44 Early arrival at the University! (1/2)

”Brothers and sisters! We don't need to worry! With us all together, we can explore the world further!” A male player leading a group of ten walks in the forest a few miles away from a mountain.

”Awooooooooooooo!” A very loud wolf cry was heard miles away from the mountain as its origin. All the players in the group stopped to their tracks and wore a pale look.

”Not good!” a small player quickly ran away, opposite the mountain. He ran back towards the Kagat Village which was about half a day by foot.

”Waa! Waaa!” Seconds later, the rest of the group ran for their lives!

”What was that! It is too terrifying!” the player who leads the group could only wear a bitterly smile in his face. Fear took over his pride.

Back in his room, Pedro kept the traded items to his inventory for he could not use or activate it yet. He just continued his cooking until It was just minutes before he logged off. He planned to wake up early so he could go to the university and meet his classmates before the 'announcement' would be made.

He woke up at 05:00 in the morning and jogged around outside their house and did some push-up and jumping jacks to exercise.

”I need to change my lifestyle and make a better morning exercise plan! That way, my body will not weaken when playing the game in extended hours!” He uttered to his self as he walks back to eat breakfast and prepare to go to university.

During breakfast, they had the usual morning conversation. After eating breakfast, He took a shower and quickly prepared to depart to the university.

”Let's go, Pedro!” His Uncle Gilbert was waiting outside the door of their house. He wore a Barong, black slocks and shiny black shoes. He was Pedro's Uncle in his mother side that works for them as a personal driver.

”Uncle?! Are you driving me to the university? Then, who's gonna drive for father?” Pedro asked. His father's personal driver was his uncle. This way, they could be assured that the driver wouldn't have ill intentions to his father and his trip would be safe, especially he is the president and owner of a company.

”Don't worry! Your father will leave later than usual, so he ordered me to bring you to the university first! I'll go back home to pick your father afterward.” His uncle explained.

”Thanks, uncle! But I'll just bring my car to the university! That way, I won't be troubling anyone to pick me up later!” Pedro replied as he plays the key of his Toyota Land Cruiser.

”But... your fa...” His uncle tried to argue because Pedro's father ordered him to and at the same time, he was also concerned about Pedro's safety.

”Let him, Gilbert! You don't wanna be late, son! Have a safe trip!” His mother interjected as she approached them and gestured at Pedro to leave.

He rides his car and left. After an hour of driving, he was able to reach the university earlier than he expected. It was only around 08:00 in the morning. There were many cars parked already. It mostly belonged to the university's faculty, staff, and employees.

”Guess, I'll look for Engr. Davion Garcia and ask where should I go for the 'university announcement'!” He went to their department building and look for Engr. Garcia. He decided to look for him since he was a professor who was easy to approach and kind.

Pedro's university was the Lowland University. It was located between Metro Manila and Cavite Province, that was a typical University composed of different departments for the different course offered, like the Engineering Department, Education Department, and the Business and Office Administration Department.

Each department has its own designated building on the campus. Besides departmental buildings, There was the University Logistics building, University Administration Building, Library, and a University Arena.

All of the buildings were surrounding the University Arena (North) and football field (South). The Engineering Department building was located on the left side of the intersection of the football field and the University Arena.

When he reached the fourth floor of the building, which was assigned to the Electronics Engineering, he went to the faculty room. He greeted the professors he got contact with, as respect, and went to Engr. Garcia who was talking to another faculty. When Engr. Garcia noticed Pedro he excused himself to the other faculty and approached Pedro.

”Mr. Armaz... You're early!” Engr. Garcia chuckled as he approaches Pedro.

”I predicted that there would be a huge crowd who will go to university. That's why I decided to head early!” Pedro smiled a bit awkwardly while scratching his head as he explained.
