In Middle Earth, a humongous building stood there, but from it's infrastructure one would notice that it was still under construction. This building is the base headquarters of the World Federation Council, which was created due to the evolving earth.
Several buses could be seen driving towards the headquarters and they were coming from different directions, alighting from the buses were teenagers and youths. Raven got down from his bus and noticed how much the crowd was, he couldn't count the people around with his fingers. He stretched his neck around to see if he would see Danny, since Danny didn't live in his residential area, he wasn't in the bus he took.
*Sheeeennnn!!!*
There was a sudden ringung from a microphone and everyone quietened down as they look towards the levitating stage, on it stood a masked woman and by her left and right, were six people, each on one side. Everyone was wondering who they were.
"Welcome to the World Federation Council... I'm sure you all are wondering what this is, so I'll explain it"
"As you know our world has changed, the impossible has become possible, now we can fly, summon objects or animals or even carry objects ten times our weight, and many more, but with these powers, there will always be those who would want to use them wrongly that's one of the reasons why we created this council.
And the council is made up of 12 representatives of every continent of the world, you might be thinking they are weak, but let me tell you a secret, the world has changed since 17 years ago, the system has also existed since that time. It was just at this point did the system went worldwide"
Hearing this words earned murmurs from the crowd gathered, Raven noticed a few older men around,_ I thought they were only taking young people?
"Along with the world change, came our planet being exposed to other planetary races, yes, aliens exists, and not just your ordinary kind of aliens, the monsters you read in your folklore do exists and they stay on planets away from ours... we have forged some relationship with some of them while the others just want to take over our planet, that's another reason we created the WFC, in case of an invasion, we want to groom you all so you will fight to protect our planet"
Someone amongst the crowd raised his hand, The woman nodded at him, "Can you mention a few races?"
"Oh, there are demons, celestials, who most likened to gods, the giant races, vampires, werewolves and beastmen, and several others"
"Also, once you level up to 1, you will be advised to choose a path, I advise you that you think through the path you want to take, becauS that is the path you will take throughout your entire life, I noticed that some of you have already chosen a path, I hope the path you choose leads you to glory"
"How do we level up?" Someone shouted from the crowd and the masked woman's eyes glinted.
"Leveling up can be done in several ways, completing the quests given to you by the system, killing beasts or enemies, or even practicing a skill to perfection can level you up, so leveling up depends on you"
"If that is all, you all will be given a wristband, and on this wristband, is your general information, your name, age and level, nothing else, cause we believe in privacy"
Raven listened as he immediately felt something clasp around his hand, he looked down to notice a silver wristband, and he immediately received a prompt from his system.
[Attempt to synchronize with system?]
[Yes/No]
Can it synchronize so that only my name, level and age is shown?, He thought.
[Yes, host, does host want incomplete synchronization?]
Raven was bewildered, _so I can speak with my thoughts, how cool. He chose yes and immediately a hologram popped up from his wristband showing a picture of him, his name, age and level.
"The wristband not only serves to show your information, it can act as a web browser and a from communication between people, to access a person's information, you need to touch each other's wristband, that way you can contact then wherever they are"
This garnered noise as several people attempted it and found out it's as the masked woman said, her eyes glinted as she watched this scene play out.
"Now you will be shown your Federation Academy Zone, it us just below your information, my name is Zircon Greenwheel, your Council president and by me are the Council's vice leaders" The masked woman bowed her head as the levitated stage floated towards the inner part of the headquarters.
Raven looked at his wristband as he saw that he was designated to Zone 7, and he looked around to check if he did see another person in his zone. He noticed the confusioin in everyone's face.
As though they expected this, a man in military uniform walked up the lifted platform and coughed, despite not using any voice amplifier, his voice reverberated rowund the area. Everyone quietened down as they noticed the man, the x scar on his forehead made him terrifying.
"Isn't he Major General Micheal Zensworth?" Someone murmured to the person beside him.
"Yes of course, he is the one, with that scar you can't mistake him for someone else"
Raven looked at the two people and noticed that they seem to be of the Asian and African nationality. _ this Micheal is sure popular,
"Most of you all night know me, but for those who do not, I am Micheal Zensworth, Head General of the Federation Army, as we would be in charge of your academy zone, the Council has elected 11 other generals who would be in charge of an academy zone" As soon as Micheal finished his statement 11 people in military uniforms walked up the stage, each carrying different auras, some fierce, some friendly and others neutral. There were of different nationality, there was a Japanese man, a black American, a Korean, a Chinese woman, an African woman, and others, there were 5 women and 7 men including Micheal.
"I'm in charge of Zone 7,, so if you are in Zone 7, come to me" After Micheal finished the other generals began to say their zone and gathered their zone members around them.
Raven walked up to where Micheal stood, he has his arms crossed across his chest, several people were standing around him, Raven just walked into the crowd and stood.
Some hours later, when all of Zone 7 had gathered, they were ushered into multiple buses and they drove towards the west. Raven sat by the window, he reminisced through what he had gone through abd couldn't help but release a sigh.
"Weird, huh?" someone said beside him, causing Raven to turn and look at the speaker, it was a red haired boy with asian features, he had a tattoo below each eyes, Raven couldn't see his eyes since they were closed.
Seeing Raven's silence, the guy chuckled, "forgive my manners, I'm Zhang Que, surnamed Zhang and first name Que"
"Raven Regina"' Raven just said earning a gasp from Zhang Que causing Raven to frown and Zhang Que pulled himself together.
"I'm just surprised, you have the surname of the strongest man on earth, so I was a hit flustered"
"Oh, sorry to disappoint you, but my parents are dead" Raven said flatly and Zhang Que just made an "oh".
They got talking and Raven found out that he is from an Aristocratic family in China, he even told Raven about the path he chose, he wanted to become an unparalleled swordsman, whereby his sword could cut through anything.
Raven smiled at his goal, and it reminded him of Danny, which got him worried, _hope he didn't go berserk.
When the busses arrived to the Zone 7 academy, everyone was bewildered, the academy was a goddamn city surrounded by high walls, this kind of scenario was happening in other zones, but each zone was of different infrastructure, some were medieval, some Indian, some futuristic while some were japanese. Zone 7 was of the futuristic version.
The gates opened, and the buses drove in towards a residential area filled with tall buildings, they were told that this was the student quarters. There were already people living in the place.
"Surprising right, but as the Council head had said, the world changed years ago, and some people had an early access to the system, so they have been here since then" the bespectacled man in the bus said. Raven looked at him, though the man looked weak, he had a dangerous vibe around him.
When everyone got down, they were designated to their particular residence, with a prompt, each room can only be occupied by two people, some can be mixed while some are of same gender. Raven had black lines on his face when he heard this.
He walked up to the signboard of his residence, he searched for his name and finally saw it, he was in room 24, the room at the uppermost floor. He immediately walked in, ignoring the name that came after his room number, it said Elizabeth Montgomery. Zhang Que saw the name and immediately gulped. So he suddenly yelled, "Raven, I hope you survive"
Raven paused and turned around as he rose an eyebrow, I'm just going to my room, why do I need to survive? but he still nodded and took an elevator.
Getting to the floor, the door opened with a ding and Raven came across a hallway with about 4 doors on each side, he walked out and saw the room number 24 above a door on his left. He saw a scanner by the door, he marveled at how futuristic they made the door function.
|Please place your band on the scanner|
A robotic voice sounded, and Raven just placed his wristband on the scanner, immediately the door unlocked. He turned the handle and walked in. As soon as he locked the door and turned around his eyes widened.
What the hell?!!!_
End of Chapter 4.
