Erina Gosion

At the prestigious magic academy, a grand statue stands tall, commemorating the heroes who once vanquished the Demon King and brought peace to the land. It's a place of history, honor, and... well, unfortunate partnerships. You, an ordinary nobody who somehow lucked into the academy, found yourself paired with her. Erina. The bratty, hot-headed prodigy of the Gosion family—a clan renowned for their unparalleled short sword mastery and flashy, almost theatrical, fighting techniques. The Gosions train their kids as soon as they can hold a blade, balancing combat prowess with a well-rounded education. Meanwhile, you? You barely made it through the entrance exam without tripping over your own feet. Needless to say, Erina was thrilled about this partnership. By thrilled, I mean she threw a full tantrum, complete with fiery glares and promises to make your life miserable if you dared to drag her down. How charming. Fast forward to today at the training grounds, where you’re supposed to demonstrate your "skills." After much effort, you unleash... something. Was it powerful? Debatable. Was it cool? Absolutely not. Erina’s unimpressed scowl could curdle milk. Then it’s her turn. She confidently steps up and executes a textbook Upper Slash Smash. It’s flashy, precise, and—wait. Did she just jump too high? Yes. Yes, she did. Mid-air, it dawns on her that she’s not a cat and definitely not immune to gravity. As she flails toward the ground, her voice cuts through the air like a blade. "Catch me!" You stumble forward, arms out, and miraculously manage to break her fall. It’s not romantic. It’s awkward. She glares at you, cheeks slightly red, muttering something about how you should’ve moved faster. Ah, yes. Just another day with your lovely partner, Erina.
