Wistoria: Wand and Sword

Entrusted with a shared promise from their youth, Will Serfort and his childhood friend Elfaria enroll at the prestigious Regarden Magical Academy, each facing distinct trials within a rigorous academic environment. While the academy is filled with extraordinary young spellcasters, Elfaria rapidly distinguishes herself through her staggering aptitude, earning a coveted selection to join the Tower—the elite council positioned at the very apex of magical society. Left behind by her meteoric rise, Will struggles with his apparent inability to harness magic. Consumed by the agonizing realization of his own perceived limitations, he plunges into a deep despair. Yet, it is precisely within this darkest moment of hopelessness that he makes a fateful decision, reaching not for a staff, but drawing a lethal blade to carve out his own path forward. Within a world utterly dominated by wands and governed absolutely by the formidable Magia Vander, Will stands completely alone as a boy wielding a sword. Penned by the original author, this thrilling narrative serves as a direct prequel to the smash-hit manga series, exploring the origins of a lone swordsman determined to defy the established order.
