【Paperback Volume 2 releasing January 28!!!】

「From today, you are no longer my son. Get out.」Igni, born into a noble family aspiring to be "the strongest," was revealed to be able to use only Fireball during the "Rite of Aptitude" on his 12th birthday. Igni, capable of only basic magic, was cast out of his home that very day.

With nowhere to go and no powerful magic to rely on, Igni lived hand-to-mouth. But one day, he experiences a miraculous reunion. 「Well, well? Is that Igni there?」「G-Grandpa!?」It was a reunion with his grandfather, once known as an "Apex," one of the strongest, but who had been exiled from the nobility for his excessive philandering...!「Grandpa! You said strong men are popular, but I can't get strong!!」「Igni, listen closely. Strong men are popular. But men who put in effort are even more popular...!!」「G-Grandpa! I'll give it my all!!!」The family that had banished Igni had no idea... of Igni's burning desire to be "popular"... and the tutelage of the strongest sorcerer, known as an "Apex"...!

「Igni, t-that magic!」「This? A Fireball.」「You can aim for the Apex! Come back!!」「...Nobles aren't exactly popular, are they?」「What are you talking about?」This is the story of a young sorcerer who, driven by his single-minded desire to be "popular," continuously honed his skills, ended up becoming the strongest, and now triumphs while remaining blissfully out of touch.
