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

We were observing the two of them, Shredica and Hereon, from a distance, hidden by my Illusion Magic so they wouldn't notice us. Despite the distance, we could still catch snippets of their conversation, thanks to the quiet surroundings.

"It seems like Shreddy's got him hooked, Leon," Titania whispered, poking her head out from behind the bush where we were hiding.

I had to admit, things seemed to be going smoothly. I had anticipated Hereon being more stubborn, but it seemed his infatuation with Shredica was working in our favor. I just hoped Shredica didn't mess things up.

Titania grinned mischievously at me. "You're more cunning than I give you credit for, Leon."

"Why do you say that?" I asked innocently.

"Don't play dumb," she chuckled. "You used Hereon's feelings for Shreddy to rope him in, didn't you?"
