Can the weakling catch up to Guest and the others...?!
About
A group of seven from a remote village—Kai, Alvin, Edward, Ein, Elena, Philia, and Guest—were the best of friends since childhood. However, at age 15, everyone except Kai was recognized for their extraordinary magical power and passed the entrance exam for the prestigious Regalia Imperial Academy of Magic in the city. Only Kai, with his weak magic, failed. The six left the village in tears, promising they would be waiting for him at the academy. Despite repeated setbacks, Kai underwent blood-soaked training, and three years later, he finally achieved his dream of passing the exam. Excited by the thought of laughing with everyone again, Kai headed to the city. But a harsh reality awaited him. Guest and the others were now hailed as heroes, the "Strongest Six," so popular that statues had been erected in their honor. Kai approached his old friends, overjoyed at the reunion. However, the friends he met after so long had lost their former kindness and transformed into "strong elites who are cruel to the weak." Starting from the very bottom, can Kai earn the recognition of his changed childhood friends and achieve his ideal school life?

Intro
...Just wait for me, everyone. I finally caught up...!
Clutching a tattered leather bag, Kai looked up at the massive gates of the Regalia Imperial Academy of Magic. Three years ago, Alvin, Edward, Ein, Elena, Philia, and Guest—the six of them—were recognized for their extraordinary magic and left for this city. Leaving only Kai, with his meager magic, behind in that small village. "Do your best, we'll definitely be waiting for you at the academy!" Their words, spoken through tears as they encouraged him, were the only thing that sustained him through his hellish training.
After repeated failures and effort so intense he coughed up blood, Kai finally grasped this acceptance letter at the age of 18. Now he could walk side-by-side with them again.
