In front of me is the hero academy. Its a beautiful and majestic castle emitting a strong magic power. There must be old magic tools and formations inside.

The power Im feeling from it now is no different from 2000 years ago.

I know you just decided to come here on a whim but is it okay to enter without permission? (Sasha)

I dont know if its good or bad but there are no places I cant enter. (Arnos)

Sasha looks at me in amazement.

.You know Can you stop trying to cause problems before the exchange even starts? (Sasha)

Dont worry. (Arnos)

I walk straight forward and stand in front of the gates. I give them a light push but they remain closed.

Lock Barrier <Digit>. Only authorised people are allowed to enter. (Arnos)

It seems that only teachers and students affiliated with the academy can enter, however, as magic goes its neither strong nor special.

If you try to force it well probably get reported. Its impossible to enter at the moment so lets (Sasha)

Open. (Arnos)

At my command, a key can be heard turning and a lock clunking open. My words had residual magic left on them and so <Digit> was forced open and allowed us entry.

Fumu. It seems we are allowed to pass after all. (Arnos)

.Opening <Digit> without casting magic As out of the norm as always. (Sasha)

Sasha used her demon eyes on the gate trying to see what I did. Leaving her to it I pushed them open.

Hang on. Are you serious? What are you going to do if we get found? (Sasha)

Shall I tell you one of the things Im particularly good at? (Arnos)

Go on. (Sasha)

Silencing people. (Arnos)

Sasha looks at me in extreme disgust.

Dont make such a face. Im half-joking. (Arnos)

So half was serious? Can you please stop. If you do that then this exchange will never happen again. You didnt even need to come here to see what lore and traditions had been passed down about the heroes. Youd find out anyway in another 10 days. (Sasha)

So noisy. If you act like you belong here everything will work out. (Arnos)

As I touch the gate again I hear a voice from behind.

Okay. Please be quiet you two.

Sasha twitched and glared at me. Her eyes are saying you turn around.

Without caring I turn and look back to see a woman in a scarlet uniform.

Her hair goes past her waist and her face has a gentle expression.

What caught my attention the most though were the 2 bulges in her uniform.

Fumu. Theyre huge. There were no owners of such huge breasts 2000 years ago.

Has this been brought about by human dietary changes or changes to their sleeping habits?

Humans lived harsh lives 2000 years ago. With the exception of a few of them, most humans could only eat at irregular times and most were afraid to sleep at night.

Humans today though have a nutritious diet and live in an environment where they can sleep in peace. Theres no longer any obstacles to their growth.

In other words, this is the true ecology of humans.

Are those bulges the proof of the peace that I sought? (1)

Its no good. The academy is closed to outsiders.

The women addressed us in a laid back tone of voice.

Fumu. I didnt know that. Weve only just arrived from Deiruheido you see. (Arnos)

Deiruheido?

The women must have noticed something and looked at our uniforms.

Aah. Are you the people from the demon king academy by any chance?

Yeah. (Arnos)

I see I see. Nice to meet you. Im Eleonor Bianca a third-year student here at the hero academy. I believe well be doing the academy exchange together.

Eleonor holds out her hand in welcome.

Arnos Voldigod.

Sasha Necron. First-year student at the demon king academy. Arnos is the same.

We all give our names and shake hands.

What did Arnos-kun and Sasha-chan come to do? Isnt the exchange due to happen next week? (Eleonor)

Im interested in the traditions of the heroes. (Arnos)

Wow. Youre keen on studying Arnos-kun. Are you going inside? (Eleonor)

Didnt you say its off-limits to outsiders? (Arnos)

Yup. Outsiders only though. Its fine if Im with you. (Eleonor)

Eleonor walked over and touched the gate.

Eh? (Eleonor)

She looked at the gate in concentration. Has she realised I had broken through and unlocked it?

Eleonor turns around while Sasha has an awkward look on her face.
