Going through a teleporter was something strange, at least, for Kye. It wasn't like the one he took when he was on the bus. No, this teleporter was far different. freewebn ovel.c om
It was as if his body was decomposing in itself and recomposing immediately after. It was strange and he didn't feel any pain. But he was feeling quite dizzy once he came to the other side, that is to say, to the academy city.
The academy was attached to a special city where only those from the military could live. Like this, they would have a home and they would be able to do other work that wasn't related to fighting, like helping in the city hospital or a convenience store for example.
The war was traumatizing for a lot of people, so many of them just stopped and wanted to have a normal life where they didn't need to put their lives on the line. f reeweb novel.com
But before he could admire the futuristic city a little more, Kye needed to catch up with his group. They had already walked a lot when he was daydreaming.
Once he caught up with them, he finally saw the giant academy that was a little further away. It was so grand and magnificent that he almost stopped again. Alas, Yugo was there this time.
"Kye, be careful, there are people who are walking," He said as he took his arm to not lose him. He looked like a child that was lost, so to not really lose him somewhere, he needed to stay like this.
"Ye-yes, you're right," He answered and began to walk again. "But do we really need to stay like this?"
"Oh? Are you shy?" Yugo asked with a smug smile, as Kye began to blush a little from his ears. His teasing was too much sometimes. "Haha, okay okay, I stop," He laughed. "But yes, it would be annoying if we were to search for you after."
"I'm sorry," Kye answered as he looked down and continue to be dragged by Yugo.
Hearing him, Yugo understood that what he said was like a high-level that was complaining. And he knew that Kye didn't have the best experience with those people.
"I'm sorry, Kye. I didn't mean it like this," He let go of his arm. "I just didn't want you to be lost and have problems with high-level people," Kye didn't say anything and just decided to walk. It was also a reminder for him to stay at his place and not to have high hopes just because of someone's behavior or words.
They then continued to walk. The teleporter was at the very end of the city, so they needed to walk for quite a while. And after Yugo's remark, Kye didn't talk anymore. As for Yugo, he was searching for something to make for his error from earlier but didn't find anything. And in the end, they just walked until they had reached the academy.
"You four, listen carefully because I won't repeat myself," The military man that had guided them here and didn't utter a single word during all the walk from the teleporter finally said. "School will begin tomorrow, so you can do whatever you want in the academy or the city until 9 pm, which is the curfew. Is that clear?" He asked as everyone said yes. "Good, check your watch to see the internal procedure of the academy and the number of your room. And you can't change rooms either, so be good with your roommates. Now you can go," He said as he began to walk toward the teleporter.
The group was then left alone, and Kathia was the first to go. She didn't want to stay with the group, so she went to the girl dormitory. Ambry too, since he wasn't welcome with Yugo decided to go to his room. He needed to find people that were around his level to beat those who were under them.
So only Kye and Yugo were left in front of the academy's entrance door. They didn't say a word to each other, and in the end, Kye just began to walk ahead to go to his dorm room. He wanted to say something, but was he really his friend? Or was he just under the illusion that he was his friend? He didn't know, so he just decided to take the easy road, that is to say, just doing nothing.
Like this, their friendship wouldn't evolve and he won't have needless hope. Though, it would have been the case if both of them were doing this.
"Kye, wait," Yugo said to stop Kye. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier, it wasn't appropriate."
"Oh no, please don't be," Kye answered immediately while waving his hands to show that it was nothing. "You didn't do anything. On the contrary, it was normal for you to say this. You just did that for my well-being, so please don't be sorry."
"Then, did we make up?" Yugo asked. He knew that Kye only said that because he was shy and didn't want to have any problems, so he just decided to play d*mb and go with the mood.
"We never fight though,"
"Yay," He put his arm around Kye's shoulder. "So which one is your room?"
"Let me check," Kye searched with his watch, and after a moment, he find it. "It's the number 119, how about you?"
"Oh, mine is 119 too. That means that we're in the same one." He smiled brightly. "I'm so happy, really," They then began to go toward the boys' dorm.
"Do you think it would only be us?" Kye asked.
"No, it would probably be three. There are too many kids, so it would be easier to fit everyone like this."
"Then I hope we won't be with Ambry. Our lives will be hard otherwise."
"Yeah, that's true," Yugo said. "I hate those who think too highly of themselves. So I pray for god to have another kind roommate, like you," He complimented him, but Yugo just stared at something in mid-air. "Does something happen? Why are you staring blankly like that?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought of something useless," He said quickly to not show anything. "Anyway, we're here, room 119."
"Oh yeah, you're right," Yugo then opened the door after having scanned his watch on the door's lock.
He entered first, and Kye was behind him, looking at his back; He remembered the message of the system.
[Someone is praying by your side. His likability towards you increases.]
When he saw that out of nowhere, he was quite shocked. He didn't expect that his system could affect people around him like that. But when he thought a little more about it, he understood that the 'holy' properties of the system must have played a role in that.
Though, there was still one problem. In the far future, if the sympathy would go too high, does that means that that person would follow him blindly? He hoped for a no from the bottom of his heart because it would be sad otherwise.
Kye didn't want mindless zombies, but friends, with consciousness and emotions.
"Kye, why are you standing there?" Yugo pulled him back to reality.
"Oh sorry, I was thinking of how good it was to be in the same room."
As Yugo had said earlier, the room was for three people. And since Ambry went before them and wasn't here, it means that he wasn't their third roommate.
The room was rectangular shaped and had enough space to accommodate three one-person beds, three desks, and three closets. There was also a bathroom that was attached to the rooms, for easiest access.
Since Yugo entered the room first, he was the first to pick up his bed. It was the one on the left. And since he wanted Kye to have the one by his side, the latter chose the one in the middle. That means that their other roommates will have the one on the right.
They then put their few belongings, and since it was only 7 pm, they decided to go and visit the city. They wouldn't have stayed in their room anyway, and since the academy wasn't available for now, they only had the city to visit.
So they headed towards the door. And once they opened it, they saw someone standing in front of it who was about to scan his watch to the door's lock.
This boy was smaller than Yugo but still taller than Kye. He was 169 centimeters and had white hair and gray eyes.
"Hi there," The boy said, "I'm Ven Tigo, but just call me Ven, and nice to meet you guys," Ven smiled brightly and then saw the numbers on Kye's and Yugo's watches.
