Plight of the Human race
Alex, Mira, along with all the other students outside the training arena all made their way over to the same clearing they were all familiar with by now.
Normally, students only went there four times over their entire time at the university. Once each year for the opening ceremony.
So it was very unusual and a bad omen that the freshmen had been there three times and they hadn't even finished their first year yet.
When they arrived, there were already millions of students standing, waiting for the Principal to show up on the stage.
Alex felt a sense of Deja vu coming to this place.
It was almost the exact same scenario as 6 months ago when Zorath first declared war on the human race.
Only this situation was much more serious.
The previous meeting was about preparing the human race for war.
But this one was about defending themselves from an impending, existential threat that had already killed billions of their own people.
