Chapter 3 - The Masked Man

We were walking in a murky tunnel where I saw many bugs crawling on the ceilings. Daphne got creeped out by the bugs, which is pretty understandable. We arrived at the door place where there were two individuals who seemed to be the guards of this place.

"Identify yourselves!" Said both of the guards in unison.

Rex held out his badge that he was so proud of in front of the guards. The guards seemed to recognize him and let us in. The doors opened and showed a mysterious man wearing a mask gazing at us.

"So, you have finally arrived Rex." Said masked man.

"Yes, I have brought the new set of rookies for training." Said Rex bowing down.

'Like you didn't just kidnap us.' I thought sarcastically. 'But that masked man must have a really high rank for Rex to be bowing down like that.'

"I want you to show the newbies around the base before sending them to Instructor Zero." Said masked individual leaving, I felt like he glanced at me before he left, but it may have been my imagination.

"Okay, lets show you people your rooms." Rex said, pushing us to another room. "Over there are the boy's dormitory and over there are the girls." Rex said, as he was pointing at two directions.

The girls went to explore their dormitories, while we, the guys also went to explore our dormitories. We saw multiple rooms, and I went to a room that didn't have a code whatsoever on it. The others did the same with the other rooms. When I entered the room, it looked plain, it only had a bed and a cabinet beside it. Well, it did have a lamp on the cabinet, does that count?

'At least the room is clean, I can always decorate it later.' I thought to myself studying the room for a bit, to see what would look good. 'Oh well let's just go back to Rex.' I thought, walking to Rex, to show us the more of the base.

Everyone else arrived and looked at Rex, waiting to see what he would say next.

"You guys ready to see Instructor Zero?" Rex said, he noticed our confused looks. "Oh, if you're wondering if I'm going to show you more of the base, the answer is no.," said Rex.

Rex snapped his fingers and a portal appeared right behind us. "Now off you go." Rex happily said, as we got sucked in the portal.

"YOU PIECE OF SH-" I never got to finish my sentence.

"Well, I wonder how they will do with Instructor Zero.," said Rex. "Ren Hemlock" Rex mumbled. "He looks pretty interesting."
