"I will have to make everyone aware of the new changes we have done," Satoru muttered to himself while walking down the hallway.

He rubbed his hand over his head. He was striding along the floor by taking long steps.

"New changes?"

"The Protocols." Satoru turned his head, "You remember then?" He asked.

"Aahh. No, I do not. I only remember a few."

"There are only a few." Satoru turned his head, looking straight ahead.

He lifted his wrist, "They should be here by now," while looking at his watch, he muttered, "We will go straight to the auditorium." He told Ryan.

'Is not that the place where we were headed?' Ryan tilted his head, he frowned.

Satoru took Ryan to the backstage of the auditorium which Ryan had never seen. There were guards standing on the door, inside the backstage, outside the backstage.

"You go back to your friends. Tell them I made a mistake in my calculations but got you involved in it for nothing." Satoru looked in Ryan's eye, "Most would not have even understood what I said, the rest who did would not ask you anyway."

Japanese people. Most of them do not like to socialize. They are happy in their own lives, busy with their own work, and relationships.

"I will say it was just a mistake." Ryan bowed, "Later." he left backstage and headed towards the auditorium's hall.

Ryan saw that students were yet to arrive. American students were yet to arrive. Japanese students, who were living in Tokyo, were already present there.

Ryan tried not to stare hard at the beautiful and developed Japanese girls. There were not more than 10 girls present there.

Obviously, after the attack Ainz was involved, many Japanese students lost their lives.

'I do not feel guilty about their deaths,' Ryan thought, 'But I would have been able to save them.'

Okay, I do not want you to take this as, 'Oh, Ryan just got the sense of being a hero.'

No. If he can do something, he will do it. Ryan will not go out of his way to help someone just to become a 'Hero.' He would not.

The Japanese male students gave Ryan looks. There were all kinds of people- shy, jolly, athletic, angry, delinquents, friendly. And they all looked at Ryan even if it was for a second.

'Damn, this feels awkward.' Ryan dropped his head down and continued walking till he reached the end of the hall, to the corner.

Ryan finally lifted his head. He felt someone stare at him, he turned his head in the left direction. Ayami dropped her head down.

'So much shit going in my life.. I forgot I saved a Devil.' Ryan sighed, he turned his head away from her.

He took his seat on the chair. Slowly, the hall started filling up. Japanese students entered first followed by American students.

Japanese teachers went backstage, half of the American teachers were gathered at the front of the auditorium, rest gathered at the back of the auditorium.

Doc was present too. She did not even try to find Ryan in the field. She was busy with her own things. Still wearing the same clothes she does every day.

Ryan found his heart beating against his chest after his eye met Doc's face. 'Calm down, young man. What is wrong with you?' Ryan patted his heart a few times.

"Ryan!" The sweet familiar voice, "What happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Gwen had arrived near Ryan.. alone. Rigid and Rosy were standing on the other side.

"Oh-oh, Gwen." Ryan grabbed her hand, pulled it down, and tried calming her, "It, I am okay. See, I am not hurt. Nothing happened."

"Really?" She asked with that same puppy face again.

"Yep. Actually, Satoru-san wanted to talk to me about something. He had called me early, but I missed cause sleeping with you felt so cozy and comfy."

"Gosh, do not flirt here!" She grabbed Ryan's hand and rolled her eyes, trying to hide her grin. She dropped her head down and let a smile spread over her face.

"Not flirting. Just saying what is true. I am just telling you the facts, I do not flirt." Ryan shrugged.

"Yeah, smarty." Gwen smiled shyly.

'Oh, so she, too, gets shy when I do this in public. Or else, she is a devil in private.' Ryan thought.

While Ryan was busy with his girlfriend, the real Devil was seeing this.

She had already seen Ryan kiss Doc passionately. And when she saw Gwen getting shy and Ryan grinning like a fool, she realized what was going on.

'He is two-timing!' She concluded, 'He has an affair with his teacher, and he has an affair with his classmate too!'

Cough.

Satoru coughed on the mic to catch everyone's attention. Everyone went silent, except for Gwen.

"What did he want to talk about? If you can tell me, but do not lie."

"Oh, I would not lie to you," Ryan turned his head at the stage, "You will see what he wanted to show me. The Tokyo Academy's dungeon."

Gwen's eyes went wide, 'Dungeon?' Dungeon, in a place like a school. Is that even possible? Which school would make a dungeon?

"Morning everyone. As usual, the subtitles will be displayed on the screen above my head." Satoru started, "Today, is the opening ceremony of our Academy."

On the day the American students arrived, there was a huge crowd in the auditorium. But after Ainz's attack, things have changed. The auditorium is half empty.

"For the starters, I would like to discuss the new Protocols of 2071." Satoru continued, "As you know, I have talked about this before also, we have launched some new protocols and I want to go through them once again as we will be acting on the protocols starting today."

Satoru pulled out a pad and started reading, "Let me call the protocols once again." He looked at the pad, "First one is, Strict training sessions. Weekends are cut down to Sunday only. All the best." he said sarcastically.

"Moving forward, second protocol. The dorms you will live in will turn into hostels. No one will be able to leave the Academy for any reason. Everything will be provided inside the Academy," he dropped his head down again, "You will see what I mean."

"Okay next, because of the recent attacks and deaths of Japanese students because of no fundamental protection, we will be installing VIP rooms for everyone.

"The fourth Protocol is the new concept of allowance. Money management has been a case study no one teaches about in your teenage life which is the most important time.

"Students will be granted 4500 Yen per month. Which is equal to around 40 dollars per month for American students. I know it is too little for you, but believe me, it is enough for teenagers to live in Japan.

"The fifth Protocol, new ID cards. I will explain it in detail do not worry.

"Then to the sixth and the last protocol, Second-year students will be allowed to go on Monster Expeditions and Beast hunting Quests."
