Plot summary:
Noir Forge, a boy from a humble background, enters the prestigious Sapphire Magic Academy, a place where elemental prodigies rise to fame and nobility. However, he's immediately looked down upon for possessing Shadow Magic, a rare but stigmatized attribute a support-type magic.
Labelled weak and sidelined by his peers and professors alike, Noir hides a secret: he's not a support mage like the rest. Blending his shadow magic with intense hand-to-hand combat and clever battlefield tactics, Noir develops a fighting style unseen in the academy's history.
Academic Life of a Deranged Mage follows Noir's journey to overturn society's assumptions, shatter the limitations of his so-called support attribute, and rise through the ranks and surpass his mother.
As challenges mount and hidden secrets within the academy begin to stir, Noir's shadow may be the only light that can stand against the coming darkness.
