Secret facility - I

As the convoy arrived outside the dome-like structure, it seemed like they were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dense forest. The dome's size was quite impressive, resembling a two-story building. The students couldn't help but feel a sense of isolation in this unfamiliar territory.

Once the door of the dome opened, they entered and were taken aback by the vastness of the interior. It was much larger than they had anticipated, and the fact that it was entirely underground added to the intrigue. The place seemed like a hidden sanctuary, shielded from the outside world.

The convoy continued its journey within the dome, traveling approximately one kilometer, until they reached a specific location. Here, several military personnel were guarding the area, forming a protective barrier around an individual who appeared to hold a position of authority.

It was evident that this person was in charge of the facility. He exuded an air of importance and seemed to have a strong presence.

When they finally stopped, all the students were asked to disembark and stand in line according to their schools.

Jonathan, their mentor, approached the person who seemed to hold a high position in the military. Xavier could see the seriousness in their expressions, and he suspected that they were discussing the earlier incident with the devil worshippers.

The conversation seemed intense, and Xavier could see the reflection of anger on the person's face.

After their discussion, Jonathan gestured to his military personnel, and they departed, leaving only the students, the person in charge, and his military personnel behind. It felt like the students were now in the hands of this mysterious figure, and Xavier couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and nervousness about what was to come.

The person stepped forward, his stern gaze scanning the crowd of students. He appeared to be in his late forties, with a commanding presence that demanded respect. Xavier wondered what position of authority he held within the military.

"Welcome, students," he began, his voice firm and authoritative. "I am General Harrison, and I am in charge of this facility. You have been chosen as the new awakeners, and it is my responsibility to guide and train you in the days to come."

"We are located in a remote area to ensure the safety and confidentiality of this facility," General Harrison continued. "Here, you will undergo rigorous training to enhance your abilities and prepare you for the tasks ahead. This is a place where you will be pushed to your limits, both physically and mentally."

"I want all of you to understand the gravity of the situation," Harrison said sternly. "City M had 83 awakeners before the incident, but now, only 63 remain. This should serve as a wake-up call for each one of you."

The students listened attentively, realizing the importance of becoming stronger after narrowly escaping a harrowing encounter.

"In this world, strength is paramount," Harrison continued. "Only by honing your abilities and showing unwavering resolve can you protect yourselves and those you hold dear."

"You have a pivotal role in our world's future," he said firmly. "Your strength, unity, and the bonds you form will be the beacon that guides us through the darkness. Embrace the challenges, learn from your experiences, and become the heroes we need."
