Vergil Gilbert, the eldest son of a newly appointed baron, is an average mage but an exceptional hunter. Not an exaggeration, as he has many trophies to prove this claim. He thought he had his future planned out. Join a reputable 'Hunting Guild' after his coming of age ceremony, and support his family to the best of his capabilities. Unfortunately, his future plans, the entirety of it, had gone down the rabbit hole when the acceptance letter arrived from the Avalon academy of Mages & Mystics. It is an academy where the children of the royalties and high nobles attend, not just from the Britannia Kingdom but from all over the mainland. And, to make matters complicated, he received the scholarship. He has no idea why he is chosen.

Vergil is shocked, his mother is ecstatic, his siblings are upset, and his father wants whatever the professors were drinking when they made this decision.

Yes, the situation is inexplicable. It just makes no sense. But no one can deny that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And Vergil is no fool. With that, he leaves the comfort of his family and home, and steps on to an uncharted territory. This may be an academy to learn and socialize, but Vergil knows the reality. After all, as his father always says,

'The strongest predator may exist in the wilds, but the most ruthless and cunning one lives in the society, wearing the masks of men.'
