658.
“what? “So you guys are going to Damian tomorrow too?”
Early moning.
Carl, who was eating breakfast with glazed eyes, opened his eyes and asked.
“You too? Are you going to Damien too?”
Chelsea, who was eating bread with soup, asked with a puzzled look.
Carl said, scratching his head.
“huh. “I leave tomorrow too.”
“What are you going to Damien for?”
“Guiding second graders.”
“huh? Leading second graders? What guide?”
Illyana, who was eating next to Chelsea, looked puzzled.
“Tomorrow, all second graders go to Damien.”
“suddenly? “I thought the second graders had no idea?”
“Of course I don’t know. “Because it was decided yesterday.”
“Ah, somehow I thought you came late from the student council room yesterday.”
Chelsea nodded.
“Anyway, why are the second graders going to Damien? Class president, do you know anything?”
“I’m going because of Smith’s exclusive contract.”
“iced coffee!”
Illyana nodded at Leo’s answer.
“It was very large-scale in our time, right? The principal also went. But is Karl leading it alone?”
“Are you really going to lead me alone? “Professor Artian will be the lead teacher.”
“It’s still small?”
“Because it was our time when all the second year students from the hero academy gathered together. “That’s not usually the case.”
“Ohh. “So are we the only ones going to school this time?”
“okay. Seirun and Azonia will come after scheduling.”
In that case, it is understandable if there is one teacher leading and one student helping the teacher.
“But it’s still a place where you go for a face-to-face meeting, right? A knife goes in that place. “I succeeded.”
“Originally, Elena-senpai was supposed to go!”
“You really are a slave.”
Illyana made a pitiful expression.
***
next day.
In front of the warp gate leading to Damian, second graders were gathered and talking.
The second graders were confused yesterday by the sudden news that Damian would be leaving today for the exclusive Smith contract schedule, but the confusion did not last long.
Rather, it was the first-year students who were embarrassed.
“yes? “The whole grade is Damian?”
“Isn’t it too sudden?”
Originally, Lumern had a very strict hierarchy between grades.
Especially when I was in first grade, I couldn’t even dare to look at my classmates even though they were only one grade apart.
However, starting with last year’s mentor system, this year the entire grade started living together in the same space, so first and second graders became familiar with each other within a few days.
Since it was difficult for first-year students to talk to students who were 3rd-year or higher, they naturally asked many questions to second-year students, and second-year students who had experience as mentees called them seniors and treated the upcoming first-year students with a sense of responsibility.
The second graders laughed at the first graders’ reaction.
“Lumern is always like this.”
So, the second graders talked to Damian students here and there.
“Juen. “Who do you want to sign a contract with?”
“Heh. secret.”
Juen made a meaningful expression in response to a question from a magic student in the same year.
‘I received a list of second-year students who specialize in making magic wands from senior Carl.’
Juen, who was Carl’s mentee, was always ahead of other grades when it came to important information.
“Luke. “Who would you like to sign with?”
Aina asked with a puzzled look at the place where the knight students were gathered.
“well. “I think any dwarven weapon would be fine, right?”
Luke said, scratching his cheek.
As Luke, who was from a rural village, his hands could not help but tremble just because he was wearing dwarven weapons.
The second year students were busy talking about the Damien students who were about to sign an exclusive contract.
Since the exclusive Smith contract was the most important schedule in the second year’s academic schedule, everyone had conducted a thorough investigation on Damien students during winter break.
“iced coffee. “Everyone gathered together, right?”
At that time, Carl, who had entered the warp gate, spoke through a loudspeaker.
“We have to leave in a little while, so can everyone stop talking and line up for each department?”
“yes~”
The second graders answered in light voices and then began to line up.
“really?”
“oh my god!”
“Ahahaha!”
However, the atmosphere was so excited that the sounds of laughing and talking continued to be heard.
And the speed of lining up was a bit slow.

Even the second graders knew that Carl had achieved hero status and was a great person.
However, since Karl approached the second-year students warmly from the time they entered school, he was also a very friendly senior.
‘Well, I’m not the type to attract kids with charisma.’
To put it simply, he wasn’t a scary senior.
Because of that, the distracting atmosphere did not disappear.
I didn’t care because Carl had no intention of changing his style again.
‘Because there’s someone else to catch anyway.’
“Professor Artian. “The kids keep talking.”
“Aang?!”
Artian’s eyes, who were behind the sword, opened brightly and he made a bloody expression.
Artian, possessed by the heroic spirit of the knight hero, snatched the loudspeaker from Karl’s hand and shouted into his mouth.
“What you’re saying right now doesn’t sound like what you said! what!?”
The second graders were startled by Artian’s appearance and quickly lined up.
As the second graders lined up in an instant, Karl and Artian took the lead.
“everyone. As everyone knows, today is the day to sign an exclusive contract with the Smiths who will be in charge of your weapons from now on!”
Artian said with a smile as bright as the spring breeze.
“It may be a lifelong relationship, so I hope everyone carefully signs a contract with the Smith who suits them best!”
“yes! All right!”
The second graders answered with moderation.
“professor. “So are we leaving now?”
“no. There are third grade students who have some business to do with Damien, so we go together. Ah, you’re here just in time.”
At Artian’s words, the second graders’ eyes turned to the entrance of the warp gate building.
The appearance of the five people elicited gasps from the second graders.
Based on school uniforms, each person was wearing equipment necessary for combat.
“Wow, look at the amulet that Elena-senior is wearing around her neck.”
“I feel like I’ve been somewhere before?”
“ah! “I saw it in a book!”
“that’s right! A sign of lightning! It’s an artifact passed down from the Hergin family. “It’s an artifact exclusive to phantom beast summoners that only qualified people can use!”
What Eliza was doing was the Hergin family’s treasure, which could only be used with the permission of the head of the family.
An amulet imbued with the power of Pegasus, an item containing the essence of spiritual power of the Hergin family summoners who have made a contract with Pegasus for generations.
Only those who have inherited the blood of the Hergin family can use it, and its effect is to amplify the power of the phantom beast that deals with the power of lightning.
Similar reactions were also pouring in from engineering students.
“Isn’t the great sword that Duran senior is wearing also unusual to look at?”
“Isn’t that the sword that the founding king of Moira used?”
“ah! Lightning storm?”
“that’s right!”
Unlike usual, Duran’s appearance, armed with a long sword and a great sword, was clearly visible.
Duran wasn’t the only one.
Illyana also had her main weapon, a longsword, hanging on her waist and was holding a spear in her hand.
“Senior Illyana, is that long sword different from the one you usually carry? “It looks like an unusual item.”
“The Raden family is also a family with a high reputation, right? “Maybe it’s an heirloom?”
“Chelsea senior has a long staff?”
“for a moment. That staff. “Isn’t it Wind Memory?!”
“and!”
Chelsea also attracted attention by appearing with the Lwalin family heirloom given to her.
Lastly, Leo was wearing a black cloak.
Although he looked simple compared to the other party members, Leo’s presence wearing a cape was overwhelming for some reason.
Unlike usual, the sight of the third graders fully armed was enough to make the second graders think of one thing.
‘You look strong.’
I knew that my seniors were strong.
But seeing him fully armed like that gave me a completely different feeling than before.
“Professor, I’m sorry I’m late.”
“no. It came just in time. By the way, everyone. “It’s really cool!”
Artian clapped his hands in admiration.
Carl also looked surprised.
“Hey. You did it really fancy. Who was thinking? “What do you think about Illyana?”
“What am I!”
“Is there anyone else here who would like to make such a fuss like this?”
“no it’s not! “It’s the class president’s idea!”
Carl looked at Leo with a little surprise at Illyana’s words.
Eliza opened her mouth as her juniors looked at her with brighter eyes than usual.
“You asked me to come fully armed, so I did, but what’s the point?”
“Yes.”
“What does it mean?”
When Duran asked with his arms crossed, Leo shrugged his shoulders.
“It looks different to others.”
“what?”
Duran looked dumbfounded at the completely unexpected answer.
Chelsea also looked slightly embarrassed.
“Is that really the reason? “Isn’t that like Leo?”
“why! “It’s a good reason, right?”
Illyana’s eyes sparkle and she gives a thumbs up! I raised it.
Carl, who thought for a moment after hearing Leo’s words, tilted his head.
“Is it perhaps a symbol or something?”
“huh? symbol?”
Chelsea gave a puzzled look.
“Of course Leo wouldn’t do this just to look cool.”
“Yep. yes.”
Chelsea nodded and agreed with Carl.
“Then aren’t you trying to become a symbol of something?”
“that’s right.”
Leo nodded.
“The world is in chaos right now. This peaceful era may soon end. “Then people will be anxious.”
Leo looked down at his hands.
“Anxiety is highly contagious. When people are anxious, they are easily swayed. “People who are shaken easily start to doubt others.”
Distrust destroys unity from within.
“So there’s something I want to let people know.”
“What is that?”
“The fact that if the party I lead fights with determination, it will definitely win.”
Duran’s eyes twitched at Leo’s words.
“Win unconditionally?”
“okay.”
Leo grinned.
“The battlefield where I appear will never be defeated. “It will give you that kind of trust.”
“You’re arrogant. Do you think it is possible to win every fight?”
“It’s impossible. Because that’s a lie. but.”
Leo looked at Duran and grinned.
“But the moment you accomplish an impossible feat, the lie will become the truth.”
At the moment of miraculous victory, previous despairing memories are forgotten.
“In order to leave a strong impression in people’s minds, it is better to advertise that you are someone who goes out to fight no matter what they see, unlike usual.”
“Is this your idea?”
“No, some pervert told me a long time ago.”
Leo shrugged his shoulders.
‘Lisinas. Isn’t everything you say a lie anyway? Everyone here knows. ‘You’re scamming people!’
If we fight hard, the world can be saved.
At the time when Arhi was formed, that statement was an obvious lie.
‘So, if you’re going to act like a fraud, you have to look good from the outside! Isn’t that the basis of fraud? basic!’
After listening to Dweno’s advice, Lisinas went out armed with flashy weapons to show off to people whenever he competed.
“It is a symbol of absolute victory.”
Duran muttered softly.
“I like it.”
Eliza curled the corners of her mouth.
“There was a reason for that. “After all, it’s Leo oppa.”
Chelsea also nodded in admiration.
“Hehehe.”
“Why are you smiling so unluckily?”
“I knew the class president’s great intentions. It’s too late to realize that. “I’m a little disappointed in you guys?”
“You just like flashy things. fool.”
“Stop talking nonsense, Illyana Raden.”
“Banjaang! They ignore me! “I really thought the class leader dressed like this with that intention!”
Chelsea and Duran’s harsh words made Illyana cry and complain to Leo.
“Yes, yes.”
Leo sighed and patted Illyana’s head.
“Come on, everyone. “Enough chit-chat, it’s time to go.”
At Artian’s words, Leo and the others lined up in front of the warp gate.
When the warp gate opened, Leo and his group crossed the gate first.
Leo glanced back at his friends following him and smiled.
‘Not everyone knows.’
This first step is the beginning of a legend that will later become a page of history.
Of course, the future cannot be certain.
but.
‘Because I will make it that way.’
Like Lisinas, who will make the lie that the world can be saved true.
He will tell the same lies to his new colleagues who will follow him.
‘You will become a new legend.’
