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

As our third day of joint training came to a close, we made our way back to the cabins. Along the path, Titania nudged me with her elbow, her grin stretching from ear to ear.

"You were absolutely fantastic out there."

"Absolutely! You were even faster than yesterday when we sparred. You were holding back your strength, weren't you? You sly dog," she teased, her grin still in place as she jabbed me again with her elbow. "So you were deliberately holding back for my sake, huh? Oh, Leon, I may have underestimated you..."

If that's what she wanted to believe, then so be it. "Anyway, I still couldn't best Zeruel in the end, could I?"
