Chapter 63 of "The SSS Ranked Villain's Return" starts here: Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire "Now then, everyone, you will all be... Discover what happens next!

Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire "Now then, everyone, you will all be in a single team, no exceptions," Magnus announced, emphasizing that last part while shooting a glance at Kael. He soon continued, "Combat is a sacred act, and it's our duty to improve it. Therefore, I will be teaching you all combat tactics, practically. You will learn how to use the terrain to your advantage." Sounds simple enough. Neraxis nodded.@@@@ Yet Magnus was not finished. "Our academy owns a small mountain just slightly outside of this city, and that's where you will all be going today." "Huh? What about food?" a single student exclaimed, only to be met with a stern explanation. "If you want food, then hunt for it. You can also find berries where we will be going, as the mountain is in the middle of a forest." Neraxis grew slightly curious and asked, "Who exactly will we be training against? I believe most of us can kill monsters now. Unless you're planning to train us yourself?" "I am not," Magnus shook his head before nonchalantly adding, "I've gathered prisoners and scattered them all around the mountain range as well as the forest below. Your task is to simply use the terrain and kill them all." What the fuck? Neraxis's eyes widened as gasps resounded from all around him. "You want us to play executioner? Are you serious?" he asked. Magnus's reply was cold. "You lot are the special class. Therefore, I am giving you special treatment. As such, I am allowing you to get accustomed to killing, since while this city, Argon, might be peaceful, the other cities, not so much." Once everyone quieted down, he continued, "Argon is blessed to have so many individuals to defend from the constant onslaught of Rift Breaks, while the other regions and cities are not so lucky, most being turned into monster zones." "That is why," Magnus raised his voice, "I am teaching you to kill, so you don't get yourselves killed." ...I find that hard to believe unless the academy is planning to send us off to those monster-infested zones. Neraxis narrowed his eyes, but alas, Magnus clapped his hands, gathering everyone's attention again. "Everyone, head to the top floor and onto the rooftop, where a transport helicopter is waiting. It should have just enough room for 20 of you. I will meet you there. Good luck." As his words finished, Magnus suddenly vanished from their eyes, and soon, the entire class was left alone with just a single instruction: go to the roof. Hmm... this is— Neraxis's words were interrupted when, all of a sudden, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Upon turning around, he saw Aella looking at him with a smile. "Did you sleep at all? Or were you actually training all night?" "Haha... No, I didn't really have time to sleep," Neraxis responded when Kael suddenly nudged him before saying, After just a few minutes, they landed, and soon, one of the instructors who had tagged along with them escorted each of the students out. However, as Neraxis began looking around, he suddenly felt a gust of wind, followed by the helicopter flying off, leaving them behind. Of course... He groaned and glanced around this so-called encampment. There were tents, while at the same time, a few makeshift brick houses that were mostly used to build pubs where the people could get drunk. As for the streets, they were either littered with shit or with blood, mostly mixed in between. Just as he remembered. "Everyone." Neraxis turned to his group. "This is a monster zone—not very high-ranked—but still, remain on guard." "Huh? Is it really?" Aella's puzzled voice rang out, a sentiment shared by the people around her. "Neraxis, the Zarj Encampment is a safe zone," Celina commented, making his brows furrow. This is one of the events that happens not long after the academy starts... how could I forget? Neraxis mused before turning to the mountain off in the distance. Within this week, if not tonight, there will be a mass Rift outbreak on top of the mountain, and it will unleash monsters to decimate this entire place. He gathered his thoughts and said, "Kael, could you stick around the encampment for a little while? In the meantime, we will go look around." "Hmm?" Kael hummed with confusion before suddenly halting, a grin appearing on his face, coupled with a knowing look. "Y-You are a player," he stammered and gave Neraxis a thumbs-up. This idiot... It did not take Neraxis long to figure out what he meant, but he did not bother correcting Kael. After all, once these Rifts appear, all the corrupt militia here will go on to kill each other instead of fighting the monsters. And if Kael was there to prevent that from happening, then that would be perfect. As for Neraxis, he was going to set up escape countermeasures in the high chance that something goes wrong. He turned to the girls, receiving a puzzled look from Celina, an embarrassed look from Aurelia, and, well, a surprisingly obedient look from Aella. Letting out a sigh, he gestured toward the forest. "Shall we scout the area?"
