Chapter 3 - Cube

Today is the first day of school and I am Kim Hajin replaced. It was now 8 o'clock and I was inside the Veritas classroom. There was one student in the class. The first thing I noticed when I entered the class was Chae nayun was in the class and when I came she started looking directly at me. I guess Chae nayun is a comeback as I thought. That's why she's taking care of me. Searching for my past and causes was his top priority.

It is now 8.30 am and our homeroom teacher Kim Soohyuk entered the classroom and started talking.

"Today is the first day, so there won't be any special training, but I hope you've all done your morning training. Training is never wrong, especially in the mornings when mana density is high."

Morning training?

…Oh, right. There was such a thing. I hurriedly filled a training area that opened from 5am to 8am to give the story a chance to meet the main characters.

"Now let's start by introducing yourself. I'm Kim Soohyuk, the instructor responsible for all of you this year."

"My rank score is 3850. World rank is 9737. According to the association's classification, I would be high-intermediate rank 5."

The students' eyes lit up. It was understandable. There were nearly two million Heroes in the world. Rank 9737 meant that he was very talented.

"I guess that's enough for me to meet you."

Kim Soohyuk seemed to like the students' reactions as the corners of his mouth curled into a grin.

"The first day will make you feel special. You may not be able to sleep because of excitement and anxiety, or you may be feeling very good because you have improved yourself. Heh, maybe you are happy to see the people you fell in love with again."

Just at this moment, Chae nayun turned her head towards me again and our eyes met. Chae nayun blushed and started looking directly at the teacher.

I'm pretty confused right now. I think I'll have to act powerless in academia.

The students burst out laughing. The trainer, however, froze his expression sternly.

"But Cube is not what it used to be. I promise you, there will be no time for relationships. You will experience several real war situations in Cube. Look forward to experiencing how horrible the real world is."

Her flirtatious smile put a chill in my back.

Combat training, so I had to take part in it.

"Next, Cube is objective. The only indicator of your success will be your grade. Guilds will only look at your grade. Therefore, we will rate you accurately and precisely. If you underperform, you will fall behind. Statistically, half of Cube students graduate without repeating a semester. "You can even be held back for a maximum of two years. More than that, you'll be expelled. If you can't be a hero, you become a spy or an agent. A mercenary. I understand that's not what you want."

After the instructor frightened the students, he paused and studied the students' faces.

"I repeat. You'll need to validate what you've learned so far in the Cube and hone your skills to use them in combat. There won't be any training here. Remember that."

With that, Kim Soohyuk announced.

"Get ready now. What's planned for today won't take long. The first task is 'choice of main weapons'."

"Any weapon you can think of should be here."

"Stand in front of any weapon you want. We'll give you training weapons. But don't underestimate them as training weapons. Market prices are 5 million won."

There were more types of weapons than I could have imagined.

Sword, spear, sword, dagger, rapier, halberd, great sword, zweihander, bow, pistol, whip, glove, etc… 100 students of Veritas class stood in front of the weapon they wanted.

"Choose carefully. After choosing your main weapon, you cannot change it for at least 6 months."

However, I started observing the class again. Chae nayun took the Sword as I guessed. And the rumors increased in class so I bought a Pistol exactly like the original Kim Hajin did. I think it was quite a bit more complicated soohyuk after talking a bit I left the classroom and looked at the forum. The hottest discussions were Chae nayun's switch to the sword, but of course they didn't forget me too. It was unheard of for someone choosing a pistol as a weapon.
