“This party doesn’t need an incompetent magician who can only use supportive magic. You’re fired, Alec Huguette.” Suddenly, Alec, a court magician who had joined the crown prince’s party to help him conquer dungeons——was banished from the party. And not just the party, but the crown prince’s harassment has banished him from the royal palace as well, and a friend from the “magic academy” approached Alec, who was at his wit’s end. “——Hey, Alec. Do you want to try to conquer the dungeon with us again?” And so, together with the friends he used to party with, Alec begins his second journey in life. This is the adventure story of a former court magician who had been abandoned. Four years ago, the “Lasting Period,” a party of four that had been called “legendary,” has gradually spread its name around the world.

## My Thoughts on A Court Magician, Who Was Focused On Supportive Magic Because His Allies Were Too Weak, Aims to Become The Strongest After Being Banished Alright, let's dive into "A Court Magician, Who Was Focused On Supportive Magic Because His Allies Were Too Weak, Aims to Become The Strongest After Being Banished" (phew, what a title!). I’ve read a bit of it, and I have some thoughts. ### First Impressions My initial reaction was that this is a pretty classic setup. We've got our underdog MC, unfairly dismissed and underestimated, who's about to prove everyone wrong. The beginning throws you right into the thick of it – the protagonist gets the boot, and we quickly learn about the circumstances that led to his dismissal. ### What Works Well I appreciate the world-building. The story touches on social issues like discrimination against commoners, which adds a layer of depth beyond just magical battles. The guild actually feels like a functional organization, which is a nice touch. I also like the premise of a mage being forced into a support role due to external limitations. It's an interesting twist on the typical power fantasy. The MC's initial struggles feel somewhat realistic, given the restrictions placed upon him. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, here comes the spoiler-y bit. Basically, our MC is a commoner with offensive magic potential, but he's forbidden from using spells that nobles can't access, and he's also restricted from using a sword. This forces him to focus on support magic, where he's not as skilled, leading his team to perceive him as dead weight. They replace him with a noble mage, and that's the catalyst for his journey to become the strongest. ### Final Verdict Overall, I think "A Court Magician, Who Was Focused On Supportive Magic Because His Allies Were Too Weak, Aims to Become The Strongest After Being Banished" has potential. It's a fairly standard revenge/power fantasy setup, but the world-building and the initial limitations placed on the MC add some interesting wrinkles. If you enjoy a good underdog story with a focus on magic and adventure, this might be worth checking out. Just be aware that it's still ongoing, so you'll have to wait for updates.
