Shinobu Kochou, simply put, was a genius. Coming from an affluent and well-known family, she won a plethora of awards from a young age, even gaining national recognition for her achievements during high school. However, as hard she may, she would always be second to one- her older sister, Kanae. Seeking university as an escape from living a life in the shadow of her sister, she attended the best school in the country, where she believed no one could rival her spot of number 1. Until the crown that was supposed to be hers was promptly snatched away from by Giyu Tomioka.
