RUISU Nagata

Once, there was a man feared above all as the ultimate hitman. His codename was "Nightshade." A master of a thousand lethal techniques designed to sever the human nervous system, he was a phantom who stripped his targets of their five senses before delivering the killing blow. To the criminal underworld, he was the undisputed "Reaper." But that man is no longer in this world. Choosing to defy his orders to protect a single young girl, he was mercilessly eliminated by his own organization. Seventeen years have passed since his death... and no one could have possibly imagined the truth. The legendary Reaper has been reincarnated and is currently living an ordinary life as a high schooler. Now, it is one teenager up against an army of elite assassins armed with deadly, supernatural "Traits." To rescue the girl who remains imprisoned by his former syndicate, the Reaper is about to wage a one-man war against the largest dark organization on the planet!

Van, feared as the strongest assassin in a world ruled by magicians, earned his title without ever wielding magic. Relying on unmatched combat skill and vast knowledge of sorcery, he fought in the shadows to secure the throne for his best friend—the prince. His true goal was to protect his own persecuted people, the only race born without magic. But at the end of the brutal succession war, Van’s loyalty was betrayed. His closest friend murdered his family and left him for dead. When Van opened his eyes again, he found himself ten years in the past. Granted a second chance, he refuses to walk the same path. This time, his decision is clear: he will rise to the very top of the magic academy—without magic. Thus begins the tale of the world’s greatest assassin, rewriting destiny from the shadows of the classroom.
