Haruyoshi Kuga’s power as the strongest exorcist is all for naught when he is betrayed by his closest ally. With his dying breath, he casts the secret Spell of Reincarnation—when he next opens his eyes, he finds himself in a different world altogether, reincarnated as Seika Lamprogue, the son of a family of magic scholars! He quickly learns that the magic in this new world is quite unlike the sorcery he learned in his past life and that he can’t use it. Fortunately for him, with his mastery of curses and the hordes of youkai at his disposal, he doesn’t need to. Haruyoshi (now Seika) is determined not to repeat his past mistakes in his second life by smartly laying low and avoiding flaunting his power. Yet accomplishing his goals and without drawing attention to himself proves to be easier said than done—will his powers be enough to live a happy life?!

When the academy is attacked by demons, Seika discovers that Amyu is the Hero. Eager to capitalize on her future power, Seika tries to befriend Amyu, only to be promptly rejected. Soon, an opportunity to forge a connection presents itself when both are “chosen” to perform a ceremony for the academy. Seika and Amyu enter the academy’s forest together only to discover a suspicious magic circle that teleports them into a dungeon in the blink of an eye. Will they make it out alive? And is this incident connected to the demon attack? The fates of the Hero and the exorcist begin to intertwine!
Now a second-year student at the academy, Seika is asked by the headmistress to participate in a combat tournament as the academy’s representative. Although he initially intends to decline, Seika changes his mind when introduced to the other representative, an uncanny girl named Mabel Crane. Between the unusual atmosphere about Mabel and the headmistress’s strange behavior, Seika decides there must be more to the tournament than meets the eye and elects to participate. What mysteries will the exorcist, committed to lying low, uncover as he advances in the tournament?
