But no one dared to ask that. They were all waiting for the lecturer in front of them to say something.
"I already know all of you well, so there's no need for introductions. Now, you all must listen carefully to every word I say, without interrupting me, understand?"
The students in the class all nodded in unison. Colin could feel the pressure from Camilie's tone, not allowing them to deny anything at all.
"As for some of the basic things you need to know about this school, you should already understand them, so I won't repeat them anymore. However, there is one thing that I must remind you all, don't use a normal mindset when facing this place."
"If you do that, death will be just a step away from you."
Camilie spoke with a cold voice without any temperature, causing a number of mentally weak students to swallow their saliva. Colin had prepared himself mentally in advance so his expression was still the same as usual, as was Matthew, but maybe it was because the blond hair basically couldn't hear any threats.
"This place chose you, awakened your power because it needs you to do something."
"For example, dealing with the monsters you saw during the entrance exam."
"The level of that thing can be said to be of the lowest level and has strength far surpassing that of humans, along with a body that is difficult to be damaged by conventional weapons."
"For higher-level species, physically damaging them is even impossible."
"If you want to effectively damage monsters, you can only use special powers. This is the reason this place was created."
After saying this, the faces of the students sitting below looked extremely unsightly.
After all, the horror of monsters has been experienced by every person here. And the future when they will have to fight monsters like that, even more terrible monsters than that, is not a very good future.
"Monsters, demons,... have always existed until now. Their origin is unknown. If anyone is interested, you can find out."
"However, I advise you not to waste your time on that. Compared to understanding some useless knowledge, how to survive is what you should prioritize learning."
"And here it is."
A holographic structure appeared next to Camilie. Colin recognized this as the human body simulation he had seen from the system.
"Have you all activated the system?"
All the students nodded.
"Very good, it will be easier to explain."
"This, this and this, all of these… you can call it "The Network"."
"It is the most essential thing that keeps your existence possible. You are the Network, the Network is you."
"And at the center of the Network is this circular point. If the Network is the circulation of all data, then this circular point is the server."
"That is "The Source"."
"Recording all of the Network, contained within it is also within the Network. Nothing but the Source."
"There's no need to argue with me about the contradictory nature of this."
Colin felt like his head was about to explode. A bunch of brand new concepts suddenly appearing and being shoved straight into his brain was not an easy thing to accept.
Colin glanced at Matthew next to him, his blond hair didn't move at all, it seemed like he had "stalled".
"Normal people are completely unable to know these things. Therefore, the awakening experiment was born. Those who have successfully awakened mean they have successfully opened their Source."
"Now, you just need to feel your own Source, establish a cognitive connection with the Source, and successfully open the Seventh Sense."
"After opening your Seventh Sense, you can discover your own Network. Your Network is your power."
As for how that power will manifest, Camilie said that depending on the Network, it will grant its owner different types of power. But one thing is certain: the deeper you dig into the Network, the more your power will increase.
"Lastly, except for Source and Network, you must pay attention to Network energy."
"Network energy is what comes out of the Network, the deeper you dig into your Network, the more space you have to store energy."
"Network Energy is your best weapon to face the monsters."
The students, however, cannot be happy about the uncertain future of having to fight monsters. But they listened excitedly to Camilie's every word.
After all, having greater strength than others and becoming a superhero is almost every person's secret dream.
Perhaps seeing what they were thinking, Camilie coldly threw them a bucket of cold water.
"Don't have any false dreams."
"Even though the awakening experiment was successful, opening up the Seventh Sense still requires natural talent. Perhaps there are people who could not open it even if they spent their entire lives."
"One more thing, this place will not wait for you to have strength before assigning tasks, this place does not need useless people. So even though you are still a normal person, you still have to think of ways to fight and kill monsters."
"This time, there won't be anyone following to protect you like during the test."
"Regular testing and periodic testing are just like tasks, you will have to handle it all yourself."
"There are about 200 freshmen in total, and a year later there may be only half left. Do you think you will be with the living half, or with the dead half?
Not a single piece of the euphoria from gaining power remained. Witnessing this expression, Camilie was very satisfied.
After that, Camilie allowed the students to ask her about any remaining problems.
There were questions Camilie answered, there were questions she indicated she couldn't answer, there were questions she expressed she didn't know.
No one knows how long this place has existed, no one knows where the students went after graduating.
Only the principal can know all the secrets of this university. The remaining people, such as lecturer Camilie or even representative Victor, do not necessarily understand this school well.
It's just that these things are too far away for a new student like Colin. What he needed to focus on right now was the upcoming monthly test. It will happen a few days later.
This is a real life or death challenge.
The class ended, and the students left the classroom carrying heavy burdens. Colin and Matthew are no exceptions.
"What are we going to do next?"
"Get used to this place first, then go get your luggage back at the hotel and move to the dormitory."
"That sounds so boring. Dude, I have an idea…"
"No."
Colin firmly refused.
"How can you not enjoy life? We now have a new life, so we should have a celebration. I'm planning to invite that short boy along with Selina, where should we go to find a place to drinking alcohol."
One second Matthew was worried about the upcoming test, the next second he was preparing to go drinking.
"We only have a few days to prepare everything necessary. And yet you want to drink a toast."
"Buddy! The probability of death is 50%! What if we die and don't have time to enjoy anything?"
"So I won't die."
Colin was still very determined. Matthew sighed, knowing that he couldn't convince him himself, so he followed Colin as well.
Colin's target is the most important place in the academy - Secret Room. This place, according to Camilie, is the only thing that can help normal people survive without any power.
When Colin and Matthew saw Secret That, they thought they had gone to the wrong place, because it was no different from the other buildings around.
When entering, both people saw what looked like a checking machine placed at the entrance of the supermarket.
"Looks like we're at the right place. Matthew, do I go first or do you go first?"
"Relax, buddy."
Colin nodded, went through the screening machine, and disappeared in front of Matthew.
Because this place stipulates that no two people can enter at the same time, only one of them can enter here.
Colin walked into a large hall.
On both sides of the road, glass boxes appeared, in each glass box there was something floating. The outside of the glass box has notes with information about what's inside.
Colin observed and knew that there was only one type of item in this hall, the Mark. The Mark could be understood as something created from energy.
Although this place only has Marks, each type of Mark has a different use.
The sword mark means attack.
The shield mark is for protection.
The triangle mark is to strengthen the body.
Each Mark is worth 1 point, Colin currently has 30 points, meaning he can exchange for up to 30 Marks. Colin was quite surprised, he was even mentally prepared that he could only buy very few items, maybe not buy any items at all.
This further proves how valuable scores are.
Colin didn't buy anything, he walked towards the end of the hall where there was a black door.
This is the path to the next floor, the requirement is to have 10 points.
Colin walked in, and soon he appeared in the second floor lobby. At this place, Marks are changed into potions.
"It's just like a game."
There are many more types of potions than Marks, but they mainly treat both physical and mental wounds, or restore damage. Most of them cost 2 or 3 points.
Colin noticed the most expensive potion on the second floor, worth 10 points. The purpose of this thing is to help people with fatal injuries recover, making Colin extremely hot.
Possessing it, Colin is like having a second life.
