Orion Academy is spacious.

The building itself is so spacious that it may seem a bit excessive.

When Joo-yeon and Rohan, who finished the interview, head back to their class together, it means that the conversation is an inevitable distance.

“Rohan.”

“Yes, Instructor.”

“Have you exchanged names with your friends who will be with you through thick and thin for the next two years?”

“I was able to stretch out thanks to my sociable friend Gilbert sitting next to me.”

The rest is something you can figure out little by little.

The protagonist nodded at those words and continued to give advice based on his experience.

“Make friends you can rely on while attending the academy.”

“Yep!”

“These are the faces you will continue to see even after graduation. The world where you can make a living through force is narrower than you think.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Although the advice the lead actor gave seemed like common, clichéd words, Rohan didn’t turn a deaf ear to it.

When someone genuinely cares about you and wants you to do well.

Because it is a joyful and special moment in itself.

“Of course grades are important. But there is more to the world than just visible scores···.”

Advice from the lead character that leads to apnea until halfway through.

Rohan was feeling a lot from his conversation with the lead actor.

Even in words that may seem cold when read only as sentences, there is a sense of emotion as a teacher and visionary.

“And··· If there is anything other than part-time work that requires an interview, come visit me anytime.”

Those words were the end of the advice, leaving Rohan no time to respond.

The protagonist opened the front door and went into the classroom first.

Rohan, who followed in, walked briskly and sat down next to Gilbert, putting his bag down.

“Let’s start the morning ritual.”

The lead role’s method was very simple.

Check if there are any absentees, check the physical condition of the cadets, and disseminate information.

If you finish the ordinance quickly with that, you will be given a break.

“The first hour will introduce the facilities inside Orion Academy. Please rest quietly and wait until we start. Understood?”

“““Yes!”””

The protagonist, who had finished his studies, strode out of the classroom.

As the footsteps grew distant, Gilbert sat up in a fit of convulsion.

“There’s no time to hesitate─!!!”

Rohan, who was next to him, was surprised and looked at him with eyes like, “What is this kid?”

Gilbert gave the greeting he had omitted at the beginning of the ordinance.

“Rohan. It’s a strong and powerful morning. A person of my stature forgot to greet his close friend.”

“···Yeah. Your face is darker today?”

“Thank you for the best compliment. Then I have something to do. I’ll go now.”

Gilbert disappeared out of the classroom, no one knew where he went.

Along with that, a voice was heard from behind Rohan.

“As expected, Gilbert Kaniat. Still showing his eccentric behavior.”

A male cadet muttered, fiddling with his horn-rimmed glasses.

Next to the glasses, a student named Suin is taking a short break and sleeping soundly.

‘Who is it?’

Rohan asked the cadet, Ankang, whom he had never seen before in the game, for his name.

He announced his name with his hand on his glasses.

“Dick Wikitree. I, Dick Wikitree, already knew the name ‘Rohan’.”

“Dick?”

“Yeah. Dick Wikitree. The sleeping friend next to me is the bear mermaid Lu Fay. Be careful not to be mistaken for any other mermaid than a bear.”

The name of the person sleeping in Rohan’s ears did not even reach him.

‘How can someone’s name be Fuck?’

Rohan, who barely managed to swallow those words, asked about the muttering from earlier.

“Why Gilbert?”

“Isn’t it famous? The students who should know already know, so they didn’t react to the antics just now.”

“I’m not very good at that kind of thing. If you have time, tell me.”

“Haa, you don’t know this.”

Dick shook his head from side to side, saying he really had no choice, and began to explain.

“Gilbert Kaniat Controversy and Incidents #1 Inhalation Incident.”

Why does this kid talk like this?

Rohan watched the commotion for a while.

“I almost died after swallowing the core of a monster that is said to be born from high-density magic power. I was saved by the emergency treatment of a family member nearby, and when asked why right after, I answered that I ate it because I wondered if my magic power would increase.”

“···.”

“Gilbert Kaniat Controversy and Incidents Accident #2 Chroma Flight School Confession Incident.”

“That flight school in the Sepia Archipelago?”

Dick nods.

Rohan also knows of the existence of that school.

The Sepia Archipelago is a country made up of many floating islands. Travel from island to island is done by airship or special bridge.

In Rohan’s memory, all the NPCs piloting the airship were graduates of the Chroma Flight School.

“I was publicly confessed to by a woman who was called the idol of the flight school. It was an incident that shocked many male students.”

“Oh!”

“However, after rejecting her confession out of the blue, Gilbert suddenly proposed to a classmate who was watching. After graduating from flight school, she entered Orion Academy with her fiancé.”

“Then, did you go see your girlfriend now?”

Dick was taken aback by Rohan’s question.

He added a footnote line with an extremely serious face.

“A hypothesis derived from here is the Gilbert Kaniat hypnosis app possession theory. Personally, I think it is the most likely of the many hypotheses.”

“Are you from the same flight school as Gilbert?”

Rohan giggled as Dick nodded his approval, clicking his glasses.

It looks like this guy is one of the shocked boys.

“He also has many controversies and incidents. That’s why people who know Gilbert Kaniat aren’t surprised by his strange behavior.”

“Understanding complete.”

Rohan was happy that he had a friend who was more interesting than he had imagined.

“But I heard that there is one person that Gilbert Kaniat is afraid of.”

“Who are you? Your parents?”

Rohan is feeling it.

This guy has a weird way of speaking, but overall, he’s quite good at talking.

The bait laid out so far is thick, so I couldn’t help but ask again.

“Gilbert is the youngest in the Kaniat family. According to the information collected so far, there are rumors that he is afraid of the eldest daughter of the family… that is, his older sister.”

“I just got here, should I ask the person in question?”

“What?”

The moment Wikitree put a period on it, saying that it was still just a rumor, Gilbert returned to his class.

Rohan’s gaze turned towards her and the corners of his mouth went up.

“Gilbert.”

“Why is that?”

“Here Dick praised you until his mouth was dry.”

A sports-haired giant sitting with his arms crossed. Gilbert’s gaze turned to Wikitree in the back seat.

He extends his hand, the size of a pot lid, as if he is happy to see me.

“Here’s a new friend! Nice to meet you! What’s your name?”

“Hey, Mr.··· We were in the same class at flight school for 3 years, right?”

“Oh, we were from the same school! I’m Gilbert Kaniat!”

Dick gave up on continuing his sentence, then closed his mouth. He grabbed my hand as if he was tired.

Rohan was satisfied with the painting and called Gilbert.

“Gilbert.”

“Huh?”

Let’s ask directly if he has a sister.

Gilbert’s face darkened.

“Sister··· There’s a gorilla above that is female only.”

“Gorilla?”

“Just think of my hair growing out from my face.”

It was a cruel thing to say, because it felt sincere.

How long did the small talk continue, including the Wikitree in the back?

“Attention.”

The lead actor returned and caught the cadets’ attention.

“Come to the hallway and line up in two rows. If there is a student sleeping next to you, wake them up.”

The Orion Academy tour has begun.

The first place Class 1 headed was the gym.

It boasts a huge area and is equipped with a large number of machines that allow you to exercise using horsepower.

Just looking at it makes me want to jump in and start exercising right away.

“This is a fitness center that you can enter 24 hours a day with just your student ID. There is AI, so you can get help with any equipment you see for the first time. There are shower facilities inside, and if you get injured while working out···.”

Rohan felt his heart pounding as he listened to the explanation.

It would be perfect if I started working out here at dawn tomorrow, took a shower, and then went to the academy.

“Let’s go next.”

After that, there is a cheap cadet cafeteria, a library, and an audio-visual room located within the academy.

During my two years as a cadet, I gradually learned about the places I needed to know.

and.

Whenever the protagonist tells a place, he ends it with the same words.

“Let’s use it without conflict and with mutual respect.”

··

··

“Hmm.”

Rohan lay on a bench in the academy, munching on beef jerky.

The morning was spent with a guide to the location, a curriculum on theory, and a brief introduction to each subject.

I heard that real training will begin in the afternoon.

I didn’t feel like eating a lot because I thought my movements would become dull.

‘part time job···.’

Thanks to that, I was now looking for a job with great success.

‘There are more seats than you think.’

However, it is not easy to meet the conditions because there are many conditions that follow.

Swish. Swish.

How far down the job posting scroll did you have to scroll with your thumb?

“!?”

Rohan, who had been lying down, suddenly raised his upper body.

I saw a store name that was so familiar.
