I Became a Murderer in the Academy.

The reason Sera applied to join the hero party was partly due to her loyalty to Ariel, but more than anything, she had nowhere to go after graduation.

She had never properly considered her future. Of course, for someone with Sera's abilities, there were plenty of places she could go, but whether they were truly the paths she desired was questionable.

That’s why she wanted to follow Ariel. She believed that being by his side was where she belonged.

Clana's reason for joining the hero party was even simpler. She was a saintess. She would eventually have to stand on the battlefield.

While others feared the battlefield that the hero party represented, Clana had to go to an even harsher battlefield if she didn’t join.

In fact, it could be said that she had almost no choice.

And the reason Iria applied to the hero party was...

“...”

There was indeed a plausible backstory behind it.

She had heard the news that Ariel was forming a new hero party and would soon head to the battlefield.@@novelbin@@

To confront the remnants of the Demon Lord's army, declaring that this time, they would uproot the war once and for all.

With the awakened power of the star, Ariel possessed the strength and talent to do just that.

Alongside him would be Sera and Clana, who also bore similar talents, so they had ample potential to become humanity’s hope, just like the previous hero party.

And.

'A hero party opposing the Demon Lord's army.'

As all the students in the academy had heard the news, so had Iria.
