Ashborn: Academy of the Veil

Jack lives quietly in a small village with his mother and his old teacher. One day monsters attack, and his mother is killed. Her last words to him are: "Find your father." With nothing else to go on, Jack sets out for Veilspire, the greatest school of magic in the land. But the entrance exam calls him a "Magic Zero." Everyone laughs — and then a power no one has ever seen awakens inside him.

Ashborn: Academy of the Veil is a 48-episode vertical short drama from Vigloo, built around fantasy and campus.

Watch it for a world with its own rules and a lead who learns to bend them. On top of that: rivalries and first love in a school setting.

The whole series takes roughly 1–2 hours, so it's an easy binge.
