528.
The dungeon door opened.
“Leo.”
Then Mel, who had been waiting, hurriedly ran over.
“Are you okay?”
“Do you think I will be bullied by these young juniors?”
“Not really.”
Mel shook her head as she looked at Leo, who was laughing.
I know that Leo has not yet regained all the strength he had in his past life.
If you look at it purely in terms of strength, the heroes of Gaebyeok have the upper hand.
but… … .
‘You have different experiences.’
The heroes of Gaebyeok are also heroes who prevented the destruction of the world.
Fixing the shaking world. Defeat the Erebos Piece. He is a great hero who drove out Tartarus.
However, Leo is a great hero who saved the world from the brink of destruction.
He lived through more miserable times than the heroes of the Gaebyeok era and overcame endless battlefields.
It is not because the heroes of the new era lacked experience.
It’s just that what Leo has achieved is so enormous that it’s hard to imagine.
That’s why I thought that even if there was a clear difference in power, the current Leo would be able to make up for it.
“Well, if it were them, I would have had a hard time too. “With dolls like that.”
Mel exclaimed.
I know Leo is Kyle, but even so, it’s surprising.
“Anyway, what kind of hero dungeon is it that dolls imitating the heroes of Gaebyeok have appeared?”
Mel’s face becomes infinitely serious.
Because of Leo, we were able to stop it without suffering much damage. Without him, we would have suffered tremendous damage.
Looking at Mel like that, Leo secretly remembered something.
‘If I were to tell you that God created a doll to test me, but the doll ran amok and went out, what kind of expression would he make?’
“What on earth was inside?”
In response to Mel’s question, Leo thought of An.
‘Hero of the great beginning! Please stay a little longer! This humble servant of yours would like to serve you more! I want to look more into your eyes! Please don’t go! ‘At least one more cup of tea!’
He thought of Rian crying bitterly, holding on to his pants even as he was being kicked.
“Madman, no. “There was some fanaticism involved.”
“yes?”
Even the Dragon Lord, a descendant of Lysinas, the King of Wisdom, could not understand those words.
Leo said while looking at Lisinas, who had a puzzled expression on his face.
“I decided to talk about what happened inside later.”
Leo took a deep breath.
“I guess I’ll have to move to find Berkia myself.”
“ah… … .”
Mel’s eyes widened at Leo’s words.

“Class president, the atmosphere has been strange since yesterday.”
next day.
Heroology class time.
At the gathering where all the second-year students were gathered, Illyana secretly looked at Leo and muttered softly.
Illyana wasn’t the only one watching Leo.
Not only the students in the same dormitory but also the entire second year were looking at Leo with no expression on their faces.
“Something doesn’t seem right, Chloe, Sia. “Do you know anything?”
Illyana asked Chloe and Chen Xia, the representatives of the same dormitory as Leo.
The two girls also looked at each other’s faces and shook their heads.
‘What happened yesterday?’
Chen Xia looked at Leo with a serious face.
The Leo that Chen Xia knows is a person who never loses his composure.
‘Since you are a great hero, it would be natural for you not to bat an eyelid at certain matters.’
An ordeal that might feel like a typhoon to Chen Xia would be a breeze to Leo.
That’s why Leo’s heavy atmosphere weighed on Chen Xia’s heart.
‘It must be related to Berkia-sama, right?’
Other than that, I can’t think of anything else that would make Leo react like that.
Chen Xia clenched her fists.
‘I’m still not good enough.’
Currently, Shan’s shadows are following Berkia’s movements.
Of course, the fact that Berkia might have been resurrected as an undead was kept completely silent.
Even for the Empire of Shadows, it is not an easy task.
‘I need to give you strength.’
Chen Xia pursed her lips.
Not only Chen Xia.
Not only Chloe, but also Celia and Abad are looking at Leo with concern.
Even Duran, Eliza, and Warrenden glance at Leo as if they are concerned about him.

The atmosphere is heavy.
Everyone knows it.
Leo was unwavering in the face of any hardships and trials.
Leo’s heavy atmosphere was enough to weigh down the entire second year.
No matter what anyone said, Leo was their leader.
Just like Lisinas did 5,000 years ago.
At that time, Chelsea sat down next to Leo.
“Oppa Leo?”
Chelsea cautiously called out to Leo.
But Leo, who was deep in thought, did not hear those words.
What happened early in the morning came back strongly to Leo’s mind.
A disciple who was ultimately buried in darkness.
‘It wasn’t Tartarus that made Berkia like that.’
It was clear that the Demon Queen was the one who ended the lives of Berkia’s loved ones.
But in the end, the culprit was the malice of people consumed by desire.
I lost my temper and went wild.
He tried to judge all those who committed sins.
Leo also has no intention of showing mercy to those who trample on others for their own desires.
However, even so, we cannot judge all those who have committed ‘sins’.
‘Because that’s also part of the world.’
However, Berkia tried to judge those who committed sins without mercy, regardless of the reason.
‘That’s clearly wrong.’
The interests of the world are complex.
If you ask Kyle in the past whether the world was bright before the era of disaster came.
Kyle would have answered no without hesitation.
It’s still the same now.
The world today is also rotten here and there.
But if you cut out all the rotten parts, there would be nothing left of the world.
‘Because I’m not a very good person.’
Even good people do evil.
Even evil people do good.
The world cannot be simply divided into good and evil because it is intertwined with complex interests.
Berkia couldn’t have known that either.
It would simply be impossible to look ahead.
‘The gods said that the era of disaster had begun because their era was too bright.’
In order to benefit the world, the gods drove out Erebos, the evil of the beginning, beyond the darkness.
Thanks to this, the world did not face the existence of destruction for a long time.
But it brought about a disaster that reduced the entire world to ashes.
The same was true for Berkia.
The more she wants to lead the world into light.
As if in opposition, the shadow also became darker.
but… … .
‘There’s nothing wrong with that.’
That’s why it was difficult.
What should I say to Berkia, who knows the darkness better than anyone else and has looked into the abyss deeper than anything else?
Will his words reach Berkia, who has closed her ears?
and… … .
‘Will we be able to stop Berkia’s rampage that even took the lives of Bihar?’
I have no intention of giving up on Berkia.
I want to do whatever it takes to make you come to your senses.
but… … .
‘In the worst case scenario, I might have to put him to rest.’
Even if you are a Leo, that part is scary.
I spoke confidently to Lian, but I was afraid that I would not be able to help my student who had inevitably fallen into darkness.
‘What if I can’t save Berkia?’
It was when Leo bit his lip.
sudden-!
Someone pulled Leo by force.
Light blue eyes came into Leo’s field of vision.
Students around me covered their mouths or let out surprised exclamations.
Leo also looked at the person who grabbed his face with both hands and pulled him with surprised eyes.
Chelsea made eye contact with Leo and blinked her big eyes several times.
They are so close that they can almost touch each other’s breath.
Our gazes were intertwined several times from very close quarters.
Chelsea quietly let go.
Leo, who was forced to make eye contact with Chelsea, massaged her neck.
“My throat hurts a bit?”
“That’s because no matter how many times I called, there was no answer.”
Chelsea pouted her lips and grunted.
Somewhat immature behavior.
However, it is a behavior that is most suitable for a child of that age.
Chelsea rolled her eyes and looked around.
“What are you looking at? “Did you see it?!”
Then, the gaze that had been focused for a moment dispersed in all directions.
The only compliant opponents Chelsea has are Leo and her older brother, Abad.
In front of the two of them, he was a little angel, but in front of others, he was a little devil.
‘Even if you say you’re obedient, it’s still different from just listening well.’
Basically, Chelsea has a temper.
When training with Leo, there were many times when I was attacked by evil.
‘And then he smiles again as if he’s never done that before.’
It’s like a fickle wind.
“What are you thinking about for so long?”
Chelsea tilted her head.
Celia, Chloe, Duran, Abad, Eliza, Warrenden, etc.
Those who did not know Leo’s identity had a serious expression on their faces when they saw Leo’s mood today.
Chen Siana Karl, who knew Leo’s identity, looked even more serious.
But Chelsea didn’t care.
It just comes like a breeze and asks why.
That actually puts my mind at ease.
‘If you think about it, Chelsea is the only one whose attitude hasn’t changed at all even though she found out who I am.’
Runia, Eiran, Chen Xia.
Even the subtle attitude towards Carl, who has a good reputation, has changed.
We are still as close as before without any flaws.
‘But what should I say? Yes, I should say I respect it.’
There is nothing we can do about such views.
But not Chelsea.
It’s consistent.
Leo is a great hero or not.
Saved the world or not.
Just as an object of admiration.
I just looked at it as someone who would follow behind me and stand by my side someday.
Chelsea bounced her legs cheerfully and muttered to herself.
‘I just do what I want to do.’
‘Kyle has carried too much of a burden. I will never share that burden. So please. As Kyle’s younger brother… … Be Leo’s strength. ‘Please provide a space where Leo can laugh comfortably.’
Chelsea recalled what Aron said before leaving.
If possible, I want to shoulder the burden that Leo carries.
But if you don’t share that burden.
‘Maybe I can hold you next to me so you don’t fall.’
Sometimes it can even support your back.
They cannot be equal.
The years we have accumulated are different, and the paths we have walked are very different.
An object to be followed for the rest of your life with a longing gaze.
I will be under Leo’s shadow for the rest of my life.
But that’s because it was.
‘I can support you.’
If others had heard, they might have wondered what help it could be for a great hero.
But Chelsea didn’t care.
Chelsea smiled and looked up at Leo.
‘Because Leo oppa is Leo oppa.’
The first hero I admired.
That innocent smile somehow reminded me of Berkia.
Leo reached out and stroked her light blue hair.
“Heeheehee-”
Chelsea smiled like a cat as if the touch felt good.
“Chelsea, if you’ve gone down the wrong path, what do you think I can do to make you listen to me?”
“huh?”
Chelsea’s eyes widened at Leo’s question.
And then, he rolled his eyes here and there a few times and then spoke.
“Am I speechless?”
“okay.”
“Hmm-! “It’s difficult!”
Chelsea, who had been contemplating with her arms crossed, frowned.
“First of all, if you were Leo, you would hit me on the head, right?”
“yes.”
“Aren’t you going to kick some butt too?”
“of course.”
“Stop teasing my ass.”
“When do you say I harassed you?”
“You tried to burn your ass in front of so many people during the entrance exam. “I’m married, take responsibility.”
“So, shouldn’t you have listened better then?”
It was a time when Chelsea was the only one full of rebellion against Leo.
Chelsea looked at Leo who was being obnoxious without even batting an eye, and with a sullen expression on her face, she fell into thought again.
“Still, it’s scary if I lose my senses.”
“huh?”
“Even if I come to my senses, I won’t do anything nasty.”
“You know me well.”
“Even if I don’t want to do that, I think I’ll come to my senses.”
Leo rested his chin and laughed at Chelsea’s words.
“okay?”
I felt much lighter.
‘Yes, you just have to leave him alone until he comes to his senses.’
What did you think was so complicated?
Leo, who was bursting out laughing, soon smiled softly.
‘I have to worry about that damn student rebelling because he’s stronger.’
The power of Berkia that we saw in the Akasha Record was so powerful that it was difficult for Leo to handle it now.
‘Yes, it was not a time to wonder how to persuade, but a time to worry about how to beat.’
It was when Leo stroked his chin.
Suddenly-!
The classroom door opened and Eiran came in.
All the second graders looked puzzled at her appearance.
As an exchange student, she is a very diligent honors student.
Coming to class early is a basic of basics.
But you arrived just in time before class?
Moreover, all of her close students are already in the classroom.
While everyone was wondering, Eiran approached Leo with a white face.
And he shouted with a face that looked like he was going to cry.
“Leo! Grandpa… … “Grandpa!”
Leo’s face stiffened at the sight of Eiran like that.
