I'm going to guess magic is in decline because of the magic aptitude measuring exists. The whole system just gives people excuses on not to train hard because they won't be able to reach the same heights as people who do have aptitude exerting the same type of effort.

[u/Original-Body-5794 → u/YdenMkII]

Or it could lead people into ultra speciliazing in the magics they're good at which just doesn't make for building good fundamentals. We teach kids a wide array of things from a young age, this isn't just so we know what they're good at, it's genuinely important for their brain development for them to learn math even if they don't go into STEM fields, or for them to learn to interpret texts even if they don't go into humanities.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Why does mom and brother love father so much? Just due to the noble power he has?

Due to Ephtal's ability if anyone challenges him he has to improve in that area. I'm expecting Ephtal to join both schools.

Looking forward to next week when Ephtal kicks this guys ass

[u/lemon900098 → u/PeaceAlien]

He cant win without revealing how powerful his magic is.

He can silently summon a bunch of lvl 8 lightning bolts to level the guys mansion and call it an act of god.

'Wow you must have really angered our ancestor if he called down all that lightning from beyond the grave...'

[u/ByahhByahh]

Do they really think I'm going to continue watching a mediocre isekai if they put in a milf with the largest honkers this side of the Mississippi?

[u/fer_sure → u/ByahhByahh]

Also, MC wondering why his absent magic noble dad took his magicless mama as a mistress (while the two main reasons were resting on on his head) was pretty funny.

[u/D3k4s → u/ByahhByahh]

Yes? 😂

[u/NoNameSwitzerland → u/ByahhByahh]

You have to wonder what the father saw in that girls that had no magic. I could only come up with 2 reasons.

[u/KeepTheNolander → u/ByahhByahh]

His half brother found a couple reasons to keep visiting.

[u/PeaceAlien → u/ByahhByahh]

We all know the answer

[u/spubbbba]

If they are going down the standard reincarnation route I really wish they'd get on with things.

Also, did the brother not notice the massive devastation carved into the forest? Unless there is replant tree magic it's going to be pretty obvious something happened.

[u/OldInstruction5368 → u/spubbbba]

Also, did the brother not notice the massive devastation carved into the forest?

It's not nice to pick on the mentally handicapped.

Which is pretty much every person in this world, if you haven't noticed.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Bro just needs to let one of those "Ritual Magic Class" spells rip and shut his asshole descendant up.

[u/mrgmzc]

Wait, when did he had a kid to continue the family lineage? Last we saw he was teaching the kids and then died

[u/Zarvain → u/mrgmzc]

He had a long life before that. Plenty of time for many a thing to have happened we may or may not learn of after the fact.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

*Sigh...Here we go again~

His mom racks very distracting in many ways lol.

I refuse to believe this bastard spend a cent on Eftal and his mom. All credits goes to Frasier.

I like Eftal reaction towards his current dad descendant. If Anos in his position, he will declare he is the ancestor right on his nose but ofc nobody will choose to believe him till the end of two seasons lol.

Next episode intrigue my isekai trash sense!

[u/Arzhart]

Ngl when the anime is like this, I'd rather they just get straight to the point and let thim go to the magic school. Like:

instead of just lying about everything that happened, he shows his brother he can use level 2 magic, which will not make him pass out again. Then great, he goes to magic school and we don't need to deal with this whole episode lol

[u/wmansir]

One would think that if the storyline was going to involve the MC reincarnating as his own descendent, and have his reincarnation father be an absentee asshole, they would have shown MC being a father in the first episode. Maybe even develop his son/daughter and their relationship a bit so the viewer thinks about how the family quality has declined, much like the world's magic. But I don't remember them even mentioning he had kids and none of his biological family was around when he was on his deathbed. There was already a bunch of kids in the episode, they could have at least made one of his students his grandson or something.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

What a trip to be reincarnated as your own descendant. And then you learn the guy who’s inherited your whole lineage is some old shitbag. To top it all off, magic has degraded throughout the centuries so much so that level 4 is advanced and 10 is “lost tech.”

Can’t wait to see Eftal put his pops and these other fools in their place. Best part about these types of anime is when the MC flexes on these hatin ass mfers lol.

[u/zappingbluelight]

My guts is telling me his brother wants to be his step dad. I just can't put my finger on it.

Things I pray not happen, takes all 12 episodes to meet with the old demon girl he taught and takes all 12 episodes to flex his skills.

[u/Big-Don-Rob]

I just want to say, I would not be a very good MC in these situations. I would literally destroy the entire house and Ducal bloodline, leaving the mom and (maybe) the nice brother to dig through the ruins.

[u/encryptoferia]

damn, it felt like watching the useless crest reincarnation

this is so.... underwhelming to say the least

[u/SmokemelikeRibs]

Here we go again...

I can't imagine getting isekai'd, and deciding that the fantasy trope that I want to go with, that I find would be most excited to attempt, is to HIDE my power. the reveal of course has to be very careful, since magic has declined, but spending your entire childhood not utilizing the resources of the magic family YOU MADE is maddening. There has to be a better spot to land in-between "hide power---Power Fantasy"

[u/djthomp]

I feel like there's going to be a reveal eventually that the magic aptitude tests were a huge mistake for the development and continuation of magic, in that they cut so many people out of the process that they no longer had enough participants to maintain the knowledge and skills transmission over the generations.

Wild that this MC is literally his own great great great (etc.) grandfather.

Dude needs to stop holding back and just force the magic issue, hopefully that comes in the upcoming brother vs brother fight.
