Plot Concept: One day, Lloyd, a white mage, is banished from the hero’s party. Lloyd, who has lost his job, happens to accompany an S-rank party on a quest by chance. At that time, no one knew that the hero’s party would collapse and Lloyd would gain fame – yet. This is the story of an extraordinary support magic-user who thinks he is normal, and becomes an adventurer, while he is unaware of how he eventually becomes peerless.
