A short fairytale cross between Red Riding Hood and Snow White, with a surprisingly dark twist.

The strongest man in the academy is secretly hiding his true power while pretending to be an ordinary student… There is a boy who has devoted his life to making that fantasy a reality. Ichinose Sion, a perfectly average C-rank magic student at Crawford Magic Academy. Four hundred years ago, a legendary hero reached the mythical height known as SSS-rank, and ever since, no one has matched that level of power. Yet rumors have begun to spread that someone at the academy has finally attained it, an overwhelmingly powerful student whose true abilities remain carefully concealed. That student is said to be Ichinose Sion. …Or so the story goes. In truth, Sion is simply a peculiar young boy who thrills at playing the role of a hidden powerhouse. Acting both on and off campus as though he were an SSS-rank elite, he throws himself into the performance with absolute commitment, dramatic poses, cryptic remarks, and mysterious behavior included. But as his eccentric “act” grows more elaborate, the people around him begin to misunderstand his intentions, and his carefully staged delusion slowly starts pulling everyone into its orbit…?! His acting and delusions may be SSS-rank, but his actual magic is only C-rank. Thus begins the wildly mistaken “strongest” heroic tale of one slightly unhinged magic student who is determined to live out his ultimate power fantasy!

The manga centers on a story centered on humans, cats, and *bakeneko*, a kind of supernatural shapeshifting cat in Japanese folk myth. (Source: Anime News Network)

The main character Luke has been an adventurer for fifteen years, but he could only use the skill Repair. Because of that he was known as the eternal E-Rank, third-rate adventurer. One day Luke was hired for cheap by a hero’s party to do odd jobs when he was forced to bear the consequences, caused by the hero's mistake and was left behind in the labyrinth of a difficult-to-clear dungeon. Luke was prepared for death, but his Repair skill evolved during his survival from the brink of death and Luke managed to escape. Now that Luke had returned alive, he decided to stop doing dangerous jobs and turned over a new leaf. Using his evolved Repair skill, Luke opened up a weapon shop for adventurers in a village with a small dungeon. He aimed for a slow life with his second life. His second life, where he lived quietly and comfortably at least, that’s what he thought, when a major incident shaking the entire country appeared before Luke’s eyes?

During the war, people with magical ability were used to power magical tanks by biting on various magic plates. After the war was nominally over, rogue magic tanks still wreak destruction everywhere they go. Little Nina, after spending years being forced to use her magic to power a tank used to fight these rogue tanks, has become homeless and starving. When she attempts to steal food, she runs into a group of girls that are driving their own tank. Rather than hurt her, they take her into their home. The group of girls comprise a private tank squad, called "Rabbits," which fights to defend their town from rampaging rogue tanks. After taking so much abuse in the past, Nina is understandably skeptical of the kindness the "Rabbits" show her, but she soon realizes that they can actually be trusted. Nina becomes the newest member of the Rabbits tank squad, dedicated to using her strength to protect others!

Tsubakiya Hinata, 14 years old. As for me, Onodera Tatsuya – a teacher who just took office. Hinata is a student and an old neighbor to me. Due to her rapid development, she has become more mature than her peers, and because of that, Hinata quickly becomes the center of false rumors. But in truth, Hinata was still much more childish than she looked. In the middle stage between adults and children, a fleeting glint exists only at this moment. For those who didn’t take long to mature, the luminosity was so dim that it was barely noticeable. Then at some point it will flap its wings and fly to new horizons. So at least for now, I want to follow every step of the way while I can. Today, I will continue to face Tsubakiya Hinata. Source: NU
