Phantom Troupe in Magic Academy

A seasoned thief and strategist from another world awakens as a magically-gifted infant, marked by an ancient prophecy and a dark curse. Forced to navigate a hidden society of wizards, he must conceal his adult intellect and strange abilities while surviving the watchful eyes of both protectors and predators. Ancient evils seek to claim him, old loyalties resurface, and the line between using darkness and being consumed by it grows ever thinner.

He walks a razor's edge, not as a chosen hero, but as a calculator playing a deadly game where knowledge is power, and every ally could be tomorrow's enemy.
