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.

"You really are quite the gentleman," Charlotte said, her eyes narrowing with disdain. "If that was your true persona, I might actually think about dating you. But it's not. You might play the part of a gentleman, but deep down, you're just a scum who takes advantage of others."

I took a long swig of my wine, savoring the smooth taste before meeting her gaze with an amused glint in my eyes. "You really don't hold back, do you? No filters at all," I said, my smile widening. "But don't forget, there are scummier people out there than me. If I were truly the scum you think I am, I wouldn't have let you go in the first place."

"I can't really think of anyone else who's as much of a scum, other than you," she told me.
