Spica Virgo dreams of joining the prestigious Royal Diana Academy, a magical institution that accepts only individuals with adept magical abilities. However, there’s one problem: Spica can’t use magic at all. With no mentor or connections, her chances of earning a place seem slim. Her life changes when a mysterious talking black cat appears before her. This feline is actually Claude, a powerful mage cursed into cat form who wields magic and speaks human language. Their goals align perfectly: Spica wants to master sorcery to enter the academy, and the black cat longs to break the curse binding him. They form a secret master-apprentice relationship, with Claude teaching Spica magic in exchange for her help finding a way to restore his human form. As Spica steps into a world of magic, mystery, and unexpected surprises, she must navigate magical academies, rival witches, and the challenges of learning sorcery from a cursed cat teacher.
