Helga does magic, or rather, what is more accurately called "heartcraft" since, unlike the fae, humans cannot use what is strictly considered as magic. Starting this fall, she'll be a boarding student in a neighbouring country and she has a special ability that will make her life at the Heartcraft Academy easier. This ability allows her to borrow the talents of the deceased, making her stand out amongst her peers. After a life of unsuccessful attempts at making friends and relating to others, suddenly, she's the center of attention. Everyone is friendly and kind, but more than that, Helga feels seen and respected. However, another boy stands out from the crowd. Wilhelm has no past experience with heartcraftsmanship and has no control over his mana, more than that, he thinks that Helga is a fraud because of her ability and believes that her works are acts of plagiarism. High on her new confidence and power, Helga can't help but pick on him.
