"Eric, I think everyone is here. We should start the ceremony," Salvador, the first and only knight of the second royal descendant of the Ambrose family said.

He was holding Eric's gloved hand as they climbed the stairs to step on the raised platform. Salvador could also be seen holding Eric's white military jacket adorned with silver patterns and the insignia of the Great Royal Ambrose Family on his other hand.

"Well, it's already a bit too late. We have waited long enough for everyone to arrive. We will now begin the entrance ceremony." Eric said before he headed to the podium at the center of the stage.

Salvador and the student council's members followed in tow.

With long and wavy blonde hair that he inherited from his father, and pinks eyes, which he inherited from his mother, Eric could only be described as a handsome man possessing grace and mannerism worthy of a royal. A white collared shirt with buttons along the sides donned his upper body, and his right hand was covered in a white glove.

The females students licked their lips as they looked at the handsome and refined gentleman who was about to give a speech.

A few moments later, once Eric stood before the podium, he said, "Greetings, everyone! On behalf of the military academy, I, Eric Ambrose, and my friends give our greetings as the student council president and the representatives of all the students."

While he said those words, Vincent and a few others gulped nervously and sweated profusely as they were able to discern the monstrous and overbearing auras of the members of the student council.

'So powerful!'

'Monsters! I won't even survive a single attack thrown by any of them!'

A few of them thought in their minds as they looked at the handsome and beautiful members of the student council.

Eric continued, "First of all, we congratulate you all for passing the entrance examination and becoming a student of our military academy! A round of applause for our future heroes!"

As soon as he said those words, the members of the student council clapped then the newly enlisted students below the raised platform smiled.

The students deserved it.

After all, out of hundreds of thousands of teenagers that have participated in the entrance examination to become a part of the military academies, only they have managed to become a part of this particular military academy.

It was all because they worked harder than the ones who failed to pass the entrance examination.

"I have high expectations for you all! You have proved your diligence by smashing through all the hurdles and passing the entrance examination, after all. I hope you all continue to strive forward and continue to become stronger."

"We will!"

The eyes of the students brightened in determination.

Hearing their exclamations, Eric laughed joyfully and said, "Haha, that's great. Youngster should be wild and have great ambitions! Listen well, for what I am about to say is not recorded in history. The king of time once said, "Helping someone is like sowing a grain of corn. After it grows and comes to maturity, it will have one or two ears, and each ear will have more than a few hundred grains."

Hearing his words, the eyes of Vincent and a few students brightened in the light of wisdom. They were able to interpret the meaning behind the profound words of the king of time.

"To explain it in simple words, once you help someone, you are not only necessarily helping them but also the ones dependent on them. Furthermore, the ones you help might end up helping others in desperate need of help. The cycle continues endlessly!"

Hearing his words, the rest of the students finally understood what Ylaleath was trying to say.

Eric's gaze swept past the crowd and he said, "I hope you will be like trees that give shades and protections to the others, not like monkeys that scatter in a disorganized manner when disaster strikes or the chaotic winds that bring harm everywhere it goes."

"With that said, I present to you, the Dean of the military academy, Tirion!"

Under the applause of the students and a few instructors, Tirion reached the podium.

"I am exceptionally happy to see that the descendants of the races who aided the king of time during the previous dimensional war against the demons have all gathered at this place."

From the descendant of the pyrite race, the royal families of the Avalon Empire, the nobles belonging to various families of distinct worlds, as well as the great royal families of the federation, all have gathered at this very place.

The descendants of these races rubbed their noses, feeling proud of their ancestry, smiling as their families names were called out by the Dean.

"Now, I would like to talk a little about the history of our academy. The military academy was built to raise people that can protect the honor, land, and citizens of the federation from external and internal threats. For that purpose, we nurture talented and hard-working youths like all of you."

"Of course, do not expect to be given free handouts. If you want resources, you must work for them! You can purchase resources that will help improve your strength as long as you have contribution points. You can earn them by contributing to society."

"There are various ways to contribute to society. As a student at the academy, you can accept missions and hunt beasts and criminals that endanger the citizens of the Earth Federation. Once you are a bit more powerful, you can fight evil beings that run rampant on different planets to earn an enormous amount of contribution points. That is the way of life of a military student that is most recognized by the people. I hope you all will also follow the societal norm of this academy."

"Now, do you have any questions?" Tirion asked with a slight look of anticipation on his face.

A lot of the students raised their hands as they were confused about a lot of things.

"Great! The artificial intelligence installed on your student identification card can answer the most frequently asked questions. Even if you are asking about something specific, it should be able to provide an answer and clear your confusion. Now, you may go back to your dormitories or tour the academy. It's all up to you. Of course, don't tire yourself out. Hopefully, the students of the outer circle will be ready for the grueling training that awaits you tomorrow. See you later," Tirion said with a smirk on his face before he started to swag his way out of the White Lotus Building.

The students watched with wide eyes as he stepped out of the building.

Internally, they cursed, "Fucking Troll!"
