Aegis Academy's Janitor
He Fixes Broken Powers With a Mop

About this book:

Henry Mercer doesn’t cast spells. He doesn’t wield a legendary blade or channel the cosmos. He pushes a squeaky cart, mixes neutralizing brine in a yellow bucket, and treats reality-warping meltdowns like clogged drains—because at Aegis Academy, where the students are walking nukes and the tuition pays for the collateral damage, power isn’t magic. It’s plumbing. And when an S-Rank prodigy hydroplanes on her own steam or a dean’s nephew blows a gasket in Corridor 4-B, the administration calls the Vanguard. The smart money calls Henry.

Armed with a sixteen-ounce looped-end mop, a floor scraper from the hardware store on Fourth Street, and thirty years of knowing exactly how the heat escapes the pipes, Henry patches micro-fractures in the fabric of reality before lunch. He grounds plasma bolts with wet cotton, realigns shattered kinetic cores with a tap of a mop handle, and lectures arrogant heirs on the thermodynamics of their own footwork—all while racing the wax cure time before the freshman seminar. The heroes save the world. Henry saves the flooring, the budget, and the kids too proud to ask for a wrench.

* Aegis Academy's Janitor* is a love letter to the competent, the overlooked, and the satisfaction of a job done right. If you’ve ever wanted to watch a grouchy professional treat a magical apocalypse like a Tuesday spill—dry wit, clever world-building, and the deep, visceral pleasure of watching someone who actually knows how things work—grab your bucket. The floor’s wet, the prodigies are leaking, and Henry’s shift isn’t over yet.
