'It was Kurt Leprechaun. It was a good cause. As a representative of the people, I thank you.

　The king of this country the king told me so.
　I kneeled down in front of the king, bowed my head and gratefully accepted the king's words.
　There were several people around him watching the meeting between me and the king.

　........I really don't want to do it like this.
　Even a thousand years ago, I wouldn't have lost my attitude in front of the king.

　But I don't think I need to make waves.
　A thousand years have passed, and I am a grown-up.

"So Your Majesty, Your Majesty. What do you want from me?

　I ask the king.
　The king, with his magnificent moustache, strokes his beard.

Hmm. I've heard a lot about you from the Rozan Lira Magical School. I'm sure you've heard that this time around, a horde of demons has come to the capital. You're going to have to be careful about what you say.　Hey, it's the headmaster of the Magical Academy.
Ha!

　The principal, who was standing in line next to me and listening to the conversation with me, responds briefly.
　I hear he's hundreds of times more nervous than I am.
　For my part, I'm only thinking "I can't wait to go home


　--The only thing I can think of is that I want to go home as soon as possible," he said, after annihilating the army of demons with the help of Lara and Marlies and defeating Maynard of the Four Wise Men.
　I was summoned to the royal palace.

　It is a castle where the king lives.
　That castle rises high and can be worshipped from anywhere in the royal city.

　It was cumbersome, but........well, it can't be helped.
　After all, this time around, this matter is far too big to be left as an issue for a single school.
　As the king of the country, he can't afford not to listen to what he has to say.


'And it's not just this time. I've heard a lot about it. It's said that the Disualia Magic Academy cheated during the exchange battles, and if you wanted to talk to them in neutral city, they sent an assassin to you.

　Hmm.
　That seems like a terribly fond memory, even though it's recent.
　Maybe it's just as well, but it was all in the king's ear.

I've been told that Kurt is not only a student, but also a teacher. He was able to raise the power of the students of Rosanlila Magical Academy and was able to respond to this demon attack.

　This wasn't a mistake either.
　From then on, not only Lara and Marise, but also other students were taught uncensored magic.
　As a result, the common sense of inefficient magic was slowly being reevaluated.

'So to speak, Kurt is a child of God who has received the grace of an archangel. It is said that there are a thousand lovers in the school. They say that his abilities can transcend time and space...

　Hmm?
　There's some misinformation starting to get mixed up.
　The only one of them that's not necessarily wrong is the last one.

"It is, Your Majesty. "That's right, Your Majesty, not a single word of Kurt's information has been wrong.

　Oh, come on.
　That's what the principal said with a confident look on his face.
　I didn't bother correcting him every time, so I kept my mouth shut.

I kept my mouth shut. I've heard that Kurt is one of the country's treasures...or rather, a brave man. If it weren't for Kurt, this monster attack would have escalated into a war.

　Don't be a brave man.
　A thousand years ago, there was a man who was given the title of brave, but he was so hapless that I remember being disgusted by his appearance.
　I can't help but smile bitterly at the sight of him.

I have to say that I'm very happy about it. I've prepared a small reward for Kurt for this incident. Kurt, can you accept it?
Well I'd take it if I could, but...

　I scratch my cheek.

I use the word 'modestly', so it doesn't sound like it's much of a big deal.
　So I replied without much hope.

The first one is........there is a fiefdom without a lord near the royal capital. Let's consign the territory there. I'll also confer the rank of 'duke' on you.
No, thank you.

　I'll answer immediately.


I'm going to be able to see that you're not the only one.　What the hell were you thinking!
'If you're saying a reward like this isn't enough!　No I wouldn't be surprised if you feel like you're missing out after what you did this time.
Worst case scenario, King's Landing would have been destroyed.


　There's a buzz of people surrounding us and listening to us.
　It's the other way around. It's not that there aren't enough, it's that there are too many of them.

　What will happen if you just defeat a bunch of Dark Demons and the Four Wise Men who smell like chewed-up dogs, and you get your domain?
　He might even end up being the king.
　The other extra demons were defeated by Lara and Marise.

''Excuse me, but I'm still a student. I'm not a respectable enough person to lead my people. Besides, I'm busy with my studies. Can we talk about that again after I graduate from school?
I don't mind if you say so, but he seems to be a very humble man. I like him more and more.

　Good.
　Apparently, the king's mood hasn't been offended either.

　
　In the first place, why do I have to manage the territory when I was reincarnated a thousand years later in search of 'someone stronger than me'?
　It's not in my nature.

Then you can have a national treasure.
A national treasure?
Hmm. The divine spear, Borricia, has been in this country for a thousand years. It has been around for a thousand years and has been passed down through this country for a thousand years. You should be able to use it.

　I have a bad feeling about this.

　As the king said that, three knight-like people brought a spear from another room.
　It's stored in a case, and it's quite tight.

''Ah........''

　But when I saw that, I almost said "No need" at once.


　The reason is because the divine spear Borricia was a failed product I made a thousand years ago.


　The only thing I wasn't very good at was blacksmithing magic, but I decided to make it for fun.

　In total, I made three thousand swords and spears this was the first spear I made.
　It's too badly done.
　It only grants only thirty magic. The magic metal is also inadequately processed.

　I'm not the one who named it Borikia.
　It's a failure and I can't even remember where I threw it away, so it doesn't have a name to begin with.

''What do you think?　You know what I mean. The spear is said to hold an incredible amount of magic.... I've heard that most people can't even pick up a spear in their own right.

　I wonder if he mistakes my disappointment for surprise.
　The king continued smoothly.

''Hmm ... well, yes. This spear is fine.''
'You don't look too happy about it!
'That's not true. I'm just surprised.

　I take the divine spear in my hand.
　With that alone, a thunderous "ooh" arose from the surroundings.

　The workmanship of this spear is terrible, but it also has some magic stones embedded in it, so it can be used as a material.
　If I refused any more, there would be no end to it and the king's reputation would suffer.

　When I was thinking about it.


Your Majesty!　Are you sure you want to give the divine spear to such a boy?


　Suddenly, the man standing next to the king spoke up.

''Knight Commander Ark. What are you saying now?
But...!

　
　I've been putting up with it until now, but when he saw me holding the spear in my hand, his emotions must have finally exploded.

　Only this guy Ark, I knew from the beginning that there was hostility in the way he looked at me.
　Well, he didn't pose much of a threat, so I let it go.

''Besides I doubt that boy Kurt's power.
What do you say, Ark?
'One boy took down a bunch of dark demons?　A demon race that is feared by some of the most powerful species in the world?　How can such a crazy story be possible? Even our knights would have to make great sacrifices if they were with the demon race.

　This guy sounds like he's doubting me.
　Well, from the point of view of the knights who are protecting this country, an existence like me can't help but hurt their pride and they consider me a hindrance.

''So there........I have a great idea.

　Had Ark thought of this beforehand?
　He didn't seem to be timid even in front of the king and continued to speak.


What do you mean?　That would be too rude, my Knight Commander, wouldn't it?
Then I'd like for you to teach Master Kurt some magic and fighting skills. He's such a force to be reckoned with. If that's fine with you, I'd be happy to allow you to join the Order.

　The Order?
　What the hell is this guy talking about?
　If you join the Order, you'll have a hard time going to school.

　And I want to live alone and free.
　I don't want to be tied down by the Order.

Hmm. If you want to be Kurt, then...
What do you think, Mister Kurt?　His Majesty the King has said this. What do you think?

　Ark asked with a grin and the corners of his mouth fished up.

　I'm in trouble........
　I don't think they're going to let me leave for free.

　But.........I want to know at least once about the strength of the knights of this era.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

''........There's one condition. I'd like to have you talk about the poop about joining the Order at another time. It may seem like I've said it many times, but I'm a student, so.......oh, if an enemy appears that can't be suppressed by the Knights, you can help me out as a single(ish) student.......
"Kukku, you look so confident.

　Ark laughs.

''Very well. I would love for you to fight with me as a knight, but if you're that committed to the magical academy, you should do so. And besides, leading other students at the magical academy will be a better asset to the country in the future.

　The king nodded.

　Apparently, the king is a man who understands what he's talking about.
　I'm lucky, because if it was my experience a thousand years ago, some people would have tried to force me into the royal family.

''Then I respectfully accept.

　It's at least a good workout.
