At Korea University a briefing session for newcomers was held to explain the basics before entering the university.
Since it was still two months away most newbies did not attend.
But Lee Hyun took his time to come here.
‘I need to tell Hayan about this.’
Like parents worrying about their child’s education, it was purely for his sister.
The briefing took place in something like an auditorium.
A bit countryish style man seated himself next to Lee Hyun.
He talked to him first.
“Nice to meet you. Are you a newcomer?”
Lee Hyun nodded and turned to face him.
“Yes.”
“Korea University is so nice. I came from the countryside to visit the school. I’m Bak SoonJo from virtual reality major.”
“Is that so. My name is Lee Hyun. I choose virtual reality major as well. Since we’re in same major, let’s speak casually to each other.”
“Is that ok? You seem older than me.”
Bak SoonJo carefully asked Lee Hyun.
Lee Hyun shook his head.
“No way. I’m 20 too.”
“Your face doesn’t look like....”
“Hmm Hmm!”
Lee Hyun cleared his throat to show that he was uncomfortable.
Thanks to it, he could move on without much trouble.
“Yes, well. Lee Hyun! Let’s get along.”
Bak SoonJo lightly beat Lee Hyun’s shoulder as he said that.
Almost at the same time, people started approaching Bak SoonJo and Lee Hyun.
“I’m also virtual reality major. My name is Lee Yu Jeong. Nice to meet you.”
“Me too. I’m Min Sura.”
“I’m Choi Sang Jun. Nice to meet you.”
Lee Hyun and Bak SoonJo shared light greetings with friends of the same major.
Afterwards they listened to the briefing together.
On the first day, after attending the briefing session, they formed a “family”.
During the briefing’s break time, there was a hot debate among the friends.
“The virtual reality motion system used in Royal Road allows different level of physical movement depending on the user’s level.”
“Not only the basic five senses, but to be able to use potential above it. It must’ve used studies on brains as research basis.”
“To save such an enormous amount of data...”
Lee Hyun didn’t get involved in their conversation.
‘It’s a simple problem if you look at it.’
Before he started Royal Road, he read various research papers about virtual reality.
There were many words he didn’t know, but he memorized everything in its entirety.
As such, Lee Hyun’s knowledge about virtual reality was over normal students.
When Royal Road was first made consideration for safety was very high.
Lee Hyun was very considerate on this point as well.
It’s fine for something to go wrong with him, but his family would have a hard time.
Therefore, he studied about virtual reality.
“But Sura, what job do you have?”
“Me? I’m an enchanter. I'm in charge of wind and electricity.”
“Whoa! That’s a rare job.”
Enchanter is a job that gives strength to an object or a lifeform.
It’s basic is similar to a priest’s blessing magic, but it’s better in a sense because the given strength doesn’t disappear afterwards.
Mostly, it was job that takes necklaces, earrings, rings, etc and uses magic on them.
Even if it’s hard to raise the level in the beginning, it’s a job that brings in lots of money when successful.
“What about you?”
“I’m just a normal warrior. Level is 216.”
“That’s not normal at all. The level’s really high. I’m still only 140.”
“It can’t be helped since enchanter isn’t really a job for battling . But let’s go hunting together later on.”
“Yes. OK.”
After the girls revealed their level and jobs, boys started to reveal theirs as well.
Choi Sang Joon spoke first.
“I’m a warrior too. Thanks to hunting with a guild, I’m 278.”
“Which guild?”
“Black Lion.”
“Wow! The most famous guild in Thor Kingdom!”
Lee Yu Jeong didn’t hide her surprise.
It was very difficult to join a huge famous guild.
Your activities are limited while in a guild, but everyone still wanted to join a good guild.
It’s because of the benefits. Such as entering a guild war to take over a castle or hunting ground and the chance to borrow items easily.
Especially being able to borrow good items was a great advantage.
Not only that, if their activity is beneficial, they can receive some gold for monthly payment.
But even if there weren’t such benefits, famous guilds had their own pride.
When going to a field, city, or a castle, everyone will recognize their guild mark.
They get respected and commented by people and they can even get good amounts of giveaway items.
Sometimes, even if someone does a great thing, they may not even get a comment.
The Versailles continent is a world where strength rules and the famous guilds were the source of it's strength.
“It’s nothing. My brother is Black Lion guild’s founding member. He was one of the first 30 members, so I could join.”
“Then your brother’s level must be insane.”
