It's time to slay another demon!
Doing so isn't going to be easy, of course, but if lessons learned are applied and MC embraces new character growth, literally no antagonist can stop them. That is the greatest power of any protagonist—in fact, it's the only way they can win!
In this case, the 'lessons learned' are regarding friendship, magic, and yes, even love. It may sound sappy but this is a serious area of growth MC has been woefully deficient in given their upbringing and personal mentality/limiting beliefs. It's something so fundamental that only an age reversal + taking on a radically different identity enabled them to really be able to explore, experience, and learn the kind of stuff we take for granted.
MC is a fundamentally different person now then they were before enrolling at the Academy, and the greatest changes have nothing to do with new powers or appearances.
