P.O.V Aadi
I wake too a headache and a cup of water and toast sitting on my bed side I blink then remember that Wyatt was still here last night when I was tipsy and the act of falling asleep leaning on him, I feel heat on my face as I sip the water and nibble on the toast.
I was only a little tipsy so the headache fades quickly and by the time I am showered and dressed I am fine, high energy grade for the win.
I go out and stop there standing in the kitchen with a coffee mug an boxers was Wyatt although I know he was still here when I fell asleep last night him still being here and so undressed was unexpected. I look at him and can feel the heat from earlier return because he truly is the best example of a masculine but not over muscled body with slim but tight and clearly defined muscles and long legs with a clearly workout look too them and a 8 pack on his abdomen, his pecs are well defined and nipples are a dark tone compared too the rest of him with his perfectly proportioned neck and face it is truly unfair for other men with him around.
He huffs and my attention returns from my strayed thoughts as heat increases on my face but I look away and cough before asking, "Why are you still here shouldn't you be getting ready for training in your room?"
He sighs and says, "I got a alert last night that all soldiers entering the tower need too attend a meeting at ten O'clock and then will be sent into the tower immediately in their teams, they sent a high grade team in last night and they have some important information that needs too be said so you have 2 hours before anything needs too occur."
I stop as I look at my already cleaned and dressed look, I could have slept in more but now no shot so I sigh and fix myself a cup of milk with some scrambled eggs and bacon.(American bacon not what you brits call bacon)
I sit at my counter too eat when Wyatt nocks his hand against the table too get my attention, "I am heading back now meeting is in the mission hall and it will be quiet crowded so get there in the next hour not hour and a half too get a good location." He is wearing his uniform from yesterday and leaves while locking the door behind him using the key chain he has that allows access too all of his teams dorms for checks and visits.
I finish eating and stretch some too get my body ready for what is too come, I arrive at the mission hall already half full and am glad Wyatt told me too come early before heading to his room.
I stand around the middle of the pack by the time the meeting begins and the person too step out isn't Wyatt's father but his brother who is wearing the black mask with a white swirl, Griffin walks up the raised dais and begins too speak.
"As you all know from yesterday those in here are going too be undertaking the job of climbing and mapping out the new scenario within the tower we are sending you in first too check the danger and risk level for those in the tower now that it has changed, the government will give handsome rewards for information too those who find out potentially useful information on the interstellar integration we are undergoing and what is likely too occur ten years from now."
Many people in the room shifted slightly clearly thinking it shouldn't be too hard to get that bonus reward.
"If you give false or not enough information it will not count and you will be punished for false information, this is a very serious matter and all things will be treated with war like seriousness." He continues.
It is clear this is being treated in the same regard they are giving too the other world soldiers and with that all said Griffin steps down and the meeting ends.
I leave the room too go to the team meeting room for a debriefing with everyone here from the tower. I see them when training and practicing but we don't really spend much time together as we are not doing missions or task together so our times of vacation are off making it so that we can't just sit and talk, but everyone is still pretty okay with me and even show a certain amount of relief I am rejoining.
With a break and time too talk before Wyatt come me and Adrian begin too joke around and I get the news that Bree and Conner are now in a relationship, Amara is still explosive in temperament while pierce is still as introverted as ever.
Kian is apparently engaged as his family got him and arranged marriage with a high standing woman and Terrance is currently courting someone.
But Catrina isn't here and the face they make when I mention her makes it clear something happened and it wasn't pretty but they say nothing so we wait in awkward silence until Wyatt comes and there is another woman next too him with green hair yellow eyes and is a lizardman race.
She has a crossbow on her and a uniform on with a badge showing her as a senior colonel with 7 black sword over the symbol of the council a yin-yang symbol.
We stare at the new face when Wyatt explains her presence, "Because we are not a full team anymore they have given us a talented member from there guard and she will be acting as back line attacker and secondary support, her name is Ruki Munkar her father sits on the council and he hopes we will help her get a better understanding and knowledge of the army during her time with us."
She bows at his greeting and then says, "I am a acid based energy user so my arrows will be coated in acid that will weaken creatures defenses and cause a lot of harm too them, I hope too learn enough to aide the world when ten years are over."
She is very neutral and emotionless but it is fine as long as she does her required stuff all is well for her, so we talk of the current situation in the tower and we get a shock as apparently some people entered the tower last night and came out with information that all peoples tower floors had reset and although the money is still there it has almost no worth now as the worth of tower coins have drastically decreased but the worth of a revival token has increased and the tower now is you more competing with other worlds instead of just performing task.
It is a complete change too a show of what is most likely too come in ten years, we all remain silent as we know it means far more deaths from the tower then ever before will come once we reach past the tenth floor and a lot more internal fighting and sabotage.
All we can do is wait and see as that is all the information currently obtained and can be said without the tower preventing speech.
We are set too enter the tower at eight O'clock tomorrow morning so we turn in early for the night and all of us are up and ready come 6 O'clock tomorrow morning as we wait with other teams being sent out around this time, we arrive at the tower entrance spot and look at the unchanged look to it but is was now very different things behind it then before.
We enter together and like that we are pulled too a military field similar too the tutorial floor before but the introduction the person gives has changed.
"Welcome too the interstellar tower where you will undergo training too survive the upcoming wars that are too come, your world is new too this and the ten year period started two days ago making it so your world is behind some of these other worlds but you will be given three choices for learning. You can learn the interstellar grade fighting, interstellar grade support, or interstellar grade manufacturing be warned you will have too reach the basic requirements in the chosen field before your are allowed too advance and the time warping effect is still the same as the tutorial before the change so you have all the time you need too truly adjust. This is only given too new worlds in there adjustment time as in ten years you will loose the time dilation effect of the tower, make your choices wisely."
We do not have on weapons or armor but a pure white shirt black cargo pants and combat boots, it is set too fit each persons body and it is easy too tell some look better then others. But the largest change is there is easily several thousand people here and I can see the entire team I entered with, I wait for any more information as another person came up.
"I am the head of combat all who intend for this come too the center of the place." He is a dark brown man with the same hair and eye color of caramel brown with a well proportioned muscle build.
Next is a slim man with green eyes and light brown hair, "I am the support teacher all those intending for this go to your left my right side of the field."
A woman comes out with a thin but lightly muscled build with platinum blonde hair and white eyes with black sclera's with no pupil she didn't look anywhere but straight forward and even as she addressed the group she still looked straight forward not at us. "I am the teacher for manufacturing classes and all those thinking of this make sure you are capable enough cause if not I will throw you too another group to be rid of you, now with that said all those thinking of this move too your right and my left."
I move too my right and only a few others choose this with Wyatt, Kian, and Amara also choosing this while all the others move too the center from our group no one chose the support.
I see there is about 1000 people in the manufacturing side while easily 2000 in the fighting and almost 5000 in the support, few want too fight on the front lines and that is exactly what the fighting one would mean while the manufacturing is even harder with little chance for furthering ones political standing but support is like with supplies and treasury making many do it.
We are moved too a massive city like location filled with bustling streets, many different stalls and stores all over and many new and never seen species are all over the place, we are on a path and whenever people see us they get out of the way making the journey quite easy.
We arrive at a apartment like complex with many of such buildings around and a massive gate surrounding them.
We enter too see the area is like a park with side walks splitting off too different sections and a few people dressed in different military uniforms are walking around talking they all quiet down when we pass before the clear sign of gossip of one leaning over too whisper is done when we are almost completely passed them.
The buildings are white with black décor and the building are similar too the college dorm where it is two rooms attached to a single conjoined spot and the bathroom is a public one along with the kitchen and recreation room.
Fortunately there is some privacy though so it shouldn't be too bad we are all told that we will be assigned empty dorm spots and we may be assigned too spots that are with other planet inhabitants, we are give a bracelet and a backpack as in this floor spacial items won't work so they will need them before leaving us too make do on our own but we are told there will be a meeting in the common room at 8 o'clock tomorrow and too be on time.
I go too the team to talk about the situation and Wyatt orders us not too say a word pertaining to our world or it's situation, less information given the better and not to make any enemies here if possible while still obliging by the first rule.
I go to the fourth floor at the room 13 and see there is already someone there as when I open the door it has a someone sitting on the sofa in the center of the room.
There is a device similar too a T.V. in my world along with a door window that is opened would lead out too a balcony and a set of blinds pulled too the side already hung in front of it, my room mate is not from our world as he is wearing a uniform of a military I do not recognize and his feature are not the western features I have grown accustomed to but more oriental like my own making it a strange sight.
I see him look me up and down before promptly saying, "Female dorms are one building over you may have entered the wrong location, if you need aide I can help you."
His voice is calm and soothing with little inflictions of his thoughts but his wandering eyes say a different story to his gentlemen façade, I feel a hint of heat at such a thing but I calm down as I expected such confusion too eventually occur.
"I am a man I can remove my clothes if you wish too see it but I am in building 5 floor 4 and room thirteen which is this room." I try and sound polite but his stiffening body and Reddening face make it clear his embarrassment as he coughs and nods his head that I am in fact correct in my statement for this being the right room.
I enter one of the rooms and it is the right one as there is nothing in it and all the provided clothes in the closet is like the ones I spawned in, with 3 sets of pajamas and 2 extra pairs of identical shoes with a white bed and window with black out blinds already installed.
There is a night stand and a closing weapons rack in the room, I sit the bag down and open one of the drawers for the nightstand to bath items along with hygiene products put in a white basket.
All things needed for clean and tidy living is provided with a alarm clock in the top draw most likely for students too chose if they want too use it or not, I decide too head too sleep and change into the pajamas while setting the alarm clock for 6 o'clock tomorrow as it is better to be early then late.
I wake up, grab my toiletries and a new set of clothes before heading too the washroom that is almost full and will be in the next few minutes if the amount of people appearing are too go by.
I wash up get ready and put my stuff too head down too the common hall where nutrient packs and drinks based off one species are being handed out for free and anything else has a price tag but even one bagel with nothing on it is 100 tower coins meaning I will be eating free stuff so as not to waste money.
I eat quickly and there is still an hour till the meeting so I do a basic stretch outside before returning inside too the common room full and Wyatt sees me and pushes people out of the way too grab me and pull me too the others.
We wait the last ten minutes with people talking and messing around when the time hits and silence envelops the room as it is a mix of people in military uniforms and the same outfit as us here most likely the whole building, a older man in his late fifties walks out in a doctors uniform and begins to talk.
"You are here too get your class schedules along with necessary items for those from new worlds your classes start in and hour and you are expected too attend them with utmost seriousness even if you already know the course being taught failure too take seriously will see you expelled."
Those in uniforms murmur and look at us in a smug way but I can feel a few of them looking at me in a less smug and more inappropriate way.
"There is only a 100,000 places and 50,000 of those are for the new worlds too fight over so if you wish too remain do your best as if you are kicked out you will have too find your own way of learning for those of the older worlds. For you newer worlds you who fail will almost all be sent too the military section so try your best." With that a bunch of assistant come out and begin too hand out the class schedule in order of oldest worlds too newest ones so we will be last to get ours meaning we will have to rush harder too get to the classes.
I look at the paper that says;
9:00am to 11:00 am- history of interstellar
11:30am to 1:30pm- basic weapon designs
2:00pm to 4:00pm- basic material studies
4:30pm to 6:30pm- basic biological structures
7:00pm to 8:00pm- basic self defense
8:00pm-10:00pm- free time/study time
All students are too sleep at 10pm any caught out of dorms will be expelled immediately.
This is far harsher then with the original tutorial floor as the curriculum is completely changed.
