I hit the nail on the head with 10,000 Pron. It’s easier to see now.
Today is the day when the long-awaited Stellarium written exam will be held. I soothed my mind and body by taking the Cheongsimhwan (a similar-looking tranquilizer) that Sonia gave me.
“Little brother, if you don’t come out quickly, I’ll leave you alone.”
I opened Seti’s door wide. Seti, who was busy packing, frowned when he saw me and threw his pillow.
“Get out of my room.”
“Little brother.”
“That’s enough, just stay away!”
Hmm.
It didn’t seem like he was angry simply because he disliked me.
Anyway, everyone is sensitive on the day of the exam.
“But still, little brother. Aside from the androids that serve you, there are only two Rhinelanders here, you and me. “How sad would your parents be if we were fighting like this when the two of us couldn’t do anything?”
“I don’t think it would be worse than wasting 2 trillion credits.”
“That guy, he’s hitting his bones.”
Seti stuffed the incorrect answer note into her backpack. There is dusk around her eyes. You seem quite tired.
She said grumblingly.
“I couldn’t sleep a wink because of you.”
“Why?”
“Don’t try to find out.”
“Actually, I don’t really want to know.”
So we got on the spaceship, chatting to each other.
Even though they fought, fought, and supported each other, they were still siblings. They hold on to each other in the face of the huge challenge of college entrance exams.
Especially on such an important day, siblings must rely on parents who do not even send them a text message telling them to cheer up, let alone come in person.
“Do you think Mom and Dad know that today is our written exam?”
I didn’t answer.
From the moment he boarded the spacecraft, Seti was steadfast. She roughly fastened her seatbelt and hugged her legs.
The face is full of worry and anxiety.
I don’t think it can go on like this.
“The Black Blossom art part, it’s hard to watch again.”
“… ….”
“How do you understand all this?”
As I said that, she gently rolled her eyes. Seti, who had buried her head and was as still as plaster, raised her head and responded.
“… That’s stupid. All you have to do is memorize it all.”
As expected, there was a response when I talked about the entrance exam.
I continued speaking because I thought it was time.
“It’s difficult to memorize that.”
“The academy teaches memorization rules. Oh, you don’t know, do you?”
“I’m not good at memorizing things. Look.”
I showed him an art history workbook that I had read 10 times.
It is tattered. There are also a few torn places. It’s only been about 3 months since I bought it, but the book is already falling apart.
“The book is really dirty.”
“It means you looked at it this hard.”
“Is it because you can’t memorize a few simple things?”
Seti chuckled, unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up. She scanned my book at random, found the part that she particularly underlined, and started reading it.
“As star cluster manipulation technology developed, some members of the upper class began to draw pictures with constellations. This is called ‘star art’, and representative artists include….”
… While doing so, he told me the artists I had to memorize in a rhyming manner. Like a memorized rule created by another instructor at a large academy, it was stuck in her head.
“Thank you. “This is really easy to memorize.”
“I told you one thing, so you can help me too.”
Seti furrowed his brow and held out a physics workbook. She wiggled her hands as if she had tremors. It seems like she’s quite embarrassed to learn something about her from the bastard child Del.
“… This, this. Number 157.”
“Is it difficult?”
“I did everything I could after reading the commentary. “I didn’t know until the end.”
“Epsilon over pi squared….”
“Hey, you son of a b*tch-! “Don’t tell me the answer first!!”
***
After a long voyage, she arrived at her destination.
“Wow.”
Me and Seti were amazed at the panoramic view of Stellarium.
It’s round.
High and big.
The outside is shiny.
The identity of Stellarium Academia Campus was an artificial celestial body floating in the middle of space.
And three rocky planets around it.
“That’s all college.”
If the Academy is a place for high school students to study, the College is a space for college students.
But the size of a university campus is the size of three Earths.
After looking at the college for a while, I shifted my gaze back to the Academia campus.
In the novel, all kinds of descriptions and settings were used to express that. What about titanium refined with ether? How about 1/3 the size of the moon’s radius? What is the rotation speed and orbital speed? As he did so, he devoted three pages to it.
Well, that kind of setup game is okay.
The visual is just like the Death Star.
“It’s crazy.”
It was so eye-opening that I was thankful that I was possessed for the first time.
[Entering Stellarium orbit. Passengers, please wear your seat belt.]

Many thoughts came to mind as I was drawn in by the gravity created by the artificial planet.
The reason Seti wants to enter Stellarium is to solidify her position in her family. To put it more succinctly, it’s because she wants to be loved by her father and mother.
Only in this way will her situation improve as a result of an arranged marriage. Nothing more or less than simply a link between the two families, he will be able to exert influence as a member of the Rhineland family.
Compared to Seti’s grand dream, I am nothing.
f*ck, I don’t want to get pregnant.
Soon, the arduous landing process came to an end. I took a step forward, suppressing my eyes that were fluttering from dizziness.
“Hey, I forgot my bag.”
“Ah. Thank you.”
We checked once again the things we had brought, including the exam certificate, and then moved on. Sethi took the lead and I took the back. It moved about 50cm away. However, since the androids were filling in the gaps, it didn’t look too awkward.
“Ah, it’s the Rhineland.”
I see people getting excited when they see the color of our eyes.
Now a familiar sight.
Ignore it and pass by.
Because the written exam is common to all, seats are assigned according to the exam number. Because Sethi and I applied at almost the same time, our test numbers were only 2 different.
The difference was quite large.
“The line has changed.”
Seti sat in the second seat from the back in the third row, so I was in the front seat in the fourth row. When I looked behind her, Seti shrugged her shoulders and blinked her eyes.
And then an unexpected person took the seat between us.
“Huh, sister?”
Seti was quite surprised and hugged the person who was trying to sit in the back seat tightly. Because of the joy in the voice, I could tell who it was even without looking back.
“Rustilla is sitting right behind me? Oh my goodness, this is awesome. “Your luck is good today.”
“Hello, Seti. How have you been doing?”
“How have you been…. No, it was difficult for her without her sister during this time.”
Seti buried her head in Lu Stila’s chest. I don’t know if it was because of that, but she immediately caught the attention of the test takers. At the same time, I was finally able to realize what the tactile visualization taught in literature was.
Rustila looked more tired than Seti. Her face is as white as milk, and her eyes are as cloudy as mixed latte.
At least she must have been captured by her parents.
It seems that the threat I made to the androids of the Kersil family was heard at that time. Ru Stila may have only helped her breathe for a while, but it backfired in some ways.
Of course, even that was expected and attempted. Because right then, Lustila’s face was on the verge of going crazy. If she could have seen her mental readings she would have been at something like 1 out of 100.
This is exactly why I had to pass Stellarium.
[— Reward: SAN parameters unlocked]
If you pass Stellarium, you will receive new parameters as a reward from foreign media.
If you open this SAN parameter, you will be able to see the other person’s mental level in real time. Then, it becomes possible to determine who has been caught by foreign media and who needs to receive mental care first.
You cannot make a gravity bomb alone. I need help from people who will be my future colleagues. Their mental care is something only I can do as I am not affected by PN levels.
Anyway.
“Sister, no. Rustilla. “Let’s stick together.”
“Okay….”
If you want to help those two devastated-looking girls, you must first save yourself. I repeat this over and over again, but if you fail here, you will be neither porridge nor rice.
It was a time when I was composing myself with those thoughts.
“Oh my, I see you here.”
A voice that was unfamiliar but one I had heard before entered my ears.
I turned my head.
Silver hair in contrast to Rustilla’s blonde hair. Purple eyes reminiscent of amethyst. The girl approached me in a strange trajectory. The oppressive atmosphere unique to a prestigious family feels bloody.
“Is it just one week? “There are all these coincidences.”
Yes, there are all kinds of coincidences.
“Do you know my name?”
“Zernya.”
“It’s an honor to be remembered.”
The girl unpacked her luggage and sat down in the seat right next to me, that is, in the third row and first row. Even though the air inside her room was moderately warm, she did not fully untie her scarf from around her.
Zernya placed her writing pad on top and crossed her arms. Then she just slightly turned her head and looked at me.
“What’s bothering Seti…?” That’s enough. “It’s not like there were any ill feelings anyway.”
“… ….”
“Instead, I became interested in you.”
She finished her sentence with her creepy smile.
“I’ll step on you properly this time.”
Oh.
I really like it.
