Mahoutsukai Reimeiju is a novel series by Kakeru Torahiri, the author of Zero kara Hajimete Mahoutsukai no Sho, set in a world where the church and witches, long at odds for 500 years, have made peace. However, the embers of war still smolder in some parts of the world. The story centers on Cervil, a hopeless student at the magic academy of the Kingdom of Wenias. Cervil has somehow lost all memory of his life before enrolling. Headmaster Albus sends him to a special training program in the southern part of the continent, where the persecution of witchcraft remains widespread.

A manga adaptation by Tatsuwo began serialization in Kodansha's Monthly Shounen Sirius in July 2019. The fourth volume was released on October 7.
