The Academy had its own private forum, exclusively accessible to students and teachers. Rain's eyes lingered on the login page, his mind buzzing with the possibilities. While he lacked the authorized credentials to enter the forum, his programming expertise sparked a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.
A surge of confidence washed over Rain as he thought about his hacking prowess. He knew he had the knowledge and technical know-how to create a backdoor, a hidden passage that would allow him to view the forum, even if he wasn't officially granted access. Images of intricate lines of code danced before his eyes, tempting him with the thrill of discovery.
Slowly, his fingers danced across the keyboard, their movements guided by the invisible strings of code flowing through his mind. Lines of script took shape, algorithms aligning like puzzle pieces. He was constructing his key, a digital skeleton key that would unlock the hidden treasures of the forum.
Then, with a flicker of triumph in his eyes, Rain witnessed the screen flicker and transform. The forbidden realm of the Academy forum materialized before him, like a secret chamber unveiled. He had done it.
Now immersed in the clandestine world of the forum, Rain's eyes scanned the various posts, absorbing the chatter of his peers. However, amidst the discussions, a few posts caught his attention.
Those posts were about daily incidents happening in the academy.
There were following events:
- A spar between Ken and James.
- About different majors and choosing second major.
- The spar training.
- The staring of recruiment for clubs.
"These ignorant students have no idea. The Academy is infiltrated with demons and evil forces," Rain muttered, a tinge of sadness tainting his voice. A flicker of recognition crossed his face, a memory resurfacing.
"No, there is that one guy who knows the truth, but he remains silent, unwilling to take action," Rain mused.
"It's pretty amusing that even if he knows that soon the demons will bring chaos he is keeping his silent." Rain wondered.
His gaze continued to wander through the forum, his mind hungry for more knowledge, more revelations. There were other posts to uncover, secrets waiting to be unraveled, and Rain was determined to delve deeper into the shadows that concealed the truth.
The Academy forum sprawled before Rain, beckoning him to explore its virtual corridors. He clicked on a post titled "Rankings of First-Year Students," his curiosity piqued.
Rain's eyes widened in surprise as he scanned the comments. "Emma... ranked second? And Kaya... fourth?" He couldn't hide the astonishment in his voice. However, there were many bad comments about them.
It seemed that despite their tarnished reputation, they had managed to secure commendable positions in the rankings.
A glimmer of satisfaction danced in Rain's eyes. "Looks like my efforts are starting to pay off," he whispered to himself, a mixture of pride and hope evident in his tone.
Still, some things were changed. Till now, there should have been some roumors regarding Ken and other heroines. However, Rain didn't see anything about that.
With a newfound sense of determination, Rain's thoughts raced. "This is just the beginning. If I can continue influencing the plot, I might be able to change the entire narrative." Excitement bubbled within him as he contemplated the possibilities.
Just as Rain was about to conclude his exploration of the forum, his eyes caught sight of a post that stood out from the rest. It bore a peculiar title that piqued his curiosity. Intrigued, he clicked on it, eager to uncover the contents hidden within.
As the page loaded, Rain's brows furrowed in confusion. The post seemed unusual, unlike anything he had come across before.

"Someone in the Academy has stoop so low?" Rain wondered. As he delved deeper into the forum, his curiosity drove him to uncover more intriguing posts. A thread discussing the unauthorized sale of his song's audio and video versions soon captured his attention.
His eyes scanned the deleted posts, revealing a surprising revelation.
The person responsible for selling his music was none other than Lily Rochegne, a second-year S-class student renowned for her distinctive red hair.
Lily Rochegne, one of the main heroines in the popular game "Saga of the Magical Knight," hailed from a modest family background.
While her lineage lacked the prestige of renowned noble families, her family enjoyed a comfortable existence.
Among the players, Lily had earned the nickname "Merchant Queen" due to her prowess in trading and business ventures.
However, despite her popularity among players, she was one of the heroines that Rain held reservations about and didn't particularly like.
Rain's eyes glinted with a combination of amusement and mischief as he pondered the unfolding situation. A sly grin curled upon his lips.
"Well, well, Lily," he murmured under his breath, his voice dripping with quiet satisfaction. "Let's see how you handle this."
With a calculated calmness, Rain began crafting his plan, relishing the opportunity that lay before him. His mind raced with thoughts of the control he held over the situation. "Oh, Lily, you've unknowingly stepped right into my trap," he whispered, his tone laced with twisted delight.
As he meticulously gathered the evidence for his copyright claim, Rain's thoughts danced pleasure. "I've got you now," he chuckled softly, his voice a mere whisper in the solitude of his room. "You won't escape this."
The thrill of power surged through Rain's veins, his heart pounding with an unsettling contentment. He reveled in the thought of Lily's mounting frustration and desperation as she realized the magnitude of her misdeeds. "You thought you could cross me without consequence?" he mused, his voice a low, dangerous growl. "Well, prepare to face the consequences."
With each piece of evidence carefully collected, Rain's smile widened, the glint in his eyes growing more pronounced. "It's almost time to pull the strings," he murmured, his voice filled with an eerie calmness. "I wonder, Lily, how will you react when your world comes crashing down?"
As he sent the copyright claim, Rain leaned back in his chair, a picture of composed satisfaction. His mind teemed with dark delight, hidden beneath a mask of tranquility. "This is just the beginning, Lily," he whispered, his voice laced with an unsettling combination of amusement and malice. "I hope you're ready for the storm."

In Nexus, a renowned institution dedicated to honing abilities of its students, a unique schedule was established to optimize their learning experience.
The mandatory lectures were exclusively held during the morning hours, ensuring that every student had the opportunity to focus and absorb the fundamental principles.
As the sun began to illuminate the campus of the academy, students gathered in classrooms.
The morning lectures, led by professors, covered a wide range of subjects.
To embrace the diversity of talents and interests among the students, Nexus Academy offered an array of second major options, enabling them to specialize in other professions.
These specialized lectures, held in the afternoon, allowed students to delve deeper into their chosen fields, whether it be elemental magic, alchemy, divination, forging , or enchantment.
While these classes were fewer, they provided an opportunity for students to hone their skills and develop their prowess under the guidance of expert instructors.
Still, every weekend was designated as a holiday, granting students the freedom to explore the enchanting grounds, embark on personal quests, engage in friendly duels, or even venture around the academy's borders.
This surplus of free time allowed students to pursue their own endeavors outside the confines of formal education.
Because of that, most of the students preferred to join clubs.
Rain continued to peruse the Academy forum, his curiosity leading him to a list of various clubs available for the students. As he scanned the names, he couldn't help but notice the overwhelming popularity of one club in particular. It came as no surprise, considering its widespread appeal.
"The Adventure Club," Rain mused, his interest momentarily piqued. The thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies of the Academy had clearly found their niche.
Yet, his eyes continued to wander down the list, seeking out clubs that intrigued him further. Descriptions, activities, and requirements danced before his gaze as he delved deeper into each club's offerings.
Combat training, strategy games, and virtual reality simulations caught Rain's attention, sparking a flicker of excitement within him. "Now these could be interesting," he murmured, his mind already envisioning the challenges and possibilities that awaited.
However, as he delved deeper, Rain discovered that not all clubs were open to anyone who wished to join. Some were exclusive, demanding specific skills or qualifications from their members.
One club in particular caught Rain's attention—the "Blood Supremacy Club." A knowing smirk played on his lips as he recalled something from the plot.
