Since he was supposed to be taken to the military at around eight am, it was normal for them to come here at that time. So Kye opened the door quickly and saw a giant man.
Kye was only 160 centimeters, so it was quite small for a seventeen years old boy. As for the military man, he was probably 195 centimeters.
There was a huge height difference between them, so Kye's neck hurt a little because the man was just too tall.
"Hello kid, are you ready?" The man said with a deep and scary voice.
"Y-yes," He answered with a few difficulties.
"Good, then follow me."
Kye comply and closed the door behind him. However, he was quite stressed. It was something new that was going to happen soon, a totally new life, so he was scared of the unknown. And as usual, when he was like this, he put his hand on his parents' necklace.
Though, this time, the only thing he felt was his shirt, not the inheritance from his parent.
"Wait, where is it?" Kye almost shouted and was ready to run back. Albeit, it was impossible.
"We don't have time for that kid. Either follow me or stay here. It's your choice."
"Bu-..." Kye was about to say something, but the military's man look was scary. He didn't even manage to utter another word, and reluctantly complied.
'It's strange though,' Kye thought while walking down the stairs of his apartment. 'Now that I think about it, I didn't have it since this morning. Nor in the bathroom when I took off my clothes or when I was doing my push-ups. Is it possible that it just disappear? Where though?' He continued thinking for a while until he got the answer. 'Does this system come from the necklace? But how? It didn't do anything for so many years. Is it because I prayed for real for the first time yesterday?'
'Now that I think about it, the system's shop is called the "Holy shop", so that means that it's a religious thing?' He continue thinking until they came in front of a very long bus. There were already teens in it that Kye had never seen in his life. Some were sleeping while others were too excited to think about that.
He then got into it, and after sitting somewhere available, the bus began to move. However, it wasn't moving on the ground, but in the air instead.
There was a teleporter in the air that was designed exclusively for the military. So after moving for quite some time in the air, the bus entered the teleportation.
Teleporters were something pretty expensive, so Kye thought it would have been something incredible. Only rich people could walk through teleporters, so it must be quite a unique sensation.
However, what happened wasn't what he thought.
[External particles are trying to make the host pass out.]
'What? What's that?' Kye thought but the system just continued what it was doing.
[Cleansing process is beginning.]
[Host level is too low to cleanse those particles.]
[Host will pass out.]
'Wait, no... What's happen...?' Kye thought once more, but his eyelids were too heavy. He didn't manage to keep them open and in the end, he pass out.
It wasn't only him though. Every single person, except for the military was slowly passing out one after the other.
Kye was the last teen to pass out. The military's staff was about to make him pass out by using force, but they didn't have to. He just fell asleep at the end.
"There are some interesting students this year," One of the men said to his colleague.
"You're right. The students usually pass out immediately during this teleportation, even those who are used to it. But some lasted for quite a while. It would be the instructor who would be pleased" The other man answered as the other nodded.
Even though they were using a teleporter, the latter was only used to make the future students pass out, not to teleport anywhere. So they still needed to ride in this bus for a while before even hoping to wake up.
The military was processing like this to not let anyone attack them. It was for safety measures to protect the six bases that were used to train all the students.
Like this, no one would ever know where the bases were, and if they were even on Earth, to begin with. The military was indeed based on Earth, but that didn't mean that it wasn't using planets to exploit the new resources that they couldn't find on Earth.
With this, no one knew where the military bases were, apart from the military itself.
So they continue riding for a very long time, and after an eight-hour ride, they finally arrived at their destination.
*Clap* *Clap* "Everyone, it's time to wake up!" The man that took Kye this morning shouted, waking up every single student on the bus
"Huh?" Kye scratched his eyes to be fully awake. "Where are we?" He said to himself in a low voice.
"Everyone, get out of the bus right now!!" The military man shouted once more, and everyone began to hurry.
As for Kye, he still wasn't fully awake, but he still managed to get out of the bus.
They had landed on what seemed gray flat ground with a lot of fog in the air. They couldn't see anything strange in it, even if they were to focus for a while, so the students didn't stay on this matter for long.
[Please be careful, you aren't exposed to light anymore.]
[If you aren't exposed to light enough, all your stats will drop from half.]
'What? What is it now? Since when does a system is making someone weaker than he is already?' He didn't have time to thought for long because the military continue shouting.
"Listen everyone. I want all of you to walk for five minutes until you will see other students, is that clear!?!"
"Yes sir," Everyone shouted back to show that they were motivated. They were on the military's ground now, so they needed to act accordingly.
The students then walked for five minutes, and as the military man was saying, they saw other students lining up one behind the other. There were four different lines with four different professors that were supposed to supervise the tests that students were supposed to take.
Strength test, agility test, and an endurance test. All the students needed to pass the three of them, and at the end, they were receiving another watch with a number on it.
'No, not again. I don't want to live another hell during my stay here,' Kye thought while going behind someone to wait for his turn. 'I hate this system.'
