"Of course, if you only make a few small mistakes, or those mistakes don't have too big consequences. Then the school won't do anything to you, but will just deduct your score."
"But if points are deducted too much, it's not a good thing, keep that in mind. Here, points are the most important "money" you can use to trade, and are also your life points.
"Every semester ends, the student's transcript will be released. Those who rank high will receive points, but those who rank low will have points deducted."
"If your score goes back to zero, the system will automatically explode."
Colin didn't show fear or despair at this time, because he knew those things wouldn't help. Right now, he needs to remember everything he just heard carefully, this is his chance to survive.
If it were Colin a month ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to stay calm to this extent, even when faced with his life being threatened.
Seeing Colin's expression, the young man nodded, as if seeing a good seed. The previous people he had met had all shown varying degrees of panic, Colin perhaps the lowest of them all.
"This is your student card and credit card. Don't lose your student card, it not only proves that you are a student of this place, it also has a great effect in the future when you attend school. Participate in periodic tests, or comply with school duties."
"As for the credit card, the limit is the salary in the contract you signed in advance. At the beginning of each month, the limit will be refunded to the original level."
"All the information I want to convey is just that. Do you have any questions?"
"Can I quit?"
"Not possible, unless the school gives up on you. If you voluntarily give up, the school will consider this an act of betrayal."
"What happens to those who cannot complete the test?"
"We will erase all memories related to this place and what happened. If they are lucky, they can return to living a normal life. If they are unlucky, then their minds will be crushed, they will live in madness for the rest of their lives."
The young man wearing a doctor's uniform spoke calmly.
"So is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No, thank you."
Colin thought that this was enough, suddenly, he thought of something so he quickly asked.
"No… wait! This university gives us strength and nourishes us for what?"
"The teacher will explain it to you later, but I think you can probably guess that."
"Monsters?"
"You might say so."
After confirming that Colin had no more questions to ask, the young man left, leaving Colin alone in the room. There will be a vehicle coming to pick him up tomorrow morning.
Colin leaned back on the bed, his eyes looking up at the ceiling. This room was already small, but after Colin learned about those things, it became even more stuffy.
It's hard to think that something that was originally just a temporary stroke of luck would eventually develop into this situation.
But Colin didn't worry too much, he had no way back anymore, so he had nothing to fear anymore. Compared to the feeling of despair, Colin wanted to see what kind of world he would eventually face through this place.
"Activate the system first."
Colin's mind sank into a virtual space. An interface appeared in front of his eyes, there were circles appearing in it, it was different items. The distinction is connection, score, notifications, support.
"Like a phone?"
Colin exclaimed, then he used his hand to try pressing on the "support" circle.
Immediately, that circle enlarged, turning into a three-dimensional simulation diagram of the human body.
"This is me?"
Colin carefully observed, he discovered that this was not a normal diagram.
Colin saw that the simulated body was not empty, but inside it there existed "small wires" in countless numbers, so many that it was unimaginable. These things were not nerves, nor were blood vessels, they seem more mysterious than anything Colin ever knew. Countless wires combine together, intertwine with each other, connect with each other, forming an unimaginably sophisticated network.
Colin was bewildered, he didn't even know how a holographic illusion could depict something like this. Colin looked closer, discovering that all the wires seemed to be connected somewhere, and he saw a bright spot at the "center", although he had a hard time describing what that "center" was. What is the end result?
At this point, Colin understood why this system could be called "learning support".
Because this is too hard!
It was hard for Colin to think that without this system of visualizing these difficult concepts, he would be able to understand what they were.
But compared to that, the technology that can do these things terrifies Colin even more.
"It's... amazing..."
That's all Colin could say.
Very quickly, another night passed.
A breakfast was presented to Colin on a tray. When he finished eating, sleepiness overtook him, making Colin realize that he had been drugged. He tried to stand up, but before he could move two steps, he fell down. Immediately, two strangers appeared into the room.
"Again..."
Colin was fed up with this feeling.
When he woke up, appearing in front of him was Matthew's smiling face.
"What's wrong, man, it's a surprise, isn't it?"
"Maybe, we've met three times already."
While talking, Colin looked around. He was sitting on a bus, but not the original bus. All the seats here are full. Some people have woken up, others are still in a coma. Over time, everyone woke up.
Finally, the bus stopped at a large structure with a platform on top. Not only Colin's bus but also several other cars. They all left as soon as the students got off the bus.
All students are waiting.
In the crowd, Colin saw Jenny, the short teenager, and Jenny as well. Now Jenny no longer looked as arrogant as before, she bowed her head very low, as if she had been overstimulated during the test.
"I'm Victor. The person who represents this place."
A voice rang out on the platform, but no one was there.
"First of all, we welcome all of you to be here. Officially become a first-year student here."
"Even though this place is different from any other type of school, you should not be lazy. On the contrary, you must sacrifice all your efforts to study, because this place does not need those who useless."
"I hope you all survive."
All the students were silent, leaving only Victor's voice echoing throughout the room.
"Next will be the announcement of your scoreboard rankings, each high ranking will receive a corresponding reward. Low ranking will not be punished, don't be discouraged, this is just the beginning."
After the words ended. A huge screen was projected into the air, ranking the names from high to low.
Colin ranked 25th, the reward was thirty extra points.
Matthew ranked 42nd, with ten points added.
"Dude, have you seen that? I'm ranked 42nd!"
"I thought you always ranked first before?"
"That's right, this Matthew is always first, from the bottom up."
Colin sighed, not paying attention to that idiot anymore. Looking at Matthew's excited appearance that he was about to cry, the people next to him thought he was ranked first.
Colin looked at the rankings again, he saw the name Jenny at the very bottom, ranked 189.
He doesn't know if this is an insult to someone who is always boastful like her?
Colin speculated that maybe Jenny couldn't even pass the first test.
However, Colin only thought for a moment, after that he didn't care about Jenny anymore.
After the rankings were completed, Colin and the others were divided into many groups, each group being a separate class.
Once again, Colin and Matthew became classmates again. The short teenager and Selina were assigned to other classes.
"Our class is boring, there aren't any girls... Dude, let's move to another class."
Matthew depressedly put his head on the table and grumbled. Colin really wanted to tell Matthew that they didn't come here to play, and even that studying here was closely related to their lives. But he suspected that Matthew wouldn't pay too much attention to this either. It's like throwing pearls in front of a swine
"Wait, there's a girl!"
Matthew was surprised, and Colin looked towards the classroom door. There was indeed a young girl entering. It was a tall person wearing a tight black dress and a red jacket. She wore glasses and her brown hair was tied in a ponytail.
However, this new girl didn't go to the students' seats, she stepped onto the podium.
"Good morning class, you can call me Miss Camilie. I am the instructor of this class number 4."
From the outside, Camilie was only a few years older than Colin, meaning her age was now only about twenty years old. Can someone like that really become a teacher?
That's exactly what Colin was wondering. Perhaps not only him, but most of the remaining students in the class also had similar questions.
