Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki (The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World)

Ever since I was a child, I have sought power.

I thought that as long as I had power, nothing could ever be taken from me.

That I could be happy.

I got the power I wanted.

I summoned powerful ayakashi monsters to be my servants,

and became the strongest in every sense of the word.

But on that awful night...

So this is the end of "history's strongest exorcist"...

The fact that my students were taken as hostages...

The fact that I had to oppose the Imperial Court...

It was all because I sought too much power.

So I lost everything...

It's fine. It's not your fault.

The Court are cowards... sending my favorite student after me...

What I lacked was cunning.

But next time, I'll do better.

I'll start over. One more time.

And this time, I won't fail.

In my next life...

Spirits of fire, water, earth, wind, light, and shadow.

In the name of Blaze Lamprouge, I beg of you...

Show me the power that this child possesses.

What?

Is that even possible?

Look at this, Brother Ruft!

None of the element stones are shining!

That means what I think it does, right father?

Indeed.

The ritual is over.

Seika lacks any magical power at all.

You're an embarrassment!

In this world, humans and demons co-exist, and magic is real.

This is the home of the Lamprouge Clan, an important clan of Mages.

I was reborn as Seika Lamprouge, its third son...

Though my mother was a mistress, I've heard.

And without any magic, either.

But it's not an issue.

This body may have no magical power,

but it has incredible spiritual power.

Paper's valuable, so I'll try with this.

On pancharika vidi sowaka.

Shikigami

Done. My leaf shikigami are complete.

Hey, what are you doing?

Say something! Loser!

Brother Gly, stop it.

"Please stop, sir", you mean.

That's not how you talk to your elders.

Loser!

What the heck is going on?

Get away from him!

I guess that's being too hard on the kid.

Where did those crows come from?

Gly, are you hurt?

It hurts. It hurts!

Are you okay, Seika?

Yeah.

I see.

I can see why he's suspicious.

It's weird that I was the only one they didn't attack.

Well, I've sent my shikigami off.

That'll make it easier to gather information about this world.

I'm 7 years old now.

But perhaps since I'm the child of a mistress, there was no celebration.

Most people just left me alone.

I learned a lot after that.

This country is huge.

It's similar in some ways to the land of Europe in my old world,

but the civilization here is more advanced, peaceful, and wealthy.

Huh?

Yes?

Yifa?

Seika, um... here.

It was in the bushes.

Thanks, Yifa.

Gly again, I assume.

I'm amazed you found it, though.

Well, um...

It was just luck.

Hey, slave!

Master Gly!

Why aren't you working?

I'm sorry, sir!

Seika, you out playing in the grass again?

Life's easy when you have no magic.

You don't have to study.

Me, though? I'm going to a magic academy!

So I'm busy! Unlike you!

And I'm on my way to Imperial Lodonea Magic Academy, too,

a famous school that's produced a lot of court mages!

Lodonea Magic Academy...

Just so you know there's no way you're getting there!

The best you can hope for is the army-

What are you doing?

Gly. I told you I would help you study magic today.

Come with me.

Y-Yes, sir.

Father?

May I come, too?

Green gathers in a spiral, spirits fill the air...

Come together and become my blade! Wind Edge!

Okay. Your turn Gly.

Go for it!

Right!

Red burns bright!

Spirits of flame and sulfur!

Let out a roar and gather your anger into a sphere!

Fireball!

Okay.

Since Dad's watching, why don't you give it a try?

Come on, go ahead.

Stop it, Gly.

Okay. I'll try it.

I swore a vow that I wouldn't seek power or to become strong.

So to be honest, I don't want to reveal my spells here.

But...

Look at him, holding it like a grown-up.

The truth is that the strong always exploit the weak.

I call forth earth and fire.

Phosphorous fragments summoned as Earth ki,

and ignited by fire ki.

On aguni buumi sowaka.

Fireball.

Phase of fire and earth.

Oni Flame!

A blue fireball?

With no incantation?

And how is it so strong?

Maybe my magic was so strong some of it remained in the wand?

No, that's not how it works.

There are examples of people who were able to use magic without being born with it.

It's also said that the nature of their magic can cause the flame to change color.

Father, I wish to learn magic, too.

No.

Why?

There are no stories of mages born without magic becoming great successes.

There's no point in you learning.

But I'm thinking of giving you a tutor this year, like your brothers.

Concentrate on your studies.

I understand, Father.

Don't get cocky! Remember, you have no magic!

Well, that didn't work.

I guess I'll start by learning about this world.

The days and months passed, and soon I was 11.

It's done.

In my last life, I defeated and sealed many powerful ayakashi,

then forced them to serve me in battle.

"Sealing" means sending something to another plane.

And "another plane" isn't that different than another world.

So as long as I can prepare the door...

I don't know what will happen, to be honest.

So my first ayakashi will be my least threatening.

On chatorudashu dashu torininavu navu ekamu eruviati sakaru sowaka.

I summon you, Kudagitsune!

Did it work? But something seems different...

Haruyoshi!

Haruyoshi! Haruyoshi!

I'm so happy I get to see you again!

Get off me, damn it!

In my last life, she was a beautiful woman, but...

You're Yuki, right?

Yes, Haruyoshi. It's me, Yuki!

You look younger.

You're right!

Maybe it's due to the state of your spiritual power right now...

Or maybe it's the influence of this world?
