'I really didn't expect this ...' Thought Ayden, completely forgetting that the class has already ended and that everyone is leaving the classroom.

'let me see, status.'

'It has indeed increased the value!' he exclaimed internally while letting out a small smile escape.

Seeing that even after all the students have already left the room and Ayden is staring at the air and smiling for no apparent reason, Scarlex decides to talk to him. At this point, the two are the only ones left in the classroom since she decided that she would accompany him for a while longer. Otherwise, she would have gone as well as the others.

"Ayden? Are you okay?" she said, releasing him from his dazzle.

"Yes, I'm fine. I was just looking at... Organizing the information that the teacher said during our first class," Ayden responded casually, almost revealing what he was actually doing. Luckily, he realized the mistake he was about to make and made a convincing excuse.

"I get it. It makes sense since the teacher passed on a lot of information," said Scarlex, believing in Ayden's placement.

In addition to the brief introduction to the history content, the teacher gave some vital information that involves the student's lives during their stay at the military school, such as using the training center or library for at least twelve hours a week. Otherwise, they will be punished accordingly.

"Right, since you finished, we should go to the cafeteria to eat something. I couldn't eat anything myself yesterday due to the tests, the announcement, and the fact that the cafeteria was not yet open."

In fact, the situation is the same with Ayden. As much as humans have reached a point where they can last longer without feeling hungry, maintaining a good energy reserve is always essential. And who doesn't like to taste a delicious dish of food?

"You're right ... And thanks for waiting for me ... let's go to the cafeteria. I'm actually starting to feel a little hungry."

After that, the two got up from their table and started walking towards the cafeteria. As the military base is well interconnected and organized, a short walk is all that is needed. It didn't take long for the two to arrive.

The place is incredibly spacious, modern, and open, with numerous tables and seats that materialize as soon as someone approaches to sit down. After the two choose a table and sit down, a hologram menu appears containing all the dishes and drinks.

"Wow! What an absurd amount of dishes!" said Ayden, with a surprised and gaping expression.

"Well, there really is a lot, but they are not all for free. As you may have noticed," said Scarlex.

The format of obtaining any type of good within the military school, regardless of its kind, whether it is a dish or equipment, is necessary to use its internal currency, called "Military Credits."

By default, students have ten military credits added daily to their accounts. Not to mention a conversion system between Military Credits and Federal Credits, which is the currency used worldwide.

In general, it is possible to buy 1 MC using 100 FC. The method of buying MC is considerably expensive, so only people with a wealthy family tend to use this system to assist their children during their military stay.

And it's an exchange with no return. It is impossible to convert points purchased during military school back to the world currency, thus discouraging the purchase and highlighting that students must work hard and show decent performance to get their own points. This was explained during the class and in the guide located on the super technological wristwatch.

"Yes, I realized. All this just for a plate of food ..." said Ayden with a wistful expression when realizing that the dishes that seem to be the most delicious can cost more than 50 credits! This is theft!

All his hopes of eating the lobster located near the top of the menu that he had seen as soon as it was opened went down the drain. And to make things worse, seafood is one of his favorite dishes!

"Haha! What a sad expression is that? All students are entitled to two free meals daily, so you don't have to worry. The simplest ones, of course." Said Scarlex after letting out a good laugh when she noticed the stray dog expression on Ayden's face.

The first part of Scarlex's speech revived Ayden's hopes, but the end slapped him in the face!

"But of course, as we are students with a golden rating, we can pick up any dish we want once a week and any dish with a 50% discount." She added.

"That's nice!" exclaimed Ayden.

"Well, let's select our dish! As this is our first day, why not start with something big to celebrate?" said Scarlex with a smile on his face.

After that, the two decided to use their free order on the first day to pick up the dishes that they thought were the tastiest! Obviously, Ayden picked up the lobster. Scarlex, on the other hand, took a well-balanced dish with different types of meat and vegetables.

Within minutes, drones arrived delivering both dishes.

As soon as the lobster was placed in front of Ayden, the incredible smell of spiced lobster meat awakened Ayden's salivary glands, causing him to drool.

No longer able to contain his desire, He carefully pulls a juicy piece of meat from the lobster's abdomen and puts it in his mouth, causing a divine taste to invade his taste buds, almost making him cry with joy. He never has eaten anything so tasty!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the table, Scarlex watches Ayden enjoying his meal as if he has spent his entire life up to that point eating only dog ​​food. She can't contain her emotions and ends up laughing a lot.

Ayden doesn't even notice Scarlex's reaction. His mind is entirely focused on enjoying the dish in front of him to the fullest.

'What a funny guy!' she thought after wiping tears from her laughter and went back to eating her plate elegantly.

As Ayden finishes tasting and feeling all the nuances of the lobster meat, a message suddenly appears in his field of vision.

Ding~

+10 Senses.

At the same time that the message appears, Ayden begins to feel that he is being watched from several different sides. As he looks around, he realizes that other students are looking at him with an expression of hatred.

'Did I do something wrong?' He thought with an expression of doubt as he swallowed the last piece of lobster as if it were an Italian pasta.

Little does he know that he, who in the view of the others, on the first day of military school is already getting along and eating next to one of the most beautiful and desired girls among the students.
