He wakes up 20yrs in the past. - ML is now 20yo. He uses a multiple circulation method that he invented to change the mana flow in his body.

ML asks Zagmachi to watch the duel and see exactly the kind of person Nostra is. - Nostra’s magic circles are unstable. He skipped the basics in his rush to reach his 7th circle.
