As Professor Kaelus Renn finished the final section of the lecture, the floating projections slowly dimmed one after another.
Students began saving notes to their i-bracelets while several discussions immediately started around the classroom.
"Military sandboxes still dominate the market though…"
"Yeah but AI-assisted emotional engines are growing."
"No way emotional games can outperform combat sims."
Krishna quietly organized his notes.
"...."
Most of the class still hadn't realized—The person sitting among them was literally preparing to enter the gaming industry himself.
Just then—The classroom doors opened again.
Another trainer stepped inside.
The moment Professor Kaelus saw him, he paused and walked over.
The two exchanged a few quiet words.
Then Kaelus's eyes scanned across the classroom.
Passing row after row—Until they landed on Krishna.
Who at the moment looked completely immersed in reviewing the AI framework notes he had taken earlier.
Kaelus gave a small nod toward the other trainer.
The trainer immediately understood.
Then he stepped forward and clapped his hands lightly.
"Everyone, pay attention for a moment."
The classroom slowly quieted down.
Several students looked confused.
The trainer activated a holographic notice in the center of the room.
A familiar logo appeared.
The logo of Star Entertainment.
The atmosphere instantly changed.
Whispers exploded around the room.
"No way…"
"Star Entertainment?"
"The Hangover studio??"
"WAIT WHAT?"
Even students from the back straightened immediately.
The trainer raised his hand for silence.
"This is an official recruitment announcement."
That alone made several students sit upright instantly.
The trainer continued calmly,
"Star Entertainment is currently preparing to expand into the game industry."
Now the room fully erupted.
"What?!"
"They're making games?!"
"NO WAY."
One student nearly dropped his tablet.
Another whispered excitedly:
"If their games are even half as creative as their movies…"
The trainer continued before the noise grew worse.
"Interested students may apply through the official academy recruitment portal."
A holographic application link appeared above them.
"Selected candidates will proceed to interviews within the next few days."
Immediately dozens of students started opening the link.
The classroom atmosphere transformed completely.
Some looked nervous. Some excited.
Some already discussing ideas.
One student whispered loudly.
"Bro imagine getting hired by Star Entertainment before graduation."
Another muttered,
"That's basically winning life."
Meanwhile—Krishna simply sat quietly in his seat.
Because unlike everyone else—He already knew the announcement was coming.
After all—He was the reason for it.
The Entertainment System suddenly appeared beside him wearing sunglasses and holding a fake microphone.
[And here we observe…]
It gestured dramatically toward the panicking students.
[…the natural habitat of future overworked developers.]
Krishna ignored it.
"...."
But he couldn't deny—Seeing the excitement in the room felt strangely satisfying.
Near the front row, one student suddenly froze while staring between the announcement and Krishna.
Then his eyes widened slowly.
"…Wait."
Another student followed his gaze.
Then another.
And another.
Until realization slowly spread through portions of the classroom like wildfire.
One guy whispered in disbelief.
"Hold on… Isn't Krishna…"
The room slowly became quieter.
"...."
"...."
"...."
Because for the first time—Many of them finally understood.
The opportunity standing in front of them…
Was sitting among them the entire time.
As the class slowly came to an end,
The atmosphere inside the Game Development classroom had completely changed from before.
Earlier it had been just another lecture.
Now—It felt like opportunity itself had walked into the room.
Students quietly packed their things, but unlike usual, the noise level remained strangely restrained.
Because everyone's attention kept drifting toward one person.
Krishna.
Some students wanted to approach him immediately.
Some wanted to ask questions.
Some wanted to introduce themselves.
"...."
"...."
"...."
But none of them moved.
Not because they were scared—But because they didn't want to create an awkward impression before the recruitment interviews even began.
After all—This wasn't just some random campus job.
This was Star Entertainment.
The same studio that had shaken UniNet.
The same studio whose works were currently dominating discussions across galaxies.
For many of the students here—This wasn't merely recruitment.
It was potentially their breakthrough into the industry.
Near the back row, two students whispered quietly while pretending to organize their notes.
"You think they'll recruit many people?"
"I don't know… but even getting shortlisted would be insane."
Another student nervously refreshed his i-bracelet repeatedly.
"The application link still hasn't arrived yet…"
"Relax. The trainer said soon."
One guy muttered under his breath,
"If I get into Star Entertainment, I'm never leaving."
Another immediately replied,
"Same."
Meanwhile Krishna calmly stood up from his seat.
No dramatic behavior. No special treatment.
Just gathering his notes normally.
But the moment he stood—Several eyes followed him instinctively.
The Entertainment System suddenly appeared beside him wearing a fake recruiter uniform and holding a clipboard.
[Hmm yes…]
It pretended to inspect the classroom dramatically.
[Future sleep-deprived developers detected their slave master.]
Krishna ignored it and slung his bag over his shoulder.
As he walked toward the exit, students subtly moved aside to let him pass.
Not out of fear. Respect.
Curiosity.And maybe a little awe.
Because sitting among them this entire time—Was someone already changing the entertainment industry.
The moment Krishna stepped out of the classroom—Dozens of i-bracelets across the room vibrated simultaneously.
The application link had arrived.
Instant chaos erupted.
"IT'S HERE!"
"Open it!"
"What are the requirements?!"
Students immediately began reading through the recruitment notice frantically.
Some already started updating portfolios on the spot.
One student nearly shouted while reading:
"They're asking for creativity modules and adaptive design understanding!"
Another groaned dramatically.
"I should've taken environment scripting seriously…"
Meanwhile Krishna had already entered the corridor heading toward his next subject:
Self-Defense Combat Training.
Compared to the excitement behind him—The hallway ahead was calmer.
But inside his mind—Plans were already moving forward.
Movies.
Games.
Music.
Expansion.
The Entertainment System casually walked beside him with its hands behind its head.
[You know…]
It glanced back toward the classroom.
[You just accidentally became half this department's career goal.]
Krishna sighed quietly.
-Sigh!
"That wasn't intentional."
The System grinned hearing his answer.
[-GRIN!]
[Haha!!! I believe You.]
Meanwhile...
The firestorm across UniNet still hadn't settled.
If anything—It had become uglier.
And more desperate.
🌐 UniNet – New Announcements...
Only days after the explosive success of The Hangover—Several major studios fromSector 28
suddenly began announcing new movies.
And strangely—Almost all of them shared the same pattern.
Adult comedy.
Chaotic friend groups.
Wild party settings.
"Unhinged" humor marketing.
Even their posters carried suspiciously familiar energy.
The audience noticed immediately.
And UniNet did what UniNet always did best.
It mocked mercilessly.
💬[ @CinemaGoblin: Damn they copied homework before the ink dried.]
💬 [@JerryGangPrime: BRO THE HANGOVER HASN'T EVEN FINISHED ITS RUN YET 😭.]
💬 [@ChaosPriest77: Sector 28 entered panic mode.]
💬 [@RingDingWarrior: They watched one successful comedy and immediately lost originality.]
One particularly viral meme showed a group of studio executives around a table labeled:
"Emergency Creativity Meeting."
Then below it—Just a giant screenshot of The Hangover poster.
🎙 LumiNyx Stream...
On stream, LumiNyx was already laughing before she even opened the article.
"-Hahaha!!!"
"No no no…"
She covered her face dramatically.
"This is TOO fast."
Chat exploded after her backing her claims.
💬 [@ViewerPrime: They speedran inspiration.]
💬 [@MemeDealerPrime: Not inspiration. Respiration. They gasping for air.]
💬 [@FreeSoul_77: Our prophet Krishna has created disciples.]
LumiNyx nearly choked laughing at that one.
Soon The Comparison War had started.
Soon audiences started openly comparing the newly announced projects with Star Entertainment's style.
And unfortunately for the major studios—The comparisons weren't kind.
💬 [@MovieCrawler: The difference is Hangover felt natural.]
💬 [@OldViewer88: You can imitate scenes. You can't imitate chemistry.]
💬 [@AllIsWellForever: Watch them spend 20x more credits to be half as funny.]
The Actors Factor was the thing these studio's tried to use.
The studios tried hard to counter the criticism by revealing famous actors attached to the projects.
Big names.
Award-winning performers.
Industry veterans.
Normally—That alone would dominate attention.
But now? The public response had changed.
💬 p@ChaosEnjoyer999: Cool actors. Still waiting to see if the movie has soul.]
💬 [@CinemaCore: Big cast ≠ good comedy.]
💬 [@WolfPackLegend: Hangover made us laugh with timing not status.]
Behind the scenes—Executives were furious.
Because audiences were no longer reacting to fame alone.
They were asking dangerous questions like:
• "Is it creative?"
• "Does it feel genuine?"
• "Is it just trend chasing?"
And those questions—Threatened the entire comfortable formula many studios relied on.
