Recounted image of the Instituion.
Roland Special Institute Number 307 is a former military orphanage operated by the Kingdom of Roland. Formally an orphanage for war orphans. In reality however, its nature was a far more insidious one. Those deemed useless were disposed of and those deemed useful were sold to noble families or sent to the front lines. At the end of the war, with the need and demand for soldiers extinguished, the institute was dismantled.
- quoted from Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu: Volume 2
One of the darkest secrets in the history of the Roland Empire.
That place was most suited to the term ‘Hell’.
On the surface, it looked like a kind facility that housed orphans who lost their parents in the long wars and nurtured them to survive…
But in fact, that wasn’t the case. Talented orphans were gathered here and ingrained with thorough military training. Once a child was deemed to be of low aptitude, the child would be immediately executed. The remaining few children who could survive would either be bought by the nobles for high prices or sent into war at a very young age…
- quoted from Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu: Volume 3
“Ryner Lute- The girl (young Milk) recognized the boy. In the Roland #307 Special Training Facilities, he was a famous youngster. Black hair and black eyes; a fit and lightweight body, and a pretty face that held a sense of righteousness.
Excellent results and a clear mind. Abnormally high combative abilities and magical knowledge. And an outstanding ability to survive.
He had always been the perfect exemplary model in this orphanage. Everyone always said that they aspired to become an existence like him.
He was different. He received special treatment from the orphanage.
A perfect fighting machine. No troubles. No fears. No mayhem.”
