The students’ conversations during the break were basically knocking on his ear.
Half of the students were incline to talk about the class, while the other half broke up into groups and chatted about Royal Road.
“So let’s go hunting at Medium today?”
“I have to fix my equipments.”
“…defensive against Lighting property Sebon set.”
“How’d cha got money for it?”
“Been saving since a month back. Today ima try to buy the full Sebon set. I’m so excited.”
“Whew. When can I wear the set…I’m really jealous.”
Lee Hyun’s mouth permeated into a creepy smile.
‘These group of students as well.’
The price to purchase the Sebon set was 420,000 Won cash.
It was a flawless set for those at mid-range lvl200.
‘Now that I think about it, they’ve just gotten out of high school so a large amount of them are still at the lower levels.’
Comparing to a dark gamer like himself, these students seemed as if they were truly innocent.
Lee Hyun smiled gratifyingly.
But then he heard the low whispers of the students.
“That returning Oppa is laughing at us again!”
“That’s a really sinister smile.”
“He’s full of it.”
Lee Hyun’s reputation within the department was already set in stone.
At the end of the class he would clear up and head off home. He didn’t participate in the department activities, nor did he get along with anybody; thus they labeled him as a charlatan.
‘What choice can I have.’
During break, Lee Hyun also engrossed himself in the textbooks. But the reactions from those around him were far different than imagined.
“Look at him pretending to study…”
“If he was truly studious them he wouldn’t have yawned during class nor slept during break.”
Lee Hyun figured he shouldn’t rebuke the accusations. Since they have already set a prejudice against him, it was to do more harm than good.
And though, some of their misconceptions were a bit appropriate.
Lee Hyun’s target was just a 2.0!
‘Don’t want a warning as an undergrad. Nor any F is tolerable.’
The extent of his studies was only to avoid expulsion or failing.
Even with the perfect attendance record, he did not want a bad evaluation from the professor on his weekly reports.
‘My days are always like this.’
Lee Hyun resigned as he continued going to school. He had already given up making friends.
But today was a bit special. The students were excited about something.
“Where is it going to be this year?”
“I don’t know. It never said.”
“Last year we had a really good time!”
Lee Hyun could not understand their conversations.
‘Are you planning a weekend trip?’
But Lee Hyun thought it was unrelated to him, he didn’t give it a second thought.
At the end of lecture on that day, the professor suddenly said.
“Lecture is over, but we got a little time. Shall we talk about MT just a bit?”
The University initial MT!
For many, they’ve heard it from friends or their superiors, and only Lee Hyun was completely unaware.
‘This is completely irrelevant to me!’
Of course Lee Hyun wasn’t going to go. If you have time to do that, then you should take the time to beat up monsters and make more sculptures!
But it seemed as if the professor had read Lee Hyun’s mind and continued on with his story with such additions.
“Don’t you think that having a real life adventure is important to get a better understanding of Virtual Reality? You have to fully commit to the MT and do not play hooky to eat. You will be evaluated by your peers along with the teacher that will have a major effect on your grades. Of course for the students that will be absent, I will not give you your academic credits.”
The students cheered.
