Allen walks into a tutoring job expecting a standard magical prodigy. Instead he finds a girl whose magic simply refuses to work, and watching him figure out why becomes the entire show. The chemistry between them doesn't rely on tsundere games or power fantasy, it's built on him actually listening to her, which sounds simple until you realize how rare that is in this genre. Romance blooms from competence and genuine care, not from forced proximity or misunderstanding.
Allen, a promising young sorcerer, fails the final exam for a post as royal court sorcerer and wants to retreat home to the countryside, but he cannot even pay the train fare. With a former professor's help, he lands a job as private tutor to Tina, daughter of the powerful Duke Howard. Tina is academically brilliant yet cannot cast a single spell, and the Royal Academy entrance exams, which require magical aptitude, are coming soon. Many instructors before him have given up. Using his own unconventional approach to magic, Allen digs into the cause of her inability in a fantasy drama with romance.
