Pens Down, Swords Up: Throw Your Studies to the Wind

The third son of a viscount, Allen Rovene has hated studying since the day he was born. And no wonder—after suddenly regaining the memories of his past life at the age of twelve, he realizes he spent the entirety of his previous life hunched over a desk, studying like a studyholic! Reborn into his dream world of swords and magic, he’s determined to make the most of his second chance by ditching the books and living a carefree, unburdened life—until he realizes the path to freedom has a detour in the form of the most renowned school in the kingdom: the Royal Knight and Mage Academy of Yugria. To become the magic-wielding, sword-swinging adventurer of his dreams, Allen’s going to have to repurpose his well-honed study skills toward one goal—passing the hellish entrance exams and heading to the Royal Academy!

Allen Rovene has achieved his goal of getting into the prestigious Royal Knight and Mage Academy of Yugria. Now all he needs to do is realize his clichéd reincarnation dream...by figuring out how to cast Emissive Magic! Sage Godolphen has promised to introduce him to a teacher who might have an idea or two about how to achieve that, but first Allen will have to prove himself to the old man, all the while avoiding getting roped into trouble by his classmates along the way. Easier said than done, because Class 1-A seems stubbornly intent on inserting themselves into every aspect of his new life! Determined to sample everything his new world has to offer, Allen doesn’t want to be tied down by anything—but somehow, the path to becoming an awesome mage seems to lead straight into a career with the Order of the Royal Knights... Will Allen ever manage to cast a fireball, or is he doomed to yet another unfulfilling life as a corporate slave?

Across the kingdom, all eyes are on Allen Rovene, Class 1-A’s mysterious new troublemaker. However, Allen’s only got one thing on his mind: vacation! Between overcoming Godolphen’s challenge and joining the Royal Order, he hasn’t had it easy since school started—but summer’s here at the Royal Academy, which means it’s time to close the books and open the door to adventure. From exploring his new world to hanging out with his friends, Allen’s determined to enjoy every last second his break has to offer—and with his newly invented magic up his sleeve, he’s going to go wherever the wind takes him! Perhaps he’ll run into a familiar face along the way...? But before he can set off on his trip, Allen’s going to have to confront the battle he’s been putting off for far too long: a reunion with his terrifying sister, Rosa. And for some reason, his classmates have decided to come along for the show! Will Allen even survive long enough to experience the free-spirited summer of his dreams?

Allen’s solo vacation might be over, but summer break is still in full swing! Returning to the capital just in time to avoid Dew’s wrath, Allen soon finds himself swamped with work at the Royal Order—namely assisting with security during the biggest event of the year: the Yugrian Foundation Festival! Representatives from all over the continent come to compete in the Nova Cup, a fighting tournament featuring the most talented and dangerous students from the surrounding nations. With rumors of war growing stronger by the day, it’s up to Allen to ensure that mock battles don’t turn into the real thing—even if all he wants to do is sample the exciting food on offer at the festival stalls... Can Allen make it back for his second semester at the Academy without sparking an international conflict?

Allen’s second chance at life hasn’t always gone exactly to plan—which makes sense, seeing as how his dreams of “redoing his youth” never included swords, magic, or unnervingly unpredictable classmates. Thankfully, he can overlook the otherworldly and offbeat additions to his new life, because the time has finally come for a fundamental school memory to be made... Their second semester is underway, which means Allen and the rest of Class A are heading off on the Royal Academy’s annual camping trip! Sleeping in tents, building campfires, swapping romantic gossip—Allen can’t wait for the much-anticipated antics to begin. Unfortunately, it seems like Godolphen might have other plans for his unsuspecting students... With their homeroom teacher apparently confused about the difference between “camping trip” and “military campaign,” will Allen be able to turn things around and enjoy the quintessential experience of his dreams?
