is because each person continued to train on their own without Leo paying attention to them.

And after seeing the intensity of Celia and Chelsea’s training other students also increased the intensity of their personal training.

As a result Eliza also underwent training just as harsh as Celia and Chelsea.

Leo crossed his arms as he saw Eliza snorting.

“I haven’t given you two any particularly harsh training have I?”

“What?”

“I gave them some tough training but I never pushed them to the point where they were called harsh.”

Eliza’s eyes fluttered at those words.

‘This human.’

Eliza always pretended like nothing was wrong but she pushed herself to the limit.

I gritted my teeth when I saw Leo calling it ‘a bit difficult’ training.

“Well it looks like physical training is necessary but it’s not the kind of training you need to risk your life for.”

“Then what do you want me to do?”

In response to Eliza’s question Leo opened his palm.

It’s so scary!

Eliza’s eyes widened when she saw the pure white lightning that appeared in Leo’s hand.

“The power of Pegasus? But this level of purity?”

The Hergin family is a family that has made contracts with powerful hwansu for generations.

As such those who were born with the qualities to make an oath with the three great Hwansu were appointed as oath makers.

Eliza was like that too.

Her spiritual power was compatible with Pegasus.

Therefore Eliza’s future pledge had been decided since she was young and as such she had met that pledge several times.

Of course we never talked or talked.

The three major Hwansu are basically opponents with strong pride.

Even if he was a future contractor he didn’t want to talk to someone who wasn’t even currently qualified.

However even so it was recognized that the power of the thunderbolt in Leo’s hand could not be compared to the power of other Pegasus.

Leo said while looking at Eliza who was swallowing dry saliva.

“This is the essence of lightning.”

“The essence of lightning? “Wait a minute that’s…!”

Eliza’s eyes filled with astonishment.

“that’s right.”

Leo has captured the essence of lightning.

“It is the essence of the power of the Pegasus kings whose masters were cut off at the end of 5000 years ago.”

“How do you have that?”

“It was a reward for conquering Hero Records.”

“When did you get it?”

When Eliza asked with a serious face Leo answered calmly.

“That’s a trade secret.”

Eliza narrowed her eyes at those words and glanced back at Carl.

Then Carl shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

‘So Carl Thomas didn’t know either. Even so it is the essence of lightning.’

It was not easy to believe.

But Eliza at least knows that Leo is not the kind of person who lies about things like this.

In addition there is a case where Runia of Seirun revived the power of the Phoenix King after 5000 years as a reward for completing the Hero Record.

‘There’s no way Leo Plov shouldn’t do that.’

“You really have no limits.”

Leo said as Eliza burst out laughing.

“Not really. That’s why you need strong colleagues.”

Leo who looked down at his hands and spoke calmly opened his mouth.

“If it’s a case like Runia El Lund’a why are you hiding that fact?”

“To be exact it’s different from Runia.”

“How is it different?”

“In Runia’s case she overcame the ordeal given by the Phoenix King and obtained the flame. “He may not be a phoenix but he is the successor to King Phoenix.”

Therefore Runia’s flame is the flame itself.

It is a power that he was able to acquire because he is the heir of a family that has passed down the flame of purification that has burned down unclean things from generation to generation.

“On the other hand mine is literally a strategy reward.”

At first glance it may not seem like there is much difference but the reality is different.

In Runia’s case it is the Phoenix King’s flame itself.

He can emit the flame of the Phoenix King with only his pure spiritual power.

In addition you can strengthen the power of the contracted Phoenix and further maximize its power by incorporating it into magic.

Unlike him Leo needs Pegasus to properly bring out the power of Thunder’s essence.

‘Furthermore it is a power that causes considerable pain to Pegasus with whom I have made an oath.’

This is the limit of those who obtained power through a trick called Hero Records rather than legitimate users.

“Crucially Runia can transfer that power to someone else when she wants but not me.”

“Huh so? “It seems like helping me is definitely related to the essence of that thunderbolt.”

“that’s right. “Even if I can’t handle it perfectly I can accelerate your growth.”

“So you’re saying that you can forcibly awaken my potential?”

“okay.”

“joy. “That’s why I’m asking about your readiness to die.”

Eliza curled the corners of her mouth.

I understood Leo’s intention exactly.

‘shortcut.’

Not all shortcuts are good.

‘There is no such thing as a safe shortcut.’

Eliza is a summoner.

And unlike aurors and magic the essence of a summoner is a ‘contract.’ am.

That’s why I know it well.

There is balance in this world.

If you go fast there is a price to pay.

And in the case of forced awakening of talent the cost of failure is terrible.

‘Either become a nuisance at worst or in the worst case scenario die.’

Forced awakening is inherently risky.

In the first place the forced awakening itself was out of line so there is no way it could be safe.

‘If that’s the case it must be a true cult.’

Eliza looked down at her hands.

‘Is it right to get help from Leo Plov?’

From Eliza’s perspective it is a disgrace.

It was something that shattered my pride.

but….

‘I don’t like being left behind alone.’

As Leo said I didn’t know that time would solve everything.

But when you jump over the wall what about others?

Maybe like you you might hit a wall and be caught up with yourself.

But on the other hand you can jump over the wall… or break it and go forward.

‘I hate that more than dying.’

Eliza’s eyes sparkled.

‘I am the heir of the Hergin family.’

Celia Durant Chen Cia Chloe Abad and Chelsea Warrenden flashed through my mind.

Finally I saw Leo’s face in front of me.

‘If it’s not the best it’s meaningless.’

It wasn’t the childish stubbornness of a teenage girl.

‘You have to get on the best stage. Both as a summoner and as a hero.’

This was the goal that a would-be hero named Eliza Hergin lived for.

There is someone in front of you that you may not be able to reach even if you chase after them your whole life.

It is literally a huge wall of despair.

But in another sense it meant that I had a goal that I could keep running for even if I ran for the rest of my life.

‘There is no time to sit here. Even at this very moment this person is moving away.’

There is a way to avoid wandering around but staying still because it is dangerous.

That was a greater humiliation than receiving help.

“What can I do?”

At those words Leo held out his hand.

It’s so scary!

The essence of lightning has been revealed.

“Hold it.”

At those words Eliza took a deep breath and held Leo’s hand.

“Wow?!”

And that moment.

Eliza’s body became stiff after being electrocuted and she closed her eyes and fainted.

In my fading consciousness I heard Karl’s urgent voice.

Eliza muttered to herself as she lost consciousness.

‘This… won’t be easy.’

***

“Isn’t it too dangerous?”

Carl takes Eliza who fainted back to the dormitory.

While Leo was sitting alone on the bench Chen Xia appeared from behind and asked with a slightly worried look.

“It’s dangerous.”

Leo said calmly.

“You don’t plan on adjusting the intensity of your training appropriately do you?”

“doesn’t exist. If you do something like that Eliza will probably take it as a humiliation right?”

Leo asked Chen Xia who sat next to him.

“Imagine you were in the same situation as Eliza. “Do you feel good if I take care of you and train you?”

“…no. Instead they will get angry.”

“Look at that. “You guys are so upset that you are little kids and can’t imitate adults.”

“Now you’re openly acting like an old man? And I’m not imitating an adult I’m being adult-like. “Don’t treat me like a child.”

When Chen Xia who came to Leo’s side with open eyes gave him a scolding look Leo said sharply:

“Adults don’t get angry even if they are offended by consideration. “Little one.”

Leo pinched Chen Xia’s nose with his hand.

Chen Xia said plugging her nose and pouting her lips.

“It’s late at night aren’t you coming in?”

“I’m upset. “I want to enjoy the night breeze more.”

Chen Xia smiled bitterly.

‘You must be lonely and having a hard time because Luna left.’

It has to be that way.

I met a friend who risked his life to save the world and we parted ways over 5000 years.

Moreover Luna had special feelings for Leo.

‘I don’t know exactly what Leo feels.’

It was clear that Leo also had complicated feelings about Luna.

‘It must be difficult for Master Leo too. ‘Should I offer some words of comfort?’

Although he is said to be a great hero Leo is also human.

It was clear that he would show weakness when he was having a hard time.

‘How should I comfort you?’

“I think I might have to ask you a slightly awkward favor because of Luna.”

‘Is this a bit of an awkward request for you Luna?’

Chen Xia rolled her eyes.

‘Miss Eiran said ‘When the mind is lonely the body also becomes lonely.’ A book called… No matter how you look at it it is a book banned from being brought into Rumern.’

‘How did you find it!’

‘And the same goes for the book ‘History is Made at Night’ here.’

‘Aaaaaaaah!’

Thinking back to the books she found when she went to Eiran’s dorm room Chen Xia slowly lifted her hips and walked over to Leo and sat down.

“Master Leo I am an adult. It’s okay if you ask me an awkward favor. No I will follow whatever commands Leo gives me.”

“okay? “I want to borrow the power of the Shan Empire.”

Chen Xia who blinked her big eyes a few times at those words smiled.

“…It’s your job as a shadow.”

“that’s right.”

‘It’s a big deal. I guess I was influenced too much by Miss Eyran. ‘I feel like my head has gone a little crazy.’

Chen Xia licked her lips and sighed.

“It looks like Berkia has been resurrected as an undead.”

But when I heard Leo’s words later my face froze.

“Ber… Are you Kia?”

“okay.”

Leo continued speaking with a stern expression.

“It seems like they are operating in the shadows. If you’re resurrected as an undead… you’re probably not doing any good. So can you find the traces?”

“yes. all right.”

After answering Chen Xia immediately disappeared into the darkness.

Sitting on the bench Leo looked at the full moon and took a deep breath.
