Betrayed by his allies and on the verge of death, the strongest exorcist, Haruyoshi Kuga, desired only one thing—to be happy in his next life. Using the secret art of reincarnation, he was transported to another world. Reborn as Seika Lamprogue, third son of a distinguished family of magic scholars, he’s found to have no magical power whatsoever, which is an unacceptable shame in a family of mages. However, he soon comes to realize that his new world’s magic is nothing compared to the sorcery he mastered as an exorcist. With his control over divination, curses, and legions of youkai who serve him, his life in this new world should be a breeze! The only question is: how can he make use of those powers while laying low to avoid another untimely demise?

A year after demons attacked the academy, Seika, now a second-year, is asked by the headmistress to take part in a combat tournament after it suddenly repealed its ban on mages. Although he initially wants to decline, once introduced to the academy’s other participant, a new student by the name of Mabel Crane, he decides to enter. Something seems off about Mabel, and it’s strange that a new student was invited to participate instead of someone proven like Amyu. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Seika travels to the imperial capital to join the tournament. Who is Mabel, and why were the tournament’s rules abruptly changed? Entering is the only way to find out.
During spring break of his second year at the academy, Seika returns to the Lamprogue estate for the first time since he left. At the request of his family, he brings Amyu and the others along. Awaiting them were Seika’s older brother Gly, who had left to join the military, and the stunningly beautiful Fiona, an imperial princess with a mysterious power. Meanwhile, danger lurks nearby as a group of demons intent on killing the Hero infiltrate the academy. When Seika goes to intercept them and protect Amyu, they realize something about him that brings them one step closer to the truth of Seika’s existence.
