Chapter 74 73 - Upcoming Exams

Waking up the next morning, Milo told Chris and Mark about the shenanigans that happened yesterday in Zach's room, and the two ended up wanting to see the new little mascot of their group. Milo then sent a message to Zach asking if it'd be okay if he brought them down to see Waki. After he told them it was fine, the group made their way down to Zach's room and made their way inside. Zach was currently packing his school bag for classes that day, and Waki was sitting up on his shoulder. The two seemed to have done some bonding, which would've been easy for Zach with how his ability worked.

Seeing the little bird resting on Zach's shoulder, Chris and Mark had the same reaction as Milo and Zach the day before. "He's so cute," they both said in unison.

The baby bird, seeing new visitors, hopped down from Zach's shoulder and landed on the bed, before cocking its head to the side, as if to say, "who are you?"

Milo and his two roommates gathered around the tiny beast to get a closer look. Milo then reached out his hand and rubbed the little thunder hawk on the top of its head, before working down to under its chin. The bird seemed to enjoy the feeling of Milo rubbing under its chin and cooed with pleasure.

It then hopped down off the bed and back over to Zach where it tugged on his pant leg, Zach then crouched down and allowed the hawk to hop onto his arm where he then lifted it up and allowed it to hop on his shoulder where it was sitting when they first came in.

Zach was now packed up and ready to go, with how his ability worked, he was allowed to bring his tamed beast around campus. The school gave him a small ring that would tether the small creature to him using magical energy. It was almost like a leash to make sure his beast didn't get out and make trouble around the school. The group then made their way out of the dorms and out into the main square of campus.

Seeing all the new sights, sounds, and smells around it, Waki was hopping around from one of Zach's shoulders to the other with the occasional stop on the top of his head as well.

Seeing the excitement of the little beast riding along with the group, the boys all laughed as it was an adorable act of curiosity and innocence. The group made small talk on their way to the canteen where they ran into the girls. Seeing the little bird they had a meltdown about how cute the little bird was. Waki was quite the popular little guy, and he seemed to be caught off guard and a bit shy from all the attention, as he clung to the back of Zach's shirt and peeked his head out from behind Zach's head, trying to hide.

The group then got their breakfast and took a seat, talking about everything Zach and Milo had to do the night before for the little critter. Waki meanwhile was still hiding looking at all the new people he had met that morning alone. After talking and eating, Zach and Milo split off from the group heading to their homeroom class. When arriving, they took seats next to each other and pulled out their notebooks to prepare for class. In the meantime, Waki seemed worn out from all the new stimuli around him, and hopped in Zach's backpack. Soon class was starting and Waki was fast asleep.

Ms. Teller made her way to the front of the class, before welcoming everyone in.

"With this being our last week of class, I wanted to let you know what to expect for next week's final exams," she said.

Ms. Teller then went on to inform them of the contents of their exams. Their normal classes would proceed as they normally would for an exam; they would have a math test for their math class. For their Gatecrashing 101 class, which was the class they had with Ms. Teller would have written exam where they would have to answer questions about the information they had learned, such as the different types of dimensional doors. This would also be their final exam they'd take.

After covering the classes that would have written exams, she continued on to describe the contents of their practical classes' exam. For their practical classes, the combat class and practical training, they would be put in a sparring match against their fellow classmates which would be graded by a panel of judges. Unlike the usual spars that they had done so far, the students would be allowed to use both their ability and their weapon in tandem.

Thanks to this information Milo had a new goal to achieve before the final exams started, and that was to get to level 25 and unlock his next skill on his Plunder tab. The opponents of their sparring match would be determined the day of the exam, so Milo wouldn't be able to come up with a plan ahead of time. Having his new skill unlocked could be a trump card for him when the time of the exam came.

After classes ended for the day, Milo went to the Sim Room to grind some experience. When arriving at the Sim Room this time, he discovered something new where one would go when signing in to reserve a station.

When he approached the lady working the counter, he noticed a silver looking machine with a glass front behind her. When asking about it, the machine turned out to be a scanner that could replicate the object placed inside it in the simulation, Milo then pulled out his gauntlets and his chain sickle and asked the lady working the counter if they could be scanned. She took each and placed them into the scanner one at a time, pausing in between to allow the machine to finish scanning each. After both were done, Milo had to put in his login information for them to be tied to his account.

After each of his pieces of equipment were scanned and added to his account, Milo made his way over to his designated station and logged into the simulation. In his lobby, Milo went into the options and selected his chain sickle and gauntlets that were recently scanned. Once he equipped them both he took a closer look and was amazed to see how well the items were scanned into the game. All the fine details he had taken notice of outside the game were perfectly replicated inside the simulation.

After marveling at how far technology had come, Milo did a few pvp matches before deciding to fight waves of monsters in the PVE mode. A few hours later, Milo had finally climbed up to level 20. It took a lot longer than he was expecting and he soon realized he'd have to have no life for the next few days in order to reach his goal, and only grind in the game.

After two days Milo's level rose to 22 and he had studied as much as he could for his other exams. Another day passed and he had gotten to level 23. After five he was at 24 and that left two days to raise his level one more time before his week of exams began. The X ranked class were scheduled to take their practical exams before any of their other classes. Milo would be cutting it close but his goal was still attainable.

Right when he woke up, Milo made his way over to the Sim Room and hopped right back into the grind. After a few hours, he logged out as he needed to get some food. After eating his meal it was back to work. This schedule was repeated the next day and he had finally reached his goal.

Seeing this Milo heaved a sigh of relief. He was exhausted and bored from repeating the same thing for the past week. He exited the Sim Room and made his way back to his dorm. Once their he went to his usual spot in the bathroom to check out his status screen.
