Basically, everything that everyone has said, still doesn't answer the question why Restia didn't appear again to Kamito before he joined the academy.
If she just showed up in front of him with her followers before he ever joined the academy again and said, "I'm back, but I can only stay with you if you grow stronger and become the Dark Spirit King" -- he'd probably go and do it :P
Hopefully the author will give some rationale for this.
