The light novel series is set in the same fantasy world as Kobashiri's (Grimoire of Zero) light novel series Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho, now at peace after enduring a conflict between the church and the witches for 500 years. However, the embers of war still burn in some regions of the world. The story centers on Cervil, a hopeless student at the College of Magic of the Kingdom of Wenias. Cervil has somehow lost all memory of his time before attending college. The school principal Albus sends him for special training in the southern part of the continent, where the persecution against witches is strong.
Kobashiri released the novel with the first volume in August 2018. Takashi Iwasaki (Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho manga) provides the art, and Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho illustrator Yoshinori Shizuma has partial credits for the design of the personages. Kodansha published the third volume on May 6 and the fourth volume will be released on November 2.
The novels are the springtime of an ongoing Tatsuwo manga that launched in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in July 2019. Kodansha released the manga's fourth volume on October 7. Kodansha Comics publishes the manga digitally and released the third volume on July 17.
Kobashiri's Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho (Grimoire of Zero) light novels ran for 11 volumes from 2014 to 2017. The series inspired a manga adaptation by Takashi Iwasaki, a separate Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho nano! Yasuoka's manga and a television anime that premiered in Japan in April 2017. Amazon's Anime Strike service streamed the series as it aired.
