"Astral world sir? who the hell would name a game like that?" Kyon replied back while moving one seat to another in the empty classroom with himself, Yuuki, Celina and Mr Teacher.
"You three have been chosen along with other people from differant colleges to beta test this game and like the last one, you will be payed for doing this job. Now this game has the latest technology which means you will be using the Paladin system, Kyon you still have the three I gave you right?"
Mr Teacher looked at Kyon with a serious look in his eye, this time he wasnt gonna say any jokes or laugh at the game like he always did.
"YES! Love using the Paladin system, it just makes the world so real around you"
Yuuki said in joy as she calmed down when those two words were mentioned, this Paladin system is like a gateway to another world one might say. The equipment is a head gear you put on with a visor covering your eyes, one must simply lay on the bed and put it on but there is a catch to it. When you log into the world of the game, a little chip will be inserted in the back of your neck by a little needle inside the headset, this will allow it to transfer personal appearance and physical fitness.
Great another game using that stupid system, It's emjoyable don't get me wrong but too much of it can consume any human live aka addiction. Just hoping the pay is good and the game isnt boring like the last one.
"Right let's get on with it then shall we?"
"Hold it Kyon"
As the three unlucky students to be chosen for this job, the teacher stopped Kyon before he could head out of the empty classroom.
"You need to think of a stratergy before heading into the game, I heard you can't use any healing type magic"
"It's an MMORPG?"
"Yes, a good one of that too but the hardest one I have seen. Just be careful you hear me?"
"Aye aye careful this and that, don't worry afterall I did complete the last game within minutes, I welcome any challenge"
Kyon then walked out of the classroom with Yuuki and Celina into the corridor and eventually outside college on there way to the gentleman's house. On there way home the sky was a dull orange with some clouds remaining, Kyon looked to his right and saw the sun setting over the horizon, it was the most beautiful thing he saw in his entire life. As the three wallked on through empty streets they had eventually reached his house with the sky turned black and little white stars shining.
Bloody hell it's that late already?
"Right I will set the gear up, just put your stuff anywhere you like"
Kyon said as he was walking up stairs to set up three Paladin systems in his game room. Kyon is a game freak and because of that it was hard for him to grow up in school when he was little. Everyone always picked on him for being this type of person "Freak, freak, freak!" That's all he heard from the children, It didn't bother him at all because when that bell rang it was time to play something in his special room. As time went on people began to bully him, waiting at the gates when school ended, he had to get his older brother to escort him back home safely. But one day his brother got ill and he had to walk out of those gates alone, "do you want me to walk with you home?" He turned around and saw a girl the same age as him standing there.
She wore a dress long enough to reach her knee's with yellow stars on it, her hair was very long, black with blue streaks in it.
"S..sure"
Kyon was nervous, he never walked home with a girl before let alone talk to one because what everyone calls him. The kids at the gate saw the pair of them bright as day walking out of the door.
