Chapter 13 - Vis Arena(1) (2/2)

”A little bit of skinship is okay for now, we will see more anyways.”

”Ah, I almost forgot hon, the VA is opening soon. Do you wanna try it out?” Michelle said as she stepped forward, placing her hand on my cheek.

This is definitely what I think it is. And now I remember what I did. Not even a week in, and I am in this situation. What the hell has Simon been up to behind the scenes?

”Vis Arena? Yeah sure. I gotta make an account first.”

I pulled out my phone as I received a notification for the companion app's auto installation.

S.e.x: Male

Hair: Pink

Build: slim-muscular

Eyes: red

Face: custom

Skin tone: light

Done. This is way too easy. It's like creating an MMORPG character.

”Yep, Mick, I am done. Let's go!” I cheerfully announced.

”What is your username?” She asked.

”That's a secret!”

”You don't have have anymore secrets now.”

”What?”

”Nothing.”

We left the dorm and headed for the VA. The VA can be described as a huge warehouse full of pods that act as virtual reality full immersion packages. The pods measure your VQ and all the relevant data such as you rank and vis power. It is also extremely accurate in portraying you, letting the user have as much control over his virtual body.

Today's the opening day, so many Haven students are here, all ready to enter the newly made school ranking system. James will obviously do well even without his physique, because of his experience, so I don't need to worry about him. I just need to worry about myself for now.

I got a nice aura from one of the paintings yesterday, so I will definitely use that. I will also showcase my physique and full strength. I want to climb the rankings and be on top! Using the persona of 'PP-81G' I can do whatever I want! Fun thing to note, all accounts are protected by hundreds of layers of security, so I don't need to worry about being found out.

Last time around, in my novel, James got 3rd place, Mark just clinched for 2nd, and Sienna managed to get 1st. Of course this was for the 1st years, they weren't so OP that they could defeat second years and above easily. Entering the overall competition is just an option, an option that I am going to take today. But this time I have a feeling that a lot more things will be different...

”Simz, you better get in the top 10!”

”Haha... you must be joking...” I responded.

”PP-81G ENTERING YEAR 1 TOURNAMENT”

I opened my eyes to find myself in a humongous circular sky arena with at least 100 other students. There were no barriers around, so I could probably just go around and push people off. But then again, it looks like this is a Battle Royale, so getting ganged up on doesn't seem out of the question.

I have 10 daggers on me, so I am definitely ready. I set my clothes to a pink butler's outfit with a pair of red tinted glasses. The perfect and most eccentric costume!

'LAST BUT NOT LEAST!' I turned on the music function in the pod when I got in, and I know for a fact that I can blast it for everyone else to hear...

There's still about 2 minutes until the battle royale begins. Better now than never!

”Play 'Indian Power Rangers'.”

And a sudden realisation hit me, 'why does my hip ache a bit?'
