Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student – 98



【98】97.

Leo clicked his tongue when he arrived at the lake south of Neigrang.

“Not here. “Is this the second waste of money?”

Leo took out a map and marked an X on the lake.

‘Now one in the east and one in the north. The last one is…’

Leo turned his head and saw the ruined castle.

‘One at the castle ruins.’

Since it overlapped with Leo’s final destination we only had to check the lake at the castle ruins last.

‘Anyway.’

Leo who had the map in his arms looked back.

“So why did you keep chasing me?”

At that question the person who was pretending to be popular between the buildings appeared in front of Leo.

“Did you know I was coming after you Master Leo?”

“huh.”

“As expected it’s amazing.”

“so. The castle ruins are on the other side right? “Why did you follow me here?”

“Why did you come here Master Leo?”

“I have some personal business to attend to.”

“I also came because I had some personal business to attend to.”

“What is it?”

Sigh-!

“It’s a win.”

When Chen Xia activated her aura a silk-like wave was created around her.

Chen Xia who had wrapped it around her body like a wing garment extended her right hand to Leo and lowered her posture with her left hand placed on her back.

“Why suddenly?”

“I wanted to know. How big is the gap between Leo and me? and….”

Chen Xia had a serious expression.

“What kind of person are you?”

Leo drew his sword.

“Is that all?”

“I also covet the position of class representative.”

Leo burst out laughing at those words.

“Why are you smiling?”

“no. “I think this is the first time you’ve honestly revealed your ambition.”

Chen Xia is one of the top first-year students.

And no matter who the top students were they aimed for the position of representative of Leo’s grade.

This is because they have lived their entire lives as the best so unless they are the best their true nature will not be resolved.

However there was one student in particular who took a step back.

That was Chen Xia.

‘I definitely had ambition.’

“I’m curious why you suddenly showed your ambition.”

“It’s a battle royale. It’s a stage where you can show off your true skills. and….”

Her eyes sank.

“I came to see you.”

“what?”

Paaa-!

Chen Xia kicked the ground and rushed towards Leo.

‘Attack first?’

Basically Chen Xia was a warrior with a strong defensive tendency.

This is because due to the nature of water it is more advantageous for defense and evasion than attack.

There were times when students in the knight department debated for a long time about who could break through her soft defenses.

‘The ones predicted to have potential were Celia and Duran.’

But it is only a possibility.

Even the knight department students were not confident that the two people who were considered to have the strongest attack power among their peers could break through Chen Xia’s defense.

That’s how overwhelming Chen Xia’s defense was.

They gave up that advantage and went first.

‘Well it’s not like the attack is weak.’

Hwareuk-!

Leo created a flame aura.

Chen Xia’s small hands moved gently.

But the attack that followed that softness was literally vicious.

Chen Xia’s water aura became small water droplets and scattered in all directions.

Every drop of water became a sharp needle.

“…!”

Leo urgently wrapped himself in flame aura.

Pababababat-!

Hundreds of needles hit us from all directions.

Chi-ik!

The needle of water collided with the wall of flame creating water vapor.

Although there were a huge number of needles they could not pierce the flame barrier.

“You might need an awl not a needle.”

A palm-sized water droplet was created in Chen Xia’s hand and soon turned into a sharp awl.

Paaa-!

The awl-shaped water aura penetrated the flame aura and aimed at Leo.

Whick!

Leo leaned back and dodged the attack.

As I stood up Chen Xia’s instep came into view.

Chen Xia’s main force is martial arts.

The biggest drawback of martial arts was that it was difficult to close the distance against an enemy holding a weapon.

However the downside was that if you narrowed the distance you could make your opponent helpless.

Leo raised the hand that was not holding the sword and blocked Chen Xia’s attack.

Kwaang-! Phew!

A shock struck my right forearm as if it would break and my feet were dented in the dirt! I dug into it.

But I didn’t have time to worry about it.

This is because Chen Xia’s fist which recovered her foot was aimed at the right side.

In response to the aura-filled attack Leo let go of his sword and quickly blocked Chen Xia’s attack with his left hand.

puck-!

Leo’s body bounced off the spot as if he had been hit by a huge bat.

with a splash-!

Leo’s body fell to the shore of the lake and a column of water rose high.

“Indeed Master Leo… you’re counterattacking in the meantime.”

Chen Xia frowned as she tore off the left sleeve of her burnt and tattered blouse.

Even as he was being bounced around Leo’s flame auror succeeded in breaking through Chen Xia’s defense.

with a splash.

Leo who came out of the water waved his numb right hand and looked at Chen Xia.

Chen Xia smiled as she looked at Leo like that.

“As expected Master Leo is amazing. “I attacked him with all my might but he was still fine.”

“Are you okay? Does this look okay to you? “It hurts so much I’m going to die.”

Chen Xia smiled bitterly as she looked at Leo grumbling.

‘Isn’t the fact that I still have the energy to joke a sign that I’m sane?’

While thinking like that Chen Xia prepared for Leo’s attack.

‘There was a surprise attack once. ‘Captain Leo is not the kind of person who would suffer the same fate.’

There were other methods but now was not the time to hastily attack Leo.

‘At that time Master Leo’s attack.’

Chen Xia recalled the first day she learned the Breath of the Brave.

‘That would definitely be the greatest firepower that Master Leo can produce.’

Gooooo-!

Chen Xia released an auror.

Her black hair flew accordingly.

The obsidian black eyes were stained blue like sapphires.

‘If only I could let that sword strike go!’

“That’s not like you Chen Xia.”

“yes?”

“Water is a force that always changes according to the flow.”

Leo tilted his head.

“But you’re so hard now.”

“…!”

“What’s going on?”

Chen Xia who was looking at Leo with a stern face smiled.

“Nothing happened.”

Leo stretched out his hand.

Ugh-!

The sword that reacted to the aura was sucked into Leo’s hand.

Hwareuk-!

‘If only I could block that sword strike!’

Leo adjusted his sword as he watched Chen Xia concentrating.

Gooooo-!

A powerful heat hit Chen Xia’s skin.

Chen Xia tensed her whole body.

‘It’s coming!’

Googoo googung!

Chen Xia took a breath as she saw Leo’s flame aura approaching in front of her.

The hero’s breath was activated and a powerful flow of water appeared around her.

The water aura that swallowed Leo’s sword attack changed the flow of the sword attack.

At that moment Chen Xia felt something was wrong.

‘It can’t be this bad.’

“I told you.”

Chen Xia was startled by the voice that came from behind.

“It’s hard.”

Tup-!

I felt Leo’s palm touch my back.

Leo concentrated the aura with the tip of his palm and pushed it into Chen Xia’s back.

Pow-!

“Huh?”

The compressed aura exploded and threw Chen Xia away.

Chen Xia who was rolling on the floor miserably took a deep breath as she saw the sword touching her neck.

“You lost.”

Chen Xia smiled helplessly.

“Master Leo. “Are you really fifteen?”

“then. “How old do you think you are?”

“He looks like a man who fell and fell on the battlefield.”

Leo grabbed the head of Chen Xia who was smiling playfully and took a step back.

“What is it? “Aren’t you going to eliminate me?”

For an instant Chen Xia’s face became cold.

Her voice was so cold that I couldn’t believe it was her usual voice.

“No matter how much it is Master Leo I can’t tolerate it. “There is no need for this kind of mercy…”

“You seem to be mistaken.”

Leo chuckled.

“This is a battle royale. “It’s my heart to take advantage of losers.”

“What?”

“If you’re a loser you should listen to the winner like a loser right? Because those annoying kids are chasing me. “You take care of it.”

With those words Leo ran away.

“what….”

Chen Xia who had a dazed expression on his face suddenly saw a flash of light on the other side of the building.

“He is my target. “Do not disturb Eliza Hergin.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Leo Plov is my prey!”

A familiar voice was heard.

After a while Duran and Eliza arrived at the lakeside and stopped when they saw Chen Xia.

“Miss Eliza Duran County. “The castle ruins are over there. Why did you come all the way here?”

“Then why are you here? “Are you targeting Leo Plov too?”

Chen Xia smiled bitterly as she looked at Duran approaching with a frown.

“Seeing as you say ‘you too’ it seems the same goes for Duran-kun.”

‘That’s what it meant.’

Chen Xia who understood what he meant by asking her to take care of troublesome things laughed helplessly.

“Did you lose?”

“yes.”

“Where did he go?”

Chen Xia said to that question.

“I headed that way.”

Chen Xia said as Duran tried to chase Leo.

“Duran. “I’m hurt so would you mind going to Miss Nella with me?”

“Why should I do that?”

“Right now we’re competing against each other and Duran and I are in the same department. “Do you really think Duran will ignore his classmates because of personal competition?”

Duran frowned as he looked at Chen Xia who was talking with a grin.

“Fox-like guy!”

As long as he mentioned the knight department Duran could not ignore Chen Xia.

“Do your best. “I’m going to finish off Leo Plov.”

As Eliza laughed Duran’s face crumpled miserably.

“Miss Eliza. “I have a hard time walking so can you give me a ride?”

“Sia. “If you were from the Summoning Department you would have helped me but you know that we are enemies now right?”

“oh my god! I usually help you study too! Are you saying you’re throwing it away because it’s no longer useful? Is that so?”

“What what?”

“When I borrow a writing notebook every day I say I will definitely repay the debt!”

“Be sure to pay off your rain debt! But you don’t have to pay it back now…!”

Eliza frowned.

Eliza was not a student who diligently took classes other than her major.

Chen Xia who was always kind to those around her once helped Eliza study for the midterm exam.

What happened back then was brought up now.

“You pretended to be noble but you were no different from other lowly bastards.”

Duran said curling the corners of his mouth and Eliza raised her eyes at those words.

A smile was on Duran’s lips.

‘If I can’t fight Leo Plov then you can’t fight Leo Plov either.’

Eliza shouted at Duran’s smile as if asking him to go with her.

“ah! We can go together! together! Sia! We’ll only accompany you to the central castle ruins! From then on we are enemies!”

“Thank you Miss Eliza.”

Chen Xia who was holding the two students in his hands looked in the direction where Leo had disappeared and sighed.

‘I don’t know why we don’t go to the central castle ruins… but let’s finish quickly. ‘Master Leo.’

***

Central castle site.

“Look where you are!”

Grumble! bang!

“Oops! “It’s Celia Gerdinger!”

“Damn it! “I just had to go a little further!”

Naturally students were flocking to the central castle ruins which could be said to be the only safe zone in the city.

To enter the central castle ruins one had to pass through gates opening in the north south east and west.

You can climb the castle wall but if you do so you will be exposed to heavy fire from students stationed around you so there were no students who hastily attempted to climb over the wall.

But that didn’t mean it was easy to cross the gate.

It was because of the students from different departments guarding each castle gate.

“shit! It’s impossible over there! “Let’s go somewhere else!”

Jureden’s party left the castle walls guarded by Celia and arrived at the west gate.

And when I saw the student guarding the west gate I pulled out my hair.

“Chloe Müller!”

At the western gate Chloe was seen standing holding a staff as tall as herself.

‘Now all that’s left is the south gate and the east gate. It would be a pain if a top student from another department were guarding it too!’

Eliza second in the Summoning Department was now chasing Leo.

‘Please Wareden! ‘Just occupy one gate!’

If you are outside the castle ruins and the curse is activated and you become weaker you will become a target for the students inside the castle ruins.

Depending on the curse there was a high probability that even proper resistance would be annihilated.

Jureden was about to move to the south gate when he felt his mouth burning.

Kiaaaaaaa!

“huh?”

Jureden looked up at the sky with a bewildered face at the roar that came from above.

Chloe also turned her gaze to the sky with a puzzled expression.

There was a vicious-looking black dragon flying there.

“Black Wyvern?”

“no way! “There is no way a top-level phantom beast will appear!”

While the Jureden party was surprised.

Cheok-!

The black drake opened its mouth and began spouting its breath towards the Jureden party.

“Ugh! “What is this?”

The breath which had a powerful acidic effect melted the ground.

Jureden looked up at the sky with a stern face.

‘That’s not a phantom trick! Could it be a monster? Are there monsters that look like that?’

Jureden tried to find out about the unidentified dragon using the information in his head.

However there was no way to find out the identity of Fafnir the demonic beast that was exterminated by the great heroes during the Age of Calamity.

Fafnir with his mouth wide open fired his breath and aimed at the Jureden party.

Kyaaaaaaa!

“Damn it! Avoid it first!”
