To have students train to resist pirate incursions if random designs would make them extrely adaptable to such situations should they happen. A student who went through this world many tis would be a nightmare for a pirate crew, and would probably be their last 'score'.
Dante had an interest in these worlds for sure. He was going to select one of them to partake in and harvest as many Supercoins as he could within reason.
He first looked at the fourth and fifth most visited worlds just to be sure.

Dante nodded his head. This world was perfect for the students who wanted to experience the hierarchy of power, sothing that was integral to creating great leaders.
It was often why CEOs of companies would not imdiately appoint their sons as leaders but have them start as clerks and then rise up. Without the experience of tasting the life of a worker at each rank, you would never be able to understand or lead them truly.
It wouldn't even really be your fault, but just an unfortunate matter of disconnect. Your employee was speaking language A and you were speaking language B, how could you possibly understand each other?
Dante was not sure why they used a dieval world, but then that would negate hot weapons which kinda ruined the hierarchy. A person with a plasma rifle and no bionics could shoot down a person with level 5 military bionics.
Obviously, that was not very conducive to training a batch of capable leaders. Best to put them in a world limited to cold weapons where they could display the full range of their physical and ntal ability to take advantage of the situation.

Ah, another sensible world. In this ever-expanding universe, it was a fact that there was more than 50% of it that was undiscovered and uncharted.
It was a frequent occurrence in society that a person would co upon a new planet in uncharted space, and there were whole professions and industries centered around such a thing.
Fortunately, there was a world like this to help students go through the process of mapping out a discovered world. After all, you can't just lay claim to what you don't know.
There were rules about such a thing.
Dante looked at these five worlds and juggled them in his head. He glanced at his schedule and saw that his first superpower class in the Black Land would occur in two days with Xue Bing, so he had ti.
In the interim, he could set himself up in one of these worlds and then continue later. The reason why most students even required four years and above of study in this academy, and in all learning institutions of all grades, was the fact that the Virtual Worlds in the Etraverse do not have ti dilation.
So if a world says 30 days, it ant 30 days in reality too would pass by the ti you were done. So not only did you need ti to complete so higher-difficulty words, but you also needed to balance it with your real schedule.
Fortunately, it's not like when you began a world, you were forced to stay in it till you were done. As long as your avatar or body within the world was left in a safe place, you could log out of the quantum universe and do other things in reality then pop back in.
However, this too was susceptible to poor timing. For example, the Pirate Incursion world had a 1-day tir, so if you logged out to attend to an ergency that took hours or a full day, you would likely log back in to see that ti had elapsed and you had failed.
With this in mind, Dante chose the first world, the Apocalypse World to start. Not only was it the number 1 world, but he could definitely use 2 days to hide himself sowhere when it was ti for his session at the Black Land.
As for other worlds, their tirs were either too short, or in the case of the Rising Star world was in constant war, so where could he hide? In 2 days, he could not beco a general and if he missed any postings or orders, that would be a dereliction of duty.
Dante chose the most popular world and was taken to a login screen. Here, his student ID was entered and his na was generated as his real na. His character avatar was also modeled after himself 100% and he had no say in this, nor did any student.
As you could imagine, the Eternal Academy disdained such thods. You were in a fictional virtual world for the love of god, who do you think you are that only you must hide your precious face?
Because of revenge? Then what were you doing taking up a precious slot in this prestigious academy for elites? Go back ho and apply to so lesser institution where you can be protected and coddled like a baby!
After all of that, Dante was presented with an overview map of the entire world, which was about the size of half of earth. It was a Pangaea-like continent with a few settlents and large cities marked as territories he could be bound to.
The rest was ruined wasteland and even so marked danger zones as well as death zones where even the toughest would die unless they had the luck of the cosmos on their back.
Dante could also see the 'player' population of each city and choose the most remote one with the least players called 'The Fallout Shelter'. However, he had already been inford through his AI chip by the world that he would not conveniently drop into the city at the start.
No, rather he would be spawned in a random place within the territory of this city and have to make his way over quickly through the dangerous wasteland to seek shelter.
Luckily, all players were given an 'awakened' superpower the mont they dropped into the world from the highly concentrated radiation, which also acts as the reason you survived all this while out of safety in terms of backstory.
The superpower was random, and what everyone got varied. Those who already had superpowers would get an extra one for free for fairness' sake, so if your base superpower was fire control, you could unlock another one like flight!
Dante finished his assessnt and descended into the world. It wasn't dramatic or anything, the 'screen' blacked out and he found himself kneeling in a bush, warily watching a bunch of mutated two-headed dogs that were tearing a nearby corpse up.
Dante looked down to see his tattered clothes which were the sa as the corpse being torn up and ascertained that they had likely traveled together all this while as partners and well, sothing clearly happened.
Dante remained still while in the bush, not daring to move since there were about 5 of the mutated dogs there. If they spotted him, with their strength and numbers, he would follow the person on the ground and be eliminated within seconds of arriving.
He certainly wouldn't be the first as many people had landed in worse situations due to bad luck, but it would certainly be embarrassing.
He took his eyes off the dogs for a second and opened his current in-world SDI. This did not require the AI chips which were blocked, and was a feature of every virtual world.
