By the Reiwa era, delinquents have been completely eliminated even from schools of magic... or so everyone thought. Even the "Black Magic Dormitory", formerly a wild and out of control place where the dark magic ne'er-do-wells gathered, is now on the verge of being demolished due to no new students having been placed into it for ages. The dorm's poor environment, residents receiving scorn and disdain from teachers, and resulting low prospects of employment after graduation made the dorm's popularity sharply drop starting with Gen Z... until this year, when three female students were placed into it! So each one of them makes an oath to themselves that they'll escape from the dorm, no matter what happens to the other two! However, those girls do not yet know the dreadful prophecy, which will affect the entire magical world, that is descending upon them. (Source: Shogakukan, translated)

It is common knowledge that it is best to become an adventurer while you are young. This is because the "magical power" that is the basis of an adventurer's strength can only be developed if the adventurer trains while young. But this newbie adventurer, Rick Gladiator, who only became an adventurer at the age of 30, had the fighting strength of an S-rank adventurer, the highest rank. People thought that the "Mere Old Man" would not make a good adventurer! But in fact, Rick has lived an unimaginable daily life with the members of the legendary "Orichalcone Fist," a party of the continent's most powerful adventurers. From dragons to vampires, Rick has been trained by literally "monster" level masters, and with his fighting skills, he is able to defeat the elite adventurers who underestimate him.
