Evil magical creatures, non-human and human are out to get magic users and devour them for their mana, the school gives them the necessary knowledge and practice to survive in the world. Only 50% of the students starting survive their graduation, so everybody has to try their best to get into alliances with others to be among the survivors. The protagonist, Galadriel, starts out in likely the worst possible situation, as her « affinity » is to become a supremely dangerous evil sorceress, and while she does not want to go down that path, most others believe she will.(less)
