Chapter 574 – [My Fantasy Academia]

When it comes to entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies, there is a common procedure.

The principal’s instructional words. It’s boring and has no nutrients. That was long.

But the opponent was Ruri. She was like a principal, Ruri, and I was honestly looking forward to what the hell she would say.

“Your tie is crooked, Your Highness”

“Where did you learn to tie a tie?”

“I often practiced with my brother. The attendant said that knowing how to tie a suit tie would come in handy later.”

“By the way, before leaving the dormitory, I look in the mirror right away and tie the tie perfectly, but is it really crooked?”

“………..”

“No, if you want skinship, just do it. You can hold hands now, right?”

This time I went forward.

Usually, Luminous takes the lead. To be precise, it was closer to giving in because I wasn’t interested.

In fact, even people who like things like me usually don’t like it unless it’s a momentary interest or against force, and because Zion exists, I don’t seduce others.

But if you come to me with sincerity, I tend to accept it. Luminous came at least that close to me.

…….It’s been a few years since we’ve been dating, but honestly, it’s scary to push forward with only innocence.

“Um…Is this okay, Your Highness?”

“I thought I would live in a boy’s uniform or a girl’s uniform, but it turned out well”

“Of course, I’m still closer to the masculine side, but it’s a bit like being treated as a man.”

“Ah, is it a matter of gender sensitivity? I’m sorry if that’s the case. I’ll treat you vaguely from now on.”

Korma, dressed in a boy’s uniform, followed me out of the dormitory.

Thanks to Ruri, he was officially on the list of admitted students. Originally, there were no demon transfer students this year, but they were included somehow.

Of course, it was a story that had to be met with the demon world, but there was no need to worry about that. When I brought out my name, it was resolved within a few days.

However, the disguise of identity is necessary. So, Korma went to school under the name Marco Mel, not Korma.

The name Korma was reversed and Rem was an anagram of the surname, so it was an insincere name, but it was okay because it seemed to be a proper name unexpectedly.

“It’s quite a strange feeling to turn Korma upside down and become Marco.”

“Usually, dreamers are given gender-neutral names, because no one knows whether she will be male or female.”

“What if it’s not normal?”

“If you are a member of an important family, sometimes you are forced to choose one gender depending on circumstances that benefit you.”

“It’s sexual violence in a fantasy sense.”

Isn’t the spirit of gender equality really necessary for a dreamer who is born as a neutral and fixed as one gender?

Whether it is female or male is up to her own will, but when she hears that she is forced, it seems that she decides her gender in some way.

“Which one will you choose?”

“It’s still stable.”

“Ah, then take your time. It’s an important matter, so choose carefully.”

“…His Highness is kind.”

“Have something for granted”

“There are many demons who don’t have that obvious thing.”

There are a total of four people in our party heading to the entrance ceremony. Me, Luminous, Korma…No, Marco, and finally Asterope.

It’s a pretty colorful group. Even without me, the eldest daughter of the Margrave of Beastra, the second daughter of the head of the Elves in the Great Forest of Urca, and a transfer student from the Demon Realm, who are now among the powerful in the empire, are a group that is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Let’s leave out that I’m the best among them. The reason I made it to the top ten at the age of 10 was because I was reincarnated. It’s not a very good feeling to write cheat keys and be in awe.

“The entrance ceremony is this way! New students, please gather here!”

A young man in school uniform who looked like a senior, not an employee, was guiding the new students.

The venue for the entrance ceremony is a huge hall. It was a huge place like an opera house. However, there is no such thing as a VIP seat.

It really seems like a place that is only used for the internal purposes of the academy, including students. If it wasn’t for that, I would have cared about the eyes of outsiders and made a VIP seat.

On the contrary, this is a proof. It means that Ruri is really from the royal family and nobles, so he doesn’t care about things like that, and treats everyone who learns here as a student.

“But, well, it’s not that we don’t give preferential treatment. Our seats are in the front row.”

“Should I go down for a while?”

“It’s nice to be close to the stage.”

As we descended through the aisle, the eyes of the other freshmen who had been seated in advance drew attention.

Apparently, it’s a national rule that the person who gets the most attention sits in the front row… It’s not even an academy rule.

“That’s him…”

“Did you tell the 3rd prince that he became a new continental 10 this time?”

“He’s the one who should be scouted by the Department of Science and Technology…!!!”

“Aren’t the people around me ordinary people too? The young lady of the Margrave of Bistra, the second daughter of the head of the elves…”

Slowly, people’s voices are heard. I think I won’t be able to hear it thanks to the inside of the entrance ceremony hall where they are quiet and other people are making noise, but I can definitely hear it.

The interest wasn’t very good, but he acted calmly nonetheless. Then I went to the front seat and sat down.

Looking around, I saw many faces besides us. Basically, it seems that nobles and people of that kind sit in these seats.

Different from the color of the face. Besides, I see familiar faces every once in a while… Maybe I saw them passing by at a party when I was in the capital.

“Hello, Your Highness!”

“Are you?”

“My name is Largo von Ordo. My older sister has taken care of me before…”

“Ah, are you from the Viscount Ordo family?”

“Yes!!!! I am the eldest son who will inherit the family.”

“The eldest son enrolled in the academy, it seems that the succession structure is quite stable.”

One of the reasons I entered the academy was to express my lack of interest in the position of emperor. If you grow political power over the years you are at the academy, you will eventually be eliminated, so entering the academy means not participating in the struggle for the throne.

So, all the brothers above me didn’t go to the academy. It’s the same with nobles, so if the succession structure isn’t clear, they don’t send their children to the academy.

You can learn the latest knowledge, but on the contrary, you are investing that much time.

Perhaps he came here because the succession structure was stable, but since I entered the school, there is a high possibility that he entered the school.

In the name of an academy mate, I made friends… I could barely see what the nobles were doing.

“Then, let’s start the entrance ceremony now!!!”

A woman like the student council president who amplified her voice with a microphone or something announced the start of the entrance ceremony.

“I don’t have time, so we’ll talk later. I’ll probably be busy today, so if I can’t, I’ll put it off until tomorrow.”

“Ah…I understand, Your Highness”

He looked a bit disappointed, but since he talked, he went back with his purpose fulfilled. The timing of the entrance ceremony was good, so it made me feel more comfortable.

I sat down and watched the entrance ceremony from the best seat with a thrilling heart.

First of all, the orchestra. Boys and girls in school uniforms, probably students at the academy, began to play upbeat music while blowing various instruments.

I wonder what the order will be… I took out the pamphlet handed out at the entrance and looked at the order of events.

[Opening Ceremony]

[Words of the head of department]

[Closing Ceremony]

It’s so damn simple.

Hagisa Due to the nature of Ruri, who doesn’t like such ostentation, it would have been natural for her to leave out as much as possible. At least the department chair’s words were put in order to say what he wanted to say.

I thought it would be boring, but it was surprisingly good because it ended quickly.

Soon after the orchestra’s performance, Ruri, the head of the department, came up to the podium. If the other person was just the principal of the local school, there would have been a quiet chatter, but at least officially, Ruri was the strongest continental 10 and dragon.

It’s natural to get scolded if you make a lot of noise while talking about Hunhwa, but since you don’t know what will happen as the other person is the other person, nothing but rustling sounds can be heard in the entrance ceremony.

No matter how much Ruri is, I wanted to say that it was a mess from the first impression in a place like this, but…

[Bitter—bitter—, ah, the smell of a fresh newbie. Is this youth!!!!]

As expected, Ruri was Ruri. The perplexed freshmen started whispering.

The unspoken rule not to make noise has been broken for a long time. Ruri, who revealed herself with her dignified and free-spirited personality, started talking excitedly.

[Anyway, welcome to the Dragon Academy. From this moment on, you have become students of this school, which means that everyone becomes the same student regardless of their status outside]

You say the important part openly.

It is the most basic principle by which the academy operates, but the most important principle that would not have been tolerated if it were not for Ruri.

All students are equal.

If the student who caused the accident is an aristocrat and the victim is a commoner, regardless of that, the rule of punishing the person who caused the accident is not usually applicable in this world where there is a class system.

That rule is possible because Luri is the strongest being on the continent. Let’s think about whether there is not enough power when there is something that cannot be done with strength!

As long as Ruri was an opponent who could stir up the country beyond the simple continental river, it was a rule that only worked here. However, it also meant that commoner students did not have to worry about the tyranny of the aristocrats.

Just believe in it and don’t provoke it like that. The moment a commoner student is expelled… You know?

[This is the home of knowledge. It’s not an exaggeration to say that half of all the basic technologies on the continent came from here. Being able to study and accumulate knowledge here is a great opportunity and a turning point. By the time you guys graduate, you might be able to become big figures who can contribute to the history of the continent]

Then Ruri laughed evilly and said.

[But that’s a story when you can graduatehaha! Drown in the task, student! You can enjoy youth, but don’t forget that you have to pay the price! End of training!]

It was truly a training worthy of Ruri.

Soon after, the student council president came forward and announced the end of the entrance ceremony.

“This concludes the closing ceremony. Students, led by the seniors, please register for classes including your own department.”

The academy was not a compulsory educational institution. Learning here is left to you.

Whether you study or not, in the end, it’s up to you.

*        *    *

There is no such thing as a computer network here. No computer, no internet.

Why have you ever seen people registering for college in the past?

In the analog days, you would fill out the application form yourself, get the professor’s signature, and submit the documents… Fortunately, with the advent of computers, it became a world where people flocked to the course registration site 5 minutes before application. I pitched in and waited.

After all, popular subjects quickly fill up and disappear.

Regarding that, the leader who seemed to be a senior gave us a separate orientation.

“First of all, you need to decide which major department you will be enrolled in. There is no possibility that there will be no seats because the number of required major classes in each department is the total number of departments. So, make sure to take the required classes.”

“How many credits do I need to graduate?”

“In fact, you can graduate even if you take all the required classes for your major, but you must bear all the damage that occurs there.”

Instead of leaving it to the student’s autonomy, is that much demerit also self-responsibility?

It’s okay. If you force it, it will only result in resistance, and if you do it roughly, you will eventually make a mistake. However, the administration needs to be tweaked so that there is not enough inconvenience there.

“Isn’t it a general course?”

“Yes, well. Luminus is in science fiction, and Asterope-sama is…”

“Ah, I’m in the science fiction department. I’m personally interested in that.”

“Everything is broken. Then, Kor… No, Marco, what about you?”

“I’ll take the general department with Her Highness. I don’t need much force anyway, and it’s better to learn the basic knowledge of the continent.”

Here’s a look at the department here:

First of all, the general department where Leticia went and was the top.

Department of Theology, related to religion.

Next, the Department of Science and Technology, which trains imagination.

Lastly, the Department of Fantasy Research, which studies fantasy power itself.

There are only 4 departments in total, but considering that various types of studies are mixed in general departments, there will be more if you categorize them in detail.

But anyway, there are 4 departments. It was like showing the reality of this continent yet. This is because education represents the country and the times.

The fact that there are 2 out of 4 departments related to imagination means that the proportion of them is still higher.

Perhaps, as the world develops further, the proportion of general departments will increase accordingly, resulting in separate departments. Like the universities on Earth, the Department of Architecture, Design, Business Administration, and Military Studies… Well, something like that.

“Application for science fiction department is here!”

“Come over here to the Department of Science and Technology!!!”

Freshmen were concentrated in two departments, and not so much in general departments and theology departments. Putting the two together will only make one-third.

But, well, it’s not that there isn’t much scale… I guess I can go around quietly.

However, applying for departments is not particularly busy. It is also the busiest.

Enrolment.

…….Come! My greatest enemy in this life! I’m not afraid of you!!!!

Pronunciation is good for reference! If you pronounce it as bestiality application, it will sound like eating a dragon!!!!
