Unlike Jake, Lana, and Louise, who gained their VR helmets in the third month of the game, Karina and some of her friends gained them in the first month, but they didn't have much time to play due to the school. Still, they managed to enjoy themselves every time they logged in, and while they could have completed the requirements to move from the tutorial zone faster if they had the time due to Karina's innate skill, they managed to move on to the next part of the game after one month.
