​"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?

Twenty-fourth day of Sat’xahr, Tnej’xien 4044 AOT 


Fourth Watch Tower, Asylum’s clubroom 


Without any notice, Headmaster Oryx Dimasalang is visiting and checking on his beloved students, as he refers to them. The whole room is now neatly arranged. The shabby looking tables which appeared as though they would break if you put a little pressure on top of them are fixed and painted over again. Most of the unneeded ones are stocked in the second floor. The chairs around where the members of Asylum sit homely are repaired and now look like they are newly bought. A homely couch is placed by the window. At the further back, they have arranged an area which resembles a kitchen, only that there are no stoves. It also seems that they have cleaned up the only toilet in that watch tower enough to be usable and orderly.
