I Repeated a Year at the Magic Academy

[I'm revising the whole story while getting back into writing. I will finish it.]

[An outwardly soft but inwardly tough nightmare x an outwardly tough but inwardly soft dragon]

Yumifia is a nightmare.

She goes to school during the day and works at night. Her back-to-back schedule leaves her zoning out in every class.

This is her third time repeating a year, and the school is about to expel her.

As a nightmare with a dream, Yumifia decides to put work on hold, study hard, earn her degree, and become the most educated nightmare in her clan.

Diamond Academy is a symbol of wealth. Every student there is either rich or a promising future success.

The only exception is Yumifia, a repeat student transferred from Spade Academy. She looks poor and unmotivated, so all her classmates ostracize her.

Quinn, the class leader, can't stand Yumifia for slacking off and dragging down the class average.

"How did you get assigned to Diamond Academy?"

Yumifia is terribly nervous. "B-because I donated a few buildings to the academy."

Repeating a year for the third time, Yumifia is determined to hit the books.

Then the students of Diamond Academy see this usually timid, cowardly repeat student lead her class to the top of the rankings and guide Diamond Academy to become the best of the four academies.
