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

Where she led us looked like an open balcony, yet not quite. It was surrounded by walls, but these were not typical walls made of conventional materials. Instead, they were crafted from branches. It gave the impression of a room, but the branches didn't quite resemble solid walls, allowing a view outside and creating the feel of an open balcony.

What dispelled my notion of it being a balcony was the presence of a bed. Clearly, this was a bedroom. Perhaps Her Majesty's bedroom, or maybe Artemis's.

"Uh, what's going on with Mother? She seemed really shaken up after you brought up your connection to the name Eclair. Do you know something, Leon?" Artemis inquired with concern.

"Not that I know of," I replied nonchalantly, though puzzled. "I only know the name because it's my sister's last name. I only discovered I still had blood relatives a few months ago, so I'm clueless about any significance the name Eclair might carry."
