## Synopsis

Will Serfort enrolled at a prestigious magic academy for one reason: a childhood promise to reach the tower where the world's greatest mages sit. The problem is absolute — he has no magic at all. What he has is a sword, years of brutal self-training, and a willingness to descend into the monster-filled labyrinth beneath the academy where even talented casters fear to go. The show's engine is the gap between how his classmates see him (a talentless charity case) and what he actually is (the most dangerous student in the building). When the action hits, the animation goes berserk — this is one of the best-produced fantasy series of its generation.
