I mean if you did that much for humanity and then saw all your companions being commemorated while your efforts were completely erased or distorted, wouldn’t you wonder why? Especially when it seems like someone is actively erasing him from history, not just the fact that people forgetting after 5,000 years.
I think the demons are doing it deliberately so there won’t be another Kyle. Since past heroes give the new generation hope and motivation, and humans are the easiest to erase because their lifespans are so short. So I don’t think he’s doing this just for “past honour”, he’s trying to figure out why his existence is being erased in the first place.
So far as I've read in the novel. Leo don't have any romance he just treat his classmates and friends practically like his grandchildens.
There are some of his classmates and seniors that has confirm relationship with others (I wont tell who but its the less likely perosn you'll think that can pull ladies *wink wink*).
The primarily reason he wants to try to tell people about him is first he suffered so much why cant he get credit (remember he is have that mean streak to him) cause the world was basically on its end that time and he had sealed erebus which restored the peace but then he eventually wanna make things right cause he think that he did a sloppy job of eliminating erebus cause he only sealed him and not k1ll him on his previous life and also he wanted to give proper credit to his comrade that without them he will not be able to seal erebus
He also knows that although he is currently experiencing peace, its not total peace unless he manage to take down the commanders of erebus cause will always be preparing for his Resurrection and whqat better way to prepare himself but to enroll at the academy where he can properly learn magic, swordsmanship and summoning and can give him the valid reason to be on the front lines. Tbh he doesnt care for recognition on thi life, he just wanted to finish what they (him and his friends) started(the completed subjugation of erebus) cause along with the powers that his friends entrusted to him was also their hopes and dreams for the peaceful future
is this good or not? have romance or not? hero-complex or not?
if not good, had romance, and utterly a hero-complex or any hero-wtf. i wont read.
like - whats so bad being treated as a fictional legend? so what its already 5000 years later as he reincarnated fully. whether he got vilified as a villain or not, so what does that matter?
just live a new life in his reincarnated identity. without making things complicated.
unless, the secret behind it disrupt his current life.
so why he must enter the academy just for the sake of past honor? just because he wasnt regarded as hero in history?
