The Irregular at Magic High School, pretending to be a weak student

The series is set in a world with an alternate history, where magic exists and has been polished through modern technology. However, the ability to use magic is determined by genetics, limiting the number of wizards that exist. After the Third World War, the world's superpowers shifted to four countries: the United States (US), New Soviet Union, Great Asia Alliance, and Japan. In Japan, the informal magic society is governed by the ten major clans in lieu of the government. Due to the limited number of magicians, they are treated as a commodity and forced to enter magic related schools and professions. Nine magic high schools exist in Japan; they each specialize in different aspects of magic and are only referred to by their number.
