Almark, Vol. 1 (manga)

Among the grizzled mercenaries of the frozen north, few are as strong as Reiz-a reputation his son, Almark, has not inherited. Casting off his timidity, Almark seeks to become a fighter worthy of his father's recognition. But Reiz wants more for his son, hoping to spare him the cruelties of life in the north. Reiz sends Almark to the South's prestigious Norkh Institute to hone his affinity for magic. Here, in this land that has forgotten war, a boy who has known nothing but conflict will strive to one day return home strong enough to bring prosperity to his homeland and make his father proud.

Summary

In the northern lands where war continues without end, young Almark hopes to be a mercenary like his father one day. Thinking the timid boy ill-suited for such a life, however, his worried father envisions a different future for him—all the way at the Nork Magical Academy in the peaceful south, once he’s old enough to attend. And so, despite Almark’s efforts on and off the battlefield, he eventually sets out for the academy to respect his father’s wishes. But what lies ahead on his journey to becoming a magician?
