In an alternate world where magic is used every day for even the most mundane action, being born without powers is a disgrace, and those without powers are considered undesirable and sidelined or expelled from society. Mash, the protagonist, is an orphan without magical powers who is found by a good-hearted elder, who grows him deep in the forest away from everything and everyone to protect him. Mash's main interests are cream puffs and bodybuilding, so much so that he spends his days training, acquiring superhuman strength. But his life and that of his adoptive father are put in danger the day a shady guy discovers their secret and blackmails them: he will only leave them alone if Mash enrolls in the Easton Magical Academy - a very prestigious university where only the the most talented wizards are accepted - and will prove that he can become the new "divine visionary", or the most powerful sorcerer of the year.
