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

Cal isn't unstable, but the Federation's plan to deploy him certainly is. Awakened years ago in a strange new world, he's now been thrust into a precarious covert operation: infiltrate a neighboring nation's prestigious magical academy under false pretenses to prevent an impending catastrophe. Posing as a student with a fabricated identity and family background, Cal must navigate the complex social hierarchies of a noble academy—part high school, part magical university—while secretly investigating a demonic conspiracy that threatens to destroy both the school and its surrounding city. The tension between maintaining his academic cover and uncovering a deadly plot creates constant friction, especially when fellow students prioritize grades over survival. Sent by a military leadership whose judgment seems questionable at best, Cal represents the Federation's dubious solution to a diplomatic request from a nation with a troubled shared history. As he balances classroom obligations with preventing apocalyptic destruction, the absurdity of his situation becomes increasingly apparent.
