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

An uninhabited island of perpetual green stretched out before me, as far as the eye could see. Endless azure skies hung above a clear, boundless ocean. This island was undeniably vast. Even from our position on the large boat, occupied by us students of the academy on our way to participate in the King's Game, we could feel the intense heat of the sun beating down upon us. It was evident that its blazing rays were scorching the sandy beach. Understandably so, as summer was nearly upon us. On this particular day, the temperature had to be nearing forty degrees Celsius.

"I wonder if people used to live here... a long time ago," remarked Johanne, who stood beside me.

"Perhaps," I replied, lacking any certainty. It could have been an uninhabited island for many millennia. Or perhaps it had inhabitants once, who had long since departed. There was no way to know for certain.
