Villain With The Strongest System

Chapter 56: First Floor Run Begins



All six subjects that he had selected had great faculties and teaching methods as Rocky felt like he could not have asked for a better environment to grow and that the university for nourishment of young talents really lived up to its reputation as the best university on floor zero.

There was a lot of buzz surrounding the first team activity, as nobody was sure as to who was conducting the first team activity or what they were supposed to do except for the fact that principal Liam was the one who was going to be supervising the class.

According to the popular rumors that seemed slightly reliable, the team activities conducted by the university changed every week and presented lots of fun games and challenges.

For the first week, the team of Rocky, Buhara and Erin were absolutely ready to crush all other students and take the first spot in whatever challenge they were presented as the competitive spirit amongst the three was pretty high.

"Ahem, alright. Good Morning students, become silent now or I'll personally slap the taste out of your mouths-" said Principal Liam, as the second his voice rang through the ears of students, pin-drop silence was immediately achieved.

"I know you are all excited to show off the power of friendship. I can already see it in your eyes ....

Especially in the eyes of that Hobgoblin over there who has his hands thrown over both his teammates.

Calm down mate

Calm down...

No need to be so physical, give them space" Principal Liam said as he bashed a Hobgoblin student for no reason whatsoever in typical Liam fashion.

" Sorry to burst your bubble, but for your first week there will not be any competitive exercise, but a tower run.

Today, you students enter the tower for the first time.

Your goal is to request a quest from the floor one administrator and complete it within six hours.

There are no points assigned to this exercise except completion points and since it's the very first floor I don't expect any of you to fail.

But I will expel you if you do…. Because, how the hell do you even fail on the first floor?

Despite that, we will give all students a bracelet to press incase of emergencies as regardless of where you are, if you press that bracelet one of the faculty members will come for your protection within two minutes time, so try not die within 120 seconds.

Other than that, enjoy your first tower run, I hope to call you all floor one climbers by tonight" Principal Liam said, as Rocky's eyes widened in surprise at his sudden declaration.

Rocky knew that the university helped every student climb from floor 0 uptil floor 10 within its academic calendar, however, he did not expect the principal to throw them onto the first floor on the very first week.

'Is this it? My first tower run?' Rocky wondered, as his heart beat slightly quicker and a big smile spread over his face.

"Buhahahara! Floor one? Here we come!" said Buhara as he slapped Rocky hard on his back, while politely tapping on Erin's shoulders with a single finger.

"Should be fun!" Said Erin, as he looked completely fired up and ready to go as well.

"Follow me to the university teleportation center, the moment you walk through the Teleportation gate, you will be teleported to a random starting point on floor one.

Once you are there, you can not leave the floor unless you have a return token or you have already completed the floor run!

Remember this…..

There is no abandoning a floor run through the middle ever!

And while the teachers at this university have lots of return tokens for floor zero, the higher the floor, the lesser the return tokens available.

Since it's your first run, I've already personally prepared supplies for all of you, but from the second run you have to prepare such bags yourself.

So collect the bags with your tag on it, collect the emergency contact bracelet and hop onto the teleportation portal in teams of three for your first tower run!

Once inside, just scream the words 'Contact Administrator' and you will find him.

Goodluck" Principal Liam said, as everyone excitedly picked up their backpacks and their emergency bracelets as they enthusiastically headed towards the teleportation center.

From the backpacks alone, one could understand the level of care that principal Liam had for each student as not only did each backpack fit everyone perfectly, with the backpack for Rocky being slightly bigger than one for Erin and much smaller than one for Buhara, but the supplies in it were personalized as well.

For Buhara there was orc food, mana potion, basic health potion and common grade fist clubs, while for Rocky it was human food, stamina potion, health potion and two common grade swords.

Not only did Liam take into account ones race, but also their specializations as he made the perfect kit for all students for their first tower run.

" Thankyou-" Rocky said with a smile as he passed principal Liam, who frowned at his polite gesture.

" Take extra care, you. Of everyone, the safety of you and the girl worries me the most" Liam said, as Rocky nodded in acknowledgement.

It was moments like this that made Rocky realize that although Liam was slightly unstable mentally, he did genuinely care for his students and was sort of the best principal one could ever ask for.

Once the gate was refreshed, Rocky, Erin and Buhara stepped into the teleportation gate as a group and were teleported to a random spot on the first floor of the tower as their first ever adventure as a climber began.

( Meanwhile Sophia )

Sophia was feeling nervous as Sunday approached, as although she had prepared the trap extensively, the success or failure of her scheme depended on the skill of the assassin's harming her and her belief in her own vitality to weather the attack.

She was planning to genuinely injure herself to the brink of death just to fool one man into believing that there was a rift between Olympus gods, such was her dedication towards the family, however, she could not help but feel nervous.

No matter how courageous she was, the idea of voluntarily taking a dagger to her chest made her uncomfortable as she felt nervous and jittery the closer she came to the time of execution.

'He won't be an absolute douche and abandon me to die right? I mean nobody can be that heartless right?' she wondered as all sorts of doubts creeped into her mind, however, soon she was able to regain her composure.

It had to work…..

There was no other choice but for it to work as this was the only way for her to gain acknowledgement in her family.

Despite her being the champion of Poseidon, ever since she was young she was always looked over by her father in favor of Percy who was the perfect son in his opinion.

Ever since she was young she thirsted for his approval and this was finally her chance to get it.

'I can't mess this up, not at all-' she thought as she looked towards her two female teammates that were unfortunately going to be killed today and stepped into the teleportation portal as well.
