Will Serfort, a student at Regarden Magical Academy, cannot use magic in a world where magic reigns supreme, earning him the label of "incompetent." Driven by a childhood promise to his friend Elfaria, he aims to become one of the "High Five Mages" at the top of the magical hierarchy. Armed only with a sword, Will dives into the academy’s dungeon to hunt monsters, earning credits to progress. He faces disdain from peers like Julius Reinberg but gains allies, including the talented Colette Loire. Through relentless determination, Will begins to prove his worth in the academy’s competitive magical environment.
