Somiya Hirokazu wakes up with no memory of who he is, hunted for what he is hiding. His only clue is a seemingly separate facet of his personality and his only allies, outcasts. Thrust into the dangerous world of magic, he will realize the only way to survive is with a weapon of his own.

Its official name is "Nationwide Magic High School Athletics Competition". Every year, a roster of select students from the nine National Magic University Affiliated High Schools from across the country meet, putting theirs and their schools' pride on the line. This is the Nine Schools Competition! (current arc: Nine Schools Competition)

It's not that Ichijou really underestimates Tatsuya's ability to survive the attack - if anything, he would only be mildly surprised if he didn't get out of it with anything more than a a couple broken bones - but the mere thought that he might use his magic to kill someone innocent, someone not deserving of it- That thought makes him as afraid of himself as he was three years ago

A magician, an heir, a prince. Who is Ichijou Masaki? And what is a magician? Everyone faces challenges of their own.
