As Bernard was gently placing the tag back on the game capsule he could hear a light chuckle coming from behind him, it sounded light and was exactly cool to hear, that if someone wasn't paying enough attention they wouldn't be able to hear it, he could help but turn his head but then the moment he did he caught a glimpse of Sophia smiling, however as she noticed him she immediately kept a straight poker face like she didn't do anything.

Bernard simply smiled when he saw this, not just because of her but because the game capsule was fucking expensive who ever that wrote it seemed like he was just trying to pull the legs on anyone who was interested in it, there was no way he could afford such a thing at his current level except he was some rich CEO, an heir of a powerful organization or from an aboriginal family.

He was sure the people who could afford it were them not the him at this moment, not even if he goes bankrupt however he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but turn to look at Sophia, with a smile what if he choose to marry her wouldn't he be able to afford it then?

Not just that he would also have no need for money and for the rest of his life, although he thought that it wasn't that simple and was likely more complicated than he thought, what's more, there was more disadvantage than the advantage he was currently thinking of.

This made him realize another major problem if he couldn't afford it then how was he going to begin training himself? although it was expensive he couldn't just give up just like that right? besides he was sure there must be another way somehow for him to be able to get the VR game capsule, but then he had no clue how to go about it after coming to this world he was simply by himself he had no relatives or anybody to rely on except himself.

That was when he saw Sophia walk toward him and said something that made both him and Emelia heave a sigh of relief.

,m "Although VR game capsules are very expensive, the academy has already made provision for them so you don't need to worry about it. Otherwise, it would not have been so popular among symbiote users in the world, and would only have been known by the powerful symbiote users. If you are interested in them, the academy has an activity hall room that is full of them at least enough for a thousand symbiote users to play at the same time. If you like we can head back to the academy immediately so that I can show you guys."Sophia said.

Benard and Emelia nodded in excitement, and left the arcade store almost immediately seeing the tag on the game capsules for some reason made them really annoyed, thankfully the academy was able to provide the VR game for free to students, otherwise with how many zeros there was on the tag they definitely would have not been able to afford it.

As they took the route they used in coming, back to the academy Bernard was lost in thought once again he was imagining how the game would be like and what to expect from it, however, he realized no matter how much he tried to imagine it he still couldn't.

Eventually, after a while, they were finally outside out league city, once they were out Benard couldn't help but stare at the huge gate that was placed before the city and the large words that were written on both sides of the gate. Entering the city had been a memorable day for him, because once again he had managed to broaden his view and learned things he didn't know before, after that, they immediately walked inside a teleporter that took them directly inside the academy.

As they returned to the academy Sophia took them to the academy game room, the moment they entered inside they were bewildered although the hall room wasn't like that of the arcade store in league city but the game capsules in the arcade room was nothing in comparison to this place, because in front of them there were rows of game capsules that seemed almost endless stretched out than they could see with their eyes.

It was like a warehouse that sold game capsules, they were placed on both sides of this large hall, at the entrance of this hall room were two counters and two shops placed on both the left and right side, these places not only sold tickets that would allow the student to be able to play the academy VR game but they also put out large vending machines that anyone could purchase snacks, juice and other handy refreshments to students whether they were coming in or were going out.

Another thing was the hall room was just as packed as the arcade hall, not only that it even seemed like more and more students were coming inside it was like they were being directed to this place after realizing they couldn't afford the game capsule at the arcade store in league city.

Bernard and Emelia weren't surprised but slightly annoyed looking at the excitement in the eyes of the students they could tell they had similar intention as them, which they found to be annoying even if their emotions were selfish they still thought these bunch of students were ruining their special moments, however, there was nothing they could do except ignore it.

Eventually, after getting over their feelings, Sophia soon took them to one of the two counters placed on the left side of the entrance, as they got there they realize what was offering the tickets wasn't a human but rather a mechanical artificial intelligence, making both of them slightly surprise.

"Hello, we would like to request for three VR capsules please," Sophia said as she stared at the artificial intelligence dead straight in the eyes.

"Hmm, well come miss Sophia A..."

"Three capsules will cost you...3...15 credit points per, hour."The artificial intelligence replied, a bit spaced out and confused..
