After Aena returned to the dormitory, I was in my room thinking. I was thinking about ......, the Sword Saint.
　The enemy that Aena encountered did not call himself the Swordsman, but more accurately, it seems that Lusa Plominate called him the Swordsman.
　The witch - that's our enemy in the Kingdom, and Aena's enemy in the Empire.
　In other words, they're shared enemies, but I haven't heard any details about them yet.
　At the very least, the Lutha I fought was far more powerful than any other mage out there.
　The battle was won, but in the big picture, one of the knights was dealt a major blow, and now, with the appearance of demons in the town, the people are voicing their concerns.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　What is the identity of the man called the Sword Saint?
　At least I know he's not real. Because the Sword Saint is here.
　But Aena said he was a swordsman of my level.
　She would never misjudge the strength of someone she fought.
　This opponent is undoubtedly my equal. I've fought many enemies, but I've never met an opponent who was as strong as me, to say the least.

No. ......

　But then I think about it.
　I do have a memory of a man named Raoul Isaruf. His skills as a swordsman, his past battles--all of these are things I remember.
　However, I myself have never really thought about the phenomenon of reincarnation.
　It's just a memory that came back to me when I was a child.
　That is how I came to be what I am today, Alta Schweiz .......
　The only thing that can prove that I am the reincarnation of Raoul Isaruf is my skills and the sword I carry, the Silver Spirit Sword.
　That sword is the only one that no one has ever recovered.
　I don't think there are many people who would like to use a sword that absorbs the most of its owner's magic power.
　But that's the only way I can prove that I'm Raoul's reincarnation.
　The memory of Raoul will not be understood when I tell people about it. ...... Well, in that sense, Aria is the only one who knows my secret.
　It's only my strength that proves it.
　Am I really the reincarnation of Raoul Isaruf?
　I had never thought of such a question before.
There were two people in the Shadow Apostle who shared the same memory.
　At that time, I clearly denied that they were not the same. .......

I've never thought about it, and I don't plan to ever think about it.

　I just thought that if I could live my life as a person again, I would live it differently this time.
　I don't regret my life of fighting, killing, ...... and gaining nothing but strength.
　But I've learned that there is nothing to be gained from strength.
　I'm not going to say that I don't regret my life, but I do know that there is nothing to be gained by being strong. ...... I also understand that I was only seeking strength.
　I learned it from a girl named Iris, who taught me to use a sword. She wants to be stronger than anyone else.
　She wants to be stronger than anyone else, not just for herself, but to protect someone she doesn't know.
　There is a way to be strong that Raul Isaruf never thought possible.
　Now I can understand Iris's thoughts in no small part.
　I thought I was just protecting her for my job, but then I realized that I was fighting ...... to watch her grow.
　--Aena also told me that she would fully accept any collaborator I chose.
　Perhaps Aria would naturally suspect and notice if Aena and I were to act together.
　And in the end, it will be passed on to Iris. If it's ......, should I call out to her this time?

It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web and also the web site.

　You can see the determined look on Iris' face, and you can't help but smile.
　And then I realized a fact.

"Oh, I see...

　Although I told Iris that she could rely on me, I may not have tried to rely on her yet.
　I guess it's because I don't have the sense of relying on anyone.
　Considering my position as a knight and as a lecturer, relying on her is not an option for me.

In the first place, there is no need to think of relying on her. Whoever it is, I'll fight to end it.

　That's how I came to my conclusion.
　And so I came to the conclusion that if the enemy was that powerful, I would have to defeat him myself.
　I, the real Kensei, will surely defeat the fake Kensei. That's what I've decided.
