I watched closely as a student with seemingly sparkling and bright silver hair walks up to the platform. His aura radiates nothing but confidence as he made his way with confidence. From where I was sitting, although his expression is serious, I could even see his icy blue eyes that shine with seeming pride.
However, despite the serious expression, I could also clearly see the slight smirk that's gracing his lips. One wouldn't even notice it unless they paid really close attention.
With confidence, he stood in front of thousands of students as he hold the sound amplifier, smiling with both unconcealed smugness and pride.
Seemingly arrogant but also with undeniably talent, Percival spoke with a clear and loud voice, "I am honored to be standing here in front of all of you."
– This is exactly how Percival Roques made his first appearance in the game, perfectly showing his character's personality. Pretty, talented, arrogant, prideful, and undoubtedly the 1st placer of the Royal Academy who has both intelligence and incredible skills in Earth Magic.
"Ever since I was a child, I have always dreamed of attending Royal Academy. So, when it comes to Magic, I tried to always do my utmost best."
"Although I have confidence with my skills and talent, I certainly didn't expect to be the one standing here." Percival continued his speech. A half-lie, half-truth. He indeed has the confidence, but untrue that he didn't expect this result. As someone who has played the game, I know for sure that Percival already knew that he was going to become the 1st placer and representative of the 1st year – that's just how confident he is.
"I really do believe now that working hard pays off, I mean, look at me now, I can't believe that I'm standing in front of all of you." Some students laughed, and a few were saying to 'stop lying'.
"For this, I am thankful. I swear to do my best until the very end, and I also would like to congratulate everyone here, as well as myself, for being accepted into Royal Academy. That will be all my speech, thank you."
A round of applause was given, some, mostly girls, even cheering loudly for Percival as he made his exit. The auditorium only went silent again once Percival went back to his seat, and Headmaster Roderic took over the stage again.
"The Academy isn't that strict when it comes to rules. There is only one thing you should never forget; Violence inside the Academy is prohibited. You are not allowed to hurt other students or teachers. If you do, you will be expelled and punished by the Royal Family as well." He said with a serious expression.
I already knew about the content of both Percival and Alex Roderic's speech, so of course, I also already know beforehand about the rules, regulations, and such of the Royal Academy. Although this was not included in Chapter 1 of the game itself because that chapter ended at Percival's speech, it was told in one of the extra chapters.
It's also been shared by the developers as trivia on their social media page.
That the most important of all was; Violence is prohibited.
However – "However, there can be cases where violence is necessary, such as defending oneself when extremely needed. If this happens, there would be an investigation and discussion." Headmaster Roderic continued.
It isn't exactly wrong, since there could be times where violence is the only solution. But, this is also a flaw that a person could abuse by framing someone. The fact that 'violence is prohibited inside the Academy's is also already a flaw.
Does this mean that if it's outside the Academy... It's allowed?
It was something I couldn't help but think about when I learned about the Academy's number one rule for the very first time I played the game.
