Chapter 295: Other Worldly School

Now within the light, Moby felt an immediate jolt ravage his entire body, as he instinctively let go of Hikari's hand. It was to be expected, and what next he expected was to appear at his destination slightly disoriented, however, that did not happen.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself still engulfed in white light, a bright void all around him, Hikari still nervously to his side.

Then, a voice from seemingly all directions emerged, one robotic in nature. And, what followed was a series of blue lights being scanned straight on him and the girl to his side.

{ Scan Complete! }

{ Students identified: Moby Kane, Hikari Yami, original name: Asakusa Hitomi }

Instinctively, Moby raised an eyebrow. "Original name?" He mumbled to himself, only for the still nervous Hikari to instinctively shudder, like some sort of pain entered her heavily breathing body, taking a step away from Moby which he found to make absolutely no sense.

However, before he could even speak, the robotic voice spoke once again.

{ Here are your student uniforms! Please wear them! }

Suddenly, seemingly out of thin air, two pairs of clothing emerged, one clearly bigger than the other and meant for a man.

He held it firmly in his hands. It had an odd texture, feeling both hard and soft at the same time. And, with a swipe of his hands, he wore the outfit, finding it to fit him exactly. It was a gray and elegant button-up shirt with a few metallic, intricate silver and golden designs with a white shirt underneath it, the pants and shoes were perfectly matching his top and fit snugly around his waist, not too tight and not too loose.

With a grin, still, in the white void, he began stretching, jumping and attacking the air, getting a feel for the new uniform that he would probably be wearing every day.

He felt empowered. It felt almost like he was wearing nothing, it was unlike anything he had worn before; far better than his previous uniform that was for certain.

Yet, he could not help but notice Hikari once again, nervously holding her student uniform with shaky hands, not putting them on.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Moby spoke, trying to check up on her.

However, despite his efforts, all she did was grumble and look away like a little child.

Nevertheless, eventually, she spoke.

"I'm sorry… I'm a mess… I've never done anything like this before… I-I-I-I just can't..."

Moby took a small pause, thinking before responding.

"Is it your mouth? Does this uniform cover your mouth?"

There was a small silence, neither one of them speaking a word as she spoke once more, almost as though she was crying.

"Yes… K-kinda… That's part of it… I-I don't want t-"

"Give me that!"

"W-wha-"

"I said give me your uniform!"

Hikari slowly turned around with tears in her eyes, bowing before handing over her uniform.

"O-okay big brother…"

With a smile, Moby grabbed the uniform out of her hands and spoke. "Now turn around, and don't look back until I say so. Okay?"

"Okay…" She was unsure why he was doing what he was doing, yet she did as she was told, like she had some sort of underlying trust.

And, not even a few seconds later, Moby's voice rang out in her ears.

"Done! You can turn around now,"

And, almost like it was a surprise birthday present, there in his hands was still her uniform, yet it looked custom modified with a bigger peak on the shirt allowing it to fully cover her mouth.

She was unsure how it even happened, yet she was beyond ecstatic.

"Here you go! Is this better?"

She started crying once more, which made Moby slightly nervous. "Hey! Don't cry! I'll fix it! I didn-"

"I love it… Thank you so much, big brother…" She grabbed the uniform out of Moby's hands and immediately put it on, finding it to be perfect as she jumped up and down like a little child until the robotic voice once again snapped her back into reality, making her nervousness return.

{ You have finally reached your destination! Welcome, to the Alexander Davis School of Elites! }

'Took long enough... Was this teleportation process just for show or is this planet actually that far away?' Moby thought to himself, as he prepared for another wave of slight disorientation.

Once again, their vision was engulfed in a bright, white light, and the next thing they knew, they were both in a wide, open room standing on one teleporter respectively.

Their vision was slightly hazy yet everything then quickly came into view. They were in a wide, expansive room made out of black metal, purple energy flowing through cracks like circuits, reflecting off the metal, giving the room a slight purple shine and tint. Students of all ethnicities from all over the world were as far as the eye could see, wearing similar uniforms to what they were given, a fair mixture of boys and girls with a hardened expression on their faces. One by one, all around them, they appeared on the teleporters and followed through to the clear, wide-open exit leading to the light of the outside, staying a fair distance from one another as to not touch.

The atmosphere was beyond serious and tense. Despite the immense amount of students in the room, the chatter was nearly non-existent. The only thing that entered his ears was the sound of footsteps and machinery.

Everyone around him was around his same age, yet the power he felt from them was that of children their age at all… Every single one of them possessed question marks when he would try to inspect them. It was clear now why Jayden was not good enough to come with him…? It was not to say that he felt inferior to any of them, he simply felt like he fell in line with the rest, which was something he had never felt ever since his first few days of military school.

He took a deep breath and marched forward, trying to blend in with the crowd for now. Still, he could not help but notice that something was missing… or more like someone... Hikari was not to his side, she was still standing on the teleporter, trembling with wide-open eyes like she had seen a ghost and had a heart attack at the same time.

'Shit!' Moby inwardly cursed. The teleporters were still in use and she might get in trouble if she stood on it for too long.

He hated to do this, especially in front of so many people but he went back and held her hands, forcing her into the crowd with him.

He wanted to ask her what was going on with her, yet, he did not want to stand out more than he already did, considering the quiet atmosphere of the area— he was already attracting a few gazes his way after all, either from her or his reputation. He was unsure if he had already been recognized.

She was usually very outgoing and upbeat in her light side. Why was she acting like this now of all times? And why not just switch to her dark side if this was bringing her so much pain and hardship?

He looked down at Hikari who was reluctantly walking behind him and let go of her hands, which made her heart seemingly nearly stop. But, that was when she felt an invisible tug on her palms, bringing her ever so forward. It was odd, there was nothing in front of her yet there was a warm hand tightly clasped around her tiny fingers.

And, it all led back to Moby, who was probably trying to help her. She took a deep breath. She had been trying to get over her fears and seeing how much Moby was trying to help her only pushed her even harder, although it was not enough for her to even halfway overcome it.

As they both exited what seemed like the teleporter building, their new world came into view…

They were all in a tunnel, clear glass around them, and under them a transparent moving walkway taking them at breakneck speed towards something bright and massive ahead.

Throughout the past year, Moby had seen various different planets on his XP farming and hunting journeys, but none of them could compare to what he was seeing in front of him.

The sky was mostly pitch black yet had other colours mixed in from different sections such as purple and orange. The sky clearest he had ever seen, stars glowing brighter than they ever could on earth. Around him were endless expanses of gray rock and mist with a bright white light shining in the horizon. In the sky, there was a small white star acting as the new sun, along with other objects floating around. There were two extremely massive other planets, or possibly even moons. One of them was cracked with a massive hole in it, chunks of space rocks flowing out of that massive hole that looked like someone took a bite off of it.

And, up straight ahead of them was their destination… It seemed like a quiet city, yellow lights flickering from it, buildings of all sizes looking rather futuristic sprouting from the ground like trees. Around it was a slightly clear, bright white bubble engulfing like a defensive barrier. It was truly a marvel to look at coming ever so closer to it.

Still, that was not what his eyes landed on at first...

What was truly eye-catching was the one building, a one black and imposing, looking like a mixture of a castle and a futuristic battle station, a massive tower growing from the center of it that pierced through the clouds and reached the edges of the white, semi-clear bubble engulfing the area, making the city underneath it look more like pebbles in comparison.

'Is that… THE SCHOOL!?'
