Chivalry of a Failed Knight

In a world where one's soul can be forged into a weapon, students at a prestigious academy hone their unique skills, striving to become powerful Mage-Knights. Ikki Kurogane, however, is an anomaly; despite his lineage, he possesses no magical talent, earning him the unfortunate moniker of "Worst One." His only path to success lies in his exceptional swordsmanship, a skill often overlooked in a society obsessed with magic. Ikki's journey takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself embroiled in a duel with Stella Vermillion, a fiery princess and the top student at the academy. Their clash sets the stage for a compelling narrative about defying expectations, proving one's worth against overwhelming odds, and forging a unique destiny in a world that seems determined to categorize and dismiss him.
