Undercover assassin got his new mission. To learn untalented noble girl how to use mana or kill her if she don't show any kind of magic talent.
Well at first glance it might look like clone of Sword Art Online but don't make appearance of main protagonists fool you. So far story actually looks kinda complicated with all nobleman scheming and villains around. I like how is Vanpil's assassin character done. He is very cold and dedicated to his work but also able to play an act to fool people around. So far I do really like him. Melida is strong-willed and determinated even though she has no mana. She works hard but it's not easy when people laugh at her. At least she doesn't feel like spoiled brat or annoying missy and it's easy to like her.
Art is very dynamic and works well with action, it's kinda symplistic and not much detailed but character design is nice. It's not my type because it has that universal look and it's hard to dystinquish it from other similar artist but it's not such a problem. It's nothing unique but neither bad.
So far I'm really interested where the story is going and what's going to happen.
My rating: 7,5/10
I do really like character portrayals and the story background.
Reading value
Definately continuing. It interested me but I'm kinda afraid that it would take some boring, cliché route and spoil everything.
