Chereads / Descent To Insanity / Chapter 4 - 4 Departure

Chapter 4 - 4 Departure

Wand went out of the building—smiling happily— with two papers in his hand.

There he met Alaia, John, Kurt, and Luna—the girl with [Sounds Wave] Ability.

"I will now go back and talk to my friend in the capital. As for all the kids who get accepted, read the paper they gave you! It has instructions on what to do!" Saying that Kurt went Away to meet his friend in other parts of the capital.

Wand asked the remaining three "What happened to the other three?"

"One was accepted in one of the smaller academies. The other two returned to the tent area, they will probably become members of the village council in the future." Hearing John's reply wand thought 'This world really isn't fair for everyone huh? And they say the ability's strength depends on the user. Hahhh'

Wand sighed and said looking at the three.

"Now what do we do?"

"Read the paper, Wand. "Alaia replied.

"Let's sit below that tree! The sun is burning me." Luna said.

"Yeah." The three replied.

After sitting in the tree's cold shadow. Wand, Alaia, and Luna started reading the paper they got after acceptance whereas John quickly dozed off.

Wand's paper read a congratulations at first and then went on to explain how they were going to the Main Continent tomorrow. It also requested for accepted disciples to arrive at the academy's building near sunset. They had to quickly depart tomorrow morning after all.

After the three completed reading the paper, Luna stood up catching the boy's attention "I gotta go to the building."

The boys looked at her back as she went away.

Then, they looked at each other. "Let's play Unie battle!" Wand said as Alaia nodded.

Then the boys both put their hands in an arm wrestling-like stance and started pouring unie to their hand.

"Ahhhhahhhahh" Both boys grunted as time passed slowly.

After 30 minutes both of them were tired and sweaty. They both ended up sleeping near the tree.

It was safe. There were a lot of volunteers walking nearby and no one dared to create a ruckus during this time.

"Hey! Wand! Wake up!" Alaia and John shouted, waking Wand up.

"Hmm?" Wand said groggily waking up from a daytime sleep "Oh yeah! We have to go the building." Wand exclaimed as he jumped from the ground full of energy and hugged the two boys dragging them along with him.

The boys also saw 5 other kids heading towards the same building. Two of the seven appeared well dressed, Wand guessed they were from a rich family.

When they arrived, they saw two people the same age as them waiting at the front of the building. The building's closed doors suddenly opened and the brown-haired man from before came out of it.

"Come inside! Disciples of our academy." The man said as the 10 kids rushed inside.

All the kids' faces were shocked! After all the inside of the building looked completely different from before.

Before There were stone rails towards a desk-like area made of stone but now there were few stone tables and about 20 stone chairs. The desk and stone rail had disappeared!

The man laughed heartily as he said," ha-ha, it's always fun to see the kid's reactions."

"Then, let me introduce myself. I am James from Aurora Academies admissions department. "While he was talking, other people wearing volunteer's uniforms also entered the building. Wand also saw the strength tester and Unie control tester entering. Both of them approached James.

"Hey James! Introducing yourself to the kids?"

"Most of you probably recognize me but for those who don't let me tell you. My name is Alex. I, like James, am also from the admissions department, and he here is Nick" Alex said as he pointed towards the burly strength tester "He is also from the same department."

"Sir! Can you tell me how we will go to the main continent tomorrow?" One of the kids, who wand assumed was from another village, asked.

"Tomorrow morning, we along with all other academies will go to the other side of this city behind the large building and board our ship."

"I heard that after reaching the academy we will be separated into different groups. Is it true?" a well-dressed kid asked.

"Yes! That's true. You will be separated into three groups depending on your ability. The groups are named combat group, support group and utility group. A single person can be in multiple depending on the versatility of their ability. You also will be assigned compulsory classes according to the group you are in—Oh dinner is ready! Take your seats and eat your dinner!"

After that the three men went to another room leaving the ten children behind. After a while a volunteer called the kids where buffet style dinner was ready.

Wand got his portion and started munching on a large piece of meat. John and Alaia also sat down at the same table with him.

"Which group do you think you guys will get into?" John asked.

"I will probably get into combat. What about you Wand?" Alaia said while slowly chewing his food.

Wand looked at them "Hmmm me? I will probably get into support! My ability is teleportation after all. What a shame!" Wand sighed as he continued "I think those of combat group will be able to work in the Hero's guild after graduation. I really wanted to work there."

"I wonder what I will get into. I don't really know how hair control can be used after all."

After all the kids finished eating. James entered again," Kids who have place to sleep at the capital will go back and kids who don't have will stay here. Also, Kids who are going are advised to come fast tomorrow morning even before sunrise as we are going to be leaving fast."

With that said 2 well dressed kids and 2 other kids went out.

Then James looked at other kids and said, "Get out."

"I am going to be using my ability and It might hurt you all."

After that the kids quickly went out. Soon they began to feel slight vibrations in the ground after which the man invited them back in again.

Inside were 6 newly made stone beds with an inch thick cloth layered on top of them.

You are going to be sleeping here.

After which, the man went to another room and the kids ended up sleeping. After all it was a long and stressful day.

Next morning, All the kids woke up before sunrise and it was still dark. The other 4 kids also arrived on time. After that the man sent the kids outside and after a while three man came out with carrying a bag.

"Follow me." James said.

The kids complied and followed the kids through the capital. On the way they also saw another group of people from other academies too.

After 10 minutes' walk they reached their destination.

There were about 150 kids and other adults from the academy, but that was not the thing that shocked wand. What shocked him was the large ship in front of him. Although it looked just like a ship made to sail on water that Wand had seen in books.

But was immensely big!

Bigger than any other!

After a while, All the kids boarded he ship and were guided to their room by James.

As Wand felt slight rumbling he went outside and saw the ship slowly rise.

Wand's eyes were wide open enjoying the beauty of nature as the ship went above the clouds and Wand to see the clouds bathing in crimson light of the Sun!

After all the sun was just rising!
