Synopsis
In glass-domed Flandore, a noble girl without mana gets a mysterious tutor with hidden complexities to his mission.
In a world where humanity has been driven to near extinction, the remnants of civilization have taken refuge in Flandore—a city-state encased entirely within protective glass domes. Outside these barriers, terrifying lycanthropes roam the darkness, making the domed cities humanity's last sanctuary. Within this confined society, a rigid hierarchy exists between the noble class and commoners, with nobles possessing the rare ability to manipulate mana—mystical energy that grants them superhuman capabilities essential for defending against the lycanthrope threat. At the prestigious academy that trains young nobles in the use of mana, 13-year-old Melida Angel stands out for all the wrong reasons. Despite her noble bloodline, she has yet to manifest any mana abilities, making her the subject of ridicule and scorn among her peers. To address this concerning situation, the Angel family enlists Kufa Vampir, a mysterious and skilled tutor, to personally guide Melida's development. However, Kufa's role as Melida's mentor comes with hidden complexities that extend far beyond simple instruction. As he works closely with the determined young noble, he finds himself drawn into a web of secrets and conflicting loyalties that challenge everything he thought he knew about his mission and the world around them. Together, Melida and Kufa must navigate not only the pressures of academy life and the ever-present threat of lycanthropes, but also the dangerous political machinations that lurk beneath the surface of their seemingly protected society.

On the brink of extinction, mankind has downsized and now solely resides in the city-state of Flandore, living in cities encased by glass domes. Beyond the domes exist vicious lycanthropes who thrive in the darkness; among the citizens inside, a clear distinction between the nobility and commoners is in place. The blood of nobles enables them to utilize mana, granting them abilities that exceed human limits and greatly assist them in defeating lycanthropes. Already 13 years of age, noble Melida Angel has yet to manifest her mana, and attends an elite academy where she is mistreated for her lack thereof. In order to help her, Kufa Vampir is ordered by the Angel family to become Melida's tutor. While Kufa seems to be a mere mentor, an ulterior motive lurks behind his job—he is to assassinate her if he confirms that she does not possess mana. Kufa's investigation eventually leads him to determine he must eliminate Melida. However, Kufa is struck by her unwavering determination, spirit, and belief in herself when he witnesses her in a fight, choosing instead to offer a way she can manifest her magic. As Melida learns to use mana with the help of Kufa's teachings, Kufa forsakes his mission and jeopardizes everything to keep his discovery of Melida unknown to the Angel family and his own guild. However, both Kufa and Melida will soon realize that hiding their secret will not be the only challenge they face, as unforeseen trouble is waiting just around the corner.
