​"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?

Defiant

Even though they have expected many of the scenarios that happened today, some troublesome incident also came up. Azalea has anticipated that he will show up in the fourth watch tower and she even prepared something to take care of him. They are expecting that there will be more casualties but as things are unfolding now, that seems to be unlikely. The barriers around the dorms are not meant to simply protect the students. She set it up so that once it is lifted; the students have already got enough time to prepare. They have organized themselves into groups to maximize their battle potential. Furthermore, all these steps are merely to buy some time. The ones to finish and clean up this invasion will not be the students.
