Everyone in Our Village Uses Magic Like This. Don't You?

(Magic, comedy, ensemble cast. Only the first three tags are mine; the rest were added by the platform. The main plot kicks in after a dozen or so chapters, so please be patient, I’m begging you.) Is this how everyone in our village uses magic? A staff? A focus? What are those? I don’t know. Can’t you just cast magic by raising your hand?

Ugh, this guy. Ignore this idiot, everyone. Let’s get on with what we were doing.

Would you like to try my specialty dishes?

Little sister, I can finally save you.

Mmm, not bad.

At last... I’ve found the coordinates of home!

This is the story of a group of geniuses.
