📖 Story Overview
The story follows Will Serfort, a young boy who enrolls in a prestigious magic academy with a dream of reaching the top of the magical world.
However, there’s one major problem:
❌ He cannot use magic.
In a society where magic determines status, power, and future, Will is considered weak and inferior. Despite this, he refuses to give up and instead trains his body to extreme limits, mastering sword combat.
His journey focuses on:
- Climbing the ranks without magic
- Competing against powerful mages
