Hot-tempered Taiga Kuzumi had failed the entrance exam to Seinagi Private High School. With
little memory of what had actually happened, he sets out to confront the girl who had burst out laughing at him during his interview, sure that she is to blame, only to be mistaken by a teacher for trying to sneak
out instead of
in. Turns out that Seinagi is actually a
Wizarding School, and due to a complicated chain of events ending in said teacher being blown up, now everyone believes him to be an elite magic user—when he can't use magic at all!
Now Taiga has to put his wits to the test in order to keep up that cover, or both he and the teacher will be in very big trouble.

- Badass Normal - Taiga
- Distant Finale - Quite abruptly.
- The Faceless - Tokita Mako's face is either always hidden, or only her mouth and chin is seen. This is part of a joke that her chest is so big that one can tell who she is with just her chest alone.
- Fake Ultimate Hero - Taiga. Everybody thinks he has a Gold Plate and is capable of destroying the Home Ec room with one spell and defeating a teacher. Of course, he can't use magic period and has to bullshit everything.
- Gag Boobs - As stated above, Tokita Mako.
- Hard Work Hardly Works - Averted. Taiga has to bust his ass and wits to keep up the illusion of being a genius wizard, as he has no magical skill at all.
- Laser Guided Amnesia - Taiga's memory of the entrance exam, the Lotus Eater Machine challenge, and what happens to students when the graduate, among other things.
- Lotus Eater Machine - Part of the magic exams requires you to leave a Lotus Eater Machine room within 10 minutes. If you do, you pass that portion but lose your memories of inside the room. If you don't, you keep your memories but fail.
- Pungeon Master - Michiyo Inui does this because Hiragi finds puns uncontrollably hilarious.
- The Reveal - Tokita Mako's face is shown in the final chapter.
- Stable Time Loop - The events surrounding Taiga's entrance exam.
- Too Good To Last - Mx0 got canceled, forcing the mangaka to throw together a rushed, unsatisfactory ending.
- Vancian Magic - how the Black Plates work.
