The Hero and the Sage, Reincarnated and Engaged

In a world ravaged by war and conflict, Hero Raid Freeden and Sage Eluria Caldwin clashed time and time again over fifty long years as the strongest soldiers of their respective nations. However, their long-standing rivalry came to an inevitable yet bitter end with Eluria’s sudden death. A thousand years later, Raid finds he has been reincarnated—and so has Eluria! The world may now be at peace, but the two have an unsettled rivalry between them and the mystery of their reincarnation looms ominously over their heads. There’s so much that needs to be done, so they decide to...get engaged and attend the Royal Institute of Magic together?!

After blasting through the unforeseen incident that befell the students on their very first exam, Hero Raid Freeden and Sage Eluria Caldwin are now the resident power couple of the Vegalta Royal Institute of Magic. Despite returning to the Institute safe and sound, they are weighed down by more questions than ever before. The mystery of their reincarnation just gets curiouser and curiouser with each hint they obtain, and yet, life at the Vegalta Royal Institute of Magic goes on. The overpowered duo spend their days preparing for their next exam while running into the most unique and unusual characters—from a notoriously eccentric princess to a bubbly dragon summoner—but not everyone they meet is exactly as they seem. When secrets emerge and stories unfold, will these seemingly innocuous encounters eventually lead Raid and Eluria to the truth they seek?

Raid and Eluria’s clash with Lufus Lailas and her Guardian Dragons reaches an eventful and ominous end as pieces of the puzzle finally come together and lead them closer to the “mastermind” they have been seeking all this time. With the long-awaited integrated exam right around the corner, students of the Vegalta Royal Institute of Magic turn eastward to sparkling waters and new adventures...while the Hero and the Sage turn to desolate lands and ancient ruins in search of answers long buried beneath the sand. They’re joined by an odd duo of special-class magicians from across the sea who carry their own set of curious circumstances. And thanks to an unexpected slipup from none other than the Hero himself, the eastern region turns out to be a land full of new developments and shocking discoveries for the most powerful couple in the world!

Raid and Eluria may have successfully averted a catastrophic disaster from ravaging Water Capital Palmare, but there’s little time for celebration. The vicious man they met in the underground ruins is still on the loose, and though they’ve finally found the “mastermind” behind their reincarnation, the answers to their questions paint a far grimmer picture than they could have ever imagined. Blissfully unaware of the brewing danger, people continue to gather for the integrated exam, from familiar classmates to family members they haven’t seen in a while—and even a daring romantic rival from across the sea! But Raid and Eluria are going to need all the help they can get if they’re going to face the ominous forces emerging from the shadows—and just as in the distant past, all will soon be decided on the battlefield.

World saved and invasion quelled, Raid and Eluria have every reason to breathe a sigh of relief and pat themselves on the back—but their work is far from over. Past mistakes must be rectified, old grievances must be settled, and most of all, an entire abandoned timeline still needs saving! With countless lives once again resting on their shoulders, the most powerful couple sets out into a ravaged world where everything they know only remains in tragic traces and bittersweet memories. Many problems await on the other side—from the devastated environment to the vicious empire coming after their heads—but surprisingly, the key to it all has already been by their side this entire time...in the form of a certain ordinary girl from the boonies!

Taking down an evil empire and establishing a new world is where most tales would mark their happily ever after, but for Raid and Eluria, this was no more than the first step in their painstaking journey to save the ravaged timeline. The true key to the world’s salvation lay somewhere deep in the infested continent, but there’s only so much they can do when they’ve got nothing but a war-torn empire on their side. The solution? A quick trip back home to fetch some supplies and personnel, of course! But therein lies a new problem: Raid has to lead the trip back home, while Eluria has to stay behind to protect the world. Splitting up for the first time since their reincarnation, the strongest couple brave their time apart with a tender promise to fulfill upon their reunion. And awaiting them after that...is the truth that was left to the world two millennia ago by a certain all-seeing sage!
