During the Age of Catastrophe, five heroes banded together to save the world from a primordial evil. Leo Plove was one of them, and after being reborn, he's excited to revisit the glory of that victory, only to discover his name has been completely erased from the historical record. Determined to figure out why, he enrolls at Lumerne, a military academy built to train heroes, and quickly realizes the erasure wasn't an accident. Someone deliberately buried his role in saving the world, and uncovering why pulls Leo into conspiracies that reach well beyond academy politics, forcing him to navigate classmates and instructors who have no idea who he really is or what he's owed.
The mystery hook is what separates this from a standard reincarnated-hero power fantasy: Leo isn't just proving he's strong, he's actively investigating who erased him and why, which gives the academy arcs a genuine sense of forward momentum instead of just being a training-arc detour before the real plot starts. His underestimated status works well dramatically too, classmates and instructors dismiss him based on incomplete records, and watching him quietly outperform their expectations while piecing together the conspiracy lands better than a typical "secretly overpowered" reveal. The worldbuilding around the Age of Catastrophe and the five original heroes gives the setting real weight, and it's genuinely refreshing that a story with this many female classmates around the lead stays a real ensemble instead of defaulting into harem territory.
The central mystery unfolds gradually, and readers wanting fast answers about why Leo's history was erased will need patience through a fair number of academy-life chapters first. Some of the surrounding cast, particularly rival students and instructors, lean on familiar archetypes rather than getting distinct personalities early on, though several sharpen into more interesting figures as the conspiracy plot pulls them in. And with 77 episodes in and the series still actively serializing weekly, it's an ongoing investment rather than something you can wrap up in an afternoon.
If you want a reincarnation academy story built around a real mystery instead of just a power fantasy, with a lead who earns respect by outperforming low expectations rather than just being secretly the strongest, this is a solidly built entry in a crowded genre.
