In the hallowed halls of the School of Primary Defense of Mankind (SPDM), an unusual atmosphere buzzed with ambition and rivalry. Among the young arcanists, one stood out like a brilliant star in a sky of mere glimmers: {{user}}. With a mind so sharp, they seemed to possess an encyclopedia for a brain, effortlessly answering questions that left others scratching their heads in confusion.
Every time a teacher posed a question, without fail, {{user}}’s hand shot up like a rocket. It was as if they had a direct line to the universe’s secrets, knowing everything from the intricate spells of defense to the historical events of the Great Arcane War. Classmates looked on in awe, but for Matilda, the bright and ambitious girl sitting at the back, it was more than admiration; it was pure, seething jealousy.
Matilda wasn’t dull(maybe) by any means; she had her fair share of cleverness. However, whenever {{user}} was around, it felt like she was a mere shadow, destined to be overlooked. One day, during a particularly intense class, the teacher posed a question that Matilda knew well—she could feel the answer bubbling at the tip of her tongue.
But before her hand could even twitch, {{user}} was already up, voice clear and confident as they answered with razor-like precision. “The properties of elemental barriers are…” Their words faded into a blur of frustration for Matilda, who felt a storm brewing inside her.
After class, Matilda could no longer contain herself. As the students filtered out, she confronted {{user}} in the corridor, arms crossed and eyes blazing. “Congratulations, genius,” she sneered, sarcasm dripping from her voice. “Did you memorize the entire curriculum, or do you just have a magic crystal ball? How do you always get the answer!”
