She has a pretty, sheltered face, but now she has cold eyes.
“They’re all …idiots.”
She is one generation below Owen.
Owen and his generation are said to be the most talented generation ever.
The Golden Generation, as it is commonly called.
Just the standouts like Owen, Berg, Natalie and Farren are amazing, but it’s a generation of high level individuals in general.
Emilia Totem, for example.
Although they are inferior to geniuses like Owen and the others, it is because they were born in the same generation as them.
If she was of the same generation as Shallot and the others, Emilia would have been at the top of her game.
The level of the other students is also high, and it is even said that the B class of the older generation is comparable to the A class of the Shallot generation.
On the contrary, though, that’s how far they say their generation has fallen.
A generation of dropouts who lost all their best talent to the one above them.
That’s the generation of Shallot.
No one will pay any attention to you.
If anything, most of the best teachers are following the older generation.
The teachers who teach Shallot and his friends are …none of them.
In this meritocratic academy, it can’t be helped.
In fact, Shallott’s grade is terrible.
“It’s enough to get me to the top.”
Shallot’s family are not nobles, but a family that makes its living as moneylenders.
In this society, the profession of lending money is regarded as a job for those of low status.
The public perception is that they have no choice but to lend money because they have no other job.
Even with that kind of perception prevalent, though, there are still many noblemen who come to borrow money from the Shallots.
People also know that these nobles are making fools of themselves behind the scenes.
She doesn’t care about those circumstances, but that means Shallot is a commoner.
Although their family is wealthy, Shallot is the only one in the family who can use magic.
The one who is born with a rare gift of magic …is Shallot.
Her parents are sending Shallot to school, saying it’s an upfront investment.
In fact, if she can graduate from Sanzar Academy, she can earn more money than the high tuition alone.
That’s how she got into Sanzar Academy, and Shallot quickly realized that their generation was a bunch of dropouts.
A Class A aristocrat with no ability is just being dignified.
Shallot is willing to put in the effort because she knows how much the effort he is putting in now will be worth in the future.
