Written by Tsutomu Satou. Art and cover by Kana Ishida. Translated by Paul Starr.

High school drama and high-powered action in a world where magic is the new science! It's been a century since magic stopped being the stuff of fairy tales and became a practical technology. Siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba have both been admitted to a prestigious magical prep school--and while Miyuki's excellent entrance-exam scores qualify her to be part of Course 1 (a "Bloom"), Tatsuya's poor performance relegates him to Course 2 (a "Weed"). Tatsuya's going to need every bit of clever thinking he can come up with in order to keep both himself and his sister safe in a place where the students are learning to manipulate reality itself!

A would-be hero turns damsel in distress in this hilarious send up of sword and sorcery tropes!

As a cost for saving the young dragon girl Wiene, Bell's name has become synonymous with 'greedy', 'despicable', and 'traitor.' He and his familia have completely lost the trust and respect of everyone residing in Orario. There's no time for him to feel sorry himself when his newfound monstrous friends, the Xenos, need his help to get home. But when the greatest obstacle in their way is Loki Familia, does Bell have what it takes to raise a fist against his beloved idol, the Sword Princess Aiz Wallenstein?
