Chapter 77 - 77: Towards The Library!

The rooms of the boy's dormitory were divided into two zones, lower and upper. There was a bed, a dresser, and a cupboard in each zone of the room. However, the boys had to share a few things as there was only a single fridge and bathroom in the entire room.

John and his roommate also decided that they will not turn on the lights after midnight as it will disturb the person who is sleeping.

Before turning off the lights, John chooses to use the upper zone of the room as his private place. Nevis, on the other hand, decided upon laying down on the bed in the lower zone as he was too lazy to climb up a few stairs every day to reach the bed.

"Lights off!" With a single command, the lights illuminating the room dimmed down before vanishing entirely.

A few hours later, Nevis woke up from his sleep in the middle of the night, feeling hungry and excited about the upcoming classes.

After yawning and stretching his body, washing the sleepiness away from himself, his stomach grumbled in protest. Immediately after, he thought, 'I should get something to eat. I wonder what's inside the fridge.'

Nevis stepped out of his bed and walked towards the container of his desires. His eyes twinkled in glee once he opened the door of the fridge. He picked up a few pieces of cherries and went back to his bed before he ate them one by one.

"I am wide awake. You can turn on the lights." John's voice sounded in Nevis's ears.

John thought that his roommate is eating in the darkness as he doesn't want to disturb his sleep.

"Ah, sure," Nevis said before turning on the lights with a simple command. The room was brightened in lights easy on the eyes, and he asked, "Wanna eat some cherries?"

"Nope," John declined his offer as he wasn't hungry at all.

"Well then, I will eat all of them."

After a moment, once Nevis ate all of the cherries, John decided to strike a conversation as he wasn't able to fall asleep once again, so he asked, "I can't sleep. Let's talk."

"About what?"

"Anything?"

"You first."

"How come you wake up so soon? It's still too early in the morning." John asked.

"Well, I was hungry and really looking forward to the classes that we'll attend in a few hours. I guess both of these reasons woke me up."

Nevis hasn't attended class in his entire life, so he was feeling excited at the mere prospect of attending one for the very first time.

He had heard that classes are a good place to show off, befriend others and find a cute girlfriend.

'I wonder if that's true. Well, I will find out soon anyway,' Nevis thought as he unconsciously smiles.

"I feel you," John said. He was equally excited to participate in the class and meet people his age.

"My compulsory subject's name is hella cool too. My classes range from weapon training and compulsory magic techniques to magical and demonic beasts terminology."

As soon as he said those words, John realized that they had the same compulsory subjects.

"Hmm, we have the same schedule," John said. "We will be seeing each other a lot in the upcoming days."

"I think it is because we are both members of the alpha classes."

His conclusion was right on the mark.

Every single year, the instructors of the military academy give excellent lessons on important subjects to the newly enlisted students that were a part of the alpha class. To become a part of such a class, a student must have a minimum combat level of 20. Moreover, for an entire, the compulsory classes were free of cost. After that, they need to earn contributions points to pay the fee to join the classes.

One could say that the academy ensured they received the best attention the instructor could offer at first, but later, they needed to prove themselves worthy of the hard work poured on them. As long as they worked hard, they would inevitably become excellent combatants that could fend off the creatures of hell invading the planets under the jurisdiction of the Earth Federation through the use of Hell's dungeon.

On the other hand, the students of the beta class didn't receive lectures. It's because their bodies haven't been trained to the minimum threshold, which is level 20, to garner the attention of instructors.

However, they were trained intensively. The training was compulsory and overseen by multiple instructors so that the students won't end up hurting their bodies. Once these students pass the minimum threshold of the military academy, they will be promoted to the alpha class and receive proper lectures on important subjects that will help them throughout their lives.

"I'm glad I didn't end up in beta class," Nevis said.

"I should be the one saying that; it was a close class for me, not you. If I didn't go all out, I wouldn't even be here." John remarked in a tone that mocked himself.

After rolling left and right on the bed for a while, Nevis said, "Since our subjects are the same, should we walk around together tomorrow?"

"Alright. I will also invite my big brother and elder sister."

Sometime later, in the room opposite to them, sunlight came in from the glasses of the double glazed window, pouring on the floor and slightly illuminating the room.

Vincent and Varth woke up simultaneously and prepared to head to their desired destination.

"Hopefully they teach something meaningful in the alpha classes," Varth thought while dressing up in his school uniform wearing which was compulsory, so even Vincent has to adorn himself in the uniforms, and after wearing their uniforms, they walked out of the room.

"Buddy, you were in the room opposite to ours the whole time. What a coincidence!"

The room opposite to them suddenly opened, and John and Nevis walked out of the room at the same time he and Varth walked out of his room.

Vincent sounded a voice in agreement. Varth, on the other hand, greeted them with a nod and started to walk away.

The others followed after him as they happened to be going the same way.

"Hey, guys, let's go to the classes together!" John said as he caught up to them.

"Count me out of it," Vincent said.

"But why?"

"The classes you are going to attend are not compulsory for me as I am not a student of the alpha class. So, I am going to self-study in the library." Vincent didn't want to partake in lectures as they weren't important enough. If they were important to him, instructor Theodore would have notified him a few hours before the class even began.

Hearing his words, the three around him turned dead silent.

"Huh?"

"Eh? How come you don't need to participate in the first week's compulsory classes? Are you for real?"

"…"

Vincent could see that not only John and Nevis expressed shock and disbelief after hearing his words, but even the right eye of Varth showed confusion.

"I can attend any class as I wish to as I am a student of the special class," Vincent said before jumping out of the window.

To be a part of the special nurturing program was both a fortune and a kind of misfortune.

The fortunate part was that he is given free resources, great benefits, and easy access to important classes.

The unfortunate part was that he couldn't spend classy time with his friends if he wanted to keep his current benefits.

"Say my hi to your sister, John!"

Vincent's voice sounded in their ears as he landed on the vibrant branch of a thick tree with green leaves just outside the building. He then took a leap towards the sundered skies to head towards the lower heaven of wisdom—the library of the military academy, which contained hundreds of thousands of books on history, combat, magic, and so on.

"So cool!"

The ones left behind marveled at the scene while looking at Vincent's back.

"Let's go or we will be late for the morning class," Varth said to John and Nevis.

They nodded and hurried their way through the groups of students that came out of their rooms and began to fill the entire hallway.

At this moment, they realized why Vincent has chosen to jump out of the window rather than walk out of the front door like a normal person.

After grouping up with Leilani and following the directions mentioned in the map projected in front of them, the three entered a building with dozens of floors and arrived at the classroom where the first lecture would be held.

Meanwhile, Vincent reached his destination. The library was undeniably one of the largest of all the structures in the academy. A large but typical gigantic building was standing up straight, and the entrance was guarded by burly robots holding plasma guns in their hand.

The robots stepped aside and allowed him entry when he showed them his student ID card.

His eyes showed determination as he entered the library with a clear set of goals in his mind: find a way to cure the poison haunting Uncle Miller's body, look for a way to help Leilani control her uncontrollable transformation, and learn two powerful techniques.
