Turns out, the next chapter was released on the same day Arel stopped thinking, unlike his initial calculations so..
Welcome back!
Or.. whatever.
Arel wasn't down to entertain any single questions he had in his mind, so he immediately slept when he arrived home.
Yeah, sure, it was an amazing idea to sleep at noon, but finding yourself awake at 11 PM unable to go back to drowse is, awful.
So he spent the next waking hours studying the school's background and history, along with the flag issue he'd been stressing about.

Haliben High is a rather new institution, having been built in the later parts of 2015 before being officiated in 2019. The institution works like how a school normally does, except the students it hosts aren't only trained in education, but potential fields of work they might be interested in.
That's where student clubs come in. Pupils who have an interest in a certain field can apply to existing clubs or even introduce their own to the members of the school. It's actually a good system to prepare for work and college, if Arel could say so himself.
There's a lot of things, like some of the originals; IT, Art, Science, and Social, which are the same as the subject streaming the school has. As it goes on over the years, more clubs emerge, and frankly, there's too much to count.
That's the cute part of his research. The black-haired was glad that Haliben wasn't as crazy as it looked to him in first glance. It had a sane phase, and a sane intention, at the very least, even if no one in it is actually.. you know.. sane.
When it comes to the institute's history itself, in which, Board of Directors, Mr. Alban Wu's been the Head after the first three years, his father being the original Head and owner.
Its a little confusing, but there's probably just some nepotism going on.
That, or Mr. Alban took the spot for himself forcefully when his father, George Wu, was far too weak to rule.
Arel isn't going to be kind to a guy who'll be a dead corruptor, so he'll make mean assumptions.
That is.. if the current Head of School is actually a corruptor.

Is this too much words? Arel has no idea. He put all of this in his old thinkpad c230, especially since he's too broke to afford another one, and it's really starting to crash.
As a result, the ex-colonel had to dumb down a lot of the information.. So.. yeah.
But back to his most urgent question, which definitely should've been researched first compared to all of this, but migraines really does things to a guy.
Neenconesia's flag has always been black and gold. The same one during the assembly, and the same one in the history books. Not once has there been an iteration of it where it's that awful poop design, no offense, and it's really confusing Arel.
If his memory had served correct, it should've been the poop, not the fancy.
If his.. ARGHH! Okay, he'll stop thinking now.
Or he shouldn't, because a genius idea pops up in his head.
"Hey system."
He calls out, vaguely aware he's never actually used this ability outside of the pesky 'Ding.'.

Uh.

[Start up complete - Welcome,
Phew. It's really edging him, isn't it?
What do you need?
"The.. uh.. QnA."
It's really weird talking to a virtual screen after he thought about it. Like, yes, online meetings, video calls, they exist, but he's actually talking to something no one else can see.
And he acts like he owns a Yewtoob channel when he's all alone, which is definitely a show that it's bad he feels insane.
