She gets lousy grades, is not very athletic, and doesn’t really have anything about herself to brag about, so she decides to go a magic school that she saw in a flyer in order to change herself. She has the unusual ability of being able to take any spell and changing it into a washbasin summoning code.
Misa Anehara is one of the most powerful modern-magic users. She is a 25-year-old college student who is majoring in programming. She is been able to make practical use of her abilities as a leading modern magic user.

She has a sweet and laid-back personality but lacks common sense.

She has a staff and a spell book left to her by her great-grandfather, and usually wears white. She was often teased at elementary school and stared at in public because of her doll-like appearance.
Kaho Sakazaki is the class representative of Koyomi’s school, she is quiet and a model student. She is a quick learner, compared to Koyomi, of modern-magic. Although she is fairly skilled, she cannot see daemons, ghostscripts, and jinis because she cannot detect magic.
