Synopsis
Will and Elfaria attend a magical academy. While Elfaria excels, Will discovers his unique talent: wielding a sword in a wand-based magical world.
Will and his childhood friend Elfaria enroll at Regarden Magical Academy, each with their own challenges to overcome. Even among the incredible mages at the academy, Elfaria quickly shows her talents and is scouted to join the Tower, the group at the very heart of magical society. Will, on the other hand, considers himself talentless and falls into despair...but in that despair, he draws a blade. In a world of wands run by the Magia Vander, one young boy alone wields a sword!
