Somewhere in the halls of the academy after the exam had concluded.
— I beg your pardon, sir, — Laurence Hatiore was helping the exam's author grade the completed papers, and her expression could not help but convey a certain puzzlement that arose as she looked at some of the questions, — may I ask what meaning was intended in question number eight from the last section?
— Such things, dear Laura, are very important in our lives, whether we wish to admit it or not. External characteristics can determine whether you get hired, whether the object of your affections reciprocates, and whether you manage to squeeze through a ventilation hatch and complete the mission assigned to you. If such a simple question throws a student into confusion by its unexpectedness and directness, then they still have much to learn and grow. You know, in the Sakumorian army there aren't that many women, but those who are there are taught not to be shy around their male comrades in matters of daily life, because for a soldier, the most important thing is, first and foremost, to complete the assigned task... And so it is with this exam.
— Hmm... I'll keep that in mind.
A week after taking the exam and passing the medical commission, a package from the academy arrived at Gideon's house, the contents of which, after it was opened, turned out to be:
- Training uniform (worn within the academy walls; in battle, one's own equipment is used)
- A congratulatory letter.
- A grade book.
All that remained was to move into the dormitory, find out how well Gideon had done on the exam compared to his peers, and wait for the game to begin.
