458.
It was in the evening, ten days after the fragment of Erebos disappeared, that a guest came to the Plov family’s mansion.
“Everyone, enjoy your meal, I tried my best today.”
Reina smiled and warmly served dinner to her son’s friends.
“and! thank you!”
“It looks so delicious!”
Chelsea and Eyran cheered at the dinner prepared in front of them.
“Your aunt has excellent cooking skills.”
Celia was impressed.
In response to Celia’s admiration, Reina covers her mouth and shouts, “Ho-ho-ho!” I laughed.
Karl muttered as he watched the scene.
“I know. “Most people here are desperate.”
The girls’ eyes glowed eerily.
Carl quickly hid behind Leo.
“The only thing my mother made was the soup, and the chef did everything else.”
“How hard is it to make soup?”
Reina said shamelessly.
A noisy atmosphere developed like that.
Even though the retreat had ended, there were quite a few students spending their vacation on Plov Street.
Perhaps because she liked the lively atmosphere, Raina also treated her son’s friends very kindly.
“Then shall we continue what we were talking about earlier?”
Abad, who was sitting next to Chelsea, stopped eating for a moment and quenched his thirst with water before speaking.
“Regarding the world situation after the subjugation of the Fragments of Erebos.”
As Abad began, Illyana said, picking at her salad with her fork.
“Won’t Tartarus’s power shrink and ours grow victorious?”
“The whole world is definitely in a festive mood right now.”
Taed also nodded and agreed with Illyana.
Celia shook her head at those words.
“My thoughts are a little different.”
“what do you think?”
“There may be a major attack from Tartarus.”
Celia said with a serious face.
“From Tartarus’s perspective, the Erebos fragment was thrown out again like 3,000 years ago. “From their perspective, it was a catastrophic blow.”
“Are you really saying that since we’re on the defensive, we don’t know what they might do?”
Chloe nodded as if she understood.
Leo was lost in thought while listening to the conversation.
‘Hell Kaiser won’t just attack me just because a piece of Erebos has disappeared.’
As Celia said, it is true that Tartarus suffered catastrophic damage.
But even so, due to Hell Kaiser’s personality, now that the Monster Queen has been subdued and the Giant King cannot move.
The probability of unexpected action in a situation where the balance of power is broken is not high.
‘Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll just sit back and do nothing.’
Leo sighed deeply.
‘No matter what, he moves.’
Meanwhile, Raina smiled while listening to the students’ discussion.
‘That’s great. ‘When everyone is in a festive mood, we have such a serious discussion about the future world situation.’
I really thought they were hero candidates.
“Leo, what do you think?”
Runia, who was participating in the conversation, asked Leo as if seeking his opinion.
“I am… … .”
The moment Leo was about to open his mouth.
The restaurant door opened and a maid came over and spoke softly to Raina.
At those words, Reina widened her eyes and stood up.
After a while there was some commotion outside the restaurant.
When all the students who were eating opened their eyes wide.
The door opened and several people came in.
Celia and Chelsea’s eyes widened.
“Uncle Jis?”
“Roses, what are you doing here?”
Sies Gerdinger and Roses Llewalin visited the Plov family.
Other students also looked surprised by the two people’s reaction.
Sies Gerdinger and Roses Llewalin.
Both are Lumern graduates.
In addition, they are highly skilled people in the Rodren Empire.
Although his name is not listed on the hero record, he has skills equal to that of a hero, and his status and status within the Rodren Empire make it no exaggeration to say that he is a hero.
I couldn’t help but be surprised that such big names suddenly appeared.
“I heard something big happened. I can’t believe I overcame the ordeal. “That’s great.”
Jis walked up to his nephews Leo and Celia and patted their shoulders.
“What are you doing here?”

“I came to deliver a personal letter from His Majesty.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor?”
Celia, Chelsea, and Abad looked surprised.
The pinnacle of power in the western part of the continent.
A personal letter from the Emperor of Rodraen?
“Lord Roses.”
Rose nodded at Jis’s words and approached Leo.
“Leo Plov of the Gerdinger family, please receive the Emperor’s letter.”
At those words, Leo stood in front of Roses with a puzzled expression.
Rose, with a serious expression on his face, was about to take out a luxurious box containing a letter from subspace.
There was a commotion outside again.
“What the hell is going on?”
Karl peeked his head out the door with a puzzled expression.
“omg?!”
And then he let out a startled scream.
“what’s the matter?”
When Chloe asked with a puzzled look, Karl said.
“There are all kinds of races in the living room!”
“what?”
“But they’re all big guys!”
It was just as Carl said.
Outside the restaurant, many of the biggest names in the world’s newspapers were gathered.
“I have a rough idea of what the situation is.”
Reina crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes.
As a Lumern graduate, Reina quickly grasped the situation.
“What is the situation, aunt?”
“All those visiting our family now belong to the Heroes’ Guild.”
“yes? Why from the Heroes’ Guild to the Plov family?”
“I guess it’s to recruit Leo.”
Everyone’s eyes widened at those words.
***
“Hero Guild guys. “What are your intentions?”
Riina spoke in a nervous voice from Rumern’s principal’s office.
Hero Guild.
This is a group of people who walk the path of heroes, led by heroes whose names are listed on the Hero Record.
There are many hero guilds in the world.
And the factions they belong to are also diverse.
In order to support heroes, the country may take the lead in creating a guild, or famous hero families may join together to create a guild.
Or, it may be founded by graduates of the Hero Military Academy.
In particular, the hero guilds of the hero academy have a deep history.
In the case of the hero guild belonging to the hero academy, the founders were all people who learned from the heroes of the dawn of time.
It has a strong influence in that it is closely related to 3,000 years of history and the heroes of the dawn of time, and there are many people who wish to join.
However, joining the team itself is also difficult.
“Since you are from this school, you all probably know the rules well, right?”
“They say the guild union made a recommendation to the board of directors. In fact, there are a number of hero guilds that have made moves.”
The news that Halind delivered to Riina was that the Hero Guild was trying to offer students to join.
Guild members of the Hero Guild are dispatched to the front lines in the battle against Tartarus.
The Hero Guild’s activities are too risky.
Therefore, students are prohibited from joining the Hero Guild.
But now, the Hero Guild has suggested that the rule be lifted.
Riina saw through the reason why the hero guilds made this move.
“Is it to recruit Leo Plov?”
The reason the Hero Guild proposed a change to Lumern’s school rules was to recruit Leo.
All class like Kyle, the hero of the beginning.
In addition, he is the unprecedentedly youngest student council president in Lumerun history.
Up to that point, he is a talent worthy of being coveted by some hero guilds.
‘But Leo Plov’s value went beyond that.’
Riina narrowed her eyes.
A boy still 16 years old.
An age that holds tremendous potential.
However, he was already evaluated as having surpassed the strongest of Lumern and may have a power comparable to that of a hero.
However, in this revival of the Erebos fragment, Leo played an active role on the front lines along with the hero Aron and the Dragon Lord.
Most people paid attention to the resurrected hero and the performance of the ‘Silent Dragon’ who broke silence, but the Hero Guild paid attention to Leo, who was still only a student.
“Because he has proven that he is not just a power comparable to a hero, but a power that surpasses that of most heroes. “What exactly is your disciple?”
“It’s okay to call him a disciple. “I haven’t taught him much.”
As a teacher in Rumern for a long time, Halind was in charge of many students, but he was the first to have a student who had as little to teach as Leo.
“Skills, personality, tendencies, goals. “It is no exaggeration to say that this guy was literally born to be a hero.”
Riina nodded at Halind’s words.
It’s no wonder that the hero guild covets him.
“But there is a degree.”
Riina frowned as she looked down at the documents.
The goal of the hero guilds is to recruit Leo.
In addition, the golden generation, which is evaluated as having a promising future, is recruited into the guild.
“We don’t know what kind of disaster will hit the world, but they are thinking of it as an opportunity.”
Just as Riina is very wary of Tartarus’ movements.
Hero guilds were also on guard against Tartarus.
And there are those who see the current situation as an opportunity.
“The public usually says that heroes are noble beings.”
Riina narrowed her eyes.
A hero is a great being who can only become one by overcoming trials.
And it is also true that it looks noble to the extent that it is recognized by the gods.
In reality, noble heroes exist.
but… … .
“If there is light, there is also darkness.”
The gods are not very interested in the personality and thoughts of those who have achieved great feats.
You can put your name on the hero record simply by accomplishing a feat that is praised as great.
“That’s why many heroes have eccentric personalities.”
Riina clicked her tongue at Halind’s words.
“You’re lucky as long as you’re eccentric. “It’s a problem because there are also crazy people who don’t have the slightest doubt about their own justice.”
Heroes are not as noble and great as people think.
Among them, there are those who do not hesitate to commit cruel acts for their own justice.
Also, those who do not hesitate to sacrifice cattle for the greater good.
And there are countless heroes with their own ambitions.
A hero is a being who leads the world.
There are many people who are intoxicated with the fact that they are chosen by God.
Riina rested her chin.
‘This may be the reason why Tartarus has not been subjugated for 5,000 years.’
After the era of disaster came to an end.
The power of Tartarus was drastically reduced.
The Age of Heroes began, and the power of the heroes rapidly grew stronger.
Of course, there were three disastrous legion commanders in Tartarus.
But even so, it was difficult to raise the declining forces of Tartarus to the level of the Age of Calamity.
Rather, it would not be strange if the power decreased.
However, despite numerous large-scale wars over the past 5,000 years, Tartarus’ power has grown stronger.
The reason was simple.
‘Because what each person wants is different.’
There are many heroes, and there are ideals and justice that come with them.
So, although the goal may be the same, the process is not smooth.
The world has been more in check than cooperation according to each individual’s interests.
In contrast, Tartarus has been driven by only one goal.
That was the biggest cause of the current world situation.
It’s still the same now.
Leo Plov and other excellent hero candidates are wanted to realize their own justice.
‘And I can’t say that the definition is necessarily right.’
“Really, now Leo Plov is no longer just a student.”
Riina sighed.
“It’s the center of the times.”
