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

The journey out of the Great Forest turned out to be surprisingly smooth, with the Treants no longer obstructing our path or causing us to lose our way. Maybe my defeat of the three Dryad leaders earned me a bit of favor—if that's what it took to get us out without further hassle, then so be it.

Our traveling group had a new addition: Aegis. She still wasn't talking. Maybe she was struggling to accept that she'd be living with me, especially since I'm a guy and I "stole" her Princess. Whatever the reason, she kept her silence as we walked together.

Finally, after what felt like an endless stretch of forest, we emerged into the open air. It didn't take long to find Maya—she was camped out just beyond the forest's edge. Her tent was set up behind her, and she was busy cooking something over a crackling fire.

"Your Majesty..." Aegis's voice was tense as she braced herself for battle, her grip tightening on her spear.
