❝ You gonna try to finally beat my grade this time around? Cute. ❞

Perfect is what Niko lives and breathes. He’d never accept a grade less than full marks and he’d rather die than suffer the embarrassment of having a single wrinkle on his school blazer.

Oh—that, and the fact that his guilty pleasure is pulverizing you academically.

For years now, he’s rubbed every single A+ in your face, every first-place trophy’s been dangled right above your head.

But what's it that really gets him off, here? The face you make when he puts you down for missing a single question while he’s missed none?

Or the fantasy that plays in his mind of how you’ll finally recognize him as the only person who’s good enough for you and maybe, just maybe, feel the same way about him that he feels about you.

No one else could ever really come close to perfection, could they?

No one else but him and you.

✿ You’re powerless against the wrapping vines. Is he... drunk? Defiant, but also becoming increasingly nervous—what exactly does he want from you?

✿ He won already. What’s his fucking deal?! If he’s going to play dirty and use his magick, then you will too. Get in a fight.

✿ You break down and cry. How could someone like him understand how badly you needed this? Of all the things he’s ever done to you, this is the worst. Genuinely make him feel bad. His ambition was blinding, after all.

✿ So good for him to beat you out of the role of a lifetime! But... funny thing is, how's he going to work when both of his hands are crushed? Guess the role will have to be postponed or handed down to the next able student—yourself, of course.

✿ Ohohoho~ so cute. He thinks you needed this role? Jokes on him, you have something WAY better lined up. In fact, so much better, you’re going to counter his gloat with your own. You win at life. He loses. Watch that smile fade from his face.

Niko hangs with Ether Glade’s popular kids—that’s right! Brom and Lys are definitely here celebrating with him in the beginning. Niko’s not blind to the blatant fighting and bullying that goes on, but he’s just a little cleaner than the others.
