Every year during the parade, the king only stops at two places to personally engage in conversations with important officials. These places are the Academy of Huntector and the Technical Research Institute. The former is intended to encourage newly enrolled students, while the latter is because the king places significant importance on the Research Institute.

The Technical Research Institute brings together the most intelligent elites from the four cities of Homeland. Its main responsibilities include the development of various medical compounds and the improvement of firearms and other additional equipment. The Firebird Rifle MKIII used by the guards, the telescope required by the sentinels, and the thunder cannons installed on the city walls all originate from the Research Institute. As a result, the Research Institute is highly respected and beloved by the people.

"Headmaster, thank you for your hard work in the coming year." The king personally shakes hands with the Headmaster, demonstrating the significance of their position. They continue their conversation, providing a brief report on the quality and potential of the students in the current year. Meanwhile, the students engage in whispered conversations among themselves. In the past, they would only cheer along the way, but this time, experiencing it firsthand is a different matter altogether.

They enjoy the coolness and bask in the warm sunlight under the shade of the trees. Countless romances bloom in this place.

On one of the trees, a bird perches on a dark object, motionless, as if it has become part of the tree. However, upon closer inspection, the shape resembles a human draped in a black robe, crouched on a tree branch. A metal tube protrudes from the robe, and from the transparent glass at the end of the tube, one can tell it is a new type of telescope. It allows the user to see distant objects clearly from one end of the tube.

The birds moving around it are curious about this dark object. The young birds peck at the main body of the black robe with their sharp and slender beaks, producing a sound akin to bone striking against hollow objects. Despite being disturbed in this manner, the object remains unmoved like a mountain, continuing its observation.

Through the telescope, it sees the king concluding his conversation, and under the watchful eyes of the Headmaster Baron and the students, he mounts the Shaclaw. Just as its focus lingers on the Baron’s gentle smile, it notices Baron suddenly looking to the right, making eye contact with it. It shudders slightly, and even the birds on the tree scatter in fear.
