The hall was huge, and looked to have the capacity to hold atleast a thousand people, in the hall there were four pillars and these four pillars didn't look normal at all, they looked to have been sculpted with human beings in mind, each of these four pillars were shaped to look like humans and they extended from top to bottom, the whole hall was filled with chairs and on these chairs sat atleast a hundred persons that all seemed to be of the same age as Toku with some elderly people that seemed to either be those kids parents or guardians.
At the other end of the hall, opposite where Toku, Antonio and the attendant had entered, was a podium and on the podium stood another statue, and this statue just stood there in an 'at eased' position looking aloof was giving of the feel of respect and granduer. These statues however weren't made out of gold but seemed to be made out of what seemed to be marble, although they didn't look as shinny as the statues in front of the administrative building they still had their own unique shimmer.
Also on the podium, stood a woman who was dressed in a formal pink office suit, she had straight long pink hair that went all the way to her shoulder and stopped at the upper part of her back, she didn't dress her hair up in any special manner but allowed it to flow freely which surprising brought out more of her beauty, she had a fair skin with a body that looked almost identical to the number eight, with curves at the right places and a pair of pink eyes. She had a full chest which seemed to be threatening to burst open her well style office suit at any moment. The word that would come into anyones mind upon seeing her is 'beautiful'.
Upon the stage, there also stood a man who wore a black suit but he didn't wear the suit's coat but only the waist coat. he had curly dark hair with green eyes, he looked to be middle aged around thirty or forty atmost and he wore stylish circular framed glasses. After the attendant brought Toku and Antonio to the hall, he turned back and went back through the corridor going back to the busy ground floor with different counters to continue his work.
Antonio led Toku and they both sat down right at the back behind the last row of kid with their parents or guardians. As they sat down, they were able to hear what the woman in pink was saying.
" I welcome you all, my name is Rosewelle pink and I am the principal and overseer here at ITI. If you are a child and you're here, it means that among the thousands of other children that have applied to enter the Integrated Training Intitute, you all are the special few that have been chosen, you all have been given the oppurtunity to become leaders and elites in your generation thus standing above your pairs, and have also been given the responsibility to protect the human race from any form of danger after we the older generation are no more around" Miss Rosewelle gave her speech with a firm tone of authority lingering under it. It just goes to show that although she was a lady she was one that wasn't to be messed with.
" While you are in ITI, we will teach you indeptly about all what you need to know about the human race, and we will also teach you about other race that you will come in contact with along the way. We won't stop there but we will also teach you how to fight and protect yourself in the face of danger, we will push you to the limit and also help you break that limit thus creating a better generation for mankind. So if you came here thinking that ITI is all play and fun, you are all gravely mistaken" As miss Rosewelle said these words she was very stern and from her voice even the elders could see that she was very patriotic to her kind.
"And so without further ado, I officially welcome you all to the Integrated Training Institute" Miss Rosewelle said as she knodded her head.
And with that, a small dot of light appeared behind her before it slowly grew bigger until it became ten feet wide and ten feet high, it whirled slowly and calmly with a blueish glow, her straight pink hair fluttered calmly in the air as the spatial portal appeared behind her, she stepped aside and gave a signal for the kids to pass through the portal. Towards the back of the podium, the man wearing the waist coat and glasses had his right hand streched out indicating that the he was the cause of this.
Different children started passing through the portal with their belongings or what they thought would be useful to them while in ITI , and the portal would normally fluctuate a bit after they entered. The adults weren't allowed to enter and just watched their wards passed through the portal. Some had an indifferent expression, some were sad because it will be a while before they could see their wards again, some were happy that their kids were going on to be elites of the elites while others had a face full of hope as they watched their wards back disappear in the the portal.
Then it was Toku's turn, before they left Antonio's house, Toku had aready parked his belongings which weren't much and only filled a small shoulder bag which Antonio had given him the day before " So I guess this is good bye for now" Toku said to Antonio as he stood up from the chair with his bag hung over one of his shoulders.
" I guess so kid, my only advice is not to get into much trouble because it would just stress me more" Antonio said as he too stood up and escorted Toku towards the portal.
" Trouble have I ever.....hahaha" Toku said while laughing towards the portal with Antonio.
" You being here is trouble enough boy...(tsk)" Antonio sighed as he and Toku stopped at the portal, they were the last people to go in.
" Well in that case I guess I would have to trouble you more...well good-bye also please take care of aunt and Kylie for me" Toku said as he finally passed through the portal.
' (Sigh)....what an annoying kid, well I hope he does his best...atleast he wouldn't disappiont me too much' Antonio thought as a smile slowly crept onto his face, he really couldn't believe how fast Toku was able to cope and adjust to his environment, it hadn't even been five days since he left the forsaken realm, a realm that is rummored to have the ability to change the mindset of even a pope for worst but he adjusted and mixed in just fine in fact it was even too good to be true ' I see great potential in him' Antonio thought before turning to leave only to see Miss Rosewelle looking at him
" General Antonio Raven I presume I have some important matters to discuss with you" Miss Roswelle said.
"Ooooh...if it isn't the famous thorny rose....I wonder what businees you have with me have " Antonio commented while smiling.
