*Creak*
The door open and the homeroom teacher come in and start introducing himself.
"Welcome children, I'm George Solace and i will be your homeroom teacher during your time here. I will have you kids in groups of 5, so our class will have 6 groups, hopefully you will make friends and have a memorable time. I'll start reading your name and group, afterward your group will gather, you will have some group assignments in later classes"
....
"Kira Larkinson - Group 4"
"Kron Bergkamp - Group 4"
...
"Sarah Cavendish - Group 4"
....
"Valerius Messala - Group 4"
....
"Tiesto Numis - Group 4"
....
Kron is a lanky kind with unkempt brown hair and dark brown eyes, Sarah look fierced with shoulder length red hair and bright green eyes while Tiesto looked suave with medium length waves platinum blonde hair, they are all good looking with certain maturity for their age, courtesy to their higher class upbringing. In this age, with technology advancements, humanity can fix all the bad genes and have the best possible genes and looks, that's if they can afford all those genetic treatments or spending on their designer babies. In the original novel, the protagonist's 1st child was conceived at the cost of 4000 MTA credits or 14.4 trillions Bright Credits which is equal 100 years GDP of the Bright Republic.
As their group of 5 gathered at their designated desk, Kron is the first to speak out:
"Wow, 3 members out the founding families is our group and 1 from the famous Larkinson. Nice to see you again Sarah."
"It's just names and seeing we are all in Class E we are not that much different from commoners. And don't act like you really know me" - Sarah retorted.
"Ouch, that's hurt, but we are friends. Our families occasionally visit each others. And we went on holidays together just last monthhhhhhh" - Kron act exaggerated and totally opposite to his nerdy appearance.
"That's because our parents are colleagues and that trip was their shore leave"
"Sorry to intrude, but what do you mean by commoners? And please introduce yourselves" - Kira start getting annoy and had to speak out, but it's Tiesto the one to answer
"Oh, you are new to this circle, I think you are the 1st Larkinson to attend this school right? I'm Tiesto Numis from the Numis family, one of our state five remaining founding families which we usually called "The Five", that doesn't mean the other twelve families no longer exist anymore, it's just that they can no longer keep up their power, riches and prestige like the Numis, Tovar, Cavendish, Ramzi and Messala, they are just demoted to the 2nd spectrum of power and they are called "The Twelve", actually many of their descendants are studying here."
"Like Sarah said earlier, there's hierarchy in how we are assigned to each class. Class A is for descendants of very prominent members of The Five and The Twelve like their heirs or other leadership positions. Class B is for descendants of other important members of the The Five, The Twelve and other prominent families. Class C is for descendants of the promising members of the The Five, The Twelve and the emerging new families. Class D is for descendants of those with high positions but shallow heritage. And our class E is for us, those at the bottom of the prominent families, we have the names but so low in the list of our families grooming."
"My grandfather is the Numis current patriarch, but he has 22 sons and daughters, which my father is his youngest and he only hold a small managing position in one of our family establishments doing mech market analyzing and sale for our affiliated partners, so our immediate family doesn't get that much resources locate to us. We also have close to zero voice in our family policies making. It's my dream to have my own successful business and have other Numis look up to me."
"I'm Sarah Cavendish, and just like what he said, I'm in the same position too, my grandfather is the current patriarch's older brother, but as both he and my father aren't Mech pilots so they didn't get much attention from the family. My father is a commanding officer of the 7th Crater Maker, a land-bounded regiment belong to the 5th Havensworth Division, and it will be hard for him to get further promotion, so it's my dream to become a powerful mech pilot, if i can't become one then i want to be a high rank officer of the Mech Corps and command other Cavendishs."
"I'm Kron Bergkamp, my grandfather is Senior Mech Designer Dan Bergkamp, but my father is only an Apprentice Mech Designer when he's already in his 50s now, so all the grooming went to my first uncle who is already a Journeyman Mech Designer and my third uncle who is showing much better potential to break though to Journeyman. My father now serving as an in-house Mech Designer for the 7th Crater Maker, that make him and Sarah's father comrade-in-arms and we have been playing together ever since we were 3. We are frieeennnndssss right Sarah"
"Shut up before i beat you up"
"Don't be cold like that, you break my hearttttt.... Ouch ouch, stop punching me. So it's my dream to become a successful Mech Designer and i'll design a powerful mech just for you Sarah."
"Hah, stop dreaming, who want a mech design by you?"
*Cough*
"Ahem, my name is Valerius Messala, i'm from the branch family like you guys, my father is the director of one of our family shipyard orbit Bentheim III in Bentheim System. It's not an important one though, we mainly do decommission jobs or repairing old but still useable ships for re-sale."
"Wow, so your father do 2nd-hand ships business? Do you have fleet carrier? It's one of my dream to board on such impressive capital ship." - Kron exclaimed.
"No.... we only handle smaller ships, subcapital ships like combat carriers are the biggest we handle, and they are mostly decommissioned ships of the Mech Corp. Fleet carriers and other capital ships are sent to my uncle's drydock located at other side of Bentheim III. I want to become a ship designer and build the ships i designed, one day i'll design better capital ships than what other Messala ever did, they will be even better than the best the Republic can ever have."
'What the hell? These kids are talking unlike 6 years old kids at all, i feel like i'm talking to fellow transmigrator. Is this how those upper class teach their children?'
"Erm, i'm Kira Larkinson, i'm orfan, both my parents died in the last war, my father used to serve in the 3rd Stardust Ranger of the 4th Auxilia Hunter. You guys sure know a lot of difficult topics and have grand dreams."
"That's how it is with big families like us, our families are too big and there are too many members, so only those with best potential and achievements can gain recognition. My father taught me all those things and he told me to make good use of my time here to get more friends, who know if we can help others to rise up becoming even more prominent than our families." - Tiesto kindly explain.
"I believe we will do that. We are members from families of mech pilots, mech designer, military officers, shipbuilder and businessman. Such a perfect match." - Kira speak while beaming inside
'This is great, from what they show they should be dissatisfied with their main families. I should poach them and guide them toward my plans.'
