126.
The first-year students headed to the academy in their own way.
Knight department students are Auror staff.
Magic students use fly magic or wing magic.
Students of the Summoning Department are flying phantom beasts and spirits.
If it had been at the beginning of the semester, many students would have had difficulty crossing the wide Lake Lumeria, but now among the first-year students in Lumeria, there was no student who could not cross the lake.
‘I guess that means everyone has grown that much.’
Leo thought as he flew through the sky using fly magic.
The underwater monsters living in Lake Lumeria were seen attacking the students, but they all responded easily.
“I think it’s worth a try even with the Kraken at this level?”
“Don’t say that even if it’s a joke.”
Leo, who heard the conversation between his classmates, chuckled.
‘But what’s the reason you’re asking me to go all the way to Lumern Academy?’
It seemed clear that they wanted to test the students’ skills.
However, the difficulty level was too easy to believe that was the case.
Leo, who knew Riven’s identity as a dragon, predicted that difficult challenges would await him.
‘It will never end like this.’
It was when Leo was so sure.
A thick fog spread before my eyes.
Because there was often fog in Lake Lumeria, the other students didn’t think much of it.
But the moment we entered the fog, Leo’s face hardened.
‘This… … !’
Leo widened his eyes.
‘Dragon magic?’
Woe!
The moment Leo recognized the dragon magic, Leo’s vision changed.
‘This is a bit harsh.’
It was a magic that Leo knew.
A magic developed long ago by the King of Wisdom, Lisinas.
‘To be exact, it’s a curse.’
The Balaur Curse created by Lisinas to counter the curse, one of the strongest powers of Tartarus.
‘Nightmare.’
Woe!
The scenery has completely changed.
Leo saw that and took a deep breath.
The nature of this curse is well known.
‘The curse of fighting the person you know that you hate the most.’
After thinking that far, Leo turned his head.
And looking at the woman in front of me, I muttered, ‘As expected.’
A beautiful woman in front of me.
It was none other than Risinas.

The professors in charge of first-year students at Lumern Academy looked at the magic screen in front of them with serious faces.
On the screen, students heading to Lumern were seen losing their minds and collapsing.
“ah… … .”
“Well, that… … .”
Sad sighs poured out among the professors.
Students who lost consciousness and fell into the water were swallowed up by their own shadows.
The swallowed students were moved to the ward.
Among professors, Vice Principal Riven is known as someone who wields powerful illusion magic.
The professors, who were well aware of the power of that magic, strongly protested when Riven first announced that he was testing first-year students.
‘That’s ridiculous!’
‘High school students wouldn’t know! ‘It’s impossible for a first grader to pass!’
That’s why Riven’s magic was famous even among professors.
There was not a single professor who wanted to break the will of current first-year students with ridiculous tests.
‘It’s not a graded test. It’s literally a kind of simple test for Vice Principal Riven to find out the students’ capabilities.’
Thanks to Calian’s persuasion, the first-year professors entrusted their students to Riven from the first day of school.
The result was this.
The professors sighed deeply as they looked at the students who could not endure it and were losing their minds.
Even Sedzen, who would normally have cheered energetically on the students in charge, was staring at the screen with his arms crossed and an expressionless face.
Several Class 1 students were also seen on the screen.
“You can’t be elegant.”
Sedjen frowned and muttered to Halind.
“How do you see it?”
“The vice principal might also have thoughts. “Because he has been a professor at Lumern for longer than us.”
Halind and Sedzen knew about Riven’s identity.
I also heard what goal he had in Lumern.
“But I don’t like it.”

It would be better if Riven, a dragon, personally guided the first-year students, but Riven did not show any motivation to teach the first-year students.
Lumern’s goal is to raise hero candidates who can overcome any ordeal.
However, this does not mean that students are forced into an impossible ordeal that they can never overcome.
Riven literally prepared this test to refuse to teach first graders.
Lumern’s professors do their best for the students they teach.
I had no doubt that the students would soon grow into talents who would change the world.
Sedgen was a professor who had a strong hold on that philosophy.
So I didn’t like Riven’s way of ignoring students’ potential.
The same was true for Halind, who valued efficiency.
“It may be a difference in perspective that arises from looking at something bigger than ourselves.”
Halind said while looking at the students, and Sedzen sighed deeply.

“Kyle.”
Lisinas, who was blocking Leo’s path, smiled and got out of the way.
He then pointed to the path he was blocking with his finger and said.
“Furthermore.”
“I knew you would say that.”
Leo chuckled.
If the opponent is Rishinas, there is no way he would fight Leo.
The meeting of two people is the first step to saving the world.
They had a stronger trust in each other than anyone else.
Leo knew better than anyone else that a virtual colleague built on solid trust would never attack him.
So this result was created.
It was the same for other colleagues as well.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter if we fight.’
Leo looked down at his hands.
These were not the hands of a young boy, but the hands of an adult covered in wounds who had crossed countless battlefields.
My vision also changed.
Nightmare is a curse that shows illusions.
In the end, it is a fake that does not exist.
If Leo recognizes Lisinas as the person he most dislikes, this means that the illusion also recognizes Leo as Kyle, not Leo.
Leo passed Lisinas, scratching his gray hair.
Lisinas smiled as he looked up at Kyle.
“cheer up.”
With those words, Lisinas disappeared.
A space where the scenery changes and only darkness remains.
“cheer up… … la… … .”
Leo, who had suddenly returned to his original form, smiled bitterly and pulled out his sword.
“You have to cheer up.”
Grumbling!
The aura of flame exploded like an explosion.
Leo’s eyes lit up.
Unlike magic made by combining runes, Yongeon magic is magic made by combining Yongeon, the language of dragons.
It is difficult for other races to even interpret, let alone use.
However, Leo, who inherited Lishinas’ legacy, understood magic techniques without difficulty.
‘It’s impossible to use it in my current physical condition.’
The interpretation is not that difficult.
Moreover, this dragon magic was created by Lisinas.
Kwaduk-!
I extended my sword toward the place where the magic spell was concentrated.
Absolutely!
A crack appeared throughout the space, and soon the darkness was shattered and cleared away.
Flash!
The fly magic was lifted and Leo’s eyes widened as he fell.
Splat!
Leo, who used the Auror Step to avoid falling into the water, narrowed his eyes.
I could see the students around me being swallowed up by the shadows.
‘I guess you don’t mean any harm.’
Because it was a curse-type magic created by a dragon, it was impossible to destroy it at the level of first-year students.
Kuuk-!
Leo strengthened his legs.
Kwaang-!
The aura accumulated in my legs burst out like an explosion.
Leo ran towards Lumern at incredible speed.
Riven, who had arrived first and stood at the dock in Rumern where the first years would arrive, muttered.
“Was Nightmare too harsh?”
Riven, who was looking at Lake Lumeria with an unmotivated face, shook his head and turned around.
Babababababaat-!
The sound of treading water was heard.
When I turned my head, someone landed in front of Riven.
Riven’s eyes opened wide.
Leo looked up at Riven and said.
“I’ve arrived.”
Riven looked in disbelief as he looked at Leo speaking in a slightly crooked voice.
“How did you break the spell?”
“I just unpacked it and left.”
“her.”
Riven burst into laughter after hearing Leo’s words.
Leo asked while looking at Riven.
“But don’t they usually give impossible things as tests?”
Riven sighed deeply at those poignant words.
He trudged and flopped down into a chair on the dock.
“I have been the vice principal of Rumerne for a long time. “I saw many students who became heroes.”
Riven smiled bitterly.
“But not a single student dreamed of being more than a hero.”
The last person in history to be chosen by the dragon was the sword saint Calian.
That is why he is called the greatest hero of modern times.
“I’ve been losing motivation after seeing the world stagnate for so long. That’s why I didn’t want to see your potential.”
Riven bowed his head deeply.
“So I apologize.”
As dragons are called the strongest race, they do not bow down to others easily.
Leo, who knew that fact, accepted Riven’s sincere apology.
“so. “What is your dream?”
Riven was curious about the dream of this student who achieved something he thought was impossible.
Indeed, for the first time in a long time, I couldn’t help but be an interested student.
Leo, who heard Riven’s words, responded as if it was no big deal.
“The complete annihilation of Erebos.”
Riven’s eyes opened wide.
It’s an answer I couldn’t have imagined.
It’s hard to even dare to say the name Erebos, but you’re a first year student who declares that he will destroy Erebos?
If it were anyone else, it would be foolish.
It was an absurd goal to ridicule, but Riven did not do that.
Instead, I felt my heart trembling.
“If I had been a teacher in Lumern for a long time, I might have been disappointed in my students.”
Leo said, looking directly into Riven’s eyes.
“But you know what?”
“What?”
“The King of Wisdom saved the world because he never gave up.”
Riven’s eyes widened at Leo’s words.
“Even if you are frustrated thousands of times, even if you are disappointed thousands of times. “I said that was no reason to give up.”
Leo continued, recalling the leader who always stood at the forefront and led the punitive force.
“If you are a descendant of such a wise king, wouldn’t it be right to not give up at any time?”
“you… … My identity… … ?”
Riven sensed that Leo had seen through his identity.
“Please take care of me in the future, Vice Principal.”
After greeting Riven, Leo left the dock and headed toward the main gate of Rumern.
Riven looked at the back and looked up at the sky.
‘O king of great wisdom…’ … ‘What is the identity of that boy who reminds me of your will?’
Riven is a great being that all dragons respect.
Thinking of Rishinas, I pulled out the student list from subspace.
And then I turned the page.
Leo’s photo appeared on the very first page.
‘Indeed, was that child Leo Plov?’
I didn’t even know that I could tell its identity as soon as I turned the first page.
Riven realized how lazy he had been and blamed himself.
‘Even if I ignored the possibility of others due to my foolishness… … ‘What about that boy?’
Riven closed the student list and looked up at the sky.
It’s not like the golden generation.
‘Maybe it will shake up the world that has been frozen.’
Riven, who had watched many heroes up close for a long time, had a hunch.
Leo was not simply a boy with heroic qualities.
However, he is not a hero who will rise to greater heights.
One word came into Riven’s mind.
‘Great hero.’
