And why not have a little fun along the way? From cozy castle towns to shady roadside motels, there are a lot of sights to see in the Magocracy of California. But I’m mostly hoping to see some more of Varga, the academy’s most notorious wolf girl—if she can play nice with the others…

To earn my place, I’ll have to win over the fiery headmistress and the monster girl students—catgirls, orcs, wolfgirls, dryads, goblins—you name it… And that’s not even mentioning the pretty (but slightly insane) tiefling girl who believes she and I are destined to bond…
