About

For a long time, humanity was threatened by monsters and the wicked Demon King who ruled over them.

Guest, the Hero, defeated the Demon King—the threat to the world—at great personal cost, finally bringing peace.

Now a legend, what Guest desires is──── "normal happiness."

Having awakened as the Hero at a young age and spent their life in constant conflict, Guest yearns for ordinary joy and school life.

Hiding the fact that they were the Hero, they have managed to enroll in the Royal Academy, a gathering place for the elite.

I'll get that normal happiness and experience youth at school!!

This is a story of a "normal" youth cultivated with a cast of unique students.

〈The Hero〉 ・A chosen one granted a special divine protection to guard humanity, possessing extraordinary power. ・Carries the mission to slay the Demon King and protect mankind. ・The timing of awakening varies by individual. ・The strongest existence, with only one appearing per generation.

〈The Demon King〉 ・The ruler of demons and monsters. ・The pinnacle of the demon race, appearing once per generation, second in strength only to the Hero.

〈Royal Academy〉 ・An elite school in the Kingdom of Sylvester where those with exceptional talent in fields like magic or swordsmanship are permitted to enroll from age 16. ・Divided into a handful of the highest-tier Special Class students, a dozen or so Advanced Class students, and the most populous Lower Class; classes shift based on grades. ・A three-year system, typically graduating at age 18. ・There is no social rank distinction within the academy.

Guest⤵︎ ・Awakened as the Hero as a child and lived a life of constant battle, so they don't really understand what "normal" is. ・Saved countless people as the Hero. ・Hiding their identity as the former Hero to attend the academy as a new student. It's not that they wanted to be the Hero. Refer to the user profile for other details.
