Chapter 35 – {Enemy of Arya Riverin} 3
{Enemy of Arya Riverin}
It was Ye Eun-chae who showed the most surprised reaction.
“What, what do you mean? Thousand! You almost died!”
Ye Eun-chae reacted with a startled face as if I was going to die at any moment.
“Calm down, Eunchae. It’s just that he’s been like that before.”
And, of course, Ye Eun-chae, Aria Riverin, and Yoo Hyeon-a were not the only ones who heard this.
Seo Mun-hyun, who was trying to pick out food with a plate in a distant place, and Isena, who was next to him, were also looking at me with surprised eyes.
From what she saw, I was the successor of the Yuchun Group and a person with outstanding abilities.
In addition, she was also impressed when she heard that I had made a lot of donations to the academy’s welfare facilities, including this restaurant, but was confused when she heard about my past.
‘In a situation where I doubt what I have to do with Seo Mun-hyeon, Seo Mun-hyeon denies that he doesn’t know about my existence. I heard that I almost starved to death in the past.’
Later, all of this would play a huge role in separating Seo Mun-hyeon and Isena, but at the same time, it would cause all current academy students to feel negative feelings towards Seo Mun-hyeon.
Everyone would remember this every time they ate in the dining room at the National Heroes Academy, so it would never be forgotten.
“Let’s start with a quick meal. Our meal time is limited.”
“Ah! I guess so.”
As there were as many as 1,000 new students alone, this restaurant was divided into two places.
The size of the cafeteria is unusually large as it was made by building a single building, but it was not possible to simply build a large and wide building as it had to accommodate 1,000 students in only one restaurant.
Therefore, by increasing the number of floors to the extent that tables and beverage corners were placed on the 2nd and 3rd floors, it was able to handle the meals of numerous students.
Even meal times were separated.
1st and 2nd graders had meal time from 12:00 to 1:00, and 3rd and 4th graders had meal time from 1:00 to 2:30.
3rd and 4th graders were given a 30-minute longer meal time and free time as their lunch break was late.
‘Thanks to this, there are only freshmen here, and there are no more than 2nd year students.’
And me, Aria Riverin, Ye Eun-chae, and Yoo Hyeon-ah each ordered their own menus.
I just ordered the galbitang set meal, and unlike Yoo Hyeon-ah’s rib eye steak set menu, Ye Eun-chae ordered a variety of menu items.
“I ordered a lot of grilled pork ribs, pork ribs, roast chicken, and stuffed pork chops as side dishes for the grilled bulgogi set meal.”
“I guess I eat a little too much for lunch.”
Among Ye Eun-chae’s original settings, there was also a setting that she was a glutton.
Among the Awakened, she is an ability that can be classified as a body enhancement system, and she used to eat a lot of food every time the eating scene came out.
There was even a scene where she went to a buffet and ate 20 servings by herself.
“Aria… Is it really okay with that?”
“Yes, I like this.”
When Yoo Hyun-ah asked while looking at the menu Aria ordered, Aria replied with a smile.
What made her react like this was unexpectedly what Aria ordered was a hamburger set, and even though it was a homemade burger, many looked at her as if it was surprising that she, a princess, ordered a hamburger.
“When training, it’s good to eat simply.”
In her original work, Arya also likes the cuisines of the Riverin Kingdom, but also likes the cuisines of other countries.
However, she also liked fast food that was easy to eat, and among them, her favorite was the hamburger.
‘Hamburgers are delicious.’
I admit that too.
I ordered Galbitang today, and I’ll have dinner with Minhye Seo, but maybe I’ll order a hamburger for lunch tomorrow?
I sat down and enjoyed my meal slowly while thinking about the mundane things of everyday life.
‘I feel it slowly.’
In the original story, the main story came out first, not by childhood friend Isena, but surprisingly by Aria Riverin.
The National Hero Academy had been peaceful for a long time, but now a threat was coming to the world itself.
And here, the National Hero Academy was especially located at the beginning of the danger.
‘This time, the enemy is a group of villains from the Riverin Kingdom.’
Villains existed all over the world.
However, among them, those with the names of ‘Aethernum Somnium’, ‘Reverse Heaven’ and ‘The End’ had a particularly huge power.
Among them, the enemy this time was clearly Aethernum Somnium.
‘The identity is the dragon of eternity, those who follow Terenity.’
Terenity’s influence, which is the final boss of this novel and wants to invade this place from the other world, has already spread to this world from before.
It would only be possible in the final chapter to make a direct appearance, but even now, Terenity’s influence was spreading throughout the world.
There were also those who gained power through Terenity.
And the Aethernum Somniums were those who considered themselves chosen by Terenity.
‘In the coming apocalypse, they would believe that they were chosen as an exception.’
Anyway, after Terenity descended directly to this world, she had no intention of leaving even her followers alive.
The large-scale creation of magic power on Earth and the emergence of numerous magic awakeners were also Terenity’s tricks to grow humans and use them as food for themselves.
That is, they were livestock.
It was like harvesting well-raised livestock.
‘But in the original work, I was rather beaten by the person who was raised that way.’
As long as I am now, this world will never be in danger.
Also, the enemy of Aria Riverin this time is still keeping an eye on this side, but it doesn’t seem to be taking full-scale action.
‘Lawton Bendision.’
The first villain of the academy hero biography, the vengeful spirit created by the accidental mistake of Princess Arya’s maternal grandmother, was already watching the academy.
Arya Riverin, who did not know the truth, was approaching an event that would give a great shock.
* * *
About an hour ago.
“Aria Riverin.”
There was one gaze looking at Arya Riverin.
The owner of the gaze was a middle-aged man with dull gray hair, who had once felt manly and handsome, but had a terrible burn mark on his left side of his face.
“Huh, you’ve grown up beautifully. Princess Aria.”
Because she was wearing shorts for practice training, she could see Aria Riverin showing off her skills in front of the instructor, wielding a sword even in a skirt.
She seemed genuinely happy to see her eagerly participating in class.
“I, Lawton Bendision, are finally fit for harvesting.”
Looking at Aria Riverin, he recalled her memories and painful memories.
Her mother, Queen Laura, was a very nice person.
However, her maternal grandmother, Aijina, had given him an indelible wound.
Awesome!
When he thought of Aegina, he could not contain her anger.
Unlike his middle-aged appearance, he was actually quite old.
And at that time, he was a passionate knight loyal to the kingdom of Riverin, who could not even imagine belonging to the villain group Aethernum Somnium.
‘You betrayed me twice.’
Ai Gina was once in love with him.
However, she had been a childhood friend for a long time, and she abandoned herself as her lover and married into the Duke of Lestan.
When a large monster appeared, she fell in love with the heir to the Duke of Lestin who had saved her.
At that time, even though he felt her heart breaking, he did not resent her and blamed her for her own shortcomings.
Afterwards, while trying to forget the pain of her first love while meeting a good woman and giving birth to her child, he realized another betrayal.
[Sorry… I’m so sorry.]
Queen Laura, who had just become her new queen at the time, cried and apologized to him.
Her mother, Aijina, was an outstanding magic awakener, and upon learning that terrorists were plotting a large-scale explosion, she hurriedly drove the scattered magic bombs to the center and stopped them with minimal sacrifice.
And it was Lawton Bendision’s house, of course.
It was just unlucky to be in a position where the magic bombs were in a hurry to gather in the center.
And Lawton, who was outside, couldn’t stop it.
It was home to his beloved wife and just-adult son, as well as his aged father and mother.
The place disappeared without a trace due to a large-scale magic explosion, and he lost all his family.
Queen Laura’s tearful apologies did not calm his anger.
‘Ijina.’
In order to avenge the hated woman who betrayed him twice and destroyed him completely, he went to the Aethernum Somnium after searching for it and was able to become a member of it.
There, he was empowered with the honor of receiving Terenity, a great being who gave him the power to seek vengeance.
He gained so much strength and was blinded by his vengeful spirit that he could not be relieved just by killing Aegina.
He himself had lost everything about her, and it was too merciful to kill only her, having already seen her only granddaughter.
Before her eyes, her daughter, Queen Laura, was brutally slaughtered.
After that, he killed all the members of the Duke of Lestan, and failed to kill only Arya Riverin, who was a baby at the time and was the princess of the Kingdom of Riverin.
It was Aegina who killed all the members of the Restan duchy to show her the pain of losing her family.
“Princess Arya, your body and soul will be a sacrifice to Terenity.”
* * *
“…Haam.”
The grey-black-haired young boy yawned lightly as he watched Lawton Bendision aiming at Arya Riverin with vengeful eyes.
“It is as the lord said.”
The demon of indolence, Belphegor, was secretly watching Lawton with sleepy eyes.
