Entrance ceremony.
A word overflowing with the excitement of heralding a new beginning, an escape from a monotonous daily life.
And if that word refers to the entrance ceremony of [Eternity Academy], it goes without saying.
Eternity, the superhuman training academy that gathers the most distinguished monsters, carefully selected from all over the world.
Just being admitted to such an academy was proof of boarding the elite course and a guarantee of success.
As such, gaining admission to [Eternity Academy] is incredibly difficult, and taking the top spot there is like plucking a star from the sky.
Not only must one handle mana as if it were their own body, but they also need the full support of their family and must have all sorts of secret techniques hammered into them.
Furthermore, one must surpass over 300 other monsters who have been similarly prepared and receive the strict recognition of the professors to finally earn the honor of being the top student.
This is the setting for the entrance ceremony of the special ability battle simulation game, [Eternity Sword Saint Chronicle].
And, I was in a situation where I had no choice but to take this game’s setting seriously. Because…
“We will now have the oath for the 37th entrance ceremony of Eternity Academy. Freshman representative, Lee Haesol, please come forward.”
“……”
“Mr. Lee Haesol?”
“Ah, yes.”
…Because I was that very top student of the 37th entering class of [Eternity Academy], Lee Haesol.
I looked down from the stage.
The freshmen filling the spacious auditorium were, without exception, not normal.
This isn’t to say their attire was poor or that they had lost their minds.
Some were breathing fire from their nostrils, while others had electricity crackling in their hands, and it wasn’t uncommon to see non-human beings.
Of course, this was only abnormal by my standards; in [Eternity Sword Saint Chronicle], where all sorts of oddities run rampant, this was perfectly normal.
Those “normal”(?) freaks were whispering as they looked at me, standing on the stage.
“…Wow, is that him, Lee Haesol? The Mana Dominator?”
“Yeah, I heard he passed through the mana detection barrier.”
“Jeez, he’s a real monster. But he looks surprisingly ordinary.”
While some sent sparkling gazes of envy…
“That bastard must be a golden spoon, right?”
“Which family is he from?”
“Huhu, I’m glad I came to Eternity.”
There were also those who openly sent gazes of jealousy or competitiveness.
That attention was quite unwelcome.
Especially that ridiculous nickname, Mana Dominator or whatever the hell it was.
“But why does he have that expression? He looks angry.”
“His mana is overflowing and boiling.”
Boiling mana, my ass.
[Mana] is something like air in Eternity Sword Saint Chronicle, absolutely indispensable.
Though there are individual differences, it’s something every human is born with. Even a passing mutt has it.
The problem is that I don’t have the mana that even a passing mutt possesses.
When I first realized it, the situation seemed so hopeless that I just slept for days on end.
Ah, thinking about it again pisses me off.
But despite that shittiness, my mind was calm. There was no special reason.
It was still terrible, but the situation was different from back then. In a word…
It was doable.
