The university system that we know of here doesn't exist in my world. [A pause here.] But there are some similarities. There was a single institution in the city of Aspio that could have qualified as 'higher education', if even, but it was mainly dedicated to the study of blastia and related topics. Smaller educational institutions were scattered

Does that mean you're not going?

[kyudousha]

Did I say that?

[resonancy]

Well, with that last bit... Er- sorry, I guess I assumed too quickly.

[kyudousha]

You did. But you had a basis to it. I really did already learn everything I needed to know.

[resonancy]

Did you attend that institution you mentioned?

[kyudousha]

The Imperial Blastia Research Academy? At one point, I was affiliated with it. By the time they got around to accepting me, I was already beyond their level of education.

-- Really? That's impressive... You're a pretty smart person, Rita.

[kyudousha]

[... she's a little flustered at that. Because to have a huge ego is one thing, but to hear confirmation from someone she considers an equal...?]

... Not that they were impressive anyway.

Are you going to attend school?

[resonancy]

Yeah, of course! I don't think it'll be anything like Shibusen, but I haven't gotten to do any real studying in ages! I just hope I haven't fallen behind in anything.

[kyudousha]

Huh. You're sure enthusiastic.

[resonancy]

Ahaha... I've always enjoyed school, and it's been so long, I'm glad there's finally something I can do here. Even if I am in a different world, I don't want to slack off on my studies.

[kyudousha]

Not a bad attitude to take. Favorite subject?

[resonancy]

Language and Literature has always been easy for me, so I tend to favor it more, but there isn't really anything I dislike too much either.

[kyudousha]

So, balanced too. I bet you were a favorite.

What's your take on science and technology?

[resonancy]

Hmm... sometimes it can get a little confusing, but if I read it over enough, I think I get the hang of it after a while. Ever since Professor Stein became our teacher, we had been doing a lot more science related projects than we used to...

[kyudousha]

Then I doubt you're thinking of a future in the sciences.

Still, though, I've met your Professor Stein, I think. Big guy, lab coat, screw permanently stuck in his head?
