For the following few days, everyone had been training hard. Frad and Dav took turns to train in order to save strength to protect the group if anything happened.
The weather was slowly getting colder, and snow started covering the ground.
Till one day, Sezia told everyone to pack up.
After loading everything into the van, Sezia told them to bring along essentials only.
"Why didn't you say that before we put everything in the van!" Kinsei complained, while the rest went to grab their bags and essentials.
Sezia shrugged and replied, "Slip my mind."
Before he could vent his frustration, River said, "Just go pack up before we forget about you."
He grumbled under his breath and went to grab his stuff.
"The place we going is going to be dusty, just for your information!" She raised her voice to make sure everyone heard.
"Where the hell are we going.." Kinsei muttered as he took his bag, turning his head to see Reginald carrying his two bag, "What the hell.." He glanced and saw Otta with three bags, "Is wrong with you two."
"Essentials." The two replied.
"I give up questioning you guys." He sighed as he slang his bag over his shoulder.
After everyone got ready, they locked the van and followed Sezia.
"Remember the open area we saw a few days ago?" She asked, glancing over to them, "Kinsei! Ask a question!"
"Seriously?!" He yelled from the back as he wrapped a scarf over his face, "So what about the open area!?"
Before Sezia could reply, they could see the view was different from a few days ago.
"Woah." Dealla muttered when they exited the forest, getting a clearer view of what was before them.
Before they could say anything, a dusty breeze blew. Causing those who didn't wear a scarf to cough and the remaining to pull up their scarf to their nose.
"Everyone ready?" Sezia asked with a muffled voice.
The few quickly wore a scarf or pulled their jacket up to their nose.
"Are you sure you can breathe in that?" Reginald asked River, "I have a spare scarf."
"I will take the spare scarf." River pulled down his jacket, only to cough due to the dust, "Scarf.." Reginald quickly took out the extra scarf by his bag pocket and handed it to River.
"Now is everyone ready?" Sezia asked when she finished adjusting her goggles.
"Hey, where did you get that from?" Reginald felt it was unfair.
"I'm prepared." She gave a thumbs up since her smirk can't be seen through the scarf.
Reginald turned his head and saw Otta and Kinsei also wearing their own goggles. He glanced and saw Dav and Frad wearing sunglasses.
"Don't worry, I'm with you." Dealla patted his shoulders, "We can always just close our eyes and have them drag us."
Kate and River nodded their head by the side.
Otta sighed and put down her bag. Taking out a few pairs and passing it to the four, "We ain't going to have baggage."
"Otta the lifesaver!" River exclaimed as he put it on, "What the fuck."
"Where did you get this from?..I feel like a spy on a mission.." Dealla muttered while looking around.
"The goggles have different functions. I've instilled a few programs that allows your last known location to be send to everyone." She explained as she took out a manual, "I got a manual here if you want to read."
Kinsei took it and started reading.
"Wait, you have the same goggles?" Reginald asked, as Kinsei nodded.
"Miss Sezia asked me to build these a few days ago." Otta explained as she took out something else.
"Than why is Mr Dav and Mr Frad wearing sunglasses?" River asked.
"Why not? Is cool, isn't it?" Frad said, adjusting his bandana underneath his beanie.
"I guess so.." The students muttered.
"Everyone ready? Let's go!" Sezia exclaimed, as she took the lead.
Otta quickly put on her gloves and carried her bag, and followed behind.
"Hey.." Kinsei looked at Otta, and softly asked, "Where's your bags?"
"I've used my power to store it." She simply explained.
"Your power is a storage space?" Kinsei almost shouted, "Can you help me store my bag?"
"When in danger, I will store everyone's bag. Miss Sezia said you guys should build strength from carrying bags." She said, as something appeared in her hand, "Here, if you are ever in trouble, pull this and bring your enemies down with you."
"Is this a Freaking self destruction bomb?!" Kinsei slowly moved away from Otta, but she quickly took his hand and placed it on his palm.
"Call it intuition, but I feel this place is full of danger." She said, looking at the dust blowing like it never stops.
"And I'm a cannon fodder.." He kept it in his pocket.
"Your the only one without a power yet, at least you can provide some help with that." She shrugged, causing his head to lower with his shoulders slanted forward, "Don't worry, you won't be alone when you pulled that." His head raised a little as he glanced at her, "Your enemies will be with you too!"
"That's not a funny joke.." He felt like crying.
"Take them down when you pull that." She shrugged, "That should be fun, eh?"
Kinsei scoffed at that idea, as they continued walking through the desert of dust.
Sezia told those around her who could hear, raising her voice she said, "There's been a legend that those who falls-."
Before she finished speaking, Reginald tripped and fell hard on the ground, "Ow!" He was in front of Kinsei and Otta, who quickly helped pick him up.
"You okay?" Kinsei asked, as Reginald shook his feet.
"It felt like someone grabbed my feet." He replied while looking at the spot he fell. He dusted the dust on his knees.
"Let's not fall behind." Otta pointed at the rest, and the three quickly try and catch up.
Those in front didn't hear what happened, with Sezia continuing what she said.
"Will fall along with the demons."
