Academy’s LOL Robot Summoner

The busy front gate of the academy.

Most of the crowd consists of students who have just enrolled in the academy and their guardians, but in one corner, there are also people who seem to be reporters.

“Do you really have to go to the academy?”

“I told you I’m fine, Mom! Just trust me.”

The worried mother sees her son off.

“If what you’ve trained for so far is any indication, you’ll have no problems at the academy. Have a good time.”

“Yes, Father.”

The father and son exchange words with a somewhat brusque feeling.

“Hey, this way, young master.”

“Tch, why can’t we just drive in? Isn’t this discrimination against new students?”

“Don’t be like that….”

The wealthy young master grumbles while the men in black suits escort him with anxious looks.

While many figures are gathered, all the students wear tidy, single-colored outfits resembling practical military uniforms— the academy’s uniforms.

Perhaps it’s because of that, but the atmosphere flowing here is quite different from an ordinary school.

There’s a tense excitement as if they’re heading to the front lines.

Many guardians who came to see off their children are crying, which likely fits into that context.

And at the academy’s front gate, a girl stands with a grim expression.

“Phew….”

After taking a deep breath, she slaps her cheeks, revealing two eyes sparkling like a rainbow as her closed lids flutter open.

“This is Morning Star Academy….”

Thump-thump.

Is it because she’s finally entering the academy she’s long awaited? The girl stands still, her heart racing like a runaway train.

“Are you that excited?”

“Yes! It’s just the beginning!”

“Heh, you’re something else. But you should wipe the rice off your mouth before heading to the academy, right?”

The girl’s mother wipes the rice from her daughter’s mouth.

“Ah, thank you… Mom.”

“Yeah, be brave there too. Make sure to contact us often, okay?”

The mother embraces her daughter tightly. The warmth of their bodies conveys the parents’ caring hearts.

“Yeah, you take care too, Mom. I’ll call often….”

“Right, don’t forget that Mom and Dad are always cheering for you.”

“Yes.”

As they converse, a crackling noise comes from inside the academy, and an announcement flows out.

[Attention to new students, attention to new students. The entrance ceremony will soon be held in the auditorium on the first floor of the academy, so please make sure to attend on time. Once again, we inform you—]

“Now go on, or you’ll be late.”

“Okay, Dad, be careful at work.”

“Right, our daughter… make lots of good friends and learn a lot.”

“Yes!”

The girl waves cheerfully as she runs towards the academy, then stops at the school gate to wave at her family once more before dashing inside.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, with no special events, a scene from the educational institution unfolds, but one pair of eyes quietly observes their figures from the bushes.

Wiiiiing—

A small circular drone buzzes ceaselessly, transmitting video, its data headed towards the academy’s dormitory.

“They’re arriving in droves.”

A calm voice murmurs while watching the video, belonging to a girl with skin as smooth as a child’s and a sculpted, beautiful appearance. She is short but has long, silver hair that sparkles as if holding the stars of a night sky.

Edu Nimbusday.

The girl, who has the consciousness of Jung Eunwoo living on Earth, tosses around on her bed while carefully checking the information being sent to her mind.

“Hmm hmm hmm.”

The numerous new students passing through the school gate.

In fact, the academy’s front gate is located far enough from the academy that arriving by vehicle is efficient, but on entrance ceremony days, it’s a tradition for new students to walk to the academy building personally.

So what am I doing here? Well, I’m checking out the people to prepare for what’s to come.

I’m definitely not being lazy or slacking off, I promise… really!

At that moment, someone knocks on the door.

“Edu-nee! The entrance ceremony is starting soon!”

“Got it, Mili, I’m coming out!”

“Yes, yes!”

After disabling the summon of the drone hidden at the entrance, she reaches for the bag-shaped device made by Banetta on the side of the room.

“Hands, come here!”

Beep-. Wiiiing—

The little drone quickly approaches me after hearing the command and secures itself. Hands is the name I gave to this device.

I felt sorry to leave it nameless, and since I would rely on it in the future, I thought I should at least give it a name.

However, it seems it also liked that name, as it comes swiftly whenever I call it without me telling it what to do.

“Alright, let’s go… Bungbungi No. 1!”

Beep-.

At my words, a large drone that was quietly sleeping in the corner of the room begins to activate.

[Beeep- / (๑•‿•๑)]

An emoticon indicating Bungbungi’s status appears on the black screen, and Bungbungi approaches me.

“Yap!”

Whack.

As I jump onto it, Hands instinctively lifts me up and places me in a seat.

This is the marvel of civilization. Ah, what a relief.

“Okay, Bungbung, let’s head outside.”

[Beeep. /⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝]

Bungbungi moves at a suitable pace, neither too fast nor too slow. When Bungbungi stops in front of the door, Hands stretches out its hand to open it.

“Jo, good morning, sister.”

Mili greets while bowing her head. Although her demeanor remains the same as usual, there’s one noticeable change.

That’s right, Mili’s attire, a monochrome uniform resembling military gear— the academy’s uniform— makes her look quite striking compared to before.

Due to the tight-fitting material of her skirt and top, her somewhat plump figure is clearly visible, and the two hills on her chest stand out with confidence.

She has an explosive body, but oddly, her face possesses a cute, round look with dog-like brown eyes.

Is this what they call a gap moe? In any case, seeing her like this, Mili is quite well-endowed.

“Yeah, good morning, Mili. Did Sita go ahead?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Okay, then let’s hurry and go too.”

“Yes, I’ll lead the way. Bungbung, follow me.”

[Beeep. /(˶•▿•˶)]

Bungbungi nods and follows Mili.

As we walk through the now-familiar academy, the grand auditorium soon comes into view, and Sita standing next to the door catches my eye.

“Welcome, sister. Good job, Mili.”

“Yeah, Sita. Always so diligent.”

“What can I say.”

Sita bows her head shyly.

Since it’s the day of the entrance ceremony, Sita wears the same outfit as Mili, but she seems to have tidied it up a bit, giving her an air of masculinity and a quintessential model student vibe rather than the wild impression she had before.

In other words, she gives off a signature elite female soldier feeling.

“Then, since the new students should be arriving, let’s head inside together, sister.”

“Alright, let’s go, Bungbung!”

[Beeep. /⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝]

We open the large door and enter the auditorium.

Immediately, I see people entering through another door and those already gathered.

All of them, wearing academy uniforms, are scattered around, regardless of gender, inspecting their surroundings or already huddled together, creating a commotion.

“It’s really spacious!”

“So this is the academy….”

Some students genuinely admire the place.

“Why did they build something so unnecessarily large?”

“Tch, no matter how grand it looks, it can’t compare to Sunrise Street….”

Others, from the upper class, show their displeasure over trivial matters.

“….”

There’s a girl silently observing her surroundings like a machine.

“Auu….”

And a small rabbit-like girl looking around nervously, unsure of what to do.

Talented individuals gathered from across the realms, regardless of status.

And on one side of their chests, a plain iron badge without any insignia shines, indicating their status as first-year students.

While most would typically start looking for main characters in such situations… I decided not to.

After all, we’ll all end up in the same place.

[Attention to new students, attention to new students. The entrance ceremony will soon begin, so please head to your designated spots and wait. Once again, we inform you—]

Just then, the announcement flows out. Looking at Mili and Sita standing next to me, both nod and head towards their assigned positions.

Mili goes to the left where the non-commissioned officers are gathered, Sita aims for the center where the officers are, and I stand on the far right where the awakened gather.

As we move forward to our designated spots, a beep sounds, and the ID responds.

[Notification, the academy requests the submission of your identity data. Would you like to submit it?]

“Yes.”

[Code verification, submitting data.]

Just as I think I can relax while waiting a little longer, leaning back against the chair attached to Bungbungi.

“Hey, kid.”

“…?”

“Yeah, I’m talking to you, kid. Can’t hear because you’re so small?”

Taunting voices and giggles fly towards me from that direction.

When I turn my head to see where the sound is coming from, three boys are huddled together, snickering at me.

“Ha ha, that’s right. This isn’t a place for kids, is it? What are you thinking?”

“Exactly, a nobody who doesn’t even live in prestigious Sunrise Street is honestly just a sight to behold, trying to act all high and mighty!”

As they provoke me, I couldn’t help but smack my forehead.

Right, I just remembered these guys.

The trio of ruffians who think they’re so great and troll countless times throughout academy life. They were coming at me now.
