Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter

Allen, a bright young sorcerer, wants nothing more than to go back to a modest existence in the country after failing the last exam for his ideal position at the royal court. Regretfully, he is unable to pay for the train fare! Getting a job is his only option, but his one lead is anything but humble—Duke Howard, one of the most influential nobles in the realm, seeks a private tutor for his daughter, Tina. Even though Tina is a brilliant student, she cannot cast a single spell. Even worse, magical aptitude is required for the elite Royal Academy's entrance tests, which are quickly approaching! Can Tina overcome her magical impairment—a riddle that has eluded even the best sorcerers in the kingdom—with Allen's special kind of spellcasting? Does the Duke, her father, even want him to?
