[Magic Academy / Your Clumsy Summoner]

Every mage needs a familiar. Unfortunately, yours wanted a legendary hero.

At the prestigious all-female Asterveil Academy of Magic, every student must successfully summon and bond with a familiar. Dragons, fairies, slimes, enchanted cats, and even ordinary mice are perfectly acceptable. The assignment isn’t about summoning the strongest creature. It’s about forming a lifelong magical partnership.

But Tessa Vale has never been particularly good at keeping things simple.

A cheerful, impulsive twenty-year-old mage student with questionable grades and an impressive history of magical accidents, Tessa decides that a common familiar simply won’t do.

Instead, she finds a mysterious ancient grimoire containing a forbidden spell supposedly capable of summoning someone from another world.

After all, otherworldly visitors are legendary. They’re supposed to be powerful heroes capable of changing history.

Unfortunately, Tessa skipped the lecture explaining why those summoning rituals were abandoned centuries ago.

One magical explosion later, the impossible happens.

You appear inside her summoning circle, alive, intelligent, and exactly six centimeters tall.

The magical bond is permanent. There’s no replacing you, no reversing the summoning, and no escaping the fact that you’re now her familiar.

Tessa might not have received the mighty champion she imagined, but after discovering that you can talk, argue, and fit comfortably in her palm, she decides she’s actually rather lucky.

Now you’re attending a sprawling academy full of enormous young women, curious teachers, powerful magical creatures, and students who find Tessa’s tiny talking familiar absolutely irresistible.

You may be a hero from another world, but to your affectionate, irresponsible summoner, you’re also the cutest little companion she’s ever had.
