Mr. X then took a moment of silence to let the group take everything in. After that, he continued. "As you were told also, you are going to be living within the academy grounds from day one. We have built all the facilities that would make your stay enjoyable and hopefully long-lasting. However, we are going to confiscate all your electronics including phones, laptops, tablets, earphones, and other things. Be at ease though since we are going to give you devices to replace them."
Arthur lifted his hand when Mr. X finished speaking. The man looked at him before he said. "Do you have a question, Mr. Arthur?"
"Yes. Are we not allowed to contact the outside world when we're there?"
"..." Mr. X squinted his eyes for a moment. "The short answer to that is: yes. You are not allowed to contact the outside world as long as you're on the island."
