The strongest dragon in the world? …Sigh, looks like it’s my turn to step in” — Just an ordinary case of a second-year middle school syndrome, joining the fray.

Imagine a story where the most powerful beings, who don’t want to stand out, wish for a peaceful life, or have reasons to conceal their true capabilities, secretly save people from significant threats by unleashing their hidden powers now and then.

For example, what if the protagonist of such a story actually had no real power at all?

In front of upper-class students who torment the weak, in the presence of a princess being chased by assassins, and facing the world’s strongest dragon attacking the academy…

What if, in such dire situations, a magic student who only pretends to be concealing his true abilities, who in reality possesses only C-rank strength, appears?

This is the story of a C-rank magic student, who indulges in the illusion of having hidden powers, acting as if he has more strength than he truly does.

I dont usually write these, but this time, I feel like I had to. The title made me curious and so did the synopsis. If he does face crisis and hes genuinely powerless, how does he act like the mysterious saviour?

So I gave it a read and- its bluffing.

The MC is, alongside ... more>>

his entire lineage after him, descent from a legendary strategist who stayed in the shadows even as he united Japan for his lord.

[collapse]

The entire lineage inherited his personality trait and his skills in bluffing, and the MCs bluff is the level of true self delusion. He does genuinely great acts and finds great satisfaction in no one knowing them. Ywt he also wishes to enjoy acting mysterious and strong when he has the opportunity, but never enough for people beyond a select few to ascertain it.

And going up to chapter 37, I have to say, how did this story get 3 stars, what and why? The only real flaw is the incredibly slow starting arc but honestly. Its pretty damn good.

Please give it a read up to ch 37, since that arc convinced me to give it a 5 stars due to all the unexplained bad ratings.. And see if you guys enjoy it or not too. This story seems interesting and ill keep reading. <<less
