419.
“There are many good stores in Lumern.”
“Really. “All the cakes are delicious!”
At Runia’s words, Eiran, who was holding a fork, cupped his cheek and made a happy expression.
Looking at those two people, Luca, another representative of Seirun’s second year, grinned.
“I wish our school could be like this too.”
“that’s right. that’s right.”
Although Luca was one of the top three most talented students in the second year, he was deprived of his class representative position from the first semester of the second year due to the policy of the Pureblood Association.
However, as Seilun returned to normal, he returned to his position as representative.
The three of them, who had been called a trio of best friends since first grade, were currently exploring Lumern together.
The three of us were enjoying Rumern for a while.
“Hey, hey.”
Carl came running in a huff.
“what’s the matter?”
“You first-year juniors! “There’s Leah Tingel.”
“Why Leah?”
When Eiran tilted his head and asked, Karl spoke urgently.
“She was caught by Professor Halind and taken to the lab!”
“Professor Halind?”
“Halind is one of the most famous professors in Rumern.”
Halind and Sedzen.
Naturally, the two renowned professors of Rumern are extremely prestigious professors even among other races.
So of course Runia and Eiran knew.
“Why was Leah captured by him?”
Karl said as he looked at Runia asking as she put down the teacup.
“It’s not me. “I guess there was a commotion in the hallway of the first grade classroom building!”
“Ah, he can do that. “Sometimes I go crazy without knowing what to do.”
“Of course Leah has a quirky side.”
“Before, there were a lot of names of Leo’s mentees written in red letters. “In his own words, he calls it a curse or something.”
“Hehe. “It looks like he views that kid named Luke as his rival.”
When Eiran covered his mouth and laughed at Runia’s words, Luca shook his head.
“It’s scary to think of them as simply rivals.”
Carl scratched his head as he looked at the representatives of Seirun chatting peacefully.
“It seems like you don’t understand the seriousness of the situation at all. “You don’t know who Professor Halind is, do you?”
“What kind of person are you?”
“He is called the Rumern Wailing Wall. “He’s the scariest professor in our school!”
Runia placed her chin on Karl’s explanation.
“If there’s a scary teacher, there’s one in Seilun.”
“The level is different! Feed! 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade seniors as well as professors from Rumern! Even the seniors who graduated and had their names on the hero record have an argument in front of Professor Halind!”
Why Khalind is scary.
That’s not just because it’s called the Wailing Wall of Lumern.
Before he was the professor who caused the most expulsions from Lumern, Halind was just a scary person.
Eiran spoke urgently.
“B-but Leah is a Seilun student, right? Even such a scary person is generous to students from other schools… … .”
“Are you generous? “That’s a word that doesn’t suit Professor Halind at all.”
That was when Karl muttered seriously.
“what’s the matter?”
Illyana, who happened to be passing by, asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“You are the only one here with experience.”
Illyana had been taken to Halind’s professor’s office just once during her first year for violating school rules.
Although Carl also violated the school rules several times, he managed to stay within the line with his unique wit.
But not Illyana, she crossed the line only once.
“Hey, I heard that a first-year Seilun student was taken to Professor Harlind’s office?”
“ah.”
Illyana let out an exclamation.
Then he smiled and said.
“If it were me, I would rather die with my nose in a plate than be dragged into Professor Halind’s office.”
‘What on earth is happening to me?’
Runia made a serious expression.
“Uh, what should I do?”
Eiran spoke urgently.
“For now, all I can do is pray for a safe return.”
Runia sighed deeply as she looked at Karl with his arms crossed and speaking seriously.
“Can you guide me to him first?”
Carl and Illyana looked the other way at those words.
“Are you scared to go? “Are you a hero candidate?”
“I’m not.”
“How do you do something scary?”

Looking at the proud Karl and Illyana, Runia grabbed Kal’s neck.
“Guide me.”
“Why me!”
Carl screamed in frustration, but Runia did not listen.

Summit hall.
A place called the Hall of Dusk, located in the upper level of the Rumeren Tower of Heroes.
For generations, summit meetings held in Lumern have been held here.
There were five portraits hanging on the wall in the middle of the conference room.
It was none other than a portrait of the heroes of the Gaebyeok era.
And underneath it, a statue was erected.
Aron with a sword.
Dweno with an axe.
Luna holding a cane.
Risinas holding a book.
Finally, to Kyle.
These were statues of the greatest heroes who ended the era of disaster and gave the world a future.
The kings and heroes who entered the Hall of Twilight bowed to the portraits of the heroes of the dawn of time and the statues of the great heroes, respectively, and took their seats.
Student council presidents from other schools were sitting next to Leo, who attended the summit as student council president.
While everyone was sitting in their seats.
The most honorable seat.
I looked at the vacant position of council president.
Tap-tap-tap-
After a while, Melina appeared in the Hall of Twilight.
Melina was still wearing a veil and looked like a little girl.
Although it gave off a gentle atmosphere on the outside, the audience was overwhelmed by Melina’s appearance alone.
Melina, standing in front of the portraits of heroes and statues of great heroes, put her hands together and bowed for a moment.
Then he sat down at the head table and looked around.
“I would like to express my gratitude to those who gathered here to serve the world despite being busy with official duties.”
Everyone paid attention to Melina.
“The reason we gathered here is simple. To talk about the recent unusual trends in Tartarus. “Is there anyone who would like to speak on this?”
As soon as Melina finished speaking, the dark-skinned dwarf raised his hand.
“King of Neverum. Please speak up.”
“First of all, infinite blessings to the great Dragon Lord.”
King Neverum, who had the right to speak, bowed to Melina and then opened his mouth.
“I have something I would like to ask Azonia’s principal, Zephia.”
“What is it?”
“Recently, many hero hunters from the beast people have begun to appear in my kingdom. “We, the Kingdom of Neverum, tried to punish those vicious traitors.”
King Neverum’s face turned fierce.
“But the abominable traitors were strong and showed no signs of being subdued. So I am the proud warriors of our kingdom. “I sent the 4th Iron Fists to participate.”
The conference hall began to buzz at King Neverum’s words.
Neverum is a country rich in mines as it is a country of dwarves.
As such, they were able to produce high-quality weapons, and based on this, they occupied one of the five kingdoms of the Dwarves representing their race.
The warrior group representing Neverum was the ‘Iron Fist’.
“The 4th corps has been annihilated.”
Shock erupted from everywhere.
King Nevereum’s eyes sparkled.
“And just before attending this meeting, there was testimony from a survivor who managed to regain consciousness. “There were beastmen using sign language even though it wasn’t a full moon night!”
I widened my eyes and glared at Zephia.
“Tell me, Zephia. I heard that Azonia knew about it long ago! But why! By failing to publicize that fact, you are dooming the young talents of our kingdom to death!”
Zephia closed her eyes and took a deep breath at King Nebereum’s shout.
“I apologize for not informing you of that fact. your majesty. But Azonia also needed to get the facts straight.”
“To get the facts right! It wasn’t covered up because of Azonia’s honor! Because what the beastmen couldn’t do for 5,000 years, traitors can do it! “It’s not that I’m ashamed of that fact!”
“Be careful what you say! King Nevereum!”
The king of another beastman kingdom raised his voice.
“King Nebereum is speaking the right thing! By what right does he have to refrain from speaking!”
“Right? Aren’t you being hunted because you are weak? How dare you try to tarnish the honor of us, the descendants of brave men, with that!”
“what!”
Shouts were exchanged between the excited beastman and the dwarf.
It was a sensitive issue.
For the beastman, the prestige and honor of the entire race were at stake.
On the contrary, many of the brightest talents of the dwarves were killed.
Once the fire started, it grew out of control.
“Shh-!”
Then I heard a small voice.
The voice was very small, but there was an undeniable majesty in that single word.
The beastmen and dwarves stopped arguing and looked at Melina.
“We are here to fight. “We are not gathered here to argue about right and wrong.”
Melina looked at the beastman.
“It is certainly unfortunate that Azonia Academy did not announce the matter despite being aware of it. But on the other hand, the entire prison population may be shaken by the resulting confusion… … . And since it was related to the prisoner’s honor… … . It’s not that I don’t understand.”
Next, I looked at the dwarves.
“The death of these promising Iron Fists is very heartbreaking. I would like to express my condolences. But there is also one unfortunate thing. Hero Hunters are beings who hunt heroes or their equivalents. “Countless powerful heroes have lost their lives in the cunning traps of those abominable traitors.”
There was sadness in Melina’s voice.
“But we have people who can hunt down those hero hunters.”
Melina looked towards one of the conference halls.
A unique being in this place.
The one who should exist the most, but is also the most heterogeneous.
It was Shau, the emperor of the Shan Empire, the land of shadows.
“The reason why the young Iron Fists lost their lives… … . I think it’s because of a lack of communication. “It’s something that can’t be helped.”
Melina looked around the audience.
“Because we are intertwined with interests, and the information we need may end up being ignored by each other.”
Some people cleared their throats and avoided Melina’s eyes.
“But I think now is the time to forget about that and start working together.”
Melina spoke powerfully.
“King Nebereum. Why didn’t you ask the Shan Empire for help?”
“… … . We solve our problems ourselves. That is our pride.”
“That pride… … . I think it’s great. But is that really all there is?”
King Nevereum bowed his head and remained silent at Melina’s words.
“I know that there are many people who are embarrassed to receive help from a shadow. That shouldn’t be the case. “A shadow is equal to a hero.”
At those words, one person from the human side raised his hand.
“King of Luckett. Please speak up.”
He, the king of Lucit, a human kingdom located in the northern part of the continent, spoke.
“I understand what you are saying, Rod. Shadows are definitely specialized in hunting hero hunters. However, they are the ones who work in the dark and commit many unspeakable and horrendous acts. “It’s like a necessary evil.”
“Shadows are not evil.”
“I made a mistake. But no matter what, it is shameful for a hero to receive help from a shadow.”
King Lucit narrowed his eyes.
“They are the ones who thoroughly assist the hero. You can never be equal to a hero.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because they never get their names on Hero Records. They are never acknowledged by the gods.”
Everyone held their breath and looked at Shau at King Lucit’s remarks.
Meanwhile, Shau stood up.
“It just worked out. “I have something to show you about Hero Records.”
“What is it?”
Shau looked at Melina.
When Melina nodded, Shau took out a small box from his arms and approached the center of the Twilight Hall.
Then, he placed the box on the display table made of oriharkun in the center and opened it.
Everyone’s eyes turned to that place.
That moment.
“Hero record?”
Someone muttered in an embarrassed voice.
“does not make sense! “The hero records kept by each hero academy are not in such perfect condition!”
“Is it fake?”
“But this power is definitely… … !”
While everyone was shocked, Melina opened her mouth.
“Emperor Shan, what about that?”
“Hero Record, Book of Shadows.”
