11 C11 Do Janitorial Work?

C11

"We will be checking the Mission Hall," Willem said.

That was exactly Allen's plan. He wanted to check the Mission Hall and use the time when he was on the mission to meet Plague Master. He wants to collect the divine energy that his divine mark has collected.

"Ok, when are we leaving?"

"We're, actually, just waiting for you," the other guy said.

Allen, Willem, and the other two went to the Mission Hall. They introduced themselves. Allen did not mind, but he still remembered their names.

The annoying guy on their first meeting was Jimmy Dean, while the other one was Durwin Young.

Allen changed their view toward Jimmy. He was not, actually, bad. Though he acts that way, he can't hurt a fly.

At the same time, Durwin is a smarta**. He is knowledgeable. Allen speculated that Durwin is from a wealthy family while Jimmy was raised but a bastard father who wants his son to be tough at all times.

Allen did not say much and just listened to them. And after walking for a while, they arrived at the Mission Hall.

The Mission Hall is where they could choose missions. They could do it in their watch, but since they were new to the camp, they thought that it would be best if they visited it.

At the same time, although they can choose a mission from their watch, they need to go to the Mission Hall to verify the completion of the mission to collect their rewards.

The verification is through the video that their watch scanned and other requirements stated on the mission.

Various missions are posted. Most of them are to hunt beasts in the outskirts of the city or in the wilderness near the camp. There are also janitorial jobs.

Most of the missions were posted by the camp, while some were posted by the other trainees.

After staying for a while in the Mission Hall, they left and went to the Credits Hall.

The Credits Hall is where everyone can spend their Military Credits. They can buy weapons, armors, and more.

The four looked inside and were amazed by the items that were sold. They saw weapons of different styles and kinds: swords, knives, daggers, guns, etc. There were also vehicles or equipment, such as hoverboards, jet packs, but what interested Allen was the storage tools that contained pocket dimensions.

In the past, he had plenty of those. He uses divine energy to make an artificial space. Then he uses the storage tools as a reward to his followers.

He was astounded when he saw the storage tools. He did not expect that the mortals that do not know divine energy could create a separate space.

Allen wanted to buy one and study how they were created, but he did not have enough Military Credit. Thus, he can only swallow his saliva and cut his curiosity.

It was not only Allen who was looking at the storage tools. The other students were also looking at them, including the three he was with. But just like Allen, they could only swallow their saliva and look away. The price of the storage tool is 100 Military Credits per square foot.

Allen has Military Credit of close to a hundred. If he had more, he could buy a one-foot storage tool. But he does not think that it is worth it.

Allen would rather use his Military Credits to buy weapons than the storage tools. But on the other hand, the storage tools would be handy during missions.

They finished touring the camp at lunch then, and then they went to the cafeteria for a meal.

Allen spent two credits for lunch while the other spent an insignificant amount. They stared at Allen with envy as he ate his sumptuous meal with 'pleasure.'

They all came earlier than him, so their credits are lesser than his.

Except for Willem, they were all oblivious that Allen had gained lots of Military Credits from the second year. Although Willem does not know how much, he knows that the number is not meager. Well, not meager for the newcomers like them.

Allen did not mind them and enjoyed his meal.

After lunch, Allen did not do anything and simply read the book that Captain Laura gave.

...

On the second day, all the freshies received a message that they needed to assemble at the arena via their watches.

The arena is where the tournaments are held. It is as wide as a baseball field and was equipped with surveillance systems along with a powerful sound system.

The arena was not an open field; it was in an enclosed building.

Allen and the other three headed to the arena right after breakfast.

When they arrived, the arena was already filled with trainees. Then, after waiting for a while, the assembly commenced. It was hosted by Captain Laura. She started it with a greeting. Then she explained the purpose of the assembly.

"Good morning, trainees. This is the official second day of camp 03-355. Some of you arrived earlier and have tasted the hardships in the camp. Everything in the camp works with Military Credits. The only free things are the lodging, the water, the electricity, and the uniform. The food is excluded."

The things that Captain Laura said were already known to everyone. Some even nodded their head because they could relate to the hardships that Captain Laura mentioned.

They had done janitorial work to make a living in the camp because if they don't, they will starve.

"Speaking of which, how is your breakfast? Did you eat a sumptuous meal?" Captain Laura teased everyone.

She knew that plenty did not have a sumptuous meal because they were saving their Military Credits. They did not know when they could gain the strength to do missions aside from the janitorial jobs.

"As a bonus for you, the camp will be giving you another free 10 Military Credits. This can, at most, let you live for another three days. And, if you are thrifty enough, maybe this can last for a month or the whole term." Captain Laura smiled as she teased those thinking of saving the Military Credits.

"Tomorrow, you will be taking the meditation class. By then, you can start getting stronger. On Thursday, you will learn about the beasts in the academic class, and on Friday, you will learn about combat. Then, you will be back on meditation on Saturday. And, when the Sunday comes, we expect that most of you will set out of the camp to do missions and earn Military Credits."

"Also, I hate to break this to you, but the missions posted on the mission hall are the lowest of all missions. The missions on the mission hall are all for the newbies, while the missions for the second years can only be found on their watches."

"If you think those missions posted in the mission hall are hard, then shame on you, weaklings. You better stay in the camp and be the janitor of your batch." Captain Laura triggered the contempt of the trainees toward the janitorial works.

"On the other hand, it is not good that none of you will do the janitorial work. Your dormitories would be so dirty. Thus, please give applause to whoever volunteers to be the janitors of your batch."

"Now, let's go to the awaited part of the assembly. Everyone, help me welcome the principal of camp 03-355, Colonel Lucas Doornbos," Captain Laura said with a filled-out voice and began clapping her hands enthusiastically.
