Central Continent 2

"Whow! Is this the central plain?" Mikel Crosgo said with wide eyes. He was seated near the windows and was looking down at the outstretched land. It had taken them a day to cross over to the central continent.

The land below seemed to stretch out endlessly. Skyscrapers populated every inch of the land. Large forests and rivers could be seen all over the place. It was a sight to behold.

"Bzzt.... Bzzt.... Get ready kids, we will be landing at the station very soon... Bzzt"

Master Vacto's voice said through the speakers.

"Argh.... Finally. Sitting at one place is so tiring" Matyr sighed in exasperation.

"Wait. How is that tiring?" Lanvris said with a raised brow.

Matyr looked at him for a few seconds and turned away. She totally ignored him.

'Hmm?' Matyr's attention turned towards Lenin.

He had been staring out the window throughout this time. He had not said a word ever since they had entered the atmosphere of the central plain. Matyr was not necessarily worried for him, she was just curious. After all, Lenin had alot of secrets that would make him a target for anyone in this world. The only reason she could think of for him not being targeted by the higher ups may be because he had a very powerful backer.

Lenin's eyes looked lifeless as he stared out the window.

'What is this I am feeling? Ever since we arrived at the central plain, my senses have all been on high alert. It is almost like I have a divine will... But that's impossible right? It feels like the entire universe is trying to warn me"

Lenin's mind was racing as he tried to deduce what exactly was happening to him. He felt as if the central plain was a very dangerous part of his destiny. As he thought about this, his mother's words rung in his ears again.

'Is it possible that my mother knows something? I know my mother isn't exactly normal, but I do know she's a mortal. Could it be th-'

"Nin..... Lenin!" Matyr shouted.

Lenin's head snapped towards her.

"Huh? What? Is something happening?"

"Jeez... Is everything all right?" Matyr asked.

"Yeah. Of course. Why would it not be?"

"Because we have already landed. The other's have already started leaving the plane" Lanvris chipped in.

"Ah! That's why you guys are up. Sorry, I was a little distracted. Let's go" he quickly got up and begun to walk out.

Matyr and Mikel followed suit. Lanvris on the other hand, was staring at Lenin's back with a stoic expression. After a while, he shook his head and walked out.

...

Master Vacto stood infront of the plane. All the other students had gotten down from the plane and were discussing some issues amongst themselves.

"Okay okay... Quiet down! We are currently at the VIP station. The other schools will be arriving soon so let's get moving" he said.

"Master Vacto, the first years haven't gotten down yet" Lisa said.

"What?" Master Vacto asked.

"Those bastards! Do they not have any respect for their seniors? Why do we have to wait for them" Ward said. He was fuming in anger.

"Yeah. Especially their king and second ranker. They need to be taught a lesson" a red haired boy said. He was lean but had well toned muscles. He was the third ranker of the third years. As soon as he finished saying this, he felt a strong killing intent directed his way. He quickly jumped away from his position.

"What's wrong with you Nate? Are you finally going mad?" Lisa asked.

"Did you not feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"No-nothing" Nate said as he composed himself.

Master Vacto stared at Nate and then shifted his gaze to Betty.

'Haah... This girl is just.... Nevermind'

As the commotion was going on, the first year rankers came out of the plane.

"Tch. They're finally here" Lisa said quietly.

All the rankers turned and looked at the first years.

Matyr gently hit Lenin on the shoulders.

"See what you did?"

Lenin gave a quiet laugh while scratching the back of his neck.

"Alright. Since we are all here, we'll be going to our hotel now."

After he said this, Master Vacto spoke into a watch on his wrist.

Immediately after that, a large limousine type car appeared. It was hoovering above the ground.

"Let's get in."

....

The large car pulled infront of a gigantic hotel. It was decorated with large diamonds and had a wealthy vibe to it. Two guards stood infront of the hotel. The students filed out of the car.

"Your luggages will be brought to you so just go to your rooms. Each year group is on the same floor so don't worry about anything" Master Vacto said nonchalantly.

The students were unaffected by how glamorous the hotel was. Well, except Lenin and Mikel. When they walked into the hotel, their jaws almost dropped open.

The interior of the hotel was plated with gold. The floor was lined with diamonds. The hotel was circular and stretched so high up that the top floor could not be seen. The hotel was bustling with people. Every individual was dressed impeccably and had a certain aura around them.

Master Vacto led them towards the reception table. The receptionist was a woman. She had tied her hair into a bun and was wearing a black and white uniform.

Master Vacto spoke with her for a while. They seemed to know each other. They laughed and spoke informally to each other. After a while, Master Vacto turned towards the students.

"Okay... These are your room allocations. Oh! Tomorrow evening the usual banquet that takes place before the tournament will be held in the town hall. All the other youths will be the. Both students and wanderers." he paused for a while and narrowed his eyes.

"Do not disgrace us. What does the principal always tell you?"

"As long as your reason is valid any action is permitted. Wether you kill or injure anyone, do not worry. I will take care of the consequences" all the students said with vigor.

Master Vacto nodded his head and dismissed the students. The students dispersed themselves and went to search for their rooms.
