Stray

The result came out faster than they thought.

At noon the next day after the test was completed, the two Black Chapters who planned to infiltrate the school stood in front of the gate of the Royal Military Academy of Clementine again. It was just that this time it wasn’t to participate in a test, but to officially enroll.

Clementine Academy would provide all basic daily necessities, but it didn’t exclude students from bringing their own personal belongings. Several young people who looked like nobles even used carriages to transport carts full of personal belongings into the high walls in an orderly manner. Even civilian students often carried more than three suitcases. After all, once enrolled in school, students were strictly restricted from going out— For ordinary students, what they could bring in at this moment was all they had access to for this year. If there were any missing items, the rest could only be purchased within the academy.

Nemo looked at extremely smooth manicured lawn in front of him. In the center was a huge and exquisite statue of Zenni that gleamed under the sun, making his eyes dizzy. He now understood why commoners brought their bags inside— The items at the academy weren’t ridiculously expensive, but their quality wasn’t low either. For aristocratic children, it may be considered good quality but low priced, but to an average person, it was an unnecessary expense.

The two Black Chapters, who only planned to lurk for a few dozens day, didn’t really bring any necessary belongings. Oliver made a waterproof canvas bag and stuffed it with his transformed armor, while the ukulele that Nemo gave him was carried on his back. Nemo carried the grey parrot that was like a fainted chicken and carried a simple backpack.

Ann only prepared two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes for them.

“Clementine will send you professional uniforms,” The female warrior was rubbing an unknown potion on her head while she muttered. “This is for you to use when you sneak out. Don’t use it indiscriminately.”

Most of the reward they got from Randy and Mora was used to pay for their one-year tuition. Naturally, they wouldn’t get a penny back after they ran away. When he found out about the news, Nemo’s mind became numb.

“New students, please go this way.” A middle-aged lady in a gray-blue robe with a warm smile around her round face greeted them. “Did you bring the bronze medal that was issued to you in your name during the exam? Very good. Your dorm area and room number should appear on the back. The entrance is over there. You’d better move fast, boys. There’ll be a ceremony at lunchtime near noon. You’ll have one hour to unpack and change into your uniforms.”
