The Lord-Magear's Apprentice Vol 3

A SCHOOL FOR SORCERY! Gar is finally about to learn magic from Kuon, but his first training session is fraught with difficulty. Why is he being taught magic to extinguish fire instead of how to wield it as a weapon?! Kuon must then engage in a fierce large-scale magic battle with Kahja, while Gar is left alone and still with no magic…until a new enemy appears and a new life-threatening battle begins!
