The Teleportation device was emitting a terrifying Energy. Within the teleporter device, a tear in space could be seen with the naked eyes, presumably where you need to pass through to cross between planets.
"please get to your group and double check if everything is prepared before you step into the teleporter" Mr Adam cautioned the kids
"if everything is ready, please line up so that one groups a time can get in"
Lining up, the student form a straight line while also staying in theirs circle.
Emily's group was placed on the back so it'll be a while before it's their turn to go through the device. The rest of member in the group was looking forward to it but someone in particular doesn't really feels the same like the others.
Nervously waiting for her group turns. Emily palms were sweating. This is a first for her, she never really think of leaving the place she born in. She also worries about the hunt that instructor Adam just talk about. Since there's no beast in Earth, she never really met with a beast face to face before. Let alone fighting against them... well it's not like she loves to fight to begin with.
"It's alright.. and don't be like that. Even if we have a trouble with a beast, I'm pretty sure the hunter that the school hired will come to save us" Melissa understood Emily worries so she gently reassure her coward friend. She look like a mother that's try to encourage their child to step into the kindergarten for the first time.
An hour passes
What seems like an eternity were about to end. It's now their group turns to step into Teleporter.
Leading the group, Tom is the first one that got through the teleporter And the rest on the back followed. Gritting her teeth and closing her eyes, Emily start to move too.
Feeling the weird sensation when her skin touch the Wormhole. It starts to pull her in but she didn't fight it, she just let it drag her
It was warm...
Breath in, Breath out...
Slowly opening her eyes again, she could see the blue sky and the scorching hot sun. It's was bigger and hotter than Earth's Sun. Or so she thought, the Sun is just a little bit closer to the planet.
Looking at the big blue sky, she tried to feel the gentle wind that hit hers exposed skin. It's like a cool breeze on a hot summer day but it was cut short as she could feel someone gently pull her hand. Snapping out of her daze and now focusing on the latter. She could see someone who was dear to her, just seeing the smile warmed her eyes.
"Didn't I told you it be fine?" Melissa chuckled seeing the petrified looked on her friend's face. Being pulled closer, that's when she notices the skyscraper behind her friend.
It is only a guess but she definitely think her guesses was on point, that was a Guildhall
A GuildHall was used to house some of the hunter that came to hunt in the area, it also provide some quest or commission the hunters could pick up.
Working as hunter is great nowadays since you can make a lot of money just from selling the Corspe of a beast. And living in a guild is safe too, if a beast attacked the guild, the beast usually been dealt with by some hunters that live in the same area.
"Since now that everyone is here! Your homeroom teacher will show you the way to your dorms" Mr Adam's loud voice Boom and echo throughout the field taking everyone by surprise "you can either rest or looking around the Guildhall for today. Just make sure you can get up for tomorrow"
With that set everyone went their separate way. Since Emily is pretty worn out, she'll just rest in the dorm for the day leaving the four behind on their own.
Getting in her room, she immediately fall asleep on the bed leaving all the worries that been lingering in her mind behind. There is still some sweats on her body but she's fine with that. She'll just wash it off tomorrow.
The day passes quickly as she sleep..
Waking up by the SunLight that passes through the curtain, she reluctantly getting up from the bed and wipes the crusted drool on the corner of her mouth. The sore on her body was completely gone after a good night sleep, she could feel her body was a lot better than yesterday.
Focusing on her surroundings. Since she is so tired to look around the room and already started to sleep on the bed. She didn't realize how nice and clean the room actually was.
Washing hers body's dirty fluid and wearing the school uniform, she look perfect even the bag under her eyes is gone. Grabbing the red sword that was placed beside her bed, she held it up high using both hands.
"I will be relying on you for today's hunt okay?.." Emily said out loud just enough for her confidence to rise up the peak.
Placing the sword on her waist and taking a deep breath. She slowly pushes the door open.
Going to where she been told to by the instructor yesterday, She start to walk out of the guild through the shelter's gate. Beside the gate were a lot of hunters acts as a guard to protect the shelter from any beast's attacks.
just 30 meters away from the shelter, she could already see some student already waiting on a big green field. Walking towards the waiting ground. her hazel eyes keep on moving in a very fast speed as if she was desperate to spot someone in the field. But Melissa and Tom were nowhere to be seen
"EMILY!!" Familiar voice called her name from behind. Turning her head to see who it is, it's Tom and beside him is Melissa. The reason she couldn't find them just now is pretty obvious, the two were late.
Waving her hands at them, she told them to be faster so she can get the hunt to be over with.
"Good morning my fellow student! Since it is already late, you guys can start the hunt first. Don't worry about the rest of the student that is late, they will join you after this" Mr Adam greet them in his Combat attire. He will probably accompany the kids with the hunt so the academy doesn't get sued "Now please get to your circle and get into the forest behind me"
Grabbing the sword tightly, it looks like her confidence was getting low again and the fear is coming back to her after the announcement was made.
She is really gonna faint if the worries in her heart didn't go away.
"Damn.. I thought your confidence is high just now when you are waving at us but look at you now shaking" Tom teased her seeing the fearful look the girl has has on her face.
"Come on let's go, Mr Adam is already moving" Melissa glare at Tom for making the joke and started to walk forward while holding onto Emily's cold hand. A slight smile appeared on Tom's face as he find the warning kinda cute.
Right after Instructor Adam enters the wood, all the groups started to follow him.
Entering the green forest, they didn't really noticed it but now when they are close enough, some of the student was surprised seeing how big the tree was actually. The shortest tree they could see is already 20 meters high, some even as tall as 50 meters to the sky. The reason the teachers pick this area of all place is because if some of the student were in trouble they could easily be spotted since the big bushes didn't really disturb their field of vision.
Since the teachers already informed them what they should do yesterday in the assembly hall. Some of the groups were already begin to move deeper into the woods as they're excited to hunt theirs prey.
The Hunt begins...
