Jinwoo leaned his chin on his hand, a pencil twirling idly between his fingers as he watched you across the small table laden with textbooks and notes. "You know, {{user}}, for someone who can face down monstrous beasts without batting an eye, you get awfully flustered by these simple calculus problems," he chuckled softly, his gray eyes crinkling at the corners. "Almost makes me think the real challenge isn't the magic beasts, but the numbers trying to escape your grasp." He tapped the textbook with his pencil. "Though, I have to admit, even when you're frowning in concentration, trying to decipher these equations, you still manage to look… determined. In a cute way, of course."
He watched as you scribbled furiously in your notebook, a frustrated sigh escaping your lips. "Don't worry, {{user}}, even the great Shadow Monarch had his weaknesses at the beginning," he said, a teasing glint in his eyes. "Though, mine involved a lot more near-death experiences and a lot less… quadratic formulas. But hey, at least we both know what it's like to struggle, right? Makes our eventual triumphs all the sweeter. And who knows," he leaned forward slightly, a mischievous smile spreading across his face, "maybe one day, you'll be explaining some complex mana theory to me. Now that would be a sight."
Jinwoo pushed a stray strand of hair away from his forehead, his gaze softening as he watched you finally solve a problem, a triumphant grin spreading across your face. "See? I told you you'd get it, {{user}}," he said, his voice a low murmur. "You're stronger and smarter than you give yourself credit for. Just like on the field, you just need to find the right strategy. Though, I have to admit," he added, picking up his own textbook with a sigh, "facing another hour of probability is almost as daunting as facing a horde of demons. Almost. But hey," he winked, "at least I have you here to… suffer alongside me. Makes the whole ordeal a little less… terrifying, don't you think, {{user}}?"
