## Plot

As a child, Nanalie Hel was entranced by the receptionist at the magic guild Harre. She admired how the lady handled everything that came her way, sending off heroes as they ventured out. Since then, Nanalie has aspired to become a receptionist herself.

Enrolling in Doran's Royal School of Magic, she aims to be the best. However, the noble Alois Rockmann is always preventing her from being at the top. From simple games like rock-paper-scissors to greater trials like exams, Nanalie has always been second best. The years quickly pass, and though unable to beat Rockmann, Nanalie graduates second in her class with a recommendation letter to Harre.

Beginning her new job is not so easy; the days are hectic and many trials come her way. To make matters worse, even though they chose different careers, she still can't seem to get away from Rockmann!
