"Apparently the meal was great," said Scarlex.
"Indeed," replied Ayden with a hand on his belly and a smile on his face.
"i'm going to the library, see you around," she said while getting up from the table.
"See you later," he said as he made a farewell motion with his hand.
Now that he's finished the lobster and is alone again, Ayden doesn't quite know what to do to pass the time. There is only one class a day throughout the morning, and at the moment, it is still very early in the afternoon, so he is facing a dilemma.
After thinking about it for a few moments, Ayden decides and gets up from the table. He will spend the rest of the day at the training center!
After leaving the cafeteria, Ayden starts walking towards his destination. And as he goes, it is possible to watch a group of three students talking to each other.
"Look at him, acting like he's the owner of the world, completely unconcerned ... it fills me with anger," said a student in a uniform with silver details.
"What do you think about teaching him a lesson? After all, they say he got the golden classification with luck, what do you think, Asher?" said the other student.
Asher, he is the young master of the enlightened family known worldwide due to theirs incredible scalding power of flames.
He is dressed in a custom black uniform with golden details different from the others with the standard dark blue coloring. All students who have obtained a gold rating can request a personalized uniform, which is exactly what Asher did.
"Just like you two, I can't wait to beat him up ..." he started to say with a neutral expression.
Asher has an interest in Scarlex, and seeing someone with no background so close to someone at her level irritates him intensely.
"...but we should wait at least until after the combat class that we will have tomorrow, so we will see if he really is lucky or at least some kind of decent skill", he concluded.
He doesn't need to act recklessly without knowing the extent of Ayden's skill. Asher also doesn't want to cause a fuss right on the first day, as that would mess up his image a little. He is in no hurry. After all, Anxiety is love's greatest killer.

After walking for about five minutes, Ayden finds himself facing the entrance to the training center.
Without further ado, he enters the place, and right away, he can see all the different machines used to perform various types of tests, but this is not where Ayden will stay.
During his walk, Ayden decided to look at the information about the training center on his wristwatch. Which issued a lot of information in a hologram format.
He found that as much as the site has only one floor, most of the building is underground, containing five floors with a breathtaking gym with several different types of equipment. Not to mention the countless other floors containing rooms that students can reserve for more privacy during training.
Ayden decided that he will reserve one of the rooms to have more privacy as he intends to explore the system, so he quickly enters one of the elevators present in the building and selects the number six.
"Would you like to use this room? If you're interested, please, press your wristwatch", said an artificial intelligence voice.
Ayden did as requested, and the door opened.
"Now this room is placed in the student's [Ayden] name. If it is of interest, it is possible to request additional equipment for the room through [Military Credits]."
After finishing hearing the message, Ayden enters his newest training room, causing the door behind him to close.
He is faced with a spacious area of twenty-five square meters, surrounded by white walls that contain small blue, glowing lines.
'Exactly what was in the information. So I just need to do one thing ... 'thought Ayden as he watched empty space around him.
"Simulate a sunny open field," he said in a clear voice.
Suddenly, all the walls in the room start to change, and a sunny open environment in augmented reality is created precisely as Ayden commanded.
"Wow! This room is really super technological, how can I feel the grass and even the wind?!"
'whatever, let me recap the things that the system has offered me so far,' he thought, coming out of his dazzle.
'Status, Skills, quests,' he said internally
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
Three tabs appear before Ayden's eyes, and he begins to look at them attentively.
'Apart from explaining how the system works, these are the only functions mentioned during the transfer of information ...' pondered.

'what would that information next to my name be? A title like that of RPG games, maybe?'
Ayden is adapting to the system that the artifact gave him quite quickly since he has played many games that have similar interfaces before.
'let me see... Titles.'

'A good discovery! But it won't change much since I still don't know how to get new titles' thought Ayden.
Ayden perceived that the system is strongly influenced by its actions and situations. So as he walks his way, the cards will gradually be revealed.
'Well, I'm probably going to find out more as I level up,' he thought as he shrugged.
Ayden is not concerned about the system since the tendency is for it to evolve together with the user, and as he is still very weak, it is reasonable for the system to not have many functions.
"Activate training dummy," he said.
'Let's see if my abiliity will respond the way I imagine it,' thought Ayden at the same time as a technological training dummy capable of withstanding various types of impacts and damage appears in his field of vision.
