Alus Reigin spent ten years on the front lines of a war to defend humanity from demons. His only wish after spending a decade risking it all is a quiet retirement from military service. The Governor General has another idea: go to school and perform magic research. We’ll see how he performs in school as the strongest mage when The Greatest Magicmaster’s Retirement Plan (Saikyo Mahoshi no Inton Keikaku) premieres sometime in 2027.

The Greatest Magicmaster’s Retirement Plan Goes Back to School
Vicious demons appeared more than a century ago and pushed humanity to the brink of collapse. Only seven kingdoms remain, with one safely hidden behind Babel’s Wall. The human kingdoms foster magical growth to raise soldiers who can fight back against the demons. Digits rank these magicians, judging their power, skill, and their accomplishments on the battlefield. One of the nine single-digit mages has decided to retire in peace.
Alus Reigin’s rank is number one in the world, and he has served his ten years on the front lines expanding humanity’s territory. From age six to sixteen, he has given it all for king and country. However, the Governor General can’t simply let their most powerful mage walk away. To better foster Alus’ goodwill and manipulate him into serving the kingdom of his own volition, the Governor General forces Alus to go to a magic academy and train two cute female students.
