Leaving the ssroom, Arthur, I, and the rest of the ss headed toward the ce where their first practical lesson was going to happen.


    From the main building, they headed down to a lower area built right next to it right above one of the mountain''s smaller peaks. This building was considerably smaller but as eye-pleasing as every other area of the institution. However, the main difference between the two areas was the design.


    The entire building was simply separated into several floors, each floor filled with ssrooms.


    ''Wait, ssrooms?'' Arthur frowned while looking around him. ''This ce lookspletely different yet at the same time… Looks the same?'' He thought to himself. ''But… Why are we here? Aren''t we going to practice weapons?''


    The students around him had the same confused looks. But, they still walked through the ce, heading to the highest floor where their ss was. There, upon opening the door, they were met with a surprising sight.


    The ssroom, while having the same design, did not have seats or tables. Instead, there were rows and rows of FICs lined up perfectly.


    "FICs? Wait…" Arthur frowned.


    "It seems we are not going to practice in the real world." I finished his sentence, confirming his suspicion.


    "Practicing inside the game… Actually, that makes a lot of sense." Arthur nodded. ''Training with weapons in the real world is very dangerous and could cause more harm than good. In the virtual world, there was no worry about being harmed or injured. But… These don''t look like the FICs we have.''


    The first thing he noticed about these capsules was that they had no actual shy colors or designs like normal FICs. Instead, they were grey and identical to one another as if they were mass manufactured together.


    "Wait, aren''t we going to use our FICs?"


    "They''re giving us new ones."


    "But, I won''t use mine? My character is super strong!"


    The other students shared Arthur''s sentiment in that regard. They didn''t want to use other FICs.


    "Please, take your spots."


    At that moment, the professor walked into the ssroom with the usual look on his face. Everyone stared at him immediately.


    "Professor, can you exin what is happening?"


    "First, each one take your spot, I will exin once we''re inside the capsules." He said as he opened his capsule and sat inside. The students were confused but nobody dared to question him as they walked to their spots and opened their capsules.


    ''Who thought I would ever get into one FIC? Now I got into two. Truly fate can be unexpected.'' Arthur thought to himself as he sat inside and activated the capsule. He was d that the system was basically the same as his FIC so he didn''t have to search for the way to activate it.


    The ss door slowly closed and his eyes closed along with it. A few secondster, the darkness in his mind lit up and he found himself inside apletely different world. Looking around him curiously, Arthur was quite taken aback by what he saw.


    The ce could only be described as a massive, square chamber, at least several hundred meters in length and width. Its walls werepletely white yet also divided into squares with blue lines like a chessboard. There were no real defining features of this ce. Apletely nk and empty area.


    "What is this ce?" He muttered. ''It does look like some kind of sandbox area. Hm, actually, that does exin what this is.''


    Sandbox areas were amon thing in games. A ce where the yer has full control and can do whatever they want with no limits that the usual game puts on them. In other words, it was the perfect ce to experiment, practice, and learn without worrying about threats or consequences of failure.


    Slowly, his eyes shifted to his body. He was d that he had the same body as the real world after the changes. But, he did not see his usual items. Instead, he was wearing a white shirt, brown pants, and brown boots, simr to the attire he had uponnding in the Divine Realm.


    "Wow, to the beginning we go back again." He muttered as he moved his hands a little to get ustomed to the ce. Slowly, students started appearing all around him.


    "Woah!"


    "What the hell?!"


    "Where are we?"


    Confused voices echoed across the entire chamber as the students looked around. Then, right in front of them, Theodore appeared, d in simr clothes that didn''t seem to diminish his aura at all.


    "Wee to the ''Training Realm''. This is a special ce designed by Divinity Corp for students to practice their skills and abilities. This shall be the ce where everyone will practice their technique."


    "What about our characters? Aren''t we going to use them?"


    "There is no need for them. You''re simply to train. So, you are given basic items and basic stats so that you canpletely focus on technique and smaller details. DO is a game that requires the yer to execute countless micro-actions sessively rather than one single action to emerge victorious. In the Divine Realm, you wille across endless types of monsters and many of them are going to be the exact counter to your abilities. What would you do in such a situation?" He asked as he looked at every single student there.


    Many of them immediately had a difficult expression as they realized the w in their logic. It was indeed true that the enemies in this world are endless and their abilities are endless. Coming across a monster that counters you is way more probable than one would expect.


    That is when techniquees into y. Having a perfect technique could turn the battle into a battle of wits rather than pure power, something that gives the yer a much higher chance of winning in an otherwise lost battle.


    "I see that you understand what I''m saying. Good. Now, if you try to open the menu, you will be able to see that you have more options than usual." He said.


    Instinctively, the students opened the menu. There, they found the usual options they knew and two new ones they had never seen before.


    [Basic Weapons]


    [Basic Armor]


    Tapping on one of them, Arthur found himself looking at a very long menu of weapons, from swords to hammers to cleavers and even more niche weapons like pickaxes. They came in all kinds of shapes and types, fitting basically every single battle style there is.


    "Wow…There are even shovels." Arthur muttered as he skimmed through it. Then, he closed that option and opened the other one.


    There, he found light armor, heavy armor, medium armor, helmets, boots, chesttes, and even knee guards.


    "There you will find every single weapon and armor you might think of. They are all basic level 1s weapons to make sure nothing can affect the assessment of the student''s abilities. Now, please find the weapon you are mostfortable with. You have a few minutes to choose freely."


    A//N: Sorry, it took me way more than 2 days to upload all 10 chapters. Have been really busy. In any case, the updates will continue normally. Have a nice day.
