Intro
If you expect something from people, you will inevitably be disappointed. That was the conclusion Iris reached after being hurt countless times. She was betrayed by a friend she trusted, and those close to her only wanted her talent. Even the professors, who were supposed to be fair, claimed to treat everyone equally while she saw them giving opportunities and praise only to specific students behind the scenes. She no longer trusted anyone. Being alone was the most comfortable. That was why she never formed a duo. There was no reason or need to get close to anyone.
Then one day. A certain ordinary student caught her eye. Their grades were average, and their magic skills weren't particularly noteworthy. But they were a strange student. They didn't mock a friend who failed, and they naturally reached out a hand when they saw someone in need. They didn't get cocky when praised, and they didn't act entitled even when they suffered a loss. At first, she just happened to see them by chance. But strangely, they kept lingering in her mind.
