Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 530



530.

Leo opened his mouth as he looked at Rune who was politely bowing towards him.

“How did you know?”

A voice filled with a bit of doubt.

Seeing Leo not denying what he said Rune smiled and answered.

“As the hero of the beginning knows age shows many things.”

“Unfortunately I didn’t live as long as you. “I understood what it meant though.”

Rune smiled bitterly at Leo who shrugged his shoulders.

“I thought it was a little strange.”

From the first time they met Rune felt something in Leo’s eyes.

It was far from the feeling that he was simply intelligent or that he had a bright future as if he would grow into a great tycoon.

The eyes of someone who has experienced all the hardships of childbirth.

Absolute hero candidate. That wasn’t the kind of eyes a first-year student would have.

Leo’s actions were also surprising.

The most surprising thing is that the ‘magic of flowering’ left behind by Seongwoon’s founder has been restored.

It wasn’t a typical restoration either.

Rune was also an elf who had studied star magic his entire life.

Judging by his depth of understanding of star magic he is an authority who ranks among the top five magicians in existence.

Looking at those runes the flower blooming magic that Leo restored was at a level that could not be called restoration.

“It was as if someone who originally knew about flower-making magic had simply written down the magic he knew.”

It is common for magic that has disappeared and only traces remain to be restored in later generations and re-emerged in the world.

However unless you are from that era it cannot be perfect even if it is restored and activated.

Moreover the magic that makes flowers bloom is a complex magic that is still impossible to properly interpret even a year after it was completely restored.

That’s why Rune was suspicious of Leo’s existence.

Afterwards Leo’s performance as a hero candidate was also unusual.

He was an honor student who stood out but at some point he began acting unbecoming of a hero candidate.

While I was impressed and skeptical about Leo’s performance my granddaughter who had conquered Dweno’s world said with a smile.

‘grandfather! I met Berkia. And you know what! ‘It’s Leo!’

Ever since I heard Eiran talking about the heroic stories of his ancestors and Leo his eyes shining.

And after hearing the news about the second coming of Seilun and the coming of Luna I started thinking about the existence of Leo even more.

The conclusion reached after unraveling the complicated clues one by one.

That was the fact that Leo was Kyle the hero of the beginning.

“When I thought about it I realized there was nothing strange about it. Kyle the hero of the beginning is an unprecedented all-class player. And there are only two people in the history of the world who were All Class.”

Kyle and Leo.

“Even though his name was listed on the hero record he did not receive a title. “When I thought about it I realized that if I ‘already’ have a title… I don’t need a new title.”

“indeed.”

“Besides there are no absolutes. “Anything can happen in this day and age.”

The appearance of a corps commander who was subjugated during the era of disaster.

And in the past heroes came back from the dead.

There are also people whose names are expunged from hero records.

Moreover great heroes such as Luna the progenitor of the nebula and Seirun the hero of the comet Aron appear in this world.

“In that situation I thought it wouldn’t be strange for the hero of the beginning to be reborn in this world. “You were always there in the moments of miracles.”

Moreover Leo himself continued to achieve feats that would be difficult for others to accomplish in their lifetime.

Among them there are some that can be called miracles.

“Even so it wouldn’t have been easy to guess right?”

“Magic begins with not ruling out possibilities. “This is what Berkia left behind in the family.”

“That’s what Luna said to that Berkia guy.”

Leo recalled an old incident.

“Even the moment you leave on your final journey.”

“It looks like Luna’s magic views have been passed on to Berkia.”

“Nothing is impossible Luna from the moment she was born. If it can’t be done make it happen. This is the guy who got it stuck in my head. I’ve never really had a magic idea. “I just nagged Berkia until the end because he wouldn’t listen to me.”

Rune smiled while looking at Leo who spoke indifferently.

‘Just let me be impressed.’

How good would a painting be if it were the teacher’s last words of advice and encouragement to his student?

“Are we going to leave to our descendants the nagging nagging that we have been hearing? “You’re out of your mind.”

Of course Leo was so touched and embarrassed that he broke all the pain.

Leo sat down on the chair looking at Rune with a warm smile.

And then he asked Rune about his body.

“Have you met Berkia?”

“yes.”

“….”

Leo closed his eyes.

‘You must have been disappointed.’

No matter how great the rune was it must have been a shock that the ancestor who was considered great became a dead person.

And it was clear that Berkia was the one who defeated Rune.

Who wouldn’t be disappointed by the rampaging ancestors?

It was when Leo chewed his lips.

“I can guess what the hero of the beginning is thinking. But you don’t have to worry.”

“what?”

Leo looked at Rune with slightly surprised eyes at Rune’s calm words.

Looking at Leo like that Rune smiled.

“I am not disappointed in Berkia. No one from the Ersar family will be disappointed by Berkia.”

Leo looked at Rune in silence.

To Rune it didn’t feel like a lie.

“As the hero of the beginning knows I am an old man.”

Grunting – Rune stood up and hit his back with a thud.

Although he may look young Rune’s body is old.

Age can be felt in those eyes and the depth of time can be felt in the mana that is secretly exuded.

“I have lived long enough to know that the world is not just beautiful. And that no one is perfect in this world.”

Rune’s eyes sank.

“I’m just sad. “The Berkia I met had very clear eyes.”

As the head of the Ersar family Rune once conquered the world of Berkia.

And there I met Berkia.

That’s why I know the runes.

What a great person King Seonjo was.

And what a warm person he is.

Rune said feeling extreme sadness.

“Do you know what happened to my ancestor Hero of the Beginning?”

Leo approached the portrait of Berkia hanging on one side of the office.

Berkia in the picture had an expressionless expression.

He’s naturally expressionless… but somehow he looks sharp.

It must be a picture of what it was like after that tragedy.’

Leo opened his mouth looking at the student in the picture.

He told me the truth that was not even told to the Ersar family whom I had seen through the Akasha Records.

Rune’s hands trembled after hearing the story to the end.

Rune said closing her eyes tightly.

“If I can I want to ease his sadness and pain.”

Rune bit her lips tightly.

“But my voice won’t reach Berkia.”

Rune clenched his fists.

Probably no one in the world can do this.

Except for the one person in front of me.

Rune bowed her head towards Leo.

“Hero of the beginning I know this is a shameless request from a later generation. But please. Please… please save Berkia. Please comfort his pain.”

‘Even though 5000 years have passed… your descendants respect and love you Berkia even though they do not know you well and have been treated harshly by you.’

I could feel Rune’s unwavering respect for Berkia.

This is not simply because Berkia is the progenitor of the Ersar family.

Aside from that I know very well that Berkia is a person who deserves respect.

The world has forgotten the feat that Berkia accomplished.

The feat of following in the footsteps of great heroes rebuilding the world and saving the world from the brink of despair once again.

It’s not because the world is ignoring Berkia.

As time passes everything is naturally forgotten.

However the people of the Ersar family never forgot that fact.

Generation after generation.

Berkia’s great achievements were passed on to their descendants.

‘The power and history of the Ersar family could have prevented Berkia from being forgotten in history but they did not do that.’

There was not a single person like that.

‘He probably wanted to continue Berkia’s legacy.’

A noble life of silent sacrifice for the world.

You probably thought it didn’t matter if no one noticed.

Because the world is valuable in itself.

The people of the Ersar family foolishly respected their ancestor’s will and followed in his footsteps.

‘I am proud of you. But if I had left descendants I wouldn’t have become like your descendants.’

Leo gritted his teeth.

‘But it’s okay to be selfish at least once right?’

In the life Leo saw of Berkia Berkia never cared for himself even for a single moment.

Never once did he consider what he had accomplished to be special.

He always humbled himself and never lost his attitude to work harder.

The image I saw through the Akasha Record is still etched in my eyes.

If Berkia’s original personality had been like that it wouldn’t have been this sad.

‘Just wait and see. When the era of peace comes I will become more famous than Master Kyle and overshadow Master Kyle’s reputation. Future generations will hear that Kyle is worse than other great heroes. hemp cloth-!’

I remember the obnoxious way he stuck out his tongue and scoffed every now and then.

‘I used to say that when the era of peace came I would become a great person and like Luna I would become a great person whose name would be remembered by future generations for the rest of my life.’

However even though he achieved a feat that would be widely known to future generations he could not raise his head as if he had done something wrong.

Like apologizing to someone.

Instead of being able to fully enjoy what he should have enjoyed he constantly beat himself up.

As if being chased by something.

He dedicated his life to the world.

It would have been the same in Bihar as well.

‘We passed the burden on to you.’

The moment I defeated Erebos and closed my eyes for the last time.

Leo didn’t have a care in the world.

Because he believed in his disciples.

Even without confidence I had no doubt that I would be able to regain my previous self.

And the two of them raised the world on a rock both in bright and dark places.

For life.

I didn’t expect that the two of them including Leo would not be able to escape from the sense of duty that they have to take responsibility for the world that the great hero saved.

Like Lisinas.

Like Luna.

Like Aron.

Like Dweno.

Like Kyle.

I thought I should live a life devoted to the world.

‘You guys didn’t have to live like that.’

Leo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

This is a generation that was deprived of what other great heroes except Aron enjoyed.

Berkia and Bihar were a generation that could not even enjoy it.

He was desperate because he had been taken away.

If the great heroes survived.

Even the Risinas would not have lived as desperately as Berkia and Bihar.

They overlooked that the world that was natural to Kyle was an unknown world to them.

You don’t have to take responsibility for everything.

I should have told you that you just need to find your own life and live together.

The lives of the two people who couldn’t learn it were too harsh.

‘We took your lives.’

And the descendants of the disciples are carrying that heavy burden.

The descendants of Bihar lived their whole lives in darkness.

Berkia’s descendants lived their whole lives with humility.

Berkia and Bihar.

Are these two inferior to the great hero?

Can we say that we are inferior to the heroes of Gaebyeok?

“There is one condition.”

“Please tell me.”

“Don’t live like Berkia.”

“yes?”

Rune who lowered his head looked at Leo with surprised eyes.

“I have a rough idea of ​​how the Ersar family lived for 5000 years.”

Leo’s eyes sank.

“It must have existed as a cornerstone supporting the world… the race of elves.”

Leo who was looking at the runes looked back at Berkia.

“I never taught you to sacrifice everything. Your family has done its best. “You… the Ersar family… are a famous family of heroes greater than anyone else in the world.”

Leo said as if declaring.

“I don’t have to humble you any more.”

“….”

Rune lowered his head.

My eyes are red without me knowing why.

‘It’s all because they’re old.’

But the work they have been doing silently for 5000 years.

Their hearts trembled at the fact that their history was recognized by someone other than themselves.

“I’m sure Berkia would want that too.”

‘Forefathers of the family. ‘Is there anything more glorious than this?’
