[New Students] Noteworthy Freshmen - PART 1 [Discoveries!]

1. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

This thread is for discovering promising new students!

Cute ones, cool ones, strong ones, skilled ones—let’s dig them all up!

Please don’t post insults like "weak,” "shut-in,” "smelly,” or target people in a bad way.

However, people to watch out for or potentially dangerous ones can be mentioned—just no bashing.

Let’s help the new first-years feel at home at school.

Show them the dignity of awesome upperclassmen!

Ah, the princess really is the best. She’s adorable.

251. Anonymous, 2nd-year Combat student

Totally agree. I’m seriously jealous of the first-years who got in the same class as her.

252. Anonymous, 3rd-year Support student

Whoa, hold up. Class assignments don’t happen for another month, right? It’s too soon to be jealous.

Besides, we still have a chance.

253. Anonymous, 3rd-year Combat student

…Party… Guild.

254. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Exactly. We have to get the princess into our guild.

That way, we get to do teamwork stuff with the lovely princess all the time!

255. Anonymous, 2nd-year Music student

Gross. Don’t look at the princess with those dirty eyes.

It’s disrespectful. That’s execution-worthy, you know?

256. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Oh, you’re part of the royal guard? Sorry, I spoke out of line.

257. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Now that the princess’s royal guard is here, shall we move on?

258. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Still, this year’s freshmen girls are all really high level, huh?

259. Anonymous, 3rd-year Research Student

Huh?

260. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

N-No, I meant you know, in general they're also high level!

261. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Guys, remember this is both a discovery and a welcome thread. Let’s keep it friendly.

262. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

Well, I get that everyone's hyped.

The new student job evaluations are chaotic every year, right?

It’s like a mix of hype and jealousy.

263. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Can’t deny that. That’s why upperclassmen need to show some dignity.

264. Anonymous, 3rd-year Combat student

…MUSCLE WARRIOR!!

265. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

We’ve got another one exploding from jealousy. Give it a rest.

266. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Just give them honest praise.

To the first-year who became a Muscle Warrior, congrats.

267. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

Senpai, you’re so dignified. Much respect.

Whoa! A new Alchemist has appeared! And it’s a super cute loli!

Hold it, calm down. Anyone got info on her? Raise your hand.

343. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

…Looks like no one knows her.

344. Anonymous, 3rd-year Support student

A total unknown, huh. Not even any hometown connections?

Then everyone’s gonna want her.

Getting an Alchemist at the entrance exam is rare. Even though the requirements are known, it still depends heavily on talent.

And the guts to choose it without hesitation—impressive.

She’s gotta be incredibly gifted.

345. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

You're really laying it on thick.

But yeah, with that cute face, you’d totally get tricked, and suddenly she’d leave you in the dust.

346. Anonymous, 3rd-year Apothecary student

I like her. Maybe I’ll try to recruit her for our guild.

347. Anonymous, 2nd-year Alchemy student

That’s up to how each guild negotiates.

Pretty sure everyone—combat and production alike—wants her.

348. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

You can never have too many good members. But keep it respectful.

Upperclassmen need to show dignity. Don’t ignore how freshmen feel.

And don’t mess with her just because she’s cute. Control yourselves.

349. Anonymous, 2nd-year Alchemy student

We got it.

350. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

Senpai, you’re really mature.

382. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Big news! A first year with an insane job list just showed up!

383. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Boy or girl?

384. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Boy. Slim, but clearly trains.

Can’t say much about his face—let the girls decide—but he doesn’t look bad.

385. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Ugh, a guy? I don’t care unless it’s a cute girl.

386. Anonymous, 2nd-year Combat student

Agree. I don’t wanna hear about some winning dude!

387. Anonymous, 3rd-year Apothecary student

Ignore the idiots. So where’s the guy?

Oh, the Headmaster's getting involved—over there.

388. Anonymous, 2nd-year Alchemy student

Whoa, what’s that? How many jobs does he have?!

389. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Definitely the most ever.

At the entrance exam, most people have 20–30 jobs max since they haven’t had classes yet.

Even the record-holder didn’t reach 50.

390. Anonymous, 3rd-year Apothecary student

Who is this guy…? But he’s my type.

391. Anonymous, 2nd-year Combat student

Wait, what?

392. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Damn it! I hope this winning guy explodes or something!

393. Anonymous, 2nd-year Alchemy student

You’re the only one who needs to explode. Shut up.

394. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

Oh, here come the lab coat researchers.

Their eyes look insane. Kinda scary.

395. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

They’re taking notes like mad. And that guy just calmly lets them. That’s real poise.

Wish our upperclassmen would learn from that.

396. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

Who are those researchers?

397. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Oh, those are staff from the Research Tower. They study jobs.

Mainly investigating job unlock conditions or discovering new jobs.

They also help design first-year elective classes.

They’ve made some progress, but high-ranking jobs are still under research.

398. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

You know a lot, Senpai.

399. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

I am a senpai after all.

403. Anonymous, 3rd-year Apothecary student

That guy just picked Hero as his job!

404. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Huh!?

405. Anonymous, 2nd-year Combat student

You mean… that Hero!?

406. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

Not sure which one, but it’s the legendary job.

The one that supposedly conquered high-level dungeons with a Saint or something.

407. Anonymous, 3rd-year Traps student

Wait, that story was real!?

408. Anonymous, 3rd-year Research Student

That’s not the point! It’s Hero!! That’s incredible!

409. Anonymous, 3rd-year Apothecary student

We have to get him into our guild.

410. Anonymous, 3rd-year Research Student

No way, Hero-kun is joining ours.

411. Anonymous, 2nd-year Alchemy student

Excuse me? That’s our line.

412. Anonymous, 3rd-year Support student

Calm down. He might’ve already picked a guild.

Anyone know who he is? Raise your hand.

413. Anonymous, 2nd-year Production student

Another unknown?

414. Anonymous, 3rd-year Support student

Unbelievable. No one knows him?

This year’s gonna be wild.

415. Anonymous, 3rd-year Research Student

Wait, he’s leaving!

416. Anonymous, 3rd-year Apothecary student

Oh no, I just remembered something! Gotta go!

417. Anonymous, 3rd-year Research Student

Liar! You’re trying to chase after him alone!

418. Anonymous, 2nd-year Alchemy student

Not fair! We need to hurry too!

419. Anonymous, 3rd-year Production student

W-Wait, everyone! Don’t trouble the first-years!

Have some dignity as upperclassmen!

Yeah, nobody’s listening anymore.
