His only solution is to get a job, but his one lead is anything but modest—Duke Howard, one of the kingdom's most powerful nobles, needs a private tutor for his daughter Tina.
Even though Tina has impressive academic skills, she can't cast any spells. With the Royal Academy entrance exams coming up soon and magical ability being necessary, how can Allen help Tina overcome her magical inability? This problem has stumped many skilled sorcerers in the kingdom. Does Tina's father, who is the duke, approve of Allen helping?
