529.
Turp-plop-
Leo walked down the hallway and looked around.
The body had already been recovered, but blood stains everywhere told the story of the horrors that had occurred here.
Leo looked at the blood splattered on the floor and wall in silence.
Chen Xia was standing behind Leo.
Originally, outsiders were not allowed to enter this place.
However, Leo was able to investigate this place without difficulty with Melina’s authority.
After completing the field investigation, Leo returned to the entrance.
Sreung-!
And then he pulled out his sword.
It was when Chen Xia looked at Leo with a puzzled look.
Sigh-!
Leo advanced slowly swinging his sword in the air.
wickedness! Suak-!
It was slow, but the sharp sound of the sword cutting through the air was heard.
Chen Xia looked surprised when she saw that.
‘You’re reenacting what happened here.’
Blood is scattered where Leo’s sword passed.
Leo’s sword suddenly stopped after passing through the hallway and reaching the inside of the conference room.
Then he lowered his sword and closed his eyes.
This goes without saying, but Leo knows all of Berkia’s swordsmanship.
‘Because I taught you.’
It was Aron and Luna who created the framework for Berkia’s swordsmanship and magic, but it was none other than himself who guided him to make that framework his own.
Therefore, it was immediately clear who the culprit who caused this tragedy was.
‘It’s Berkia.’
“Master Leo, please give me an order. Shall we call the shadows?”
Shadow is tasked with finding, pursuing, and exterminating traitors.
That’s why they were good at chasing.
“no.”
Leo shook his head at Chen Xia’s words.
“Not only can’t I find it… … Even if we find it, it’s dangerous.”
Chen Xia bit her lip at Leo’s words.
Chen Xia also vaguely knows.
Who caused this tragedy?
“Let’s go to the Ersar family and join Eiran.”
“To Miss Eiran!”
Chen Xia spoke urgently in response to Leo’s words.
“Shouldn’t we talk to Miss Eiran?”
“… … .”
Leo closed his eyes at those words.
Like Runia, Eiran is also a hero candidate chosen by Leo.
The one who will continue Luna’s legacy and a comrade who will fight alongside her in the future.
Also, she is a girl with a strong will.
But that made me even more hesitant.
‘Airan resembles Berkia.’
This is not simply because they are ancestors and descendants.
In fact, the two have nothing similar.
As thousands of years have passed, the external appearance has not been inherited.
However, their personalities are not similar.
Although he inherited the swordsmanship and magic that had been passed down through his family, those were merely acquired elements.
The only thing Eiran and Berkia have in common is that they are elves and magic swordsmen.
However, despite this, the reason why Leo thought of Berkia when he saw Eiran was because he looked at the world with flawless, clear eyes.
Is it really okay to talk to Eiran like that?
‘That the ancestor you most respect has been resurrected as a dead person burning with hatred?’
If you were Leo not long ago, you would have said this.
Eiran must have believed that he would be able to overcome it.
But to see Berkia like this.
Even as Leo, I was hesitant.
Leo, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“not now.”
***
Ta-ta-ta-tat-!
Eiran was running through the hallways of the Ersar family mansion with a white face.
‘Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa.’
Even while running, Eiran’s hands were shaking.
This is Eiran, who lost both her parents to demons a long time ago.
Rune is the only blood relative she has left.

Moreover, her grandfather was a kind man who understood Eiran, who entered Seirun, left school immaturely, and lived a reclusive and lonely life at home.
‘While I was just thinking about myself again… … !’
Eiran, with his eyes tightly closed, arrived in front of Rune’s door.
The vassals guarding the front bowed their heads.
Eiran opened the door roughly, ignoring the greeting.
bang!
“grandfather!”
When I opened the door and entered, the first thing I saw was the familiar red hair.
Eiran’s best friend, Runia, was sitting in front of Rune’s bed, not knowing what to do.
Eiran’s face turned white as he looked at Runia like that.
“Lu, Miss Runia. Grandfather… … ?”
“What is E? “Is Eiran here?”
Rune, who was lying with her back against the back of the bed, looked for Eiran with a heavy voice.
“yes! grandfather! I’m here! How is your body? It’s okay… … .”
Eiran, who was rushing to the bed, froze.
Several books were found in Rune’s hands.
“Airan, I have no intention of interfering with your reading tastes, but it is quite extreme… … .”
“Aaaah!”
Eiran, whose face was red, screamed and ran to Rune and hastily snatched up the book.
Looking at Eiran like that, Rune made a serious expression.
“I understand all these expenses. Your mother often read books like this too. Although her tastes were different. Anyway, that’s why you were born at such an early age… … .”
“Ahhhh! Argh! “Ahh!”
Eiran screamed like crazy, covering Rune’s voice.
Runia looked away as if embarrassed.
Eiran, relaxed, sat down on the floor and said.
“Ma, weren’t you in a lot of pain? She clearly suffered major injuries… … .”
“When did it become an enemy wound and your life goes back and forth because of it? The wounds are all healed. However, as I am getting older, I am also worried about the aftereffects. Ugh. “When I get old, I have to die.”
Rune said, tapping his waist.
If he were human, he might not have been able to adapt well to seeing Rune, who had the appearance of a handsome young man, like that.
However, to the elves Runia and Eiran, it literally looked like the complaining of an old man.
Eiran looked as if his soul was about to escape from that nonchalant appearance.
“How did you find those books?”
“Grandpa could clean up her granddaughter’s room.”
“Do not! “I have a private life too!”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t read the diary.”
“Of course it is!”
Eiran, who had been convulsing at Rune’s words, took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at Runia.
“Anyway, why is Miss Runia at my house… … ?”
“The principal called me and we were having a meeting.”
“Oh, I interrupted you.”
“yes I’m fine. “Because we were talking about you too?”
“My story?”
“Yes, I was wondering about your unusual reading tastes… … Huh? Hehehehe!”
Eiran, who was in tears, strangled Runia as if in a fit.
***
Only after there was a commotion did the real Eiran ask Rune.
“Why didn’t you tell me right away what happened?! “Do you know how surprised I was!”
Rune smiled at Eiran’s words.
“Airan, you know very well that my status among the elves is by no means low.”
Rune Ersar is the head of the El Salvekian council and serves as the principal of Seirun, albeit temporarily.
“Currently, Seirun is in a state of internal chaos. In such a situation, if news spread that I had been attacked, Seilun, or rather the race itself, would be in turmoil internally. “Do you want to understand me?”
Eiran bit his lip tightly at Rune’s words.
Eiran knows that too.
Not only Seilun, but the entire elven society was currently experiencing great changes in a short period of time.
Until last winter, it seemed like the change was definitely for the better.
‘Luna’s descent was the beginning.’
It was an unprecedented event that no one could have imagined.
It has to be that way.
The advent of the great hero who saved the world 5,000 years ago?
Who would have imagined it?
Thanks to this, the elves, who had strong pride in their race, became even more arrogant.
Of all the great heroes, why did only Luna return to this world?
Isn’t it because elves are special?
The elves who witnessed the miracle naturally had such thoughts.
As a result, the position of pure-blooded elf supremacists became stronger.
Eiran witnessed this firsthand in Seirun.
It was around that time.
The ‘Star Magic Introduction’ has appeared, making it easier for anyone to learn star magic, which was thought to be the exclusive domain of elves.
As soon as the magic book written by Ren appeared in the world, it was designated as a banned book and condemned among the elves.
For thousands of years, elves have been called a magical race.
The reason was the star magic left behind by Luna.
And Ren’s magical theory challenges the authority of the elves that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Most elves had no intention of acknowledging the Introduction to Star Magic.
The elves, who had originally avoided interaction with the outside world, showed signs of trying to build walls with other races.
It was then.
The second miracle occurred.
The coming of the comet wizard Seilun.
The great elf figure, said to be the successor to the progenitor of the nebula, has appeared again.
A major incident that would have raised the eyebrows of elf supremacists.
However, that historical moment was shattered when the current elven society was denied by Seilun.
Rather than the students of Seilun Academy, who could be said to be his descendants, he recognized the students of Rumern as his ‘successors.’
As a result, the upheaval in elven society turned into chaos.
Those with a broad perspective moved quickly to adapt to changes.
But many did not.
Shocked that their great ancestor had not acknowledged them and anxious that they might have been wrong all this time, the elves wandered around without any clue.
Meanwhile, the progenitor of Nebula returned again.
And as eyewitness accounts of a conflict between Luna and the Pureblood Society continued, elf society faced even greater confusion.
Fortunately, there were certainly heroes who would resolve this chaos and lead the race.
And one of them was Rune Ersar, an elder of the Elven Council.
If it were known that he was found in the bloody meeting hall of the Pureblood Association, it was obvious that elf society would be turned upside down.
Due to the situation, it took quite a while for the news to reach Rune’s granddaughter, Eiran.
“But, you can still tell me. “How worried I was!”
Resentment lingers in his trembling voice.
However, tears welled up in my eyes because I was worried about Rune.
“So, who is the culprit?”
Eiran’s tearful eyes showed a rare expression of life.
Looking at that, Rune’s face hardened.
The culprit knows.
But can I pass that on to my granddaughter?
Rune pondered for a moment and then quickly changed the topic.
“Let’s talk about the culprit later, didn’t student Leo come along? “I think I definitely asked you to come with me.”
“Leo, did you say you had somewhere to stop by?”
“Where to stop?”
Rune tilted his head as if wondering.
“Yes, he said he was going to the crime scene.”
“It’s an incident scene.”
It was when Rune muttered softly.
smart-
“Matriarch, a guest has arrived.”
“Come on in.”
With Rune’s words, the door opened and Leo and Chen Xia appeared.
“Leo!”
“Oh, you’re here…” … ah. no. I’m here? Leo?”
Eiran greeted Leo warmly, and Runia greeted him with an awkward smile.
Rune stared at Runia.
Runia made eye contact with Rune for a moment and quickly looked away.
Rune asked Leo.
“Did you see the crime scene well?”
“yes.”
“okay. Unfortunately, that’s what he did.”
“Him?”
“Grandpa, do you know the culprit?”
Runia and Eiran widened their eyes at Rune’s sudden words.
Chen Xia also looked surprised and embarrassed.
Leo stared at Rune in silence.
There is no change in facial expression.
But it was clear that the elder elf in front of me had realized something.
Rune’s eyes, with a deep sense of experience, shine wisely.
“I have something to talk about alone with Leo for a moment, so the other students please leave.”
Rune smiled and spoke to the three girls.
The three girls looked at each other at the sudden words and left the room.
Squeak-thump-!
When the door closed, Rune stood up.
Rune got up and used magic to block the voices inside the room from leaking out.
Rune, who had finished preparing her defenses, knelt down and bowed politely to Leo.
“Rune Ersar, the 38th head of the Ersar family, offers greetings to the hero of the great beginning.”
