Villain With The Strongest System

( The university cafeteria )

From the moment Rocky entered the university cafeteria all eyes were immediately drawn to him.

The crowd's eyes were trained on him not only because of his improved physique and stature, but his overall aura.

He did everything too calmly. Whether it was moving, whether it was talking. There was not one wasted movement about him, not one frantic gesture.

He was completely in command of himself and the energy around him and this captivated the attention of all those around him.

In this university where everyone was anxious, where everyone was self conscious, Rocky somehow seemed aloof, as if he was above these basic things.

"So what did I miss?" Rocky asked his friends as he began slowly biting into the delicious food in front of him.

'Mmhmm ....Food…. This tastes great', Rocky thought internally as he enjoyed the sensation of having his belly filled with warm food again as he relished every bite that he took.

"Oh boy, where even to start-" Erin said excitedly as he began narrating all the important events that took place at the university during Rocky's absence.

Erin started by giving Rocky a rough recap of every class and what had been covered so far.

In the monster weakness class, they had learnt weaknesses of monsters that could show up uptil floor 30 and were now starting to learn about the weaknesses of more complex monster types such as poisoned archaic spiders and undead bone dragons.

In the battle strategy and leadership class they had learnt about many historical battles and many group battle strategies.

They had learnt some popular defensive strategies for groups of 3…4…5 uptil 10 and had even learnt about mass strategies and war.

Recently they had started to explore the use of traps, curses and inscriptions in making strategies and the lectures had gotten very interesting.

In the power dynamics and history of the tower class, they had learnt about all the various prominent factions present in the tower and what floors were controlled by what factions.

The most important point was how certain treasures and resources could only be found on certain floors of the tower and hence were monopolised resources that were not available on the open market.

This was the reason behind some alchemical potions having sky high prices and why controlling floors and resources was important for every faction.

In the survival class, principal Liam had taught them many things about what sorts of fruits to eat in the wild, what sorts of monsters to avoid, how to apply first aid and more.

According to Erin his classes were the best planned amongst all other professors and was the lecture that he did not dare miss even once.

Finally, Sophia revealed to Rocky the progress of the practical combat class and the swordsmanship class, as once Rocky soaked in all the information, he felt that he was still a little ahead of the masses in these two courses, while he had a lot of catching up to do for the rest.

"Most importantly Sir Rocky, everyone has climbed uptil floor 9 and after the mid-term survival test starting tomorrow, everyone will try their first major floor run" Erin revealed, as Rocky's eyes widened in surprise at this piece of news.

"Everyone's already climbed uptil floor 9? Also what mid term survival test?" Rocky asked in surprise, as Erin began to explain what it was.

From tomorrow for uptil a week, all students were going to be taken to an unknown place on floor zero and would be forced to survive in the wild for 7 days.

There were points for survival, finding water, finding food, finding shelter as well as killing monsters.

This was going to be a major component of the annual evaluation and everyone had to mandatorily participate.

"Although we are not sure if you are going to be forced to participate as well or not, we were planning to pack a survival bag for you, just in case you came" Erin said, as Rocky rubbed his chin and nodded.

"Yeah, I don't think I'm going to receive any more special treatment from Principal Liam, I'm definitely going to have to participate as well" Rocky said as he composedly accepted his fate of being thrust into a survival situation a few hours after his return to civilization.

"What is the expected difficulty level? And what are the rewards for getting first prize?" Rocky asked curiously and Sophia was the one to answer.

"The expected difficulty level is not much, they definitely don't want students to die, also the reward for getting first prize is getting a weapon of your choice being forged by a master craftsman or interning with one for a week depending on your choice" Sophia said as Rocky nodded his head and smiled amiably towards her.

"Although the expected difficulty is not much, you must prepare well….Sophia.

You never know who would target you, so, I hope you prepare life saving treasures in advance.

Also I think you should stick close to myself, Erin and Buhara….. that way you can be assured that we have your back" Rocky said as Sophia blushed slightly at his charming smile and display of concern.

'He's worried about me…' she thought, feeling her heart flutter slightly as some of her anger towards Rocky subsided.

"That doesn't seem like a bad idea…" she said, as in the first place she too wanted to stick close to Rocky herself. experience-NovelFire-content

"Alright then, it's settled, we prepare for the mid-term assessment and we try to stick together during it" Rocky said as all three of his friends nodded their heads in agreement.

"Although it's an individual evaluation, I don't think sticking together will be too bad either, we can always share the kills" Erin added as a consensus seemed to have been reached.
