Mini-Tour!

Going to the receptionists, David and Bennett had given their cards to confirmed their rooms.
"Alright, they've been verified. You may enter your room after swiping your card or use your mana to open the door." the receptionist at the front said.
"Thank you." David smiled.
Seeing that there was quite the line behind them, they quickly went to their dorm rooms.
"Come on, everyone's waiting for their turn." David dragged Bennett.
"Don-ok..." Bennett tried retorting but immediately kept quiet under David's glare.
They found out pretty quickly that the dorm they were in was actually slightly better than others, mostly because of their recommended status, just like the different school buildings there were when they first came in.
Going through the hallway, they found their room number, 110 after a couple minutes of walking.
'Seems like the rooms are big if we've only been through ten rooms.' David thought, opening the door using his mana.
"Woah! It's been so long since I've been in a dorm!" Bennett looked around the rooms with nostalgia clear in his eyes.
"Yeah, you're right. Jesus, they made this just as good as some noble's private rooms as well." David looked around the small dorm, which was basically like a condo.
The kitchen and dining room were more of a sleek marble design, sinks, stoves, oven, cooking equipment, and fridges were all there. The living room was small, just being a small table and a few bookshelves and chairs for comfort. The bedroom had pairs of everything, beds, tables, chairs, a window, a carpet, and a few shelves, it even had two bathrooms for both roommates, quite luxurious even compared to some lower-mid class nobles.
"Small and cozy, I would live in this." David gave his first impression almost immediately after looking at all the rooms.
"I agree. Mn, mn!" Bennett nodded.
They found another card on the dining table and picked it up. The card design was black with gold stripes around the card, like one of those black VVIP cards you would find in the circle of elites.
"Interesting, but why would they put this here?" David observed the card that seemed to radiate a faint aura.
Before Bennett could give his reply, a faint light appeared in front of them, turning into a blue screen in front of them.

"Oh? Really interesting... seems like our currency is credits here then." David commented at the screen in front of him, indifferent as he has seen the same type of screen on his system.
Bennett had also grabbed his card, with everything being the same except for the name.
"Welp, let's go get some lunch. Might as well see how expensive everything is and cry about it like everyone does in anime or something like that." David left the dorm with his cards in his pocket.
"Alright! Lunch time!" Bennett jumped in joy and followed David to get some munchies on.
Going to the restaurant area, there were quite a number of students walking around eating different types of food, it made quite a sight.
"Ohhh! I want to try everything!" Bennett's eyes shined with gluttonous desires burning in his eyes.
"... Alright. Come back to reality, we only have 100 credits, we need to save them for resources later on." David coldly gripped the back of his collar, stopping him from running any further.
"A-ay..." with fake tears, he dramatically followed him.
Even though they did just go through a tour, the different styles of the western side of the campus were really diverse. Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Western type buildings, they got it all down pat!
They settled in a humble-looking Asian restaurant, as compared to the other restaurants, they had decent quality food for cheaper prices.
They were in a booth eating some spicy hotpot which was mostly filled with several types of lean and fat meat coupled with some vegetable sides.
"Mn! Delicious!" Bennett savored the beef tongue in his mouth.
"Don't talk while eating, you don't want to choke." David reminded.
"Fine... mother." Bennett enphasised.
*Twitch*
Noticing that one shadow over his face, Bennett panicked, "Uh... ignore what I said."
"Sure... your treat for this meal." David lifted his head to finish the food on his plate.
"Ehhh? Fine..." Bennett mumbled.
They had actually eaten quite a bit and had called a waiter over for the bill.
"Here is the bill sir, you can pay directly with points or coins, both prices are listed here." the waiter bowed and left to clean the other tables.
David picked up the bill only to see quite a few zeros in the two total sections, "Like I said, your treat, just pay it in coins. I know you've brought all of them with you."
Looking at the sum which had its totals in the bronze coins level, he pulled out 12 gold coins (120,000 bronze coins), but hesitated while looking at David with puppy eyes.
"Nope, you've even stated that you would pay for the first meal we have here. Also, look who had eaten the majority of everything we ordered." David drank the leftover water in his hand, looking at Bennett who was taking his pouch out with half-lidded eyes of ridicule.
After the painful experience of paying a portion of his allowance, Bennett and David left to go explore the eastern side of the campus, which was the only part that wasn't thoroughly explained, and was even told to explore it themselves.
"What'd you think they'll have there? Virtual training arrays like the ones at home? Or maybe some-" Bennett was spouting words out of his mouth like a river until David covered it.
"We're already there, it'll be better to just blow your mind when we see for ourselves." David explained.
Like the two, there were many students who also came here to explore as this was the only part of the campus that wasn't part of the 'tour'.
'Nothing better to do right now. Maybe I'll even get some info on some exploits... the system does allow me to gain some type of experience, different from mother and father's place.' David smiled to himself.
