Entry

"Okay, Michael. You can do this. No, what the heck am I thinking? I can't do this," Michael thought as he gripped the wooden sword tightly.

<New Quest: Defeat the Enemy>

<Count: (0 1)>

<Reward: 20 Exp>

<Lv 1. Martial Art Skill Deployed (Defense)>

"The system gave me a martial art skill? I hope it works," Michael muttered.

The bot dashed toward him, aiming for his leg. Michael leaped into the air and landed behind it.

"Nice job!" Blake cheered him on. Michael smiled and waved back. Tom watched in amazement, thinking, "I knew he had something, he isn't as weak as i thought."

The bot targeted Michael again. He dodged the attack and managed to slash it. "Finally!" he exclaimed, immediately following up with another strike that brought the bot to a halt. Blake clapped for him, and all the students turned their attention to Blake, he was the only one cheering Micheal.

<Quest completed>

<20 exp rewarded>

<Exp: 30 100>

"So this system is just like a game. If i could get up to 100 Exp, i will level up."  Micheal thought.

He quickly moved to stand beside Cole as Blake was called forward. Blake walked confidently, and as the test began, he instantly stopped the bot. The students' jaws dropped in disbelief. They couldn't believe how he did it.

Lisa was next, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Tom, can I use my shapeshifting weapon trinket instead?" she asked.

Tom nodded, granting her permission. In an instant, the trinket transformed into a long, gleaming hammer. With a powerful swing, Lisa slammed the hammer down onto the bot's head, sending it crashing to the ground.

Blake, Cole, and Michael stood in shock, their expressions wide with disbelief. Lisa then joined the three with a triumphant smile on her face.

Next up was Kaylee. She stepped forward, her expression was fierce. Kaylee used her ice ability and froze the bot's leg. Then, with a devastating punch, she struck the bot's face, creating a gaping hole as shards of metal flew everywhere.

The other students trembled at the display of power, and Michael, Blake, and Cole covered their mouths in astonishment.

"The five of you will be taken into the academy, and you are now a team. Each student is required to be in a team. the leader of your team will be Kaylee. I hope you all get along. See ya!" Tom announced with a grin.

Before they could react, a blinding light enveloped them, and in an instant, they were teleported into a massive dome. The dome looked like a large, smooth bubble made of iron lines and glass. It had a slight glow, especially at night. There were screens and buttons that let people interact with their surroundings. Outside the dome couldn't be seen. It was blured.

The area it covered was vast, wide enough to contain about 10 mega buildings, ten million square feet.

Before them, about four buildings were at the front, behind the buildings were another four buildings.

The academy buildings was about twenty story buildings tall and hostel complex consisted of two sleek, eight storey buildings, which had a shimmering glass facade with integrated solar panels and vertical gardens. The design incorporates aerodynamic lines and large LED displays.

The hostel was divided into three floors for boys and three for girls, it shared a central communal area. Both sections had a large windows and balconies, with the boys' side showcasing a plain look and the girls' side featuring softer, organic designs with colorful murals.

They shared amenities at the base include lounges, study areas, and recreational spaces, all equipped with smart technology for enhanced comfort and security. Each building belonged to each year. That was why four academy and four hostel buildings were built.

"Why is it so tall? I will never reach the top" Blake thought. Suddenly, a bot appeared in front of them.

The bot had a sleek design with a metallic finish and articulated limbs. It had a digital interface for expressive communication, integrated sensors for 360-degree perception, and advanced AI for adaptability. With retractable wheels or legs. It was about 3'3" tall.

"Hello, New students. I will be your tourist guides around the school. Follow me." The five of them exchanged glances before following the bot

The bot led them to inside the academy while explaining and showing them some various departments in the school building. A holographic interface was floating above it, it displayed the school map.

The interior of the academy had a spacious atrium with high ceilings and rooftop light. The classrooms had flexible furnitures, smart boards, and large windows. The lounges were outside the academy, it had a cozy seating and quiet zones. The first three floors were dedicated to the classroom, four were for the training and sparring grounds, while one was the general hall, two belonged to the library, the remaining were out of order. The teachers and other school executives occupied them.

After taking them around the first year academy building. The bot led them to the first year hostel. The bot gave each of them a small rectangular screen.

"The screen serves as a key to your room, tracker, communication and the academy announcements. If you want to message each other as a team. Do it through the screen. The first four floors is the male hostel and the remaining four belongs to the female." The bot explained then it vanished.

Micheal checked his room number and asked Blake. The both of them had the same room number including Cole. Blake and Michael introduced themselves to Cole and the three of them left Kaylee and Lisa, heading to their room.

"Room 3. Second floor" Micheal shouted while entering the elevator.  Lisa and Kaylee were also in the same room, "Room 7. Seventh floor" Lisa said, stretching her hands forward for a handshake with Kaylee, who immediately accepted the handshake without hesitation.

Blake was about to board the elevator when he saw the both of them shaking hands, his eyes widened in shock. "Bu..t she didn't..Accept mine" Blake stammered. Michael immediately dragged him inside the elevator.
