'Yes!' He chuckled inwardly. He was not worried about the character deletion since the whole game would be reset. He can just repeat all the things he had done and get the same progress. The only loss he would gain was the random generated skills and rewards.

Creek!

The door opened and made a sound that broke the silence in the room and got Pedro's attention. A cute girl, around 20 years old, wearing glasses and a typical shirt and jeans peak slightly inside the room. She had black hair and tan colored skin.

'Pedro? He's early! Must be because of the announcement' The girl smiled at Pedro as she went and sat opposite to Pedro's side.

'Sabrina always arrive ahead of time!' He recalled that the girl was the one who always arrives first whenever he goes to the university early accidentally in his past life. Pedro waved his hands in response as he returned back to his phone.

Minutes later, their classmates arrived one by one.

Creek!

The door opened and a man wearing a yellow hoodie and jeans entered the room. He looked lost and was looking for someone. When he spotted Pedro, He walked towards him and continued to play the Portable Game Console, PGC, he held in his hands.

Pedro lifted his bag and the man wearing yellow hoodie sat beside him.

”Still playing first gen. games, Aldo?” Pedro uttered as his attention was caught on the PGC of Aldo.

”Yo... If it isn't Mr. Weird!” A good looking guy walks to Aldo with a smug in his face. Two other guys walked behind him with a mocking look.

'I pity Aldo! He's gonna get humiliated again!' The two guys behind the good looking guy smirked too each other.

The good looking guy grabs the left shoulder of Aldo and slowly tightens his grasp. Instinctively, Aldo tried to stand and fight back. Unfortunately, When Aldo was about to stand the guy pulled Aldo back to his chair.

'What a guy... He can only talk with his disgusting attitude!' Their other classmates, mostly girls, gossip around as they look at Aldo with disgust.

”You!” Aldo could only glance at the guy with anger. He struggled and tried to punch the guy in full force.

Swooosh!
