Chapter 276 276: VR Commenced
"Now, students... Line up one by one. Then you can pick your numbers in this box."
Zhuge has a small red box in his hands.
"Get our numbers? I wonder who's gonna be the first. I hope it's not me." Fatty prayed silently and looked at the small red box nervously. He doesn't want to be the first to embarrass himself. He was also afraid of the pain.
Who would not? Even if he knew that he wouldn't die. As someone who was born into a wealthy family. Pain isn't something he was accustomed to.
Caleb, on the other hand, shrugged casually. "Isn't it just feeling pain and dying?"
Well, of course, pain and dying weren't a foreign concept to him. Death was his friend. He died a hundred times that death wasn't so scary to him anymore. That's also the case with pain.
"What do you even mean by it just dying?"
Mei rolled her eyes, a bit speechless. Isn't dying scary for everyone? Though, she was not as scared as Fatty. She was confident with her strength, after all. What they would fight was just the weakest Sprout-threat level demon beast. With her Awakening Realm power and hundreds of battle lessons her family had her undergo through. The weakest Sprout demon beast isn't something that could scare him.
"Tsk... Always a showoff. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. A frog in the bottom of the well. What a clown..." Zhou didn't let the opportunity to throw a snide remark to Adam.
He doesn't really know how such a weakling behaves like a powerhouse. Adam's nonchalant demeanor and attitude as if everything was in his control is what irks him the most. Not to mention Mei, who he already considered his girl, was actually close to Adam. It's like pouring oil on fire.
'This guy really hates me.'
Caleb looked at Zhou's back with amusement.
"We are 42 in our classroom, right?" Shawn, the vice president of their section, asked.
Kevin, the class secretary, nodded. "Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, it's just we should line up by alphabetical order or student numbers... what you think, class president?"
Mei seemed to think for a while and nodded. "Your suggestion is reasonable."
Xin, who was beside Shawn, raised his hand. As the treasurer of the class. He felt that he also needed to contribute to the decision-making of the class. "I think it's better to follow the student numbers. We have used it for three years now. There's no reason to change."
'Doesn't that mean I'll be the last to get to try?'
Caleb felt that his luck was a bit bad today. He was excited to try the VR. However, he was the last number among his classmates. 'Well, first or last doesn't have much difference to me.'
Just like that, everyone lined up neatly, following Mei's decision and the majority's suggestion. Unfortunately for Fatty, he was the first one in the line since he was at the forefront of the student number.
Fatty put the virtual gear on his head under everyone's watchful eyes. Everyone could see that Fatty was pretty nervous with his legs shaking and the tiny sweats that formed on his forehead.
"Go Fatty! You can do this shit! Just believe in yourself and your big belly!" One of the students encouraged.
Fatty, who had already put on the virtual gear, couldn't help but swear when he heard his classmate's offending encouragement.
Fuck me! What did my belly fat do to you!?
Xin couldn't help but sigh and say to Shawn beside him. "This won't go well. Fatty might be the most sedentary, physically unfit in our class." Read latest stories on empire
"Do you really expect something to go well with this practical combat class?" Kevin, who was on Shawn's left, snorted. "Nothing would go well here. Our opponent, even though the weakest of the Sprout threat level category... It is not something we ordinary students could compete in. It is estimated that the weakest Sprout demon beast could kill five lions... Are you guys confident of facing lions??"
Shawn, on the other hand, had a confident smile on his face. He straightened his back and said with certainty. "I can... Isn't it just lions? You are underestimating us. Everyone in our class is groomed by the school and with our respective families. We are trained with various fighting styles and have been put to the test since we were our child. Don't forget, we are students of the No.3 high school... Lions might be strong for ordinary, untrained people. But not to us... If you can't even defeat lions. Then you're not my classmate."
Caleb, who has a strong spiritual attribute, could hear everything his classmates say. He couldn't help but agree with his class Shawn's statement. If you can't even beat lions with all the training and resources your family had put into you since you were a child. Isn't that shameful?
Just like that, the VR commenced. A holographic, full screen pops out from the panels. It was a live video of Fatty, who appeared in what seems to be the middle of the forest. On the screen, the environment was too realistic. As if it was the real world...
Everyone watched as Fatty hid himself immediately behind the thick bark of a tree and timidly looked around. The trees around Fatty had orange leaves, and they were five meters in height.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After a while, everyone watched intently as Fatty came out from his hiding as there was no sign of a demon beast or the presence of wild animals. On the holographic screen, Fatty glanced left and right before proceeding to walk forward with bated breath.
"If you're wondering why there's no enemy yet... Well, it requires you to gather your courage to seek the enemy yourself. Once you can't find the enemy for thirty minutes due to not even having the guts to face the demon beast. Then, don't blame me. I can only give you low scores or even zero. It's not hard to find the beast as long as you have the courage..." Professor Zhuge reminded me at this time.
