The Magic Scavenger Chooses

Choose. Your own path.

A battlefield scavenger for a mercenary group, the boy Kanata lived a life of scavenging for valuables on the battlefield in order to survive. His only pleasure was picking up the remnants of magic scattered across the battlefield—beautiful pebbles called Magic Dregs (Rubbish). They were clumps of excess magic power generated when a magician activated magic. They simply disappeared as time passed; simply put, they were completely useless garbage. However, in such a harsh environment, these Magic Dregs (Rubbish) were just about the only things Kanata could find beautiful.

One day, amidst the fires of war where a massive reward was promised, the mercenary group was relentlessly and continuously attacked by someone’s magic. It gradually became clear that the attacks were the work of their employer, an aristocratic magician, and it was a betrayal meant to annul their contract. When the mercenary group is forced to stand at the crossroads of malice, what Kanata chooses is――

With resolve and determination in his heart, the boy rises up.
