Chapter 4 - Training Camp

The school will be having a training camp next month for our students, We were told this morning by our homeroom teacher that we will be having a training camp well something similar to military training it happens every year but the school tells the students little to nothing about were we are going are what to prepare for , from what I was told by a former student who for some reason was very reluctant to tell me even people higher on the schools food chain wouldn't say a word, but learnt a thing are two from being around Wayne and one is if you want something and someone has it torment them as much as possible you'll definitely get it, after a few days he gave up and said we'll be on our own fending for our selves in on a huge continent but from the amount of info that I could get there are a few places that I should stay clear of but I'm definitely going. The former student said that there are four major regions that the students should stay away from,

The first is the volcano region its just as it sounds the region was built up of mainly active or erupting volcanos but tho dangerous was best place to practice your mana control he explained that the areas intense heat is enough to deprive your body of moisture killing you in the process, tho he said this area was the less dangerous pertaining to the other three the reason why I want to go there is that there is a an ability that one can gain if you can properly balance your mana to go through the region and the is mana armour, he said that tho not a lot of people are willing to go through the amount of pressure that region will put them through to learn it its a beneficial defensive ability. tho when I asked him to show me he said he never learnt the ability but saw it in person before, he explained as if he was still there that it's an excellent magic defense ability, in short, its great for tanking magic attacks, cause he when on a rant for about five to ten minutes, but overall it's a good ability which is what I really need right now.

He said that tho he knows that there are four regions he only knows about that one

I later asked my mom which is who I should of went to from the start she explained a lot including info that there might be life existing in the area that we don't know about when I ask about what she meant by life existing there she shrugged off the question saying she had to go, I sighed think to my self how does mom always know so much but not only that but about the most secretive stuff too and the other that bothered me was what she meant by life existing there, I don't have time for this as I sighed to my self once again as I prepared for bed.

With having the amount of information that I and Wayne gathered about the training camp we realized that the best course of action would be for us to stick together, Partly being that we both had information of what to expect and we already know each others combat prowess so it would be our best bet of survival, oh also we can die in this training camp, yeah, like no one expected that.

But with all that set aside we had 2 months for more preparation before the day we leave

We knew we were going to be on our own so I made sure that I was prepared for almost anything, I even watch videos of how people in the stone ages used thatch and and animal parts to build huts and weapons or you could possibly say I'm just intrigued by that type of stuff. Wayne was only interested in researching magic so we didn't see each other much after the day we went home to prepare

○ 2 months later ○

As the students of the first year nervously got ready for their training camp Me and Wayne were anxiously waiting to go, As We waited heard the instructor calling to give us information you could just see the look of annoyance on my face. I worked for hours to get what little information I got on what was to come, As the instructor prattled on he mentioned one piece of information that caught my attention and it was a map of the place we where going to be at and it seemed like more of a continent than just some small country when I heard that I quickly asked " Exactly Where would this training camp would take place I know all the name of the continents aroundthe world and I have never heard of one like what you have told us of you never even mentioned the name of this place so where is it is the teacher blatantly ignored my question, As he went on with his instructions I heard him also talking about some different monster species that were supposed to be there but I tried my best to ignore him to not spoil my fun.

When the instructor finished his explanation he was told by a suspicious person cloaked in white that the casting was finished soon after the instructor told us to head to the field.

Feeling both nervous and excited at the same time I rushed to the field in anticipation of what was to occur.

As I braced myself for our trip to get to the camp I checked if I had my wallet so that I could spend a little on way.

OK guys the portal is ready line up in an alphabetical order there are some doctors coming to give you some injections not to worry it a tracker and a vaccine to slow down the ageing process in the portal as we were told by the teacher about this. It shocked most of us, it seems that inside the portal time is a lot faster than the outside world this must mean that it was placed in the portals design so, we the students can experience more in a short span of time.

As I took my shoot of the vaccine and was on my way to step into the portal my heart felt like it was about to burst from excitement. Wayne was right in front of me so we were extremely pumped to see what this new world had to offer, maybe it was what I needed to push past my mana limitations.

When we heard that it was our turn we practically dove into the portal.

Inside the portal was like looking a the star's through a telescope it was magnificent, as I exited the portal I realized that Wayne wasn't there I'm sure he was right in front of me as I searched for him I then heard out of no where we heard a huge explosion "booom" I immediately rushed back to the portal, it seems to be destroying itself I went into panic mode Wayne was no where to be found which means he was still inside the portal.
