Most mages get a cool weapon when they Awaken. Jasper got a cloak, a dagger, and a death sentence.

Jasper Onosato—orphan, fighter, nobody—violated the most sacred law in the land. An act of the highest treason, worse than trying to kill the King, worse than burning the Sacred Archives.

Jasper went outside the Grand Wall to save his friend's life.

Now facing the consequences of his bravery, an unprepared Jasper must successfully graduate from the most demanding magic academy or face the hangman's noose. The problem is that Jasper's new class is… peculiar. Shields and counterspells aren't typical, and he is falling behind. His quest to keep up leads Jasper to a horrifying realization:

Jasper's class isn't for hunting monsters. It's for hunting mages.

But why would the System create something so heretical? Mages are the saviors of humanity… right?
