The place to eat breakfast is still in yesterday's auditorium, but the dishes are no longer so simple. Whenever a student takes a seat in his seat, a silver screen similar to a menu will automatically light up on the table in front of him, which reads: Sumptuous Meal, Nutrition Package, Lite Meal, and so on. At the end of each package, it is stated that the corresponding points will be deducted.

The premise is like a combination of good news and bad news for the students, and the good news is that they don't have to live on food like they didn't have to choose from yesterday. The bad news is that even if they don't enter the imaginary space, they can't keep their scores increasing unabated.

"Judging from this consumption, you have to enter the primary battlefield at least twice a day to ensure a day's food supply." Xia Yan tried to order a lite package and said, this is the cheapest of the three packages, only needs to consume 50 points.

"The imaginary space has all moved to the training tower on the west side of the academy, as if the number of times you can enter it per day is limited." Asan Lan said as he sat in the seat to his right. She saw that Xia Yan's set meal was only a croissant, an apple, and a glass of milk, so she paused slightly, and then changed her own set meal with his. "I should have to consume a lot of physical strength today, and eating this alone is not enough." She said calmly.

"And what do you do?" Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Qianlan and said.

"Girls don't eat much in the first place." Asa Lan told him.

"Morning, both." Nishizawa yawned as he sat down on the empty seat to the left of Xia Yan and greeted him and Asarashi, "Being woken up early in the morning really doesn't have much appetite." He yawned again and ordered a luxury package that cost 150 cents.

"I'm curious what it's like when you have an appetite." Xia Yan teased as he watched a large portion of cooked food such as barbecue and ham be delivered to Nishizawa.

"Looks good." Nishizawa pretended not to hear, picked up a knife and fork and cut a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Still can't find the information of the old students, right?" Xia Yan asked Asashi while spreading peanut butter on his toast bread.

"Well, the areas on the map that are currently open are all for new students, including the cafeteria, rest area, assembly area, training tower, and classrooms." Shan Lan looked at the information on the map and said, "Today's class is in the area that was updated in the morning, and I couldn't see it yesterday." ”

"I really don't understand what an academy has to keep secrets." Nishizawa said as he chewed on the grilled bacon, "We'll know sooner or later, won't we?" Whether it is the old students, the assessment system, or the scandals of the teachers, as long as you stay here, these will sooner or later get into your ears like the noise that this world is full of, and it is difficult to know it. ”

"yes, you're on the point." Xia Yan smiled and said, "The premise is to be able to stay here." ”

"I don't think it's that hard," Nishizawa said with a shrug of his shoulders, "I didn't have to worry about the score becoming 0 if I entered the imaginary space yesterday a few times." ”

"You're so optimistic." Asashi looked at him and said.

"Ah, I'm an optimist." Nishizawa touched the oil on his face with a napkin and smiled at her, "It's everywhere." ”

"Good morning, everyone," a white screen appeared on the stage of the auditorium, and Mr. Bai's smiling face appeared on the screen, "If you have finished breakfast, please arrive at the teaching location on the map within five minutes, and I will give you the first lesson today." ”

"Five minutes should be enough from here." Asa-lan said, looking at the map.

"I'm really looking forward to what we're going to do in the first lesson......" Nishizawa said, sipping the sour plum soup.

Even after breakfast, most of the students still looked sleepy-eyed. Everyone staggered to the location marked on the map, passing some quaint and solemn towers along the way, and standing silently under the blue and blue sky that had not yet fully brightened. After a few turns in the path, a huge dusty ruin appeared in front of the students.

The ruins once appeared to be a bustling commercial center, with tall office buildings lined up crookedly, many of which had been broken and stacked on top of each other. The walls are covered with a thick layer of white moss, blending perfectly with the rubble on the ground and abandoned cars, and the entire ruin looks as if it has been erased of color, leaving only black and white.

"What is this?" A male student rubbed his eyes and said to the ruins in front of him. Apparently I thought it was a hallucination that I didn't wake up to.

"Good morning, everybody." A voice drew everyone's attention from the ruins, and Mr. Bai stood in front of a crumbling building to greet everyone, and a huge white box sat beside him, and Romeo crouched on it, combing his tail. "I'm glad you found it within the allotted time. Before I begin today's lesson, I would like to ask a question. He smiled and looked at the mentally drained students, "Does anyone know about the 'Gear Monster'?" ”

Xia Yan and Qianlan both heard this term for the first time, and when they saw Nishizawa's blank gaze, Xia Yan shook his head slightly.

"The 'Gear Monster' is an element of a spatial rift, a small monster with action and a certain lethality, often hiding in ruins and garbage heaps, feeding on time and space." A handsome young man with blue hair and a statue-like face raised his hand in reply. "A spatial rift is a rare energy barrier that is used to imprison a certain space. It is similar to the imaginary space, but it is larger than the imaginary space, and the scenes in the spatial cracks are real. Seeing the puzzled expressions of some of the students on the side, he added.

"The answer is very good, this is very remote knowledge, and it is rare for students to know." Mr. Bai smiled and said to the student, "Senyue Fengxin, add 20 points." ”

"Ah, you will get extra points for answering the questions asked by the teacher correctly." Mr. Bai remembered something and said to everyone, "Of course, if you answer incorrectly, you will lose points." He added with a smile.

"What, this kind of rule should have been told to us earlier!"

"Good thing I didn't raise my hand just now."

The students throbbed, but Mr. Bai didn't care at all, he pointed to the ruins behind him and continued; "There are a certain number of gear monsters hidden in this ruin, and every time the spatial rift opens, they take the opportunity to escape inside, hiding in the ruins and devouring everything around them. It is estimated that in a few years, this space will be completely absorbed by them. Mr. Bai smiled and introduced to everyone, as if he was explaining to them the habits of a cute wild animal.

"Our lesson today is to capture the 'Gear Monster'." Mr. Bai took out an old-fashioned silver pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "'Gear Monsters' only move in low-light environments, and they disappear as soon as the sun comes out. You have about an hour and a half left. Check the message now, the photo of the 'Gear Monster' should have been sent to you. ”

Xia Yan pressed his hand on the abandoned pillar on the side, and in the "News" column, he saw new information. He clicked on the message, and a purple-black monster with a large head and a weak body appeared. The gear monster has two slightly raised goldfish eyes, soybean-sized eyes that are skewed in different directions, and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, which looks very terrifying.

"You want us to dig through the garbage heap to find this disgusting thing?" Karina asked with a look of disgust upon seeing the photo.

"That's right." Mr. Bai said with a smile, as if he was glad that some students realized this so quickly, "After an hour and a half, you can still gather here, you can use any method, as long as each person catches 5 gear monsters in the end." Once found, nail it with this spike so that they cannot move and cannot disappear. and put it in this special pocket," he gestured to the side of the chest, from which Romeo jumped down, and when opened, it was divided into two compartments, one filled with black diamond-shaped nails about a foot long, and each side of the nail was engraved with a six-pointed star. The other compartment was stuffed with some smooth, backpack-like gray bags that were smaller and thinner than the backpack. "One pocket can hold about 15 gear monsters."

"I don't have classes very often, but there is one thing, anyone who doesn't pass in my course, no matter how many points you have left, will be eliminated directly." Mr. Bai said quietly.

"What? Outright elimination? The students were in an uproar, and the students who were still a little sleepy also woke up at this time, and huge pressure followed.

"I'll just say that the rules of this kind of academy are simply messed up." Karina said through gritted teeth. "Those in power play tricks and treat us students as monkeys."

"It's really ironic to say that from the mouth of the royal family," Mr. Bai said as he looked at her with a smile, "I made it very clear yesterday about the academy's management system. Anyone who wants to abstain from voting, I welcome it. ”

After speaking, he looked at the students quietly, as if waiting for someone to jump out and say, "I'll quit!" But after a while, the noise of the students gradually faded away, and Karina glared at Mr. Bai fiercely, without saying anything.

Mr. Bai seemed to sigh a little disappointed and said to everyone, "Okay, then our opinion will be agreed." Well, there's one more thing next," he said as if remembering something, "Nishizawa, Bud Johnson, Bernie Johnson, and Izumi Watanabe, you seem to be kindly reminding you to wake up this morning that the service robot has been damaged, right?" ”

Xia Yan looked at Nishizawa beside him with some surprise, and when he heard the slime say that someone next door to him had destroyed the robot in the room, the first thing he thought of was the man wearing the fox mask.

"Ah, that guy was so noisy, I'll burn it." Nishizawa said lightly.

"I ...... I just accidentally touched it, and who knew it would fall out of the air and shatter. Bud muttered under his breath, a burly man with a square face with a long beard and one of his mechanical arms, standing in the middle of the cadets looking very unfitting. Bernie is his younger brother, and he is also very strong. They stood together, but Bernie didn't speak, but looked at Mr. White with a dull expression. The young man named Izumi Watanabe stood at the edge of the crowd with a gloomy face, his eyes hidden in his cruelty, and he said almost without moving his lips: "I just reflexively put an end to the signal that was judged to be dangerous." ”

Mr. Bai smiled when he heard this, and said to them: "According to the regulations of the academy, those who deliberately damage public property, especially precision instruments, will be expelled directly." ”

"What? You can fix that kind of thing casually, right? Bud was taken aback.

"It's not a matter of fixing things." Mr. Bai said slowly, "If all the students have this wayward mindset and destroy our support staff like pests, then I will have to ask that the City of Steam be moved here to be responsible for repairing these robots every day." ”

"Just tell me what the arrangement is." Nishizawa said calmly, "If we're going to be expelled, I'm afraid we're already on our way home like the three of us yesterday, right?" ”

"You're smart, Young City Lord Nishizawa." Mr. Bai smiled at him, "I know that you have a lot of complaints about the management system of this academy," he glanced at Karina who was not far away and said, "This time, the academy did not explain the rules to you in advance, so I can make an exception and give you a chance to remedy." ”

The look on Bard's face eased, and Nishizawa and the others were still staring intently at Mr. Bai.

"All of your points are 0, and the amount of tasks you have today is doubled. If each person catches 10 cogwheel monsters within the allotted time, they will receive a reward of 200 points. Mr. Bai said to the four of them, "The number of times a day in the imaginary space is limited to: 5 times for the low level, 3 times for the middle level, and 1 time for the high level. 200 points is enough for you to start again. ”

"Then it's settled." Nishizawa nodded in agreement, put his hands in his trouser pockets, winked at Xia Yan and Asaarashi, and was the first to walk towards the box with nails.

Bud opened his mouth to look at Mr. Haku, and then at Nishizawa. Then he gritted his teeth and walked towards the box. His brother followed him. Izumi Watanabe glanced at the three of them coldly, and walked over as well.

"Alright, everyone, hurry up." Mr. Bai glanced at the pocket watch again, picked up Romeo on the ground, turned to everyone and said, "There is still 1 hour and 15 minutes before the sun comes out." ”
