Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Upon returning to the college after a long absence, the classmates felt a sense of déjà vu and greeted each other.

Even Roger received a lot of greetings.

After the attack during the final exams, the cohesion of Class 1 has significantly improved.

Of course, besides that, after nearly two months apart, there was some distance and awkwardness between people.

Rogge glanced at Princess Lingsa.

Princess Lingsa sat upright in her seat, her eyes flickering from time to time. She seemed hesitant to talk to anyone and appeared very reserved.

So Rogge simply stood up, walked up to Princess Lingsa, and patted her on the shoulder with a mischievous grin.

"Hey, you really are an idiot, aren't you? It's been over a month since I last saw you, and you're still as clueless as ever."

"W-what?"

Princess Lingsa was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Rogge's wicked look, she was immediately furious.

"I'm not stupid!"

She stood up, her face flushed, and glared at Roger on tiptoe.

"It's been so long, why do you still call me an idiot?! You're the idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!"

"I'm relieved to see that you haven't made any progress in so long."

"You haven't improved at all! Mom, Dad, and my older siblings all say I've become more sensible! Humph! Ha!"

"Then why are you still so childish? It's kind of cute."

"Huh? Ha... Cute... You actually said cute... Ha! I know, you must be... you must be teasing me again... I won't fall for it! Humph! Ha..."

Princess Lingsa was panting heavily, her face flushed and steaming.

It really hasn't changed at all.

"They say a new year brings new beginnings. How come you're bullying Ling Sha again as soon as school starts...?"

Even Julie, who was standing nearby, shook her head in disapproval.

However, after being teased by Roger, Princess Lingsa quickly relaxed and started chatting with her friends from last semester again.

Roger smiled, concealing his accomplishment, and returned to his seat.

When class time arrived, the homeroom teacher held an opening class meeting, which goes without saying.

Around noon, the Holy Sword Maiden, to everyone's astonishment, came to Rogge's seat.

"I'm hungry, let's eat."

"Okay, don't rush me."

Reluctantly, Rogge stood up and followed the Sword Maiden to the cafeteria.

"Ah, Brother Roger, wait for me."

Ira saw the two leave and quickly followed them.

This can be considered a habit formed during the winter break.

After all, only the three of them stayed at school during the entire winter break, and Rogge spent his days either practicing swordsmanship with Sword Maiden or wandering around aimlessly with Ira.

We ate together in the cafeteria quite a few times.

However, it seemed rather unusual to the other students.

"Really? The Holy Race Sword Maiden actually invited that Rogge to dinner."

"It seems like all of them chose to stay on campus during winter break. Did we miss something?"

"This is the first time I've seen a Holy Race Sword Maiden initiate a conversation with someone..."

……

After lunch break, it's time for the afternoon talent training session.

The teacher re-examined the students' talents.

Compared to their predetermined fate, the students in Class One have made far-reaching progress.

Among them, Rogge was found to have awakened a new talent.

[Natural Vitality (A+)]

This is a blessing given by the fairy, which is a degraded version of the [Eternal Life] talent without activating the Sinful Blood.

It has a simple and unpretentious effect.

It endowed Rogge with energy and resilience far exceeding that of others.

Combined with his tenacious and indomitable personality, Rogue is enough to make him an invincible Saint.

This extremely rare acquired awakening immediately attracted the attention of the academy.

The college immediately conducted a thorough physical examination on Roger and reached a conclusion.

Everyone agreed that Rogge was extremely lucky; he had absorbed the remaining essence of the Tree of Life, which allowed him to awaken this acquired talent.

Having awakened his acquired talent, Rogge immediately became the academy's primary focus.

For this reason, Rogge became a model for the academy to promote.

This greatly aroused the hatred of the Celestial Nobles.

After making his presence felt, Rogge's second semester officially got on track.

……

Despite the occasional reports of alien races appearing outside, the second semester was very peaceful for the students of the Royal Academy.

After the first semester of adjustment, and with Rogue's active participation in the final exams, the conflict between the Celestials and the Mortals has eased considerably.

A small number of Celestial nobles who resented Rogge challenged him.

After being crushed by Rogge, they also chose to back down.

Rogge had no particular interest in those Celestials; throughout the second semester, he was single-mindedly focused on finding the Sin Prison Sword.

To find the Demon Sword of Sin, one needs to peruse forbidden books and learn about the history of the alien race.

So he went straight to Maya and tried to get close to her.

"Maya, I noticed you were quite interested in history during your field training. I'm also interested in learning about the history of the Sin Clan. Would you be interested in exchanging ideas with me?"

"You want to study the history of the sinful race? Why?"

Maya adjusted her glasses, puzzled.

Are you asking a question you already know the answer to?

Roger smiled calmly.

Through various forms of publicity and coincidences, his reason is singular.

"Of course, it's for that woman from the criminal race who's always in the news! She's my target!"

"Huh?"

The one who exclaimed was Princess Lingsha, who was eavesdropping nearby.

Rogge stared at Princess Lingsa with a mischievous look.

"What's wrong? You idiot, are you interested too?"

"Me? Why would I be interested? And don't call me an idiot!"

Princess Lingsa glared angrily at Rogge.

Roger didn't take it seriously and instead sighed.

"That's a real pity. Actually, I was planning to establish a research club on the history of alien races, and I'm currently actively recruiting members. You are one of the members I'd like to recruit."

"Hmph! Ha... Who would join your club? Well... if you really want me to join, well, it's not impossible..."

"Then I'll take that as a yes."

Rogge decisively helped Princess Lingsa make a choice, and then looked at Maya.

"So, Maya, do you want to join?"

"If Lingsa joins too... then I'll join too."

Maya nodded in response.

"very good."

Rogge smiled knowingly.

……

In the days that followed, Rogge began to frequently take Ira and Princess Lingsa to and from the library, and formed an interest group with Maya to discuss the history of alien races and the Lost Era.

During this time, Julie noticed that her former field training buddies were playing together, and she couldn't resist running over to join in the fun.

Rogge also used the establishment of a history research club as a pretext to successfully connect with the college's history professors.

As fate would have it, the other party was one of the human traitors recruited by Rogge, and unsurprisingly, developed a great interest in Rogge's historical research direction.

He immediately expressed his willingness to provide Rogge with history-related assistance and to become an advisor to the society when Rogge establishes it.

Everything is progressing smoothly.

Rogge could sense that this was the right way to find the Demon Sword of Sin.

The chances of finding the Demon Sword of Sin have increased.

The system also acknowledged Rogge's intuition.

One day during the semester, Rogge's daily campus life took a small turn.

The four good-for-nothings who hadn't shown their faces in a long time actually came to his door and cornered him in the corridor.
