Realizing this, he decided he'll go up to them and ask regarding the officers on this campus. Although he could ask about the cameras, he'd at most get an approximate number of cameras there are on campus as a whole if he's lucky. He'd rather see for himself how many cameras there are exactly and where their locations are compared to just knowing how many might be around.
He went up to the officers while holding his notebook and pencil as if he was a journalist going to ask a serious thought-provoking question, "Hey officers, I'm a student here at RCC and I was wondering, how many officers are there and how many patrol a day?"
He asked the most straightforward question!
The officers looked at each other for a second before looking back at the kid suspiciously and with one asking him, "Why do you want to know?"
Because of his low stats like creativity, he didn't really think of a way to word the question that wouldn't sound weird. Just like with the women he didn't really say anything special, just saying what he said the first time and repeating it for the most part. He thought about how to respond for a few seconds, with the officers starting to look at him weirdly now.
After a couple more seconds, he finally responded, "I don't see many officers around so I've been concerned for the safety of myself and the others. I asked the question because I want to assure myself and my friends that we have nothing to worry about."
The officers finally calmed down from that awkward moment of silence after hearing his response so one of them decided to answer the question, "If that's the case, I can assure you and your friends you're all in safe hands. We officers number 23 in total strong with 6 patrolling at different times and places of this school at all times. Whenever we're notified of anything bad that happens we respond to the situation as soon as possible, so you let your friends know that they won't have to worry here."
*PING
With that out the way, Kubera wrote the important information down and thanked them then walked away. While he walked away, he also wrote down the cameras he previously saw and where they were on the map as well before looking for the rest of the cameras.
'Wait.. How do I know what the officers said were accurate and true?'
While thinking this, he noticed he had received a new notification, so he quickly opened the system to find he had completed one of the tasks!
(Task Completed: Wolf amongst sheep: Scout the AOI's security (1/2) | Reward: 50% Quest progress | Quest: AOI | RCC takeover | Quest progress: 50/100%)
Seeing that the task was completed, he was now confident the officer told him the whole truth. This made him respect the officer since he could've lied or spouted something else entirely but he spoke the whole truth from the looks of it, which Kubera found very surprising after knowing what type of corrupted world he was currently in.
He was now confident in finding all the cameras. This is because the system considered that officer's response to be the whole truth thus completing the task, which made him realize after a minute of thinking that the system must have a way to know whether that information was right or not. He believed it must be that the system has a small radius it can scan around and most likely some ability to know whether or not a person is telling the truth, or it just already knew all the answers from the very beginning, but needed him to find out for himself for whatever reason. Either way, it was reassuring to know the system has such power.
Without having to look around for officers, he put all his focus, which was rather low, to finding those cameras to the best of his ability and checking the progress of his camera task to make sure he's on the right track, which is currently '13/100%'.
...
Kubera had went around the outside of the entire campus first before going into the buildings he had access to. There were a total of 32 cameras outside, bumping his total percentage to '65/100%'.
The first building he had went into with cameras was Mantra's building main office that had 2 cameras in the lobby. The next building he entered after going around the outside of the campus was Dojo Hall, which was a 2 story building with the first floor being a big cafeteria! He had never seen so much food in one area before until today, causing his stomach to growl and his thoughts to wonder of the taste of the food in this world.
He hadn't eaten ever since arriving to this world once he realized everything was practically poisoned and that he needs to eat only meat as a source of food. The system never gave him a mission about anything regarding soda or juice, but he didn't have any desire for any drink except water since he prefers cold refreshing water.
*PING
He shook his head and tried to redirect his focus. He looked up to see there were 4 cameras around the whole first floor of this cafeteria. The cafeteria had: a dining area, an area where the food is sold, a staircase that led upstairs, an elevator near the staircase and another dining area in the opposite direction of the previous one. Seeing the stairs snapped him out of his daze since he still hadn't seen what was up there. He bid the food farewell and went up.
What he saw next caused his eyes to widen in surprise since he expected more food, especially since he was still thinking of the food somewhat. But instead, the second floor had a door that led to a front desk for people to check into, because this was a study area!
Well, not entirely. The area behind the front desk was a lounge with: tv's, pool tables, tables, chairs and couches. But when Kubera walked to the back of the lounge, there was a door that led into the study rooms you reserve or check into at the front desk. What was even more surprising was that there were no cameras up here at all!
The study area was a long hallway with 6 doors that had a window on it. Besides the door window, there were no other windows to see into the study rooms, this guarantees the privacy of the people studying. There was even a sign on the wall in the hallway that said the rooms were soundproof!
'What if there's only a girl and boy in a study room together..' He started to think of the 3 he approached earlier, he started having thoughts of the pink shirt girl and what it would be like if he could teach her to give him the respect he deserves, like what the tall leather boots girl gave him!
Then he snapped himself out of his 'helpful' thoughts and thought of something actually important, 'What if I found a guy studying alone in one of these rooms..' After thinking of that, he couldn't help but smirk and circle this place on the map. He needed to use force to get a male student unconscious after all, so this place would be better compared to the restrooms. What made this place even more convenient was that the door to each study room was in the back of the study room, so he could sneak up behind them, reducing the chance of his identity being exposed by a lot!
After finding out that's all in Dojo Hall, he left and went to the next building. This building was the Library building which was a 2 story building. There were 5 cameras on the first floor past the receptionist desk, which was the first floor library. Then there were 4 cameras on the 2nd floor which was also a library, there were just so many books here! The staircase was located on the left of the receptionist desk.
The next building was Iron workout gym, which was a workout gym with lots of equipment and machines that Kubera has only seen in the system when he was reading from the information the previous owner had that the system organized together. Although he knew what the purpose of some of the machines were, he didn't know how it'd feel, especially in this body.
His previous feats he accomplished back at his world such as killing his first selkie had a major impact on his mental and made him realize just how far he came and just how much better he can be if he worked hard enough with the right guidance. He wanted to see just how much these machines could help him become stronger and compete with the other people here, just as he competed with other boys during his training to become a warrior.
He put that thought in the back of his mind for now and would come back to the gym another time. He looked around and noticed there was only 1 camera in this gym and it was at the entrance where the front desk was.
Bison building was the next building he went to which so happened to be a gymnasium next to the workout gym. It had: 2 changing rooms for men and women that played sports here, a storage room for the gym and a track field outside not far from this gymnasium. There were no cameras in Bison, this was most likely because they didn't want to have camera footage of the athletes here training leaked.
'I think there's only a few more buildings left.'
After leaving Bison, he went to the next building to finally finish this quest.
