In Maburaho, everyone is born with the capacity to wield magic and is hence referred to as a magician. However, not everyone has the same level of magical power. The number of times you can use magic defines your level of respect, and because magical strength is decided at birth by qualities and genetics, people with a lineage descended from legendary magicians are highly sought after. Kazuki Shikimori, who has the lowest magic count at Aoi Academy, is looked down on by his classmates and seen as a practically useless magician. His family, on the other hand, includes numerous famous magicians over the past, implying that while he may not be a great magician, his progeny may be. As a result, he is being pursued.
