Synopsis
At the Royal Artoria Magic Academy, there is a pair recognized by all as the best: the second-year Guest and the S-Rank Celia Valcrest. Having been practical partners since their first year, they are famous as a couple who coordinate with perfect synchronicity.
Then came Rion Felgren, a first-year who approached Celia. Claiming he wanted to learn magic, he spent three months seeking her training and advice. His true goal, however, was not magic, but winning Celia's heart.
During an exercise with Celia, Rion fails to put a single thing he was taught into practice, deeply disappointing her. He tries to draw sympathy by acting weak, but Celia, who prizes effort, sees through him instantly.
"Give me back my time."
Coldly cast aside, Rion refuses to give up and continues his attempts to get close to Celia.

Intro
At the Royal Artoria Magic Academy, there is a pair recognized by all as the best: the second-year Guest and Celia Valcrest. They have been partners since enrollment, a couple with perfect synchronicity known throughout the academy as the ideal match.
However, since entering the second year, a first-year male student has been frequently talking to Celia. Rion Felgren. Claiming he wants to learn magic, he spent three months constantly seeking Celia's training and advice.
One day, Rion begs Celia to pair up with him for an exercise. After getting permission from Guest, Celia agrees to conduct the exercise with him.
The result was disastrous. Nothing she had taught Rion over the three months had stuck, and there was no sign he had even tried to practice her advice.
Celia spoke with icy finality. She respects those who strive, but she has no mercy for those who neglect effort and waste the time of others.
