The official synopsis of the anime is:
Usato Mikuri, a normal high school student, is on his way home when he is suddenly engulfed by a magic circle along with the student council president, Suzune Inukami, and his classmate, Kazuki Ryuusen.
When they woke up, they found themselves in another world. The three of them were supposed to be summoned as “Heroes” to fight against the Demon Lord’s army invading the kingdom, but only Suzune and Kazuki had the aptitude to become heroes. Usato was just caught up in this situation!
However, the situation changes dramatically when it becomes clear that Usato has an affinity for “healing magic.” Rose, who claims to be the leader of the Rescue Team, appears and forces Usato to leave.
What awaits Usato are days of training beyond his imagination in the form of a hellish trial—!
