It's a great novel and a good read. I don't know why so many people missed it, maybe a change of cover art would help. Also my rating is based on how much I enjoyed it.To summarise the story Luke in previous life is a sort of martial arts practitioner with experience in, well all Asian sort type. Later, he was introduced to MMA by his friend Dave who practices HEMA (Historical European Martial Art) and got hooked with armored battles. Mishap during a spar ended his life & got him reincarnated? Isekaied? to other World, where he is introduced to magic for the first time.There would be some life threatening experience followed by Academy arc.
