Chapter 5 - 5.Awakening

In gym building rows and rows of beds are lining up, followed by a row of weird machines at the end of it. There is a long queue line that ends with 10 doctors checking everyone's vitals before they escorted to lay in a bed wearing some kind of helmet. Every time one student wakes up there'll be another student already waiting to use the said bed. Albert already passed his dad's message to his sister so she becomes a bit more relaxed; Though seeing lines and lines of unconscious people didn't help her loosen up.

Soon it was Albert's group turn to do the checkup. They're lead to different doctors and they start hooking up some kind of reader to their body. The doctor asked Albert general health questions like allergy, weight, height, and stuff like that. She also explains a bit about the experiment like what to expect and what feeling you will be experiencing went you go through with this. Albert paid a little attention to what the doctor said cause he can't concentrate remembering his sister's frightened face when she leads to a different doctor.

"Okay you are all checked up now all I need is you to do is find an empty bed lay down, relax, and wear the helmet. You'll feel a bit nauseous and you'll be unconscious for 5 to 15 minutes. After you woke up you can go to that machine at the end of the building. Follow the machine instruction and after that, you just wait in the sides for all of this to finished and you can go."

-------Albert Perspective------

Once the doctor finishes with me she called the next person as I float towards an empty bed beside Kana. Alice already lay in her another bed wearing a helmet-like device while James's doctor is not yet finished examining him. Mr. Poe, my homeroom teacher help me off from my floating chair to the bed. As I wear the helmet and I can feel a heat-wave coming from the helmet making my head a bit warm. It was a nice feeling when suddenly I feel a pain in my neck and before I can mutter anything to express the pain that I feel, my visions turn red and a nauseousness kick in and I fell unconscious.

After I don't know how long I woke up and the nauseousness has not gone yet. I can't see Kana and Alice in their bed so I start scanning the room to see if I can spot a familiar face. I see Alice was fiddling her comlink on the sides but the rest is not on my radar. I sigh a breath of relief seeing that she was ok. I sat on the bed and when I try to get into my floating chair I feel my waist are weighing me downs.

'Wait why is my waist weighing me down. I thought it was paralyzed for good. Maybe it just a little side effect that would go away along with my nauseousness.'

I hop into my floating chair and goes into the weird machine at the end of the building. I see Kana in one of the machines and so I step into the other empty machine platform. As I step into it I can see a hologram and a row of instructions was written on there.

-Scan both your hand into the machine and wait for it to complete before taking it off-

-Drop your blood on the card that emerges and slides it right back in after-

-Scan your comlink onto the machine and take the card that will emerge with you-

It took approximately 1 minute for the machine to complete scanning and a black card emerge alongside with a needle. I prick my finger with the needle and drop my blood on the card. There I can see the card has some kind of veins and when my blood touches the card the blood seems to go into the veins and spreading to all the crevices in the card. I slide the card back into the machine and put my right hand where my comlink resides on top of the scanner. The whole process took under 3 minutes and I float out with a new card in hand towards Kana and Alice. I see James standing on one of the machine and Kana and Alice having a discussion on the side.

-End of Albert Perspective-

"How are you guys feeling?"I asked as I approached the two girls

"I'm okay a bit dizzy but Alice said her dizziness already gone so I figure it would go away soon"

"Hey hey hey. What class did you acquire is it a combat or non-combat class?" Alice asked excitedly

"Class?? What are you talking about? Are you really okay?"

"Hey, I'm okay alright. I just curious about what class you get I get Monk as my class "

"You get Monk as your class? Is this the result of the experiment? How can you see your class? And what is the difference between class? What else do you get from the experiment?" The gear in my brain starts to work and barrage Alice with questions that seem to make her brain shortcircuited.

As a game fanatic I when I heard about acquiring a class my brain goes straight to an RPG game that I usually play. Alice was not a game fanatic like me so the only explanation that makes sense is that the experiment did something. Is this experiment make me a game character with a class and that weird stuff.

"Whoa whoa whoa, one at the time, one at the time." Alice was taken aback by the barrage before Kana save her from all the pain of answering all of it.

"You can see on your comlink and see your status tab and just open it up and you'll understand. "

I open my comlink and there are 3 new tabs on it. Status, Trait, Mastery & Skill, Equipment & Inventory
