Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria Synopsis
To fulfill his childhood promise, the boy aims at the top of the magical world with his sword in hand. There is only one way for him, who has no magical power, to reach the supreme peak…
Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria Story Overview
The hero made a promise as a child, and keeping it means reaching the summit of the magical world.
The problem is that he has no magical power. In a society that measures people by their magic, he has only one path to that supreme peak: the sword in his hand.
That simple premise drives everything. Every test he faces was designed for people who can cast spells, so each step forward has to be earned in a way nobody expects, and his promise keeps him from giving up.
Main Characters and Setting
The lead, Will Serfort, is a determined student at a magic academy who fights with a blade while everyone else casts spells. Classmates, instructors and rivals often doubt him, which makes each victory count. The setting combines academy life with dungeons and monster battles.

Begin at chapter one, which shows his situation at the academy and why so many people doubt him.
