About this title

Synopsis

In a world of magic, the powers and future of a mage are predetermined at birth through so-called "Marks"—four symbols that categorize a human's aptitude for magic. Lamenting the fact that his mark was considered ill-suited for combat and only useful for magic augmentation, an incredibly skilled sage decided to reincarnate thousands years in the future. Reborn as Mathias Hildesheimr—a six-year-old boy and the third son of a duke's family—he attains the mark of close combat he always desired. Unfortunately, it is also discovered that mankind's knowledge of magic and swordsmanship has drastically deteriorated in this era; only shoddy magic equipment can be sporadically found, while even the most basic spells have been forgotten. To add insult to injury, his current mark, once hailed as the most powerful, is now viewed as the worst. When Mathias becomes 12 years old, his unrivaled swordsmanship lands him in the Second Royal Academy. Shattering prejudices, he promptly makes ripples in the academy and beyond. However, the former sage uncovers signs of dark forces working in the shadows, and with humanity weaker than ever, it is up to Mathias to thwart their evil plans. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Iris119 fan favorites
External profile
The Black Dragon Iris was an acquaintance of Gaia. Now she is a member of Mathias' party. Iris has a very calm personality, but even so, she acts childish sometimes and even goes overboard when using magic. She doesn't get human tendencies yet, so she doesn't know when to hold back or what emotion to use and if she is doing the right thing or not. She's not that smart, either.

Mathias Hildesheimer55 fan favorites
External profile
The third son in the Hildesheimer barony. Skillfully uses ancient magical techniques that were considered lost. Known as Gaius in his previous life, he was reincarnation to receive the type four emblem, which he believed was the strongest. Despite his advanced age, because of his anti-social lifestyle in his previous life Mathias still acts surprised or embarrassed sometimes. While not entirely emotionless Mathias did claim he only helps out the kingdom because he needs it to grow stronger. (Source: Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja Wiki, edited)

Lurie is the third daughter of her family, and claims that because of that, she's basically close to being a commoner herself. Lurie has a very shy personality, but she has had outbursts of emotion at times whenever it comes to things she likes. She really enjoys enchanting items, finding her niche in item creation under Mathias' tutelage. She also has a very badly hidden crush on Mathias that Alma teases her often about. As the adventure progresses, she becomes more and more assertive and courageous. (Source: Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja Wiki, edited)
