Chapter 17 - Teammates

Two people, completely unacquainted towards one another, truly inspiring! There's there no doubt in my mind that there will be problems later on due to your one and only…

"alright that's the last sheet, everyone please do not forget to also read the rules on the back, fortunately there are only four simple rules that you have to follow, make sure to follow them well!"

Seems like she's in s decent mood today, although if I weren't here it would definitely be better…

On the back huh…

Rule 1- No fighting each other!

Rule 2- No venturing below floor five!

Rule 3- Items brought back determine your final scores!

Rule 4- Always stay within your party, failure to do so means immediate failure!

Seems pretty simple…hmm there's more words at the bottom left of the cage?

P.s We see everything that occurs in the dungeon!!!!

Oh…

At least now I know that I'll be safe. For the most part… (how can they see everything by the way?!)

"ok, now that all the instructions have been told, it's time to move towards the middle area of the academy, where most of the facilities are located and placed"

Right here we go…

Hmm…How do you talk to people again? (phewwwwww)

s-should I go now while we're still in class and introduce myself? (they probably know who I am though…)

t-this is so hard? I'm getting nostalgic for some reason… (hah…like three days ago…)

I think I'm going to wait a bit…

(everyone else seems like they are discussing groups already though…)

"class, the time for your last practical in finals has come! A chapter of your life ends today and another starts anew! Please all of you make your way towards the dungeon in your chosen groups."

It's getting noisy again… I better head to the dungeon grounds first then find my team members after.

After, all of the final year students gathered at the middle of the academy. A great number of teachers and practical examiners were present.

Amongst the chaos, I saw my sister in another with her two female partners in tow, seemed like she was the leader too not that the other two were any weaker…

Speaking of which I need to find mine quick!

Looking through the wide spread crowd for them, among the masses of people all were fully geared and prepared for the upcoming challenge.

In all honesty, comparing myself to them…

Makes me feel really plain… (dull to shiny I guess)

"whatever…where are my teammates though, I can't find them anywhere."

Soon after, I felt a gentle hand pulling on my shirt from behind followed by a subtle soft voice calling out "kaen…we're behind you"

As I directed my attention to them, a sudden voice appeared throughout the academies dungeon grounds. "hello everyone, welcome!"

I was caught off guard, I looked around trying to figure out where this voice was coming from, it sounded like it was coming at me from all directions, and seeing how others reacted I take it I wasn't the only one who could.

The examiners announcements and introductory had commenced.

All around me, people were startled and dishevelled, not knowing where this mysterious deep male voice is coming from.

The male voice continued to say…

"alright!!! Is everyone excited? I hope so, don't forget this is also a contest and I hope everyon…huh wha- oh I wasn't supposed to say that? But it is a conte- shhh, ok. Ok. I won't say anything! Ahem*"

Contest? There's a contest now?

"ahem* never mind what I just said right now…uhh i-it would s-seem it was cancelled…yes…cough, apart from that, just do your best out there today, get your team together and go towards the middle of the grounds toward the dungeon gate good luck!"

Cancel my foot!!! (maybe that voice wasn't so mysterious after all)

"oh right my teammates!"

Looking behind me now, I saw both of them together, uh…their names…what were they again?

Pink haired girl and blonde head boy?

"oh, it's nice meeting you, my name is kaen but you probably already knew that…" (haha...)

Now that I look at it, I didn't notice it before, that girl she… was holding on to my shirt the entire time of that announcement.

From the time she called out to me till now…

Now that I'm actually looking at her closely and hearing her voice!

Isn't she actually quite…beautiful?

Whaaaa- why did I not notice at all?

Hmmm, looking across towards the person behind her, that blonde kid…

It seems like he is, agitated? Angry maybe? Oh...ohhhhh (grins)

I think I've discovered something that I wasn't supposed too…

This is going to be interesting.
