Chapter 110 - Teleportation.
Think twice before you associate yourself with any member of that Royal family, as once you get involved in their royal struggle, there really is no going back "
Dante nodded thoughtfully as he carried on walking, seemingly lost in his own thoughts
...
Dante and Lennox had been walking down this path for a while now and as they did, started seeing more and more people
This continued until they finally saw a strange building.
In front of them was an exquisitely crafted marble hall covered with an giant domed roof.
in front of the hall was a set of giant wonderful writing,
\'Teleportation hall\'
these were the words written across the top of this marble hall.
As Dante and Lennox got closer and closer, they saw more and more people heading towards and entering this hall.
eventually Lennox couldn\'t restrain his curiosity and asked a passerby,
"Excuse me, but would you mind telling me the purpose of this building?"
The young man stopped and turned towards Lennox
"Well, its purpose is in its name, the teleportation hall." Said the young man.
"it\'s the hall that contains all the teleportation circles between The Hidden Dragon Academy and the capital city!"
"Teleportation circle?" Hearing this term, Dante couldn\'t help but ask,
"Yeah, a teleportation circle.
Due to the efforts of the Departments of Weapons and Arrays, the school has recently managed to set up some stable and affordable short distance teleportation arrays.
It\'s because of these teleportation arrays that travel between the capital city and the Hidden Dragon Academy is now easier than it has ever been before!
As a result of the developed means of travel, students no longer have to live in the academy anymore and can now live in the capital city "
Hearing this wonderful description of the teleportation array, Dante and Lennox could no longer restrain the urge to see this place for anylonger
After quickly thanking the young man for his explanation, they wasted no more time and headed inside of the hall.
As they entered into the massive hall, they were greeted with the sight of countless people swarming the insides of the hall.
if Dante had to compare to anything he would say that it reminded him of a busy train station from his past life.
looking around this busy scene, Dante actually managed to see some familiar faces.
They were all the members of the Kinsman Clan that Dante had came here with
Klent, Anne and the rest of the top 4.
The others also seemed to also notice Dantes arrival and quickly approached him.
"Yo Dante, how\'d your tests go?" asked Gawain in a casual tone
Dante just let out a slight smile as he replied
"They were excellent. Honestly, I don\'t think they could have gone any better."
Hearing his reply, Gawain wasn\'t even fazed and just let out a laugh
"Haha! I would expect nothing less from the top talent of our kinsman clan."
But as Gawain was saying all this, Dante looked around and noticed that a lot of the other kinsman clan members that came with them were actually missing.
"Don\'t tell me that it was only you guys managed to pass? What happened to the others?"
Hearing Dante\'s question, an ugly expression appeared on Gawains face before he sighed
"Unfortunately, the others just weren\'t talented enough. The standards of the Hidden Dragon Academy this year are really just too high. It\'s unlucky, but the others couldn\'t quite make the cut and we\'re eliminated"
Dante could only sigh at the bad luck of his fellow clan members.
Seeing the atmosphere had become quite negative, Dante quickly changed the topic.
"Well, let\'s head back to the inn. I\'m sure the rest of you also have some work to be doing.
Even if it\'s just determine the department you will join in The Hidden Dragon Academy, I\'m sure you won\'t want to do it here."
Dante\'s suggestion quickly received the nod of approval from the rest of the clansmen.
and so with the next course of action determined, they quickly headed off into one of the many teleportation circles.
...
Soon, all of Dante and the rest were squeezed over a teleportation circle that barely had enough space for them to stand.
the circle was composed from a strange pattern with numerous unintelligible words and erratic swirls sprawled throughout its whole design.
As soon as the group managed to get into a somewhat comfortable position, the man in charge of the teleportation circle started speaking to them.
"You guys ready?" asked the man
Dante and the others in the teleportation circle quickly turned towards each other, before giving the man a nod of approval
seeing that everyone was ready, the man smiled.
"Great! lets start."
as soon as the man said those words, a bright white light seemed to burst forth from the teleportation circle.
The light was so bright that it seemed to blind anyone who was unfortunate enough to be looking at it.
\'Fuck! He could\'ve at least give us a warning!\'
as all this was happening, he seemed to feel the air around him compress and then twist strangely.
Just as Dante was starting to adjust to this constant swirling and compression around him, he suddenly found himself in a completely different room.
Dante quickly checked everything was ok with himself before turning toward the others.
As he did so, he could see the others were just as stunned as him.
Some of the more unlucky individuals were kneeling over and holding their stomachs
....
The group was clearly still I recovering from the mystical transport method.
after a few minutes spent recovering, the group finally left the hall and entered into the Capital City
But unfortunately for Dante, and the rest of the group, their surprises waiting for them didn\'t end there
As they stepped outside the building, they were greeted with the horrifying sight of almost 30 fully armed Guards in a maroon coloured plate armour.
But despite all this it was actually the next words of the guards that shocked them the most.
suddenly a guard at the front stepped out towards them and called
"Welcome The Dragon Son of the Department of War!"
and with that, the other guards joined in as they roared
"Welcome The Dragon Son of the Department of War!"
as these soldiers roared their welcome, a bloody aura that could only be gained from countless days on the battlefield was released.
And even though it was accidental, the aura released by the soldiers was so intense that the crowd was stunned into silence.
