“My fault?”
Leo narrowed his eyebrows.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Fritz adjusted his glasses and narrowed his eyes.
Purple eyes looked directly at Jane.
“Walking the path of a hero is your own will. But why is it Leo’s fault?”
Jane turned her head at Fritz’s cold words.
“There must be a reason for saying that.”
Leo walked ahead and said, as if he didn’t mind Jane’s criticism.
“Anyway, the important thing now is that we have to bring Chen Xia back to Lumern.”
“how?”
Jane asked through gritted teeth.
As he thought Chen Xia was suitable for a hero, he seemed to agree that she should be brought back to Lumern.
Leo crossed his arms at Jane’s words.
“I should meet Chen Xia first.”
“It won’t be easy.”
Jane slumped her shoulders.
“Shan’s royal family cannot engage in external activities. “You have to live completely behind the shadow of the imperial palace.”
“I guess so. Still, Chen Xia is still a student at Lumern.”
Leo said calmly as he walked towards the warp gate.
“If we can’t meet, we’ll have to negotiate with the Emperor of Shan.”
Jane trembled at those words.
“With Your Majesty the Emperor?”
“okay.”
Leo said, patting his arm.
“There is also a letter from the principal.”
Leo grinned.
“Maybe you can’t ignore it?”
Leo entered the warp gate.
Fritz followed Leo.
Jane, who hesitated, soon had no choice but to board the warp gate together.
The wizards residing at the warp gate looked a little strange.
Warp gate due to mission at this late hour.
Of course, this does not mean that such cases do not exist at all.
However, even though Leo was a second year student, he couldn’t help but feel strange that Fritz and Jane, who seemed to be freshmen, were together.
‘You’re already the student council president and your duties.’
The gate managers looked amazed, but did not show it and opened the warp gate.
Woe!
The three people disappeared in a flash of bright light.
***
Leo and his party arrived through the warp gate in the outskirts of Xing, the capital of Shan.
Leo stopped when he saw the warp gate.
The unique architectural style of the Shan Empire caught my eye.
Leo muttered as he looked at the exotic architectural style.
“I definitely feel like I’ve come to a different culture.”
Jane, who got off at the warp gate first at the muttering, put on her school uniform neatly and spoke.
“Welcome. This is the capital of Shan. “It’s Sing.”
Although she was a bit snarky, Jane showed a very polite demeanor.
It was like Fritz next to Leo.
Leo looked at Jane with a puzzled expression.
“Your attitude is completely different from just a moment ago.”
“From now on, I will guide you to Leo Plov, a hero candidate who is not a former student of Rumern, but a shadow candidate of Shan.”
“after.”
Fritz narrowed his eyes.
“You speak well to a subject who had a cocky attitude just a moment ago.”
“Are you starting a fight?”
Jane looked at Fritz with angry eyes.
Seeing Jane like that, Fritz smiled coldly.
“I am the one helping Leo.”
Leo glanced at Fritz.
Fritz, who was taller than Leo, bowed to Leo with a graceful gesture.
“Leo. “We will accommodate you without any inconvenience during your mission.”
Leo looked up at the sky and sighed as he looked at Jane, whose attitude changed as soon as she came to Shan, and Fritz, who was trying to compete with Jane.
‘I understand why the principal put these two on me.’
Just as there are different types of heroes, there are also different types of shadows.
They can be broadly divided into three types.
Reaper, a hunter who chases down and punishes hero killers and traitors.

A guardian who protects a specific area to defend against the invasion of Tartarus.
And Shadow, who assists and guards the hero.
Shadow’s characteristic is that he does not hesitate to give up his life for a hero.
Reapers and Guardians are often scouted as hero candidates, but most Shadows are trained as Shadows from birth.
And Fritz and Jane were Shadows.
Especially Lumern.
Fritz, the shadow of the Geron family, and Jane, the shadow of the Shan Empire, had a strange sense of competition.
‘Both of them have the highest level of skill among first-year students. Among the shadow candidates admitted this time, he must be the top two.’
When it comes to shadows, the most famous one is the Shan Empire.
However, the shadows of Lumern, who hold hero records and train hero candidates, are no less powerful than Shan.
If you have skills, you have skills.
Even the background.
They had no choice but to compete with each other.
‘The problem is that these are trying to compete as shadows.’
Riina accepted the first-year students because she wanted to show the shadow candidates the path to becoming a hero.
However, these two people have no interest in being heroes at all.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a hero or a shadow.
However, Leo did not like the idea of people who lived their lives placing more importance on the lives of others.
“Let me tell you. “Your current status is not a shadow candidate, but a hero candidate.”
At those words, Fritz and Jane looked at Leo.
“My relationship with you is also that of a senior and junior at school.”
“But Leo. Since I was young, I have lived to be the shadow of a hero… … .”
“Do you think I need protection from brats like you?”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Fritz and Jane’s eyes widened at Leo’s indifferent words.
“joy! all right. “If you say that, I will treat you like a senior.”
Jane responded calmly.
Fritz placed his hand on his chest, closed his eyes, and trembled his shoulders.
Jane sneered at that sight.
“why? My pride was hurt because I was ignored… … .”
“Leo! No, I understand your great meaning well!”
“Eh?”
Seeing Fritz with a touched expression, Jane said something stupid, and Leo asked, ‘Why are you doing this again?’ … .’ He made an expression like this.
“You’re saying that I’m not enough as a shadow, so I should work harder, right? All right! “I will work hard until the day I am recognized as my senior’s shadow!”
“Doesn’t your pride get hurt when you hear things like that?!”
When Jane shouted as if she was dumbfounded, Fritz looked like he didn’t know what was going on.
“Why should my pride be hurt?”
Leo looked dumbfounded as he watched Fritz shed his cool-headed image and react unconditionally positively to what he said.
‘No, when did this guy see me and follow me like this?’
I looked at Fritz with a puzzled expression.
Then he shook his head and left the warp gate.
“Where should I go to Shan’s imperial palace?”
“I can’t go today.”
“why?”
“Singh is largely divided into four sections.”
Jane explained.
Singh was one of the oldest cities in the world.
As such, the size of the city was enormous.
“The first section where the imperial palace is located is not accessible after sunset. “This is a law established regardless of status.”
The area where the warp gate is located is said to be in the 3rd sector.
“okay?”
“yes. Staying at an accommodation near the warp gate today. “I have to go to the imperial palace early tomorrow morning.”
Leo nodded at Jane’s words.
“Please guide me.”
“yes.”
Jane took the lead and headed to a nearby inn.
Leo and Fritz walked after him.
Leo looked at the exotic streets of Xing.
The majority were exotic-looking people wearing clothes with full sleeves.
There were also foreigners who came for trade, but the number was not that large.
Most people walking on the street looked at Leo and his group wearing Lumern school uniforms as if they were curious.
That was when three people were walking through the crowd.
chuck-!
Suddenly, three people appeared in front of Jane.
In response, Jane shook her shoulders and lowered her posture.
Sasasak-!
Seven more men appeared around Leo.
Fritz, seeing that, raised his right hand and gave it strength.
Tduduk-
An eerie sound was heard from my finger joints.
Jeopuk- Jeopuk-
Among the people blocking the way, a person who appeared to be the leader came forward.
And then he bowed his head politely towards Leo.
“Leo Plov. He is the captain of the guard of Shan’s imperial palace. By order of His Majesty the Emperor, I have come to fetch Leo Plov.”
Jane looked surprised at that question.
Leo asked while Fritz remained alert.
“I understand the school didn’t say we were going to Shan?”
In response to Leo’s question, the man in front bowed his head even more and said.
“Leo. Shan is the land of shadows. “Shadows exist everywhere.”
Leo narrowed his eyes at those blatant words.
‘It means you know the purpose of my coming here.’
Leo said, bursting into laughter.
“You don’t have to wait until tomorrow.”
***
Wow!
Blood splattered.
Turp-plop-
A man dressed in pure white was swinging a long sword.
“It’s still the same. “The shadows of Shan.”
A man with black hair and black eyes smiled as he walked, avoiding the corpses lying at his feet.
Despite the mountain of corpses, there was not a single drop of blood on the man’s clothes.
“I heard you’re so persistent that it’s useless.”
The man shook his head and waved his wrist slightly.
Whilick-! Sigh-!
“Kruk?”
The sword energy extended from the tip of the sword and decapitated the shadow that was waiting for an opportunity while holding its breath.
“Do you think that method will work? “These are all things I learned.”
A man with a wry smile stopped in his tracks.
Slap-
A man standing on the dirt floor full of blood pools took something out of his arms.
The man took out a black crystal ball and infused mana into it.
Gooooo-!
A black space opened in the air.
Along with that, huge black eyes flashed.
[Is it cyan?]
“Long time no see. “The Giant King.”
Xian greeted the black eyes politely.
[Okay, what’s going on?]
“I heard something interesting from the King of Death. “I’ve contacted you to confirm.”
Sian stroked his chin.
“There is an old sword that has been passed down from generation to generation of Shan emperors.”
Sian’s eyes sparkled.
“I heard that the sword is an item related to the hero of the beginning.”
[It’s truly an unpleasant name I haven’t heard in a long time.]
“Long time no see? “Just a few months ago, the Demon Queen was subdued by the Hero of the Beginning and the Progenitor of the Nebula who descended into this world?”
[All the rude people who came to deliver the news died before they could even mention his name.]
Xian nodded as he looked at the Giant King, who was showing strong displeasure.
“okay.”
[That old sword is an item related to the hero of the beginning. Why are you asking that? Didn’t you end your relationship with Shan?]
“I ended the relationship. “I have no intention of going back.”
Xian smiled carefree.
“But it’s an item related to the hero of beginning. “That’s a coveted item, isn’t it?”
[It’s a coveted item… … okay. Now, do you want to inherit the power of the hero of the beginning?]
“yes. “Because I’m using you for that.”
[You’re crazy.]
Disgust arose in the Giant King’s huge eyes.
[No matter how stupid you are, you will never be able to put your name on the hero record.]
“What does that matter? “I just need to become a great hero myself.”
Sian laughed.
“I will defeat you all and become a hero recognized by history, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Seeing Xian showing blatant hostility, the Giant King cut off communication as if he didn’t want to see him.
Although he is a giant king with enormous size and unbelievably cruel power, his personality is more serious and cautious than anyone else.
Xian, who claimed to betray the world and use Tartarus to become a hero to the giant king, was nothing more than a mad dog who could change at any moment.
But Sian didn’t care.
“It’s been a while since I met Abama.”
