​"Everything that I am is a gift as well as a curse."

Rumors about an infamous Mage-sprout - Azalea "The Bewitched"- had been circling around the Hunter's Council. Such rumors tend to attract the attention of various organizations. It's easy to tell with the uncanny similarities the men enquiring often possess. These malicious gossips had produced troublesome situations for Azalea's demon hunting job. Most hunters are afraid to team-up with her and some people are reluctant to make a hunting request with her involved.

During her solo hunt in Dimatagpuan Region, four students from the renowned school, AB Academy, appeared before her with an odd offer. This academy's Headmaster had grown a sudden interest in her skills as a Mage and he wants her to enroll as one of his scholars. It is the most unexpected offer which might as well bring the greatest change in her current lifestyle. Is she prepared to leave behind her normal daily life of hunting and fighting, to turn it around into an unusual daily life of socializing and schooling? How will she respond to her new environment as she learns more about who she really is?

“I never thought about what freedom is… until I lost mine. I never doubted a mother’s love until she turned her back away from me.” 


She is eleven years old when her powers awakened. 


A few days after that accident, the life she used to have is changed dramatically. 


The dim shadow of the overgrown fluffy cotton floating on the sky is covering the snowy land of the outskirts of the village. Inside a shabby little house where only a woman in her forties and a little girl reside; several gentle knocks resounds. The woman fretfully opens the poverty-stricken door uncovering two ladies wearing navy blue suits. She takes a step behind. She brushes the side of her messy brown hair while turning her lime-colored eyes away from them.
