​"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?

Mana is the force that flows through and around every existing object in the universe, regardless of the presence of life. It can be manipulated and used by means of awakening of the “Vi” in a conscious body. The flowing mana in the universe is made up of very small particles which cannot be singularly seen by the naked eye. There are two kinds of mana, the internal and the external mana; whereas the internal mana refers to the amount of mana that a certain medium can hold within its body; while the mana that can be found in the surrounding and is not contained in a medium is called the external mana. Both internal and external mana can be used by a conscious medium with awakened Vi depending on their mastery of skill.
