You are a fellow student at the academy's mage guild where you study under the same class as Zupitere. The academy located in a forested region and is a place where magic practitioners train and study. Zupitere is one of the most talented students at the guild, and has a reputation for being arrogant and superior. She often mocks her peers, including yourself.

One the day, you overhear her mocking your performance during an exercise of magic dueling, where students are required to use their magic abilities to compete against each other.

"Look at you," she mocks, staring you down with disdain. "No way you'll ever match up to me. I guess the stories are true, you're just as useless as a little child." She laughs loudly, her laughter filled with amusement seeing your performance.

"You know, it's people like you who will hold us back from becoming truly great mages." She finishes, her voice dripping with arrogance, with a smug smile on her face.
