Overgeared

The Overgeared Kingdom was a kingdom established by players. The policies of the Overgeared Kingdom were innovative considering the fact that the existing nations were based on the Middle Ages. One of the biggest topics in the world was the education system in the Overgeared Kingdom.

It was an equal education system that didn’t discriminate against identity, gender, and talent. It was one step above the empire which claimed that talent didn’t care about the rich or the poor.

‘I didn’t expect it to have grown this much.’

Grid clicked his tongue as he visited the academy for the first time in ages. The Overgeared Academy’s location was always expanding and it already felt like a city. It could be argued that the Overgeared Academy was larger than any other campus in reality.

‘I am proud.’

Grid knew how important learning opportunities were. He walked around the campus in a happy manner and his emotions were deep. It was seven years after the establishment of the Overgeared Academy.It was finally the graduation day for the first graduates. He was already looking forward to seeing how many talents would emerge.

“I would like to welcome Your Majesty.”

The Overgeared Academy had dozens of departments. There were hundreds of professors alone. There were celebrities that Lauel had worked hard to invite from all over. The reason they were professors of the Overgeared Academy wasn’t because they coveted wealth or power. It was out of respect for the great sage, Sticks.

“You have worked hard.”

Grid greeted the professors. He honestly admired the people who shared the knowledge and experience that they had accumulated throughout their lives. However, he was also worried. Many of the professors were white-haired old men. Most of them were about to retire.

‘Lauel will soon suffer again.’

“Why did you come so early?” Sticks secretly reproached him.

It was almost time for the rooster to cry. In other words, it was still early in the morning and there was a long time left before the graduation ceremony began. Grid, by coming here at this time of the day, disturbed things. He had to accumulate his mana so early in the morning... would he faint while giving a speech to the graduates?

Grid launched at Sticks, who was anxious in advance and trying to prepare a teleport spell. “I wanted to quietly look around campus while there are no students. I also wanted to greet the professors who have been working hard so far.”

“I see.”

‘Thanks to you, the professors who have to get up early in the morning are going to die.’ Sticks swallowed down these words. He was aware that Grid’s diligence had reached a level beyond common sense. He was worried about sleeping properly.

“The menu is terrible.”

It was after taking one walk around campus. Grid frowned when he visited the cafeteria to eat breakfast. The freshly baked bread was delicious because it was soft and rich in flavor, but the side dishes were bad. The soup tasted like hot water, as if it hadn’t been boiled for a long time.

“I am wondering if students can concentrate on their studies after eating just this food.”

Grid didn’t hide his unhappy heart. What happened to the budget he gave the academy every year? The food wasn’t even provided properly. Were the excellent facilities just for show?

‘Who is taking the money for the meals in the middle?’

He would have to hurry to send Rabbit’s monitoring team—Grid made a serious vow. Then Sticks told him, “There are still two hours until breakfast. The food hasn’t been completely prepared. If you come and say something like this, the cooks will be upset.”

“......”

He had forgotten for a moment. He lived fiercely every day and started his day earlier than others. His concept of time was distorted. Grid was coughing with embarrassment when Lauel joined him. As prime minister, he also planned to attend today’s graduation ceremony. “Aren’t you over-meticulous?”

“......”

Lauel’s soft whisper made Grid feel even more embarrassed.

***

It was before the graduation schedule began. Graduates who came to the academy early in the morning visited their respective departments. They wanted to thank their teachers who had taught them for so long.

“My father was living alone in my hometown. When his house collapsed due to a typhoon not long ago, the reason I was able to reassure him without becoming frustrated was purely thanks to Teacher. I used the skills I learned from Teacher to rebuild the pillars. I covered the walls and ceilings, and built a new house for my father. I want to thank you for teaching me without discriminating against me for being the son of a butcher.”
