Hi-sentoushoku no Madougu Kenkyuuin, Jitsu wa Kikakugai no S-Rank Madoushi ~Kinmu Jikangai ni Mukyuu de Seika wo Agete Kita noni Munou to Iwarete Kubi ni Narimashita~

Werner was a man defined by his craft—a genius magic tool researcher whose tireless dedication and innovative theories made him the backbone of the Empire’s most prestigious institution, the Sage’s Academy. While others struggled to grasp the basics, Werner’s mastery pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible. Yet, his very brilliance became his undoing. When a covetous chancellor, hungry to claim Werner’s work as his own, grew jealous of the prodigy’s acclaim, he concocted a lie and had Werner stripped of his position and cast out from the halls he had helped to elevate. Life at the Academy, however, swiftly crumbled in his absence. Unbeknownst to his peers, Werner’s research was built upon a foundation of theories so advanced and complex that the remaining faculty could barely comprehend the notes he left behind, let alone develop a single new invention. The grand institution stalled, its halls falling silent. But for Werner, this expulsion proved to be a strange liberation. Far from the politics and backbiting of the Academy, his prodigious talent became a beacon, attracting a colorful array of followers, from a maiden dragon to a princess of the realm. Now, armed with the most potent spells and the most revolutionary magic tools ever created, Werner finds peace not in the bustling capital, but in a quiet, comfortable life of unfettered research. Surrounded by a growing circle of eager and unique apprentices, he discovers that true genius thrives not in competition, but in the freedom to explore.
