《Blood Evolution System 》Chapter 67: Boarding the train
Advertisement
Instructor Theodore's promise felt pretty assuring to Vincent as he was a powerful character covered in a fog of mystery in the eyes of Vincent.
"So, there is no reason for me to worry about my life, right?" Vincent asked with a somewhat calm expression.
The shift in his emotions seemed suspiciously unrealistic to the instructors as a normal human couldn't possibly calm down in an instant after hearing that their life is threatened. However, they didn't say anything as they believed that he adapts to different situations faster than humans as he was a demi-human.
"Yes, indeed!" Kayle responded. "Senior Theodore's words carry weight in the academy, and since he has promised you that no harm will come your way, you should be out of danger. Though we told you such stuff as it's good to be on guard against plausible threats."
Hearing her words, Vincent exhaled his tension with a deep breath of fresh air. It seems like they were just explaining to him about the extent of the danger posed by a certain group of people in the military academy.
"However, that doesn't mean that you should be carefree. As I mentioned before, they can't take action against you for any good reasons. But if you provide them with one or two of them, you won't even know what hit you before you lose your rights to be heavily nurtured by the academy right in front of your eyes, and at that time, even I won't stand by your side." Theodore said in an unhurried tone as he looked at Vincent with a calm expression on his face.
Vincent understood the meaning behind the instructor's words. He meant to say that Vincent will be responsible for Vincent's irresponsible actions and wrongdoings. At that time, whatever happens, will happen because Vincent deserves it, and so Theodore and the instructor supporting Vincent won't interfere at all.
Vincent's eyes narrowed into thin slits and he said, "I am not a fool. I will never give them a chance to take action against me."
"Good! That's what I wanted to hear." Theodore placed a handbook on the table. "The rules that must be followed are recorded inside of this book. The most important one is that you must complete at least a mission around your level once every month. If you fail to do so, I believe you already know what will happen. That's why I advise you to not be tardy and work hard!"
"I know." Vincent picked up the book and stored it in his spatial devices, and he continued "Is there anything else I should know about?"

In response, Theodore said, "I still have two important matters to discuss with you. The first is about the benefits you'll be receiving. The second is related to the special exams that will most likely take place after a few months."
"I am all ears," Vincent said as he wanted to hear the details of both the topics mentioned by the instructor.
However, before he could explain the topics in detail, Kayle suddenly slammed her small and slender palm on the table and hurriedly stood up with a flustered expression on her angelic face.
"We nearly forgot! Senior! The entrance ceremony will begin soon. We'll be late if we miss the next train to New Hope City." Kayle said after she glanced at the heart-shaped watched on her petite wrist.
"Well, you heard her. Let's talk about it after riding the train!" Theodore said as he looked at Vincent.
"Am fine with that," Vincent replied. "Let's take the elevator to the uppermost floor right away," he added as he then turned around to walk towards the room's exit.
"Wait! We don't need to follow rules and common sense, Vincent." Kayle said, stopping Vincent from taking another useless step.
Everyone inside the Tower of Cloud must follow some rules. One of the basic ones restricts the use of teleportation ability inside the tower.
However, someone with a high status like Theodore didn't need to follow such rules and he could teleport anywhere as long as his power could take him there.
"Eh, what do you mean?" Vincent asked as he didn't know that Theodore could also use the teleportation ability.
"It will be a waste of time to take an elevator up to the uppermost floor. So I teleport the three of us directly to the entrance to the world's connecting space. Before I continue, I need your consent for teleporting with me." Theodore extended his hands towards the talented young boy. "My ability is kinda special as it provides me with a lot of benefits but also restricts me. I am bound to certain rules that I can't easily break. Two such rules are imposed on my teleportation abilities. It requires me to obtain consent. Also, I need to be in touch with others. Without fulfilling these two requirements, I can't teleport you using my ability."
Vincent kinda understood what he was saying, and although he was surprised to know that the instructor in front of him possesses more than one ability, he wasn't too shocked, as he had labeled Theodore as a mysterious and powerful person after the initial conversation.

"Hmm, I understand." Vincent asked, "How do I give my consent?"
"Just say you agree after placing your hand on his," Kayle explained. She has already consented to his request in the past, so she knew how his ability works. Furthermore, she didn't need to give her consent once again as Theodore's teleportation ability requires a person's consent only one time.
After a moment, Vincent said, "I agree."
After gaining his consent to teleport with him, as well as holding hands with both Kayle and Vincent, Theodore said, "We're setting off now."
The very next second, the instructors and Vincent were instantaneously teleported near the closed entrance of the world's connecting space as Theodore had activated his teleportation ability through channeling magic power into his teleportation ability cells.
As he was in a familiar place, Vincent reflexively looked around with a scrutinizing gaze. He noticed that they were at the top of a flight of stairs and standing right before the closed entrance of the world's connecting space.
"The tower of cloud harnesses energy from the spatial rift that is also the entrance to the world's connecting space. The entrance to the world's connecting space automatically closes when it is not being used. To open the rift in space once again, a person needs to provide high-grade energy to the portal generating device such as mana." Kayle explained as she looked at Vincent in the same way a teacher would like at one of the most talented students.
"Hmm... I see." Vincent inclined his head to the side to look at the device instructor Kayle just mentioned with hints of interest flickering in his eyes.
The portal generating device was nearby them, and it looked no different than a normal teleporter. However, a normal teleportation device is limited in terms of distance as it could only teleport a person from one teleporter to another located in the same world, while this portal will open the entrance to the world's connecting space. In simpler words, they will be teleported to a different world.
"So beautiful." As he coincidentally looked out the window, Vincent felt amazed at the clear and wonderful view of the Cloud Tower City.
While he was marveling at the view outside of the tower, Kayle inserted a shiny blue crystal into the energy-consuming slot connected with the portal generating device.
‹ The entrance to the world's connecting space will open in a few second ›
‹ Please stand by and wait for the entrance to open ›
A few moments later, the spatial rift that can be used to travel between the world's connecting space and Earth opened.
"Let's go."
They walked in and immediately appeared out of the other side as the entrance to the world's connecting space allows a more instantaneous transit between the two sides.
‹ Welcome to the Avalon Half-Moon Heaven's Central train station ›
They were teleported to the central station—a train station that connects to various cities established in the world's connecting space connecting planet Earth with the world of Lorena and vice versa.
Vincent was immediately met by a mesmerizing sight, a sight so amazing that he could no longer forget it as it was engraved in his mind to become an eternal part of his memory. Dozens if not hundreds of trains could be seen levitating, each heading to their predestined destination.
"The air here is so refreshing!" Vincent said after he deeply breathed in the air that refreshed him to his very core.
"Refreshing, isn't it? The magic power present in the environment of this entire world is 20 to 50 percent less impure than the magic power on Earth!" Theodore explained as he saw Vincent smiling and acting like a curious kid.
"So that's why I feel refresh every time I take a breath. Sadly, this feeling will only last for a while. It will vanish once my body adapts to this world's environment." Vincent relish each refreshing breath as soon he won't be able to.
"I will go and purchase some tickets." Kayle walked up to the counter and purchased three tickets from the intelligent service droid.
After a moment, she returned and handed a ticket to each of them.
"From here, we will use a levitating train that will bring us to New Hope City. By using this method, we will arrive there in less than an hour then we will get off at the station nearest to the military academy."
"Basically, we will reach there before the entrance ceremony ends!"
As soon as Kayle said those words, the train they were supposed to ride arrived at the platform.
"Well then, let's get on the train!"
As they were standing near the edge of the platform, Vincent and the instructors boarded the train after a few seconds.
