494.
Chen Sia took a deep breath.
Surrounding her were countless piles of demon corpses.
The endless appearances of the demons had finally ceased at some point.
Realizing that the signs of demons had vanished, Chen Sia opened her mouth.
“Aidi Yang, are you unharmed?”
“Yes. I’m fine! How about you, Chen Sia Yang?”
Seeing Eiran responding with vigor, Chen Sia smiled faintly.
“I’m fine too.”
Having answered, Chen Sia glanced down at her palm.
‘Indeed, the training from Lady Aron seems to be having an effect.’
Her movements had grown much sharper.
Additionally, she could now respond more quickly to enemy movements.
Admiring the results of her training, Chen Sia said,
“Alright, let’s quickly follow Lord Leo.”
“Yes!”
Eiran followed behind Chen Sia.
As Chen Sia chased after the traces left by Leo, she asked,
“By the way, Eiran Yang. Earlier, you mentioned that Lady Luna slept in this land, right?”
“Huh?”
Eiran was startled.
Chen Sia smiled faintly at the surprised Eiran.
“The resting places of the Great Heroes have never been known. Yet Lord Leo and Eiran Yang were speaking as if they knew that Lady Luna rested here. How do you know that Lady Luna rested here?”
“Uh, well… that is…”
“Are you sharing another secret with Lord Leo?”
Smiling, Chen Sia asked another sharp question.
At a loss, Eiran looked at Chen Sia as she was about to answer.
“Safe and sound, I see.”
From the opposite side, Leo’s voice was heard.
“Oh! Lord Leo! You’re safe too…?”
Eiran’s bright expression turned rigid as she looked toward Leo.
Chen Sia’s face also hardened when she saw the woman standing next to Leo.
There was a very familiar person standing there.
Eiran and Chen Sia’s mouths gaped open slightly.
“Luna… Lady?”
“Huh? Is that me?”
Chen Sia cautiously asked, and Luna tilted her head.
Thud.
Eiran was so shocked that she ended up sitting on the ground.
Looking at such Eiran, Luna widened her eyes.
“Hey, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
Luna squatted next to Eiran, tilted her head, and asked.
Looking at such Luna, Chen Sia asked Leo in haste,
“Le, Lord Leo! Why is Lady Luna here in this world?”
“Well, it’s a similar situation to Aron from earlier.”
As Leo calmly spoke, Chen Sia’s mouth gaped open.
“Lun, Lady Luna.”
Looking at the moved Eiran, Luna said toward Leo,
“Kyle, why’s this kid acting weird?”
Not understanding the current situation, Luna asked innocently.
“Kyle?”
Chen Sia’s face again painted confusion.
Sighing while looking at such sight, Leo said,
“Anyway, let’s return to the village. It’d be best to sort out the situation.”
“Why did Lady Luna call Lord Leo Kyle? Isn’t it clear she’s referring to the Hero of Beginning, Kyle?”
Chen Sia seriously asked.
Looking directly at such Chen Sia, Leo sighed lightly.
“It seems like we’ve reached a point where there’s no need to hide anymore.”
At Leo’s words, Chen Sia slightly tensed.
“I am the Hero of Beginning, Kyle.”
“Eh?”
“Reborn.”
Chen Sia showed a dazed expression.
After a while of looking confused as if she didn’t understand, Chen Sia gasped and stood up.
“Are you saying that Lord Leo is the Hero of Beginning, Kyle?”
Nodding his head, Leo confirmed. Chen Sia slumped down in her seat again.
Thinking back on Leo’s acts, Chen Sia burst into hollow laughter.
“Come to think of it, I felt this was quite unusual since the entrance examination.”
Continuing to recall the connections to the Great Heroes, and the unimaginable growth rate.
Though the story seemed unbelievable, everything made sense as ‘the Hero of Beginning’ Kyle.
‘That overly mature attitude too.’
Shaking her head, Chen Sia’s face soon turned to one of slight resentment.
“Who other than me knows about Lord Leo’s identity?”
“Dragon Lord Melina, Chelsea, Eiran, to name a few.”
‘The Emperor of Shan might have a vague suspicion about it.’
Recalling the emperor Shau, Leo narrowed his eyes.
“As for Melina, that’s all well and good, but not informing me after letting Chelsea Yang and Eiran Yang know is a bit disappointing.”
“Originally, I had no intention of telling anyone besides Melina.”
Leo sighed.
“The brat Aron ended up telling Chelsea. And Eiran overheard a conversation between me and Chelsea.”
“Hmm. I see.”
Chen Sia, who had opened her eyes sleepily, sat down again.
At such sight, Luna clapped her hands.
“Let’s proceed with introductions since the situation has been clarified. My name is Luna Rubiness.”
Smiling and introducing herself, Luna prompted,
“My name is Chen Sia.”
“Yes, nice to meet you. And you?”
“My name is Eiran Erlasar.”
“Erlasar?”
Hesitating for a moment, Luna asked.
Smiling shyly, Eiran replied,
“I am the descendant of Lady Berkiya.”
“Good grief!”
Luna happily smiled.
“Even Berkiya got married? I was a little worried about her reading preferences!”
Luna approached Eiran, grabbed her face, and inspected it from all angles.
“Come to think of it, you kind of resemble Berkiya!”
“Not at all. She’s arrogant and this one is cute.”
Leo said bluntly.
“And this one’s also the descendant of Biha.”
“Ah, really?”
Luna looked surprised.
“Is that so? Then those kids left descendants in this peaceful world. It’s fortunate.”
Looking at it with a smile and sighing with relief, Luna looked incredibly beautiful.
Eiran and Chen Sia somewhat lost their minds as they stared at her.
“Right. So, Eiran, right? Berkiya was a childlike figure to me. So don’t treat her formally and feel free to call her as one would a sister.”
“Niece more like. You should be Grandma.”
Leo’s sarcastic remark drew a raised eyebrow from Luna, who then kicked him.
Leo deftly dodged such Luna’s attack, looking familiar with it.
Seeing the easygoing nature of these two, Chen Sia burst into laughter.
“So, the Great Heroes were like this. It’s surprising how similar we are.”
The thought of seniors teasing each other came to mind.
‘Watching Lord Leo behave so freely is a first.’
Chen Sia rested her chin and looked at Leo and Luna.
‘Well, Lord Leo is the Hero of Beginning after all. 5000 years ago, he fought together with them in a battle for this world’s fate.’
In one sense, one of the four people on equal terms with Leo.
Watching the two tease each other, Chen Sia asked again,
“Anyway, what do we do from here?”
Chen Sia tilted her head.
“Lady Luna’s reincarnation into this world up to now is good…but what should we do from here?”
“I want to do something.”
“What is it?”
Luna raised her hand and said, causing Leo to show a look of curiousness.
“I want to visit a place called Lumeran Academy.”
The week-long mission practice period had concluded.
And on schedule, second-year students gradually returned to Lumeran Academy.
Of course, there were some who hadn’t finished their missions due to long-term assignments.
Additional classes were scheduled without any hitches.
“Back!”
Swoosh-!
Opening the dormitory door, Iliana darted straight into the lounge and plopped down onto the sofa.
Clunk-!
“Sofa is still the best! Hmm~ this comfort!”
Stretching fully while enjoying the comfort of the sofa, Iliana said.
“Hello, Iliana.”
“Hi! Sia!”
Seeing Chen Sia greeting her, Iliana greeted back brightly with a wave and suddenly widened her eyes upon noticing something.
“Eiran? That’s Eiran from Seirun!”
Iliana popped out of her seat in surprise.
“Why are you wearing our school uniform?”
“I’m here to study at Lumeran for a while as an exchange student.”
“Ah! I see!”
Iliana nodded and looked beside her.
“And what about you?”
There, an elf dressed in the Lumeran uniform was seen.
“I’m Lu. I’m also here as an exchange student. Nice to meet you.”
“Ah, Lu? But that’s the first time I’ve heard that name?”
Though their schools were different, she had exchanged a few times with the second-year students of Seirun, so she had a grasp of the prominent students of the same generation.
The name ‘Lu’ was entirely unfamiliar.
“Lu, Lu Yang is in the lower class, that’s why?”
“Ah, I see. Lower class.”
Hmm~ Folding her arms, Iliana nodded.
Then she smiled,
“My name is Iliana Laden. Nice to meet you, and I hope we have a great time!”
“Nice to meet you as well.”
“Slightly familiar face, though?”
Iliana scratched her chin and looked at Lu carefully.
“I get told that I look familiar often.”
“Oh, I see!”
Lu’s calm response was accepted by Iliana.
Lu, meaning Luna, smiled faintly at such Iliana.
The reason Iliana didn’t recognize Luna was simple.
She was using a perception-dampening magic.
Due to the magic’s effect, Luna wasn’t fully recognized, merely thought to be a familiar face.
‘Only possible because it’s Luna.’
A magician equal to or stronger than the caster would be able to see through this perception-dampening magic.
But in this world, no one surpassed Luna’s magical prowess.
‘Caused Melina a lot of effort for a few days.’
Upon hearing Luna’s plan, Melina spent days creating a false identity.
As a result, Lu, a second-year student of Seirun that even Seirun didn’t know about, was born.
There was no particular reason to verify Lu’s identification with Seirun from Lumeran.
Although both schools exchanged, they didn’t share such trivial information.
As Luna happily laughed and conversed with the Glore students, Leo chuckled in amusement.
“Leo.”
“Here. Chloe.”
“Hmm? I heard about exchange students.”
Tilting her head, Chloe looked at Leo, who pointed at Luna and Eiran with his finger.
“That’s Eiran. And the other one…”
Chloe marveled.
“Beautiful. Are there students like her at Seirun?”
“Apparently in the lower class.”
“Ah, I see.”
Satisfied, Chloe nodded.
Meanwhile, Luna continued chatting and laughing happily with the Glore students.
“She gets along well with people.”
As Chen Sia marveled, Leo chuckled.
“She’s always been good at befriending others.”
While looking at Luna, Leo murmured inside.
‘I hope you’ll have a pleasant time.’
*
That afternoon,
The second-year class resumed.
The very first class was none other than the Department of Magic class.
The second-year students of the Department of Magic entered the Lecture Hall.
Looking at the massive chalkboard filled with magical formulas, they lost their words.
“What’s all that?”
“Is it an alien language?”
“Moreover, is it even a magical formula?”
The students began murmuring among themselves.
Chloe, on the other hand, showed excitement as she looked at the bizarre magical formula.
Her blue eyes quickly scanned over the magical formulas.
“Ho ho ho, welcome, everyone.”
Professor Ren sat among the students, smiling smugly.
“While you were out on your mission practice, I came up with an interesting idea. So, I turned it into formulas. Is there anyone who can vaguely understand what kind of magic this formula is for upon looking at it?”
At that, everyone’s gaze turned toward Chloe.
Abad and Chelsea hadn’t returned from their mission practice yet.
Even if they were present, the students would have looked at Chloe.
In the second-year department of magic, if it was about magic theory, it was a common knowledge that it was Chloe and if it was Chloe, it was magic theory.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chloe said,
“I think it’s a magic formula related to time.”
“Splendid! Incredible! Truly, Chloe Student!”
Professor Ren laughed in satisfaction and clapped his hands.
“Alright! Now, let me explain further about this magic…”
“The formula’s calculation seems off, Professor.”
Suddenly interrupting Professor Ren, someone raised their hand and spoke.
Ren’s eyes darted around while looking toward the direction the voice came from.
There, with sparkling eyes, was Luna with her hand raised.
