Dialogue[]

(First interaction)

Mr. Arturo: *sigh* If this goes on, how will the students be able to hone their talents? This school is becoming worse with each passing day!

An elderly person is angrily muttering to himself, the halo above his head flickering discordantly with rage. However, when he spots you, he immediately stops what he's doing and puts on a polite countenance to greet you.

Mr. Arturo: Ahem! Do pardon my impoliteness. I am Arturo, the acting dean of Paperfold University. It's my pleasure to meet the Nameless from the Astral Express.

You know me?

Mr. Arturo: Of course! When a shareholder of Penacony personally visits my school, how could I, as dean, be caught unawares?

Where were you before?

Mr. Arturo: Well... I'm ashamed to say that I had run into some trouble...

Don't tell me that you're a monkey too.

Mr. Arturo: Absolutely not! Apart from unruly underachievers, the only things that I hate the most in my entire lifetime are monkeys!

Mr. Arturo: I was preparing to welcome all of you myself. However, the teaching devices that the Iris Family sent over suddenly went rogue and seized me!

Mr. Arturo: Those blasted devices tied my hands behind my back and stuffed my mouth with bananas... Ugh, I'll never eat another banana ever again.

Many things happened while you weren't around...

Mr. Arturo: So I've heard. You're referring to the memetic virus, right?

Mr. Arturo: In the Dreamscape, that thing is even more difficult to get rid of than gum on the bottom of your shoe. I can't imagine what would have happened if it were not for you and The Family.

Sounds terrible...

Mr. Arturo: Eh, my suffering is inconsequential when compared to the crisis that this university was put through. That darned memetic virus!

Mr. Arturo: In the Dreamscape, that thing is even more difficult to get rid of than gum on the bottom of your shoe. I can't imagine what would have happened if it were not for you and The Family.

So, we won't be able to attend a BananAdvisor's class ever again?

Mr. Arturo: My child, if you were to just experience an actual class from Paperfold University, you would have never thought of those monkeys as real teachers!

Mr. Arturo: And they brought the terrifying memetic virus along with them... In the Dreamscape, that thing is even more difficult to get rid of than gum on the bottom of your shoe. I can't imagine what would have happened if it were not for you and The Family.

Mr. Arturo: Upon returning to the university, I immediately gathered the heads of the school and conducted a meeting of retrospection. Ultimately, we came to a conclusion: The memetic virus was able to slip into the campus because the current cohort of students is too undisciplined!

Mr. Arturo: When I think about the class of students that I graduated with, I recall that the employment rate back then was a hundred percent! Two thousand people and not a single of them loafed around all day! And they all became the universe's elites!

Mr. Arturo: As for the students now? Why, less than half of them are employed! Some even left Penacony altogether in a severe case of brain drain!

Mr. Arturo: Students nowadays aren't interested in knowledge anymore. Instead, they like all sorts of strange subcultures, which act as the perfect fodder for breeding memetic viruses! Even if those BananAdvisors didn't exist, the students would still be led astray by some apple or pear advisors sooner or later!

Mr. Arturo: Therefore, in order to clean up such toxic influences once and for all, I have decided to draft 88 new school rules!

Mr. Arturo: From tomorrow onward, this school shall be managed as an enclosed institution! No student shall be permitted to leave the university and fool around with outsiders. Furthermore, not only will students be required to participate in morning runs, but they'll also have to send a photo of the dormitory to the counseling group chat every morning, afternoon, and night!

Mr. Arturo: Afternoon breaks will be shortened from two hours to thirty minutes. Class attendance shall no longer be taken via voiceprint. A three-factor authentication process that includes facial scanning, fingerprint recognition, and blood sample verification will be used instead. Failing to take one's own attendance or taking attendance on behalf of others is strictly prohibited. Students must also voluntarily attend nightly self-study sessions...

These measures sound quite extreme...

Mr. Arturo: Extreme? Since students nowadays have so many schemes up their sleeves, I have no other choice but to put my foot down!

That's all? Your measures do not go far enough!

Mr. Arturo: What...? I was somewhat worried that my measures were too extreme. I didn't expect you to say that they are not enough... No wonder you were able to become a shareholder of Penacony. Indeed, one must be hard on themselves in order to become successful.

Mr. Arturo: However, the vast majority of students aren't as enlightened as you are. These new rules alone are enough to make them cast off their old selves and be born anew.

Have you been infected by the Order?

Mr. Arturo: O—Order? That's not something to joke about! These rules will allow the current batch of students to excel. The teachers and academic leaders will also spare no effort in accomplishing this goal. Doesn't this plan exemplify the selfless ethos of Harmony!?

Mr. Arturo: Students must focus on their studies and stop thinking about useless stuff day in, day out! Everything that I'm doing is for Paperfold University, the whole of Penacony, and even the future of the universe!

Mr. Arturo sinks into hysteria once more and completely forgets about the etiquette of hospitality...

(Subsequent interactions)

(If Mr. Arturo's Emotion is set to Calm)

Mr. Arturo: There are still so many things waiting for me to approve... Oh, it's you.

I want to continue chatting with you.

Mr. Arturo: Go ahead. It'll also be an opportunity for me to rest my back.

What is it like being the dean?

Mr. Arturo: The dean, huh... Although it sounds like a powerful position, it is not as unrestrained as you would imagine. At least in Paperfold University, there isn't much that the dean actually has authority over.

Mr. Arturo: Above the dean, the various Lineages are closely monitoring the developments in Paperfold University. The rich and powerful are not people that the dean can offend...

Mr. Arturo: Beneath the dean, there are only so many professional teachers. The professors will leave if they are unhappy with anything...

Mr. Arturo: This is even before mentioning the endless mountain of requests waiting for my approval and the funding that always seems to be far from reach. It would give any person a major headache.

Mr. Arturo: But there's no way around it. The position of dean is a necessary one. If anyone is capable of taking over this headache from me, I wouldn't mind handing my position over to them.

What does Paperfold University teach?

Mr. Arturo: There are three academies at Paperfold University: Charmony Academy sponsored by the Iris Family, Dreamweaver Academy sponsored by the Nightingale Family, and Fortune Academy sponsored by the Alfalfa Family.

Mr. Arturo: The first academy to be established at Paperfold University was Dreamweaver Academy. It was also the only academy when the university was founded. Subjects such as Architecture, Urban Planning, and Dreamscape Content Design are taught here.

Mr. Arturo: Fortune Academy was added when the Alfalfa Family invested in the school as a stakeholder. Subjects such as Economics, Accountancy, and Finance and Trust Management are taught here.

Mr. Arturo: Unfortunately, there isn't much emphasis placed on ethics in Fortune Academy's courses. As a result, many notorious galaxy-class financial criminals are alumni of the academy. This has led to it being jokingly referred to as the "most Penaconian" academy, as some of the students have actually become prisoners.

Mr. Arturo: Later, Charmony Academy was established when Penacony became the Planet of Festivities. Charmony Academy is mainly responsible for nurturing talented musicians, singers, and artists. Miss Robin is one of our honorary alumni.

Mr. Arturo: You can go check out the classes for all three academies. Perhaps you might even learn something about our newest subject, Industrial Pipeline of Memory Bubbles. This is knowledge that you'll not be able to obtain anywhere else.

That's all for now.

Mr. Arturo: Okay, take care. *sigh* My back...

Take care.

Mr. Arturo: You too. *sigh* My back...

(If Mr. Arturo's Emotion is set to Angry): Mr. Arturo: *sigh* My back is starting to hurt again. Tell me, of what use is this anger I feel every day...; Take care.

(If Mr. Arturo's Emotion is set to Happy): Mr. Arturo: But since I see that they're able to fend for themselves, there's nothing for me to worry about, haha!; Take care.

(If Mr. Arturo's Emotion is set to Sad): Mr. Arturo: True talent is not something that can be taught in schools...; Take care.

Clockwork[]

Activate Clockwork

Calm

Mr. Arturo coughs quietly and puts on a composed front, but a hint of embarrassment that he fails to hide betrays him.

Mr. Arturo: As we get older, we sometimes fail to control our emotions... Perhaps it's about time that I look for a successor.

Angry

Mr. Arturo: Tsk... People say that things taught in school are useless, but I'm well aware of that fact, too.

Mr. Arturo: Living in this world, everyone has to set sail into the vast world someday. Since I cannot offer them a boat to help them overcome the choppy waters, all I can do is to teach them how to stay afloat in hopes that they will not drown.

Mr. Arturo: Even if some of them manage to make it to the opposite shore, the one who has benefited will be them and not me... After achieving success, how many of them would even be willing to return and contribute to their alma mater? There's simply too many things I need to worry about!

Mr. Arturo: *sigh*... My back is starting to hurt again. Tell me, of what use is this anger I feel every day...

Happy

Mr. Arturo: Ha, that brat Chad sent me a video saying that he's about to start a career as something called a "party and entertainment streamer." That sounds like a job title that he came up with himself...

Mr. Arturo: But I have to say, his video is quite amusing. Why have I never come up with the idea of having a cake eat a person!?

Mr. Arturo: He says that given time, he'll definitely become the top streamer in this niche industry. That way, he'll truly live up to his title of "Paperfold University's Party King."

Mr. Arturo: I don't expect him to reach the top of his field. I just want him to be able to feed himself. But now, it seems like I have indeed been worrying a little too much, haha!

Sad

Mr. Arturo: *sigh* ...It's not only the students who don't study. Even with the collection of books in this room, I barely get a chance to flip through them. I'm starting to feel a little sorry for the predecessors who have painstakingly gathered the books.

Mr. Arturo: With such a learning environment, how can anyone calm themselves and properly focus on learning?

Mr. Arturo: Perhaps someday in the future, if Paperfold University can produce a true talented genius, the situation in Penacony might take a turn for the better.

Mr. Arturo: It's such a pity that true talent is not something that can be taught in schools...
