"This is the triplet's room, let us in." The boy at front said, his name is Joe.
Xin knew that it was improper for them to enter their rooms, if he didn't stop them now, they will keep on coming inside anyhow they wished. The triplets were shouting behind Xin to not allow them inside. The boys tried to enter the room but Xin prevented them from entering.
< New Quest >
< Kill the enemies and extract their hearts >
'Extract their hearts?' Xin was surprised, but he didn't have time to think much about it as the boys in front of him were preparing for a fight.
"Get out of the way before I stab you." Gab, the boy beside Joe said. In his hands were two short knives, and he had the aim of stabbing Xin.
As the knife came closer to Xin, he stopped it immediately with a shortsword. When he saw that they really meant the fight, he had no option but to form a shortsword in their presence.
"What are you trying to do?" Xin said as he hit the knives off Gab's hands, and it fell on floor. They were surprised as they saw the sword in Xin's hand, appearing from nowhere.
Every other students were already in their rooms, and they didn't know that a fight was about to take place.
Mark whispered into Joe's ear and a frown appeared on Joe's face before it turned into a smirk.
He turned to look at Xin, and stretch forth his hands for an handshake.
"What should I do with that? Should I cut it off?" Xin said.
Joe withdrew his hands, smiling. He turned to leave, but before he could leave, he said something to Xin; "We are now enemies from now on." he said and they all left.
After they left, Xin went inside the room but he found the triplets laughing and smiling.
"What did you do to them?" Xin asked the girls.
"We didn't do anything. We just won them in the swordsmanship fight and they asked for us to join their group but we refused, that's why. Hehe." Kate answered.
Xin was no more shy to talk and with the looks of things, he already had them as friends.
"Are you so good with swords that those guys weren't able to defeat you in the exam?" Xin asked.
'Or they possibly let you win since you're girls.' Xin thought.
"Why don't we have a quick match, you and I?" Sonia said making her way outside the room.
"Where will that be held?" Xin asked.
"Just follow me." Sonia said exiting the room. The other girls are not going, so it was just Sonia and Xin.
Xin placed his luggage and other stuff under the bed and left with Sonia.
They had walked a few metres away from the Dorm building and they are heading towards the school game shop. For the first week, there won't be much classes. And for their first day, they were advised to explore around the school.
A man with a curly moustache was at the door, checking each student's pen as they entered. Only those whose power bar are not yet full, can enter for free. Once your power bars are full, you will be able to go out of the college for quests and hunts for beasts, and they get rewarded for the completion of the quests. So it was expected for them to pay for the game they will be playing, since they already have the payments with them.
Sonia and Xin showed their pens to the man and they were allowed inside the game room. Entering the room, they were met with different types of game machine, but among all of this, only one thing caught the sight of Xin. That was the VR capsule.
"This is exactly what I want." Xin said.
"I didn't know you have so much interest in VR's. I was thinking you would have preferred the Sword machine to VR game." Sonia said, referring to the sword game machine that teleports only two people into a training hall and wooden sticks are being used as swords for the game.
"Nah, I don't even know how to play it. Let's go for VR." Xin said.
"Okay, no problem." Sonia said as she entered a solo VR capsule and Xin also entered a different VR capsule.
"I wonder where Johnny is." Xin said. Johnny wasn't among them when they were having a tour around the school and Xin took the exam before Johnny.
Well, Johnny is still somewhere in the middle of his own exam. He was being delayed on proceeding.
