So, it wasn't an academy solely for nobles, Damien realized.
"Although many students come from affluent backgrounds, the world outside the academy is just an ordinary city. You'd have opportunities to experience general, everyday life if you step outside. Even within the academy, there are plenty of the second-class citizens working as staff, so I don't think you'd have any difficulty getting to know this world and growing accustomed to it."
"Wait! You can leave the academy grounds?" Damien asked, surprised.
He had imagined such prestigious schools to be isolated and cut off from the outside world.
"Yes," Theo replied with a nod. "All you'd need is a simple permit to go out. In fact, as a 'student of the academy,' your status would make it easier to go outside compared to being seen as 'My lover,' leaving the estate in secret."
So it was like how elite students in prestigious schools back in his world could walk around the city freely.
