The car that Ryker was in had suddenly stopped in what looked like a really large warehouse, the driver had opened the door and Ryker stepped out.
Ryker was curious and wondered why he was sent here of all places, but the man and mentioned for Ryker to come forward and together the man and Ryker went inside through the large door.
The I side kf the large warehouse was white and the first thing Ryker noticed there was the large number of kids.
Ryker could confidently say that there were over 900 teenagers inside the warehouse, and the question of why was still on his mind.
"Listen up everyone, I am commander Varun", a large man with a booming voice shouted from the top of an elevated platform at the far front of the warehouse and there looked to be thirty other men and women with him.
"You all have been brought here to help us and also yourselves...." commander Varun pursed and looked around to let his words sink into the head of the silent teens.
"In order to help you all live a better life you all have to take a bit of risk, you see we all are to divided into groups of ten and seeing that there are exactly one thousand of us you all will be split into groups of one hundred", the man with the large booming voice said.
At this point the teenagers started murmuring among themselves, as there were curious about thr reason why such a thing would need to occur.
"Hey, what do you think these people want from us"
"Yeah, and where are we even heading to"
"Why do they need so much of us"
"Are we heading into a war"
"You might be right, w-we might be cannon fodder against the Oceros"
At this point the murmuring had greatly increased and the teenagers were starting to panic a bit.
"SILENCE", commander Varun who spoke earlier further amplified his voice and Ryker was sure that the sound of his voice could be felt even from beyond the walls of the warehouse.
"As I have earlier stated before you all will be with us in our journey, weather you like it or not". The man with the loud booming voice announced
The teenagers were founding it harder and harder not not complain, but even then none of them did anything irrationally.
"Many of might have never learnt how to use a weapon before, but at this point in time none of that matters now.
You all will be handed weapons and since you don't get to pick what you want it will all be random, but it will all be to attack", commander Varun said and soon this who were by his side entered into a room and each one of them came out with large black sacks that was filled with weapons of different kinds.
Ryker was handed a sword that looked it it had been forged with the bone of a beast, it had a red hilt, that almost looked like it was on fire with with a pitch black pommel, the blade looked incredibly sharp and just by looking at it.
"The weapon in your possession is a beginner tier weapon, each and every single weapons in your possession has been forged with the bones and magical cores of beasts", commander Varun said as if to boost the spirits of the teenagers.
Ryker knew that this weapons although were the lowest in terms of ranking, were difficult for even some F ranked hunters and even mages to acquire, but it did make him wonder though; how was a few group of people able to aquire one thousand beginner tier weapons.
The people who were with the man had also readied their weapons with nearly all of them with bag packs, and eve. as they stood the weapons they held emmited powers and it seems they wanted to make sure that any plans the students had in mind about escaping left them.
Ten magic circle was drawn on the floor after about ten minutes with many of those behind commander Varun working hard and soon the had placed crystals on the center of the circles, and some students even fell over due to the power radiating from these crystals.
'I don't get these people, how are they able to freely use of so much resources like that. I thought only the Mage association and the Hunter association and other top guilds were able to acquire this many resources.... just what have we all gotten ourselves into', Ryker kept pondering on the situation but as it was there was nothing he or any of thr students could do about it.
Soon the first one hundred students were led inside the and one by one the entered inside the portal with five of the adults with commander Varun following behind them, and the same thing happened for the next one hundred students in thr next magic circle.
Ryker was able to notice that the crystals used to power the magic circles had turned to nothing bit ashes after transporting everyone.
Finally it was his turn he was among the last one hundred people to walk through the portal, and what worried him and made him feel the most uncomfortable was that he could see commander Varun behind them.
Before him and the other ninety nine teenagers entered the portal they were handed furry coats, and it made them wonder if there were truly going to a cold environment.
Ryker was among the last to enter through the portal and as soon as he stepped through, he could feel a feeling he couldn't quite describe and the panic was causing him to move his hands and legs in the air rapidly as he could feel himslef moving at an extremely high speed.
'Just what is going on, I my life going to end right here and now. I didn't even get to see the kids again', Ryker was hating thr feeling he was experiencing at that moment but there was really nothing he could do.
Ryker found himself on the floor, but it wasn't the dry floor he was used to the area was cold with snow amd ice all around he struggled to get his balance.
"Everyone, get ready.... we move now", commander Varun shouted.
