Time passed quickly and it is time for the worlds to open.
Sam waited at the area where the portals are supposed to come. He came early at dawn, but the place is already bustling with people of all strengths and expertise.
The outers are also there. He also observed several groups of people wearing similar uniforms and such. The forces of the students' families, they are also here. Another thing he noticed is that a lot of people, who are supposed to be in first grade are now in second grade.
It seemed like they made haste to meet the criteria to join the conquest.
While Sam is observing everyone, he also felt several observant gazes land on him. He didn't feel surprised though. He knew why they are looking at him. He is still a target. He might not be target for being connected to the Hub anymore, although there is a good majority of people that still suspect him, they are not acting on the suspicion yet.
