Plot

The story is set in a world where sixteen-year-olds receive blessings from animal gods that shape their abilities and social roles. Sophia Reeler, a shy noblewoman and count's daughter, unexpectedly receives the blessing of the Gorilla God, regarded as the strongest in combat. Hoping for a quiet school life, Sophia instead draws attention for her rare and overwhelming power and is recruited as an apprentice by the Royal Knights. As she balances her studies, knightly duties, and efforts to conceal her strength, Sophia repeatedly finds herself standing out despite her wishes fit in. Her struggle to reconcile her timid personality with the complications that come with possessing extraordinary power are supported by the talented young knights she meets.
