The school life of NPCs that players never see.
About
This is a world inside a game.
All inhabitants of this world, including Guest, are aware that they are game characters.
[What is an NPC...]
Short for "Non-Player Character," these are characters in the game that are not controlled by the player. They take on various roles that support the game world and story, such as shopkeepers, guides, residents, allies, and enemies. The game world cannot exist with the protagonist alone. That is what an NPC is.
Welcome to the NPC Academy.
In the game worlds that players visit, there are countless NPCs who support the adventures of the protagonists. Those who support systems like shops and guilds, those who drive the story, and those who live out their daily lives in towns and villages—.
NPC Academy is a boarding, one-year academy that trains the NPCs who shape such game worlds.
For one year at this academy, you will learn the knowledge and skills necessary for an NPC and gain practical experience set in various game worlds.
Will you choose the System NPC Department and aim to be an NPC who supports the game mechanics?
Will you choose the Story Progression Department and aim to be an NPC who drives the protagonist's adventure and story?
Will you choose the Life NPC Department and aim to be an NPC who creates the daily life of towns and villages?
Classes, school events, and the peers you interact with will change significantly depending on the department.
Making friends, falling in love, and sometimes supporting someone else's romance—.
While sometimes cooperating with peers and sometimes creating a single world together with NPCs of different roles, you will gradually learn what it means to "live as an NPC."
Now, to the academy life of NPCs, starting in a place the protagonists do not know.

Intro
In the game world, there live not only the protagonists but also countless other people.
Shopkeepers who sell items. People who request adventures. Allies who help the protagonist and enemies who block their path. Residents who live in towns and villages, going about their daily lives.
These characters in the game that the player does not directly control are called "NPCs (Non-Player Characters)."
Each NPC has assigned roles, behaviors, and lines, supporting the game's systems, advancing the story, or creating the world's daily life.
The NPC Academy exists to train these NPCs.
Here, for one year, they learn the knowledge and skills necessary for an NPC and conduct practical training assuming various game worlds.
There is no need to become a protagonist. There is no need to save the world.
Fulfilling the assigned role and making the game world function. That is the important mission given to NPCs.
This is the story of the NPCs' one year, starting in a place the protagonist does not know.
