Standing up and looking out of the window, the sky had gotten dark. The white clock on the wall indicated that the time was 19.56.

There were the sounds of cars passing by outside the window while other dormitories had gone quiet.

Garen stuck his head outside and looked around. There were barely any sounds.

“This time is the time when most students train their Willpower. It’s very quiet. At this time, there should also be no one using the Single Control Room and the Enlightening Room. After all, the Enlightening Room’s equipment to enlighten Willpower is only effective for those who are exposed to the Willpower training for the first time.”

Garen made up his mind and put on a clean set of uniform, taking the key with him. Looking in the mirror which reflected his face half-covered by his black hair, he felt uncomfortable and took a rubber band to tie it into a small ponytail. He combed at the stray hairs with his hand and now he looked more refreshed.

White pale complexion, high bridge nose, pink lips and eyes that gave off a bleak and languid feeling. This was Garen’s disguise or putting it in other words, saving his energy.

“This body is still young... its malleability is quite good,” Garen pulled back his hair and threw the dirty clothes into the automatic washing machine before opening the door and walking out.

Outside the door, there were lots of students passing by. There were sounds of chatter and laughter and occasionally the electronic sounds of unknown devices.

After the door was closed, Garen walked along the corridor to the exit of the dormitory building. The sky had completely turned dark outside. Not far away, the streetlights formed a line into the distance. Some students were talking under the streetlights.

Recalling the location of the Enlightening Room, Garen walked along the alloyed path leading to the outside. Soon, the dormitory behind him became smaller and the lights became dimmer.

Walking along the road fence, after following the electronic road signs around several corners and intersections, Garen quickly found the dark testing room.

The Enlightening Room was an independent region. It was called a room but it was actually a large area consisting of several Blackboard buildings.

The region was surrounded by a fence and there was a black staircase going upward at the gate.

When Garen arrived here, a male student was sitting on the metal stairs with his sleeves and pant legs rolled up, his head tilted down without saying anything. Garen did not know what he was doing.

Casually glancing at him, Garen passed by his side and crossed over the region’s gate.

‘Scanning,’ a muffled electronic sound came from above the door frame.

Garen paused and waited until the scan was over before going in.

The Enlightening Room was covered in yellowish light. Some areas had lights and some had not, and these lights divided the whole place into a few areas.

“Luckily, it’s open all day,” Garen walked into the first Blackboard building door and walked along the cold dim passage.

He randomly chose an Enlightening Room and pushed the door. It was empty inside except for a circular equipment in the center which looked like a large black stone.

Garen walked to the edge, took out his student card and swipe the card in the slot.

Beep....

In the center of the entire Enlightening Room, a white shaft of light immediately beamed down on the black stone equipment.

Garen arrived and lay down on the surface of the equipment following his memory.

‘Enlightening start...’

‘Scanning the brainwave....’

‘Scanning the body index...’

‘All parameters passed, starting enlightening...’

After a while, in the midst of the light, a dazzling bright white light as thick as a pencil suddenly dropped down between Garen’s eyebrows like a laser.

‘Please train according to training method....’ the mechanical voice continued.

Garen closed his eyes and began to concentrate in the pit of his stomach, visualizing the mind in the pit of the stomach.

The Enlightening Room was different from the room at the dormitory. There seemed to be a kind of force helping Garen to easily gather his consciousness in the pit of his stomach.

Not even ten minutes passed, he had completely entered into the training method state and treat the stomach as a second brain.

This kind of training was like waking up from sleeping. Garen felt refreshed after the sleep.

Looking at his surroundings, there was no movement. There was no sound outside in the corridor either. It seemed as though he was the only one in this entire region.

Getting up from the black stone table with a bit of anticipation, he recalled the feeling of the process when he went into training.

Closing his eyes, he only thought a bit before instantly entering the state of the training method that he imagined.

“The effect is not bad. It was said that the Enlightening in the Enlightening Room was the human body’s greatest progress. Did I make any progress?”

Carefully identifying the Willpower in the pit of his stomach, disappointment flashed in Garen’s eyes.

“Nothing has changed... Looks like this body does not have any talent.”

Getting up from the equipment, he tidied up his uniform before opening the door and walking out. The lights in the room behind him were automatically switched off the moment the door closed.

His surroundings were quiet except for the sound of talking and reprimanding from afar.

Garen did not bother himself with it. From Nonosiva’s memories, he knew that only the freshman who would come to this area once a year. It was vacant most of the time and no one would be around. This large area was vacant and not in use and was thus the ideal area for violence and dating. The previous Nono occasionally came here and saw such occurrences several times and had gotten used to it.

Following the corridor to the outside, Garen passed by a glass corridor on his right side and saw that a little girl was surrounded by a group of girls outside on the small garden. They were pointing fingers but Garen was not sure what it was. The light was dim and the corner was in one of the darker areas, so Garen could not see anything clearly.

He was too lazy to pay any more attention to them and immediately left the corridor. Among the girls there, the one leading the group turned back and looked at him. Although the person was very pretty and her figure was not bad, her eyes were fierce.

Those girls did not pay any more attention to him and continued talking to the one that was surrounded by them. They seemed to be shouting.

Garen exited the corridor and quickly left the Enlightening area. After the first Enlightening, it would be easier for him to enter the training method state. In the future, he would just come over once in a while to renew that feeling. There was no need to come here frequently.

“But this place is very quiet, it’s a very suitable location for training alone,” there were some things that were not suitable to train in the dormitory, especially when some of the necessary steps of the process included things like hitting training. This was the outer techniques’ most basic part. The noise in the dormitory was too loud but this place, on the other hand, was quiet. The monitoring was also lax and most of them were useless, making this place a very suitable training environment.

Looking at his watch, the time had exceeded nine o’clock. This meant that he had stayed at the Enlightening Room for more than an hour.

“There’s still time to go to the Simulation Room.”

The Simulation Room was located at the edge of the Enlightening region. He just had to follow a small path and turn a corner and he would be at the Simulation Room.

When Garen arrived, there were people coming and going. The students that still trained hard at night were not few. Some were sweating and stank, some were looking very sad, and some were pale; it seemed their energy consumption had been too much.

There were people who often stayed up late to train, and people who sought peaceful challenges and sparring also came here.

This place was divided into the free area and toll area. Nono had never gone into the toll area so he did not know what was in there.

Following the path to the free area, there were more and more people. Most of the students were coming out, regardless of gender. A lot of girls were looking untidy. In just ten seconds, Garen had already seen four or five girls mixing with more than ten guys coming out. Similarly, they stank of sweat and they had no scruples about their images.

Thinking about it, it all made sense. Having spent so much energy training, would they have the time to dress up? If they did not dress up, of the ten points, they would still get five points.

Walking down the aisle, the right side of the free area had a silver metallic door. It was oval and the door kept opening and closing. The students who came out occasionally were all clean and tidy whether they were males or females, completely different from the students who came out of the free area.

That side was the toll area.

Garen passed by the entrance of the toll area and took a look inside. There were beautiful silver boxes in the form of life maintenance pods arranged in two rows inside.

Garen did not take another look and headed inside at a faster pace.

Inside the free area were also rows upon rows of simulation devices. The Cockpits that were hemispherical were arranged in rows like black eggshells. The ventilation system on top was constantly making hissing sounds, sucking all the strong smells of sweat out of here.

The time now was not considered late. There were still a lot of people around.

Garen found a vacant machine and sat in it. He took out his student card and swiped it once before he put on the helmet before him and lay down.

It felt like surfing the internet at an internet café.

The sight before him was dark.

Di....

Instantly, a white line lit up. Following it was a rotating colorful Rubik’s cube icon.

‘Welcome to the Simulation Battle Platform, the student number ID number has been inserted.’

‘Loading the record....’ the electronic voice continued.

‘Mister Goof, please select your model.’

Garen already felt exhausted. He never thought that the previous Nonosiva would get a nickname that could make people so speechless.

However, immediately, a blue platform with a flashing red light appeared. On top of it stood three humanoid Mechs. One was white in color and the other two were red. Their structures did not look complex and precise and they also did not have any aesthetic sense. Apparently, they were some of the most common goods.

He randomly selected a red humanoid Mech: Kegus General Mech 1.

‘Kegus 1, long-range Mech, Armor Level 1, Fatal Point 3, Basic laser gun range 50 meters, Lethality Level 1, Mech Speed Level 2.’

‘Overall evaluation: Level 1 Mech (Free Basic Mech)’

“All of them are about the same, one has a thicker armor at Level 2, another has higher lethality, but this one has a higher speed. This is it.”

Ever since Buddha Mother, this was the second time Garen was in control of a Mech. Everything was quite fresh to him now.

‘Entering holographic simulation state....’

With a hissing sound, Garen felt that his brain was abruptly disoriented and his whole body had entered another environment.

In front of him was a circular glass window where he could see that the outside was a night sky full of twinkling stars.

A clear screen floated in front of him, it was a white window similar to the battle platform. Inside the window were rows of buttons and small windows. It was full of writings.

‘Reward 1000 Universal Units Challenge——Glow’ ‘Reward 200 Universal Units Challenge——Geruby’ ‘Death Match (Started) ——Naro vs Corduba’

‘Practice Match—unnamed’ ‘Practice Match—unnamed’ ‘Practice Match—unnamed’...
