Mahoutsukai e no Michi: Udekiki Shishou to Hannin Mae no Ore

Alexis is a gifted honor student at a prestigious magic academy, yet his daily life is fraught with difficulty. Burdened by an intimidating, villainous appearance and a severe phobia of women, he constantly struggles to fit in. To advance to the next grade, academy rules dictate that he must serve as an apprentice to a graduated wizard. However, this requirement presents a massive obstacle: the vast majority of practicing wizards in their world are female. Desperate for a solution, Alexis is introduced to Daniel Bragg, one of the exceedingly rare male wizards in existence. He immediately sets out to meet his prospective mentor, only to be greeted by a stunning black-haired girl instead. Brushing off his shock, she sharply chides him, telling the earnest academy boy that a true magician must learn to see past surface appearances. From that moment forward, Alexis embarks on a grueling apprenticeship under a fearless, daredevil master, setting the stage for a sweeping high fantasy journey driven by the dynamic between an unconventional teacher and her serious, genius student.
