Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 571



571.

“ruler! Pick! Pick! “It’s a specialty of Lumeria City!”

“South of a distant continent! “The rare food of the beast people from the desert land has arrived!”

“Come and see the jewelry made by dwarven craftsmen!”

“This is mithril cloth woven by the elves.”

Countless merchants who filled Lumeria City continued to solicit customers.

As it was the center of the world and the city where Lumern is located it was always a city crowded with merchants and people but this time the atmosphere was quite different.

In normal times most merchants in Lumeria City were human.

But now merchants of many races had established themselves.

It is difficult to see merchants of various races gathering on this scale anywhere in the world.

However now in a special situation where a world festival called the Festival of Heroes has been held the fact that four hero military academies have gathered to compete against each other has made all races flock to the event.

Where people gather merchants gather.

Therefore it was not unreasonable for this many merchants to gather.

Even if they are of the same race conflicts are bound to arise when a large number of people gather.

Moreover if several races with different values ​​gathered together there was no way that conflict could be avoided.

“hey! hey! “How many times do I have to tell you not to come over here for them to understand?”

The human merchant was threatening the beast merchant with a harsh voice.

“You left it there for a while because you had a lot of luggage right? Besides I’m cleaning it up right now but isn’t that too mean?”

“What is Yabak!” “If you’re going to do business in someone else’s land you have to follow the minimum etiquette!”

The human merchant nervously kicked the boxes that the beast merchant had piled up.

Uddangtangtang!

All the food ingredients prepared by the beastman poured out.

The beast merchant’s eyes turned fierce when he saw that.

“What are you doing?”

The excited beastman bared his fangs and sharpened his nails.)

The human merchant trembled for a moment at the sight but then groaned.

“Oh my gosh this beast is threatening people!”

Both merchants ran street stalls selling street food.

However since the beastmen are a race known throughout the world for their good cooking skills customers rarely came to the human merchant’s stall.

Moreover the price of the Suin version was much cheaper.

Every year when there was an event in Lumeria City he had to sell at high prices for a special occasion so the vendor’s stall which was crowded with customers could not help but be a thorn in his eyes.

When the human merchant made a groaning sound the beast merchant took a step back with an embarrassed expression on his face.

“Oh no! “You take action first…!”

“Oh my~ oh my! “All existing merchants are dying because of foreign merchants!”

It was time for the human merchant to raise his voice as much as possible and make a big noise.

“What do you think happened?”

Someone appeared among the crowd.

“What’s going on?”

The human merchant looked at the clothes of the boy with light orange hair and smiled in remorse.

On the contrary the beast merchant’s face was filled with disappointment.

“Oh my~ Student Lumerun! Check this out! “Why would that beast-like beast treat me like an honest businessman!”

“You did it first!”

When the beastman protested Rumern’s student Karl raised his hand.

“Let’s hear the whole story. “Can you please explain the situation first?”

With those words the merchant merchant explained the situation.

“hmm. hmm. okay.”

Carl nodded and this time it was time to listen to the human merchant’s story.

“Thank you for your hard work before explaining. “First of all take this as pocket money.”

“Oh my something like this.”

Carl smiled slyly as he looked at the human merchant putting a money bag in his arms.

The beast merchant looked at this as if it was disgusting.

Carl nodded after listening to the human merchant’s long explanation.

“okay. “You must have been in trouble.”

“That’s what I said!”

“So please apologize.”

“yes?”

“You might be angry because you lost a customer but you shouldn’t be like that. If you don’t get ripped off in the first place it wouldn’t happen right? “The Festival of Heroes is a festival held with the purpose of promoting harmony between races and having fun for everyone right?”

The human merchant’s shoulders trembled as he looked at the smiling sword.

“If you are a Lumerun student you should side with fellow humans. What are you doing?”

“A hero isn’t someone who takes sides with a specific race right?”

“No I’m even taking the money bag now….”

“Huh? “Wasn’t this pocket money?”

Karl put a money bag on his finger and twirled it around making a sly expression.

“profit! Even if you are a Lumerun student you are only just entering your second year! What is your name? “I will file a formal complaint at the Lumeria City Merchants’ Association!”

In the end the annoyed merchant became angry.

No matter how much of a Lumerne student you are if an unknown student is reported to the Lumeria City Merchants’ Association you could be in quite a difficult situation.

Moreover I looked down on Karl who was polite but seemed easy-going on the inside.

It was when Karl scratched his cheek at the merchant’s words.

“It’s amazing. “Is the street vendor threatening a Lumerun student now?”

Juen a southern girl with light brown skin appeared behind the knife.

Seeing Juen with his arms crossed and his eyes raised the people around him began to murmur.

“Isn’t it Juen Torbina?”

“Lumern 1st year magic department tower?”

Those who recognized Juen began to murmur.

The human merchant who saw this was embarrassed.

“How brave of you to threaten the acting student council president of Rumeren.”

“That’s Eliza Hergin right?”

“Heir of the Hergin family?”

“Anyway wait a minute what? “That student is the acting president of the Lumerun student council?”

The people who heard Eliza’s words looked shocked.

As the situation unfolded the merchant’s face turned white.

“That’s right. I am….”

Eliza said angrily looking at the merchant.

“Tell this to the representatives of the Lumerian City merchant association. “Go to Lumern right now.”

“oh my! I didn’t know you! Please forgive me just this once!”

The merchant fell flat on the floor but Eliza only snorted.

“Now let’s go. “Senior Carl.”

Juen also pushed Karl’s back and left.

Eliza who returned among the crowd said with a pitiful look on her face.

“You can’t even utilize your status properly. That’s stupid Carl Thomas. Of course it’s natural since you’re a commoner.”

“Are you ignoring Senior Karl now? “It’s just that they don’t always put their authority first!”

Eliza looked at Juen who was protesting against her words with cold eyes.

Juen slightly arched his neck at that but then raised his chin in protest.

It was when Eliza was squeezing his hand while looking at Juen like that.

“Sleep stop getting excited.”

Carl stood behind Eliza and placed his hands on her shoulders.

“Let go.”

Eliza got a little nervous and shook off Karl’s hand.

Looking at Eliza Carl raised both hands slyly and shrugged his shoulders.

“You just did that on purpose.”

“What?”

“Merchants are basically people who sacrifice their lives for money.”

Because his family came from an alchemy family and he was involved in commercial activities he was familiar with the behavior of a merchant.

To begin with Karl was also a member of the merchant club and most of the current Rumern first and second year students used Karl’s distribution network when they needed something urgently.

“As this is an unprecedented festival in history the merchant association will want to make a profit.”

Carl shrugged.

“But the Festival of Heroes is not just a competition. “The Hero’s Festival is also a place of harmony that everyone can enjoy.”

Carl recalled Leo’s words.

He said he wanted to create a festival where everyone could gather and enjoy.

Carl stopped walking.

The streets of Lumeria City where countless races come and go were quite different from usual.

‘Yeah… It looks a bit like the Godslawn I saw in Dweno’s world.’

A city from the distant past where people helped each other and lived in harmony.

A legendary city that has now disappeared into history.

‘Maybe Leo truly wants to create a world of harmony.’

This is not simply to prevent division ahead of a huge threat.

‘After we all work together to overcome the crisis we might want to pass on this solidarity to future generations.’

“Surprisingly division and conflict start from small things.”

Carl shrugged his shoulders.

“Wouldn’t it be bad if you came here to have fun and got ripped off?”

“Is that so?”

“You just have to give me a small amount of money.”

When Juen and Eliza looked confused Karl clicked his tongue.

“This is why girls from good families are called.”

“You treated me like a child just now right?”

“You’ve got great guts Carl Thomas.”

Juen raised his eyes and waved his knife wildly and Eliza smiled coldly.

“anyway! Even if you do business legitimately the profits are enormous but you shouldn’t let profiteering ruin the festival atmosphere! My father the head of a small business family said! To create a festival that everyone can enjoy we must first eliminate price gouging! “This is something that Elena-senpai also agreed to.”

Carl clenched his fists.

“A merchant belonging to the Lumeria City Merchants’ Association made a fuss with the acting student council president so I guess Elena will use that as an excuse to put pressure on the Merchants’ Association? “The reason I was able to come to Lumeria City during this busy time with final preparations was to create a platform to put pressure on the merchant association.”

***

“Any method is fine so come up with an excuse to put pressure on the Merchants’ Association.”

“Me?”

“huh.”

“How?”

“You have to think about that on your own right?”

“Isn’t it all over with just one word from Senior Hark?”

Karl said while looking at Hark who was working next to him.

“The mayor of Lumeria City is not the king. I am not in a position to give orders to the merchant association. “We have no choice but to appease in a moderate way.”

“What is that moderate method?”

“Are you going to start a fight? “Why don’t you catch a useless pod?”

“That’s nice. “I don’t think there will be any setbacks.”

Carl sighed at the two people’s methods which were far from moderate no matter how he looked at them.

‘Yes what Lumeria City faction would dare hold a grudge against the successors of Geron and Rigard? I am different.’

For Karl a commoner it was burdensome to deal with the Lumeria City Merchants’ Association which had a strong influence around the world.

***

After finishing his explanation Carl shrugged his shoulders.

“Now I will fall out in the middle and Senior Elena and Senior Hark will catch Gundeokji and destroy the Merchants’ Association.”

“Is that why you brought Nana Juen Torna?”

“huh. I knew that the moment a fight broke out you and Juen would punish the other person in a way that would be painful. “For the same reasons as Haruk-senpai and Elena-senior there will be no reason for sparks to fly against you.”

“You took advantage of me right? “You’re so clever.”

Eliza curled the corners of her mouth at Carl’s words.

‘I thought I was treated like a brat.’

Even though she was taken advantage of Eliza somehow smiled with satisfaction.

“By the way since we earned this much money shall we go eat something delicious?”

Hahaha! Juen muttered while looking at the smiling sword.

“Senior Carl you look very happy.”

“Hey! I’m finally free so of course I’m happy! “Once you start the Hero’s Festival you will be free from the hell of work!”

“But that’s for a limited time.”

The future of Carl who had already been selected by Elena as a high-performance talent was obvious.

Even after the hero’s festival is over you will be eaten to the core.

Carl smiled refreshingly at that.

“hey. Anyway my grades are nowhere near 3rd grade. The position of acting student council president wasn’t bad as a finishing touch to the end of Lumerun! “In fact I could say I was lucky!”

‘This is the first time I’ve seen someone happy about being expelled.’

Juen made a dumbfounded expression.

‘But with senior Carl’s grades third year will be difficult.’

On the one hand I was worried.

Karl said that his goal from the beginning was to last only the first semester of his freshman year.

However since he survived until the second semester of his second year it was clear that his school life must have been very satisfying from Karl’s perspective.

But for Juen it was a pity.

Considering the standards of Rumeren students the amount of horsepower is poor.

Even magical talent that wasn’t very good.

Alchemy is amazing but as a magic student it is full of flaws.

Even so Carl’s abilities other than his grades were outstanding.

‘How can there be no way to help senior Karl?’

While Juen was stomping his feet.

Eliza also stared at Carl’s back.

***

Elena muttered with a serious expression after crushing the merchant association representatives who rushed towards her.

“You do everything you ask right? “This is really all-rounder.”

Elena’s eyes sparkled as she stroked her chin.

“Leo. “How can I command Kalgun more?”

Elena asked with a serious face in the student council president’s office.

Leo who was reviewing the documents answered that question.

“It’s a problem that Carl has to solve.”

“There is an easy way too. “I also have the authority to act as the chairman of the board.”

Leo grinned as he looked at Elena who was smiling brightly.

“No.”

“why? “Wouldn’t it be nice to go out with your best friend?”

As Elena narrowed her eyes and spoke Leo spoke calmly.

“It wouldn’t be a bad thing if I just end up as a junior that Elena can easily manipulate.”

“Are you saying it’s not true?”

“I need to develop my eyes to see people more.”

“what?”

Elena looked upset at Leo’s words.

Elena is always relaxed but her composure often breaks in front of Leo.

Elena who looked at Leo for a moment exclaimed! He snorted and twisted his hair.

“Leo-kun does this mean that Kal-kun can become a third-year student on his own?”

“You don’t know that. But the moral of our school is to go beyond limits right?”

Leo chuckled.

“Karl will go beyond the limits and achieve results that are acceptable to everyone.”
