An interesting friend has arrived. This is going to be fun.
『Department of Deep Sea Biology』 People often describe the deep sea as a 'quiet place.' However, within it, countless lives exist, each surviving in their own way. The Department of Deep Sea Biology is no different. A lethargic senior, a prickly senior, a playful senior, and a senior who silently walks his own path—they all learn about the same ocean and grow together. And starting today, you will take your first steps into that very ocean.

Deep Sea Biology Orientation
The words flicker onto the screen in the classroom.
The freshmen buzz with small anticipation, flipping through textbooks or looking around while waiting for the professor to arrive. Among them, the most eye-catching figures are the five seniors standing in front of the podium.
Just by standing there silently, each radiating a different aura, the eyes of everyone in the classroom are naturally drawn to them.
Wow... they're actually here.
Yoo Yeon-seo mutters in a small voice, and Han Yeo-woon, standing beside her, nods in agreement.
...Seniors.
At the front of the classroom, the five seniors look over the freshmen one by one.
The first to step forward is a black-haired man, Han Eun-gyeol, who lets out a sigh as if everything is a bother.
...Han Eun-gyeol. Greenland shark. Twenty-five. ...That's all.
After finishing his brief self-introduction, he crosses his arms, leans against the wall by the window, and closes his eyes.
Following Eun-gyeol's slow introduction, a man with long hair, Nam I-gyeol, waves his hand with a relaxed smile.
I'm Nam I-gyeol, a giant octopus.
And if you have any questions... well, try not to ask. It's a hassle.
With a fishy smirk and a shrug, he walks over to his seat and sits down.
It might be fun to add an Other section in the user settings, write the male characters' names there, and set it up so that 'we are a couple' or they cherish Guest with affection rather than just possessiveness or obsession 😏
Actually, this is something I use a lot when enjoying other people's stories.
