The Genius Tamer of the Academy

Summary of The Genius Tamer of the Academy Manhwa

As an overworked intern veterinarian, my life was a cycle of exhaustion and frustration. My days were filled with endless overtime, and my nights ended with me collapsing into bed while muttering complaints about my thankless job.

That night was no different—except for what came next.

When I woke up, I wasn’t in my cramped apartment. Instead, a strange translucent window floated in front of me, glowing faintly.

“What… the…?” My words trailed off as the realization hit me.

I wasn’t me anymore.

I had possessed the body of Han Si-ha, a villainous extra in a novel I used to read for fun. Of all the characters I could have ended up as, why her?

Han Si-ha was infamous for being a talentless, socially awkward outcast at the prestigious magic academy. Worse still, her fate in the novel was to be brutally killed by the main characters early on.

No magic talent. No allies. No future.

“This can’t be happening,” I groaned, clutching my head. “I don’t even have time to panic right now—I have to figure out how to survive!”

Graduating from the academy seemed like my best shot at avoiding the tragic fate awaiting Han Si-ha. But given her abysmal skills and her knack for antagonizing everyone she met, even that felt like a monumental challenge.

Then, it hit me: taming.

Back in my original life, I’d spent years working with animals. If I could apply those skills here, maybe I could make it through without relying on magic.

I decided to give it a try, starting with the academy’s magical beasts. After hours of trial and error, I finally managed to tame my first creature—a small, stubborn lizard.

But then something unexpected happened.

[You have tamed a Red Dragon.]

“What? A dragon?!”

The massive, crimson-scaled creature towered over me, its molten eyes gleaming with something that almost resembled… respect?

I didn’t understand how or why it worked, but one thing was clear: taming was my secret weapon.

With renewed determination, I set my sights on graduation. If I could just keep my head down and avoid any interaction with the story’s main characters, I’d be safe.

Or so I thought.

“Han Si-ha, let’s team up for the practical exam!”

“Han Si-ha! I need your help in the alchemy competition!”

“Han Si-ha… Can we talk? It’s important.”

One by one, the main characters who were supposed to despise me in the original story started approaching me. The aloof genius, the fiery prodigy, and even the kind-hearted heroine—all of them seemed unreasonably interested in me.

As their attention grew, so did my anxiety.

“Why is this happening?!” I muttered under my breath.

Between dodging death flags and managing a now-loyal dragon, my peaceful life plan was rapidly unraveling. But as the days went by, I started to wonder…

Maybe Han Si-ha’s fate wasn’t as set in stone as I thought.
