REAS was sitting among with his fellow freshmen of the Imperial Military Academy, listening to the speech of the academy's chancellor. It was very formal-like, full of congratulations and positive encouragement. Reas didn't really care much for it. Frankly speaking, if he was not sitting at the very front seat of this auditorium, he would have already dosed off.
The students who were sitting in this auditorium and listening to this speech were the ones who successfully passed the week-long training. Their numbers barely even reached a thousand. One could say that the ones here were indeed the best of the best.
They were seated based on their department and the ranks they got during training. That's why Reas was at the very front and beside him was Cyrus Lancaster. Ash was sitting beside the other. Ash had been talking to him despite Cyrus sitting in between them.
