Chapter 77 - Masters Speak

The applause gradually died down as Dean Man-shik stepped back from the podium, his presence commanding attention even in his departure. With a gracious nod, he passed the mic to the distinguished teachers assembled on stage. As each teacher took their turn at the podium, the hall buzzed with anticipation, eager to hear from these esteemed figures who represented the pinnacle of NexaRealm expertise.

Seung-hyun, the esteemed Fighter, approached the mic with a confident stride. His deep voice resonated through the hall as he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to guide the next generation of fighters.

"Fellow students," he began, his tone firm yet encouraging. "I stand before you today not just as a teacher, but as a mentor and ally in your journey to mastery. My expectation from each of you is simple: dedication, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Together, we will hone your skills and forge warriors worthy of the NexaRealm arena."

Next, Ji-woo, the renowned Marksman, stepped forward, his piercing gaze sweeping over the attentive crowd.

"To be here, among the brightest minds and fiercest competitors, is an honour beyond words," he remarked, his voice carrying a note of reverence. "My vision for this university is simple: to cultivate sharpshooters who can adapt to any situation, who can outmanoeuvre their opponents with precision and finesse. With your unwavering determination and my guidance, we will shoot for the stars and claim victory on the NexaRealm battlefield."

Min-ji, the esteemed Roamer, approached the mic with a warm smile, her presence radiating warmth and reassurance.

"As a Roamer, I understand the importance of versatility and adaptability," she began, her voice gentle yet resolute. "My hope for each of you is to embrace change, to welcome challenges as opportunities for growth. Together, we will explore the vast expanse of NexaRealm, navigating its twists and turns with courage and resilience. Remember, true strength lies not in standing still, but in moving forward."

Hye-won, the esteemed Mage, approached the mic with an air of mystique, her presence captivating and enigmatic.

"Magic is both a gift and a responsibility," she began, her voice tinged with reverence. "My vision for this university is to nurture mages who wield their powers with wisdom and integrity, who harness the forces of magic to bring about positive change in the world. Together, we will unlock the full potential of your abilities, transcending the boundaries of reality and shaping the future of NexaRealm."

Finally, Dong-soo, the illustrious Assassin, stepped forward with quiet confidence, his gaze sharp and focused.

"In the world of NexaRealm, precision and stealth are paramount," he stated, his voice carrying an air of authority. "My expectation for you, as aspiring assassins, is to master the art of subtlety, to strike with deadly accuracy and vanish without a trace. Together, we will unlock the secrets of the shadows, forging assassins capable of turning the tide of battle with a single strike."

As the teachers concluded their speeches, a sense of awe and inspiration filled the hall. The students listened intently, their minds buzzing with excitement and anticipation for the journey that lay ahead. With the guidance of these legendary figures, they were ready to embark on their quest for greatness in the realm of NexaRealm.

Dean Man-shik cleared his throat, his voice projecting across the crowded hall.

"Thank you, esteemed teachers, for gracing us with your presence today," he began, his words punctuated by the enthusiastic applause of the students. "Your dedication to both academia and NexaRealm serves as an inspiration to us all. Please, take your seats once more."

As the teachers made their way back to their seats, the anticipation in the room grew palpable. All eyes were fixed on the stage as Dean Man-shik prepared to introduce the director of the university.

"And now, without further ado, I am honoured to introduce the director of NexaCorp Korea University," he announced, his voice carrying a note of reverence. "Please join me in welcoming Hye-su Seonu to the stage."

The applause swelled to a crescendo as Hye-su Seonu, the director of NexaCorp Korea University and CEO of NexaCorp Korea, made her entrance. Her presence commanded attention, and the room fell silent as she took her place at the mic, her gaze sweeping over the assembled students.

Her impeccable black suit and commanding presence left no doubt as to her position of power. With each step, she exuded elegance and poise, her aura commanding the attention of all present. Taking her place at the mic, her voice rang out with clarity and authority as she addressed the assembled students.

"As the director of NexaCorp Korea University, it is my honour to welcome you all to this esteemed institution," Hye-su began, her tone measured yet firm. "Here at NexaCorp, we operate on a system of meritocracy, where excellence is rewarded and mediocrity is not tolerated. You must understand the rules and regulations that govern this university, as they will play a crucial role in your success."

With a swift gesture, Hye-su unveiled the system that would govern the students' lives at NexaCorp Korea University – the NCK points system. She explained how each student would be allocated an initial 5000 NCK points, which would serve as their allowance for various expenses such as food, rent, and other necessities. Monthly rent would automatically deduct 100 points from their allowance.

"The acquisition and management of NCK points will be a central aspect of your experience here," Hye-su continued, her voice commanding attention. "You must strive to excel both academically and in the game of NexaRealm to earn additional points. However, be warned – any student who runs out of NCK points will face immediate expulsion from the university."

As Hye-su spoke, she opened a QR code for the students to scan with their phones, revealing a detailed document outlining the intricacies of the NCK points system. Murmurs rippled through the crowd as students eagerly scanned the code, their curiosity piqued by the wealth of information presented before them. From the ability to share points to the potential challenges posed by other students, the document provided a comprehensive overview of the system that would shape their lives at NexaCorp Korea University.

As the students scanned the QR code and opened the document detailing the NCK points system, a buzz of excitement rippled through the crowd. Voices murmured in anticipation, discussing the various aspects of the system that were revealed.

"I can't believe we get points for everything," one student exclaimed, scrolling through the document on their phone. "Even for participating in class discussions!"

"Yeah, and look here," another student chimed in, pointing to a section on the screen. "We can challenge other students to NexaRealm matches and earn points that way too. This is going to be intense!"

"Did you see that we can share points with each other? That's going to come in handy for sure," Soo-jin leaned in closer to Sang-hee, excitement evident in her voice.

"It's like a whole economy based on NCK points. I wonder how it'll affect campus life," Sang-hee nodded, her eyes scanning the document with interest.

Meanwhile, Joon-ho exchanged a knowing glance with Kang-dae.

"Looks like we'll have to stay on top of our game if we want to thrive in this system," he remarked, a determined expression on his face.

"Definitely. We'll need to strategize and make the most of every opportunity to earn points," Kang-dae nodded in agreement.

The students continued to discuss the intricacies of the NCK points system, their excitement and curiosity fueling their anticipation for the semester ahead.

As the students absorbed the details of the NCK points system, a sense of realization dawned upon them. This was no ordinary university experience; NexaCorp Korea University was charting new territory, challenging traditional norms, and offering a unique approach to education.

Joon-ho glanced around the hall, observing the mix of excitement and apprehension on his fellow students' faces. It was clear that this system would redefine their university experience, creating a dynamic environment where every action had consequences and every achievement was rewarded.

Soo-jin and Sang-hee exchanged eager smiles, already strategizing how they could maximize their NCK points and thrive in this new ecosystem. For them, it was an opportunity to prove themselves, to excel both academically and in the virtual realm of NexaRealm.

Kang-dae's eyes sparkled with determination as he contemplated the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. He knew that success in this system would require dedication, hard work, and strategic thinking – qualities he was more than prepared to embody.

As the orientation drew to a close, the students felt a renewed sense of purpose and excitement. They were ready to embrace the challenges of NexaCorp Korea University, to push themselves to new heights, and to forge their path in this innovative academic landscape.

With the document still open on their phones, they left the hall with a sense of anticipation for the adventures that awaited them. For NexaCorp Korea University was not just a place of learning; it was a beacon of innovation, a symbol of possibility, and a home for those who dared to dream differently.
