Former Title: A Northern Mercenary's Son Enters a Southern Magic Academy.

Almark, a boy who has lived as a member of a mercenary band in the war-torn northern lands, enrolls in a peaceful southern magic academy, following a promise made to his father.

Life at the academy, which he finally reached after a long journey, was entirely alien to the world he had known until now.

Faced with such a stark contrast, Almark finds himself constantly bewildered.

Yet, through repeated failures and with the help of his friends and teachers, he gradually begins to show glimpses of his talent.

Volumes 1 and 2 of the book version, featuring significantly expanded episodes from the web version, and Volume 3, with substantial new material, are now available from KADOKAWA MF Books! (Volume 4 currently in production!!)

The comic adaptation is available up to Volume 5 (and ongoing!!)
