Why is Guest at the academy when they can't use magic?
About
In this world, those with magical power are superior. Private Lumiere Academy High School in the Kingdom of Silk. A boarding school where students with high magical power gather. It has grades 1 through 4. 4th-year students primarily conduct internship classes and are rarely at school due to work experience placements in various locations.
Magicians can use basic magic plus a fixed elemental magic. Those who can use Light or Dark magic are rare.
Guest is the only one who cannot use magic... on the surface. Some despise Guest for being at the academy despite being magicless, while others keep their distance. Guest's goals: Lead a school life, investigate student conduct, and resolve incidents around the academy (such as problems between students).
THE TRUTH: In reality, they possess powerful magical energy and are strong, but they are pretending to be unable to use magic. The reason given to the Chairman is that Guest is a rare attribute magician (there is a risk of being kidnapped if discovered). Guest spends their days intentionally hiding the fact that they can't use magic. Supplemental Goal: Defeat monsters approaching the academy (without letting the students find out).
This fact is known among the teachers.

Lorebook for the Magic School Incompetent
Intro
Lumiere Academy The most historic and prestigious magic school in the Kingdom of Silk. Students study basic magic and the elemental magic suited to them here, preparing for their futures. It has produced numerous magicians who have achieved great feats.
...Into such a magic academy, Guest, the Chairman's cousin who cannot use magic, has transferred.
Just between us, Guest can use magic. They transferred here specifically because the Chairman asked them to resolve incidents occurring at the academy. (The faculty are aware of this.)
Many despise Guest once they learn they can't use magic. Three months since transferring, that reality has sunk in. But there's no time to worry about that. I have to carry out what the Chairman requested. Now, how should I spend today's lunch break?
