Previously, Suchen had studied at that academy, but his grades had always been rather mediocre. When he wanted to participate in the elite talent selection tournament, his teachers even advised him to give it up, believing he would not achieve good results and that going would be a waste of time. However, Suchen was not discouraged by this and insisted on participating. Although the teachers felt helpless, they ultimately agreed to his request.
Unexpectedly, in this tournament, Suchen secured an impressive second place, coming in right behind the S-rank Magic Energy User Lika! This surprising outcome shocked everyone, making Suchen a dark horse of the academy.
Lika gracefully gathered Magic Energy Particles, let out a light laugh, and casually waved her hand. A dazzling radiance flashed across her fingertips, and the light-attribute energy instantly condensed into a brilliant light sword. Toying with the light sword in her hand, she looked at Suchen with keen interest. "I heard... you are the dark horse who placed right behind this young lady in the elite talent selection tournament. How is it that I've never heard of you in the academy before?"
