"Preparation meeting for the competition. All are asked to gather in front of the Association Building."

Adoneous cracked his stuff bones and decided to go there early. Having already familiarised himself with the campus, he knew the way well. He slowly made his way there, ignoring all the random comments about his handsome appearence. Belord was once again waiting for them. Soon the other newcomers joined them a he started to lecture them about the different functionalities of the competition. Overall what Adoneous gathered was that his cube would be updated every day as to his next fight. The theory exam was scheduled two weeks away.

" Well, seems like my luck's run out."

Combat was something Adoneous could handle, but theory. In a foreign world, the basics of which he knew nothing of was complex and vexing. Soon he retired back to his dorm, and while on the bed, he started to think asto what he could do. The library was probably a good place to start. Suddenly Adoneous shuddered at a sudden thought. In a certain ancient manual he had encountered, there was a technique to form a mind library. It's expanse was based on one's mental facilities, but that would be no problem in this world where improvement of one's mind was essential.

Thus decided on his new goal he started to practice ethe technique. Splitting pain assaulted his mind as it attempted to reorganize itself structurally. His consciousness felt like was being torn apart and rejoined. Over three hours passed until his lips were bleeding from how hard he bit it and his eyes were shedding blood tears. As he felt the last piece of his mindscape click in place, he collapsed on the ground.
