Incline 36: Exceptional Student Vapooliar

"This is, peculiar." I commented as I walked past all manners of people dressed in familiar yet strange clothing. Glowing pictures were all around me as well. With their messages clearly focused on many things. From an animal that reminded me of Waionr's loyal beast to a bottle with a red label.

If I did not have a goal in mind, I might've explored the world these students had created. Yet, I did have one in mind, so I just kept on going. Briefly flying every now and then to the surprise of no one. However, despite me flying, none of these people were.

"They aren't even acknowledging me." I said with a clear sense of shock in my voice. Even back in Thurn's Forge, the home of the Valkinvar, people still watched us! They still looked up in awe as one of us flew by them or even walked by. Granted, I had none of my gear, but still!

I was flying as if it was a natural thing and none of them even cared. They still continued to not even care when I dropped back down. The sudden force even cracked the pavement and they still kept on going about their fictional days. It was such an odd thing to be unnerved about as well.

I guess, being a soldier, I was too used to people looking my way when I came in. The power of a Valkinvar turned the heads of even the most magically inept. We could control it easily and with great finesse, but, even then, you could still feel it! No one here, however, seemed to care or feel it.

So, I decided on flying up and away from the streets. Primarily, so I could find the exit to this place, yet, to also escape the weird people. And, as I rose up higher and higher, I saw what this city looked like from up above. It was a very regimental place, one made on a grid of some kind and I could see its flaws clearly.

Those vehicles they were driving were clogging up the streets and it clearly frustrated these people. Yet, they still carried on as if it were a normal thing to experience. Even the sky seemed relatively busy as there were these strange machine birds coming in all over the place. None came too close to this island we were on, however.

"A whole city, just for a school tournament..." I let out in awe once I reached a statue extending from a tall, square building. Most of the buildings were square, in fact, but this one stood high above them all. Its spear-like top makes it reach even higher. Unfortunately, though, I could only see more of this city or other ones.

There was no out of place opening for me to go through... There was, however, a great aura of magic coming from the large strip of greenery in this city. This greenery was blocky too. like the rest of the city. And, that is where I started to float towards as maybe they knew the way out.
