The party hall's elegant design was accentuated by the radiant lighting that filled the space.Ansel's eyes scanned the room, and it dawned on him why Mira had made an effort to look so stunning.The hall was filled with elegantly dressed guests, leaving him feeling like the only one who didn't get the memo.Mira was so excited. She had hopes of making new loyal friends this time and so she was on the lookout.Unfortunately, everyone seemed to be paired up in groups, leaving Mira as the only one without a new friend.The principal stepped up to the microphone, a warm smile spreading across his face as he surveyed the room filled with students. Chatter and laughter died down as he cleared his throat, preparing to deliver his welcome speech to officially kick off the orientation party.After delivering the speech,a round of applause echoed in the huge hall and soon the main party started."Brother Ansel, can we go play some card games with them?" Mira asked with a pout, she didn't like
Ansel lent a hand to Mira the following day, assisting her in unpacking and settling into her new apartment from start to finish.Since it was a public holiday, he didn't have to go to work.Ansel decided to attend the meeting that was for MPK members.They had announced it in their group chats and Ansel knew he had to attend.The building was a tranquil and refined structure, with the MPK logo prominently displayed in bold letters at the top.Security was tight, and Ansel had to show his membership card to gain entry into the building, as the organization maintained strict access control.After getting past the security, Ansel managed to find the right room.Inside the white room, a young man and woman were intensely engaged in a martial arts sparring match.Ansel pulled out his phone and opened the messaging app.He scrolled down to check the group announcement.It was said that all new members of the MPK should get to know each other and get to participate in the fighting competiti
"Mind if I join you?" Audrey asked, his bright smile showcasing his charming dimples as he gazed at Ansel with warm enthusiasm.Ansel nodded his head in approval and Audrey took his seat."I don't think you're familiar with how things work around here. Would you like me to explain?" When Ansel heard Audrey's words, he wondered why he was being so nice to him.The other members of the MPK were engaged in intense battles, showcasing their remarkable abilities and techniques while others stood nearby, oblivious to the commotion, chatting and laughing with each other."Who is he?" Ansel asked with raised brow as he stared at Kael.Ansel had not seen Kael’s wristband because he never really paid attention to it. He wondered why Kael was behaving so arrogant."Oh Kael? He is one out of the three level D members." Audrey explained.He then went on to tell Ansel about how there were three level D members in the room.Kael, Audrey and Ami were the only level D members in the newbie group and
"Back off, Kael! Stop stickin' your nose in other people's affairs!" Audrey stood up for Ansel.Given Kael's aggressive behavior, Audrey didn't want Ansel to become a vulnerable target, so he stepped in to protect him.There was something unique about Ansel that drew Audrey in, and he had come to regard Ansel as a new friend, someone worth looking out for."Don't be a dickhead! I am sure Ansel has a mouth of his own." Kael's face contorted in a snarl, his eyes flashed with anger as he spat the words at Audrey. Even though the two had never fought, Kael was confident that he was the strongest man in the room."Kael, is that what you are called? Tsk tsk, tqhat's such a pretty name for a rough looking man." Ansel's eyes narrowed slightly, a subtle smirk playing on his lips as he stretched his hands out in a mocking gesture.Kael's face reddened as he strode towards Ansel, his eyes blazing with fury. He halted in front of him, chest heaving with aggression.Audrey stood beside Ansel, his
"Silence everyone!" The woman commanded with authority.Audrey, who was excited about being in the same group with Ansel, suddenly kept quiet.They all wanted to know what the woman had to say next."To test your strength and power, you will be allowed to enter a special portal for five minutes. It's a different world from ours. There are several magical creatures and beasts. I am sure most people do not know that a world like this existed. But the government had recently discovered a different world. It's too risky to get there with rockets and spaceships and so a new technology was developed. We will get to go through portals." The woman paused a little and then continued." There is only one portal and that is why only a group of four people can go in at once. Everything that happens in the world is real. If you die in the world then you will die in this world. There are several magical creatures that you would never think about. It's a scary discovery but the creatures are plannin
"Vinny, If the creatures are as dangerous as you say then I think we should gear up with some weapons, just in case they turn hostile.”Ansel suggested cautiously. “I don't want us to be caught off guard if they decide to attack….We should be prepared for anything, especially if we're going to be dealing with beings that are completely foreign to us."Everyone thought that they heard him wrong.Did Ansel just call Vinny by his name?They all stared at Vinny to see what he would do next.Vinny hated when people younger than him addressed him with no respect.The room went silent and they all held their breaths as they waited for what would happen next.“Yes, Ansel, you're absolutely right! The government has also equipped us with top-notch gear. Everyone has the freedom to choose the weapon they're most proficient with," Vinny replied with a smile, gesturing towards the vast room behind them.He stared at the shocked faces of the MPK members and wondered why they were all looking at him
"Wait!"Ansel's voice made them stop in their tracks, they all turned to look at him expectantly.Kael scoffed, he assumed that Ansel was probably trying to back out."Is this the only portal that we have, Vinny?""He called brother Vinny without respect again.""How uncultured can he be?""I am sure brother Vinny is going to kill him this time."They began to whisper to themselves.Vinny found it hard to concentrate especially when their whispers were filling his ears, he raised his hands up in order to shun them.The loud whispers were replaced by a sudden quietness."If I hear any more words from anyone then I will make sure to feed you to the creatures in the other world." Vinny threatened in an icy tone.Fear crept to their skins and they nodded their heads in fear.Who was Ansel and why wasn't Brother Vinny scolding him?The question was on their minds but they had no choice but to keep quiet.Afterall, they were all new members.However some became jealous and wished that they
They found a quiet spot in the area where they could talk without being overheard.After searching around, they finally sat down together to talk about what to do next.No one knew what type of creatures they were and so they freaked out at every little insect they saw.Vinny's reassuring smile helped ease their fears and they slowly relaxed, their panicked breathing slowing to a gentle sigh.Even Kael who had been acting like an asshole was too scared to speak.He sat so close to Vinny because he believed that Vinny was the only one who could save him.Vinny kept a watchful eye on their surroundings, his gaze scanning for any sign of danger as he explained their situation to the students in a calm voice. The other groups must have landed in another position and so they needed to locate them as fast as they could."Pay attention, everyone. There's a village nearby that's allegedly the only place where these creatures are confined. I'm skeptical about the official story, but one thing
