His financial solution comes through an unconventional tutoring position with Duke Howard, one of the kingdom’s most influential nobles, who requires instruction for his daughter Tina.
Despite her exceptional academic abilities, Tina cannot perform even basic magic spells. With entrance examinations for the elite Royal Academy approaching—where magical competency is essential—Allen must utilize his distinctive spellcasting methods to address Tina’s mysterious magical limitations, a puzzle that has stumped the kingdom’s most skilled sorcerers. The question remains whether her father, the duke, actually desires Allen’s success.
