Enen Alderman, the one and only heir of Challes Alderman—class 1C’s homeroom teacher—had a goal in his mind after he enrolled in the Zaforths academy.
He wanted to climb to the top, be the most powerful student this academy had ever produced; gain everyone’s respect and become a hero of sorts. This mindset might sound childish but to him, it wasn’t, and to be honest, it was not his mistake that he was this way.
Right after he’d been born he was treated like a prince even if the Alderman family was only a normal noble family which came barely into the higher class. But despite that, his father Challes raised him like the chosen one.
Enen also only had his father as his parent since his mom had died after giving birth to him. Hence the father-son bond was pretty strong
He was given the best food, his room was the neatest in the whole house, his clothes were the best, his own father was a teacher at the Zaforths academy but even after that he was provided with the best instructor to learn the roots of magic and sword arts—even though Challes had to limit his own needs in order to pay for all this.
He indeed was a professor at the kingdom’s best magic academy but his salary was only too much.
Enen’s father always talked to him like he was the strongest and someone who’ll save the world one day. Due to being raised and treated like this from his birth, his line of thought became similar.
Now not only he thought that he was the all-mighty, he believed in it. After all, all the opponents he’d faced so far were easily defeated because either they were not on his level or were secretly forced to lose by his father.
This went on and he grew up but his mindset of the ‘Chosen One’ lasted only until he joined the academy. In the special exam, it was his first time facing real monsters—who can actually harm him.
He was scared the shit out and somehow passed the exam by sticking with a group of few students who seemed strong to him.
It was pathetic, he knew. What will his father say? How will he face him after licking dust like this? His father believed in him with everything he had but what he gave him in return? Disappointment!

Though this was not the end…his pride hit another major shock when he found out about Leon. They were in the same class and while Enen was not even acknowledged by his friends, Leon was entitled the ‘Strongest first-year student’.
That title was his dream, but someone else snatched it right in front of him. He was on the verge of depression when his father—who, in reality, wasn’t angry with or disappointed with him-—presented another chance before him to fulfill his dream.
It was the interclass training session. His father told him that if he did his best in this training session and threw his opponent to dust by using his full power; he will then at least gain some recognition.
After that, he can his recognition bit by bit until he’s strong enough to challenge Leon to a duel and take the title of ‘The Strongest’ away from him.
It was a perfect plan; slow but reliable.
The day finally arrived and he entered the arena to beat the shit out of his opponent, but he miscalculated a little something.
When the match ended, it was Enen who got his ass handed to him. His opponent—Zero, at the start he seemed like a normal guy with average fighting skills.
However, as the match progressed, this ‘normality’ of his turned rough and the power behind his attacks increased. In the end, Enen wasn’t even able to comprehend the last attack Zero used.
His sword sliced through Enen’s sword and all he was able to do was watch as his blade got divided into two pieces and fell to the ground.
All his future plans—to defeat Leon, shattered into a million pieces that very second the referee announced the end of the match. He was so depressed that till today he hadn’t come out of his room.

Since I defeated Enen in that duel his future plans were put to dust, that’s why I’m here in this dark room—tied to a chair that was fallen onto the ground.
If I hadn’t won there then Enen’s dream to become the strongest might’ve been realized one day. Even if the possibility was slim since he was only B rank—not enough to be what he wanted, but if he trained like his life depended on it then maybe he could’ve achieved his goal.
,m But I came and ruined it. It could sound like I was the villain here—to which honestly, I don’t care, but he was never bound to surpass Leon if I go by the plot of loli_pop’s novel.
This sole goal was to come and get defeated by Zero, giving his father a reason to kidnap Zero so he can kill him; which in the end, will result in Anya getting laid by Leon.
What I did was just repeated the plot all over again since I want to achieve a certain outcome. And by that I don’t mean the Anya thing—I’ve already done the arrangements to prevent it from happening.
Now all that was left was to wait, and wait, and wait, and…wait I guess?

It was up to Anya how quickly she comes here along with Leon and Ellyn. There wasn’t a timing mentioned in the novel so I can’t be sure of this.
And…why the hell did that bastard left me lying here on the ground?!
It isn’t enough to make me scream but since I’m fallen to the ground along with a chair, my hand is crushed below its handle and is being pressed with my own body weight.
Okay, now it’s starting to hurt even more. Ah! Fuck! My hand is numb, it’s numb! It has gone fucking numb!!
