As I touched the door, It Automatically opened revealing me a room, which I could only explain as magical. The future is so advanced than what I thought it would be. The Four walls of the room are perfectly depicting Four sides of mother nature.
In front of me, I saw an ultra realistic sunset in a Beach, I could even see some waves washing over the floor. And to my right, There was a forest lake with a mountain sight. To my left I saw a small water path between towering trees that took a vibrance color. Ceiling of the room was depicting a clear blue sky. And As I looked behind where I came from, I saw the door closing up and disappearing, Revealing me a green grass field under the blue sky.
And finally the middle of the room was depicting a scenery of a flower field, And the big sofa in the room was perfectly blended with the flowery field.
I couldn't fathom that this was all done by an advanced projection technique, with the use of mana and illusion art installed on its small mana stone, Just like a relic. What was more mind rejuvenating was the fact that I can even hear the sounds of rustling wind, The sings of tiny birds and even the waves of ocean perfectly syncing with each sounds and creating a pleasing tone for my ears.
" Are you done admiring, First year? " As I was admiring the scenery created by an advanced projection technique, I heard a deep voice coming from the middle of the club room.
Only then did I caught the sight of seven cadets sitting on the big sofa, While sipping on teas.
" Ahem. I apologize. I was just mesmerized by the scenery. " I said after fixing my voice.
" My names is Avion Dragonheart. Pleased to make your acquaintance. " I said while introducing my self.
" Nice to meet you Avion, My names is Adolf Darwin. I am the club president. " The person who talked to me before spoke up while putting down the tea he was sipping and standing up.
From the red uniform he was wearing, I can say that he is a third year cadet. Although his voice was deep, He didn't had a muscular build. But that doesn't mean he was skinny either. He had blond hair and green eyes. And he is somewhere around 6.2 in height. Although he isn't as charming as me, He is almost there. ' Almost '.
" Alright, Now that we have all the club members, Let's start the meeting, Shall we? " He said while clapping his hand and every body sitting on the sofa nodded their heads in sync.
" Excuse me, Am I the only first year in this club. " I asked out of curiosity.
" For now, You are the only one. " Adolf said while gesturing me to sit on the sofa.
…
It has been five days since the club meeting. While in the meeting Adolf took a mana Oath from me to keep what's happening in the club inside the club. So I can never say anything about this club to others. Once you entered the academy you can never leave academy premises, Unless there's some emergency matter you must attend to. But The Verdant Activist Club Has special permission from the Academy headmaster to leave the academy in the weekends.
Of course there is no free pass for this, In return the Club president have to share fifty percent of the goods he finds while exploring. But more than anything, Why the headmaster gives permission for some cadets to go on dangerous explorations is because, Adolf Darwin and rest of the club members aren't just some run of a mill cadets, Specially Adolf. He is ranked second in the Third year Rankings and one of the most outstanding student of the academy. But he isn't the only reason why headmaster let some students roam free outside of academy. It was mostly because of The club adviser who is assigned to this club.
When the club operates outside of the academy, They uses code names and operates as a mercenary group. And the name Of the mercenary group is " NAMELESS ". As for my codename I chose " SEEKER ". And today is the start of my first club exploration mission.
Weekend is the best time to train because you have more free time than weekdays. But Real life Experience Beats training.
" You ready Seeker " Adolf asked me.
" I am Born ready, Vega. " I said to Adolf. It was his code name.
…
Saturday 13th August. The time is one past midnight. A group of eight people could be seen standing in front of the academy portal gates. They were all wearing Black robes and there faces were fully covered with white masks. It was as if they didn't had a face to begin with.
' Damn, I bet this masks are super expensive ' I thought to myself. The reason is this mask had the features of a one way mirror. If one looked from the outside they will only see the white shell, But from the inside it was transparent. I can see everything clear as day even in the night while wearing this mask. And surprisingly I don't feel like I am wearing a mask at all, It is so light.
Vega went to the security guard and showed him a token. As he saw it he quickly activated the Portal and allowed us entry to the portal. Our destination is the forest of East continent.
" Lets Go. " Vega said as he went inside the portal. Rest of the group followed him as I was the last one to step in.
I felt the familiar sensation of falling while stepping inside the portal, But it lasted only for a second as I was directly dropped in front of a green Forest with towering oak trees. It was about noon in the east continent as the Sun shone brightly upon us.
" This time, Our club adviser gave us an interesting location. Although it is too bad that he won't be coming with us in this exploration, Like always. " Vega said while tapping on his smart bracelet and sending us a map with a location pinpointed on it in red color to our smart bracelets.
" Ok guys, Yo got the location, Right? " Vega asked as every body nodded in sync.
" Then let's head in. " Vega said as he went in to the towering oak forest which for some reason gave me creeps.
…
It has been three hours since we entered the forest and we have been walking nonstop. We have yet to face any mana beasts. I am looking forward to my first hunt.
Suddenly Vega signaled us to stop as we all stopped on our tracks.
" Hey Seeker, How about you show us some of your skills. There are two G ranked Berserker Wild Boars in front of us. Are you up for the challenge. " Vega said while looking at my direction. Although I can't see his face now, I am definitely sure he is smiling behind that mask.
I casually nodded my head while stepping forward. I have fought wild boars in my previous life as Damian As well. Although the world has changed since then, So do I.
I summoned my Naginata and slowly walked near the two Berserker Wild Boars. While walking there, I made sure not to make any sound. But as I got near them, They sensed my presence and started screaming while running towards my direction.
" Come to Papa. " I said as I took a deep breath and gripped the Naginata in my hand while reinforcing it with Mana.
' Dash ' *Blur*.
