Once upon a time there was a girl named Masha. She was raised by her adoptive father, Bagrar. Ever since she could remember, Masha had been troubled by the thought that magic barely came to her, and that she wouldn’t be able to follow in her dad’s footsteps. Until, one day, she found out that it wasn’t her at all—simply, the world around her turned out to be “wrong.”
So instead of the Academy of Military Magic, Maria suddenly finds herself in a gymnasium for noble girls.
