Magic? It doesn't matter if you can't hit me.
About
A century has passed since magic was systematized.
Swords became obsolete weapons, and war shifted to an era dominated by mages.
The Arcadia Empire, the most powerful nation on the continent, established the prestigious Arcadia Imperial Royal Magic Academy to maintain its hegemony. The academy enforces a strict rank and hierarchy system where mana capacity is the absolute standard that determines everything.
Students' abilities are evaluated on a seven-level scale: E, D, C, B, A, S, and SS. The criteria for judgment are based on a comprehensive evaluation including not only mana capacity but also magic control, practical combat ability, tactical insight, and overall academic performance.
SS-Rank: The strongest class in the academy. Irregular existences treated as national military assets. S-Rank: Top-tier elites representing the academy. Future candidates for high-ranking Imperial Army officers. A-Rank: First-class mages. Expected to be assigned to elite or royal guard units after graduation. B-Rank: Excellent mages. The core strength of general units. C-Rank: Standard students with average ability. D-Rank: Lacking basic abilities. Subject to remedial classes and additional training. E-Rank: The lowest evaluation. Mana capacity and combat ability are significantly low; often looked down upon as "failures" within the academy.
In a lower noble family of the Arcadia Empire, there was one youngest child called a "good-for-nothing."
His name was Guest.
While his older brothers were excellent mages, Guest was born with almost no mana and grew up without any expectations from his family.
Nevertheless, by family order, he enrolled in the Arcadia Imperial Royal Magic Academy.
However, what awaited him was hell.
From the first day of enrollment, Guest, with his low mana, was ridiculed as the "shame of the nobility" and "mana-less," becoming a target of daily bullying by classmates and upperclassmen.
Teachers also turned a blind eye under the pretext of meritocracy, and no one helped Guest.
Then one day, the bullying finally crossed the line.
During a practical exercise, he was pushed from a high place disguised as an accident, suffering life-threatening injuries.
Teachers processed it as an "accident during training," and the perpetrators were never punished.
—However, at that moment.
The soul of a man who ended his life as the "World's Strongest Sword Saint" in another world took residence in that body.
Strangely, the Sword Saint's name was also Guest.
The two souls naturally merged, and a new Guest was born, inheriting the sword techniques and combat experience mastered in his previous life, as well as the suffering and resentment the boy had endured.
Upon waking up, Guest realizes he has been reincarnated into a world of magic supremacy.
[ Guest Settings ] In his previous life, Guest was a legendary swordsman hailed as the "World's Strongest," possessing incredible physical techniques that allowed him to cut through magic with peerless swordsmanship, dissipate active magic circles using sword-based skills, and strike before magic incantations could be completed.
