Saving the school would have been easier as a cafeteria worker Novel

Cal never asked to be anyone's secret weapon. Reincarnated into a world that still doesn't feel like home, he's spent years trying to piece together a life that makes sense. But when his nation's government comes knocking—desperate to prevent a catastrophe at a prestigious magical academy—he can't refuse. They need someone expendable. Someone dangerous. Someone willing to walk into enemy territory alone.

Thrust into the heart of the Academy, Cal wears borrowed identities and false family ties like armor. By day, he navigates the complicated hierarchy of a hybrid school where nobles cultivate magic and ambition in equal measure. By night, he hunts for answers about a shadowy plot that could reduce both the Academy and the surrounding city to ash. Demons lurk at the edges of his investigation, and time is running out.

His classmates worry about grades and social standing. Cal worries about whether anyone will believe him when the truth emerges. The Academy's greatest threat doesn't wear a uniform—and stopping it might cost him everything he's barely managed to build.
