▷Reputation: B

▷Note: This punk got B-grade? Something’s wrong about this!
‘Tsk-tsk . Give it up . ’
No matter how much the Fantasy God insisted something was up by himself, my innocence and brilliance was heeded by the sky and witnessed by the earth .
Having slain Demon King Pedonar with ease, my combat ability was SS-grade . This grade was as I had expected, but the three other subjects didn’t turn out badly either . Triple B . I guessed that my grade in achievement fell as I had omitted to conquer the northern continent and intentionally avoided hunting so as to lower my Level . My reputation had likewise fallen, as the time I had spent in the Playthrough had been far too short for rumors to spread . Even if it hadn’t been as long as 7 years like in the 6th Playthrough, had I had at least several months, I would have gotten an grade . But as for character… I didn’t quite get why it was dropped .
▷You have passed .
Passed!
It was sweetness to my ears, like a celestial melody .
▷Congratulations on your graduation .
▷Certificate: The above student always adventured with earnesty and practiced righteous good deeds of his own accord . Furthermore, he became a role model for the natives of Fantasy by always caring for and giving way to his companions . Therefore, the above student is to be appointed an rank Hero . Sincere congratulations on graduating .
I was appointed a B-rank Hero back in the 4th Playthrough, where my graduation was put on hold due to an unfair judgement, but this time I received an rank . In all honesty, I didn’t care whether I got C-rank or D-rank . I only wanted to be sent back to Earth a minute, even a second faste…
▷Beginning graduation ceremony .
‘A graduation ceremony of all things?! Let’s be real now and not do something like having the principal give a speech!’
▷The teaching staff are pleased at your graduation .
▷Specialist instructor’s disciplinary probation will be lifted .

▷Job “Hero” will be revoked .
▷Weapon “Holy Sword” will be retrieved .
▷Condition “Student” will be removed .
Like the other graduates I had met during the Hero Festival, I too lost the education-purpose Job “Hero”, but all that was actually taken back was the Job . I didn’t possess the training aid “Holy Sword” that was smeared with automatic features, to begin with, and I wasn’t even aware of the Condition “Student” . Things were going according to my calculations, but at that moment…
▷Principal’s speech .
‘Really? Not kidding? Please, keep it short . ’
▷Speech: I sincerely congratulate you on graduating with excellent grades when you must have been unfamiliar with the elementary education curriculum . I cannot help but feel a tremble every time I witness an outstanding graduate . I give a few words of entreaty to you, who will soon be taking the first step out into the world . First, go out into the world and meet new love and friendship . The bonds you have built up here are precious also, of course, but think of where you must truly be—your family and hometown are awaiting you . Second, foster hopes and dreams as you have been doing . A journey with no desired destination will become wearisome in no time . Fix your gaze on the high mountains and go forth without fear . Third, do not forget the knowledge learned and beautiful memories made in this unfamiliar world . They will protect you from the trials and hardships that will someday find you like destiny . There will be nothing to worry about so long as you do not forget the teachings until now, because you are a graduate that we have acknowledged . (Omitted) . One more lastly . No matter how tough the going gets, how lonely you become, never give up . As long as you do not give up, the teaching staff will always be by your side . There was a time when the staff were also students . They know your heart better than anybody else . If the seniors lead their juniors, and the juniors support their seniors in harmony, we will be capable of doing anything . Have courage and strive forward with strength . Once again, I sincerely congratulate you .
‘… Is it finally over?’
He had gone on and on, unnecessarily so . At my middle school graduation ceremony, my homeroom teacher had said, “Contact me if you run into any difficulty!” but we never contacted each other to meet . Rather than not having the chance, I simply didn’t?
In the future, I wasn’t going to even take a leak in the direction of Fantasia, though I didn’t know what direction that was .

‘Barbaric fantasy! Let’s not ever meet again!’
▶Sniff: I feel relieved yet sad, Cadet Kang Han Soo . Congratulations .
‘Of course, Miss Trainee Teacher’s an exception! Call me whenever you’re missing the strong chest and arms of a man . If it’s you, I’ll give at least a night’s sleep regardless of face and figure . ’
▶Pout: I’m popular myself, I’ll have you know?! Though by no means does that mean I’ve slept with many men before! Cadet Kang Han Soo . Please refrain from saying things that’ll cause misunderstandings! Huh? Didn’t I say something similar previously as well? Anyway! Please take care in front of other women too!
Miss Trainee Teacher had been guarding my side for almost 8 years since the 4th Playthrough, though I couldn’t remember most of that time as I was frozen the entire 6th Playthrough . We had a special relationship, in a way, and seeing how we were going to part like this, I did feel a bit sad .
“Well… I’m sure I’ll totally forget her as I meet with some refined ladies of Earth!”
▷Ending graduation ceremony .
‘Oh beloved Earth, Kang Han Soo is coming for you right now . ’

Blinking, I opened my eyes that had been blurry for a moment .
A city covered in sooty smoke, far yonder, was caught in my sight, but it was no shabby city of a fantasy world . There I saw towering buildings of artificial concrete and glass, as numerous as the trees in a forest .
It was a modern city I was seeing again after a whole 17 years . Night had long fallen, yet the city alone was shining . No, even the road leading to that city was illuminated by streetlights . While the stars of the sky weren’t visible, hidden by the thick, dirty smoke, the city itself sparkled bright like a jewel box—a spectacle that could never be seen in a fantasy world . Even the Sage’s Tower, which had magic that was advanced to the utmost at its disposal, wasn’t able to achieve such a night view .
“Hooooph!”
I inhaled deeply and felt an unpleasantness, as if my lifespan would shorten even if I merely sat still breathing . It was definitely the smell of the polluted air I remembered from my home planet, but being careless was taboo . I steadily gazed with sharp eyes at the night sky . When I concentrated, there was no constellation that I couldn’t see with my vision that surpassed even that of an astronomical telescope .
I could see the constellations I had learned about during earth science lessons; Scorpio, Sagittarius, Polaris…
And the last was the one and only pure-white moon .
“I’ve really come back-! Hahaha!”
