The Legendary Hero is an Academy Honor Student

Everything was settled after Leo defeated Tamuss.

The army Tamuss had resurrected through [Spirit Magic] vanished the moment he fell.

The Kingdom of Carnel also regained its stability.

Once the matter was wrapped up, Lumene dispatched someone to organize the situation.

It was none other than the Vice President of the Lumene Student Council, Hark.

Hark’s expression turned grim when he heard how the dead heroes had been resurrected as Corpses by the Death King.

He clicked his tongue when he heard about the true nature of Justice Guild.

And when Hark heard that most of the executives, including Guild Master Jerome, were dead...

“Hey! Hark!”

“Get a hold of yourself!”

He grabbed the back of his neck and collapsed.

As Vice President, Hark was handling all the practical administrative duties of the Student Council President.

The problem was that ever since Leo became President, massive incidents had been occurring without end.

The rapidly changing state of the world.

The corresponding roles of Hero Candidates.

The unseen war against paperwork plagued Hark.

It was to the point where people said the current Student Council was the most overworked in Lumene’s 3,000-year history.

Leo was dumping an immense workload on him.

Furthermore, ever since Hark first enrolled, he had been the very picture of a lazy student.

It couldn’t be helped, since his Mana Trait was [Accumulation] through sleep.

Yet even so, Hark remained the top student of his grade.

Because of that, he showed an incredibly capable side as the acting Student Council President.

After handing over the situation and returning to his room, Leo told the story to Lily, who responded excitedly.

“So that’s why Hark Sunbae is amazing.”

Lily’s eyes sparkled.

“He’s incredibly capable and has such a distinct character! Ah! I’m so jealous of that uniqueness.”

“Character?”

“Yes. He’s famous even in other schools as Lumene’s ‘Sleeping Vice President.’”

“What a bizarre nickname.”

Just as Leo muttered in fascination, the door opened and Hark walked in.

“Hello, Hark Sunbae!”

Lily greeted him energetically.

“Yeah...”

Hark greeted Lily with hollow eyes and sat down in front of Leo.

“The entire Student Council is in an uproar, yet you’re so relaxed.”

“Ah. That’s because the Lumene Student Council is full of talented people.”

“Right. Well said, President.”

Hark spoke with a serious expression.

“I’m entering the second semester of my 5th year now. I’m busy, and since I’ll be leaving soon, I don’t think it’s good for the hubaes if I keep running the school on behalf of the President. So I think it’s time for me to step down from the Vice President position. Like you said, our school has plenty of capable students.”

“Retirement? That’s a problem. You can still work more, Sunbae. Everyone thinks very highly of how you run the Student Council.”

“Please, just let me retire.”

“Don’t say such ridiculous things. Ah, in that case, I’ll install a bed in the Vice President’s office. If you don’t like that, I’ll make it convenient for you to work from your own room without even coming to the Student Council.”

“Graaaaaagh!”

“Hark Sunbae! Please calm down!”

As a delirious Hark lunged at Leo, a horrified Lily tried to stop him.

When the commotion broke out, the Student Council students waiting outside rushed into the room.

They then dragged Hark away.

“Appoint Elena as Vice President! Let me retire! Retire... mmmph!”

Hark struggled and flailed as he was dragged out with his mouth covered.

“Leo. Just how long do you plan on working Hark to the bone?”

When one of the 5th years asked cautiously, Leo smiled brightly.

“Until the very moment he graduates.”

At those words, Niel Roda, a 4th year serving as the Student Council Secretary, nodded and scribbled something on his record sheet.

[Vice President Hark Sunbae requested retirement, but the President, Young Master Leo, did not grant permission. He plans to make him work until the day he graduates.]

Mhm, mhm! Niel nodded and muttered to himself.

‘I need to find a way to leave the Student Council no matter what before I become a 5th year.’

“Niel Sunbae, do you want to leave the Student Council?”

“Hieek? Y-Young Master?”

Niel was terrified by the voice behind him, which sounded like the grim reaper’s.

‘H-How? Has Young Master Leo mastered mind reading?!’

“N-No. How could that be? I must assist the Young Master. Ahahaha.”

Niel shook his head with an awkward laugh.

Looking at Niel, Leo smiled and said,

“You’re free to enter, but you’re not free to leave.”

Hearing that, the faces of the other 4th years, including Niel, turned pale.

The 5th years burst into mournful laughter.

‘It’s not just Hark. All of us will be working until the day we graduate.’

===

After entrusting all the important tasks to his Student Council sunbaes, Leo spent some leisurely time.

In the shade of the training ground, Leo relaxed while reading a book.

Taking the initiative, Lily gathered the Orphan Soldiers at the training ground and told them stories about heroes.

As expected of a grade representative, Lily also had the best grades in her year in Hero Studies.

Because she had so many interesting stories to tell, the Orphan Soldiers listened intently.

“The people of the Kingdom of Carnel don’t have a very good image of heroes.”

Anias said this as she approached Leo.

“It’s only natural since Justice Guild abandoned them. But still, thanks to your efforts, not everyone feels that way, right?”

“Even though we are Shadows.”

“I’ve told you before, what does that matter? You just have to do your best in your respective positions,” Leo said without taking his eyes off his book.

“How are the follow-up measures going?”

“For now, we are moving toward stopping the war. In the case of the Kingdom of Carnel, the King and the ministers will be deposed, and Crown Prince Jeremin will inherit the throne.”

During the crisis, Jeremin had shown sufficient qualities as a Crown Prince.

Since the people’s hearts had already turned away from the current King, making Jeremin King was very simple.

Although he was an ordinary person who couldn’t use Supernatural Powers, his devotion to the people of the capital, even at the risk of his own life, had left a deep impression on the people of this country, as well as the Shadows.

“As Shadows, we shouldn’t get involved in world affairs, but... since we’re already being called heroes, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Anias smiled brightly.

While Leo chuckled at Anias...

“I keep telling you, I am not a great person. Hyung-nim is the truly great one!”

Lily was excitedly giving a speech to the Orphan Soldiers.

“But the knights said you looked like a goddess, Captain!”

When one of the Orphan Soldiers raised a hand and spoke, Lily shook her head.

“I told you back then too. I am not a god. If there is someone who is truly like a god, it’s Hyung-nim right over there!”

The gazes of the Orphan Soldiers turned toward Leo.

Hearing that, Anias clapped her hands.

“As expected of Lily-nim. To call Leo-nim a god. You have an extraordinary eye!”

Just as Leo clicked his tongue at Anias, who was clapping enthusiastically...

“So all three of you were here.”

Jeremin approached the palace training ground.

“I heard you’re leaving tomorrow. Is that true?”

At Jeremin’s question, Lily nodded.

“Yes. Our capable sunbaes are handling the aftermath. We must return to school and focus on our studies again.”

“Ah, I haven’t even been able to properly express my gratitude to you all. Then I shall hold a party tonight. As grandly as possible...”

Lily smiled brightly and placed her index finger over Jeremin’s mouth as he spoke frantically.

“Don’t you know, Jeremin-nim, that taking care of the people devastated by the war comes first?”

“L-Lily-nim.”

“I’ll be waiting for news that you’ve become a wonderful King, Jeremin-nim.”

Jeremin stared blankly as Lily winked, then spoke.

“Lily-nim, I will definitely invite you to my coronation.”

“Then it would be an honor!”

“C-Can I write to you? I mean... I want to keep you updated on how these children are doing.”

“Yes! That would make me really happy. I’ll reply right away too.”

Jeremin’s face brightened.

“I’m so glad I’ve made a new friend! I’m sure we can be great friends, Jeremin-nim!”

But as soon as he heard Lily’s words, his shoulders slumped.

Looking at Lily, Leo clicked his tongue.

“Wicked.”

“Lily-nim is famous. She’s pretty, has a very upright personality, and is easygoing, so she’s popular enough to be talked about among students at other schools, not just Lumene. She’s actually received a lot of confessions.”

“Really? I haven’t heard any rumors like that.”

“Because she rejects them unconsciously like that.”

“I see. But how do you know all that so well?”

“As a Shadow, keeping track of the personal information of Hero Candidates is basic.”

Leo clicked his tongue at Anias’s words.

And so, their schedule in the Kingdom of Carnel came to an end.

===

After returning to school, Leo and Lily submitted their mission reports and went back to their respective dormitories.

Early morning.

When Leo returned to the dormitory, it was empty.

Even though many things had happened, the time Leo spent on the mission practice was quite short.

As a result, Leo became the student who completed his mission assignment and returned the fastest out of all the 2nd years.

Entering the dormitory lounge, Leo spread out a newspaper.

In the Lumene dormitories, newspapers containing various world news were delivered every morning.

‘There’s no mention of this incident yet.’

The fall of Justice Guild.

Dead heroes being turned into Undead.

And the erasure of their names from the [Hero Record].

The fall of Justice Guild alone was bound to cause a massive stir.

‘But compared to the two incidents that will follow, that’s nothing.’

It would likely become a monumental event that would overturn a world that normally wouldn’t be surprised by anything after the resurrection of the Fragment of Erebos.

‘I should tell Melina to respond properly.’

Leo was sighing while reading through the newspaper.

“Huh?”

He paused after seeing an article that took up an entire page with a massive headline.

Then he soon chuckled.

“You finally did it.”

The article was about Lunia of Seiren.

It was a major feature reporting that Lunia had formed a contract with the Phoenix.

In addition, it shared the news that she had become the next Student Council President of Seiren.

“Everyone is growing steadily.”

Just as Leo smiled...

Flutter!

The window opened, and a Lesser Wind Elemental Spiritin the form of a bird flew in.

Beep, beep, beep!

After delivering a letter to Leo, the spirit flew away again.

Seeing that, Leo checked the contents of the letter with a puzzled expression.

‘A summons from the Principal?’

===

Whoooosh!

Deep in a forest in the eastern part of the continent.

It was a forest untouched by human footsteps.

A gentle autumn breeze blew.

Rustle— rustle—

The sound of feet stepping on fallen maple leaves echoed.

The sound of crumbling leaves rang out quietly.

The sounds of an autumn forest.

Rustle— crunch— swish— swish— swish— swish—

The sound of the woman’s footsteps changed.

Soft, vibrant blades of grass.

A spring scene unfolded before her eyes.

Finally, the woman carefully sat down in front of one of the two tombstones.

“I’m... here. Master.”
