****/ Mysterious locations around Aetheris Academy:
"It's finished?" Asked the man wearing a black veil that covered his entire head to his feet.
In the space between the natural gaps, they hid in a small cave with many people standing parallel and orderly, wearing coverings from their heads to their entire bodies.
Finally, a man came, bringing about forty people who followed him, still wearing Academy uniforms.
The people who followed him, their eyes were flat, their faces were pale and they didn't even show any expression.
The man with cream hair was carrying a sword that was a little shorter than usual as he stepped towards someone who was sitting there.
Looking like their leader, Rucas knelt before him while rallying some of the new recruits they stole from the academy.
It was a dark room with a roof that had lots of bats hanging from it, and the only light came from torches on the side of the stone wall.
Until Rucas turned towards the leader, his eyes were full of hatred, but he was forced to do this, a few moments later, his face became accepting of all this.
"How much did you get?" A terrible deep voice came out of the leader, not showing his face in the slightest, only his voice.
Rucas hesitated to reveal the exact number until he was forced to speak after being unable to hide anything from the leader. "40 People." He said a little tensely.
"Did you get Wein and the student council president?" He asked seriously, it felt like a tense gaze behind the veil that covered half his face.
Rucas turned back to the ground, "No--" The leg launched a kick straight at Rucas' shoulder, sending him flying a little far from his previous position.
The leader stood up and walked with small steps towards Rucas, he looked angry this time with his aim of arresting Wein and the student council president.
"B... But I have a good idea, sir." His voice trembled as he spoke, he sat up while raising his arms to protect his body even though he still couldn't protect himself from the next blow.
The leader ignored the idea, he turned around and walked towards the chair he had been sitting in all this time.
Until a few seconds, he stopped again from his steps, which he had deliberately slowed down, as if while he was walking,g, he was thinking about what Rucas had said.
"What's that?" He asked, but he didn't look at Rucas, as if he wasn't sure about the person he had chosen.
"I have friends I can rely on!" He said he was full of ideas, Rucas was full of hope and his eyes were shining.
****/ Wein Grimveil POV :
"What's this?" I asked about an object that is small but is said to be able to deliver our voice to the user from a long distance.
"It is a sound artifact and micro microphone, the name is not clear because this object is still a prototype." said the Professor. His hair was messy and his face looked like he hadn't slept for days, truly depicting his scientist life.
The object that I hold in the palm of my hand is only the size of an adult's eyeball, even a little smaller.
"How do I use it?" Asked Alain who threw this object into the sky and caught it again with the palm of his hand.
The scientist's face was shocked when he saw Alain, who easily threw the object he had made; he looked like he wanted to take the object from Alain's hand.
Then he stepped back to take a breath and clear his mind while trying to explain to us how to use this little thing.
"Okay, this thing is placed in your ear; you only need to insert it into the ear canal; if you want to talk, you can press the button on the side to talk and hold it while talking, understand?" I didn't pay any more attention to the scientist's words and went straight through this thing because I was really curious about this very innovative new technology.
Like the instructions from the crazy-looking scientist, I entered the object into the ear canal. Even though not all parts entered the ear canal, there would be a part outside that was useful for pulling back from our ear and a button for talking.
There was a ringing sound when this object was in my ear until a sound like ants were talking and some rough movements then a familiar voice appeared. "A.... A... Aaaa.. Test.. Test." The sound is very loud here but I don't think it can be heard by anyone other than me or the person wearing this thing.
"This is amazing!" Tiffanie exclaimed suddenly. She didn't press the button, so her voice wouldn't be transmitted to this thing.
"Because I'm lazy and you already understand, I want to go first and wait for further instructions." The scientist, with a sleepy face and very lazy, left the room.
Would I have met him if I didn't enter the dungeon yesterday? Because I chose that scientist's class so I hope I can see his brilliant discoveries another day.
We are still busy with objects we have just discovered. The objects included in this electronics class are truly extraordinary, but he didn't explain whether they are durable.
The ringing sound that I first thought was the sound emitted by this loudspeaker, turned out to be from the loudspeakers located in each upper corner of the room to function as a notification.
After a few seconds, until finally, the sound came from the loudspeaker, we all listened carefully; unlike usual, when we heard the sound using this device, it turned out to be very clear, and we could even hear small sounds.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am the Head of Academy Claudia, and I would like to share your duties as the Aegis Council, first I will divide the areas, first there is the central area then there is the east, west, south, and north, I will divide several groups to patrol each area, first the center there's wine and Narisa, East Loraine and Tiffanie, West Alain and Kylo, South Teressa and Sherlyn, North Glen, and Janice, you will all be communicating at all times with that thing so patrols will start tomorrow night, thank you." That familiar voice enveloped the room until he finally finishedthe information.
"Can't we rest here tonight?" Tiffanie looked limp and would fall if she was blown by the wind.
"Where do you want to sleep Fan?" Asked Janice, who chuckled a little after hearing Tiffanie, who was out of control because she was so sleepy.
No one came out of this room, we all looked too tired and too lazy to walk out and go back to our rooms.
"I want to go back before the extra assignment." Glen stood up and stepped out of the room until he returned to his room.
A good start so that the others also followed suit. I stood up and walked away with several of those who followed me until we all left the room and left no one there.
"It's better not to be comfortable, right? so that our bodies can recover," Janice exclaimed which made us all agree.
Everyone agreed with that statement because it would be better to sleep using a soft mattress than having to sleep in a meeting room that didn't have equipment for sleeping.
We walked until when we arrived at the dormitory, we separated from the female students because our building was separated by gender, so I was left with several male students who walked up the stairs.
"I think it's better if we eat first before going to bed, right? So I can sleep early." Suddenly, an absurd idea emerged from Kylo, who looked hungry, but I also felt hungry, so I went back to the canteen again after a few minutes in the room.
"That's... not a bad idea." Answered Alain who couldn't speak because he was very hungry too.
