The trainees were struggling with loneliness.
Since they trained in sword fighting, apart from their passion, they lived a life far from women.
Even sharing a word with girls was awkward and uncomfortable.
Rather, fighting yakuza was much more comfortable.
Others may be used to dating a girl and separating, but to them, those were moments that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
Hayan promised.
“If you help me with the birthday party, I will set up a group blind date.”
“Ohhhhh!”
Trainees cheered. Then they started to plan for Lee Hyun’s birthday party one month later.
Absolutely in their own style!
***
“Welcome.”
“We welcome all newcomers.”
In front of the front gate of Korea University, there were clubs that were trying to have newcomers join them.
With his head lowered, Lee Hyun quietly headed towards the front door.
‘No time for things like clubs. The time I use for school life is a waste in itself.’
After going to school, the time he can invest in Royal Road decreases accordingly.
So, even if he’s a college student now, he can’t do club activities like others.
The job of sculptor showed many good points as time went by, but it needed more time investment.
Lee Hyun was set on never joining a club, even if he goes to a university.
Tadadadak.
With his heart set, Lee Hyun quickly walked by.
But no one stopped him.
Most newcomers got caught by the seniors, but no one approached Lee Hyun.
‘Phew! Thank god.’
Lee Hyun walked towards the main build, where a briefing for newcomers was to be held.
There he overheard a conversation.
“Unni, should we catch that person?”
“Leave him. Can’t you tell from his face? He’s probably a reject.”
***
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.”
Lee Yu Jeong looked at him as if she was jealous of him.
Choi Sang Joon nodded.
“He doesn’t tell me his level, but he should be at least over 340. I was able to raise my level easily following my brother around.”
“Whoa, really?”
While girls were jealous of him, Lee Hyun thought otherwise.
‘He trained his character like all the others. It’ll only get harder once he gets further along.’
In Royal Road the skill level was very important.
If he just gathers up exp fast and levels up, he’ll only go through hardships later.
Especially if he raised his level tagging behind someone else, then he’ll be barely able to do his share of work if a really dangerous hunt began.
Min Sura and Lee Yu Jeong approached Lee Hyun and Bak SoonJo who hadn’t revealed their job yet.
“Soon-jo what’s your job?”
When Min Sura asked blinking her eyes, Bak SoonJo answered, scratching his head.
“Me? Level 342 and the job is thief.”
"........"
The level of Bak SoonJo who had a naive appearance caused great ripples.
Royal Road couldn’t be understood from it's cover.
It depends on how many monsters you've slayed and how much time one spends in a dungeon.
Although Bak SoonJo looked like the quiet type, because he had competitive nature, he caught monsters while almost living in a dungeon.
Lastly, Min Sura looked at Lee Hyun.
“Lee Hyun, what’s your job and level?”
He didn’t really want to hide it.
But he didn’t want to show off either.
To those who who simply enjoy virtual reality, level may be something to show off, but to dark gamers, it was just exposing their cards.
‘They wouldn’t ask in detail anyway.’
Looking at the experience until now, they probably wouldn’t.
Expecting what would happen, Lee Hyun slowly opened his mouth.
“Sculptor.”
“Hm?”
“My job is sculptor.”
“Oh my.”
It was only a split of a second for people’s eyes to be full of pity.
Choi SangJoon beat Lee Hyun’s shoulder in encouragement.
“Try hard. I heard people choose sculptor a lot nowadays.”
“Yeah.”
Chatting from time to time like this, they listened to the briefing.
Lee Hyun wrote down important details in a notebook he prepared separately.
They were mostly subjects that would be helpful to study before school life, information about studying abroad and financial aid.
The trainees were struggling with loneliness.
Since they trained in sword fighting, apart from their passion, they lived a life far from women.
Even sharing a word with girls was awkward and uncomfortable.
Rather, fighting yakuza was much more comfortable.
