Chapter 237 Virtual Reality Competition

Amaya Stormswill, a girl who awakened her innate ability at the age of 7, before she even went through her awakening. Her innate ability was called "Pure Insight". A simple name for something so broken.

Pure insight allows Amaya to see through every illusion, facade and act. Along with her photographic memory which makes her skill of insight even more dangerous.

Every detail, every word, every fleeting glance or conversation, expression, or emotions, everything was etched into her mind with indelible clarity. She could recall even the most fleeting glimpses, as if they were paintings hanging on the walls of her memory, ready to be analyzed and revisited at any time.

If that wasn't enough she has the backing of Goddess Saraswati from hindu pantheon and the Titaness Mnemosyne from Greek pantheon. Both goddesses are associated with wisdom and memory. Giving their supportive blessings and guidance to Amaya.

Though she still doesn't know how to control her powers yet, or even fully understand how much more they can grow - but the fact that she has the potential to be one of the sharpest minds of human history is acknowledged by everyone.

In the novel, the author introduced her with great fanfare and gave the first impressions of her skills during the first main event which happens at the freshers party. She was set up to be the best helper for Leon but since the author made her too smart too soon, Amaya's character became too hard to write even for him. Because if Amaya was in an event then she had the potential to outshine many other important characters, that's why the author started to sidelining her, and when that didn't work, he killed her off.

Obviously since not just anyone can handle Amaya, so he chose Amelia as the one who killed her. It acted as a nice twist to the happy go to story, and it fastened the process of making the whole world hate the Blake's.

'Church of Apollo huh, did someone really do a prophecy of her death, or is she just shooting blinds hoping to see through me.'

Rio thought, as he couldn't guess what's up with her mind. She had a habit of saying and doing whatever it took to gain a deeper understanding of the people and world around her. To learn about everything and everyone. And if she can't learn anything now, then who cares, her future self could always see her memories as clear as day again and that'll make things easy for her.

"What are you thinking?" Rebecca asked as she walked towards him slowly, making sure professors didn't notice her. A princess can't break any rules and lead by an example right, that's her belief.

"Nothing" Rio said and shook his head. He smiled as he thought what she'd do if he pointed her out and attracted the attention of some professor.

As if guessing his thoughts, Rebecca glared at him with a warning look. Her big blue eyes getting that serious look was funny. But seeing that, Rio still raised his hand in surrender and let her be.

But not trusting this lazy panda, Rebecca just stood where she was and didn't move. This guy might really start clapping if she went there.

"Attention everyone, since all the classes are here, I'll announce that today would be a special class to see your standards. Today you'll all enter your first virtual world, and go through a competition. Since this is the first time, we've made it easy for you - a simple game of defense." An assistant professor came forward and started making the announcement.

"You'll all be divided into various teams and sent inside. Since the tournament between classes might not be fair due to random distribution of rankings, you'll have to first face off against your own classmates. The winners will then keep moving forward until only one team is chosen from all the classes."

"Then all those five teams would face off with each other. It's all nice and easy right." The professor said after explaining all the rules. "Now with that aside, let me tell you about the game itself. In this game the teams would both be teleported to a castle at the beginning, all you have to do is protect that castle and destroy the one your opposing team has."

Professor said as a projection of castles on the opposite side became visible in the air. Blue and red dots were showing the positions of students occupying that castle.

"Every castle has a magic core at the center, which is powering up everything. Destroying that core would destroy the castle, and thus get you a win."

"You all understood everything, right?" The professor said, as he finished showing off the location of the core, and visuals of destroying it on his projector, ending victory with a blast of fireworks.

"Yes sir."

When everyone agreed, another professor came forward and started saying "Your performance for this test will be recorded, and it may affect your rankings after the semester exams. So be sure to give it your all. Since you can't die in these exams, show us what you got with all your might."

"Mana, what about mana professor? Some of the rankers are higher awakeners than others." A student at the front seat raised his hand and asked.

"If it was a real test or exam, there would've been no changes. They're high rankers cause they tried and trained harder. So what's the point of insulting their hard work by sealing their mana to make it easy for you lazy bums." The professor said with a not so friendly smile and continued "But since you're all just starting here now, the weaklings can rest assured that everyone's mana would be sealed equally to a certain amount for every exam. That applies to everyone so be sure to use whatever mana you get clearly."

The professor said, with this rule everyone's mana would be at the same level. So everyone had a chance to show off their skills and abilities.

"Once you're defeated, dead, or wounded to a level, which is considered life threatening injury in the real world - you'll be kicked out of the test. So be sure to play it safe."

"What about healing magic? If we have a healer who can heal those injuries, does that count?" Another student raised his hand and asked.

"What part of you're free to use all the spells and skills did you not understand? If even the first year student healers can save you, then is it considered a life threatening injury in real life?" The professor said while glaring at the student.

"What about pain, since it's not real, would we feel anything, or is it just counting health points like video games?" A girl raised her hand and asked..

Hearing another stupid question, the professor furrowed his brow and thought 'Why are all these idiots sitting in the front? So annoying.' This professor was Harkin Inkspire. The homeroom teacher of class A-1.

"It is just virtual in name, you will feel pain, so just surrender and give up, if you're afraid of getting a beatdown." Professor Harkin said.

"Does only destroying the castle count as a win or is there a point system for defeating other students too?" Another student asked.

"Finally someone who's asking the right question. Good." Harkin praised him as he looked at the previous students like looking at some idiots.

"There'll be no points for defeating other students." He then continued, his words dulling the excitement of many students, who were just planning to kill off every weak opposing team member and get points to win.

"But that's only till you're fighting against your classmates. When teams of top talents are chosen from each class, then you will start getting points for defeating other students. No points for killing off weaklings."

"One more thing, there's a time limit for each match, and if you can't defeat the other team, both teams will be declared losers. So don't just try to be a turtle hiding in your shell." The professor said and finished explaining all the rules he remembered.

He'll just tell them other things later if he remembered it, or better, let them find out on their own to build up the suspense.

'System, what're the chances of Leon winning this?' Rio asked.

[100 percent host.]

'....'

[Normally it would be 100 percent, now you can change it, host.]

[But know that, this event is with all the other important characters too, so even if you win this, Leon would still manage to meet and leave an impression on many important characters.]

'What if I just beat the crap out of him and knock him out the moment he enters inside. He'd be kicked out, with no chance to show off to any professor, heroine or beat any other villain.' Rio thought, and liked the idea of what Apollo would do or say after he gave a beating to his avatar.

[...]

'Well, let's do just that.' Rio thought and stood up. 'After all, because of him I had to leave that body of those goons from Warzy behind, and now Sentinels are aware that someone's coming after me. If those Sentinels start getting serious, how would Virgil deliver him his experience packages from time to time.'
