Entering The City

Time flew, and soon enough, three days had passed.

At this time, the morning sun was just rising and the multi-colored light of sunrise was boundless; it was a dawn that bubbled with radiation.

From afar away, Rainbow Ember City appeared like a giant beast waking up. Every major company stood more than a thousand meters tall, unleashing and arrogantly flaunting their powers, emitting bright rainbows of radiance within their glass walls with the assistance of the sun's radiation.

Several large-scale floating airship dragged along a fiery tail, sluggishly advancing in the middle of the sky. The fiery tail interweaved with the blue sky and white clouds, becoming a net of essence. The delicate and exquisite private flying planes continuously needled through the clear soft skies, emitting beautiful sounding whistles.

This was precisely the experience of Rainbow Ember's city sun rise!

The scene was completely different from the village! It was completely shocking as one was like an ant compared to the several buildings within Rainbow Ember City.

It was around 6 in the morning but City was as busy as a market place. Like a dragon wide awake, the people walked, travel or jog to their various destination. In a single street, several thousands of people moved like a tide going to their respective work place to achieve their aim for the morning. The park alone was several thousand meters wide and the cars that passed by the roads were things that one couldn't pay to see in the village. It was a completely different scene.

Erian was bounced and bounced like a spring stored with great energy. With every step, he leaped over twenty meters. His speed was exceedingly fast. Although his stance looked quite weird and caused passersby to stare, he couldn't give a damn and continued to concentrate on moving as fast as he could. In only half an hour, he arrived at his destination.

A wide train station stood still like a pair of mountains facing each other. Waves of people walked through the lrafe entrance and into the train station

Erian finally slowed down his speed. Gazing at the enormous train station, he couldn't help but wonder just how the were able to build such tall structures that stretch to the skies like giants within this city.

He was in awe as he admired the enormous structure. Walking with the waves of people, he walked past the security stand after showing revealing his UID.

Train stretched out through the groan tracks like an enormous python, into the distance.

Seeing that he was only a few meters away from his destination, he followed the compass.

Finally, Erian had reached a large but seemingly old train which was parked at a desolate track. There were already hundreds of students almost at the same age as him already rushing into the train.

He didn't recognize any of the student's uniform though, meaning they had all come from a different places and not the village.

'I'm here at last.' Erian breathed out and the proceeded into the train. The seats were already filled up with students and there was only three to four seats available.

Erian didn't waste time and directly sat down on the available seat. Strangely enough, the atmosphere was completely tense.

While more than half of the students showed excitement on their faces, Erian spotted quite a few students with completely solemn. There was no excitement of going to a university in their eyes but pure caution, almost at the verge of terror.

Erian's brows involuntarily furrowed, but soon he smiled. He knew the risk in coming here and he was willing to take it. There was no use regretting things now.

"Choo! Choo!!"

Once the time clocked 7am, the train whistled loudly and without warning, it suddenly began to move.

The talking students immediately went quiet as a woman in her late twenties putting in a free shirt and trouser walked in from the depth of the train.

"Almost a thousand recruits this year, interesting." The woman's eyes flashed almost sinisterly as a weird smile appeared on her lips.

Her crimson eyes falling to a few seated students and she actually laughed while shaking her head. Those students immediately start to shift unconsciously in their seat.

'Did she find out?' They whispered nervously in their mind.

ignoring them the lady

"Call me BloodThorn, and I'm your envoy to the university. If this is your first time in this train or city, you can look through the glass window and admire the magnificent view because it might be your last. So sit back, relax and oh, put on your seat belts cause it will be a bumpy ride."

Flashing them a magnificent smile with hidden meaning. Turning around, she vanished from sight.

As soon as she left, the students immediately whispering to each other, discussing things about the university in hushed voices.

"Isn't that Vorton Page?" Erian heard someone exclaimed from behind him, attracting the attention of others.

"Vorton Page of PAGE Industry? The young Prince of wealth in Star Blaze city?"

"What's he doing here?" Another student explained in surprise.

Erian glanced at the young man in question. He was a few rows in front of him. But he was still able to make out the young man's disposition.

With a blonde hair that glows like a ball of flames, his face was cold and indifferent as he focused his gaze in the obing terrain.

"Uhn? What's Althea Whitaker also doing here?" Another whispered.

"Prince Silva Michaels! Valeria King!"

"What the hell are these people doing here?" Beside Erian, the chubby student seated beside him frowned, making his fat eyebrow wiggle.

Upon noticing Erian, he turned towards him and stretched out his hands.

"Aryan Numbers, nice to meet you."

Erian blinked his eyes and shook his hands. "Erian Falstone, nice to meet you too. So you recognise those people?"

Aryan nodded with a slight frown. "Yeah, they are from various rich families within the federations. They could choose which university to apply to or become a Titan Shifter entirely on their own, but they actually chose here that has high death rate, it's too weird."

Shaking his head he continued. "The ways of rich families continue to baffle me, who knows just what they are thinking."
