Witch Killer-Living Life As A Tool

A story about what it means to be human. Mana is the essence of the soul and what builds humans up, the energy that gives them life. Those who able to shape their mana and emit them are called witches. Witches are weaponized and forced into brutal academies by the government. Those who make it past are forced to protect the nation from other rogue witches who wish to take down everything. Witches are subjected to a ruthless system of control and exploitation. The story follows Hoshimi Shirogane, a pragmatic and analytical witch, as he navigates a perilous society shaped by intense political maneuvering and the sheer struggle for survival. Sent into harsh training since he was 7, he has been prepared to fight and kill others if necessary. Hoshimi has spent his life being molded into the perfect weapon for a world that sees witches not as living things but as weapons to be used. -If the pacing feels too rushed, wait until Chapter 11 for the first major arc to kick in
