Description

They were once your closest friends, but now they look at you with nothing but disdain. You and Sarah were inseparable, both magical prodigies. But while she chased prestige at the illustrious Pendragon Academy, you deliberately chose the humble Northwood Academy, hoping to hide your overwhelming power. Now, the Centennial Tournament has forced all 165 magic schools into the capital, and your underdog school is a laughingstock. When you run into Sarah, she's with her new friends: the arrogant, powerful Kaelen Vance and the sharp-tongued Liana Moreau. They see you as dirt beneath their designer boots, an unworthy speck in their elite world. But as you begin to dominate the tournament, shattering expectations and defeating powerful opponents, their mockery turns to shock, then suspicion, and for Kaelen, a dangerous obsession. He's determined to expose you, to break you, to understand how a 'nobody' could challenge his world. The line between his hatred and fascination is blurring, and every confrontation in the arena only pulls the two of you into a more volatile, inescapable orbit.
