Orge Academy.
It is an anagram of ORHE in English, that is, ‘HERO’, which means a hero. It is a name that was created like a pun, but at least in this world, the power of the name is unparalleled.
There are many world-famous educational institutions, such as the European Philatia Academy that Esmeralda forged, and Urea, which specializes in nurturing wizards, but all of them are a fold compared to the Orge Academy here.
The facility, size, technology, etc. are all state-of-the-art, and a hero nurturing institution that has nurtured numerous heroes.
And it is also the main background of the world ‘Clouds of the Horizon’ in this game.
there I was now
[From now on, you have taken the first step towards becoming a hero here at Orge Academy… … .]
Now standing on the podium and giving a speech was a man, a member of the student council, who was given a role and authority similar to that of vigilantes here at the academy.
‘Student council, this is… … .’
To be honest, it was a system that made me laugh out loud beyond not understanding at all, but at least it was a name that could not be ignored here.
There was nothing wrong with being careful.
‘There… … .’
Lee Ye-eun, who played the role of the priest of the World Tree, who had originally acquired the branch of the World Tree, was also a member of the Student Council, so I naturally turned my gaze to her.
Still maintaining a straight and upright posture, she could feel the momentum from a distance.
‘Was it a second-grade seat?’
There are about 10 members of the student council for each grade level.
And since the academy has a total of four grades, it is calculated that there are about 40 students.
‘I can’t… I can only remember about five or six people.’
I deliberately sat in the front of the entrance ceremony, but no matter how much I looked at the members of the student council, I could only remember Lee Ye-eun, the third-year student I was talking about, and the man sitting in the back seat.
It was obviously an important role, but that doesn’t mean that everyone was an important person, so it’s unavoidable.
[Next, I will name the first-year senior entrants. Please come forward.]

One of the traditions at Orge Academy was that on the day of the entrance ceremony for freshmen, the senior entrants would represent themselves, take the oath, and read the speeches.
And I knew right away that an unprecedented event at the Orge Academy was going to happen.
[Ivan Hunt and Lee Yu-na]
As soon as the two were called, a muffled sound resounded.
Then a third-year student, who took on the role of host, quietly added, as if to calm down.
[As the final scores of both freshmen are the same, I would like to inform you that there are two senior entrants this year.]
“Same score? Is that even possible?”
“Still, isn’t there a difference between subjects? That is why, 40% of theory and 60% of practice are reflected in this way.”
“I heard that? Besides, I know that even if the same rank appears, the score is slightly different… … .”
“right. Surely the score did not come out to the second decimal place?”
Seeing the two boys talking in front of me, I tried to stay still and changed my mind.
As it is the first day, it wouldn’t be bad to be friendly.
Plus, the more people you know, the better it won’t be.
“I heard they both got perfect scores in all subjects. Both of them are wizards.”
“What? really? Nonsense, really!”
“I know there are such monsters… Two of them, too.”
I interrupted abruptly, but I was able to break into the conversation with the two of them without too much trouble.

On the contrary, they even actively asked me questions first.
“Even sorcerers are very divided in factions. So you’re saying they’re the same faction?”
“Well, it probably isn’t. Originally, it was written that if a score exceeds a certain level, it will be treated as the highest score collectively. That’s how I got the best marks in all subjects. Because there are no extra points.”
“It’s absurd, really… … .”
The boy who was wearing glasses, who mumbled with admiration, murmured quietly.
“But it really feels like the two are in stark contrast.”
“Ah, I thought so too.”
“Isn’t that too?”
I did just that.
Because they were two completely opposite people in the first place.
‘That’s why I said that even the gender was set differently.’
As I was thinking about it, a large-sized boy sitting next to the boy with glasses murmured.
“Are the boys really going to be a nobleman from a prestigious family? But you said your name was Ivan Hunt, right? Go Hunt… I’ve never heard of it.”
“It could be a fallen family in the past, or it could be a new family. Maybe it’s not related at all… But every action is like watching a movie.”
The male student with the glasses muttered like that and shook his head slightly as if he was not even jealous.
Seeing the two of them like that, I was able to realize that my guess was not wrong.
‘Are you sure.’
These guys must have taken on the role of faceless extras and explainers who always appear.
Whether or not he knew what I was thinking, the boy with the glasses continued speaking in a still flat voice.
“On the other hand, a girl… A girl who has just moved to Tokyo from the real countryside? I feel that way. some clothes… … .”
“The uniform is worn. Did you buy it second hand? In this day and age, there is a dragon in Gaecheon, what is it?”
Despite being quite far away, the big boy murmured as he looked at the sleeves of the female student, Lee Yu-na, who was reading the speech.
“It feels like a contrast, as if it was actually filmed. as you say A girl who came to Tokyo from a wealthy housekeeper. It’s not like I’m filming some kind of obsolete drama.”
“But they are both seniors.”
“… I barely passed the theory test with pull-ups.”
“I didn’t know the actual exam would be so difficult. I would have been eliminated right away.”
After talking for a while, the one wearing glasses asked me first.
“Oh sorry. We were only talking to each other too much. But what’s your name? I call him Hyunseong Lee, and he calls him Yoohyeon Kim.”
“It’s Yoo Ji-hyuk.”
“Aha.”
Lee Hyun-seong said so and nodded his head.
Then the big boy smiled cheerfully.
“Please. I wish we could be in the same class.”
“So do i. No one knows if it’s because I entered high school.”
“Wow, high school admission?”
“I’ve only heard it in words.”
It was when Lee Hyun-sung and Kim Yu-hyun tried to show interest in my story.
[Okay, this concludes the welcome party for new students. After leaving the auditorium in turn, I hope that each of you will head to the classroom notified to you in order.]
[Classes are indicated with their respective numbers in the plaza, so please check them.]
“Oh, I have to move first.”
“We’re in the front, so let’s wait.”
It could be seen that he didn’t want to get out of the snow from the first day, and even after the entrance ceremony was over, they were leaving one after another without much fuss from behind.
As I was looking at it, the male student I introduced as Kim Yoo-hyeon looked at me and cleared my throat a little.
“Hey, can I call you Jihyuk?”
“of course. are in the same grade Maybe we will be in the same class.”
“Oh, then, Jihyuk. What is your position?”
Saying that, Kim Yoo-hyeon pointed at himself and Lee Hyun-seong in turn.
“At first glance, you can tell by looking at me, but I am a warrior type. Doesn’t that guy seem like a magician to be corrupt?”
“Hey, let’s be straight. I’m on the support side. Did you see the alchemist fighting in front of you?”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
While we were arguing for a while, Kim Yoo-hyeon glanced at me and gave me a shy expression.
“Oh sorry. So, we’ve been friends since childhood. But because it’s the first time I’ve heard of high school admission… What can I say, I’m a little curious.”
Kim Yoo-hyeon mumbled in a small voice that did not fit her size.
“Was it a nuisance?”
“No, it’s a nuisance.”
There is nothing wrong with letting me know anyway.
Most of all, I couldn’t figure it out properly.
‘A shooter or a support group in the rear, it would be more convenient to hold such a side.’
A direct battle is probably impossible… … .
With that in mind, I looked at him waiting for my answer.
“Actually, it’s not really decided. Above all, I have never received combat training or anything like that… Like Hyeonseong, there is a high probability that he will go to the rear or support side.”
“Aha.”
Kim Yoo-hyun didn’t ask me more than that.
Perhaps it was because they thought it was rude to ask more than this, but it was a fortunate story from my point of view, as I didn’t really have an answer to give back.
“I can go out soon.”
With those words, the three of us naturally rose from our seats.
And as we headed to the plaza, we started talking while we were talking, and while passing by, I glanced at a lot of freshmen, but again, I didn’t see anyone that stood out.
‘Maybe he doesn’t remember.’
That’s because it was a game I played a few years ago.
Even if I remember important people, events, and settings, I couldn’t remember the details.
‘It’s a shame that you can use the function even with a mobile phone.’
Anyway, let’s look around as much as possible, see as many students as possible, and check later on your phone.
With that in mind, I checked out my class on the plaza.
‘… Class A. Of course, this is where most of the playable characters gather.’
It was roughly as expected.
And beside me, Lee Hyun-sung and Kim Yu-hyeon were looking at each other and distorting their expressions as if they were getting sick.
They were probably assigned to the same class.
“Are you in the same class again? It’s really boring.”
“Shut up. Who the hell is talking?”
Seeing the two of them arguing, it seems that they had been friends for quite some time.
Looking at it, Lee Hyun-seong, who glanced at this side, made a look of embarrassment.
“Uh, we’re in class C… Jihyuk, are you?”
“It’s unfortunate. It’s class A.”
“ah.”
Then they both nodded almost at the same time.
“Well, sometimes we do joint classes with each other. Then we can see each other side by side.”
“right. Nice to meet you.”
I roughly saw them off and headed straight for Class A.
It felt a little empty, but it was very little.
‘Is this a classroom? It feels completely different from what you see in the game.’
The first impression of entering the classroom was that it was very spacious, sophisticated, and flat.
Even though he must have departed quite late from the entrance ceremony, the classroom was still almost half empty.
As I was thinking about where I should go to sit, someone waved a big hand to me.
“Jihyuk!”
“… Choi Hyun-woo?”
Even from a distance, he was smiling broadly and waving his hand, so handsome that it gave the illusion that he was shining.
Seeing that, I grumbled a little, saying that the world is really unfair, and I walked towards it.
It was because I thought it would be more convenient to have a little bit of knowledge.
“It’s Sooyoung, it’s Jihyuk.”
“… I know it’s not too much of a fuss.”
Unlike Choi Hyun-woo, who looked fresh, Han Soo-young looked very tired.
In contrast to the pure white skin, dull dark circles were visible.
Seeing that, I waved my hand a little.
“hi. A long time. I never thought we would be in the same class.”
“So do i. It’s really nice to meet you, Jihyuk-ah.”
“yes. So do I. By the way… … .”
In that brief moment when Hyun-woo Choi and I were having a conversation, Su-young Han lowered her head, which she had raised.
Why do you look so tired?
As I sat down with that thought in mind, Choi Hyun-woo glanced at her and whispered to me.
“Since that day, I have been looking for this and that material every night to see what I am obsessed with. It’s been like that for a long time, but once a fire ignites like that, no one can stop it.”
“Aha.”
I just nodded my head.
It’s convenient to get to know Han Soo-young as soon as possible, but unlike Choi Hyun-woo, her personality is wary and suspicious of people who come close to her.
In other words, it was said that we had to get to know each other slowly, step by step.
‘It would have been more comfortable for Choi Hyun-woo to be the main character.’
It was when I decided to solve this problem slowly by making such meaningless assumptions.
“Ouch!”
It was a very intentional and theatrical voice, no matter who heard it.
Before I could turn my head, with a squeaking sound, Choi Hyun-woo’s clothes got wet with water, and at the same time, it splashed me and Han Soo-young, who were next to me.
“Ah, sorry. sorry. My hand slipped.”
Han Soo-young, who was surprised that he was half asleep, or Choi Hyun-woo, who looked like he was not funny.
And even with my eyes looking at me wondering what was going on, the boy muttered without erasing his smirk.
“Stop spilling water on that honorable recommended student. I’m sorry about this, what do I do?”
Ah, that’s it.
I looked at the boy with eyes that were hard to describe, and muttered quietly.
“After all, on the first day of the entrance ceremony, the character should come out… … .”
