You Called Me Trash? I'm the Five-Elements Genius！

Three hundred years ago, a demon rift tore open the world. Mages saved humanity, then rose as its rulers, while the powerless were pushed into the slums to struggle and die. Kyle, a poor teen, spends every last saved coin on the St. Magic Academy entrance test just to help his sick sister and mother. Targeted by nobles and looked down on by all, he shocks everyone by awakening a never-before-seen five-element S-rank talent—five colors blending into a black light no one can identify. But his half-brother Adrian publicly shames him and plants a trap, and even the principal sides with the gifted prodigy. To stay enrolled, Kyle is forced to kneel in humiliation and receive a one-month suspension. Training in secret, he later strikes an ancient stele and smashes it to pieces, sending a pillar of light through the roof and breaking the strongest record in history.
