Chapter 1947 First Batch Arrives
Chapter 1947 First Batch Arrives
Today, Holtan stared at his parents with a serious face. "Remember, when you get there, be obedient and study hard. Do you all understand? This is a rare opportunity to see the outside world…an opportunity to learn with the pale, blue and black tone people." The green toned Holten nodded deeply, listening to his parents with a heavy face. This… this was the first time that the 9 year old Holtan was leaving his home for so long, talk less of leaving the beloved Mirv continent. He held onto his 7 year old sister, never leaving her hand for a second. He swore that unless they were at their private quarters once in Baymard, he would always hold her hand. (Even to the toilet?) (>w>)
…
A while later, Holtan found himself, his sister and several others selected, now gathered on several open fields within the city. Their parents were at the opposite end and 3 seniors they were very familiar with were now doing roll calls from them all. At the same time, those called were escorted by several men in cool uniforms into the giant flying carriages before then. Wow! It was mighty huge. All their major luggage was already packed away last night. And now, they were told to only take at most a backpack and another luggage to fit above and underneath their seats. All children also wore fanny packs and kept their money inside. It was amazing that their parents had already gone to the popular place called the Foreign Exchange building to exchange their coins for paper BAYS which were rolled up and kept in their fanny packs. Their fanny packs had key combinations, so no one could open and reach for any items inside without their authorization. As for their school fees, it had long been paid for and given to the ambassador's office to pay on their behalf. Sure enough, just 2 months ago, the ambassador's side in Baymard had sent an envelope from the school which stood as proof of their admission, their housing and everything else. In his case, his parents had done their best and preferred to outright pay for them to stay in school. Some people would have to go to Baymard and figure out their housing situation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, they will first stay in homes belonging to Mirvanna for a week or perhaps 2 before choosing to either rent apartments or also stay in school. It's just that the waitlist for school dormitories was quite long, so who knows if they'll eventually get one at that point. …
Anyway, for Holtan and his sister, they were set and ready to go. They also received their dormitory names and room numbers too. It would surprise people to know that the school builds all sorts of dormitory complexes. There were those that were apartment styled complexes, others that were shared bathroom complexes, as though one was in a frat house, except these buildings were 5 to 6 stories high. Depending on the price, one can get whatever type they want. For Holten, it seems he would be living in a 3 bedroom unit, where everyone has their private rooms. Of course, everyone in the building uses the same bathroom, toilets, and massive cafeteria space on the ground floor. It seems there's a reading lounge, game lounge, and so many things only available for them belonging to this building. It's just that the Cafeteria space below completely divided the building into 2. The right side had stairs leading up to the side belonging to the girls, and the left side had stairs leading up to the side belonging to the boys. What was even more fascinating from the brochure, was that once you reach the stairway up to the girls side, you must take out your school card and tap at the cute cute gate for access. No girls allowed on the boys side, and no boys allowed on the girls side. There were nations and caretakers that sleep in the grist rooms, so they keep a lookout on the scene. Anyway, one can think of it like Harry Potter's boy's side rooms in one corner and Hermione's girl side room in another corner, despite them all belonging to Gryffindor. .
Very quickly, Holten and his sister found themselves waving at their parents down below. Tears threatened to fall when already feeling homesick and missing them dearly. "Brother… will they come to visit us soon?" "Yes," Holten lied, not wanting his cute sister to worry any further. As the man guarding her now, he must not show weakness, and only show a strong shoulder for her to lean on. He was still holding onto her hand during take off. And for a moment, Holten felt a pop noise go off in his ears. 'We were told to yawn during take off. Was it for this?' "Little Vivi, yawn for big brother. It will make your ears calm faster." The little girl scrunched her cute face and did as was told, shocked by the change she got in her ears. "Ah, Big Brother, it works!" (*w*)
Wooo~... Her big brother was so awesome!
The little girl was ecstatic, now calming down and enjoying the adventures that awaited her ahead. Soon, they went through the chaotic waters and air spaces surrounding Mirvanna, until they eventually reached calmer atmospheres, causing boundless clasp from the masses. Awesome! Amazing! Although they knew their great ruler Tacholla and several others had successfully left Baymard and returned alive, it was one thing to hear about their adventures and one thing to experience it for oneself. In no time, they landed and were shown into their cabins onboard the many ships awaiting. It seems that the same planes that carried them out, had to do 2 more round trips into and out of the Mirvanna to bring out more people. .
Wow! Everyone just couldn't get enough for what they saw. While aboard the cruise lines, they were told to explore their rooms and prepare for dinner. Holten found he and his sister now shared a space with 2 others their age, a bit and a girl too. The boys chose to stay on one bed and the girls on the other. In truth, they felt the massive beds could take up to 3 people per bed at once. So 2 per bed was indeed quite spacious. "Ahhh! The water flows hot just as I've seen in the movies!" Incredible. Just what was the theory behind all this? (?_?)
Holten had to admit that the days spent cruising back to Baymard was like a vacation he didn't even know he needed. Ah yes, it was quite blissful. But little did he know that Baymard itself was the true gem awaiting to be touched. Let's just say that when Holten and everyone else arrived, they had to wonder if they entered a different world altogether.
November 27th. They arrived on December 2nd, barely a few days before Christmas. Everything in Baymard was just so grand, the people were nice, the food was exquisite and everyone was incredibly welcoming. The most amazing thing was that he and his sister already made good friends of their own. "Hey, Holt, buddy… we're going to the mall to get new cell phones. Want to come?" "Ahh! Of course I would!" Thanks to Mirvanna being a UN empire, he could get cellphones unlike other Non-treaty empires. Like that, several more weeks passed in a flash and before Holten could blink, it was already January 5th of the new year. School had officially begun 1 week ago, and now, Holten and his sister Vivian, had completely adjusted to life here. Sigh…
Holten looked to the skies through the school window, finding that the ancient books about foreigners out of Mirvanna, were quite vague on facts about them. Only when coming to Baymard, do you know just how tall and gigantic Giants truly were. Only after coming here, does one know what blue, black and pale tone people look like. Only after getting a part-time job in the school grounds, earning money, studying and living a life with technology all around, does one truly understand how backward his beloved Mirvanna used to be. Fortunately, they joined the UN! . Just like Holten and his sister, many Mirvs began thinking deeply about Mirvanna's future. However, no matter their thoughts, one thing was very clear. The first batch of Mirvanna students had successfully adjusted to Baymard's always. Such was the report Landon received.
