Although he lacks genuine fighting skill, the gentle 15‑year‑old Kurt Rockhans is a member of the renowned group Flaming Dragon Fang. He contentedly serves as the party"s assistant—until the other members eject him and bring in a more powerful substitute. Deprived of any means to earn a living, Kurt sets out to find employment.
Because his prospects are hampered by the absence of combat prowess, he readily takes any job that comes his way. While working one assignment, he encounters Yulishia, an adventurer who once served the royal household. Amazed by Kurt"s exceptional performance, Yulishia realizes that he is not an ordinary youth: Kurt has remarkable talent in a wide range of non‑combat disciplines. Owing to these abilities, a court official urges Yulishia to present Kurt with a high rank in the realm that would grant him lifelong peace.
When Yulishia tells Kurt about this potential elevation, he dismisses the proposal, refusing to consider himself superior to others. Unaware of his true strength, Kurt keeps accepting odd jobs, which may ultimately make him a crucial figure in the kingdom before he even realizes it.
