After Lyria took the seat next to me, students began filling the grand auditorium one by one.

Some, like me, wore extravagant outfits, indicating their intention to attend the graduation party. Others chose modest dresses or formal uniforms, suitable enough for the occasion without being too flashy.@@novelbin@@

Around 10-20% of the attendees stuck with their Academy uniforms, most of them commoners.

‘For commoners, even one formal dress can be a financial burden.’

Many of them likely had no room in their budgets to prepare party attire, given that they would have to return to their hometowns or find work immediately after graduation.

If this were a female-oriented romance fantasy game, there would probably be a male character gifting a dress to a commoner heroine. Unfortunately, Luminor Academy was a male-oriented game—and an adult one at that.

...That wasn’t to say there were no romantic arcs between commoner girls and noble boys, though.

“Hey, Cedric… Do I have to wear this? It’s way too frilly and doesn’t suit me at all…”

“You look stunning, Kael. I feel like showing everyone that you’re my girlfriend. So don’t say it doesn’t suit you.”

“W-What are you saying? Don’t say stuff you don’t mean…”

Seeing them cling to each other was endearing, even without my involvement.
