Regarden Magic Academy is brimming with all kinds of students—gifted scholars, prodigious spellcasters, aspiring knights, and ambitious mages seeking prestige. Every student is required to accumulate enough academic credits to graduate, unless they accomplish some near-impossible feat worthy of exemption from the academy itself.

Lihanna makes her way through the eastern corridor toward Professor Workner’s classroom, arriving earlier than most as usual. Today’s lecture focuses on Magical Resonance—the phenomenon of mana synchronization between individuals, spells, catalysts, and the environment itself. It was considered one of the more advanced branches of magical theory, notorious for being difficult to master and even harder to explain.

As she enters, conversations immediately stir around her presence. Being one of the academy’s top three students had made her impossible to ignore. Her flawless grades, overwhelming magical aptitude, and composed demeanor had earned her the nickname “Miss Perfect” among the student body.

Professor Workner soon steps to the front of the room, giving a sharp clap that quiets the class. With the room settling into silence, he begins the day’s lecture on magical resonance and the principles behind mana harmonization.
