Jisvo got up from his seat, trudging toward the front of the room with his hands in his pockets.
"My name... is Jisvo. No important lineage like you snotty brats. I got into here through a recommendation. Please welcome me nicely."

"1... 150 meters!"
Despite the cheering, her face was composed and nonchalant, as she turned around to walk off.
"That's the princess of the Mahaut family!" cheers roared. She had become this sort of famous entity in the school.
It left a lasting impression on everyone. Including Ailmer and Jisvo.
"She's... beautiful..."
"She's... strong..."
