Chapter 12.1. Another Reincarnator

-???’s POV-

The Japanese Magic Empire. In the upper class, some wizards protect people from demons as nobles. The class society is absolute. Because physical attacks that aren’t accompanied by magic power do not work on monsters of the middle class and above. Humans cannot defeat monsters unless they attack with magical power. Therefore, commoners cannot oppose them. It is a world where it is impossible to overcome the underdog.

In the aristocratic district of the imperial capital. There is a luxurious mansion in a prime location where high-ranking nobles live, a short distance from the imperial castle where the emperor of the empire resides.

It is a luxurious and gorgeous mansion. It is a Western-style building with vast grounds. The garden is spacious with a fountain, and the plants and trees are well-pruned so that even if many guests are invited, there will be enough space for a party. The mansion itself is also full of history.

The house was the residence of one of the best wizards in the capital. It is the residence where the fire-attribute wizard, Aguni Masatoshi lives.

He is a nine-year-old boy with fiery red hair and a face like a beast. His face is second nature, but he has a violent temperament. Even as a boy, his twisted personality is on display, and a good person would be sorry to see him.

The long, shaggy carpets, small chandeliers on the ceiling, sofas, tables, chests of drawers, and furniture are all of the highest quality, and one of them alone is worth several years of a commoner’s annual income.

And the winning outfit is, of course, custom-made from brand-name products. One piece of clothing costs several hundred thousand yen.

“Young master. It is time for us to leave for the dungeon.”

“Oh, I’ll be right there. Get ready. Ah, it’s a fire-sensitive enemy, isn’t it?”

“Yes, young master. I’ve also confirmed that it’s a newly created dungeon with only three floors.”

“Then good.”

Hearing the butler bow, and call out to him, Masatosh, being a young child, replies with a pompous attitude comparable to that of an adult.

“Yes, sir”, I snorted when I saw the butler leaving the room.

“I was in a hurry to make it in time for the summer Comiket, and I died, but I don’t think I got reincarnated in as a mob.”

The man was originally a young man. He slipped and died while climbing a high-speed escalator in a hurry to go to Comiket in the summer.

“I’m a young master. No matter how many times I hear it, it’s itching.”

Inside Masatoshi’s body was not that of a child. It was the soul of a man who died in another world.

“I never thought I could be reborn in The Night of Magic world. It’s great. And I’ve reincarnated as a mob.”

Masatoshi used to be a young man. He was in a hurry to get to the summer Comiket and was climbing a high-speed escalator when he slipped and died.

“That old man should have taken it at least as well as I did. It’s the duty of those standing to the left.”

Masatoshi was running up the escalator and slipped. But in such a case, it is normal for those standing on the left side to catch him. Masatoshi thought so.

Escalators are for climbing. The lazy ones who stand there leisurely and do not climb should at least catch the people who are about to fall. They are getting in the way of people running up the escalator. Since Masatoshi thought so, he felt nothing except irritation toward the old man who fell without catching him. He even hates him.

Masatoshi’s body was in severe pain, and when he died, all he felt was resentment. He had planned to buy a doujinshi of The Night of Magic written by a famous artist for this Comiket. Other than that, he was a freelancer, so there was no problem, especially considering his uncertain future.

“Well, okay. This is [Night of Magic], and I’m a genius flame user who gets beat up. The eldest son and heir of the Dukes of Awakuni.”

He chuckled. He thought he was born as the eldest son of a rich man at first.

In Masatoshi’s previous life, his family was poor, and he could not even go to college. The schoolteachers told me he didn’t have enough academic ability, but he could get into any university if he put enough money on the table. His parents also told him they would not allow him to go to college because he was lazy and skipped school frequently. They should have told me honestly that they were poor.

But now Masatoshi was reincarnated as a rich man. At first, he thought he got reincarnated in another world, a slightly different Japan. But no problem. The important thing is that he is rich. In his previous life, even rich people didn’t have maids and butlers, which even rich people didn’t have, and he could have anything he wanted. he was happy that it was the best.

That was until Masatoshi turned 5. When he turned 5, he was surprised. His father showed me how to use magic. What? He was amazed and realized the meaning of his name.

Masatoshi was a genius flame wizard in The Night of Magic. He is the eldest son of the Dukes of Aguni, renowned as a flame user household. Masatoshi is a genius who was said to rank A in wizardry even without trying. Of course, being a genius flame user and the eldest son of a duke, it’s a template. When he entered the school, he tangled with the protagonist and got beaten up by the hero. The role only enhances the hero’s strength by beating Masatoshi to a pulp. After that, Masatoshi is called a pathetic guy and stripped from his position as the heir apparent of the duke’s family. When Masatoshi occasionally appears, he gets beaten by an enemy organization that invaded the academy. He escapes when he encounters a horde of monsters. He is a mobster who gets beaten up by the enemy.

But Masatoshi knew he would win. The potential for victory in this underdog role is high. The author said in an interview. If he really tried hard, he would have had a power close to that of the main character.

“I was reincarnated as a mob. I am a mob, but a highly capable mob. I am Aguni Katsutoshi-sama.”

Masatoshi was lucky. If he could be like the hero if he worked hard, he should work hard. It was the same development he had often seen in his previous life. If he is reborn as a villain, he should use his potential to surpass the hero. He has money, power, and talent. If he does it right, the hero will be no match for you.

Masatoshi can win in the same way. He just has to work hard. If he does, he won’t be the one to be beaten.
