Kazuma's defeat, plus his lack of talent in En-Jutsu, make him an embarrassment to his parents, so he is told to leave the ancestral home.

Kazuma returns as Kazuma Yagami, a skilled master of Fu-Jutsu, the wind art. Not only is he more powerful than his cousin Ayano, but he has also surpassed his father, the number one En-Jutsu artist in the Kannagi family. He is also a Contractor.
