***

The lecture took 2 hours and As it was the first day, class ended immediately after the first lecture. So, As soon as the professor left, William said goodbye to Ethan, who was going to run some errands, and left the class heading to his apartment.

*

Although it was a supposed to be a 5 minute walk, it took William about 15 minutes

"Looks like I have no sense of direction."

He was currently laying on his bed thinking about what weapon he should choose

'Obvious choice would be a gun. Although a sword is a lot better, I have very limited knowledge on how to use one. So, until I am proficient in using a sword, gun it is.

Then onto the next problem, Money. I can either become a mercenary or invest in stocks.... Obviously I will invest in stocks, being mercenary isn't really worth the risk. First let's check my account balance'

After putting in an order for a gun, he found his bank's app and opened it to a shocking sight that made him gasp in shock

"No way."

He saw that he had three million gold in his account, where one gold equals one gram of gold, so he had about 255 million dollars in his bank account.

"Oh lord, that's north of 150 million! How on earth did I get all that?! I mean what's the point of me participating in the storyline now if I could just drop out, buy a house, and spend the rest of my life doing absolutely nothing!"

Although he was saying that, William knew he couldn't stay in this world. He already had a way out, why not return home?

Sighing, he placed an order for a gun and started watching videos on his phone to pass the time till his gun arrived. Which it did exactly an hour after he ordered it.

"Oh my, Look at this beauty."

He said while he was checking out the gun. It was a very special handgun as it could handle Mana bullets. And it came with 4 magazines, each holding 18 live rounds.

"Guess I gotta go try this out and at the same time train for the Battle Royale the day after tomorrow... Actually, can I try this out in the training room?"

He went over to the three doors but he couldn't remember which one it was, So he decided to choose by an eeny meenie miney moe, and it landed on the middle door. He entered the room to find that it was actually the training room, can you believe his luck!?

He went over to the control panel, which was in the middle of the room.

"Sooo... How do I activate this?"

First he tried waving his hand over the screen, nothing happened. Then he touched the panel, and something did happen. A holographic screen appeared Infront of him, written on it was

"Choose your settings by saying them out loud."

William read this and started thinking about what to choose.

"Uh... Just a shooting range?"

Immediately after saying this a blinding blue light filled the room forcing him to close his eyes. After the light dimmed out, he started opening his eyes to see that the room has had miraculous change.

Firstly the room had gotten a lot bigger and was now divided into three sections, each with a banner written above it. The one on the right had Easy, the middle had Regular, while the left had Hard.

"Damn, this is really impressive."

After thinking for a bit, he first decided to head to the easy section.

It was basically a normal shooting range, and the target appeared to be 10 meters away. After he approached the stand, he cocked the pistol, took aim, and

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

He shot three rounds, and then recalled the target.

"Nice."

Out of the three bullets, two hit the head while one hit the chest. Although William was still young, It was not his first time shooting a pistol, as since he was young, Mister Roberts used to take him to basic shooting lessons.

"This is too easy, looks like I am going straight to Hard"

After his performance in the Easy difficulty, he was feeling very smug. So he decided to go straight to Hard. Approaching the Hard section, he was confused to find there was no target?

"Where the hell is it?"

Suddenly a voice responded

"The target is 1000 meters, Or 1 Kilometer away."

"A KILOMETER???? How am I supposed to do that with a pistol??"

"You do not have to do it with a pistol. And also a pistol with Mana infused bullets can hit targets up to 3 Kilometers away."

"What about the regular difficulty? How much is it?"

"The target in Regular difficulty is 100 meters away."

"Alot more reasonable that is."

Going over to the Regular difficulty section and checking it out, he decided to continue his training there.
