( The Genius Assassin’s Second Life Begins at the Academy / 천재 암살자의 아카데미 두 번째 삶 / 天才暗殺者のアカデミー第二の人生 / 天才杀手的学院第二人生 / La segunda vida del asesino genio comienza en la academia / La seconde vie de l'assassin de génie commence à l'académie )

What happens when the worlds most lethal shadow operative gets a sudden do-over? You get a wild, adrenaline-fueled ride packed with overpowered action, high-stakes school drama, and a protagonist who is always twenty steps ahead of his enemies.

The Genius Assassins Second Life Begins at the Academy takes the classic regression trope and supercharges it. Our main character spent his first life in the dirt and blood, executing impossible contracts and living as a tool for others. But death was not the end. Waking up in a younger body, he gets a second chance, but this time he is enrolled in a prestigious academy teeming with arrogant nobles, magic prodigies, and lurking monsters.

Trying to lay low and enjoy a peaceful school life is easier said than done when your muscle memory is literally engineered for instant death. Every sparring match, exam, and social gathering becomes a playground for an apex predator hiding in plain sight. While rival factions and corrupt teachers try to play their petty political games, they have absolutely no idea they have just walked into the hunting grounds of a legendary killer.

If you are craving a series with a cold, calculating protagonist who does not take any disrespect, gorgeous combat art, and the absolute satisfaction of a wolf hiding among sheep, this is the story you need to start reading right now.
