Thankfully, there wasn't anyone who came to Kye for trouble. In fact, there weren't any high-level people in the hallway. And Kye was glad for that. He didn't have anyone that could have protected him if it was the case. Sure he now had some ability, but he wasn't experienced enough with it to be able to fight against someone who had their abilities since they were born.
And even if by chance he would win, it was at the stake of exposing his new ability. And he didn't want that. He was sure that strange people would come at him if it was the case. And no one knew what they would do to him. He didn't want to be a laboratory rat, so it was really a good thing that no one came to him.
So after entering the VR area, Kye was utterly shocked by all the things in front of him.
There were hundreds and hundreds of big VR capsules that students could use to play whatever game they wanted, but the most famous game was the one where students could fight each other.
It was so famous because they could fight freely without the risk of damaging their opponents for real. Moreover, the matchmaking was so well done that they didn't fight against people too strong or too weak for them.
So after seeing what types of games were available, he decided to play this famous game too. 'Real Fight'. The name was pretty simple, but it clearly showed what it was intended for.
After paying a few points to rent the capsule for an hour, Kye went to his designated VR capsule.
'N°488… N°488, Ah, here it is,' Kye then pressed the open button before entering the capsule. The capsule then closed on Kye, and slowly, strange pink water filled it. Kye got scared, but when he saw that the water wasn't wetting him, he just closed his eyes to not see the process.
Once the water filled the entire capsule, Kye finally entered Real Fight.
Kye was in a completely white space. There wasn't anything else apart from that. A few seconds later, a screen came in front of him.
[Welcome to Real Fight, please choose your ability]
'Should I choose an ability?' Kye thought. 'No, there's no point in that. It's not as if I have such abilities, so it's better to not use such a thing.'
[Please choose a weapon]
Seeing that, Kye smiled and immediately chose the sword he got familiar with.
[Please choose a name]
'Hmm, how about Fallen Angel?'
[Name registered]
'Guess I can't change it now.'
[Would you like to cover your face?]
This option was available for those who didn't want to be recognized. And after weighing the pros and cons, Kye accepted. He didn't want to be recognized by whoever could endanger his life.
"Yes."
A mask suddenly appeared out of thin air. It didn't have any distinct features. In fact, it was just a white mask with only holes for the eyes. Once Kye put it on himself, the game continued.
[Please choose your section?]
A list appeared in front of him. There were different gaming modes such as 1vs1, 2vs2, and so on, with a rank mode for each of them. There was even a mode where people could fight against monsters.
'I wonder what a monster looks like,' Kye thought for a few minutes before shrugging this idea away. 'It's better that I familiarize myself with fight first before moving to monsters.'
So Kye chooses the 1vs1 mode, and after 30 seconds of research, he finally found a fight.
He got teleported into a big ring-like arena with spectators' seats surrounding it. Kye's eyes then landed on the opponent in front of him.
It was a giant man, probably 190 centimeters. Red hair and red eyes.
Kye gulped seeing such a student in front of him and then heard the countdown.

The big man immediately sent a fireball to Kye who dodged easily. There were around 20 meters between them, so he had quite a lot of time.
'Tch,' The red-haired guy clicked his tongue before sending fireballs after fireballs.
Kye dodged them all skillfully while slowly approaching his opponent. When just a few meters were separating them, the big student stomped one of his feet to the ground and a heatwave blew Kye away. Thankfully it didn't hurt him.
'Seriously, what's that? I won't be able to go near him if he uses that every time,' Kye thought before dodging another fireball. However, this one was a lot faster than the previous one. So much that he dodged it at a hair length.
"Stop dodging you rat and fight like a real man!"The red-haired student shouted as he sent faster fireballs.
'Is he kidding me?' Kye thought as a vein popped out from his forehead. 'It's him who doesn't let me go near him and he has the gut to talk like that?'
Kye now got a little pissed, but not enough to be clouded by that. Instead, he used that to dodge everything instead of going toward his opponent. Everyone has a limited reserve of energy, and it was the same in Real Fight. So he just needed to wait until his opponent would be left without energy.
The big student understood and got furious. And instead of trying to find another plan to beat Kye, he just fired even more fireballs. Albeit, he was getting more and more tired.
After two more minutes, the red-haired man sent his last fireball before falling to his knees. Seeing that, Kye slowly walked toward him. It could as well be a ruse, so he was still cautious.
And he was right because the moment he was near him, the big guy jumped toward him with his palm growing red.
He infused the rest of his energy into his palm to end this fight. Kye had pissed him by dodging everything so easily, so he didn't care about such a win.
Though, it was only if he indeed won.
Kye knew that something like that could happen, so he just sidestep before sneaking into his opponent's back and thrusting his blade into the student's heart, dropping his HP to 0.
[Fallen Angel had won this fight]
As this message appeared, both students faded away before teleporting back into the white space.
"Well I got my first win," Kye said, full of joy.
