Senritsu no Majutsushi to Goteijuu

In a world where status and power are defined by the ability to commune with spirits, those who forge pacts with these ethereal beings reign as the absolute elite. The path to supremacy begins at the prestigious Training School for Spirit Magicians, where the nation's most promising youths gather each spring to hone their gifts. Among this year's incoming class steps Faye Bonnet, the eldest son of the nation's most illustrious noble house. Once hailed as a child prodigy and known by the chilling moniker "Fearsome Wizard," Faye's very existence is a ghost story—for he was supposedly murdered by his own father six years ago. Yet Faye walks among his peers not as the spirit magician he was born to be, but as a "sorcerer," a label of contempt reserved for those who wield lesser magic. At the school that reveres his kind and reviles what he now pretends to be, he guards his resurrection as a carefully kept secret. Concealed beneath his façade is a burning mission: to unearth the dark truth behind the Bonnet family's attempt to erase him from history, and to solve the ancient enigma of the Five Imperial Beasts—legendary entities whose power could reshape the world. As Faye navigates a nest of ambitious rivals and hidden enemies, he must wield his forbidden past as his greatest weapon while ensuring the shadows that once consumed him do not rise again.
