How to Make Friends (2)

Of course, the name Seizinger was one I’d heard before. Out of the already exclusive three ducal families, the Seizingers were the closest to the throne, the current Duke Seizinger being the younger brother of the late king. Forget Anju trees or old books—there was no one in the kingdom who didn’t know the name Seizinger just by reputation alone. But the way Al had introduced Leo, it’d sounded like there was something special about Leo himself. Is he famous or something?

“I’m Leo. I hope we’ll get along well.” It was a simple but effective introduction. His voice and steely gaze relayed his confidence and composure. Still, I wished I had a little more information on the guy...

“Remember, don’t get down and prostrate yourself before him, Allen!” Fey whispered in my ear from behind. Then she broke out into a chortle. I kicked my leg backward, knocking her off-balance. Bemusedly, Al jumped back into the conversation to supplement my lacking knowledge—I was beginning to really like the guy.

“Well, I guess you might not have come across him before. Actually, those who scored highest in the mocks across the kingdom while also demonstrating a high magical aptitude level received a summons to Runerelia before the Academy exams, and a luncheon was hosted for us to mingle before the big event. Because of that, most of us in this room have met before or at the very least know one another’s names.”

Right, the mock exam that said I had a ten percent chance of passing the real one...

I had thought it a little odd that Al and Coco were on such good terms with the son of a ducal family—especially to the extent that Al called them “friends”—considering it was highly unlikely there was any common stomping ground among the three of them. But Al’s explanation had unraveled that little mystery.

“And, y’know...I guess it’s a little rude to put it like this, but when we all got here this morning and found out Leo’s All-S score had been thwarted by some ‘Allen’ no one had ever heard of, you became the talk of the town.”

So if Stubble-Face hadn’t given me that S score—probably by mistake—this Leo would have received an S in all three sections? Everyone else seems to think it was a given as well...

“Al, I’ve already said the rankings or an All-S don’t matter to me in the slightest,” Leo warned him, albeit disinterestedly.

I could already see it. Leo was the type of guy who’d become the so-called leader of the class. Within three months, the girls would be calling him something like “the Ice Prince,” or he’d become part of “the Top Three” or “the Stunning Six” or whatever nonsensical name they would assign to the most handsome boys. If I stuck around a guy like this, I’d quickly become a mere love-letter delivery boy.

“Leo—is it all right if I call you that? I just want to be clear here. I’m the third son of a penniless viscount from the middle of nowhere, nothing more.
