Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal.

Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy.

Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be.

The World Is Mine For The Taking

"What's this supposed to mean?" Shredica glared at me, eyes filled with coldness.

"What do you mean, what's this supposed to mean? Can't you see it for yourself?" I gestured towards Titania, currently placing an order at the cashier. "She's going to help us."

"That's why I asked, what exactly is this supposed to mean? Why Titania?" she questioned, skepticism evident. It made sense; Titania didn't exactly scream academic prowess.

But, desperate times called for desperate measures. We had no choice but to rely on her.

"Why her, you ask? Isn't her rank the answer? She's 70th in the gold class. She's gotta have something useful, right? I mean, she wouldn't be in the gold class if she wasn't, well, academically gifted."

"You do realize the school hasn't evaluated us academically, right? How could you know?"
