    Overview

    Will Serfort enters the Rigarden Magical Academy without a single spark of magical ability, relying instead on swordsmanship honed while protecting his childhood friend. In a society where magic dictates social rank, he faces immediate hostility from peers and faculty who view non-mages as mere servants. His goal remains simple yet difficult: reunite with Elfaria Alvis Serfort, who has become one of the Seven Stars, the highest ranking mages in the academy.

    The narrative deconstructs typical fantasy tropes by placing a physically powerful protagonist in a world dominated by spellcasters. Will must navigate political intrigue involving the Celestial Hosts and hidden conspiracies within the school while maintaining his secret. The story balances brutal combat sequences against complex themes of classism and the definition of worth in a rigid hierarchy.
