~ Adult |
Adult (大人) is a pretty common term used amongst the residents of Kivotos.
General Information
The term "adult" is mostly pretty straightforward and similar to its real life meaning. It means a person who is grown up, mature, or fully developed; a person who's lived life past a certain period, meaning they have more experience and understanding about how life works. The only difference however is that, besides humans, adults in Kivotos include, but are not limited to, various types of animals, automata, and certain eldritch humanoid beings.
Although the majority of Kivotos' inhabitants consist of students who control and tend to their respective schools, adults can normally be found throughout the Academy City, either selling products in their stalls, serving customers in stores, and other places where you'd normally see an adult in real life.
Additional Information
Mentioned during Volume 2 Chapter 2 Episode 10:
| “ | You're the teacher. The adult. You should be more logical, more rational than us kids. | ” |
~ Tsukatsuki Rio, to Sensei |
The statement implies that the students of Kivotos are in fact children, different than the adults of Kivotos, similar to real life.
While there are some students who are at least 18 years old such as Gehenna Academy students Kayoko, Makoto, and Hyakkiyako Academy delinquent Wakamo, this is merely a cultural difference in Kivotos regarding how ages are counted as all students are biollogically actually a year younger (partly due to the developers of the game living and working in Korea, where such a thing is still a cultural social norm, although the age reckoning method used in the country was changed in 2023 in order to bring it inline with international standards for government level stuff in Korea).
Sensei
The first adult introduced in the game, they were chosen as the club president/advisor of SCHALE, an extrajudicial body under the aegis of the General Student Council by its president prior to her sudden disappearance, with their role helping the academies that reside in Kivotos in their various issues. Although Sensei is among the many adults in Kivotos, they seem to be the only known human adult in Kivotos, with other adults being either animals or robots, with a few being unknown monster-like beings.
Master Shiba
The second adult who appears to be a dog, particularly a Shiba Inu. The original owner of Shiba Seki Ramen prior to Igusa Haruka blowing it up in Volume 1, he currently owns a ramen stall.
Kaiser PMC Director
The third adult and the first antagonistic adult introduced in the game. Appearing as a male robot, they are the director of Kaiser PMC, chief executive of Kaiser Corporation and Abydos High School's creditor.
Gematria
A mysterious group consisting of seven different adults with their own history and purposes who worked together for the name of research. Although it's unclear where they originate from, they claim themselves to be adults, much like Sensei. Black Suit, one of their members, believe that adults are those who are supposed to exploit those without knowledge and power, or in other words, students, to do their bidding, which contrasts Sensei's belief that adults are those who are supposed to be responsible for these poor students and is construed by Sensei as evil.
