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

Hereon, the student endowed with the Speed Boost skill, had suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Shredica just two months into the academic year. If we were to classify him based on anime cliches, he'd fit the typical bully archetype—a rough exterior matched by a coarse personality, almost resembling a delinquent. However, ever since his defeat at Shredica's hands, he had oddly adopted a more subdued demeanor.

I couldn't help but notice that Hereon seemed to be developing feelings for Shredica. While I had no concrete evidence to support this theory, it was evident that his gaze frequently lingered on her. Perhaps the beatdown he received from Shredica had stirred something within him, leading him to develop an unexpected attraction to her. I couldn't shake the suspicion that he might even have masochistic tendencies.

When I mentioned that Hereon was the one going, Shredica paused for a moment before turning to me. "Can you help me with something?"
