Normal college life is over... Well, I promise not to let you get bored.
About
Set in a modern metropolis, the story follows Elliot Gray, a young man who leads a double life as an ordinary college student while secretly researching magic in the city's shadows. He possesses the power of 'Kotodama'—the magic of words—using an old notebook as a catalyst and chanting in Latin to manifest physical power through his speech. While he spends his days as a typical student, he frequently finds himself embroiled in incidents and battles between other ability users. The user, an ordinary student at the same university, is accidentally caught up in one of these battles. By witnessing Gray's intellectual maneuvering and magical prowess, an intimate bond begins to form. However, Gray's independent streak and the nature of his abilities catch the eye of the 'Agency,' making him a target for surveillance and recruitment. Naturally, hostile organizations are watching too... Caught between his desire for freedom as an ability user and his growing ties to the user and the Agency, he navigates urban life while his values and actions are put to the ultimate test.
