Pyotr Sinelnikov, a former special forces soldier and now a seventeen-year-old guy from the work tribe, after a series of adventures, goes to study at the Academy. This only institution throughout the Empire trains professional magicians, who then serve the Emperor for five years. And they are all officers. Future officers. Ambitious, arrogant, confident in their glorious future... teenagers who really do not like "white crows." How will Peter Sin be met at the Academy? Can he literally survive in these conditions? Will see.
