Becoming a Wizard, But as a Hapless Version

Amelie's older brother went missing a year ago. To find the second-rate fortune-teller, Amelie sets off on a journey with no return. But as she travels, she begins to suspect that a jinx has taken up residence inside her. Otherwise, how could she run into riots and murder while peacefully enjoying a cup of coffee? How could she fall into three different pits in a single day? How could she wake up to find all her belongings stolen? How could a bout of diarrhea make her miss the entrance exam for the Magic Academy?

But Amelie firmly believes that even a jinx can become a great mage!

(The heroine grows over the course of the story. She's bolder than her peers early on because her brother's guidance exposed her to the world of magic at a young age. Seeing so many wondrous things does make you a little braver. The story's setting is entirely fictional.)
