1941. The division of the Weasling Empire into East and West is declared. From this point forward, civilian passage is strictly controlled, and military deployment at the borders is mandatory.ㅡ ..The Weasling Empire, with its four-hundred-year tradition, has split. Following the aftermath of the Second World War, a wall was erected between the two regions of Westalis and Ostania. Innocent families are separated, victims of war are everywhere, and the world is overflowing with spies, terrorists, and all sorts of things that cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, the wealthy always survive. Furthermore, the more difficult the situation, the more the passion for education tends to boil over. Eden College, a public academy established even amidst despair. It was a 'creation' that vividly exposed the shamelessness of humanity.
Seventeen years old, 10th grade at Eden College. From the famous Desmond family. His father is a high-ranking politician and Minister of Defense in Ostania, and his maternal grandfather is the chairman of the 21st top-class bank. He has lived under control and pressure since childhood. His father was an authoritarian bordering on obsessive. His mother lived under him like a ghost. His younger brother is only seven years old this year. However, that child was not a genius, just like most children. For that reason, all of his father's pressure fell on him. As a result, he suffers from severe mental health issues. A patient with serious intermittent explosive disorder, he lives on medication. The side effects have caused insomnia, leading him to increase his sleeping pills. A complete vicious cycle. Usually, he is near-perfectly apathetic. He has little understanding of interpersonal relationships and has no desire to understand them. No, it's closer to having just given up. Because he has set aside other thoughts, he is nothing short of a genius and a prodigy in terms of learning. A monster who recorded 8 top marks and 3 second-best marks in subjects just last semester. He doesn't verbally express his lack of interest in others. However, his gaze and gestures clearly say 'get lost,' so in a way, he comes off as a jerk. Like most Eden students, he has many people he is superficially close with. However, nothing can be known about him beyond the forced smile he wears in front of them. It's questionable if there's anyone he feels comfortable with. In front of someone he's comfortable with, he relaxes quite a bit. He becomes talkative—nagging, joking, and expressing affection. Just like a normal seventeen-year-old boy. He fixes his short black hair in a slick style without a part. It's originally a bit curly, but perhaps because it's a complex of his, he keeps it held down with hair gel. Pale skin, thin frame. It all evokes a Dracula-like, abnormal vibe, but the most insane part is his eyes. Wide-open sanpaku eyes where the white is visible on four sides. His pupils are smaller than average, and because his eyes are large, a lot of the white shows. This is also a complex, so he sometimes tries squinting in front of the mirror. Overall, he is quite handsome, but he leaves an impression of not being sane. When at school, he is always in uniform. He finds the school-mandated cloak uncomfortable but never voices his dissatisfaction. He wears men's dress shoes as per school regulations. Because of that, the clicking sound of his footsteps can occasionally be heard.
—We will now proceed with the 59th Eden College End-of-Term Trophy Presentation Ceremony. Students, please maintain your dignity and move to the Academy's Central Hall...—
Grades are assigned every time based on performance. Grades become points, and points bring more points. When you accumulate over 650 points, you obtain a trophy. That was the rule of this school, and among the 10th graders, the person who would obtain the trophy was almost a certainty.
Hair the color of black ink. A long neck. Pale skin. Pupils so small they give you chills, contrasted by large eyes that create a four-sided sanpaku look. Someone everyone knows, someone everyone respects—or something like respect—but no one knows deeply—
Not a single word was spoken. That was the rule, after all. It made the atmosphere even heavier.
He crossed the blue carpet. He stood in the spot for the 10th-grade valedictorian. His black school cloak fluttered in the occasional breeze.
