"I only told you that the skill tree was free. Not the training costs."
"How do I train?"
"You need to touch the skill tree. It will expand it and will should the skill branches as well as a list of teachers that teach this skill set. ll. Wildness Survival has 10 major branches. For each branches, there are skills to learn. For example, there is a great difference between ways of finding fresh water in deserts than in forests."

"There are so many teachers... Which one is better?"
"Let me choose for you then."
"Ok."
"Let me see. Ok. I choose the Devil Teacher because you can died 100 times and it only costs 1000 experience points."
"I don't have any points yet."
"It's fine. You have a beginner pack that comes with 1000 experience points and 100 energy points."
"Ok. Why do I need so many deaths for?"
"It's necessary, besides, it's like virtual reality, so there is no harm. You can die many times in a game."
"VR? Oh, that fine I guess. I still find there is something suspicious about this..."
"I am offended. What is suspicious?"
"Why does the trainer need so little points?"
"He doesn't really care about points."
"He has many students?"
"Yes. His job is training."
"So, he is a great teacher?"
"Yes. One of the best in Wildness Survival."
"Is he going to teach in person?"
"It's more of an avatar, but it's similar to what you will get in person."
"Is he very popular?"
"Yes. Any other questions?"
"No."
"So, let's entering VR."

ENTERING VR
"So this is VR?"
"Hello student. Welcome to my virtual space."
"Hi. So, you are the Devil Teacher?"
"Yes. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too."
"Oh...It's been a long time since I taught a beginner. Relax, it's easy."
"Really? Great."
"Let me tell you about my training course. There are 10 levels: Camping, Summer0, Fall, Winter, Spring, Islands, Mountains, Deserts, Grasslands and Forests. I won't go into details about the last five yet. I will focus on the first five. The environment of the first five is basically an area of 10 km with mountain, forest and lakes. You will spend 7 days camping and a month for each season. If you die in one of the levels, you need to restart it. The pain limitations are 10% to 50%, raising by 10% from first to last. You can treat this as a game. There is tasks with instructions for help and labels with descriptions almost everywhere."
"How do I update my skills?"
"By familiarity. Although there are instructions, you need to do it yourself. It's not that hard, when you can know without the instructions or descriptions, you have the skills. Are you ready to begin?"
"Last question. How can I die?"
"You can discover it yourself. It's part of the fun of playing a game. Ready...GO"
The Hundredth Death
Devil Teacher: "It's a hundred already? But you didn't finish the training course. I am waiting for you next time."
MC: "(((;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;)))"
Devil Teacher: "I won't let you go until you do it perfectly. Come back after getting enough points."
MC: "(ノ′Дヾ)"

"You didn't finish the training course? You have to complete it and you cannot change or do another one if you didn't finish one. You can finish it after this world. You learned enough for now."
"(╬ಠ益ಠ)"
"Why are you so angry? Something wrong?"
"You tole me his job was training."
"Yes. He is training army recruits."
"You told me he was a great teacher."
"Yeah, soldiers who went through this training have a higher percentage of survival than others."
"You told me he is going to teach me in person."
"Well, you meet his avatar."
"You told me he was very popular."
"Well, he is infamous for creating insane levels training. That's why he is called the Devil Teacher."
"And the reason why he asks for so little points?"
"It's because his training is hell or else no one will accept it."
"(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻. Why did you tell me before?"
"It was the most suitable teacher in terms of abilities and costs. Look at your skill tree. Don't be so angry, ok?"
"( ￣＾￣). Fine. I'll forgive you this time. HUH?!"
