Self-proclaimed: A man, an ordinary salaryman, was killed in a car accident. He was later reincarnated in another world as a boy called Josiah. In order to get ahead as an adventurer, he uses magic circles to increase the efficiency of his magical power and earns a lot of experience points. He kept raising his magic level, but he couldn't acquire the only attack magic of light magic, [Holy]... By the time he finally gets it after two years, he is fired not only from his (public) side jobs but also from his main job as an adventurer due to the government's cost reduction policy. After moving to a neighboring country, he began to become an adventurer again while developing a magic circle that sought further efficiency.… but, “This is a new technique!? It's a great discovery!” “Huh? Magic circles are old-fashioned, in this day and age, there’s no way it’ll be acknowledged, fool.” “You're working too hard! Why don't you take a break…” “What's wrong with earning achievements! In this world, results are everything!” “This person is crazy…” he got involved in a number of troubles (?). Moreover, the country Josiah left is in great trouble… Is this a story where Josiah, who has a slightly different sense of values, is trying to live a normal life in another world? Maybe. [7/8] It has been completed in the form of a paragraph. Thank you for your support! The first stage has been completed. Thank you for your support!
(T/N: the last two (or maybe it counts as 4) sentences are from the same sentence, I don’t know which translation to use. Also, the synopsis is really just one packed paragraph. I wonder if I should break it up into several paragraphs.)
1 - Those who cannot use it will be kicked out. Isn't that obvious?
(This is bad.. At this rate…)
I was panicking.
At this rate, I’ll get kicked out of the guild――

I'm what people call a 'reincarnated person'.
In Japan, I was a man in his thirties and a normal salaryman.
On my way to work, I was involved in a road accident and died.
When I woke up, I was reborn as a boy named ‘Josiah’, and the world that Josiah was in was different from the world I used to live in――a different world where magic and monsters actually existed.
I see, so this is the reincarnation in another world that's been all the rage these days.
Born in a rural village tucked away in the mountains, I vowed to my parents that I would study hard, train my body and rise in the world as an adventurer.
When I told them this, my parents were apprehensive as they…
“You can live as you please, you know.” “Don't do the impossible.” “Adventurers are dangerous.” “You can stay in the village.”
Said something like that.
They had the sensibility of a sweet, relaxed generation.
The people in the village are also generally peace-minded idiots and call me an oddball.
If I continue to live in a village like this, I will turn into an idiot.
At the age of fifteen, the ability of my magic and Job hidden in me were released.
My Job is [Magician]
However, the problem is the magic element――mine is [Light].
For some reason, there was a tendency of light and darkness being rare, but it seems to be the same in this different world.
In addition, it's quite rare for a man to have [Light].
Fundamentally, many who have [Light] are women and many who have [Darkness] are men.
…It was really, in a way, hell.
I'm the only man in a school that specializes in light magic. Almost all of the students and teachers are women.
The idiots who get excited about it being a harem have watched too much anime and manga. It's shit when women are in a crowd.
The biggest problem is not the educational environment, it’s that my magical element is light.
The light element is just as I imagined, specializing in recovery and support.
In the reference books, the acquisition of [Holy], which is described as attack magic, is light magic level 10.
It’s doubtful that you could reach this level 10 even if you take 50 years.
I came up with a hypothesis.
The more magic you use, the more experience points you gain resulting in its level rising.
Instead of using magic uselessly, for example, if you succeed in healing correctly with recovery magic [Heal], you will get experience points.
And then, there is the [Magic Circle] that is common in fantasy. If you make use of that, it will accelerate the experience gain.
Magic circle isn't a cool pattern, it's a [Calculation Formula] and [Programming].
The magical power processing that is done inside the body can be done automatically by transcribing it, deploying the magic circle, and putting in magic power.
Combining magic that is said to be difficult, the troublesome process of converting magic essences (particles of magic power) in the air into your own magic power, and building a formula that matches your own magic wavelength to increase the effectiveness of magic, all of them are easy with it.
It's such a convenient magic circle, but the problem is that you have to memorize the magic circle's formula and deploy it correctly.
Furthermore, 200 years ago, a technique called [Magic Circle Breaker] was discovered, changing the era into one where no circle was the mainstream.
Well... I'm good at programming, so using magic circles is easier.
Feelings and things like that are harder to understand.
Of course, there is also a countermeasure against [Magic Circle Breaker]. It's the same as antivirus on computers. Rather, I’d doubt your sanity if you neglect this kind of thing...
We’re getting sidetracked.
Having acquired the cost performance of magic using magic circles, I graduated from the shit school by skipping grades.
I then moved into [A Empire], which is situated in the center of the world.
☆
“Damn it! Why!?”
It's been two years since I entered the empire… and my light magic level stopped at 9.
It didn't take long to reach level 9, but it's been about a year and there's no sign of the level rising.
Moreover, it’s.
I overheard employees speaking from the back of the guild.
“That Josiah, I heard he still can’t get [Holy].”
“We can’t keep letting someone who can't take a quest properly stay.”
Aah, god damn it! I know it already!!
Right now, I still can't conquer the dungeon alone!! I just accompany other parties for chores and temporary support!!
It's strange not to fire such a useless guy!
I’ll be banished!! Banished!!
Quickly, as soon as possible, I have to get [Holy], I have to secure it…

(T/N: relaxed generation: generation of students educated under the "pressure-free" system (from the late 1970s onward). According to the dictionary.
About the elements, the raw said ‘I’m [Light]’, but it sounds strange, so I changed it to ‘Mine is [Light].’ Of course there is a problem being that the translation is inaccurate, but I don’t have any other solution. Also, ‘element’ can also be translated as ‘attribute’, but I prefer ‘element’. Well, that one is a rather trivial info.)
