Why can’t my embarrassing past just disappear?! “You’re always alone.” From the bottom of her heart, Yuffie Abisus desperately wants to be a saint for one reason only—so no one will ever say those aggravating words to her again. Fortunately for her, she’s been blessed with an extraordinary supply of mana despite being a commoner. Determined to succeed in her mission to become a saint and have everyone fawn over her, she enrolls in the Academy of Magic where she’s sure to free herself from her gloomy life.

A girl who, in spite of the challenges she faces, pushes herself ever onward to achieving her goal of sainthood! (Source: Cross Infinite World)
