Internship for what???

My Weird Internship


After graduating from high school, most teenagers in the Boven Republic will choose to continue their education at Vocational School instead of going to university. FK Vocational School is one of the vocational schools that has good quality and has 4 majors, plus the cost of this school is quite affordable.

However, as people usually say "There is a price, there is quality". FK Vocational School still has a bunch of unresolved problems. one of them is policies that are made inconsistently. An example is the internship program policy before graduation, this program was held suddenly. The school said that the program would be a substitute for the additional learning program. The third graders were only given 2 options to join the program and graduate normally or retake it in the next semester.

This made them feel upset, but what can be done? They were about to graduate from this school. So, they thought it was better to avoid any problems that would hinder them.
The day came, the day they would start their internship program.

At 7 a.m., they arrived at the internship site. The third-years were even more confused after seeing the company that would be their internship site. Because the company was a company whose name had never been heard.

They were finally gathered in a large lobby, which had been filled with many chairs. and the students were amazed because the design of the lobby looked very futuristic. After waiting for about 15 minutes, a man with a shaved head in a black suit and red tie appeared, the man immediately greeted them with a big smile while saying "Good morning, third graders of the fourth generation FK vocational high school".

They replied "Good morning..." They all still looked confused.
Getting an unsatisfactory response, the man continued talking about what they were going to do here.

"Um, some of you might think that this internship will interfere with your studies, but that's not true."
The man added "This program is the result of a collaboration between your school and our company. This program will be a substitute for your additional study program. what makes this new program different from your old program is that you will be studying in a game. you must be familiar with this, right?"

His words had made the entire lobby noisy. as the students started chatting with each other. before the atmosphere became even more chaotic the man continued to explain.

"Please be quiet everyone!" with a forefinger covering his mouth. signaling them to be quiet.
After the situation was quiet again. the man continued "The first thing that you all should know, in this internship you will get 2 important tasks. I hope you can remember them"

"For the first task, it's quite simple. You have to score above the standard set by the school on every practice question."

"And for the second assignment. you will be serving as a game tester. but you don't need to worry, because many of you are still new to this job. so we will only give you light tasks. like, reporting if you find bugs. and after the game is finished, you have to give your feedback on this game. and if you can do all these things, you will also get paid according to our assessment."

After finishing explaining all that. slowly, the students' faces changed. now they looked much more excited than before. because they thought this job would be very easy and fun.

The man continued to say "That's all from me. if there is anything you want to ask, please raise your hand, and state your name and class. I will only answer the 3 fastest questions."
After he was allowed to ask questions. some students immediately raised their hands. although he said he would choose the fastest. The truth, this bald man would only choose people who interested him.

"Yes, you there, the neatest looking guy here," he said while showing his friendly smile.
The student immediately stood up very elegantly and asked. "I'm Lucas from the third year of hotel accommodation. My question is can this game make us interested in continuing to play this game?"

Hearing those words from that student made him smile. He looked very confident with his answer. "in this game you will play a simulation of a country based on your class. and in that country, you can do many things that you can't do in this world. such as being a king, queen, president, and many more. for the management of the country is still the same as other simulation-themed games in general. collect taxes, build state facilities, and repeat. so you can learn more in this game. I think that is what makes this game much more interesting, because you will have many experiences that you have not been able to experience before."

With that answer, the students became more interested in the game. the man pointed out one more person who he thought was interesting. he chose a student who had brown skin. the student immediately stood up, without any hesitation.

"My name is Amar from third-year culinary art. My question is what is the difference between this game and ordinary simulation games, which can be played on an internet cafe PC."
The bald man smiled again in response to the question, a sign that he was very confident in answering all the questions the students asked.

"First, we are not going to play this game on a PC or any other device. But we are going to play it here" The bald man pointed his finger at his head. "That's right, we are going to use our brains to play this game."

"How? You will be the first person to try this machine. we call it 'Dreampi'. this machine works by reading and giving brain waves when we sleep. By exchanging our brain waves and the brain waves created by this machine we can be in the same dream. so we will play in the dream world."
"And this machine is safe for you. So, you have nothing to worry it."

After hearing that, the students are now showing their smiles. a sign that they can't wait to try the machine. the bald man again shows his big smile. now he is sure that all the students are curious about the game they have made. the bald man also checks if there are still students who want to ask questions.

"Any questions?" he said to make sure.
and it turned out that there was still a guy who had a weak body with slightly curly hair.
"Yes, you go over there," the man said, pointing at the limp man.

"My name is Ju-Ju-juan and I'm from the woodcarving engineering class. my question is can we have a harem life?" the student asked nervously.

upon hearing the student's question, his classmates burst out laughing. and the bald man did not show his big smile again and instead showed a flat expression.
