Bet on the Orphan

I, an ordinary student of the vocational school of household magic, discovered my elemental gift. Now I am an apprentice at the most prestigious Academy in the kingdom. Here, all the golden youth of the capital study, but the rules... state that the most important thing is the strength of your gift, not your last name or title. In reality, it is not like that at all! Arrogant aristocrats, haughty ladies, and dreadful lords think they can trample on "ordinary" students. But I will prove that they cannot treat me this way. I will become the best apprentice in the cohort. I will not give up, even if troubles come from all directions! But I did not take one thing into account: the Duke of Targ, the best student at the academy, has entirely different plans for me. He made a bet with his friends. A bet on the orphan.
