Peppermint Academy, Vol. One

Aseem Kirtley is a fifteen-year-old high school freshman who receives the rank of Peculiar on the Jedwimburgh Arklux (Magical Power) Exam. Due to this, he's abruptly expelled from Jedwimburgh High and immediately enrolled into the Peppermint Academy of Maids and Magic: an all-girl school where young women are instructed in the art of Magicae Ancilla (Maid-Magic).

Unbeknownst to him, his reason for enrollment is only a ruse cooked up by the city council, the Board of Mages and the Royal Family of Jedwimburgh to keep the truth from spreading all over town, which is what they've done for every young man ranked Peculiar going on two centuries.

On his first day at Peppermint, he meets the Student Council President-Julita Redburn-a seventeen-year-old third-year who is often tasked with showing new students around campus. Aware of Aseem's unique case, she takes express interest in him, eventually letting the cat out of the bag about what it really means to be ranked as Peculiar and the truth behind Peppermint Academy.
