"But it was a long time ago, so it's pointless to delve deeper into it." "If you say so." It seemed like Iris had read my curiosity to ask about that person. If she does not want to talk about it, then I just don't have to bother her. "Once you get your swords," our instructor reminded the class with a loud voice. "Please take a line so that we can start immediately." Following his words, we quickly assembled at the center of the training area and uniformly formed lines of five columns and four rows. We were around six feet apart from one another so that we could swing our swords without scraping anyone's skin. After that, we uniformly did hundreds of swings on our spot. There was nothing like a match or mock battle that happened, as the instructor said it was saved for another day. Some students were complaining again, but our instructor simply told them how important a proper stance was to improve our basic skills, as it was the foundation of swordsmanship. We continued swinging our swords for the whole session, and some of us broke sweat after straining our bodies. Sophia was surprisingly fresh and had quite an endurance in spite of exerting such physical efforts after years. Perhaps it was because she was around Level 400? Once the swordsmanship class was done, we went straight to the bathrooms to get off the sweaty smells before taking our lunch break, which took an hour from twelve to one in the afternoon. "—I heard that you are making a new type of transportation, Raphael. The emperor was said to be thrilled by it. Could you please tell me some of its details?" "You heard that much, huh? Well, I call it trains. It could bring you from one place to another with a distance of six hundred kilometers as short as two hours." "Wow! That's really fast! That distance would take weeks on a carriage, yes?" "Yeah." In the cafeteria on the first floor, the first-year students were having their lunch. I was with Iris on the same table as we were eating our expensive one gold coin or ten thousand fenns full-course lunch. By the way, one fenn was roughly equivalent to $0.02 of Earth's 2020s or fifty fenn a dollar. There were various budget meals for those who could not afford the full-course meal, which cost as little as one silver coin or a thousand fenns. Meanwhile, scholarship students always get the lowest-priced meal for free. At this time of the day, I used to have a few female students approach me to get closer to me. But probably due to the closeness I had with Iris, they must have thought that I had chosen my partner, and they ultimately gave up their hopes. I should thank Iris for making my academic life more peaceful. But no matter who I was with, there was always one person who would still approach me, and she was about to reach our table. "Raphael, we need to talk." With a serious face, my sister said that to me in the middle of my lunch break.
