The next day eventually arrived and it was a weekend for all the students, just like how any normal academy on weekends there were no classes for both the first years and second years and were allowed to do as they pleased, however, there was still a curfew so everyone had to be back before ten and were not allowed to go past the academy premises, making all the first years' students happy.
However, for the first years students the reason for their excitement wasn't the fact there were no classes and were allowed to roam the whole academy without many restrictions, it was because of a single piece of news that was being spread from one first-year student to the other, no one knew how the student who spread the information heard it, but they were all excited because they would be going for their first exploration outing in space.
"Hey have you heard the rumor, we first years would be going for our first exploration outing In space? I heard a staff who was walking by a first-year student kept mumbling strange words, like a hundred stargates being destroyed and the exploration outing being just one week away was insane, although the guy who said he heard the staff was not present at the moment but from what he said he was pretty confident, that there was going to be an exploration outing. However, the teacher has not said anything, maybe he is lying?" one first-year student said as he look to the side.
"If it was a prank, am sure the dude would not dare to spread it around, except he wants some beatings. But then the teachers haven't made any announcement, maybe they will finally announce it next week when it is time for the exploration outing?" another first-year student thought out loud, as he wonder if the rumor was legit or not.
"I wonder if the guy heard anything else? like what type of place was the exploration outing would it be in space, a planet, or a wormhole? I would if the second years would come along with us first years as well, or they would be going on their own, if possible I would like if the academy can make it different places, I don't want to bump into another second year while taking a shit."
"Huh yes, I seemed to have also heard the reason why they haven't announced it yet was because everything hasn't been set up."A first years chime in."If it is the same place that both the exploration outing would be held, am sure the academy made different preparations for both students. Am sure if they want things to go smoothly, even if the exploration would be in the same place it would be an entirely different area."
"Hey, man do you have any idea where the exploration outing would be held? would it be in pure space, a planet, or a wormhole?"
"Come closer, I don't want anyone to hear what am about to say, I heard it was a planet called Sokoto not pure space like everyone is thinking. Guess what I heard on this planet, the time moves in reverse instead and is much longer. I heard on this planet, morning is night while the night is morning, in the night time the planet can be very hot as a desert so better pack up some sun cream and sunglasses, however, morning is the opposite since it is said to be very freezing, so I suggestion you stack up enough winter coats and warm fur to keep you warm."
When these first years students heard this, they became more excited although they could not go to the main space they were still excited considering this was their first exploration and the planet was even more interesting and bizarre, planet Sokoto, immediately became popular among the first years students, due to its geographical area that was basically reverse, and contains two climates, what was even more interesting was that the low-level beasts in this planet were also separated in two and takes shift.
It night circle which was sunny contained 36 hours cycle until morning instead of 12 hours compared to earth, while for the morning circle the day would become dark and freezing, it was a planet brilliant for those who were picky amount the weather, and those who were sunlight lovers, same went for the cold-blooded symbiote users who preferred freezing weather.
With no classes for the students, everyone took their time to enjoy the weekends and for the first time they were able to enjoy moving about the academy with no obstruction, and no second years standing in the way to bully them although it was a bit odd at first everyone quickly got used to it after all no one liked to be constantly bullied or beaten to pup just because they didn't wish to obey some stupid rules, so the first years were clearly happy and even threw a little celebration party.
While most of these first years were having the time of their lives, and exploring the academy a minority group of students instead were still in their dorms and had no idea it was weekend, these groups of students were none other than Bernard, Sophia, Emelia, and Ryan. After the incident with the second years, everyone took their time to mull over their actions.
It was the first memorable experience they had ever had since they becmae first years, that no matter how hard they tried to forget it the event kept playing in their heads, compared to Bernard and Ryan the girls had different thoughts. For Ryan it was what he had done and what Quzin told him to do in order to redeem himself.
However, he realized it was easier said than done, not only was he afraid he also couldn't muster the courage to leave his room and face both Bernard and the girls, although Quzin told him blaming himself was as good as useless he still couldn't help but blame himself, nor could he sleep as he kept seeing the huge faces of Bernard and the girls blaming him for what happened to them in his dream.
His eyes had become bloodshot from crying his eyes out all night long, even his bed wasn't spared from his all-nighter.
