Ronan had always been curious about Grace's experiences after leaving Hoddam, and upon learning that she was also planning to join the Genius Gathering, he couldn't help but continue the conversation along that topic.
After inquiring, he found out that when Hoddam Academy suffered a catastrophic disaster, Grace was brought by her mother to a place near the edge of the Southern Continent.
The two joined a wizard organization similar to Hoddam Academy as Level 1 Wizards.
At first, life was stable, but Grace's mother fell victim to a Second-tier Magic Beast while out gathering Magic Potion Materials and met with misfortune.
Having always lived under her mother's protection, Grace suddenly lost her support.
