Sudden death in a hikikomori life, reincarnated in a different world where magical power is considered absolute by the power of the goddess. In one of the countries in the other world, he was born as "Reinhardt", the child of King Jilq and Gizelotte, but because of his extremely low magic power level, he was considered a blemish of the royal family, and was ostensibly stillborn, and was far from secret. abandoned in the forest. When he was abandoned, he was rescued by Gold, who knew the circumstances, and lived as Haruto Zenfis.

His magical power level is said to be low, but the actual magical power level is 1002 because the measuring instrument in the other world only displayed up to two digits. Because the highest magic level in human history is said to be 77, it possesses non-standard magical power. Although he's basically lazy, he has a serious personality that spares no effort to achieve his goals, and he's doing everything he can to live a shut-in life even in a different world. She cherishes the Zenfis family as if they were her own family, and when Gold, Natalia Zenfis, and Charlotte Zenfis are in danger, she secretly eliminates the enemy with her follower Flay.

─ Chronology
Reincarnated in another world
  • A boy who had been withdrawn for five years from the fall of his third year of junior high school because of bullying died suddenly in his room and was told by a goddess that he could be reincarnated in another world. The reincarnation destination is a world where magical power is considered absolute, and while the highest magic level in human history is 77, the boy is given a magical level of 1002 by the goddess. However, in his reincarnated place, the magic level measuring instrument can only measure up to two digits, and the magic level is misunderstood as 2. Furthermore, since the reincarnated destination was the newly born son of the king, he was abandoned in a distant forest as a stain on the royal family, and his existence itself was buried in darkness as a stillborn ostensibly. Abandoned in the forest, the boy is still the same as in his previous life, so although he knows his memories and the surroundings, he can't do anything in his baby state and is alone in the forest. attacked by a wolf monster. The boy who was able to repel it with the only usable barrier magic, named the monster Flay and made it his subordinate, was later saved by Gold Zenfis, a member of the royal family, and lived as Haruto Zenfis.
Target of the Zenfis Family
  • Nine years after being saved by Gold Zenfis, Haruto Zenfis spent a peaceful and peaceful life, and Flay was also hired as a side servant of Gold and supported Haruto as a maid. One day, Haruto learns that Gold and his knights, who were attacking a bandit base in the territory, have withdrawn after suffering devastating damage. Haruto, who had been studying barrier magic for nine years and was looking for a time to stand on his own in order to live a self-indulgent life, thought that he could not leave Gold's enemies alone, so he placed a board in the territory. Start collecting information in the state barrier. Haruto, who destroyed the thieves with Flay, anonymously provided the information obtained from the thieves to Gold, and based on that information, the bandit commotion was put to rest. However, this time, Charlotte Zenfis and Natalia Zenfis, who went to a festival in the territory, were attacked by someone.
Mother and child reunion for the first time in a long time
  • Marianne and Laius, the real children of the king, visit the castle of Gold Zenfis. When Haruto Zenfis is also entertaining the two as Gold's son, he learns that Charlotte Zenfis (Char) was invited by Laius to inspect the next day. In order to ensure safety of Char, Haruto discovers that a suspicious group has created a magic circle while investigating his inspection route with a board barrier. Haruto, who headed to the site, is attacked by a group without question and is also attacked by summoned beasts such as night skeletons and golems that appear from the magic circle. Haruto overwrites the control of the summoned beasts with barrier magic, puts them under his command, destroys the group, and asks for their purpose. When Haruto learns that the group is plotting to assassinate Char and that it was Gizelotte, his creator and queen, who gave the order, he takes Flay to the royal castle to protect the Zenfis family.
Looking for followers
  • Five years have passed since Haruto Zenfis issued a warning to Gizelotte, and Haruto and the others have lived in peace. One day in winter, when his 15th birthday was approaching, Haruto was summoned by Gold Zenfis and told to attend the Royal Granfelt Special Class Magic Academy, an elite school in the royal capital, from spring. Haruto, who was bullied when he went to school in his previous life, strongly refuses to go to school because he finds it unbearable. However, after hearing Marianne's request from King Jilq and hearing Gold's feelings for Haruto, he decides to attend school. However, Haruto had absolutely no intention of attending school at all. I plan to return to my parents' house peacefully. However, since he has to go to school at least once, Haruto tries to decide on a follower to accompany him to school, but Flay is unsuitable as a follower and starts looking for another person. Meanwhile, a report comes in that a dragon injured in a hunt in the empire is approaching Gold territory.

School life that doesn't go as planned

  • Immediately after arriving at the Royal Granfelt Special Class Magic Academy, Haruto Zenfis is forced to sign all the dormitory documents piled up like a mountain, and before the entrance ceremony, he is forced to take a written test and magic power measurement to check his ability. Thinking that if she gets a bad result in the exam, she might be expelled from school before the entrance ceremony, she writes down a random answer. I was invited to join the room. In addition, after entering the school when he was involved in the turmoil between Irisphilia and Schneider-Hafen, he became the center of attention in the academy by repelling Schneider, and Haruto was unable to lead a school life as expected. In addition, he met Marianne and Laius again and became friends with Irisphilia, who had a similar situation, and his friendship expanded.

Abilities[]

"I won't let anyone take away the people I love."

― Haruto Zenfis

Haruto reincarnated as a prince of another world. However, it is judged that the magic level is low, and it is thrown away in the forest! However, the Goddess of Reincarnation gave her a magic level 【1002】 times higher than usual. The fact that only two digits of the crystal for measuring the magic level can be displayed is the reason for failing to measure his ability. The Goddess of Reincarnation gave him the cheat ability "Barrier Magic" without Attribute.

Because of Haruto's magic power, his instinct became sharper, and he was able to instantly identify the best personal course of action in a split second during combat. As being birth into royalty, Haruto's Insignia (The King Crest) has an effect that gives him a boost to all element to the user.

「Barrier Magic」
Barrier Magic-Haruto
In his mind, Barrier magic knows a vague image of “the barrier” in his is a certain area surrounded by a transparent wall that has resistance to physical and magic attacks. And strange things happen to it. Great power is obtained, it explodes and detects that someone has invaded. It's an image like a transparent square box, it is smooth in the air and can be manipulated at Haruto's will. The magic power seems to be consumed a little, but even with magic level 2 (1002), Haruto can operate without burden. The Barrier magic was categorized as a Void element and ancient magic, because of the aspect of it being non-elemental it was never associated with other elements.
  • It disappeared when Haruto thought it would disappear. However, there is no sign of disappearing when it is made and left alone. It only has a physical sensation, but if it is only maintenance, it does not consume any magic power. Barrier magic is a form of magic that creates many forms, and structures, it is a consideration as a phenomenon or ancient magic.
    Barrier Magic-Haruto L
  • A square box can be as small as a needle hole, it can be large enough to fill a room, and it can be smaller or larger also it can multiply. The shape can be anything and it can change colors from Red, to blue, and yellow (Make gradations with multiple colors). It also can create a complex shape border that would cover the strangely shaped vase and the flowers in it with a thin film or anything. It also applies to creating an object from clothes to swords, etc.
    Barrier Magic-Haruto
    Barrier Magic-Haruto L
  • When moving the barrier, the rare phenomenon that the barrier floats in the air occurs. It can be used as a replacement for flight magic, because of the buoyancy effect. By putting or concealing the place with barrier magic it can move freely an object or a part of dirt like it is a replacement for Telekinesis, Gravity magic, or domain fixation, and it can increase the maximum speed. It can also restore or absorb any magic attack by concealing them inside the square box. The barrier magic can be used to conceal (optic camouflage) the user's appearance.
  • The Barrier magic has another purpose, it can monitor and record the view/event outside like a camera/tablet/Plate Barrier (like a size 41-47 inches TV) or neither memory of a certain subject nor a person's memories, even a mini internet. Haruto created it for char (Charlotte) it had trial and error, but Haruto successfully created an Internet that connected to Japan's Network. This method of reflecting the view outside of his area is like a surveillance camera. The Barrier magic of Haruto can be used as a receiver for voice messages or it can act as a telephone by putting it near the ear or putting on the eyes for being able to see clearly/Appraisal or it can act as a camera.
    • There are two types of Appraisal for using the Barrier magic; ① Haruto can appraise only the magic power by using the command "Appraisal", ② By advancing it Haruto is able to see the full context of the user's information by the command "Magic Measurement/Mana Calculation: Revised". Haruto can go beyond in his appraisal, he can see the mana line of a person but it has a cost of him giving a mental pressure and excessive sweating.
    • One of the feats of Barrier magic Haruto is able to stop the time of a certain opponent when it seals inside the barrier giving them stasis, and of another feat of the barrier is able to deflect any form of attack (Magic or Physical). Another feature of Haruto's Barrier is the ability to store items, because of continuous research on his barrier Haruto creates a temporary storage in his barrier that has a subspace because of this it has unlimited capacity..
  • Haruto has studied his 「Barrier Magic」 for over 9 years, he can create a clone of himself by using Barrier magic, the clone itself has no emotion or feelings. But by putting memories as a replacement for a core or soul it can move and follow the order made by Haruto. Because of his study about the origin of his magic, Haruto can create impossible things that may include lost magic. It can also high-jack other magic (magic formula) using the barrier magic.
  • The barrier magic is able to coat a weapon or a part of the body it can add force or strength (Body Strengthening) to every blow Haruto makes, because of this method when it is coated (Self-Reinforcement) in another user it can block the attack, and the scale of the durability of the barrier is measured by the magic power of the user. It can heal wounds or injuries and even reconstruct them by using barrier magic for stitching the cells back, This magic can also us as an offensive attack by creating multiple of them and creating a force to move faster like a bullet.
  • Haruto has a theory about teleportation by using Barrier Magic and his theory work can transport both objects and living beings, but it isn't able to be used in long-distance travel. Because of this, the way of teleportation to another place is far easier for Haruto and it also blends easily because of the suggestion of Char (Chare) that it looks like a normal door.
  • Haruto can create a pseudo-weapon or holy weapon made by Barrier. The weapon itself imbued with pure magic power, and it has a destructive capabilities.

He's done this twice. First Flay thinks he's the Demon King reincarnate, then Char thinks he's a Hero of Justice. Both times he just went along with it.

"The Hero of Justice, has come!! Consider this criminal! If you don't surrender peacefully, i will let you experience something painful!"

― Shiva to the bandits.

A person is active within the territory of Gold Zenfis. He wears a full black cloak and a helmet that covers his entire head. As he exterminated a group of evildoers in his territory, he came to be called the "Black Warrior" before he knew it. Its true identity is Haruto Zenfis, and at first, he was exterminating villains while playing a transforming hero to please Charlotte Zenfis (Char), who was watching a near-future SF battle animation. As he repeats this, he becomes a rumor in the streets, and since it is convenient for Haruto who doesn't want to stand out, he uses it when he acts in secret. The name "Shiva" is an abbreviation of "Schwartz Krieger", the supreme deity who controls destruction and creation, and was named by Char after researching it on the Internet.

  • The hero looks like Zero (Lelouch vi Lamperouge) both from Code Geass anime and manga versions.

As Haruto-C has no magic Haruto gives him a shield barrier and magic pistol. Haruto-C encounters Irisphilia and student vice-president Schneider who tries to bully them both. Haruto-C’s barrier protects him and his pistol injures Schneider. Haruto-C is so stressed Haruto replaces him and is immediately challenged to a duel by Schneider. That night via his security barriers he watches Irisphilia apologise to Schneider who agrees to cancel the duel if she dances naked, so she strips. Exasperated, Haruto saves her as Still Pending and yells at her for being such a naïve airhead. He also places a barrier on Schneider’s bullet wound as punishment, warning it will tighten and cause pain if he uses magic or tries to remove the barrier and will last until he atones for his dishonourable behaviour. Schneider swears revenge on Still Pending.

Luseiannel explains first years must choose either Knight classes to learn combat, or Research classes to invent new spells. Laius and Marianne interrupt as they want Haruto to join their classes. Haruto is grateful when Irisphilia appears, using the excuse to avoid choosing a class. Irisphilia is instinctively aware there are two Haruto’s, as well as Still Pending, causing Haruto to suspect she is a demon. She asks Haruto to be her first friend, explaining she kept being abandoned by foster families so she is terrible at communicating. Haruto is compelled to agree and joins her ancient magic research class, which unfortunately is also Luseiannel’s class. Elsewhere, Flay reminisces on the previous Demon Lord, a kind man who sought peace with humans until Gizelotte killed him. Flay believes he reincarnated as Haruto, when in fact he reincarnated as Irisphilia, whom Haruto nicknames Iris. Char teleports to the academy and is happy Haruto has begun assembling a harem of wives, as long as she marries him too one day. Iris is baffled by Char’s bizarre claims, as well as Haruto letting Char pick his other classes since, according to Char, he has already mastered magic and there is nothing left the academy could possibly teach him. Haruto promises to help Iris work hard, but privately still plans to be expelled.
11 "I Got Myself Mixed Up with So Many People..."
Transcription: "Ironna Hito ni Karamaremashita..." (Japanese: いろんな人に絡まれました…) 		Matsuo Asami Tatsuya Takahashi Masayoshi Nishida September 24, 2023
Haruto begins attending classes in C classroom for average students while Iris attends advanced A classroom. C class is given another exam so Haruto deliberately gets 60%, not realising the “easy questions” were actually quite advanced and 60% is unbelievably high for a C student, so he is promoted to A classroom with Iris and Laius. Professor Belkam discusses the difficulties of accurately measuring magic levels which crystal sensors are only able to give a general estimate of. Haruto makes a thoughtless observation about hidden magic effects crystals can’t sense, a cutting edge theory only anonymous genius Weise Eule has ever proposed before. Belkam becomes convinced Haruto is a genius, maybe even Weise Eule himself, though since Weise Eule is Japanese for White Owl Haruto realises it must be Char. Exhausted, he switches with Haruto-C who attends Luseiannel’s research lab and finds her experimenting on Schneider, determining the barrier Still-Pending placed on him is definitely ancient magic from the mythical era that can only be used by someone level 80 or higher. Luseiannel is intrigued by Still-Pending and in her obsession correctly deduces Haruto-C is Still-Pending. Sensing his shock Haruto appears as Still-Pending to alleviate her suspicions, pretending he is following up on Schneider’s punishment. Luseiannel attempts to capture him to interrogate him on ancient magic, but he escapes and threatens her into stopping looking for him.
12 "Not a Bad Night"
Transcription: "Warukunai Yoru" (Japanese: 悪くない夜) 		Ryō Nakamura Tatsuya Takahashi Takashi Naoya October 1, 2023
Luseiannel throws a welcome party at her mansion at which Iris becomes drunk and passes out in Haruto-C’s lap. Luseiannel reveals Iris is studying ancient magic because she possesses all 6 magic elements. Unfortunately her magic level is only 05 so she hopes ancient magic might increase it. Schneider, having plotted with the Lucifyra church to marry his father to Gizelotte and become the new prince and heir to the throne, fears Still-Pending ruining those plans and sends assassins to kill Haruto-C, Iris and Luseiannel. Haruto overhears Schneider through a CCTV barrier, captures the assassins and interrogates them. He visits Schneider to punish him further, but Schneider injects himself with a potion, turning into a giant monster. With Char’s advice, Haruto turns Schneider back to normal without killing him, albeit mentally disturbed. Haruto visits Haruto-C and they realize Haruto-C is getting used to being around people and is actually starting to enjoy it. Char shares CCTV footage of Haruto’s fight with her Round Table as certain proof of a secret evil council targeting Haruto. Renaming themselves the Camelot Kingdom, Char decides to infiltrate the academy to find the council members. Watching Char’s antics Haruto can’t deny there is some sort of group Schneider was involved with, so he lets Char do as she likes, but keeps a secret watch on her in case she gets herself in danger.
