BXBX NOVEL Chapter 343: Three Months Later
"Take these notes down, you\'ll be seeing it in the test, make sure to study them because this test score will be half of your semester\'s total score and points, do you all understand?"
The teacher, a middle age man with huge reading glasses, said to the class of 20 students.
"Yes, Teacher Zack!"
They answered in unison.
Zack moved his gaze around the students, and noticed a guy raising his hand.
"Yes, Carl?" He asked.
"Why are we still doing Algebra? Everyone heard the news AI announced two months ago, why don\'t we just stopped going to school and enter VRG to get stronger?!"
All the students turned to Carl, then at the teacher.
"Not everyone is like you, Carl--"
"--Ok, but AI said our world will be in danger soon, we need all the players in our world to help... Look, all the military, even policemen and women are already started VRG... I say we should join."
He cut the Teacher off.
"You\'re free to join VRG, But school is also important... You can play VRG on weekends, no one is stopping you... But you\'re forgetting the main rule... If you die, you\'re dead... No one will see your body, and know your name." The teacher said.
"I remembered the rule. Oh! There\'s one, if someone won the game while you\'re still alive... Only your life times will be deducted... And you\'ll be brought back."
The Teacher sighed hearing Carl, and turned around to the white board. "You have to be alive before the deduction... Now stop distracting others, and focus in class, have some brain before playing VRG with your platinum medal strength."
BAM!
Carl stood up in rage. "Are you looking down on me, Teacher?!! Not only am I a Platinum Medal holder, I also have a Rare-Class pet! No one in this class can win me in a battle!!"
"Yes, No one. Because they\'re all concentrating in their studies, and that\'s what you should be doing." The teacher looked at him over his shoulder.
"Find!!! I\'m not attending school anymore!! You all can sit here like some fools and learn... I\'ll play VRG, get stronger, and maybe become one of the core members of The Conquerors! Those guys are the real heroes! They have closed ten gates in these three months! But you guys will sit in your rooms and started praying!!!"
The Teacher sighed in frustration, turned around and threw the marker pen at him, before Carl could react, the black marker drew a line on his right cheek and fell on the ground.
"Huh?" He was stunned.
"You saw that? Your reaction speed is low... You didn\'t see me turn around because you\'re so full of yourself and others! The Conquerors are out there saving lives and helping our city! Do you think they can achieve that without being knowledgeable?!! Now sit down, and leave the rest to The Conquerors, whose only job is to protect us!" He yelled, his gold bracelet on clear view.
"Whose only job is to protect you... Is that how you think about The Conquerors protecting you, and your family? Is that how the city thinks? That The Conquerors are just here to protect the city and save everyone?"
The Teacher and the rest of the class, turned their heads to the far back, seeing two students, in facemasks and caps... Which perfectly concealed their faces.
"You? What are you saying, Ira?! That isn\'t what I meant!" The Teacher quickly rebuked.
"Oh, really...? But it sounded that way." The second student, sitting beside the one named Ira said.
"No. No. No... You are mistaking, The Conquerors are doing a good deed for the city. I didn\'t mean they\'re doing it because it\'s their job."
The Teacher was scared now... If the higher up or principal heard what he said, he\'ll lose his job... VRG gives life times, but you\'ll have to play a game, and he\'s scared to die, after playing his last game.
"Hmm... Please teacher, Mind what you say at times... It might get you in trouble." Ira said in a calm tone.
"Yes. Yes." The Teacher nodded, and said to the rest students. "Ok everyone, please be fast... Carl, sit down... I\'ll be back."
With that said, he turned around, and quickly walked out from the class.
The students moved their gazes on one another, and started murmuring.
"Do you think those two know The Conquerors?"
"I don\'t know... But the way they spoke to teacher Zack who\'s a gold medal holder... I\'m still surprised."
"Me too... They weren\'t even scared of any punishment."
"But... Did any of you noticed it? The Teacher seems to be scared of these two."
"Hmm... I think they\'re players, but their black jackets sleeves covered their bracelets, so we can\'t see their colors."
"They started a month ago... Even the Principal was very excited on that day."
"Yeah! I remembered."
Hearing the whispers of the class, Carl turned around to the two, scanning them with his eyes.
\'So they are both players... Hmm... They might help me with VRG... Maybe we can team up? But... What if they aren\'t players? Well... There\'s no harm in asking.\' He thought, and turned back to the white board.
\'I hate Algebra... It seems to have a mind on its own!! If a student thinks right, it\'ll think left!!\' He looked down at the book on his table.
\'I\'ll write down what I know... I need to finish this before closing time.\' He picked up his pen and started writing.

Zack entered the school cafeteria, and wiped the sweat off his face. \'I wonder who those girls are?\'
"Teacher Zack! What are you doing here?" The principle, a young lady in a black suit, walked up to him with a smile on his face.
"Principle Kira? Just taking some fresh air."
"Oh? Yes... What about those two?"
"Ira, and Ria?"
"Yes."
"They are brilliant... I\'ll say one of the best students in my class... But I have a question, why can\'t I see their faces? Shouldn\'t they be open in school?"
"Let them be, just focus on your job and take them as any other student... And please, don\'t offend the two in anywhere." Kira, who was also Michael\'s childhood friend, smiled at him.
"I\'m here to eat, will you join me?"
"No. I\'ll get going, I need to check up on my students." Zack smiled, and quickly walked back to his class.
