Character
"The name's Kousuke Takioto! The guy who's gonna become the strongest at Tsukuyomi Magic Academy!"

- Kousuke to Iori There's a legendary Bishoujo Game that has become popular among Japanese gentlemen. Its name is "Magical☆Explorer" or MagiEro for short. The game's protagonist has a cheat-like power with 12 different beautiful heroines to flirt with, including additional 12 heroines from the DLC, a harem of 24 beauties. I have become that protagonist! Not. Instead, I have become the third-wheel character who always laughing like an idiot next to him. There's no heroine that would lay their eyes on me.

But now I couldn't care less about the protagonist and his heroines. Why? Because I discovered magic. While I was using it, I have become interested in it. I want to master it. I want to become the strongest. Thus I have decided. I would abandon half my role as a protagonist's friend to train my magic and then I would beat the hell out of that cheat who can solo the Demon King.

I was training with that thought in mind, but somehow I keep getting closer to the heroines and furthermore, I don't know why I keep encountering events like I am some Eroge's protagonist.

Abilities
According to game setting, Kousuke has limitless stamina. If it's for three miles, he wouldn't wasn’t fatigued at all, which he assumed was an effect of the enhance magic. At this rate, he could run ten times that distance without issue. Thus he trained himself according to fulfil his weakness and became stronger. Kousuke has a sole defensive and offensive weapon which can deals high damage. According to the game setting, Kousuke has greatest amount of mana of all characters. With his vast reserve of mana, it would be easy to assume Kousuke Takioto can wantonly fire off magic nonstop from a distance. His mana pool is vital to his success in combat. The game handicaps him by tying any of the actions he can take to burning mana. He consumes mana even when he isn’t using magic to attack. In this way, his design is unique because he has more mana than anyone else yet still finds that amount insufficient.
