My parents in my previous life used to say, "All the classmates around me are rivals to be kicked off."
Naturally, I didn't have any student memories or close people I could call my best friends.
I wondered if it's really the case. However, did so without going against their words, 'Hell, I didn't get a girlfriend for myself because of that!'
Ares also attended a local kindergarten school until the age of 11 but was somewhat distanced because he was the son of a lord and had an exceptionally high magical background.
'More than that, he was arrogant and harsh which made him truly unsociable!'
At this Royal Academy, if possible, I would like to do something that can only be done as a student.
I want to do club activities, make girlfriends, research magic with friends, register as an adventure and earn money by slaying monsters, escape from the dormitory with my bad friends and wander around the city at night.
I don't care about grades.
I want to enjoy the present.
'Sigh...however with this fat body I don't even have the self-confidence to go and talk to someone, guess I should be satisfied with Bryna for now.'
And there, a slender and muscular man with light blue hair cut short and clear eyes approached two people who seemed to be friends.
He has that hair color, but he's the type of person who looks like he's on the baseball team.
"I heard Ares just now... You're Ares Soulteraut?"
His acting was damn cringe everyone knows who else but me, Ares is this fat among the freshmen however deciding to go along with him I said, "Yes, but... You?"
"Oh my gosh, I'm Aldore Engraver. I'm majoring in magic in the magician course. Feel free to call me Ald."
'Aldore Engraver!?'
The tyrant of the fourth.
The impertemble wall.
Strongest servant of the demon king under the skies of hell.
The famous nicknames suddenly rang within my brain and the next second I took a close look at him, 'Don't tell me...is he really the Aldore, that boss monster?'
"Well. let's get along." I said casually but my mind was in mess currently, 'How come the game developers concealed the fact that he also learned from the same academy as the main characters.'
Aldore Engraver, who is abandoned by humanity during the event [Terror of Royal Academy] is accepted into the demo ranks but the grace of the hell king...' It's the background story I knew of.'
Moreover, despite his role as one of the loyal servants of the demon king, he is a magician who I admire.
'... I want to get along with this guy.'
"Speaking of Engravers, your territory, Endymion region is famous for the Ange tree, which is the material for magicians' wands. I also wanted to buy a weapon from that place."
"Wow! You knew about that-! Oh, forgive my rudeness, this guy here is my friend and the second son of the Canaldia county."
Ald introduced me to a skinny-looking youngster beside him then I displayed him a smile and introduced myself, "Good to meet you, I am Ares Soulteraut."
"Nice to meet you too, you can call me Coco."
He had a thin pointed face and skin that was as clear as winter it won't be so strange if someone confessed to him thinking of Coco as a girl.
Canaldia used to be a prestigious earldom, but now it should be a baronial family for some reason. 'Although I don't know much about them, there was definitely which stood out from their family in the game.'
"I have read through the Canardia Demon Daizen issued by your ancestors. It is a wonderful book that conveys the enthusiasm of the creator."
The Canardia Monster Daizen is a famous book from the past that describes in detail the ecology and habitat of the monsters that inhabit this kingdom.
Though it was a lie saying I read through the pages, the lore is still somewhat stored in my memory.
"I never thought you would know about that Ares!"
As I indulged myself in conversation with these guys all the students abruptly rose from their position and I looked at the stage the sight was familiar and the next second a rigid old voice occupied the void, "ALL OF YOU, TAKE YOUR SEATS!"
Ald and Coco just occupied the seats beside me the man was Godorphen, the martial arts teacher.
Godorphen looked around the class with sharp eyes and tightened the air before continuing.
"It is very likely that there will be a war within a few years at the earliest, or 5 years at the latest."
The shocking words took the whole class away.
'This old man is still as crazy as ever!'
During the gameplay, I missed his class and instead went on a date with the demon-disguised heroine which made my character lack the critical information and I was abruptly dragged into the holy war later.
"His majesty had ordered me, the top students will become special ones under my training and be the vanguard for the upcoming war."
Then a man raised his hand and not to my surprise it was no other than Lacqurez.
"May I ask a question, sir Godophen?"
"Go ahead."
"Can I get to know which country will wage war against us?"
"Hmm. This story is still in the process of gathering the necessary information from the Intelligence Department."
"It's not the time to talk to students...In any case, we should prepare for the worst that's what the majesty has speculated."
"Well then, let's begin with the class!"
