**Adam Walker's POV**
"Aloha cadets, I'm the president of the adventure club and today our destination is the city of El Dorado", he exclaimed.
"My name is Luke Wellington, a third year and as I said before, the charismatic president of the adventure club", he winked.
'So he's part of the Wellington family huh, Well he sure is spirited' I thought.
"He's Ashley's cousin" Owen whispered to me.
"I welcome our new members and hope they have a good time on their first adventure", he said.
"We have exactly one hundred and five members including the new members, once we arrive in the city of El Dorado, we'll split into groups of five each, so there'll be twenty one groups", he explained.
"The members in each group will be completely random, it will be sought out by the club's system and sent to your code" he said.
"Now let's go adventure awaits", he said.
"Seriously what is this, a kids show?" Owen said.
"Maybe he still has childhood fantasies", I shrugged.

'what the hell, how can you tell me this is random'. I thought. To understand what I meant, let me take you back to a few minutes ago.
We appeared in what could be called a city covered in gold. The portal station was at a somewhat high ground, so we could see the city from a higher point. Literally every single thing was covered in gold. From the buildings to the side ways, almost everyone we laid eyes on was wearing gold.
Soon the cadets burst into chatter.
-" wow, everything is glowing" said a guy.
-" gold doesn't glow idiot, it shines" said another.
"Damn, this city should change it's name to gold city" Owen said to me but I was cut off before I could reply.
"Everyone this is El Dorado city, also known as the richest city in the human federation", said the president.
"Ha just in time", he said looking at his smartwatch.
"And with a tap on his smartwatch, a prompt was sent to our smartwatches.
It read,
'Group 15
*Aurora De Silva
*Owen Hargreaves
*Adam Walker
*Patrick Smith
*Quinn Darkheart'.
Now you see why I said how the hell is this random, I am sandwiched between scions of the great families, hell even this Patrick guy was from a mid sized clan.
"Wow dude we're in the same group" Owen exclaimed.
"Everyone, find your group and make sure you're back to this location by 8pm", Said the president.
"Let's meet up with our group", I said to Owen.
"Yeah, let's go to Aurora, she's like a beacon that'll draw our teammates, even though most of us know each other, I don't know that Patrick guy", he said.
And with that we went to Aurora, "hey Aurora, nice to know we're in the same team" Owen said.
"Likewise", she said before she turned and met my eyes, I nodded at her which she reciprocated.
After we didn't speak again except for Owen who was speaking like a tap with no cap.
Soon our other teammates arrived, the first one was Quinn, the guy had a quiet presence like that of an assassin but we still pretty much sensed him coming, though he ignored us all.
The Patrick guy, was what one would call a noble and he also acts like one, his first words were "Greetings lady Aurora, young master Owen and young master Quinn, it's an honour to be in the same group with you".
'he didn't even look at me the whole time,guess that's what a humble background gets ya', I thought.
Soon we were walking the streets of the city, our group was relatively silent as the only one who kept talking was Owen.
" We were near a park when Aurora who was at the lead turned to us and emotionlessly said "I have somewhere to go, let's all meet back at this park by 6pm", she said and instantly disappeared without even giving us a chance to protest, well not that we could do it in the first place.
"Talk about unfeeling" Owen muttered.
"Well I guess it's us four now", I said but before I could finish the Quinn guy was already walking away.
"Hey Quinn, what the hell?, why are you also leaving?", Owen shouted but Quinn ignored him.
"Please excuse me young master Owen", said the Patrick guy before he also walked away.
"Guess we're on our own now", Owen said this time also ignoring patrick.
"Which means am free to act however I want", he continued.
"What do you mean free to act however you want", I asked.
"It means I don't have to act stoic or high and mighty like a noble" he replied. "I don't know how they force themselves to act like that all the time", he said.
"Hate to break it to you but you didn't act like a noble or all high and mighty, you've been acting just like yourself", I said.
"Just like myself how?", he asked.
"Like blabbing nonsense, never shutting up and exclaiming in a loud voice", I shrugged.
"So I've been carefree the whole time?, and you didn't tell me?", he grumbled.
"You didn't tell me you were suppose to act high and mighty, besides no one seemed to really care about how you act, if you ignore the Patrick guy sneaking glances at you that is", I said.
"So where do we start from?", I asked. "Start what?", he said. "Exploring the city", I answered.
"How about we start with a good restaurant, I haven't eaten anything this morning, come on let's go, breakfast's on me" he said.
"Good if you're the one paying", I said. "Stingy bastard", he scoffed.
"What?, you're the one who said you'll pay, not like I asked you to", I said.
"Well let's get going, we are coming back here in about nine hours, so we'll have plenty of time to do whatever we want", he said.
"Correction, whatever you want, cause there's nothing I want do to apart from explore and knowing you, there's no way I'll be doing what you want", I said.
"Fine what I want, let's get going I'm really hungry", he said holding his stomach.
And with that we started asking for some of the best restaurants around.
