Once, he was a legend.

A swordsman who lived long enough to see his name fade into history, Leban chose a quiet life, far from war, far from glory.

Until one morning,

He woke up young again.

Restored to his prime, with strength that had never truly left him, Leban leaves his rural retreat and heads toward the capital of Lumerne… where his disciples now live their own lives.

Knights. Elites. Figures of power.

Students he once guided.

But time has changed more than just the world.

The city is unfamiliar.
The rules are different.
And the disciples who once looked up to him…

Now look at him in ways he doesn’t quite understand.

After easily passing the adventurer’s exam, slaying a basilisk alongside a sharp-tongued partner, Leban reunites with his first disciple, Ceres, now the proud captain of the Baekya Knights.

The reunion is warm.

Emotional.

And just a little… intense.

Because somewhere between past and present,

Respect has begun to blur into something else.

As he reconnects with his disciples one by one, Leban begins to realize:

Becoming young again didn’t just give him a second life,

It changed how others see him.

And perhaps…

How they feel about him.
