Five years before the Monster Apocalypse, there lived a man around twenty years old who cared for a small boy who looked about twelve or thirteen
"I wonder if I'll ever become as strong as you, Elder Brother," the boy said.
"Maybe one day," the man replied with a chuckle. "Once you graduate from the academy, you can talk all you want about strength."
Soon, the towering walls of the academy came into view. They approached the guard.
"Hey, is this the Academy of Triphle?" the man asked.
The guard squinted at him. "Wait… aren't you that prodigy from the prestigious Royal Presence School?"
"Have we met before?" Tod asked.
"Just head right in," the guard said.
Tod walked his brother, John, onto campus before leaving for his own school. John stared at the thick piece of paper he had been given, carefully checking his schedule.
"Hmm… Class 1-C. Alright."
He set off to find his classroom.
