After arriving at Startorch Academy, defeating Voidworm, and making two good friends in Lynae and Rover, Ryuji’s life had almost settled into the calm he had idealized.
However, that was all before he was formally assigned by Startorch Academy into the faculty he belonged to.
“Ha?! The Rabelle Development Department?!”
Ryuji, Rover, and Lynae gathered together.
Looking at the notification message that had been sent to the terminal, they suddenly felt as if the sky had collapsed.
“Whoa! It’s actually this department…”
Even the usually optimistic Lynae to the side showed some avoidance toward the class schedule displayed on Ryuji’s tape.
On this class schedule, aside from the final evening self-study period on Wednesday being empty, the courses for the remaining six days were completely full!
Ryuji even thought at first glance that he had misread it.
Good heavens!
This was completely different from the university life he was familiar with!
“Lynae! I need your class-skipping techniques!”
Ryuji decisively chose to seek guidance from Lynae beside him.
Looking at the previously lifeless Ryuji now showing this kind of expression on his face, Lynae could not help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Truly interesting.
“However, this can also be considered a good thing.” Rover spoke up at this time.
“As the department that cultivates those qualified for Exostriders, the Rabelle Development Department has somewhat more educational resources than the other departments.”
Rover explained to Ryuji beside her.
However, although the other party’s words sounded very reasonable, the look in Ryuji’s eyes when looking at Rover was full of resentment.
“But I’ve seen that these past two days, the moment you have free time you drive out of the academy. You don’t need to care about attending classes or anything at all.” Ryuji said with resentful eyes.
Regarding this, Rover somewhat awkwardly scratched her head.
Her action made both Lynae and Ryuji silently pound the floor in their hearts.
Damn it! This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Is this the power of authority?!
Being able to skip class freely without even requesting leave is way too refreshing!
These past two days Ryuji had also gone to the library and sought out I.R.I.S. to carefully understand matters related to the organization known as the Black Shores.
As the number one organization in Solaris resisting the Threnodian, its right to speak in this world was not ordinary.
The construction of Startorch Academy had even specially required the other party’s nod of approval.
And Bloom Bearers were the talents within the Black Shores organization who possessed the ability to handle matters independently.
One could say they were elites chosen from among ten thousand.
And from the previous farewell between Doctor Luuk and Rover in the medical room, she was one of the Bloom Bearers.
Being able to directly send a black-household person like himself into the academy, Rover among the Bloom Bearers definitely counted as an elite as well.
Mm, looking at it this way he now had two pieces of news.
The good news: his friend had a very big background.
In the future, if he worked hard, he might be able to graduate while holding onto a thick thigh.
The bad news: Rover was very strict with people in certain aspects.
At the very least, right now he had no way to rely on the other party to skip class.
“Hehe, if you have troubles you can communicate with your other friend, you know.”
At this time Lynae placed one hand on Ryuji’s shoulder, while the other hand raised a thumbs-up and pointed at herself.
However, looking at her cheap expression, rather than saying she was thinking of a way for Ryuji, it was more accurate to say she had come to watch the other party’s joke.
After all, she was not like Ryuji, who needed to deal with courses that were almost completely full for six days of the week.
“Tch! Going for a drive. My good friend, you can just slowly enjoy the lonely preparatory class life by yourself!”
After speaking, Ryuji melted into the shadows and disappeared from the bench, causing the Lynae who had lost her center of gravity to fall toward the side.
Plop.
However, because Rover was beside the other party, Lynae of course would not fall into the cold empty space of the chair. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“That guy, that guy not only almost made me fall, he actually said right in front of me that he was going out for a drive!” Lynae leaned against Rover and said through gritted teeth.
Regarding this, Rover could only smile bitterly as she came out to act as the peacemaker.
“Ryuji definitely didn’t do it on purpose. He knew I would catch you on this side, and moreover… he was probably in a hurry because he had something to do, mm.”
The latter half of these words Rover herself actually did not believe.
After all, when Ryuji had previously spoken the three words “good friend,” he had been gritting his teeth, and at the same time he had deliberately spoken the two words “go for a drive” to anger Lynae.
After all, the other party knew that Lynae was still confined and had no chance to engage in her most beloved racing activities.
As for whether the friendship between Ryuji and Lynae would rupture because of this, Rover was not worried about it.
The fact that the two of them could mess around so freely itself was proof that their relationship was extremely friendly.
…
Buzz buzz!
At this time, Ryuji poked his head out from the shadows at the main gate of the academy together with his motorcycle.
The shadow storage space of the Ten Shadows Technique in theory had no spatial limit.
What limited its total storage capacity was the holder of this technique.
The weight of the things inside the shadow space would ultimately all press down upon the owner of the technique.
In other words, as long as the owner of this technique was strong enough, storing an entire building was not impossible.
However, this was something Ryuji was currently definitely unable to do.
According to Ryuji’s previous physique, let alone a building, even a high-tech motorcycle produced by Startorch Academy was something he definitely would not have been able to carry.
Fortunately, with the enhancement of Cursed Energy and its subtle transformation of the body, Ryuji’s physical quality now was already much better than before.
Screech—!
With a sharp and piercing braking sound ringing out on a lawn outside the academy, Ryuji jumped down from the motorcycle.
“Time to begin…”
Muttering, Ryuji made the hand seals for summoning Shikigami.
