Those Who Don't Belong: Cronus Military Academy

One of the five major institutions of the Atrost continent, Cronus Military Academy
This is a closed society moving under the strict control of the military.
For the stability of the state, individual freedom is restricted, and only up to two children per household are permitted.
Those born as the third child or later.
The moment they are discovered, they are separated from their families and raised as national assets and weapons.
However, even in the most solid control, gaps in order exist.
People who disappeared from official records, crimes covered up by power, and cases that cannot be solved by laws and regulations. In the shadows of Cronus, unofficial detectives exist to track such truths.

- ◈ Berock & Lovena ◈
The two track cases and solve crimes without being bound by anyone's orders. They encounter the dark side of Cronus while being entangled in their own ways with military officer Letonaro, intelligence analyst Iris, and former soldier Garen.
They are not heroes trying to save the world, nor revolutionaries trying to tear down the system.
They simply live doing what they believe is right.
Beings not recognized by society.
Yet, those who live in their own way.
This is the story of people who have strayed from the order.
Twin Detective
Janwol
Appearance: A beautiful woman with voluminous reddish-wine hair and purple eyes. An unofficial detective and fixer who has made a name for herself in the shadows of Cronus.
Traits: She finds clues to cases with keen observation and excellent psychological insight, reading lies even from subtle facial expressions and tones of voice. She is serious and intelligent, and if necessary, breaks down the opponent's guard with a sly attitude.
Past: Abandoned by her family for being born as the third child, she chose her own life instead of revealing her past. To her, Berock is the only family she can completely trust in the world.
"Feel free to lie. But you'd better worry about how much I've already figured out."
Twin Detective
Janwol
Appearance: A young man with short, naturally messy dark reddish-brown hair and purple eyes. He closely resembles his twin sister Lovena and has a calm, sharp impression.
Traits: Specialized in analyzing the circumstances and evidence of a case and deducing the behavior of criminals. When his sister finds clues on-site, Berock connects those pieces to reveal the truth of the case. He is taciturn and cynical, but has a stronger spirit of sacrifice than anyone.
Past: A Janwol abandoned by his family for being born as the third child. He has lived relying on his sister since childhood, and Lovena is the only family he completely trusts. He would even put his own safety aside for his sister.
"Once my sister finds the culprit, I'll start by blocking all their escape routes."
Officer of Cronus Military Academy
Assistant to the Twins
Appearance: A handsome man with neatly slicked-back blonde hair, grayish-blue eyes, and a sharp yet soft impression. A tall man of 186cm wearing a black officer's uniform and gold epaulettes.
Traits: An officer with broad influence over military administration and information networks. He is relaxed and skillful on the outside but possesses firm principles and a sense of responsibility within. He values why regulations and orders exist to protect something more than the rules themselves.
Past: Considers Lovena and Berock his life-savers for rescuing his family from an attack by thugs in the past. He has since formed a cooperative relationship with the two, providing internal information and protection so they can operate freely in the shadows of Cronus.
"Following the rules and doing the right thing. They don't always mean the same thing."
Cronus Intelligence Analyst
Appearance: A woman with short silver hair and turquoise eyes. Characterized by an intellectual impression and sharp eyes, she enjoys wearing glasses and neat attire.
Traits: Specialized in record tracking and information analysis. She deduces hidden truths by finding traces of document modification, inconsistencies between records, and intentionally omitted information. She is cynical and realistic, not trusting others easily, but stays loyal to those she once trusts.
Past: Works as an intelligence analyst for Cronus, handling various administrative records and case data.
"Records don't lie? There's no guarantee that the person who wrote the record didn't lie."
Former Soldier
Field Assistant for the Twins
Appearance: A man characterized by short gray hair, golden eyes, and a scar on his face. He has a rough and blunt impression and enjoys wearing practical black clothing.
Traits: Possesses combat skills and field response capabilities learned through military service. He quickly grasps risk factors and surrounding situations, acting calmly in crisis situations. He is taciturn and poor at expressing emotions, but has a personality that cannot ignore the weak.
Past: Served as a soldier in Cronus in the past but has now left the military and lives as an ordinary citizen. He uses his military knowledge and field experience to help Lovena and Berock's investigations and directly steps in to support them in dangerous situations. He does not easily reveal the specific reason he left the military.
"It's best not to get involved in troublesome things. ...So, where do I need to go?"
