He sneaked away and did similar pieces of 'art' with the bullet dispenser on the other classrooms.

『 Because of how he was raised after and the political power struggle of his mother and father's factions, Fernis Rombarti Alho rebelled his father's wishes and secretly enrolled to Margaux Academy under a fake identity called Fernys Agnello. He refuses to take throne as heir. 』

Yu Yan stopped walking in the middle of the hallway.

『 ...He had such an obvious fake name and the emperor... didn't find him? 』

『 ... ...Yes, Master. 』

『 ...They weren't pretending not to find him? 』

『 ... ...Yes, Master. 』

『 ... 』

This can't be blamed on Fernis. Although it is illegal in the Blue Star Empire to have the same name as those of royalty, Fernis was the sole royal who couldn't be bothered by such a law. So at his sixteenth birthday, he asked the parliament to make his name an exception to that law. As a compromise, the parliament could allow it as long as the spelling was different.

Contrary to the parliament thinking that the prince was making a fool of himself, many Alhoshian looked up to Fernis. It wasn't a stretch to say that they named their children after him in respect and in admiration of his refreshing views; one that hasn't been seen ever since the deceased Empress and her silenced faction.

On a certain classroom, Yu Yan, who was clueless of such significant Alhoshian history, shot two moving target he chanced upon, and chased after one more on a different level. The targets were dynamic; either a fast floating metal plate or a holographic ring that traversed the walls, ceiling and flooring.

『 How does he lack 'stimulation'? The last emperor-to-be I knew drowned himself in too much stimulation, he broke the bed. 』Yu Yan couldn't help but click his tongue and added, 『 And the woman. 』

『 According to the world background, at twenty-five years old, Fernis Rombarti Alho will meet a talented biologist; a geneticist who will accidentally invent a neutralizing agent that targets the natural instinctive state of the mind. 』

『 Natural instinctive state... You mean to suppress emotions? Like a permanent sedative? Wouldn't that make him easier to manipulate then? 』

『 To answer Master's query, yes. The geneticist is under the influence of the emperor's faction. Fernis Rombarti Alho will officially take the crown prince position at twenty-six years old, and take throne at thirty. The lack of stimulus and change in the surrounding empire and its ideals causes the world to stagnate thereafter with the male protagonist. 』

『 What was the geneticist's name? 』

『 To answer Master's query, the geneticist is called Sylven Buhler. A male Alhoshian born in a backwater planet which is considered a countryside of the Blue Star Empire. To continue his studies, he will accept the scholarship provided by the empire and study at Margaux Academy. 』

Yu Yan felt he had to keep an eye out. A person who could trick an iceberg like Fernis to drink poison couldn't be anyone good.

『 Isn't there a daughter of the world that can help? 』

『 To answer Master's query, negative. According to the world's background and the God of Writing responsible for this world, a female protagonist has not yet been included. The God of Writing wanted the first and second male lead to create a competitive relationship that would spark the primary son of the world before adding the only daughter of the world. However, the God of Writing had abandoned the story before the daughter of the world had been added to the world's background. 』

『 Can't we make the daughter of the world ourselves? Can't you perhaps bestow a title to them and have the world's rule accommodate it? 』

『 No, Master. Unfortunately, system prototypes like Xiao Ba aren't powerful enough to directly bestow titles or directly influence the world. Hence, the host. 』

『 We seriously need to have a talk with that development department—wait. There's a secondary son of the world? Great! Then let's use him to stimulate that block of golden locks! When does he and Fernis meet? 』

『 To answer Master's query, there is no reason for the primary and secondary sons of the world to intersect. According to the world's background, they will never meet— 』

『 Let me guess, that's another 'why' the world stagnated. Ugh. 』

Somehow, Yu Yan now understood why the God of Writing just went and abandoned the story. Character A and Character B won't even meet? How can he add Character C into the mix! He might as well have wrote three separate books with these three separate characters!

『 Yes, Master. 』

『 Honey, that was rhetorical. 』

『 Yes, Master. 』

『 Never mind... 』

『 Yes, Master. 』

Yu Yan quietly stared at the system in the small part of his mind. Suddenly, Yu Yan glanced at the ruckus being made down the hallway.

"You're a pervert!"

"No, you're a pervert!"

"It was you who set that up, you can't fool me! Stop yelling and give me your bullets—!"

A group of applicants were fighting to steal each other's resources, no doubt at least one party failing to score an average of eight rings and higher. If they could get more bullets and manage to hit nearer to ten, they could raise their average.

It was interesting to see red-faced students the first few times but a couple more times of seeing similar reactions later made the prank dull.

Bored of seeing unentertaining scuffles, Yu Yan undetectably entered a room. He glanced at the junctures and the metal frame of the door. Taking a long piece of metal wire from a small vent mesh with the smart tool he pocketed, he managed to pull a wire out from inside the doorframe that delivered electricity to the otherwise automatic door. He converted the smart tool into a pair of electrical scissors and snipped the wire in between.

Yu Yan sat down on a table and waited for the exam to finish, conversing with Xiao Ba in his mind.

It didn't take long for an announcement to echo throughout the building.

Yu Yan got up and patted the dirt off of his trousers. The practical exam wasn't any suspense at all. Since the terminal IDs of combat course applicants were registered prior to the exams, the proctors also had access to sending them information regarding their progress and result.

On the other hand, inside a certain family-friendly shuttlecraft, Captain Nyx was too busy scrutinizing his terminal to have noticed Yu Yan coming from behind the vehicle.

Feng Xuo had sent him a link of one of his polling sites that made Nyx's resting pissed face to an actual pissed face. Why couldn't this fellow just accept his loss like a responsible adult man?
