Hearing Vincent's words, one of Peter's eyebrows raised in concentration, and after a moment, he said, "The arena of valor is a virtual reality game where two peoples can challenge each other to a virtually simulated non-lethal battle to the death. During the simulation, the participants can feel pain, but their bodies won't actually get hurt, and there's a time limit of five-minute every battle. But that's not all. There are two betting polls, one for the competitors where the ones fighting each other can put their bets, and the winner takes it all. The other betting pool is for the spectators in which the people spectating the fight can place their bets on any one of the competitors before the match begins."

"If the ones they placed their bets on win, they will earn more than what they bet even if the betting pool is in their favor."

"Arena of valor!" Vincent's eyes brightened. "It seems like a good place to harvest contribution points."

"It's good and all for the strong but brutal to the weak and poor." Varth said, "It's extremely costly. You can only access it after paying the registration fee of ten contribution points and creating an avatar. You need to bet at the very least ten contribution points when participating in a battle, be it as a combatant or a spectator. If you happen to lose the bet, you will lose everything. After dying three times, the game will apply a penalty on your avatar. You won't be able to rejoin the arena of valor without paying fifty contribution points first."

"The rules do seem harsh, but it's understandable since the creators of the game also want to make a profit, so they utilized such a tactic," Vincent said to them with squinted eyes.

Although he said that, it didn't change the fact that it was still a harvest ground for him as he could easily differentiate who is stronger among the participants.

After all, he had the supernatural and unbelievable ability to perceive the strength of any being as soon as he looks at them and activate the spell matrix [Appraisal].

"Next time, let's go together," Peter said as he looked at them.

"Sure," Vincent said in a light tone. Varth, on the other hand, nodded, signifying that he does not mind joining them.

"Are there any limitations on betting?" He asked after a moment.

"I don't think so," Varth shook his head, "You can bet as much as you like. That's the kind of place it is. Gambling, fighting for victory over the others, killing, and beating the shit out of others without incurring any penalty or jail time is the nature of the game. All of that is extremely attractive to everyone who likes to fight to the death or watch death battles. There are no limitations imposed on these matters. That's why it is getting more popular by the day," Varth expressed his opinion on the game created by none other than his family.

Vincent's eyes brightened in glee as he was happy to hear that there were no restrictions on betting

As betting on a participant didn't have any limitations, he could gamble for hours, earning hundreds of contribution points every day.

That means he will be scoring himself rich in weeks.

He was itching to head to the arcade and earn some easy gain, but he will have to wait for a few days, as he had already accepted a mission to do outside of the academy.

"It's already midnight," Peter said after checking the time by using his quantum student ID card. "See you later," he stood up to leave the room while saying that, but before he could reach near the door, Vincent's voice sounded in his ears.

"One last thing before you go." Vincent said, and he took a deep breath before continuing, "We will be heading out to complete a somewhat difficult mission which requires us to hunt a large number of monsters tomorrow. It will be rewarding to us to complete the mission as it is expected to be one of the hardest below level fifty. Do you wanna join?"

As soon as he heard his words, Peter nodded, and he said, "I will! Who wouldn't want to skip classes to go out hunting in the wilderness?"

The students of the alpha class could skip classes if they were out of the academy to complete a mission.

That's the only way to skip class that Peter knew.

Vincent's eyes blinked as he thought that Peter seems a little bit too excited about skipping classes.

"Good! Let's head together to the reception office early in the morning," Vincent said as he looked at Peter.

The newly enlisted students weren't allowed to leave the academy without permission from the academy receptionists. If a student needed to go somewhere, they needed to give a valid reason to the receptionist of the military academy. If their reasons to head out are deemed reasonable, they will be allowed to leave for a certain amount of time. If it's not, then they won't be allowed to leave.

Though it was easy for a group of students to gain approval from the receptionist to go out of the academy for three to seven days after one of them accept a monster subjugation mission.

Lastly, the students needed to complete the mission within the mentioned time limit. If they failed to do so, they would be fined a few points for taking more time than necessary to complete the mission.

There was even a chance to get stripped out of their rewards. Though in such cases, it is usually someone else who completes the mission instead of the students.

After talking about the necessary stuff, Peter reached near the door before speaking, "Good night, guys. See you soon!" He said to them before leaving the room.

After he left the room, Vincent and Varth talked about a few things and went to sleep shortly after.
