Assassin's Pride

In a world where humanity huddles within isolated city-states, protected by the magically gifted aristocracy, young Merida Angel finds herself in a precarious position. Despite her noble lineage, she displays no aptitude for mana, casting a shadow over her family's prestigious name and the very safety of her community. Her grandfather, desperate to uncover the truth of her abilities—or lack thereof—hires a tutor with a hidden agenda. Enter Kufa Vampir, a seemingly dedicated instructor with a chilling secret: should Merida prove truly incapable of wielding mana, his true mission is to assassinate her. As Kufa begins to unravel the mystery of Merida's dormant potential, a complex and dangerous bond forms between them, forcing both to confront the prejudices of their society and the true meaning of their roles.
