After a short walk, I arrived at the place with the most presence on it.

It turned out to be a cafeteria. No wonder there are a lot of people here.

I touch my empty stomach that craves to eat something delicious.

Following the crowd of students, I join the queue to get my lunch.

Even though there is someone new here, which is me, no one takes a second glance.

Is it because there are so many people here that it was hard to remember them all?

Or maybe because there is always a crowd of people who join the adventure guild, which made them get used to the new face.

Either way, I just want to fill my stomach before doing some hard training.

I listened to the people chatting as I waited in the queue; I tried to gather as much useful information as I could before I planned my next step.

It really is a good decision on my part to go in here.

After a while I finally arrived in front of the cafeteria counter.

I look at the menu and raise an eyebrow in surprise.

From the looks of it, they did not accept a coin currency here.

In the place of money, they use a point, which I did not have.

Before I took a step back from the queue, I tried to look for something that did not require the use of points.

Luckily there is one menu that did not require a point; heck, it did not even need anything; in other words, it was free.

It was a hard black bread, a meal that I usually eat at the farm.

With no other choice, I picked that as my choice, which the cafeteria staff quickly gave out.

I walk toward the corner of the cafeteria and notice that I was not the only broke student here, as I see some students also have the same meal as me.

That lifts up my spirit a little, as they say, misery loves company.

I place my meal, 6 pieces of hard black bread that I shamelessly order. Hey, if it was free, then I would take as much as my stomach can take.

Being prideful can only be done if you are rich; if you are poor, then better be shameless, I say.

Ignoring all the pitying gazes and snickers, I continue to eat my fill.

“Look, another poor one is coming for a free meal.”

“You’re right, it’s really making me question if they think this place is just for the free food.”

“This is an adventure academy, not a beggar palace; they should just quit before they embarrass us any further!”

Three boys came near me and gave disparaging words.

The one in the middle, with a handsome face, looks like the leader; he brought with him a plate full of expensive-looking meals.

The one at his left with a fat boy with a mountain of food on his plate

While the one on the right side of the leader looks like an intellectual guy brought a plate of the most normal-looking meal out of the bunch.

Even though I did not care for one bit of what they said (which is not true), the way they look at me really bothers me.

So, while they pass me by and continue with degrading words, I raise up and use one of the breads to smack the leader right in the head.

The sound the hard bread makes as it makes contact with the fool's head is really satisfying.

Because I already started the fight, it’s better if I just finish it while at it.

Before the leader can turn and fight back, I use my plate as a blunt weapon to bash his head, effectively knocking him out of the fight.

Before he can fall and ruin his expensive-looking meal, I saved it as my reward for defeating him.

The two of his friends are looking at him dumbfoundedly.

Oh yeah, they also mock me alright, so it's best to give them a lesson.

I give the intellectual looking guy an uppercut which also give him the same ending as the hadsome looking guy

The fat boy finally reacts after two of his friends are already out of the picture.

While still holding his mountain of meal on his plate, he tried to ram me with his body.

I easily evade him by jumping to the side.

As his big body passed me by, I turned and swung my blunt weapon toward him.

It struck him right at the back of his head.

I thought it was enough to take him down just like his leader.

But it seems I was wrong because he did not go down.

He only looked at me angrily as he tried to ram me one more time.

I evaded him one more time but did not try to strike him at his head again.

This time I go low and strike his leg.

As they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

It was effective as he slid down forward after I took his leg out of the picture.

I still don’t think it can take him down that easily, so I sit on his body and struggle with him.

While he was struggling and writhing, I continued to take the breath out of him until he passed out.

When he finally went down, I let him go and go back to my seat.

Looking at the expensive-looking meal, I smile and eat it while savoring every bite.

After finishing with the meal, I left the cafeteria to go toward the quest hall.

The quest hall is where all the requests are displayed, and if I was not wrong, it was also a place where you could get the points.

It was a reasonable guess, right? If you finish the quest, you should be given suitable compensation.

This place doesn’t use money but coins, so … They must be giving out the points as the compensation instead of money.

After asking for the direction from the staff, I arrived at the quest hall.

Looking at the board filled with quests, I started to see them one by one.

The hardest request on the board belongs to a level 3 (apprentice) quest.

It said to bring down a rampaging beast horde in the eastern route.

They need at least 10 people, with one of them being level 3 (apprentice).

It was a good quest, but too bad I was only one person and haven’t socialized much.

Heck, forget about socializing. I was making trouble on the first day here.

Hope the staff just takes it as an everyday brawl and gives some warning before forgetting it all.

I take a look once again and take the most suitable quest from the boar.

Level 2 (graduate) quest

Hunt down lesser boar and bring back the corpse in good condition.

Reward 25 points

I was a hunter, so there is definitely nothing more suitable than this quest for me.

With a lighthearted feeling, I went to the guild staff to take my first ever quest.
