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

Titania, Shredica, and I were on the rooftop, discussing Shredica's request. We sat around a circular stone table, Titania and I on one side, and Shredica on the other.

"So, you wanna join this year's King's Game, huh?" Titania remarked. "But you don't have a participation ticket. That's tough luck. You do realize that by the time those tickets are handed out, the game's already started, right?"

Shredica nodded in understanding. There were only a hundred participation tickets available, distributed randomly to lucky individuals. That marked the start of the King's Game. Anyone who wanted in had to either persuade or coerce ticket holders to hand them over. The game was limited to a hundred participants, but anyone could try to get in.

"I don't think I'll be much help, to be honest. I haven't scored a ticket myself. How about you, Leon?" Titania asked.

"I did," I replied, producing the ticket for her to see.
