Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

"Quiet."

The moment this word echoed in the classroom, the classroom fell silent.

Her stern expression softened, and she scanned the classroom, taking in every detail with her sharp eyes. Her majesty was awe-inspiring.

"Professor Eleanor White," I thought, looking at the woman.

"Good morning, class," she said, hushing everyone. "I'll start the roll call, and then we'll discuss the proper use and handling of weapons in combat."

Professor White has short yellow hair that sets off her face, giving her a sense of distinction. Her eyes are deep blue, and seem to be able to penetrate anyone.

In fact, she is also a highly active hunter and goes on missions from time to time.

"Eleanor White, global hunter ranking 210." I immediately remembered her ranking at the beginning of the game.

She is also the first female hunter to reach a triple-digit ranking at the age of 21.

'The Controller' is her name. She is one of the most talented people in the world. She has achieved a state of mastery in the use and manipulation of magic power, hence the nickname 'The Controller'.

She was indeed dressed like a mentor, exuding a sense of authority and experience. She wore a neatly pressed white shirt with the emblem of the Hunter Academy embroidered on the chest, symbolizing that she was a respected teacher. Over the shirt, she wore a dark blue suit jacket, adding a sense of formality to her appearance.

Her pants were made of a special material that allowed for easy movement, which was essential during the actual operation of weapons training, and she wore a pair of simple yet durable black boots to complete her professional attire.

Her blond hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, giving her a serious look that matched her stern demeanor, and her piercing deep blue eyes seemed to catch nothing, as if she could detect even the slightest hint of laziness in her students.

As I was analyzing her like this, she started naming names.

"Student ranking 2450, Morse Scott."

As expected, he started with me. That was to be expected, because that's how things always go.

The moment my name spread in the classroom, everyone's eyes turned to me instantly, and some people had sarcastic smiles on their faces.

"Here." I answered calmly, not paying attention to anyone.

"Student ranking 2449, Ethan Hartley."

"arrive"

Because he awakened later than his peers, Ethan's starting level was not high, so he was ranked at the bottom like Morse. But this made Morse fall into despair and inferiority... Seeing people like him making continuous progress, while he was standing still.

"Student rankings..."

......

......

As she called higher and higher in the rankings, finally, the first main character appeared.

"Student ranking 75 Solaris."

She was looking at the teacher with her hand raised and a big smile on her face. Because she was a therapist, her practical score was not high. Therefore, the principal arranged a special position for her and graded her only based on her theoretical score.

"arrive"

"Student ranking 567, Ash"

He is Victor's first lackey, sitting in the back row, burly, using fists as weapons. He was found by Victor in the slums, then recruited by Victor, and even when he was a child, he had extraordinary fighting ability. At that time, he defeated 5 adults as an 8-year-old child.

"arrive!"

His huge voice echoed in the classroom, like the roar of a wild beast.

“Tsk,” I couldn’t help but curl my lips because my senses were much more sensitive and his loud voice annoyed me a little.

"Student Ranking 45 Storm"

"arrive."

This time it is Victor's second lackey, he is the son of a subordinate family of the Black family. His face is full of scars, and the weapon he uses in the game is a double axe.

......

......

"Student Rankings Darian"

The one who made it to the top 100 was Carl, a man of great stature and a noble aura.

"arrive."

"Student Level 75 Lucas Middleton"

Then there's Lucas, the protagonist's 'best' friend.

"Here, teacher."

Although these two are the main characters, there is a reason why they are ranked low, because they were late for the entrance examination and entered the examination room, which led to their low ranking.

"Student Ranking 43, Julia Middleton".

Julia has strong personal abilities, but she is a bit dumb, her theoretical test scores are not high, and she ranks lower than others.

"arrive"

"Student ranking 5, Alice Thornfield."

Alice has very high theoretical and practical scores. She ranks fifth in the academy and is the only archer to be among the top 50.

"arrive"

"Student Ranking 3, Irina Phoenix"

Although Irina has a hot temper, she is actually quite smart in theory, as a mage needs to be able to make good calculations quickly.

"arrive."

"Student level, Victor Black."

Then, there's our cold prince... No need to explain, because this guy is basically the protagonist's first rival, so he's strong...

"arrive".

Just like that, while the students were busy doing their own things, the attendance check was over.

However, there was one thing that caught my attention immediately that most students didn't notice.

"Their names aren't here."

Those were the three students who left this world Saturday night, none of whom were on the list.

It seemed that Eleanor White didn't care about this, because she was not one to waste time caring about bullying other students.

"Well, let's start the class."

She then launched into a detailed discussion of the various weapons used by hunters, from swords and bows to staves and daggers. As she spoke, her passion for the subject was evident, as was her depth of knowledge.

Even though almost every student here knows how to use a weapon, that doesn't mean they know the advanced theory associated with it, and no one would turn down some pointers on weapons from a hunter ranked 210th in the world.

"The sword is..." She started by talking about the sword. However, as she spoke, I was also observing the main characters and Eleanor. After all, this was the first time I saw them from a person's eyes, unlike in the necklace.

"Mr. Morse, are you listening?"

Just as I was catching other people's expressions with my eyes, she probably felt my gaze scrutinizing her and turned her eyes to me.

"Yes, Professor White."

I looked up and answered. However, her narrowed eyes did not leave me, she was watching me, trying to see through me.

I had a bad relationship with most of the teachers because Morse always sat in the back and would not participate in the questions, which left a bad impression on her.

And this woman's way of thinking is almost all about pros and cons.

The more benefits you can bring to her, the more you will get.

So, what can students bring?

That is your future.

This means that if you have talent and promise, you will get noticed.

If you don't, then go to hell.

This is basically how the college actually works, not how the president says it works.

Professor White kept her eyes on me, her expression unchanged. I could sense that she was planning something, perhaps to test my concentration during class.

"Mr. Morse," she said with a faint smile, "since you seem so focused, let's see how you're listening. Can you tell me what the main advantage of using a compound bow is compared to a recurve bow?"

I almost laughed when I heard this. During the time I was in the necklace, I was probably the most attentive student in class, because I had no choice. And this was a new weapon I had just acquired.

"The main advantage of using a compound bow over a recurve bow is that the pulley system of a compound bow provides more power and greater accuracy." I randomly gave a textbook answer.

"You're right, but how does it work?" Eleanor White, however, didn't want to let me off the hook. The answer was correct, but she pushed the question further.

“Because compound bows allow for a loose bow at full draw by utilizing cams or wheels on the upper and lower limbs. This means that as I pull the bowstring back, the pulley system reaches a point where the weight required to hold the bowstring is greatly reduced. Holding the drawn bow in this position becomes much easier, reducing the strain on my muscles and allowing the aim to be more stable and maintained longer.” At that moment, I remembered the definition I had seen in the book.

"I don't know." But I just answered calmly, not caring. If I answered, maybe I would get advice or something, but I didn't care. I didn't plan to join the guild, and I didn't care whether I could get a higher grade or not.

It is enough for me to ensure that I stay in this college and make good use of the resources given to me.

"Don't you know?" She narrowed her eyes, and the pressure on me became greater and greater. Although she didn't reach the level of the principal, her pressure was no joke.

“Yes,” I responded, my words coming out a little breathless from the pressure. “Because you haven’t gotten to that point yet.”

"But you should have prepared before coming here." She looked smug and turned her gaze to the girl in front of her.

"Irina, can you answer?"

"Yes. Compound bows offer more power because they unwind the bow when fully drawn, by utilizing cams or wheels on the upper and lower limbs. This means that as the bowstring is pulled back, the pulley system reaches a point where the weight required to hold the bowstring is greatly reduced. Holding the drawn bow in this position becomes much easier, reducing the strain on the muscles and allowing the aim to be more stable and maintained longer."

This is exactly the same answer as in the textbook. Apparently, Irina came to class after preparing for the lesson.

"Do you understand, Mr. Morse?"

“Puff…”

I saw the classmates around me were laughing and rolling on the ground with laughter, but I neither minded nor felt angry.

"He who gratifies himself by degrading others is always a pitiful creature." After all, I could also reveal that I knew about it and gratify myself by embarrassing the woman in front of me here and now.

However, this did me no good.

After all, I am just a small fish in the pot. In order to achieve my goal, it is necessary to be burned by the fire sometimes.

"Understood"

“Great, where were we?” I saw her eyes roaming over me as she began to explain again.

It seems I'm on her blacklist, but I don't care.

So I lowered my head, stared at the textbook and memorized everything in my mind.
