To fulfill the promise he made to his childhood friend, Will Serfort enters Regarden Magic Academy with the goal of making it to the top of the magical world. There's just one problem—he doesn't know how to use magic! Will the seemingly ordinary sword in his hand be the key to unlock his true potential?

Kodansha published the manga's ninth compiled book volume on February 8. The manga's "Terminalia Arc" and first part ended in May 2023 and got an epilogue chapter that June.
