Chereads / The Labryinth / Chapter 39 - Basic Training

Chapter 39 - Basic Training

After hearing everyone's abilities they all became silent for a moment before Max decided to break the silence. "I think before we do anything else we should use our labyrinth id's to begin our basic training, and then we can go into more detail about our team breakdown."

The group hearing this nodded they had no idea how going into the trial would be, if they were split up they would need to survive until they were able to group up.

"Also before we begin I've come up with a directive we should all program into our devices it's simple, it is just a directive for WIN balls to locate ourselves and also to be able to search out each other so that we will be able to find one another…"

"Also James Todd and Lucia since the WIN ball is you guys communication device as well you should program your device to simply track your own location and search you out if you every get a certain distance from it, the technology is pretty advanced so I'm sure it should be capable of that at least."

After saying this max allowed the group to process what he had just said. They all nodded as this was a great idea for a directive to have the WIN balls do.

"Alright let's see what this training has in store for us!" Todd said, originally he and James wanted to check out the arcade but after hearing max talk they remembered they had just gotten abilities like the hero's they played in games and had seen in movies. It would definitely be more interesting to use powers in real life than to make some character in a screen use abilities.

They all brought out their labyrinth ID cards and as soon as each card was brought out they began glowing different colors while holes in the ground also opened up glowing in colors corresponding to each ID card.

Out of each hole within the ground of the training room floor came tubes. The tubes also has light glowing in correspondence to the glow of each ID card.

At the same time a mechanical voice sounded in the room, "Proceed to the tube corresponding to your ID card color to begin your basic training."

Once the voice finished they all walked towards the tube that matched the color of their card, while Van was the only one still standing around as a melodic feminine voice sounded in his head after what seemed like a long time of him not hearing it.

[I can help you learn all of your abilities not only the super speed one, also remember you have a different way of gaining strength than your friends, you've yet to start cultivating the aetheric energy of your home planet.]

Hearing this Van stood back while his comrades proceeded to their tubes. This action didn't go unnoticed by Max, Elise, or Erika as they slowed down to let Lucia, James, and Todd enter their tubes before they questioned the oddities of Van's actions.

Lucia, James, and Todd quickly entered their tubes eager to learn more about their abilities. Back on planet Cyrus they had also heard of people becoming super hero's and villains over night they originally thought it was just rumors until they had been abruptly transported into the labyrinth where this suppressed fantasy of them becoming super became a dream like reality.

Once they had entered the Tubes, Max, Erika and Elise turned to face Van to see what was up, seeing not everyone getting into the tubes immediately brought Van's attention back to the world around him.

"What's up are you guys not going to participate in the basic training?" He asked the group that hadn't gotten into the tubes, he knew all of them had awakened their abilities prior to entering the labyrinth so he knew they might want to continue training how they were before but he also thought it would be a good experience as they might learn something new from the basic training while he already had a system that in his own opinion could offer him much greater assistance than what the basic training from the labyrinth could offer him.

"We saw you hesitate, I'm surprised the girls noticed, but are you not going to participate in the basic training" Max was the first to reply, he was already prepared to ask max what he was doing but Van beat him to speaking first.

Hearing Max's question the girls nodded as they also wanted to know the answer to why he didn't move toward the tubes, both of them had awakened their abilities extremely early in life so they felt like it was little this basic training could offer but they knew he had just awakened the Super Speed ability and Erika knew he had recently awakened an affinity with time so she was interested in what he was planning on doing.

Elise also knew about his time affinity through her own ability so she wanted to hear what he was up to because anyone with the level of abilities he had she felt like needed to be observed because even her ability couldn't immediately find a weakness of his and this usually only happened when the person she was using her ability on was leagues above her in strength.
