The computers in the dormitory lounge are shared by the residents, where the students can study using software and gather information.
In addition to increasing your social stats, you can also learn skills useful in battle and exploration.
Characteristics
Allies who live together in the dormitory may acquire special skills called "traits." All of these effects are useful in battle, like "increasing the rate of critical attacks" and "reducing the SP cost for recovery skills." So if you have time, be sure to actively spend it with your friends.
People Met at School
Through his student life at Gekkoukan High School and his activities as a member of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, the protagonist will meet and interact with many people.
