"They would have been happy to see me here today."
-------------
The graduation ceremony at the University of Kaisersiedeln was held only once a year in the first week of May, right before the admission period for the summer semester started.
It celebrated the achievements of all undergraduates, graduates, and post-graduates across all majors in the university.
On the graduation day, it was customary for the departing students to wear whatever they wanted to wear.
Some decided to don traditional costumes of their homeland, some cosplayed as their favorite two-dimensional or three-dimensional characters.
Some even opted to wear nothing but loincloths to express their freedom from academic restrictions. Today only, the deans and professors forced themselves to endure the students' antics and shook their hands vigorously in farewell, hoping to not see them again in the near future.
