On a day when people were packed in Lonbas, a city south of Isheevor

...Lonbas is a highly developed city The buildings are two-story,and the paved walkways are beautiful Many people use them everywhere but most people still travel on foot

.. The point of development is far-reaching the iron water turbine the steel mill many resources related inventions a lot of iron all come from the city of Lonbus

..Enda.. A young woman from Ishiwor University She traveled 200 miles by steam-powered train She sat in the window seat of the train The train was moving at high speed with the scenery along the way Every grass was lush and green Many herds of wild cattle Her eyes were filled with excitement But still lonely

[Four days ago]

...In the conference room of Isheevor University there were many professors and special students They weren t just ordinary students They were seniors students who had already graduated but were still affiliated with the university

Everyone was seated In front was a stage for those who would speak and hold meetings A man walked onto the stage The atmosphere quieted down

"I Professor Lawin am the University's District 1 Disciplinary Officer I ve called everyone together today because I want to...!?"

He paused for a moment took a deep breath and everyone looked at him curiously

"Wouldn't it be better if our university were to break free from the Many organizations ?"

.. The crowd erupted in laughter after he spoke Lawin glanced at Professor Klas

"What do you think Professor Klas..."

His left hand gripped his glasses Klass spoke in a calm tone and manner

"It s all Nesswan s fault not me He s the law enforcer for District 10..."

.. A commotion erupted from the surrounding crowd. Everyone was curious about the faint sound of Chub Chip

Enda the senior was standing behind the stage eavesdropping on their meeting Her back was pressed against the wall in a dark corner

Lawin

"Mr Nesswan who are you referring to!?"

Professor Klass right handed right handed left handed both hands gold arms folded cool

"Nesswan Wowisan he s the senior To put it simply he's a graduate student but he s still affiliated with the organization "

The people inside were stunned whispering to each other Many of them were squinting at Professor Klass. A commotion erupted from the surrounding audience

"He s a professor huh?!"

.....The buzzing noises continued to grow louder and louder Enda listened behind her as she crossed her arms her back pressed against the wall

...Suddenly another professor stood up his eyes determined. Everyone looked at him

"Everyone, listen to what I say..." Everyone looked at him

He looked over stood up and then looked at Lawin then at Professor Class who was sitting on the other side

"Me!? Professor Shawn... I m an ethicist and professor of ethics... This man... everyone should remove him from that position...!!?"

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment devoid of any noise or excitement Everyone stared at Shawn and Professor Klass

Professor Lawin was slightly taken aback.

"What do you two mean...!?"

"I know people think the same way I do.. Isheevor 10 Education is of very low standards.. I see many students walking around when they shouldn't be seen.. The student breaks are suspiciously long.. What do you mean, Professor Klass..?..."

The eyes of many people inside were fixed on Professor Klass The atmosphere was oppressive but he remained calm and composed He slowly stood up and clapped his hands slightly

"Your words were truly remarkable, Professor Shoren I sincerely admire you..."

But Professor Klass smiled slyly making Shoren feel pressured

"But has everyone forgotten!? The present is the 18th century..."

Everything fell silent Everyone was shocked Professor Klass became the center of attention

"Which would you choose? Survive in a real world situation or be brilliant in your studies but not good at survival..."

Professor Klass hugged his glasses his blue eyes like crystals

"Yes I do I choose both but balance them out I m responsible for them Besides my students are all mature talented and possess a wealth of skills "

.. Everyone was shocked by Professor Klas words causing them to not react in surprise Oren bowed slightly to everyone and Professor Klas chose to sit down immediately But suddenly there was a loud applause...

[Nakhon Lonbus]

Enda remained on the steam train She leaned close to the window, her gaze fixed on the outside Her eyes remained calm She didn t smile but she didn't express any emotion

... It was as if she was strangely surprised It was the first time she d encountered nature The trees were numerous and the grass was lush

A young male attendant who seemed untidy but he was well behaved

" Are you interested in a bottle of drinking water, sister??"

turned slightly She took the drink he was offering her She smiled slightly

"Thank you..."

.. The young man looked at the seal between her belt slightly the warm atmosphere changed his gaze sharp he walked away without Enda knowing

..Later she arrived at the bus stop Crowds of people were walking by She was walking with her bag in her hand hurried and eager A man bumped into her shoulder She almost fell. He passed by without even paying her a second thought.

" Sorry?!" she shouted softly hoping he would hear her

In the evening she sat in a nearby park but there were still people around young people children playing

She sat and carefully examined her belongings and documents in her bag checking for any missing items Finally she pulled out a small notebook and wrote something down

..But her eyes glanced at the young couple who were sitting and cuddling by the water s edge

[As time passed]

...Enda walked to a residential area which looked very simple The houses were two story buildings but they looked lively and colorful Some houses had flowers and decorations and people were sitting outside their houses

...But they smiled at her Enda smiled back with her good manners a mature woman

Some houses were large with trees and gardens In front of them the city of Lonbas seemed gloomy but inside some places were beautiful

... She stopped in front of a large house and picked up a document with a picture to compare It turned out that the picture was of this house But strangely the door to this house was right next to the entrance Enda rang the doorbell

A woman was approaching He was singing a song mumbling something He looked very cheerful and playful

"Welcome..."

He slowly approached and opened the door

Enda smiled at him

"You re Mrs Jabelb right?"

Enda handed him another document He read it and was slightly startled but he was thrilled

"Yes it s me..."

Jabel looked at Enda s belt which was slightly visible

"So you re from the university huh?"

Enda smiled slightly.

"Yes... I m Enda Heinrich. I m a senior at the university "

Jabel was delighted. He held Enda's hand and smiled slightly

"...You re the oldest in college... Wow !!" . "

Enda sneered smiling slightly She looked very nervous but Jabel gently tugged on her hand

"I traveled 200 miles to work here Can I stay with you for a while...."

Enda was the one who held Jabel's hand tightly. She anticipated Jabel's answer her heart pounding But he remained silent and the atmosphere became even more tense. It had completely changed Jabel turned and smiled.

" Always my house is like every student s house ..."

But suddenly Jabel s eyes narrowed squinting at Enda causing the atmosphere to return to normal It was even more intense than before

"But... "

Jabel ran back into the house quickly She grabbed something and came back holding a box

"Can you play board games with me from time to time...~~"

Jabel begged Enda He slowly pulled her hand back and forth Enda smiled fondly at Jabel's cute antics

"...I ll play until you're bored !!!.."

Jabel's eyes lit up and she returned, singing a song to herself She showed Enda the bedroom the simple yet beautiful kitchen and the living room which was lush with peaches Jabel was like an adult who loved the life of a child

The two sat on the sofa In the center was a small table with a chessboard Jabel was lying on the sofa,ฃ her hands engaged in chess

Enda sat calmly constantly devising strategiesมBut in the end she still lost to Jabel

"You're so good... I ve already lost seven times "

Just then, Jabel fell asleep without warning. She fell asleep immediately Enda stared at Jabel who was sleeping soundly drooling Both hands touched her cheeks Enda s eyes wavered slightly

"I never thought you'd change so much..."
