Chapter 48 - Military Training
Chapter 48 - Military Training
Leo and Chris didn't worry about Bella living in the luxury mansion area because Chris could live there too, he just didn't want to. And considering the difference in treatment that Instructor Hanna had between Leo and Chris during entrance exams, they knew that a good Awaken with a Quirk Special was far more valuable than a genius Awaken with a normal Quirk.
But despite being curious, Sophia didn't ask any more questions. She preferred to wait and see how they would handle it.
She could feel that Chris was just an Awaken Bronze 2 Stars, but it is known that in MU only young Bronze 3 Stars can be accepted, so for Chris to be able to enter being a Bronze 2 Stars there was another reason, both for the talent he showed, or maybe even for being the son of someone powerful.
As they didn't explain, she didn't try to find out more.
Her other friends said they couldn't go, and coincidentally only Bella said she was available, so it would just be the two girls and the two boys.
When the three arrived at the cafeteria, Bella still hadn't arrived, so they just chose a table farther away and Leo presented the menu to Chris.
Chris was amazed that MU made so much different food available for free to students! And from what Leo said, the canteen food was very tasty, to the point that most students even avoided eating elsewhere to enjoy the canteen food.
As MU students are Awaken between Bronze 3 Stars and even going to Pure Silver Rank, nobody here is short on money, so if they really wanted to they could order a lot of food from other restaurants without worrying about the money, so the food MU's being free isn't a big deal, but it tastes so good that no one bothers to order food elsewhere.
The canteen even earns a lot of money, as the first meal is free, but if a student wants to eat again, he has to pay. With such a good meal, many people eat two or even three times, thus generating a lot of profit for the canteen, offsetting the expenses with the free meals.
"Do you plan on going to class?" Sophia asked curiously.
Because MU didn't force students to go to class, many students just went on missions or studied alone in the library. This was completely based on the student's personal preference.
Chris who had heard the explanation of this before coming already had an answer in mind. "Yes, as I've been an Awaken for such a short time, I think it's best that I listen to many experiences from the teachers, and in my spare time do the quests to put these teachings into practice."
Sophia nodded at Chris sensing that his response was very good, it was very good to be self aware of one's strength.
Leo responded lightly. "Maybe I'll go to a class when I'm bored and see if it's too aggregating, but my plan is to focus on doing quests."
Leo knew what he needed was experience points to level up his skills. Having theoretical knowledge was important, but leveling up the skills was even more so. And with so many experience points needed to level up the skills, Leo would need to hunt a lot.
Sophia also understood Leo's point of view. If it was another fledgling she might feel he was too arrogant, but when she was helping Dave achieve the Pure Silver 1 Star she heard about how good Leo was at hunting monsters and that it wasn't just arrogance.
"What about you? How do you plan to define your routine?" Leo asked after taking a sip of the juice they ordered.
"Last year I focused a lot on hunting, moving up from Bronze 4 Stars to Bronze 5 Stars pretty fast, but I saw that I lacked a bit of theoretical knowledge for me, so this year I decided to balance. During the first semester I want to study hard , and in the last semester I intend to hunt to reach the Pure Silver 1 Star." Sophia said confidently.
Leo nodded at her, while Chris was surprised that she was already an Awaken Bronze 5 Stars, and even more so when he heard that she wanted to achieve Pure Silver 1 Star this year! @@novelbin@@
He hadn't even met other Awaken Rank Pure Silver before coming to MU, but whenever he heard about these people it was always involving a lot of respect, as Awaken Pure Silver would already be considered elite in their city, and seeing Sophia was just a year older than them with the goal of reaching the Pure Silver 1 Star rank this year made Chris look up to her.
'I need to dedicate myself to rank up too. I'm just an Awaken Bronze 2 Stars, I have to reach at least Bronze 4 Stars or Bronze 5 Stars before the end of the year.' Chris thought motivated. He had a Space Quirk, it gave him a lot of advantage to hunt monsters alone, which made him rank up faster than others, it would be a waste of MU resources if it took him a whole year to just climb to Bronze Rank 3 Stars until the end of the year.
Leo watched Chris' motivation rise and was happy as he wanted his friend to get stronger.
Suddenly a girl came walking up to their table and sat down next to Sophia.
Sophia was facing Leo, so the girl was facing Chris.
"Hi guys, I was a little late, I had to stop by somewhere before I came." Bella said in a low voice with a slightly shy expression.
"It's okay, we didn't even wait that long." Leo responded with a smile. "This is my friend Chris, he's from the same city as me, in fact, we've studied together since freshman year of high school."
Hearing this Bella looked to Leo's side and saw Chris looking at her too and they both looked away from each other at the same time.
"Hi…"
"Hi…"
The two greeted each other at the same time and in low voices. Leo and Sophia stared at each other before starting to laugh, their personalities were really very similar.
Last time Leo hadn't paid attention to Bella's aura, but as Sophia said she lived in the luxury mansions, this time he wanted to test it, but he found he couldn't feel anything!
Even from Sophia he could feel a little aura leaking out, but Bella didn't leak at all, meaning she was probably an Awaken Pure Silver 1 Star!
'An Awaken Pure Silver 1 Star in the second year… her talent is really good. But I still think Chris can catch up to her, he just needs even more motivation.' Leo thought as he planned to tell Chris this later.
As Bella arrived, the group decided which dishes they were going to eat and started talking while they waited.
It was actually pretty much just Leo and Sophia talking while Chris and Bella listened in silence, only making a few comments every now and then they felt they had the opportunity.
Despite being an Awaken Pure Silver 1 Star, Bella was extremely shy.
But even with the two being shy, the group's conversation flowed well, until Sophia said something that surprised Leo and Chris.
"Are you ready for military training?" she asked with a smile.
Leo was confused and asked back. "I didn't know about this training, what's it like?"
When she saw that he didn't know her smile got even bigger. "First-year students have to go through some physical conditioning before classes actually start. This usually lasts a week at most, but it's quite dangerous."
Leo was interested, hearing that something was dangerous meant there were a lot of Experience points involved.
But before Leo asked for more details, Sophia just finished by saying. "I can't explain much, but if you want a hint, as you're an archer, take plenty of arrows with you, because you're going to need it."
Hearing this Leo got even more excited wanting to know what it was. As he had to go these last few days without doing quests, he was very keen to hunt again to get more experience, and for him to need so many arrows he would probably have to hunt a lot of monsters.
But as much as he asked, Sophia didn't say anything important to him.
The only relevant thing she said was that many students were injured, but those who resisted until the end received great rewards.
Chris was worried to hear this, but remembering Sophia's ambition made him even more excited. And he wasn't dumb, even though he couldn't feel Bella's strength, knowing that she lived in a better place than Sophia, it could only mean she was an Awaken Bronze 5 Stars Peak or even Pure Silver 1 Star!
Classes would start in two days, and Sophia also said that military training takes place on the first day of class, so after they finished eating, Leo and Chris went out to buy daily necessities and important things to hunt in case they were going to need it in the morning. military training.
When he got home Leo even searched the internet about it, trying to get more information, but he didn't find anything, so in the end he just accepted it and decided to wait and see.
The next day he and Chris just rested and played video games together like they used to, and it wasn't until the next day that classes really started.
Leo had filled his Inventory-Hack with basic necessities like water, food, arrows, and all sorts of things that could be useful in the forests.
But for a disguise, Leo was still carrying a big backpack on his back to pretend he was carrying his ordinary things.
As MU didn't warn about this military training, Leo just wore a regular outfit and left his armor in case he needed it.
He went with Chris along the way, and just like they were prepared, Leo saw that there were also other students with big backpacks and even some students came wearing their own armor.
On the other hand, there were students who didn't bring these things and were confused to see other people carrying these kinds of things to the first day of class.
Then Leo realized that maybe it could even be a test, to see which students had good social skills to receive these tips from seniors before classes started.
'I'm looking forward to experience!' Leo thought excitedly.
