Chapter 3 - what?

The four figures walked towards the hallway..

The characters I've played over the 6 years.. are coming back to life in my very own eyes.

Eventually the rumors became louder.. that I could hear..

"No way, that's the famous Verdric..!"

"Wait, you're telling me? That's the kid who reached Magus level?? He even mastered four elements!"

"No way, that girl — is she from the Grandeur Merchant Guild?! Their tools and quality of artifacts are so good!"

"Oh my god, she's so pretty... when she's here."

"N-no way, Rias too???!"

"Wait, where? The descendant of the hero who started the great era!"

"Isolde is here too?? Whoa, holy crap, this is too historical a moment right here!"

"Isolde... she's so pretty!"

...

I quickly got out of the scene before I kept my gaze on them for a little longer.

"Still, I need to think how I am gonna use some kind of magic here—" Then suddenly a blue screen appeared... I flinched.

Ding!

[Welcome to Archlight Academy.]

Shit.. that scared me..

The blue screen changed..

Ding!

<[Ronan Farrow.]

[Buff: none]

[Skills: Trajectory Eyes.... (Info)]

[Skills 2: Liability... (Info)]

<[The rest of the information is still being identified. Please wait until tomorrow..]>

"Liability..." I stared at the skill named 'Liability.'

I slumped...

"What the hell is the Liability skill..."

My face was fully confused..

I turned my gaze to Trajectory Eyes.

"Trajectory Eyes..? Is this some kind of seeing the direction or something..? It's not really mentioned in the game itself either, even that Liability skill.."

I sighed...

"It's not really useful either..."

He followed the students to where they were going.

At the front of the assembly.

Eventually all the students had gathered on the enchanted stone floor. The air felt cold, and the students hummed in excitement and nervousness. The sky was clear. All the professors were standing on the floating platform. The students turned to the sound of a thump. An old man.. his beard reached to his neck, wearing a silk white robe, and his right hand holding a staff.

"Welcome everyone. As you are here now, you've been accepted as the successors of our saviors and humanity's hope.."

He lifted his staff to the sky..

"The monsters and dungeons are increasing over the past 90 years..."

....

Eventually he concluded his opening address. His voice echoed through the hall.

"…and so, you stand at the threshold of your future. May your time here forge you into the pillars of Caelvane..."

As the formal ceremony ended, the crowd began to disperse into a mingling throng. And there, cutting through the sea of students with an effortless, confident stride, was Verdric.

"I guess he's too popular. I can't believe how famous these main characters are.. too bad the game got darker when it reached episode 11.."

I scratched my head..

Still, his blood is royalty.

What is bloodline?

The bloodline comes from their descendants' ability. Or just from their blood of royalty. It can pass through generations and generations.

But in the end there are only 20 remaining Bloodline abilities. (That includes the characters of Archlight Academy.) It's pretty much rare.

Others came from descendants or just by getting it.

"Just by thinking about it, it's really complicated.."

I sat on a nearby bench near the tree.

"But right now the problem is how am I gonna use magic..? Wait no, the main problem is what's with my ability.. do I even have magic in the first place?."

I sighed, staring at the blue sky..

Magic is part of human life, or when it's used in daily activities like cooking using fire basic spells, or laundry just by using water magic.

But there are 5 types of attributes when using magic.

By being born with one, for example the fire attribute. Only one attribute you can use per person, or so that's what you think.

This game is different from that type of fantasy game..

Instead of one, you can use 2, or even 3.. but it's rare to have it.. or you can get awakened.

"Even though I've played through the game, I haven't really known it all about the attributes.. I only cared about the story and the characters—"

"Hey you, why are you here? You should be in class!" The girl shouted at me. I quickly snapped back to my senses and grabbed my bag..

Shit, it's a professor... just by looking at her uniform..

Eventually I found myself walking in the hallway... The floor was smooth.. and some classes were now starting their early lessons..

"So I am.. in 6-H class.."

Eventually I found the class sign (6-H). I reached the handle of the door...

"Here I go..." I said it nervously..

With a sound of clack..

Before I fully opened the door—

A book flew towards my face..

—WHACK!

"..."
