    Why It Should Get Picked Up: This novel is a funny and interesting take on the classic fantasy trope of 'OP MC gets looked down on'. Rhys, while only able to use defensive magic, is an extremely powerful character who, through hard work and creativity, has become ridiculously strong, so much so that his best friend, an isekai'd cheat wielder who can use all four elements, has never been able to win against him. The banter between the characters is quite funny and the cast are all rather interesting in their own right.

    Description: Two childhood friends born in a remote village. One of the boys, Alfi, was good at everything, and grew up as a genius (+handsome) with four attributes of magic, and entered the elite magic school as a scholarship student. On the other hand, the other boy, Reese, was a seemingly mediocre and naughty boy who could only use defensive magic for beginners, but in fact he was discovered by a rare Sage and had been educated as a gifted child since he was a child! And Reese enrolls in the elite magic school with one extremely defensive magic, brilliantly destroying the common sense of childhood friends, teachers and students! An uncaring and selfish commoner pushes the aristocrats away and runs up the school caste at explosive speed!
