This is the story of some kid with a mysterious past and a secret identity. He's an over powered mage and does missions for an organization he's part of, and our story starts with him doing really mundane small missions because his master is trying to hide him from... some people. Said master conspires to send this overly talented and fully fledged mage to magic school without MC's consent on the pretext of "make friends with this bullied kid" mission. I get that I'm not supposed to think about it, but I'm betting our MC would actually be bored to tears in class and be hated by most of the professors. However this is one of those stories that's set in a school, but we never see any actual lessons happen. Unless it's gone wrong and an action scene is to take place. I've read quite a few chapters and have absolutely no earthly idea as to what the various "professors" we've been introduced to teach, or how they teach. Also one (1) faculty member is slightly concerned for bullied kid, but they barely do anything except talk to the kid, and the other teachers are shown to give less than two shits despite being aware of the bullying. Idiotic. The kid's from a ducal family, but no, the professors are pretty useless, gotta send some other kid undercover to solve this shit. The story is pretty compelling (somehow), but the art is... well it gets marginally better, but not the way people in other comments are going on about it. The plot and characterizations also reek of "baby writer's first story". Especially the characterization. The way we're introduced to characters by the trope's the confirm to. The start didn't leave a particular good impression as it was using these tropes without knowing why or how to use them. There's the cool woman who's expressionless and for some reason a teacher at the school, but who's got absolutely no business being around kids. She's supposed to be a little like early Kakashi from naruto, or Aizawa of MHA, someone who's too cool to care, but actually does, and at the end of the day, does a really good job caring for the kids. She's got the too cool to care bit down, but seems to care nothing for anyone else except the princess character. There's the beautiful cool smart girl, her distinction is that she doesn't wear glasses despite being the smart girl character. That's the standard of characterization and while I do otherwise like the story, these aspects detract from my enjoyment somewhat. Especially at the beginning. I'm going to drop this as I've come to my limit I guess, but judging by how highly rated this is, there's quite a few people who do like it. Thus, I'd recommend giving this story a try and seeing how you feel about it for yourself. It's trope-y as fuck, but it can also be fun and heartfelt. The comedy's mostly a miss for me, but it might not be so for you. The art... well it may be the actual deal breaker for most people. ^^;; Also this apparently got dropped by the author and I can see why, so this doesn't have an ending.
