Volume 1 - CH 1

Section 1 (Reincarnation・Enrolment in the Academy)

I opened my eyes.

I breathed in and out slowly.

I’m alive.

A low visual point and small hands.

The body of an infant.

……Success.

I have been reborn.

I felt sick from the memory integration that started immediately but I felt relieved.

Although I was confident in myself, in the event that I fail, I would die just like that; That made me feel uneasy. 

Anyway, what was going on here?

In a dimly lit room, an approximately three-years-old me, was sitting on the floor.

And on the floor, a magic circle was drawn with me in the centre.

Naturally, it was not the magic circle of reincarnation I had seen in the last moments of my previous life. Or perhaps I should say, I have never seen a hexagon magic circle like this.

At each point of the hexagon, something like stones were placed respectively.

It was similar to mineral but what was it? I don’t recognise this place either.

Secondly, there were signs of people too.

There were several people behind me.

I could also hear something similar to a faint incantation.

From the fact that the magic circle was glowing slightly, they seem to be in the middle of some spell.

I was hesitating whether I should flee but I had experienced nothing bad in the memories of this body that I possessed so I decided to wait for a while.

I did not want to be suspected of strange behaviour nor to be in trouble.

[I request you to show me the power this person possesses, in the name of ——————!!]

With the man’s deep voice, the remarkably strong magic circle shone……and then the light disappeared.

Nothing happened.

The people behind me were also silent.

Eh, what was this? Failure?

[……pfft, mwahahaha.]

The sound of soft laughter was heard, breaking the tense atmosphere.

[Hahaha, seriously? How is this even possible? Haha!]

[Gurai, stop laughing. It’s not over yet.]

[No, don’t you already know, Brother Luft. Look! No stone of any attribute has shone. This means…… it’s like that, isn’t it, father? ]

I turned my head back. 

There were three people, two of them were children and they were slightly older than me.

A boy with a bad personality, who showed an evil smile on his face and a boy who looked honest.

It was difficult to tell in the dark but both of them had golden hair and blue eyes.

Foreigners? Is this a Western country? However, I have never heard of this language and some of their features are also similar to the Japanese people so I don’t know.

[……That’s right. The ritual is over. The results are out.]

The last of the three people, a man in his prime, closed the book and said in a low voice.

He was on the verge of heaving a sigh, disappointment in his tone.

[Seika has no magical power at all.]

Seika.

That was my name in this life. It was in this body’s memories.

[That’s……too bad, isn’t it, father.]

[Puhahaha, hahahahaha! It’s funny. I can’t believe that the Lamprogue family, the great family of magic studies, would have someone born without magic! Brother Luft, did you know? It is the greatest failure for a magician to be without magic! Even though you have inherited our father’s blood in your veins, Seika, you are a terrible disgrace!]

These three people……who are likely my family members, are looking down on me, in disappointment and scorn.

For the first time, I was subjected to such a thing. I tilted my head.

It seems that magic is probably the power to use spells. Apparently, they are speaking to each other about how I don’t have the ability to do spells.

But that can’t be right.

For a reincarnated body, a body that can recreate the structure of my soul will be automatically selected.

Inevitably, it will be similar.

My looks and physique.

And even the ability to cast spells.

I am aware of the power that flows through me.

I just don’t need to check. Or perhaps I should say……it was more than what I imagined. 

I don’t have the ability to cast spells? What in the world are you talking about?

Even though this body is ———— overflowing with so much magical power.
