The bell rang just as I got into class. In disguise with black hair and golden eyes, my naturally porcelain skin, and a face that was somewhere between cute and handsome, I cheerfully greeted everyone before taking my seat and putting on my VR headset.

Unlike the classrooms of decades ago filled with books, students now studied in a virtual classroom. This setup eliminated the hassle of forgetting materials. However, unlike video games, we had to use our real-life appearance and name to prevent chaos that would arise from different species avatars and weird usernames. This was to prevent people speaking like,

"Answer the question ChadGuy96"

or

"Please explain --- passage ,PrettyGirlGrandPrixWinner"

etc, etc.

The students replied with friendly greetings, though it was clear they were envious of me. Rihito, the persona I adopted, had perfect scores in everything. Despite their outward friendliness, I had no real friends.

Unlike Tsukasa, who was also a top student, Rihito seemed unreachable, exuding an aura that made him unapproachable.

Honestly i can tell from their reactions its probably something like intent, aura or just the scent of blood that's been engraved into my body my i have no clue on how to control it but i speculate it because my kill count reached almost 9-10 billion since the third world war the population has dropped down to 4.5 billion approximately. but honestly i think it would be controllable if i could control my emotions.

As for the classes there was nothing for me to learn i simply used open eyed meditation frankly i don't think id care about these stranger student even if i did have emotions. It feels like I'm in zoo but i can just think of it as special way to train.

The Project assigned to everyone is different we have both a solo project and a group one as for my solo project honestly I'm not doing anything about it since ill be out of this country by the time deadline strikes after handing over Tsukassa and retrieving the money.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

As for the group project, the class was divided into teams of four, making up eight teams in total.

We met in private virtual rooms to exchange data and conduct research. After completing this phase, we paired up for joint research. It was decided that Rihito and Raymond would be a pair since only he could keep up with Rihito's research.

Once the pairings were made, we logged out and removed our headsets. Our team was the last one left in the classroom. A boy with brown hair, blue eyes, good facial features, and a well-built body asked me, "So, whose house do you want to go to?"

"Mine," I replied.

“HEY!!” a voice interrupted. It was a black-haired girl with green eyes, medium tan skin, and an ice-cold demeanor, along with another girl who had dark brown hair, light brown eyes, medium skin, and a cheerful face. The black-haired girl with a ponytail and slim body was Mayumi, and the other with shoulder-length hair was Ria. They were both teammates in the project, and we were the last team remaining in the classroom since our discussion took a long time.

In my eyes Mayumi seems frustrated and wants out of this group quickly, she want's Ria and Tsukassa to leave her alone. she seems like the out going type but not friendly, like a character with sad or pitiful backstory who grown up to be strong yet distant. Ria seems cheery and nice but also has that weird malice vibe at times when she thinks she's alone like she want to watch the world burn or something like a two faced character. As for Raymond he seems fishy he's heavily guarded outside the academy and its hard to get a judge on his character since his activities are thoroughly hidden but if had to guess id say its like nice guy act he puts on but i cant pinpoint for what purpose.

On the surface this seem like harmonious group with 2 less talkative member that me and Mayumi and two chatterboxes but it make huge chaos if our personalities and back stories were exposed.

As we gathered for the last time to confirm our plans and separate for the day, Suddenly, a light shone on the floor with complex geometrical patterns. I heard a few voices exclaiming, “Aaaahhh!!” “Kyya!!!” “What’s happening?? ” The first two were from the girls, and the last was Ray. Then everything went blank.

When I came to, I was traveling through a mysterious, colorful tunnel in space. My body seemed translucent and whitish. I screamed, “did we not log out???AAHHHHH!!” to act in line with the others but there was no reply or sound anymore, Though I was already calm, I felt something strange gripping my chest—fear of the unknown.

As I thought about other topics, I realized my emotions were no longer suppressed. I felt elevated but only for a moment then i felt lonely, and the remnants of my mission/seal was no longer speaking to me," saying learn more".
