As Hiro walked through the university gates, his heart was set on succeeding this part of his life.
He lived off-campus, and the commute was hella long, but if he woke up just early enough, he would make it in time.
He had his first class in_ oh wow right now.
He was already late.
'I can make it!'
Hiro started sprinting to class. He hopped on top of building's roof, and hopped onto another. 'There's too many people, for me to run on the floor.' he thought.
He was about to make a large jump when he collided with someone mis air.
After getting a hold of his senses, he realized he had bumped into a 'Is that an angel?!' The person in front of him had glowing golden wings, her hair equally glowed. Her golden eyes held a glare towards him.
He swallowed hard.
"Are you going to keep gawking at me all day, or are you gonna get off me"
Hiro turned beet red and stood up immediately.
"I-I didn't see you there", he stammered.
She spread her beautiful, glowing wings before flying super fast.
As she left Hiro's line of sight, he shook his head like he had snapped out of a trans and begun gunning for his class.
Hiro walked into the class a little over a minute before the first lecturer walked in.
The only working door was in front of the class, so everyone immediately cranked their head up as he entered.
He had made sure to look presentable on his first day, so he wore a plain black shirt and black jean pants.
He wore his black hair in a buzz cut, and his signature nervous smile was on display.
He scanned the lecture room in search of someone_ Waving enthusiastically to him from the back was a kid who looked like the small version of him, only he had blonde hair, and wore a multicolored shirt, and similar looking jean shorts.
On his way to his seat, he caught a glimpse of glowing golden hair.
'She's in my class! Oh my God yess!'
Settling in on his seat, he was gawking at golden girl, when a large hairy man walked into the class.
He had two large canines poking out of his bottom jaw.
He cleared his throat before proceeding to speak. "As this is your first class, I was tasked with giving you all a physical evaluation" a grunt resounded through the whole class.
He cleared his throat again before proceeding, "We shall now step out, as I lead you to the fitness room"
Not waiting for a response, he turned around and started walking out of the class.
Having no choice, the students followed behind him. They arrived at a class that was not like any of the others. It was more like a really large hall.
The hall was divided into six sections, each section had small capsule like chambers that was further divided into four sets of twelve arranged in a circle.
There was what looked like a large screen on a wall. Each of the six sections had this screen on walls next to them.
The furry professor cleared his throat, so he could get the attention of the awestruck students.
"These chambers are what I'll use to evaluate your physicality and what not. The chambers collect your consciousness and sends it into the computer. The computer then puts you in a scenario I will pick to help the computer evaluate you"
"The screen shows me what goes on in the computer. It helps me give you my own personal evaluation. The two results gotten at the end of the physical test would be your physical rating for the semester"
The professor went over to the screen and switched it on with a really small remote.
The screen displayed what looked like the woods. "I will pick one of you, and the others will see how the device works.
The professor pointed at Hiro's counterpart, Logan.
Logan walked over to a pod, pushed a green button showed to him by the professor, and stepped inside.
Gas started filling the pod, knocking Logan out. Cables descended from the top of the machine, attaching itself to Logan's head.
"He's now inside the computer, and we can see him from the monitor. As more of you enter, the screen divides into your point of views, so I can see what you're seeing. Once it's only one of you remaining in the system, you're automatically removed. You leave the machine by quitting by saying 'I yield' or if you are unable to move. Any questions"
The whole class was silent.
"Good, now I want all of you to do what he did and get in there"
Walking to one of the machines, Hiro was somewhat nervous. He opened it and sealed himself inside. The gas started pumping in, and after about ten seconds, he fell asleep.
Opening his eyes, he looked to be in the woods, just like on the monitor.
'Everything feels so realistic' he thought. He walked a little bit when an arrow whizzed by his head. He wore what seemed to be grey spandex, with black leather pads on certain areas, like joints.
"What the f_ why'd you do that!" turning around to face his attacker, he froze. The attacker was the angel from earlier.
"I can't believe we are in the same course" she said with her beautiful voice.
She was holding a golden bow, but Hiro didn't see any arrows anywhere.
"I didn't know you want to be a hero" she said again. Hiro was now cautious. She started walking, making a slight circle around him. "If I had known, maybe I could have been a little nicer when we met"
She immediately cranked the wire of the arrow backwards at lightening quick speed. An arrow materialized out of nowhere. "It was a good talk" she said, before letting fly for his head.
Hiro managed to duck just before it hit his head "That almost hit me you psychotic fuck!" he screamed at her.
"Isn't it obvious. I'm trying to take your life" with that, she drew another arrow.
"Run" she whispered.
Taking the hint, Hiro started running east. "Why're you trying to kill me. Isn't this like a friendly examination!"
"I also didn't know you were really stupid!" she yelled.
Hiro noticed her voice seemed to be coming from above. Arrows started raining down, through the trees. Her golden wings blocking the sun.
landing in front of him, she made what looked to be a bat. Before Hiro could react, he was smacked across the face with the bat.
A flash of light morphed the bat into a sword. "The professor said we can leave this place only if we quit or unable to move. What do you think that means numbskull"
Hiro's eyes flashed with realization."It's a fucking battle royale!"
"Yes, and your results determine your class rank" she added.
She was about to slash his head with the sword, but she was kicked away by...OMG logan!
"Let's get outta here my naive friend" Hiro's eyes teared up a bit as he took his hands. "You're my hero" he whispered.
