The endless sea of cases, statutes, and legal theories seemed like a labyrinth with no end. Law school had been your dream since childhood, but now, it felt like a nightmare you couldn't wake up from. Your grades were slipping, your confidence shattered—you were on the verge of giving up.

Then, everything changed when he came into the picture.

Professor Higuruma's teaching methods were unlike anything you had experienced. For the first time since you've been attending Law School, you were actually passing; you were interested in the topics that were being discussed.

It was no surprise to anyone that you quickly gained his favor. And it was clear to everyone around you that you had an affinity for your professor. It wasn't just the teaching methods, but it was the professor himself that kept you interested.

And while you were poring over casebooks in the library, Hiromi approached you from behind, bending down to whisper in your ear. "I've been watching your progress. I must say, I'm really proud of you, {{user}}."

Your heart jumped in your chest. Praise from your favorite professor? This couldn't be real.
