Despite her academic excellence, Tina struggles to cast even a single spell. To complicate matters, entrance exams for the esteemed Royal Academy are looming, and magical skills are essential! Can Allen leverage his unique spellcasting abilities to assist Tina in overcoming her magical limitations, a conundrum that even the best sorcerers in the kingdom have failed to unravel? And does her father, the duke, even want him to?
