He began taking his bath, and by the time he was done, he was feeling so refreshed. He dried himself and put on his outfits, then he came out of the bathroom carrying the bucket and the rest of the other stuff. Strolling along the compound heading to the building where the A class was situated, he couldn't help but glance at the activities taking place on the compound.
Those people training, especially those with skills, those that were creating things...they were doing a great job. He met Miya, then she handed him some clothes and took him to a certain compartment at the other building. Then she said to him,
"This is where you'll be spending the night with the rest of other students. All the students making use of this room are A class. Change up here, and as for the toothbrush, toothpaste, and so on, those are your belongings now. I'll be going".
And with that, she sauntered away. Hugo glanced at the vast room, so this is where he'll be spending the night? From the way the beds were made, he could tell that lots of people were making use of this room. The room was filled with bunk beds, only bunk beds, about 12 sets of them. A person would sleep on top, and a person would sleep under.
This was the work of the carpenters, they were the ones that created these, they were doing a great job. And not forgetting the seamstresses too, they also played a huge role in creating these beds. After the carpenters were done with the part that concerned wood, the seamstresses would then be given foams, then they'll go through the stress of covering the foams with clothes and stitching them round.
It wasn't easy stuff...at all. Hugo arranged his belongings at a particular spot, then he changed up. Now, he was wearing new outfits. Before, he was putting on a brown t-shirt and baggy black trousers, but now, he was wearing a light green t-shirt and blue trousers. Now that he was alone, it was about time to speak to his system.
The system told him that once he gets to this academy, he'll find out the cause of this apocalypse, but she was wrong...she was lying. He called out on her,
"System".
There was no response, was she bent on ignoring him knowing what he wanted to ask? He called out on her once again,
"System".
And she responded this time, [ Yes, host]
"You told me that I'll find out the cause of this apocalypse once I get to this academy, but I didn't. Two experienced men couldn't tell me the cause of the apocalypse, they don't have information about it. You lied to me". Hugo voiced out.
[ I didn't lie to you, host. The cause of the apocalypse would later reveal itself]
"But people would have to work for it to reveal itself, things would have to be done for it to reveal itself. And my thinking was that they know the cause of the apocalypse already, your words deceived me".
[ Well, host, it has been done, there's nothing we can do about it]
Like seriously? Can you believe what the system was telling him? He said to the system once again,
"You know the cause of the apocalypse, why don't you just tell me?".
[ I can't, it's prohibited]
Hugo sighed, he remembered getting 100 Exp from completing his quest of getting to this academy, he wanted to see if it was intact in his stats and if it added anything to his stats points, so he uttered to the system once again,
"System, can I see my stats?".
[ Sure]
That interface appeared in front of Hugo, and this is what he saw there,
[ Name: Hugo Tuffin]
[ Age: 18]
[ Level: 1]
Agility: 7
Endurance: 8
Physical DMG: 3
Strength: 6
Speed: 6
Exp: 100/300
Yeah, he got 100 Exp from completing his first quest, and it's been added to his Exp, he's confirmed that. But from what he saw, none of his stats points increased, not even a single point was added to them. Why did completing the quest not have any effect on them? He decided to ask the system,
"System, not even a single point was added to my stats, why?".
[ That's 'cause you haven't started training. Start training, and your stats points would increase]
"That's not what I mean. What I'm trying to say is that completing the quest didn't have any effect on my stats. Wasn't it supposed to affect it?".
[ Not yet, that would start happening when you level up, when you make it to level 2. One or two points would be added to your stats for each quest you accomplish]
"OK, understood. I'll be going now". Hugo uttered, he said that to indicate that their conversation was over...and he was truly going out of the room.
He stepped out of the room, and strolling along the compound, he couldn't help but stare at those training again. He watched as the adults assisted them train, as known, the females training the females, and the males training the males. All the adults training the students were once soldiers, troops under Captain Wayne...he was their captain.
Well, they were still soldiers now, but for another purpose...to fight zombies, protect themselves, protect others. And all the students here were all soldiers too, for the same purpose. As he watched the students train, he remembered that Captain Wayne was the one that was gonna begin his training...and remembering it made him shiver a little.
A whole captain was the one that was gonna begin his training? A soldier that had seen lots of things? A soldier that had faced injustice, a soldier that created this academy with the help of his comrades? Well, Hugo couldn't help but think of the manner he was gonna use in training him. Would he train him mildly or harshly?
Well, he'll find out tomorrow once the training starts. He could feel the slight rumbling of his stomach, he wanted to eat something. When would everyone come together to eat? At what time would they go to the cafeteria? Everyone was busy with their activities, weren't they hungry? Definitely, they must have eaten this morning, that's why they were so full of energy.
He decided to go to the A class to see what was happening there, so he began strolling to the building where the A class was situated. He got to the building and began mounting the staircase. Reaching the A class, he peeped, and much wasn't happening there...only a few students were inside. He wasted no time as he began sauntering away.
As he strolled, he thought of the F class and S class, he was told of them, but he hasn't seen them. Or was an A class student prohibited to see or go near their classes? Whether it was prohibited or not, he wanted to see them, and he was gonna see them. But the little problem was, which building were they located? There were three buildings on this compound.
Well, seems like he's got some work to do, he'll go to the first building and search around, and if he doesn't see them...he'll go to the next building. He evacuated the building and began strolling to the next building where the bathrooms were located. He got to the building and began mounting the staircase. Reaching the third floor, he began sauntering along its corridor.
As he strolled, he glanced through the windows of each room, and he was seeing the same thing he saw when he first arrived in this academy and was strolling along the corridor of the second floor of the other building. He was seeing beds, tables, and other things a room should have. These weren't rooms of students, these were the rooms of the teachers...the adults.
But it's all cool though, they were the adults, so their rooms were supposed to be more comfortable. At least, they were the ones that created this academy, so their possessions should be better. He continued sauntering while glancing at each door and window looking for Class F or Class S. He's reached the end of the third floor, but he didn't sight any compartment with students in it.
He decided that he'll go check the second floor, so he began mounting the staircase that led to the second floor. Reaching the second floor, he began sauntering across it while doing the same thing, glancing through windows and doors...simply put, he was glancing at each compartment. He sighted some teachers in their rooms, and some were empty.
He was almost reaching the end of the second floor when he felt like someone passed his back. He glanced back, but he saw nothing, no one, so he glanced front once again. And he was shocked to see a guy dressed in black standing in front of him holding a short knife in his hand...he must be an S class student.
