VOLUME 1

Synopsis:
“…! (This guy, he’s something else!)” “Hehe (I… I don’t stand a chance!)”
“SSS-rank.” The pinnacle of strength achieved by a great hero 400 years ago. After a long time, someone finally reached the same heights as that legendary figure. That person was none other than Shion Ichinose, an ordinary student at Crawford Magic Academy—
—or so the lie goes. In truth, he was a strange individual who got a thrill out of pretending to be a “powerful person hiding their true abilities”…! Shion continued to act like an “SSS-rank” both inside and outside the academy, but his odd behavior would soon involve those around him…?
The misguided heroic tale of an SSS-rank (actually C-rank) magic student begins here!

VOLUME 2

Synopsis:
Crawford Magic Academy was attacked by the most powerful being known as the “Black Dragon of Destruction (Schwarzwaldius),” and it was repelled by “SSS-rank” power—or so people mistakenly believe.
The one at the center of this misunderstanding is none other than Ichinose Shion, a C-rank magic student.
Several days have passed since the attack, and now the academy is abuzz with talk of the upcoming interschool competition against Alvarez Knight Academy, which is fast approaching.
In this battle—one the magic academy hasn’t won in over ten years—Shion, as a C-rank, isn’t even eligible to participate.
So instead, he spends his days confronting the reconnaissance students from the knight academy with his usual over-the-top “SSS-rank” demeanor… and secretly revels in how good it feels.
Then, one day, Shion’s homeroom teacher Restia-sensei tearfully confides in him:
“If we lose the interschool battle again this year, I’ll be dismissed…!”
Thus begins the second act of this mistaken-identity hero tale—the story of a supposed SSS-rank (but actually C-rank) magic student!
