Author notes:

Late post. I couldn't connect on the internet last night. I'll release Tale 3 later.

-----------------------------------------

20 of 200 new students walks forward.

I decided that I..... will take LRBW department.

I've pick what I think is the safest and practical way to earn money. I don't want to make my family worried of my own safety whenever I get missions if I am to join the Adventurer's Department. I'm also a coward, so I wouldn't fit in even if I join that department.

But what happened next revolved all things around.

I saw another man who gave a letter to the instructor. Then he looks at me and says.

"You there, come forward."

"Eh? me?"

"Yeah, you little coward."

I was thinking of a reason why did he call me. Hmmm.. can't think of any reason.

I proceed forward with caution. All of the students who left stared at me while I was walking. The plump man and his lackeys snorted, since they are also one of those 20 students. What catches my eye was the girl with blonde hair. She has a average stature, average chest size, green eyes and reddish lips. Her eyes are also fixed at me like the other three. I accidentally muttered:

"What a beauty."

Oops! What was I saying! I looked again at her. She responds with a smile. What an angelic smile!

"Don't space out boy! You're wasting everyone's time!"

After the instructor said those words, all of the students laughed. She also giggled. How embarrassing!

"Okay, those students who didn't join the Adventurer's department, go to your respective first choice classes."

"You newbies, follow that man."

A man approached our group, gives a signal to follow him.

As I walk with the rest, someone grabbed my shoulder.

"You, and that blonde girl, follow me."

I knew that this would happen since he picked me, but I was confused why did that blond girl also need to follow? I proceed behind the instructor towards the principal's office.

We reached the principal's office without talking with each other. There we saw the principal sitting while placing his hand on his chin and another person wearing a knight's armor with a royal symbol. I saw a letter at the principal's desk.

"You may go out, [Rog].

"Yes, Principal."

The instructor goes out of the room.

"Hmm? Is that the Reincarnated Hero?"

The man with armor asked the principal.

"According to this letter, he's that person."

"He looks like a little coward to me."

The knight pointed at me.

"My, my. They say looks are deceiving. Look at that girl. Does she look like the Demon King to you?"

"!?"

As the principal announced a shocking revelation, I sensed great danger. I felt nervous, making me faint.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The seal encrypted on m Avatar was temporarily broken.

"Life. Death. Resurrection. I crossed the boundaries that removes my mortality. I am not a god, but an immortal!"

As my Avatar unconsciously muttered those words, I entered his unconscious body.

"Well, it seems you saved me the trouble to find her."

I pointed my legendary sword of [Maximus] at the blond woman using my left hand. It seem she remains expressionless, not losing her composure..

"My, it looks like the rumors are true."

According to my Avatar, he's this institutions leader, also called the principal.

"What gives you the right to summon me?"

Then I pointed another sword I summoned on my right hand, the legendary sword [Tranquil] at him.

"Dont be hasty, Sir Hero. I'm here to give you a report. And don't waste your time on her. The reports says she only has the "Brand of the Fallen", but not the alter ego of the Demon King."

The "Brand of the Fallen". A tattoo found at the back of right hand. It is the symbol that identifies if that person is the Demon King or not. It reacts with mana, so it remains invisible until contact with mana

My symbol was the "Symbol of Justice", which would be found at the back of my left hand. Same as Brand of the Fallen, it only reacts on mana usage.

"So she's an empty Avatar with large pool of mana, huh."

I released both of my swords from my targets.

"Tell me all news you collected."

"Yes, Sir Hero. It seems that during your last battle with the Demon King, 117 years ago, you shattered the Demon King's body, right?"

"Yeah, I remembered that happen. So what of it?"

"There are reports that his alter ego also died. But since you divided it from it's body, the alter ego reborns to another person. But that ego wants to retrieve his original body, which is in front of you, to start another deathmatch between you two."

"That idiot, why won't he learn from our previous battles that he'll never defeat me........"

I continued:

"Wait, I remembered, you said that this girl..... doesn't have her alter ego... right?"

"It looks like it."

"It seems I've given you more trouble huh, Altair."

The principal asked me:

"Ummm. Sir Hero, what should be the name that I would use to call you?"

"[Qazar] is fine.. If you receive any news about the Demon King's alter ego, please summon my Avatar."

I approached the blond girl.

"May I know your name?"

"Eleanor, Eleanor Vega."

"Then Eleanor, please take care of my Avatar, he may be a bit coward, but he's always put his family and friends first before anything else. If you want, be friends with him."

I smiled towards the girl. She smiles back and said:

"Yes."

I took a glance at the principal.

"Then please take care of my avatar."

"We'll always take care of our students."

"Good."

I left my Avatar's body.

I muttered to myself:

"I see, good for you, my Avatar. It looks like your luck is good, this time.."
