next day.
The streets of Tarkham were full of life.
A party preparing to go on an expedition to Mt. Erdien.
A party exploring inside Tarkham, etc.
The students were solving this mission practice in their own way.
Leo also questioned the party members and witnesses of the monster that happened that night in Tarkham’s central square.
“I found out the hospital where the guards are hospitalized.”
Carl came over with a grin.
Drianna ho-! I burst out in exclamation.
“you. “You’re more capable than I thought.”
“Because information seeking is my specialty. “It’s no big deal.”
“That’s amazing, Carl!”
“Hey, try praising me more.”
The proud Karl waved his hands.
‘Ugh? ‘You’re better than you think, right?’
‘How do you get information like that?’
Runia looked at the knife with a puzzled face, and Ar yawned, pretending not to be interested, but secretly glancing at the knife as if he was concerned.
When Leo recommended Karl as the party leader yesterday, Runia and Ar were deeply dissatisfied.
I’m not ignoring it, but it was true that among the party members, Carl had the least ability.
There was an explanation from Leo, but the two self-respecting girls could not easily be convinced.
“how is it? “The sword has power, right?”
When Leo asked with a grin, Runia crossed her arms.
“He is capable.”
Leo chuckled at those words.
“Take this opportunity to look closely at the knife. “I’m sure there’s a lot to learn, right?”
“What can I learn?”
“okay.”
Leo looked at Carl.
“The fact that Karl, the weakest member of Lumern, survived until the second year was not simply due to luck.”
Competition among students is fierce in Lumern.
Infinite competition.
If you don’t keep up, you will naturally be eliminated.
However, Carl was the weakest from the moment he entered school.
However, breaking many people’s expectations that they would be eliminated first, they still proudly remain as the weakest sophomore class.
This is definitely not an achievement achieved simply through effort and luck.
“Carl has an advantage that you guys don’t have.”
“what is that?”
“The ability to plan a strategy to win against someone stronger than you.”
Unintentionally, Lumern’s environment gave Carl such abilities.
Every moment was a challenge to Carl’s limits.
So Carl naturally acquired abilities that honor students did not have.
Giant Killing.
Carl clearly possessed the abilities that heroes should have.
After hearing Leo’s words, Ar crossed his arms.
“Hmm. Go beyond your limits… … is it.”
Ar looked at Karl, who was speaking Rumeren’s lesson.
Leo patted the two people on the shoulders and followed Karl.
Following Carl’s instructions, we soon arrived at the hospital.
Visits by guards were prohibited.
However, with the authority of the hero candidates, the party members were able to meet the guards without much difficulty.
“In times like these, it’s nice to be a hero candidate.”
Carl muttered in admiration.
Being a student at the Hero Academy gave me a free pass in most things.
So five people stood in front of the hospital.
The doctor in charge glanced at the party and said:
“Visits are allowed, but I hope you can finish your business relatively quickly. “The patient’s safety is the top priority.”
“Yes, I will finish it quickly.”
The group nodded and answered and entered the hospital room.
There, a dwarf was shivering in the corner of the hospital room.
The furniture inside the hospital room was in disarray, as if there had already been a riot.
The party members who saw this looked embarrassed.
This is because the security guard’s condition was more serious than expected.
“I don’t think it would be difficult to have a proper conversation if you were in a state like that.”
As Karl spoke cautiously, Runia pursed her lips and approached the guard.
“Hey, I have a question… … .”
“Oh, don’t come! “Don’t come!”
As Runia approached, the guard began to struggle frantically with a look of horror on his face.

“Take it out! Don’t catch me, get me out of here! Monster! The monster will come again! “A monster is coming!”
“calm down! We are students at the Hero Academy! “I just came because I wanted to ask you something about that!”
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The guard started going crazy.
Driana, who was watching the scene closely, muttered.
“It’s a curse.”
“curse?”
“okay. “Now the guard is not just deranged, but cursed with fear.”
“for a moment? Didn’t this guard just see that unknown monster? “I’m under such a strong curse just by seeing it?”
Runia looked embarrassed.
Carl looked serious as he checked the patient chart he received from the doctor.
“It’s not just a strong curse. Even though I was prescribed a seaweed potion and magic spell, it seems the curse could not be lifted.”
The cure for curses, one of the demons’ most powerful weapons, is an area that has been studied for a long time.
Therefore, most magic doctors had extensive knowledge about curses.
No matter how powerful a curse is, it can be broken if given time.
However, despite receiving proper treatment, the guard did not recover.
Leo said while everyone was confused.
“Airan, can you lift the curse?”
“Go ahead, I’ll try.”
Eiran took a step forward with a nervous look on his face.
The magical power of fairies has long been the opposite of a curse.
Therefore, the people of the Ersar family, descendants of Berkia, the last Fairy Knight, naturally had a strong resistance to curses.
He was also a natural magician.
“Please hold him back so he doesn’t run wild.” At those words, Ar and Driana grabbed the guard’s arms.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Then the guard became even more furious.
However, he could not defeat Azonia and Damian’s students with physical strength.
Light green magical power flowed from Eiran’s hands.
It was the power of a fairy overflowing with vitality.
The moment Eiran stretched out his hand to the guard.
Squeeze! pop!
Eiran’s hand flew out with an intense dark red spark.
“Airan!”
Runia was startled and approached Eiran.
“Well, I’m fine.”
Eiran smiled and looked down at his hands.
Before I knew it, my hands had blisters as if I had been burned.
The faces of the party members turned serious as they saw Eiran healing his hand with healing magic.
The Curse of Fear is not a difficult curse to break.
However, the user of the fairy power was unable to remove the curse and instead suffered a blow from the rebound.
‘How strong of a curse is there?’
Leo, who was observing the situation, stepped forward.
“Leo, Leo. be careful! “The power of the curse was activated under the influence of my power.”
Eiran spoke urgently.
Sparks flew out of Leo’s hands as well.
Puzzle-!
However, Leo did not care and generated gray magic power to push away the power of the curse.
Tup-!
“Kaaaaaa!”
Leo’s magic flowed into the struggling guard.
Leo quickly interpreted the curse.
‘It must be difficult to do it.’
It was a curse made up of complex techniques.
Of course, with Leo’s abilities, he could have done it well.
However, the moment I tried to solve it, a spell that further strengthened the curse was added.
In the end, the curse went out of control and the subject died.
‘If it’s not Risinas or Luna, it won’t be able to be completely released.’
Leo clicked his tongue.
Of course, there was no solution.
Puzzle-!
Dark red sparks flew out from Leo’s hand.
But Leo didn’t care and used his magical power to cover up the curse.
And then he slowly pulled out the curse spell.
Sigh-!
He removed his hand from the guard’s head.
At the tip of Leo’s finger was a dark red magic bead.
Inside, the curse spell was engraved in detail.
It was taken out of the body without any curse.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Leo’s eyes narrowed as he examined the curse closely.
Fall in! pop!
The power of the curse in the form of a bead was strongly squeezed and destroyed.
With that, the guard’s seizures stopped.
“What the hell is this?”
Seeing the guard looking around in confusion, Ar and Driana carefully let go of his arm.
“Great! Leo! You removed the curse itself and destroyed it! “You really have incredible horsepower control!”
Leo chose to destroy the curse itself rather than solve it.
It may seem simple at first glance, but it was a difficult technique that required understanding the characteristics of the curse and mana control that was close to divine.
Leo said as he looked at the guard who had returned to normal.
“Now I will answer the question properly.”
“huh.”
Karl approached the guard with a serious face.
“sorry. “I want to ask you something.”
Leo broke into a cold sweat and looked down at his palms.
In the process of destroying the curse, I learned whose curse it was.
‘… … I hoped my prediction was wrong.’
Leo’s face hardened.
‘The Giant King.’
***
After finishing the investigation, Leo and his party members headed straight to the entrance to Mount Erdien, which the guard had seen.
Leo was lost in thought until he arrived at the location.
‘Why did he appear?’
At the time of the first year entrance exam.
Leo had definitely seen Erebos here in Gerwin’s world of heroes.
‘But it wasn’t the whole Erebos. no. It was closer to meditation than to Erebos.’
5000 years ago.
In this land, he and Erebos fought their final battle, risking the fate of the world.
And in the end, Erebos was subdued.
It was divided into several pieces and sealed.
‘You said that its essence is equivalent to a god, right? ‘Then it wouldn’t be surprising if he had some residual thoughts left.’
A thought made up of hatred and resentment that the world has been defeated before its destruction.
‘But there’s no way the Giant King moved because of that. Residual thoughts are just remnants of will that have no power.’
It is neither the will nor the power of Erebos.
Just a bunch of resentment towards Kyle, the hero from the beginning.
It was a useless mass of consciousness that was of no help to Tartarus.
Of course, the symbolic meaning was great.
‘If he moved… … It’s more serious.’
Leo was troubled.
“But is it really possible that such a high-spirited monster exists in this world?”
Runia explored the surroundings and glanced up at the tall Mount Erdien.
“The largest creature in this world is the Gigantes. Come to think of it, you guys fought Gigantes last year, right? “How big is it?”
When Runia asked while tilting her head, Karl answered.
“The ones fighting were the top students in our grade. “I just watched the fight.”
Carl, who was shrugging his shoulders, shook his head as if he was fed up.
“That Gigantes was very big even though they said it wasn’t an adult yet… … A: But it doesn’t make sense to say that even the Eucharist is distracting.”
After hearing Karl’s words, Ar bit his index finger and tilted his head.
“hmm. “What if it were a giant king?”
“That corps commander who hasn’t been seen for 5,000 years? Isn’t it too unexpected? “He is a corps commander who even has the theory that he may have been subjugated during the Age of Calamity.”
He was literally a corps commander who only exists in legends to people of this era.
“If something of that size were to move through space in the first place, a wave of magical power would inevitably remain. It’s strange that it disappears in the blink of an eye. There is a high probability that you saw something in vain. Of course, since I was cursed, I guess it has something to do with demons… … .”
Leo paused after hearing Driana’s words.
‘Are you going to disappear from the world?’
Leo knew something about that phenomenon.
‘When entering Hero Records.’
Leo’s face hardened.
‘What if there is a hero record of one of the great heroes here?’
Tartarus is attacking the world of great heroes and burning hero records.
If that’s the reason, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Giant King himself made the move.
The moment when Leo’s thoughts went crazy.
“Leo! How long are you going to think like that? Help me navigate!”
Runia protested to Leo in a sullen voice.
“Something smells strange in here.”
“oh? really? “For some reason, it looks more like a dog than a cat.”
“Who said it was a dog?”
Wow!
Carl was impressed by the words of Ar, who was sniffing around while exploring the surroundings.
Ar, who immediately punished Karl, walked toward the smell.
“huh? Oooooooooot!”
Carl, who had been flinching after being kicked in the side by Ar at Ar’s shout, stood up.
“What did I find!”
“Look at this! It’s a hero record!”
“what?!”
“where! where!”
The party members were surprised and gathered around Are.
“for a moment!”
Leo shouted urgently.
“This… … This is Dweno’s hero record! “What a perfect hero record!”
“what? Show me too! me too! me too!”
Driana, startled, jumped up and down.
“But what are the traces here and there that look like something was burned?”
The moment Eiran touched the Hero Record to show it to Driana.
[Hero Records open. Dweno’s world. Chapter: ■■-■■■■ ■■■.]
A message appeared before my eyes.
“W-what is it?”
“Hero Dungeon?!”
The surrounding area was bathed in bright light.
The entire party members looked at the message that appeared in front of them and cried out in astonishment.
Woe!
My vision was obscured by a familiar light.
With that, Leo opened his eyes.
‘what? Why was Hero Records suddenly opened… … .’
A moment when Leo is embarrassed.
Crash!
“Khehe?!”
“Huh?”
As I lost my balance, I hit something and rolled around on the floor.
“Wow, it’s heavy!”
A sonorous voice came from underneath Leo.
Leo stood up.
“sorry. There were no injuries anywhere… … .”
“you! “What are you doing when you suddenly appear?”
The girl shouted with an angry face.
Eyes raised sharply.
Pursed lips.
And his ears twitched as if he was angry.
It was an elf girl I knew very well.
A girl who has been hit on the head several times for being arrogant if she isn’t cute.
‘Berkiah.’
