Before I reincarnated two hundred years into the future, before I even helped to defeat the Demon King of Twilight, I was just a young mage doing my best to survive in a world that hated me for the eyes I was born with. Along the way, I met some people who would become my reliable allies, in a party known as the Great Four. This is the story of who we were before we became heroes.

Good grief. Was I naive to hope for a peaceful life at the magic academy? I've sure got my hands full, what with my classmates' superiority complexes, Ted's lofty desire to befriend everyone, Eliza mysteriously popping up everywhere I go, and Lilith's inability to separate business and pleasure. If all that wasn't enough, I'm being watched too. I don't know who they are or what they want...but if they're looking for a fight, they're gonna regret it....

Good grief. Guess I shouldn't have expected more from the research societies of this academy. Just one of them caught my eye, and it literally only has one member. Between choosing a research society, keeping people out of danger, and something more nefarious going on in the background, it's hard to pursue my goal of a peaceful, student life. On the other hand, I'm finally getting closer to figuring out the mystery of why mages are so much weaker...
