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.

"Ah, yes. That's Tris. She's my fiancée," Johanne replied.

Huh? I didn't know Johanne had a fiancée.

"Well, our marriage will mostly be for political reasons. But even with that in mind, I think we'll end up falling for each other naturally. She's a genuinely good woman."

He spoke with an air of clarification, as if trying to ease my understanding.

"Though I do feel sorry for her being paired with someone like me," he added.
