As the AI ultra-engine school bus pulled up to the massive gates of the De Vera mansion, the guards stationed there approached the vehicle, their expressions stern and vigilant. The sleek, futuristic design of the bus contrasted sharply with the traditional stone walls and wrought iron gates, a symbol of the De Vera family's wealth and status.
The guards, clad in crisp uniforms and armed with the authority of their positions, stepped forward to intercept the bus. "State your purpose," one of them demanded, his voice firm and commanding.
Inside the bus, the teachers exchanged glances before one of them, a distinguished figure with an air of authority, spoke up. "We're here to pick up Adam," he announced, his tone carrying a hint of impatience. "We're on our way to Manila for the Elite Trial."
