Chapter 89 - Exploration

They all move out of the great hall and headed outside the dormitory town, all the group were taken to different location, 10 instructors and teachers from different schools were in charge of each group and ten virtual map were given to each group.

Even with 10 of them, it would be a bit stressful for the instructors to control all 100 students and take them around the exploration site, so they decided to shared the students among themselves with each instructors having 10 students under their control.

They are to explore from the market to the museum, then to the public library before going to the arena where the tournament will be taking place. Each of this place are large enough like a small city and it would take more than two days for hundred students to explore each of these vast areas and several groups can explore at the same time without bumping into each other.

Emmy's group and some other groups will be exploring the market first before going to the museum. Traversing the large market took them several hours and even at that, they didn't explore it thoroughly, they were only taken to places where they're to get useful information about the world and the city itself.

They got to the museum where the only information they got is all about the past, the ancient times when there was nothing like technology, there was nothing like ability, only magic exists, there are mages and warriors. Emmy wonder how the humans of the past have been living without technology.

They saw a statue of a man in robe with a long rod in his hand and a small orb at the top of the rod, the instructors told them that's what a mage of the past look like. They explained to them that the magic they used is also similar to ability of these days but the difference is that a magic needs to he prepared beforehand, a spell needs to be cast and casting magic spells takes some times, also that a mage can use more than one magical element once they know the right spell and formation, not like the ability of now a days where humans can have no more than one ability.

After spending hours in the museum, it was already late so they're ordered to move back to the dorm and continue the exploration by the next day.

The exploration has been rather boring for Emmy, nothing interesting happened, he was all alone till the end while other students had fun as they explored, it was also the same on Sunny's side, he had been alone till the end of th exploration and that's because he decided to.

Different set of students both male and female have gone to him to join their exploration group but Sunny have simply turned them down and even gave some of them a few beating but on Emmy's side, it was as if he wasn't in his group at all, nobody even notice him while they explored and he love it to be like that as nobody got to trouble him.

The next exploration on the second day was a bit different, not only did Emmy found an interesting book in the library but also got a quest from his system.

He stare blankly into the air looking at the quest.

[New Quest Received]

[Gather more information on the Dark Times and how it affect the recent world]

[Reward:???]

'Dark Times?'

He look at the small book he was holding, the book is no more than five sheets with its front and back cover blank but at the first page, a few words was written in capital letters.

*A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DARK TIMES*

*Year: 2024 - 3099*

The author's name was blank so he flipped to the next page.

*The dark times reign from year 2024 when humanity have given up on evolving, to year 3099 when they finally found the needs to evolve. In the 2024, for an unknown reason, countless deadly creature have descended upon earth ready to -

Somone snatched the book out of his hand.

"Hey loner."

A very beautiful young lady with striking blue eyes and a delicate face said as she got the book out of his hand and threw it to the other side. Emmy stared at her with fury burning in the depth of his eyes looking at her dangerously.

"Huh what, is it something interesting, it's just a random book you decided to read because you're bored."

The girl said after sensing Emmy's anger.

"Who are you and what do you want."

Emmy asked as he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Just wanna cheer you up, you've been all alone and moody since yesterday."

The girl said as she slightly move her head around.

"Thanks for your concern, can you get me the book back."

"I can now understand why you're all alone, but I'm sorry I think the other side is restricted to outsiders."

Emmy read what was written on the wall that separated the two sides and found out that it was really restricted.

'Damn, what's wrong with this bitch, I was about to get some knowledge there.'

"Get out of my way bitch."

Emmy said as he shoved her to the side and walk away.

'I'll need to visit the public library in my city and look for that book.'

They left the library and move to the next location of their exploration, the vast arena where the tournament would be taking place.

The arena is as large as a small city with different structures and buildings here and there, three different large stadium, more than fifty uplift stage for combat sports, a large space with countless VR pod, a vast field with nothing stretched forward. They explore the vast expanse of the arena going from area to area looking at all the different structures in the arena.

The exploration ended at dusk and they all moved back to the dormitory town to get prepared for tomorrow's event.

On their way back to the dormitory town, they meet other groups coming from all different direction and that's when Emmy spotted Sunny, but the boy don't seem to be alright, he looks rough with his dress having gotten stained and he even looked surrounded but still, the bastard still look cool, there's even a subtle smile on his face.

"That mongrel, what happened."

Emmy said as he decided to run over to him but he was intercepted by two boys who where in front of him.

"Huh mongrel? Look who's calling someone a mongrel."

One of the boys said with his hand stretched, stopping Emmy's advance.

'Why do I keep saying things out these days.'

"I apologize, I wasn't talking to you guys."

Emmy said as he slightly bend his head.

"Oh wow, what a humble asshole."

The boy move out of the way for him and Emmy wasted no time appearing in front of Sunny.

A group of 7 boys was surrounding him.
