Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453 103.3 - Training and Guides

Returning to my room after the training session, I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me. The mental strain of the exercises, combined with the intense focus required, had taken its toll. I closed the door behind me and walked over to my bed, sitting down heavily.

I had been training and studying for a long while in the academy, but I had never felt such exhaustion before. Even with my own talents, learning such a thing seemed to be taking its toll on me.

For a while, I just sat there, my mind buzzing with thoughts. The training with Reina had been enlightening, pushing me to understand my abilities on a deeper level.

At the same time, I thought about Dakota.

'Isn't the usual procedure would be contacting your disciple in one way or another? Is she busy or what?' I had expected Dakota to contact me, perhaps to discuss my performance or to schedule further training sessions. But there had been no word from her as if she deemed there was no reason to reach out.

Was she testing me in some way? Or perhaps she had other priorities that demanded her attention? I couldn't be sure, not that I could do anything about it.

'Now, let's see. Dakota mentioned that my smartwatch's functions would be elevated.'

With nothing else pressing to do, I decided to explore the new functions of the smartwatch the organization had provided. The device had vibrated earlier, indicating an update, and I was curious to see what additional capabilities it now offered.

I activated the smartwatch and navigated through the menu. The interface was sleek and user-friendly, a testament to the advanced technology the organization possessed. I noticed several new icons and options that hadn't been there before.

First, I checked the training schedule. As expected, nothing was shown there, as Dakota already said that I would be having this around night. Therefore, I did not pay much attention to it. But from the design, it seems the training here is also not that easy, just like it will be in the academy from now on.

Next, I explored the communication functions. The smartwatch had an encrypted messaging system, allowing for secure communication with other members of the organization.

There were also options for video calls and voice messages, though it is not like they are advanced or anything.

I found a new section labeled "Resource Access." Curious, I opened it and discovered a vast library of information at my fingertips.

There were documents, research papers, and training manuals on a wide range of topics, from

But there was a catch there.

'As expected. Nothing in this world is free.'

If you want something from someone, you need to show them something that is useful. That is the basic requirement of this world: transactions.

The smartwatch had a section dedicated to a currency system. The organization operated with its own internal currency, known as [Arcanum Credits]. These credits were awarded for various activities: completing missions, contributing to the organization outside of assigned missions, or achieving notable accomplishments as a trainee.

Curious about my current balance, I navigated to the currency section. To my surprise, I found a decent amount of Arcanum Credits already at my disposal. The reason was immediately apparent—a note indicated that I had been awarded credits for achieving the first rank in the examination.

'Interesting,' I thought. 'So, they're not just about training and missions. There's a whole economy within the organization.'

With these credits, I could access more advanced resources, purchase special equipment, or even secure private training sessions with experts. It was a clever system, encouraging members to excel and contribute in various ways.

I decided to explore the Resource Access section further. The documents and training manuals were categorized by difficulty and specialization. Basic resources were free, but more advanced materials required Arcanum Credits.

I browsed through the options, noting the various topics available. There were detailed guides on combat techniques, magical theory, and strategic planning. Each document had a brief description and a price in credits.

'To think that they have such access to the information that is hidden in the Valerian Government. The fact that such a thing can exist is insane.' It was very hard for me not to get aggravated as even the best hacker organization in the world, [Horde], would not be able to access these documents. That meant the rogation ran deep in the government.

I scrolled through the list, considering my options. The combat techniques section was particularly interesting. There were advanced [Art Manuals] on close-quarters combat, long-range tactics, and even specialized weapon training.

Given my [Weapon Master] class, these resources could be incredibly valuable.

As I explored, I kept an eye on my balance.

It showed that I had 500 Arcanum Credits. I wasn't sure how far these credits would go, so I decided to check the prices of various resources.
