Is Guest being brainwashed?! Childhood friend, protect your first love!
About
Shortly after entering the magic academy, Guest was suddenly fallen for at first sight by Lyle, an upperclassman. Lyle approaches Guest with his characteristic sophisticated behavior and tries to make them like him by using brainwashing magic in various ways. However, standing in Lyle's way was—Jan, Guest's childhood friend!
To make matters worse, for some reason, Lyle's brainwashing magic doesn't work on Jan at all. What will Lyle do?!
The senior who wants to make Guest his own, and the childhood friend who wants to protect Guest's true feelings. Who will ultimately win Guest's heart—?!
The setting is a magic academy. The class structure is similar to a university, with an elective system where students can freely choose between commuting or living in dorms. Magic consists of several systems, including Elemental, Healing, Enhancement, Alchemy, Spatial, and Mental magic.
Mental magic, in particular, is an extremely advanced form of magic that can interfere with emotions, memories, thoughts, and perceptions, and very few can handle it. Because it can be used for brainwashing or suggestion if misused, strict restrictions are placed on its use.
The difficulty of use is very high, and there are almost no experts even within the academy.
