As I was in my thought process of what I can do with my this versatile system it was interrupted by a boy asking"Damn how much is 2 litres? My belly feels like it's going to burst." So I answered that " you certainly do not need to drink 2 litres of water in one go."
The boy grumbled and told " I know that it is just that I wanted to know how much water I can drink." I caught it he was obviously lying. A loud knock from the door startled Quinn. He jerked and almost threw the empty bottle of water he was holding on the ground. The knock came again. There was only one group that knocked like that, the real soldiers. Quinn dashed towards the door and opened it. As he opened the passageway, standing in front of him was a large, muscular, bald-headed man wearing a black military uniform, signifying the earth attribute. There were several medals on his garment. His name was written on the area of the uniform right above his chest -'Sergeant Griff'
"Boy, it is time for you to vacate your room
immediately. The vehicle has been waiting
outside for five minutes already"
With everything that had happened, Quinn and Alan had forgotten about theirs move today.
"It's time for you to head to military school,"
Griff announced.
Quinn headed to the toilet before going with the sergeant. His bladder felt like bursting. As I was quickly wearing some clothes and getting ready while packing my bag with a couple of my cultivation novels for research purpose. At that time Quinn got ready and we exited together with the sergeant as we were outside I saw Quinn was sweating like crazy I was worried so I asked "Are you feeling ok." He just answered"Yeah feeling ok but the heat is taking a toll on my body." So i did the most logical thing that is opened the umbrella above his head to ease his condition at that time Quinn got a message
[Status have returned to normal].
I guided my brother towards the bus after boarding we sat close to each other.
We saw that the student were talking to each other with excitement and we were relieved that there was no one who know us but all that came to halt as the Sergeant Griff boarded the bus.
"Alright it is time for us to head to the military academy" He announced signalling the driver for departure.
The bus jerked to life and started tO move. The students were finally on their way. There was silence in the bus throughout the journey. Whenever a student started to speak, Griff would immediately glare in their direction, prompting the student to shut their mouth.
Griff didn't even have to say anything, since
they all knew what he wanted just by staring
them dead in the eye.
About ten minutes into their journey, the pop
up screen came up again and both Talen received a message from their respective system.
[A substance in the air has been detected]
[You are feeling sleepy]
[Resistance +1]
Quinn found the message strange so he turned around to see that half of the student were dizzy while Alan found nostalgia in this scene from the time he had read it. At long last Quinn felt dizzy as sleep hovered around his consciousness.
Then, he heard the sound of loud footsteps
coming towards him. He looked up to see
Sergeant Griff hovering above him.
"Looks like a few of you were able to resist the sleeping gas. Guess we'll just have to bag you"
A black bag was thrown quickly over Quinn's
head and his vision was completely covered.
The gas started to slowly creep up on his
consciousness, overpowering him. There was nothing he could do. His hand fell limply by the side and he dozed off, abandoning Consciousness. While all this happened Alan was already unconscious but he was now again in his mind scape looking frustrated he finally asked" why am I again here".
[Well boss it seems you can enter your mind space willingly and also unwillingly you can stay here or you can go back to sleep]
" Well I think I will stay in this place and practice until we reach the academy." Thus started his training he practiced punch after punches until they became powerful enough.

After a while Alan felt a splash of cold water on his face and it served it's purpose immediately jolting him awake. The only thing that he could see upon opening eyes is greenish smoke which he could feel was messing with his sense of smell. I also saw that Quinn was looking around curiously.
He and several other students began to lift
their heads to look around them. There were
currently a total of five hundred students
standing on a plain open field, in a strange
place that none of them seemed to recognise.The puzzlement on their faces spoke volumes.
"This is where the lot of you will spend the next two years of your life," the voice of Sergeant Griff explained.
The green plain was not the only thing the
students saw. There were three futuristic, huge buildings directly in front of them. The
buildings were human images sculpted entirely out of glass. Each one stood at least sixty feet tall, but that was not the only thing that the field overlooked. They were standing on an elevated platform with a city in front of them, a hidden city. Everyone was already dressed up in a military uniform and there were technological marvels appealing to them all.
These devices were too advanced for their
time. There were mechs moving crates and
there were building machines, enormous
things rising high into the sky with their crane. There was no one inside the machine, yet it laid down panel after panel of glass on a building that was still in construction.
There were flying ships, coming too close to
the ground that Quinn was afraid that they
would crash into the high rise buildings and
send a shower of glass falling on the people. However, no such thing happened. They all followed a particular path. Then there were levitating trains which rose high into the air, running on rails that none of the students could see. Some of the technology
they were witnessing had yet to be made
public.
After the first war with the Dalki race, the
humans had managed to make leaps in all sorts of technological fields. This was because theybhad managed to salvage a lot of equipment from the Dalki once the war was over. The military had decided to keep most of it for themselves. Some of the things they had found would just be too dangerous for the public to use. At least that is what they claimed.
When Quinn and Alan finally managed to stop gawking at the marvelous technology which Quinn have never seen in his life while Alan had never seen this kind of technology in his 2 lives it was truly awesome for him to see the new world he had been thrust into, at that time both Talen felt the weight on his hand and noticed that there was something placed around his wrist. It was a digital watch, yet there was nothing displayed on the screen yet.
"Placed on your wrist is your lifeline. It will
identify you as a student at this military base. It will allow you to access certain areas, pay for food, and all sorts of other things. When not in use, the wristwatch will display a number -Your corresponding power level," Griff said.
It sounded to Alan and Quinn like he was speaking some strange foreign language, and from the confusion on the other students' faces, he was sure that he was not the only one having difficulty in understanding what the man was saying"
He will now have to prepare himself to go through the hellish training that he is planing to do so that he can save his brother from that old wicked self proclaimed God.
"We will immediately begin testing your
respective levels. Don't move until you are
called forward, understand?!" Griff shouted
with a smile on his face and everyone just
nodded. The sergeant looked frightening with his smile. It was completely contradicting his hard face. But Alan was excited to test the validity of the martial art he had been practicing in the mind space. "Good luck!"
