Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 532



532.

Shaking eyes.

Closed lips.

A tightly clenched fist.

Eiran’s face seen in the dark was full of anxiety.

“When was the last time you slept properly?”

“…about a week ago.”

Leo sighed deeply in response to Eiran’s answer.

Then he got up and turned on the magic lamp on one side of the tent.

Leo took the towel hanging on one side and brushed Eiran’s wet hair.

“Oh I…”

“Stay still.”

Leo spoke harshly and roughly dried Eiran’s hair.

After some of the moisture had dried on his head Leo walked over to the sleeping bag sat down and asked.

“Are you very worried about Berkia?”

Eiran bowed his head in response to Leo’s question.

“I know I have to stop him.”

Eiran spoke softly.

“But I have no idea what to say or how to stop him.”

Eiran trembled as he held both arms as if embracing his own body.

“That’s why I’m so scared. I think it might be the Berkia I know. I’m afraid he’ll never open his eyes. “I’m afraid that Berkia will harm Leo.”

As Eiran I can’t help but feel dizzy.

The fall of someone who was his longing and goal.

And the fear that someone you respect might harm another person you respect.

I couldn’t sleep because of the anxiety that filled my head.

I’ve been trying to get my mind together somehow for the past week.

But it failed.

That’s why I came to see Leo.

Looking at Eiran like that Leo sighed deeply.

‘It’s bound to be difficult.’

For Eiran it would be a heartbreaking situation.

The pressure of the current situation is too great to be considered weak.

The situation was a little different with Runia and Chen Xia.

How would Chen Xia react if she had to defeat Leo who was resurrected as an undead?

What if you need Runia to defeat Luna?

‘It would be the same situation for Eiran.’

It was too much pressure for Eiran who was still a young girl to handle.

Leo looked at Eyran in silence.

‘What should I say?’

Should he say that he will not fall if he has defeated Berkia?

‘No words will be of comfort in the current situation.’

It was not possible to hastily say that Berkia would regain its original appearance.

Eiran knows very well that this is something that is close to impossible.

Anxiety depletes the mind.

The silence and darkness that came at night would have made Eiran even more fearful.

However I couldn’t tell this story to Runia and Chen Xia.

Although they didn’t show it because they were thinking about Eiran the two of them were equally anxious about the current situation.

There was no way to harm the two people who were working hard to get their minds together.

Eiran tried to overcome it on his own but in the end he couldn’t overcome his anxiety and came to see Leo.

The only person I can rely on in this situation.

Eiran who was shaking raised his head and looked into Leo’s red eyes.

“Is it difficult?”

Eiran grits his teeth and composes himself in response to Leo’s question.

‘You shouldn’t rely on Leo either.’

Eiran knows.

That Leo doesn’t just see himself as a hero candidate.

As long as Leo is a great hero.

In the future Leo will definitely have a decisive battle with Erebos and Tartarus.

And Leo chose Eiran as the hero to fight on that battlefield.

‘That’s why I can’t be more foolish.’

If you rely on Leo every time you have a hard time you will end up being nothing but a burden.

‘I have to overcome this alone.’

Eiran forced a smile.

“It was hard but I’ll do my best….”

“If you’re tired go to sleep.”

“yes?”

“There is no need to force yourself to endure difficult things.”

“But how long can I rely on Leo?”

“No. But it’s okay now.”

Leo said calmly.

“Because adults are there to help you when you’re having a hard time. so? “Would you like to tell me your favorite old story?”

Eiran who had a slightly dazed look on his face unconsciously said ‘Foot!’ He burst out laughing.

“Leo no matter what I’m not a complete child.”

“Do you not want to hear it?”

“Still I want to hear it.”

Eiran answered in a slightly brighter voice.

Leo looked at Eiran and took out another spare sleeping bag from subspace.

It was time for Eiran to get into his sleeping bag.

“Hmm~ Looks like nothing much will happen.”

“Huh?”

Eiran was startled and turned around at the sound of a voice coming from behind.

There was Chen Xia squatting down and looking at Eiran with her eyes wide open.

“Miss Xixia. “Since when has it been around?”

“From the beginning.”

Chen Xia grinned.

“You never know what might happen if a man and a woman are together at night right?”

“Do I look like that kind of guy?”

When Leo clicked his tongue Chen Xia shook his head.

“I believe in Master Leo. “The person I don’t trust is Ms. Eiran.”

Eiran opened his eyes wide at those words and asked with wide eyes.

“You are too much. No matter how much I like reading I don’t do anything strange! Do I look like an elf who will secretly visit Leo late at night and seduce him?”

“Yes she looks like an elf.”

Eiran burst into tears at the answer without any hesitation.

“Can I sleep here too?”

“Why you?”

“It would be a big problem if Miss Eiran attacked Master Leo.”

“I’m not that kind of elf!”

Eiran was crying and grabbed Chen Xia and shook her violently.

Leo burst out laughing as he saw that.

“It reminds me of the old days.”

Bihar also often made fun of Berkia like that.

Looking at the descendants of his disciples Leo opened his mouth recalling past memories.

“Would you like to tell me about the first time you met Berkia and Bihar?”

Eiran and Chen Xia who were bickering over those words sat in front of Leo.

Time passed while listening to the stories of our ancestors.

***

Early morning.

Before I knew it the snowstorm had stopped.

Runia woke up and took a deep breath.

‘I don’t know if Eiran will be okay.’

As a close friend Runia also knew that Eiran was not in good condition.

‘I want to cheer you up somehow.’

However Runia could not hastily comfort Eiran.

Runia also truly respects the ancestors of the Lundua family.

Her ancestors who worked hard to pass on the flame of the torch to future generations have always been one of her prides.

What if such an ancestor is resurrected as an undead due to the evil spirit king’s trick?

I can’t even imagine what it must be like.

‘If you bring up the story hastily you may cause even more harm.’

Runia took a deep breath and opened her sleeping bag.

Ji-i-ik-!

Runia stood up after opening the zipper and looked embarrassed.

“What is E? Chen Xia?”

The two people had disappeared.

As Runia looked perplexed a voice was heard from outside the tent.

“Can’t you come back later?”

‘ah.’

Runia who thought something had happened overnight sighed in relief.

And Eiran’s voice became brighter.

Runia who was getting up from her seat immediately perked up her ears at the voice she heard.

“No. “Leo you should sleep too.”

“Can’t I just sleep with Leo?”

“I said it couldn’t be done. We were together all night. “Captain Leo couldn’t sleep because of us so we should give him at least a short rest.”

“Leo made us unable to sleep. “How can I sleep if you do that?”

“Um… I guess so. It was definitely a fun time.”

Runia froze at the sound of conversation coming from outside.

The tent door opened and Eiran and Chen Xia came in.

And when Eiran found Runia frozen and gaping her eyes widened.

“Miss Runia you woke up early.”

“Uh huh… Eiran seems to be feeling a little better?”

“yes! I’m sorry for causing you worry. “Miss Runia.”

Runia smiled awkwardly as she looked at Eiran who had an apologetic expression on her face.

“Oh no. are you okay. By the way… are you coming from Leo’s tent?”

“yes. It’s embarrassing but I was comforted by Leo all night long. Thanks to that I was able to forget a lot of my worries and concerns.”

“Thanks to Miss Eiran’s foolishness Master Leo couldn’t sleep.”

“Miss Xia was with you.”

Eiran grumbled in a loud voice.

As Runia listened to the conversation between the two her voice began to tremble rapidly.

“You you you! “Do you know what you have done now?”

“yes? That’s right I spent the whole night with Leo… Oh shouldn’t you have gone with Miss Runia instead of leaving her alone? sorry! “I didn’t even think about it… I’ll definitely go with you next time.”

When Eiran looked apologetic Runia whose face was as red as her own hair began to throw a fit.

“You guys! A student!”

“Miss Runia?”

“What on earth did the student do? Leo! Even though he is an adult! No! Being an adult isn’t the problem in the first place! three? Seeh? Three of us!? All night long?! Next time me too?!”

“Miss Lu Lunia? Why are you doing this? “Calm down!”

“subsidence? Why are you doing this? You are the honor students of Seilun and Rumern! Behave neatly! Do you think it makes sense to do something like that and then look like you don’t know what the problem is?”

Eiran said with a frightened face as he looked at Runia who raised her eyes with a bright red face.

“I just heard old stories from Leo?!”

“No matter how many books I’ve read like that… huh?!”

Runia who was shouting looked embarrassed for a moment.

And after a while.

With a slightly white face his shoulders began to shake.

“Ah that’s what I was thinking.”

Chen Xia smiled brightly.

“Miss Runia has a very rich imagination. “I never thought I would think that way.”

“Oh no I mean. I… that…”

Looking at Runia who was sweating profusely Eiran realized the situation and opened his eyes round.

Then he narrowed his eyes.

“Miss Runia.”

“I’m sorry. So me!”

“It’s bad quality.”

“….”

At those words Runia lowered her head.

Runia whose shoulders were shaking threw a fit again and attacked Eiran.

“This is all because you usually see a lot of strange things!”

“Why is it my fault?! “Miss Runia something is going on in your head!”

“Ahhhh! I don’t know! It’s your fault! “It’s your fault!”

Chen Xia smiled as she looked at the two elves screaming at each other.

“Shh Leo can hear everything.”

At those words the two people’s voices stopped.

Chen Xia smiled and approached Runia.

“I’m glad the misunderstanding has been resolved.”

“That’s right.”

“But I’m just curious. How far did you imagine?”

Runia’s shoulders began to tremble again.

I want to pull that smiling mouth.

“Tell me a story. yes?”

‘This guy has a really bad personality.’

Runia couldn’t help but cover her face as she saw Chen Xia teasing her with a smile.
