139 Entering the Labyrinth

----

As the grand doors to the next trials opened, a scene surprising to all took place. Instead of them entering the doors themselves, a suction force of great magnitude originating from the inside pulled all 300,000 participants inside. Unbeknownst to every single individual, the labyrinth's interior was actually located in another space.

While they were unable to see the academy staff located high above, the same couldn't be said about those peering down. The entire situation was present before their eyes. All of the youths were placed inside the labyrinth at random positions. There was no order or pattern to the way they entered. 

However, what remained true was the fact they all were divided into groups of 10. Surprisingly, those among Apollo's group were a few familiar faces. Of course, the term was used loosely as he didn't truly "know" them. They were simply part of his examination batch.
