Legendary Hero is an Academy Honors Student Chapter 531

531.

Runia looked at Leo sitting in front of her with nervous eyes.

Eiran poured black tea into Runia’s teacup and gave her a puzzled look.

“Miss Runia, where are you hurting?”

“what? No, I’m fine. why?”

“You look somehow uncomfortable. “It feels like I’m breaking into a cold sweat.”

“Oh, that?”

Runia glanced at Leo with an awkward expression.

Then, when he made eye contact with Leo, he was startled and lowered his head.

Seeing Runia like that, Chen Xia, who was standing next to Leo, blinked her big eyes a few times and then smiled.

“I thought Miss Runia was a badass, but surprisingly, she’s an honor student.”

“What is Makgapa? “It’s so bad.”

When Runia raised her eyes and looked at Chen Xia, Eiran, who put his index finger on his chin, looked at the ceiling, thought for a moment, and then smiled brightly.

“It feels more like a gangster than a gangster.”

“what? “Why am I such a thug!”

“hmm… … Then a delinquent student?”

When Chen Xia tilted her head, Eiran smiled brightly as if she sympathized.

“These!”

Runia, who had clenched her fists and jumped up from her seat, instantly made eye contact with Leo and sat down in shock.

“Sorry for making a fuss… … Oh no! Sorry.”

After saying that, he looked at me secretly and muttered.

“… … yo. this.”

Looking at Runia like that, Eiran, who approached Chen Xia, whispered.

“Why is Miss Runia so obnoxious?”

“Isn’t it because I’ve treated Leo so poorly up to this point?”

“surely.”

“… … .”

Runia closed her eyes tightly.

It certainly struck me that I had acted in accordance with Leo’s personality up to this point.

But more than that… … .

‘It’s strange that you guys are so calm!’

Runia shouted inwardly.

He is a great hero like no other.

Among them, the hero of the beginning who defeated Erebos as the last man standing!

‘It’s natural to be conscious of it!’

From the looks of it, all of Lumern’s students who knew Leo’s identity were calm.

‘What on earth did the Lumern kids think like this! Did Eiran also have some color in it?’

Certainly things have changed a bit since I recently went to Rumern as an exchange student.

Leo said while looking at Runia, who was looking at Eiran with confused eyes.

“Airan, Runia. “I have something to tell you.”

“What is the story? “Leo.”

Eiran, who was sitting next to Runia, looked puzzled.

Runia, who was observing Leo’s mood, realized something and asked, wondering if it could be possible.

“Leo. “Do you know the criminal who attacked the principal?”

When Runia asked with a stern face, Eiran’s expression suddenly changed.

“Really?”

Runia looked at Eiran with a slightly embarrassed face.

Given the situation, it was natural for Eiran to be angry.

But even so, it was my first time hearing Eiran’s cold voice like this.

While Runia was surprised by that unfamiliar appearance.

Eiran opened his eyes sharply.

“Who is the culprit?”

It feels like it’s going to cut at any moment.

Leo closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he looked at that scene.

“Master Leo.”

Chen Xia called out worriedly.

Leo opened his eyes, looked back at Chen Xia, and then smiled.

“are you okay.”

I know what Chen Xia is worried about.

Chen Xia probably knows it well.

What does Berkia mean to Eiran?

‘That’s why we need to make it even more known.’

At first, Leo hesitated to tell Eiran the truth.

However, Rune spoke to Leo who was worried about such things.

‘Airan is the heir of the Ersar family.’

It meant that Eiran had the right to know everything and that even if he knew the truth, he would not break down.

If it hadn’t been Leo in the first place, Rune would have told that story directly to Eiran.

“It’s just as Runia said, Eiran. “I know who killed your grandfather.”

“Who is it?”

Eiran’s eyes glowed eerily.

Runia’s eyes also turned cold.

Looking at the two elves, Leo opened his mouth.

“Berkhia.”

When the name was mentioned out of the blue, Eiran and Runia looked confused.

Looking at the two, Leo continued.

“The culprit in the incident is my student… … Eiran, this is your ancestor, Berkia.”

Eiran’s face stiffened.

After a while, his face began to turn white.

Leo said while looking at that.

“Tonight, I plan to leave to find Berkia.”

Chen Xia said in response to Leo’s words.

“Can we find Verkia in the northern part of this vast continent?”

Leo said, looking at Chen Xia who asked a little worriedly.

“I found out which direction Berkia was headed.”

Chen Xia looked a little surprised at those words.

But I soon understood.

Before coming to the Ersar family.

Leo and Chen Xia stopped by the scene of the incident.

There were countless clues at the crime scene.

It wouldn’t have been difficult for Leo to find clues about where Berkia was headed at the scene.

‘Because Master Leo is the first shadow.’

The shadow had to be good at chasing.

There’s no way Leo couldn’t do that.

Chen Xia knew full well that Leo had reached a far higher level than himself in that field.

“I won’t tell you to follow me. “Because it’s dangerous.”

In response to Leo’s words, Runia asked cautiously in a heavy voice.

“Leo, can’t you defeat Berkia-sama too?”

“I can’t guarantee. “You wouldn’t know it back when I was Kyle, but with sheer power, Berkia far surpassed me now.”

Leo said calmly.

“And my words won’t make any sense to Berkia now. “You could lose your life.”

Chen Xia said those words.

“Even if you try to stop me, I will follow Master Leo. Especially if it’s a dangerous place.”

“I’m going too, Luna-sama was definitely worried about Berkia-sama.”

Runia spoke in a voice filled with determination.

“I don’t know if it will be of help. “I really want to do my best to persuade Berkia.”

After listening to the two people, Leo nodded and looked at Eiran.

“I am… … .”

Eiran pursed his lips.

Eiran lowered his eyes and spoke powerfully.

“I want to meet Berkia.”

It reminds me of Berkia I met at Hero Records.

I still didn’t want to believe it.

Did Berkia become corrupted and become undead?

Have you become a being burning with hatred?

But I knew full well that Leo would never lie about something like this.

It was a shock.

But I didn’t want to look away.

“I want to meet and talk with him.”

I don’t know what to talk about.

My mind was still blank from shock.

I was so confused that I couldn’t even figure out why I wanted to meet Berkia.

I just thought that I had to stop it somehow.

Eiran bit his lip.

Leo said while looking at the three girls.

“We will leave as soon as preparations are complete.”

With those words, Leo left the room.

The three girls pursed their lips in an atmosphere that was clearly different from usual.

It was clear that a difficult journey awaits us ahead.

***

A week has passed since Leo and his group started chasing Berkia.

Leo followed, tracing the reverberations of Berkia’s mana that he remembered.

But after a week, the traces of mana also disappeared.

Whioooooooo-!

In the forest where a blizzard raged, Leo sighed deeply.

“It’s difficult.”

No matter how much Leo is, he can’t leave a trace of his disappearance.

“First of all, I think we should spend the night in this forest today.”

“okay.”

Leo nodded at Chen Xia’s words.

It was already late.

There was nothing to be gained by moving beyond this point.

The group quickly got ready for bed.

Runia took out a tent from subspace.

In the North, a continent with cold winters, severe cold arrives earlier than in other regions.

And the extreme cold is very harsh.

No matter how hardened a hero candidate was, sleeping in a snowstorm was difficult.

Therefore, in Seilun, we learned thoroughly how to prepare for camping since first grade.

Chen Xia came into the tent and muttered in wonder.

“Even so, I definitely can’t get used to it. “I can’t believe elves with a noble image are so used to camping.”

“Then what? “Did you think we were building a mansion with magic every time we slept outside?”

“Yes, I think Seilun would have done that.”

Runia sighed as she looked at Chen Xia who nodded in a serious voice.

“I know what the guys from other schools think of us.”

Clicking her tongue, Runia took off her coat in one of the tents.

Grumble-!

When Runia used magic, the inside of the tent became warm.

The inside of the tent was spacious, so sleeping four people was not a problem.

Runia said as she unfolded the round table taken out of subspace in the center of the tent.

“Everyone gather together first.”

At those words, Leo, Chen Xia, and Eiran gathered around Runia.

Runia said as she spread out a map of the northern part of the continent on the round table.

“First of all, this is our route so far.”

After leaving El Salvecia, all of our travel routes for a week were recorded on the map.

“I was wandering aimlessly.”

“Because it won’t be normal.”

After organizing the route of movement that followed Berkia, he seemed to be wandering here and there without any clue.

Runia nodded at Leo’s words.

“That’s right, Berkia-sama, you don’t know about the current era. But he didn’t even show himself in front of other people.”

There were villages big and small along the route over the past week.

However, I was told that there was not a single outsider in the village.

“This is just my opinion, but no matter how undead you become, Berkia-sama is still Berkia-sama. He would never harm those who have done nothing wrong. So it’s clear that you only plan to punish the target.”

Runia’s red eyes turned to the map.

“Then wouldn’t it be highly likely that you headed here?”

Runia pointed to a place on the map with her hand.

Not far from where the party is currently located, there was a small city-state called ‘Eldon’.

Chen Xia said after seeing the place.

“It is the place where the Pureblood Association’s power is the strongest in the northern part of the continent.”

“That’s right.”

Runia frowned.

Eldon is a country filled with pure-bloodism, starting from its parliament and even its citizens.

To put it in a good way, it is a typical elf with strong pride in its race, and in a bad way, it is full of back and forth.

Therefore, it was an unpleasant neighborhood for even Runia to set foot in.

“So I thought it would be a good idea to investigate this place. how is it?”

Runia spoke carefully, looking at Leo’s eyes.

Leo, who was listening to the explanation, nodded.

It was a decision she could make because she was Runia, who knew the situation in the northern part of the continent well.

“good idea. “It’s great.”

Runia smiled at those words.

The goal has been set.

Afterwards, we talked about what to do after entering Eldon.

However, throughout the conversation, Eiran just had a blank expression on his face.

Runia and Chen Xia looked at Eiran with concern.

“Airan, are you really okay?”

“yes. I’m fine.”

Eiran nodded in a somewhat weak voice.

It was like that all week.

Eiran lowered his head and pursed his lips.

***

Whioooooooo!

The sound of a howling snowstorm echoed inside the tent.

The tent was dark.

It was a dark snowy night outside, and there was no light inside the tent.

However, Leo was lying in his sleeping bag with his eyes open inside the tent.

Even in the dark, Leo could clearly see the dagger in his hand.

‘Bihar.’

What was held in Leo’s hand was none other than the dagger of Bihar.

‘How can I get that damn guy to listen?’

In the pitch-black darkness, he asked another of his students an unanswered question.

‘And can you forgive Berkia?’

The reason Bihar lost his life was none other than the wounds he received during the fight in Berkia.

Bihar also suddenly lost his life due to Berquier’s reckless driving.

Bihar also closed his eyes, unable to fully convey his intentions to his children.

If Bihar had lived longer, the lives of her descendants might have been a little different.

What was Bihar thinking as he closed his eyes?

‘He must have resented Berkia.’

It was time to gently close my eyes and apply strength to the dagger in my hand.

Hwioooo- hurriedly- hurriedly-

The sound of snow being stepped on was heard through Leo’s sensitive hearing.

Sigh! Whioooooooo!

The sound of the tent entrance being carefully opened was followed by the sound of a strong snowstorm.

Sabak- Sabak-

The person who entered the tent approached Leo with cautious steps.

Finally, the intruder opened his mouth in a trembling voice.

“Leo… … Good night?”

The person who came to Leo’s tent in the middle of the night was none other than Eiran.

“Can’t you sleep?”

“yes.”

Eiran, Runia, and Chen Xia were using the same tent, and Leo was using a separate, small tent.

Since we had to wash our bodies and change our clothes, it was natural to separate the spaces.

In the darkness, Leo looked at Eiran.

In this cold weather, my pajamas were wet, probably due to the blizzard.

Additionally, my body was shivering because of the cold weather.

“Just wait, I’ll make you some warm tea.”

“The car is okay.”

Eyran answered with a trembling voice and shook his head.

“just.”

Eiran closed the distance between himself and Leo.

“Can I sleep with you, Leo?”
