The journey was peaceful and there wasn't any unexpected attacks from the rapidly evolved beasts that flew in the skies.
But that might be because the ship was using the latest stealth technology that had been installed in it by the academy.
And why would David and the rest of the students know about this information, that was because the blue eyes middle aged man was simply too much of a talker.
He had been talking about the academy since they left the institute. At first, David and the rest of the students listened attentively to the man to squeeze out information from his mouth and also out of respect, but soon they got tired and really tired and now, they regretted asking questions from him.
And that was because he had been speaking for the past three days straight, without resting his mouth in the least.
David could feel an headache was beginning to from in his head. Even his wolf and his vampire wanted to struggle free from his control just so they could shut the man up themselves.
Even Chad the second year student who wanted to curry favour with the man by withstanding his long hours of talk was on his seat, sweating profusely, his face pale as he tried to endured more but he seem to be reaching his limit.
David shook his head in pity and massaged his head while reading the book on genetic modification the instructor had given to him before he left.
Behind him, the others were either meditating, sleeping or shutting off their ears as long as they could stop listening to the man.
David could also do the same but he knew that amongst the nonsense the man had been spouting, there are bits and pieces of useful information that came out from his mouth a few times.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Academy wasn't at all similar to the institute at all. From the information he had gathered through out the past only three days, he could tell that the students at the academy wasn't at all as tense as the students back at the institute.
Infact, although the competition there was slightly more tense, the students are a bit more friendly with either other. And under no circumstances must a students be killed within the academy.
Disputes could be settled through fight but then, you must take the life of your fellow student either by mistake or intentionally inside the academic and as for what happens outside the academy, it wasn't any of their concern as long as it wasn't other institute or academy that killed that particular student.
Even permanently crippling a student by mistake or intentionally results in a harsh punishment.
David took all that from the information he had pieced together so far. And also, they don't seem to follow the same method as the institute does.
For example, in the institute, to get stronger, you have to ingest a serum that mutates your body, filling holes in your genetic codes to make them stronger but the academy was using an entirely different method of strength.
They weren't at all cultivating their physical strength but instead, they seem to cultivate their brain.
David was perplexed and wished to ask more of this but he wasn't also the only one who had noticed this type of information, the others had asked and Vathar was particularly interested in this topic for some reason as David could notice he was more attentive during the topic.
But the blue eyed older man didn't provide a straight answer and just went over it or just cover it up with some other topic making the others frustrated.
David frowned as different ideas about the topic came or his mind such as telekinesis or something else but he decided not to jump into conclusions, it's not good to rush thing.
...
It had been exactly two weeks they had been in the ship and the students were getting really tired and feeling stifled with the air. And the fact that the ship was moving very fast and at impressive pace wasn't helping in the least. Even the blue eyed man had long since kept quiet and only some for some hours before he stopped.
It wasn't because he was tired though, he could see the exhausted faces of the students, so he didn't want to disturb them ton much
David felt a bit sick and exhausted. He took his book and then placed it in his library as he turned off his holographic image. He was about to stand up and move to stretch his body when he felt the ship was starting to slow. Which meant that they had either met with a dangerous beast and needed to maneuver which had happened a couple times or they had finally gotten to the academy.
David sat back down in comfortable seat and then waited. The Sky Cruiser suddenly jolted and then trembled as though settling down to the ground.
Finally, bright rays of sunlight penetrated inside as the hatch opened, letting fresh air entered into the ship. David stood up along with the other students, closing their eyes at the bright rays of light.
As they went outside, they breathed in the smell of fresh air while closing their eyes while to others, they only glanced at the ship and got out of it.
Since Freya and David were more familiar with each other, they both stood together as they breathe in the fresh air.
"The air here seem different." Freta frowned as she stated to David while sniffing her nose.
David also frowned as he had also noticed this same fact but didn't want to point it out. It want that the air wasn't comfortable, it's just a bit different from that of the institutes. In fact, David could feel his brain gradually being refreshed upon breathing deeply but then, his brows furrowed.
The atmosphere seem conducive and even advantageous long term, but he couldn't feel the bodily strength reliance he always felt while at the institute. But his strength didn't seem to decline which was a plus sigh, so it wasn't much of a disadvantage and In fact was very beneficial to the brain.
As David was thinking of this, his thoughts were interrupted as he caught sight of the academy he was going to stay at for a few months.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was absolutely stunning and was full of buildings and life. The structures were entirely different form the institute were every building looked different from each other.
This one was more standard and built in order. There were many tall buildings in the academy and David couldn't see the end of it as the building seem to be endless.
"This is where you will be staying for the next three months, so make sure to get familiar with the surroundings. Alright, enough Staring. Follow me, let's go in." The female Master interrupted their thoughts as she indifferently stated.
With that, she and the other masters turned to leave. The students immediately started walking behind them.
They then began to walk through academy and although it was crowded with students walking in and out of different building and roaming the street, they immediately gave way when they saw the masters walking.
In just a few minutes of walking, before their eyes, a large building stood proudly tall as though wanting to carry the sky with its single pointy head.
By the front of the tall building, there was a sign that said 'Student Registry.'
"Alright, this is the best we are allowed to help. Five of you go in for your registration, you will be assigned a place to stay, your registration number, a uniform and the earliest you can start to attend classes, as for now, we will take our leave."
They were all surprised and slightly confused. As they wanted to say something, the three Masters immediately flew off as though they had wings behind them, helping them fly.
The words that was about to escape their lips immediately got stuck as they watched the older people leave.
The four of them glanced at each other before they followed the fifth unit the registry. David guessed that it was a normal procedure to enter the students registry to go register himself. But still, doesn't that mean that they had been admitted as a normal student?
What about the special treatment they had been promised. David frowned but he had no choice, none of them had any choice but to obey.
Donating one drop of blood, and since he had a system already, he rejected the imprint and only collected a program that would enable him and his system access to the academy.
After the procedure had been completed, David carried a bag in his hands, and nothing else. But above his wrist was an holographic arrow, meant to guide him to where his room might be.
To say he wasn't excited to see their trading manual would be a lie. He and the rest of the group walked through the buildings and passed through countless streets as they began to find where the place would be like and from the surrounding buildings, it seem that the place was going to be good. They smiled at the thought.
