It's All Because of Magic, You Know

In this world, only a small portion of people have a talent for magic, allowing them to stand above everyone else without such talent.

These people become mages, are admired, and control most of the money and resources.

So this is an extremely unfair magical world. Everyone longs for magical abilities, scrambling and fighting to become powerful mages. Only then will other people respect them.

Everyone wants to become strong, and Du En is no exception. She wants everyone on the Dongli Continent to know her name for her strength alone, regardless of her family or background.

At twelve, Du En was tested and found to have metal-type abilities. But she'd originally taken the test after discovering she could control raindrops, and never expected to end up as a metal-magic student. Once she entered the Academy of Magic, her offensive ability was ridiculously weak. She could only rely on her constant hard work to rank first in theoretical knowledge at the academy.

So what if she was first in theory? She wanted to become the strongest mage on the Dongli Continent! She didn't want to get a job after graduation and spend her days writing for newspapers or publishing a few articles explaining basic magic!

So, on a dark and stormy night, Du En used her title as "top student in the humanities" to sneak into the restricted section of the library.

Think she secretly studied both water and metal magic and rose to the top? NO! Who could have known that the seemingly profound magic circle was actually an old-timer's flirtatious little trick? Damn it!

Every student at Kalinpad knows the young duke, Visili. Besides his noble background, he's also the strongest metal-magic student at the Academy of Magic.

Visili has always looked down on that "top student in the humanities" who studies so hard from dawn to dusk. What's the point of knowing theory? As far as he's concerned, a mage should be a powerful combatant.

Then, who knows when it started, the black-haired girl kept appearing around him out of nowhere. Help! I don't want that bookworm to have a crush on me!

Everyone has flaws, and no one is perfect. That's what makes the world diverse, so I hope you'll be understanding of the protagonist's imperfections. Thank you (???)

☆ This book is extremely, extremely, extremely amateurish, so read with caution.

☆ All male characters who have a romantic storyline with the heroine are virgins (a man's virtue is the best dowry).

☆ To be continued...

Theme: No career is superior or inferior, and there should be no hierarchy between people.
