The first class of the second day was another theory class. "Today, we will start the second unit of the mana theory class." The instructor's voice came into my ears. He is not a well-known character in the game, although I see him appear as a "professor" from time to time. "As we have learned before, Mana is the fundamental power that runs through our world and all living things..." He kept talking about things related to mana, but I was sitting in the back row and didn't hear him at all. Because I looked at the textbook for a while, it didn't take me long to grasp the essence of it. The main reason why I couldn't continue listening was because the professor was not good at teaching... He might be good at academics and research, but he was definitely not good at teaching because he kept interrupting himself while speaking, making it difficult for me to concentrate. "Anyway, I can teach myself later." Thinking of this, I began to think about what I should do in the future. I needed money first. My bank account was running low, and if I was going to use a gun, I had to be able to pay for it. There are several ways to make money, and for a time traveler, the most basic is to buy stocks, because it helps to know the future of the game. But it also meant that I needed funds to invest in stocks in the first place.
"I can solve this by borrowing money from the college," I thought to myself. Every student has the right to borrow money, and the maximum amount that can be borrowed is 40,000 Vale, which is enough to buy a high-end firearm. There was no way I was going to spend the borrowed money this way. I knew I needed to invest in stocks, and borrowing money to invest in stocks seemed like a good idea. But I don't know much about the details of the stock market, and there are many small details that affect the stock market. I am a person who likes to play the game down to the details, but even I don't care much about stocks, because as a player, I would rather hunt some monsters for money than deal with stocks in the game. Just like that, I started recalling the small details I saw in the game and looking for investment opportunities. "Well...if I remember correctly, there was a side quest where a girl asked us to join her guild to explore a dungeon because they needed help. And Ethan was a kind character, he would help the girl, and then their guild would suddenly rise because of the help." I thought to myself. This is a very common side quest, helping some random NPCs can improve the player's reputation and gain an additional ally in the future. Although Ethan will help this girl, he will not join her guild. But the girl will still raise funds for him and then repay him with her own money. The reason why she found Ethan was because he was ranked lower at the beginning and was easy to talk to. She also knew that Ethan was a kind-hearted person. I turned my gaze to the girl sitting in the front right corner of the classroom. She was wearing a regular school uniform but even with this simple outfit she managed to stand out because I saw some boys looking at her. Her name was Emily Anderson, and she had long, flowing chestnut hair that fell to her shoulders, and her eyes were deep blue. When she smiled, her whole face lit up, and it was hard not to notice the warmth and kindness in her expression. But my eyes can see things that others cannot. Her school uniform was slightly torn, and although she looked fashionable, she wore no decorations, but on her ears, a small hole could be seen, which was used to wear an earring. She touched her wrist from time to time, showing that she once wore a bracelet. Her eyes looked quite tired and her hands were covered with calluses. I could even see her wince from time to time when the wind from the window blew on her arms. It was obvious that her arms were injured, but she was trying her best to hide it. From this alone, I can infer that she is in urgent need of money, but has nowhere to ask. In the game, she has already used up the money she borrowed from the academy, but she still needs money. “I should also join them in their dungeon exploration.” I thought to myself There are many stores that sell guns online, but I plan to check the black market and scrap yards first. Thinking this way, I began to plan how to implement it. The most important thing now is to observe Emily and take action at the most appropriate time. Although there is still plenty of time for her to seek help, considering that she has recently... "Mr. Morse, are you listening?" It seems that I have to deal with this professor who doesn't like me first.
...... In this way, the days passed one by one until the weekend arrived. As the last rays of sunlight shone into the classroom on Friday afternoon, signaling the end of the last class of the week, Professor Williams, the teacher of the History and Legends course, stood up from his desk and addressed the students. "Okay, everyone, I have a little assignment for you before you leave for the weekend," Professor Williams announced with a warm smile. "As you know, we have been discussing ancient civilizations and their impact on our world. For this assignment, I want each of you to pick one of the civilizations we have studied so far and research one aspect of their culture, art, or technology that most interests you." "You have a full week to complete this assignment," Professor Williams continued. "Next Friday, each of you will give a short speech on a topic of your choice. Feel free to use any visual aids or props to enhance your speech." He scanned the room, making eye contact with each student. "Remember, the purpose of this assignment is not just to learn about the civilizations themselves, but how their advancements or cultural contributions have shaped our world today. So choose wisely and make your presentation engaging!" “One more thing,” Professor Williams added, “I encourage everyone to have fun with this assignment. History is not just about memorizing dates and names, it’s about discovering the stories of our world’s past and how they have impacted our present.” "Have a great weekend everyone!" Professor Williams waved goodbye to the students. "Remember, history is an adventure waiting for us to explore!" Just like that, he left the classroom with a smile. However, after he left, everyone booed. "Oh... What a boring class..." I heard Julia puffing her cheeks and talking. Beside her were Ethan and Irina. "What are you going to do this weekend?" Irina asked, looking at Victor who was sitting in front of her. But the man's eyes were not on her, but on someone else. "Julia, our guild discovered a new dungeon yesterday. Shall we go explore it together?" Victor said, looking at Julia with sparkling eyes. "Okay, I'm in." Julia replied with a smile, probably not understanding what her answer meant. "Okay, then we'll arrange a meeting time later." Victor replied, with a smile on his serious face. Irina was very unhappy to see Victor blatantly ignoring her. With her cunning mind, she interrupted. "Then I'll go too." "No, this..." "That sounds good. I've always wanted to see a magician use magic." "Julie..." Victor was about to refuse, but Irina didn't let her. "Remember to notify me when you are leaving." Irina walked towards Julia with a smile. I also saw that Ethan wanted to go to the dungeon with them, but he was too weak to go with them just yet. "Ethan, do you have any plans?" At this time, Lucas poked the absent-minded Ethan and interrupted. "I'm going to train." "Come on, let's go walk around the city." "No, I'm going to train." "well...." As they were talking to themselves, I stood up and left the classroom. With the arrival of the weekend, I could finally leave the college. I've been training non-stop throughout the week while also utilizing in-game material to maximize my training, and it's been working out pretty well. ————

Now, my body values are at the average level of a normal adult. I've been watching Emily for the past week, observing her behavior, physical condition, etc., and now I have enough time to make some money myself. Once I got to my room, I started getting ready for my weekend trip.
Turning on the watch, I checked my bank account and found 40,333 WAL in it. I applied for a student loan on Wednesday and the college responded to me very quickly. The academy will let students use the weapons they provide outside, but they will also use the same weapons during exams, joint training, and practice. However, if you lose your weapon, you are basically dead...because a normal weapon costs 100,000 Valer. The compound bow on my back is more expensive than ordinary weapons, and its value is around 125,000. This is also the reason why most students prefer to use their own weapons outside the academy, but I don't care too much about it. With that, I left the room and headed for the Arcadia train station. On the way, I found that it was the guard who let me out last Friday. When he saw that I was about to leave the school again, he showed a knowing expression. "Going home?" "Yes." Although I was misunderstood, I didn't care and nodded in response. "It's fine... it's good to be with your family, but make sure you come before curfew on Sunday." "Thank you, sir." I nodded, and soon I left the college and arrived at the train station. Thanks to the fact that students at Hunter College can travel anywhere without paying, I booked a seat to Areopolis. And so, my weekend begins...
