Fortunately, thanks to how advanced the technology of this world was, all my broken bones and cuts were healed overnight. What used to take months to heal back in my previous world, healed overnight. Truly miraculous.
It was Sunday morning, and Thomas came to pick me up.
...It was finally time for me to collect my reward. A skill.
I had originally planned on acquiring a skill when my strength reached a certain level, but it came as a pleasant surprise for me to be able to get my hands on one this early in the novel.
It has to be noted that within the academy, apart from the professors, only a small percentage of students had skills. This was including the third years.
Only the rich second-generation heirs could even have a chance at acquiring a skill, and even then, they could only gain access to at most a couple. They were just too expensive and rare for guilds to freely give them away...
Following Thomas inside of a remote location that was heavily guarded against all directions, arriving in front of a large building that seemed to look like regular storage space, Thomas nodded towards an empty space.
Soon a couple of shadows in the form of two white-clad guards materialized in front of us. I was slightly startled by their appearance, but I soon calmed down. The people guarding this place should obviously be strong, else what was the point of even storing such valuable things here?
After doing multiple checks on Thomas, the guards that were clad in white hid in the shadows completely masking their presence.
After seeing the guards disappearing, Thomas placed his palm on the wall.
-Clank!
A couple of seconds after placing his palm on the wall, a small section on the wall disappeared revealing a small compartment that contained a digital 6-digit lock.
-Beep! -Beep! -Beep!
Arriving in front of the box, Thomas quickly inserted the passcode.
Right after inserting the password, a green light blinked a couple of times, and soon after, in a similar fashion to before, a small circular compartment appeared on the wall.
Opening his right eye wide, Thomas leaned on the wall and placed his eyes on the hole.
-Clank!
-Voooooom!
Seconds after placing his eye on the wall, a loud rumbling resonated across the surroundings and the overhead door slid upwards.
"That's one hell of an annoying process!"
Stretching his back, Thomas grumbled as he waited for the door to completely slide upwards.
As soon as the door opened completely, I felt a blinding light enter my eyes, prompting me to cover my eyes with my arm.
After the light dyed down, a completely unknown world was presented before me.
A thick metallic scent instantly entered my nostrils as I passed the large metallic gate. Soon, the scent was replaced by an aromatic scent that pleasantly enveloped my nose.
Beyond the door, an open entryway with high ceilings painted with vivid imagery depicting an image of several humans fighting against a demon instantly caught my attention.
The marble floor polished to the point that the lights neatly reflected on the marble, reminded of a clear lake that gently reflected the sun rays coming from the sun. Arriving inside of a spacious room with patterned walls, heavy curtains, area rugs, high windows, and upholstered furniture made of heavy oak, Thomas told me to patiently sit down on a red sofa.
