Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Love at First Sight

Today was the first day of school at the Imperial Kronin Academy. The best children from all over the empire were gathering here to undertake an important journey in their lives.
As the Empire's top academy, Kronin Academy, named after the Empire's capital Kronin, was established in the mountains near the capital and had trained generations of outstanding students for the Empire.
Among them, the most well-known one was the Department of Magic.
In 493 of the New Calendar, the Imperial Crown Prince Lankershuli also entered the magic department of Kronin Academy.
"Your Highness, it is a great honor to study with you!"
Lankershuli recognized the person in front of him. He was the eldest son of Grand Duke Kahn, who could be said to have been sent to Kronin Academy to study as a hostage to the royal family, and had to wait until Grand Duke Kahn died before he could return to the family domain to inherit the title.
"No need to be polite, in the academy, we are all equally students." Lankershuli's face was a flawless smile as he replied indifferently.
[Great to be able to share a class with Your Highness. If I could become friends with Your Highness during my studies, it would be a great help to the family.]
A darker tone than the ordinary voice entered Lankershuli ears, but his expression did not change in the slightest. Still wearing a spring-like smile, and after a few words of reassurance, he went to his seat and sat down. Then he opened his book and pretended to read, cutting off the possibility of others striking up a conversation.
Although the class had not yet started, the classroom was still quiet, and everyone sat silently in their seats, because the heir of the empire, Lankershuli, was in the class.
But for Lankershuli, the noisy sound here was no different from a disturbance. The whole classroom was filled with people's inner voices.
[His Highness Lankershuli is so handsome, completely different from the others. The same school uniform looks really different on him. Shining.]
That was because his clothes material were specially tailored. The material, although didn't show any difference from the surface, had a certain protection ability, were more difficult to wrinkle, and also secretly more bright in color.
The reason why you would feel it shiny, was also because of the fabric!
[I didn't expect to be in the same class as His Highness the Crown Prince, what a stroke of luck! If only I could become friends with His Highness during these five years of study!]
Good idea. If you wanted to become a friend, then show extraordinary ability.
[Ah, what can I do to attract His Highness' attention? I'm going to make new clothes today. What's His Highness' favorite color?]
What a nutritionless spam message.
Lankershuli sighed silently, bored with his vulgar fellow classmates.
He had thought that school would be a more interesting place, but it turned out that it wasn't much different from the palace.

Lankershuli had the ability to see through people's minds since he was a child. He had grown up hearing such voices that he could act as if nothing had happened now.
This ability could be considered a blessing from the gods, passed down from generation to generation among the direct lineage of the Kronin royal family, and the one who had Mind Reading would become the Crown Prince of the Empire.
For the king who would be in charge of the entire empire, Mind Reading could be like wings to a tiger. It could be said that the person with this ability is the Chosen King.
And with Mind Reading, Lankershuli, was the crown prince of this generation.
Lankershuli carelessly flipped through the books in his hands, but did not take in a word. His ears were surrounded by a variety of voices, the vast majority of which was related to him.
These he was also accustomed to. After all, he was the empire's crown prince. He had long been accustomed to being the center of the attention. If anything, someone who was not thinking about him would be stranger.
Even though there was nothing new in what these people were thinking, he listened to the people around him a little more carefully on the first day, trying to find some of them who would be good enough for him to take under his wing.
Even if his crown prince's position is unbreakable, he still need some competent people to help him dominate the empire. Since he already came to the the academy, taking this opportunity to find some people was not a waste of time.
The first class' teacher entered the classroom while Lankershuli was evaluating the classmates, and the first class at Kronin Academy began.
The first lesson was a not at all attractive introduction to the history of Kronin Academy. Before even a few minutes past, the thoughts of the students in the class had all flown halfway. Lankershuli also resumed listening to the thoughts of the people around him.
[This class is really sooooo boring. Better watch an anime.] A voice came into Lankershuli's ears.
Anime? What is this?
Lankershuli concentrated his mind. Immediately, various images appeared in his mind. He searched a bit and found that strange thing.
This was also a form of Mind Reading. As long as he concentrated, he was able to see the images in others' minds.
When he first had Mind Reading, Lankershuli could not control his ability and often saw the thoughts inside surrounding people's minds, but after all these years' exercise, he was able to maintain the ability to read minds at a minimum of 'hearing' rather than 'seeing'.
If not necessary, he did not have the patience to 'see' others' thoughts.
Among all the thoughts he had 'seen', there was never such a oddity.
Lankershuli could not help but focus his attention on this never-before-seen object.
This was a rectangular canvas-like thing. The canvas painted an odd-looking teenager. His body proportions were very incongruous. The head looked too large. He was wearing a dress-like blouse. The young girl beside him did not look like a human, either. She seemed to have rhinoceros-like horns on her head.
Was this a fairy tale for children?
Then, the teenager on this canvas suddenly moved and said: [There is always only one truth!]
What is this, what is this thing?
Lankershuli had never seen such a thing. If not for his extraordinary self-control, he might have had an outburst.

[shi n ji tsu wa i tsu mo hi to tsu!] That unknown mind voice also called out.
Lankershuli: ????
In the past fifteen years, Lankershuli had seen the minds of countless people, but was never as confused as this moment.
What was this saying? What was this moving? What was he seeing?
Without giving Lankershuli much time to react, the teenager on rectangular canvas moved again. The canvas slowly showed the teenager named Shinichi in the amusement park encountered a murder.
For the rest of the class, Lankershuli completely abandoned all outside noise and immersed himself in the world of anime with the unknown classmate.
It was so good to watch.
Lankershuli read widely, but he had never seen such a heart-wrenching story.
Although he didn't know what the roller coaster was, when he saw the end, the murderer knelt down in the lilting but still sad music, tearfully crying about her motive for killing, Lankershuli, who always advocated strict laws, couldn't help but be soft-hearted.
When you think about it, wasn't it justifiable that she wanted revenge killing after being dumped by her boyfriend. After all, what she lost was a true love!
Next was the teenager and his horned girlfriend dating.
Although this did not look like a stage play, it was almost the end.
Lankershuli could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to find that he had been dazed for nearly ten minutes.
This was not good. As the crown prince, he was rightfully required to always maintain his pose...... Huh?
I didn't expect that the teenager who was dating just now was knocked out by two men in black and dosed with poison!
What the hell was happening after this?
Just then, the teacher on the podium said something. The exciting drama paused instantly and stopped at the shot of the teenager falling to the ground.
Lankershuli: "......"
He choked. What really would happen after that?
"...... So, we are not against falling in love, but it can not affect the study." The teacher on the podium said.
[Why fall in love? Were the games not fun, or animes not fun? As long as I can continue to binge-watching them, I can be single for life!]
Lankershuli felt that the unknown classmate was just too right!
If he could also watch such stories in his head every day, women were just illusions. Falling in love was nothing! He can watch them for the rest of his life!
If he could have this person always by his side, wouldn't he be able to watch this weird thing every day?
Who was it? Who was this person having weird stories inside her mind?
The teacher on the podium chatted about love, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly heated up. In the end, they were fifteen-year-old teenage boys and girls, so they couldn't help but throw out their questions.
Lankershuli also took the opportunity to look sideways, trying to find the person who had a rich inner world.
[Oops the prince turned back. Side face killing oooooooh!] The familiar voice sounded again.
What was side face killing?
Lankershuli wondered while determining the person's general location in the classroom.
[The prince is really handsome. I didn't expect there would be such a handsome person in the world. I have a crush! I'm really a superficial person!]
The voice came into Lankershuli's ears again.
[I back out! If it's a super handsome guy like the prince, I can fall in love again! Your Highness the Crown Prince I like you! Please fall in love with me!]
Lankhewari: Yes! I accept your love confession!
The bell rang exactly and Lankershuli stood up. He looked around the classroom, trying to find the girl who was mutually in love with him.
The classroom, which should have been buzzing with the bell, was silent as the ice blue eyes crossed over everyone.
[What's wrong with His Highness? Is he looking for someone?]
[His Highness doesn't look too happy? Is it because we made too much noise at the end?]
[Did His Highness see me? Oh no, I didn't bring the earrings that match my skin tone best today!]
[I'm now acting like I'm studying hard, hoping His Highness will notice me.]
No, he just wanted to find his freshly minted girlfriend.
Wasn't it too bad that, he couldn't even figure out what his girlfriend looked like, even though he had decided to fall in love with her?
