Keeper of Scarlet Petals Manga, Others

A reluctant Keeper-in-training must protect her biggest rival, even as an emerging threat puts them both in danger. Jasmine has spent less than a year studying at Sanctuary, a college for Keepers and mages, and would rather focus on mastering swordsmanship than take on her other duties. Her assignment makes her responsible for guarding a cocky rival who constantly irritates her. As Jasmine finds herself drawn to him, romantic complications begin to grow—but they are not her greatest concern. A malevolent plot is unfolding around them, and Jasmine and her charge may have only each other to rely on.
