After defeating the 《Four Great Sages》 Zamuel, I cut off the supply of magic power and erased the Shadow.
　As if to tell the story of the fierce battle, the surroundings were all changed.

''Kurt, what was that magic you used earlier!
'You're still doing extraordinary things, as usual, and you're...'
Kurt, that's great. The Four Wise Men were no match for him.

　As I looked out at the landscape, the first thing Lara and the others said was something like that, and then they came around me.
　It's not as big a deal as this.
　It's not the first time, but it's still an itch to be told something like this.

''Oh, you really are a nobody!

　Avril pushed past Lara and the others and crowded in.

'I told you, I'm just a student,'
How could there be such a thing as a student like you?

　He doesn't believe me.

I have a few questions for you.
What?

　Avril nods her head.
　He recalls the battle with Zahmuel, as seen through Lara's perspective.

　Avril's magic, and magic power.
　It's not inferior to Lara, Marise, and Cynthia...or even beyond.

　He also used a magic called White Castle.
　White Castle is something that, by the standards of a thousand years ago, would have been in the advanced magic category.
　I would be able to use it easily, but........even if I remembered a thousand years ago, there were only a few wizards who could use White Castle.

　Now, here's the question.

''Avril's power is clearly out of line with the usual wisdom of this world. That magic power, where did you get it from?


　How can there be a wizard like this in this day and age?


　I could think of several possible candidates, but there was no definitive deciding factor.
　Besides.... when I saw Avril's magic, I felt somewhat nostalgic, but what is this feeling?

　When I asked that question, Avril pretended to think about it for a bit, and then

Hmmm ... does that have to be said?

　He looked up at me and said, "I'm not going to tell you.

'You don't want to tell me?'
Now.....
'Then you don't have to force me to tell you. I'm not going to force you to hear me out.

　He shrugs his shoulders.

　I'm actually quite interested in Avril.
　But as long as Avril isn't turning on me, I feel like it's not the same as forcing him to listen to me.

　Besides, he's saying 'now'.
　I'm sure he'll tell me one day.

'From my point of view, I think you're tens ... no, hundreds or even thousands of times stranger than me. Where did you get this power?
I've just been training since I was little.

　This is true.
　Ever since he was in that birthplace, he never missed training to increase his magical power and often went on rabbit hunts.
　The knowledge and power from his previous life alone would not have brought him to this point.

''That's a lie. I don't think that's enough to make me as strong as you are.

　I'm not telling you the whole truth, but I'm not lying.

Will you tell me?
I don't want to tell you now either.

　I looked at Lara and the others.
　Lara, Marise, and Cynthia looked uniformly puzzled.

　Honestly, I felt like I could tell Lara and the others that I had been reincarnated from a thousand years ago.
　
　That's why I still hadn't told Lara and the others anything about my reincarnation either.

''I see... then I shall not ask them either.

　Avril let out a breath.

'So ... what do you guys plan to do now?
I'm going back to Magical Academy.

　We've got what we wanted, and we've eliminated the interloper.
　We won't have to stay here any longer.

''To the Rosanrilla Magic Academy?''
'Yeah, of course. It'll be a bit of a farewell to Averill, won't it?

　When I say that.

Great Sage please show us some more of your amazing magic.
'Lara, it's not fair. I'm going to show you, learn and get Kurt to praise me too.
Cynthia I miss you.

　Lara and the others looked like they were going to miss it.
　But seeing that, Avril

''Mmmm ... this is going on on its own, but may I say a few words?''
What?

　As I replied, Avril made a grin and said.

''It's been a while since I've seen that headmaster. Why don't I go down to the human village and show my face at the magic academy too?

　The same as in the past.

'Averill-sama!　How did you get here!

　When he returned to the headmaster's office of the magic academy with Avril, the headmaster stood up quickly from his chair in surprise.

''Mm, it's been a long time. The last time we met was........thirty years ago?
'Yes. Averill-sama will remain unchanged.
You're still the same, aren't you?

　Hahaha, Averill laughed.
　The headmaster flinched in front of Avril.
　More and more the headmaster........and Avril, how old are both of them?　The question deepens.

'And yet, this boy Kurt. Are you sure he's just a student?　I'm going to use some crazy magic.
At least you're not just a student. But I am a student of a proper wizarding academy.

'No, it's certainly different than it was thirty years ago, but it's not what Averil-sama imagines it to be. It's a very normal progress, I think. Kurt is just weird.
So what is this Kurt?
That's ... I don't know, either.

　The headmaster makes a pose such as 'hands up'.

'Mr. Averill, let's save the old stories for later for now. 'Kurt.'
Yes, sir.

　Suddenly his name is called out.

'Did you get what you wanted?　At this rate, it might be a fool's errand to ask, but...
'Yes, I've got a good one. Thank you for telling me. In addition, the Four Great Sages attacked me, so I defeated them.
Wha...? The Four Wise Men!　You were okay!
'Of course. It's like being bitten on the ass by a dog.

　Well, I don't think I've even been bitten.

　I'd say that in return.

In addition to that, you have defeated the Empire and the Four Great Sages, one of the greatest wizards in the world. I can't even begin to explain it to you.

　And the headmaster couldn't seem to keep up with the processing in his head.
　He stroked his chin with his hand and continued.

It's not a good time to be talking about the 'exchange camp'. I'm sure they are planning something...
An exchange camp?

　An unfamiliar and disturbing word pops up from the headmaster, and I react immediately.

''Mm. At this time of year, when you're getting used to the classes, there is an annual exchange with the Empire's................Disualia Magic Academy.''
'Is it different from the last exchange game?'
''It's different. The previous exchanges were more of a 'battle', but this one is more of an 'exchange'. We take classes and recreational activities together. The exchange game was held in the capital, but this time the students of Rosanlila Magical School will be heading to the Empire. It's not easy to bring them all together, so we're going to send out 30 selected members from the royal capital, but...

　An exchange camp.
　The headmaster of the Disualia Magic Academy has been put to death for one incident in a neutral city.
　It seems that most of the teachers inside have also been fired.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's a good idea to have an annual event.
　I can only think that they are planning something.

　However.

It's a good idea to have an exchange camp. I don't know what the Empire is up to, but let's go!
Are you crazy, Kurt?
Yes, sir.

　Zahmuel had said.

'Those who still kill thee shall be sent from the Empire.

　And.

　But I'm tired of being in a position of waiting, and I'm tired of trying to figure out the source of my opponent.

　If that's the case.......let's go to the Empire.
We've just defeated all of the Four Great Sages, so it's about time.

I have a plan. If something happens, I'll take care of it and we'll have an exchange camp, shall we?
The only thing I can think of is that if Kurt says so, well, I don't think there's enough power left in Dis-Arria Magic Academy to do anything.

　There are two reasons as to why we are going to the Empire as an exchange camp.

　The first is to say 'I'm tired of waiting around, so I'm going to make the move.
　The other reason is that if the other side is planning something, going to the Empire as an exchange camp might catch the other side off guard.

''It's settled,''

　Turning away.

'Kurt, are you leaving already?'
Yes. Besides, you're talking about piling up with Averill.　I look like I'm in the way.

　He put his hand on the doorknob of the principal's office door.

'Hmmm, you know what I mean, boy. I'd like to have a little chat with this guy.
I don't like it when you say that because you're thinking about the wrong thing.

　I heard the principal sound like he was truly unhappy.
　I was curious about what was being said, but it would be tactless to listen in.

　I left the principal's office without saying a word.
