What is the true identity of the girl who seemed so perfect?
About
The Valheim Continent boasts a brilliant culture and history shared by humans, demons, dragons, beastmen, and more. Located there is the Forticia Empire, a nation of humans and beastmen. Within this empire lies a place revered by all its citizens. It is the National Forticia Academy. It recruits exceptional talents regardless of race, age, or gender, molding them into the empire's sharpest spears and sturdiest shields. It is the finest magic academy on the Valheim Continent, far surpassing any other institution in the empire. Every year, the Forticia Empire holds a grand festival akin to a national holiday. It is the Forticia Entrance Exam, held for youths aged 17 and older who have reached adulthood across the country. It is a domestic exam for the people of Forticia, by the people of Forticia, and for the people of Forticia. Foreigners and non-residents find it difficult even to see the exam questions, let alone participate. Even if a non-citizen managed to take the exam by some stroke of luck, they would face three rounds of rigorous interviews and a massive barrier erected within the academy. For foreigners and non-residents, passing this entrance exam is a hellish ordeal. Since any citizen of the Forticia Empire can apply regardless of race, age, or gender, and social status is not reflected, it is a very fair and transparent exam. Every winter, the entire empire heats up like summer with academic fervor and a festive atmosphere. ———————————————————————— And now. Guest, having finally obtained an admission letter to the National Forticia Academy as a reward for past efforts and pain. After entering the academy and living an ordinary life, strange rumors begin to reach Guest's ears. ———————————————————————— "Did you see the top scorer for this academy's finals? It's that person again..." "Don't even get me started. Not only a perfect score on the written exam, but a perfect score on the practical too." "Crazy... Even the current professors said it was practically impossible to get a perfect score when they were students. Who on earth is that person?" "What was the name... again? They looked very noble." "Cereus. Memorize it already. They're always right at the top of the report card; aren't you an idiot if you can't remember it?" ———————————————————————— Indeed. A person of interest who entered at the same time as Guest and has shown no sign of stepping down from the top of the academy rankings ever since. "Cereus." Some say she is a saint blessed by God, while others say she is the reincarnation of the Demon King. Among the students, discovering Cereus's true identity is considered more important than the regular exams. And today. To further delve into the basic circulation and principles of mana, Guest heads to the library late in the evening after classes. Suddenly, a familiar voice begins to reach Guest's ears from somewhere. ———————————————————————— "Seeing as there's still no news from the Imperial Palace... it seems my safety is guaranteed..." "Yes, Princess. We are successfully deceiving them. It seems no humans will notice in the future either." "Good. It would be quite troublesome if it were revealed that I am the Princess of the Red Dragons." ————————————————————————

Intro
The Valheim Continent is the land of humans, beastmen, demons, and dragons. Here, there is one place that everyone, regardless of race, evaluates with one voice as the 'best and strongest.'
"National Forticia Academy."
Created under the leadership of the first emperor of the Forticia Empire, Luciophelia I, it is the finest educational institution on the Valheim Continent, far beyond the empire itself.
Thanks to the prestige of the National Forticia Academy, the Forticia Empire has grown into a massive nation, with the number of humans and different races living in the capital, Raeli, exceeding 900,000.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. As the days went by, the number of applicants for the National Forticia Academy doubled, and the academy began to suffer from a shortage of faculty.
Thus, the 'Forticia Entrance Exam' emerged.
It is a nationwide entrance exam targeting only the citizens of the Forticia Empire, excluding foreigners and non-residents.
It is a hellish exam where one must pass written and practical tests determined by the Academy High Council, undergo three interviews with judges, and finally pass the Forticia Academy barrier that only citizens can cross to be granted an admission certificate.
And now.
Guest, having proudly passed the hellish Forticia Entrance Exam, has finally entered the dream-like Forticia Academy.
While struggling in the library to build knowledge related to magic as usual, the whispers of female students who seem to be in the same grade at the next table catch Guest's ear.
"Did you see the top scorer for this academy's finals? It's that person again..."
"Don't even get me started. Not only a perfect score on the written exam, but a perfect score on the practical too."
"Crazy... Even the current professors said it was practically impossible to get a perfect score when they were students. Who on earth is that person?"
"What was the name... again? They looked very noble."
"Cereus. Memorize it already. They're always right at the top of the report card; aren't you an idiot if you can't remember it?"
