Chapter 17

Twenty seconds later I was swimming through the liquid of the VRIU and pulling the mask off my face.

“Hey, Champ! How did it go?” Ky asked when I surfaced in the real world.

“You didn’t see the match?” I asked him with a smile.

“Oh, no, sorry. Had some other work to take care of. It went well then?” The man had his paddle ready, but he didn’t put it into the black liquid until after I stepped out.

“Yeah. I won the first challenge, but Cornalic thinks I got lucky. I was hoping you might have seen it and could give me some feedback.”

“Ahh. I can watch it later if you want. You should probably ask Ms. Zerne or Jennifer what they thought about it.”

“Okay. Uhh. You ladies here?” I asked the speakers in the ceiling as I put my robe on.

“I’m here, Leo,” Jennifer said. “Ms. Zerne was here up until about half an hour ago. She asked me to ask if you could call her office after you cleaned up.”

“Great. What did you think of the match, Jennifer?” I asked.

“It was good. I’m glad you have such great experiences. Do you have any feedback for me about the gameplay?”

“No, but I was wondering what you thought about Cornalic’s observation that we might be outclassed tomorrow. I really didn’t have an opportunity to watch Moryana and Tia’tor battle. Do you believe we’ll place last?” I asked.

“Oh, I’m not sure, Leo. How do you feel right now?”

“Fine,” I said as I walked out of my alcove. “What about Bolverk? Do you think he’s the right choice for the challenge the day after tomorrow? Or do you think I should take Allurie? How about Artus? Should I take him instead?” I asked the Fenia’s name to see if I could catch Jennifer.

“I don’t think it will matter which one you take, Leo. I know you’ll do a great job.”

“Huh. Thanks for the vote of confidence.” I forced myself to smile up at the pretty blonde woman in the glass room. “Hey, I notice we don’t really need to do the whole ‘sit on the stool and watch my heart rate’ procedure anymore. Why is that?”

“We’ve been making some tweaks to the logout process of the client. It is less of a dump now and more of a slower log out. You may have noticed the music and the logout screen,” she said across the speaker.

“No. I haven’t heard any music or seen any logout screen. I only close my eyes for twenty seconds, and then I am out of the game,” I said.

“Huh. That isn’t right. Let me look at your client. It should be updated,” she said.

“That seems to happen a lot,” I said.

“What do you mean?” she asked, and I caught Ky pause his stirring out of the corner of my eye.

“That I don’t have an updated client. Aren’t I the only alpha tester? Shouldn’t I always get the updated client?”

“Uh, yeah. Hold on,” Jennifer said, and I saw her stand from behind the computer screens and walk out of the observation room.
