With the hieral menace Ripple now safe and the school in a reconstruction phase, Inglis—former hero—king and current talk of the town—is summoned by the king himself to the palace, where she's offered a promotion to captain of the Royal Guard! This leap up the ranks is as unconventional as it would be desirable to almost anyone else, but Inglis turns it down as a matter of course, preferring to someday fight on the front lines.

Inglis and her friends decide to protect Ripple at the academy until the problem of her attracting magicite beasts is solved. As the academy's elite are gathered, Inglis makes the acquaintance of a young man who's the only current student with a special-class Rune and a Runeless girl who shows exceptional strength. Inglis is already feeling great as the number of strong people around her continues to increase, and when she hears of a Steelblood plot to assault the palace, that same excited grin is back on her face.

His patron goddess, Alistia, hears his plea and smiles upon him, flinging his soul into the far future.
