Out Of The Safe Zone

As soon as the train left the barrier, it plunged into darkness. It wasn't so dark that they couldn't see. They could see, and the sight was mystifying. The darkness was eerie and frightening, and it sent chills down the spines of the students, even Yunxi.

The land was brick red, and skeletons of different species of living things littered the land. The plants looked ominous, and the wind howled fiercely, unmasking their innocent outward appearance.

The Sun was covered with thick dark clouds, which blocked its rays. It was like there was an eclipse of the sun happening.

The train had a pair of headlights on which further brightened the surroundings. They could see scary monsters lurking around.

The train zoomed forward at a considerable speed. The speed at which the train was moving was so slow, that the students started making noises to voice out their distress.

Chu Yunxi calmly looked out of the wind up window. The surroundings were bright, and there were no spooky monsters or creepy plants around. That meant only one thing.

" The dark hole. " Yunxi muttered under her breath.

Just as she finished talking, the train landed on the ground, and the doors opened.

Silence diffused around the train. No one was making an attempt to move. And Yunxi wondered why ? They had all been hyped on going to the dark hole. Now that they have arrived, none of them are moving.

" Students, pick up your things and move out. " A masculine voice boomed out.

' Ohh. . . They didn't move out because they haven't been given the permission to. ' Chu Yunxi realized the reason for their reluctance, because as soon as the man spoke, they all picked their things and stepped out of the train.

Afterwards, Yunxi walked out of the train, after all the students had moved out. She doesn't want to be caught in the stampede.

She slowly made her way , elegantly to the group of students standing. Some of them had a backpack on their backs, and held some sorts of weapons. While the others were empty handed. They possessed a storage ring.

In front of the Students, was Cheng Rouyu,two other military women and three men who wore casual clothes.

Cheng Rouyu stepped forward and looked at the students before her and said with a smile,

" Students! The day you have finally been waiting for has arrived. The start of your journey to help humanity in surviving.

Grow stronger, and you can have the opportunity to get into top guilds and the military. Everything you lack, you can have! Survive and Grow!!"

The students booed. They conversed among themselves frantically. They were all smiles.

Chu Yunxi, who was behind them, was confused.

She shakes her head in amusement as she watched the students around her.

' Why are they all happy? Although Cheng Rouyu's words are motivating, they didn't get the hidden meaning . To me , it wasn't a motivation speech. It was a crafty speech. A trap. ' Yunxi thought.

" Okay! We have a total number of sixty two students. " One of the military woman said to Cheng Rouyu.

" What ?! That isn't possible. There are supposed to be sixty-one. " She looked around the crowd of students, and spotted a lone figure at the back, dressed in black pants and hoodie, with a sword strapped on her back.

" Chu Yunxi!!!! What are you doing here?!!!" She said angrily. She looked like a tiny dragon in flames, as she shot fireballs at Yunxi, who didn't know she was about to blow up.

Her voice garnered the attention of the students. They all became silent and turned around to look at the person standing behind them.

The Mysterious figure with a sword that screamed " Stay Back!!!" was . . . Chu Yunxi!!!

" I can't believe what I am seeing. Chu Yunxi. . . Is here?!!" Someone said out loud.

" A talentless freak dared to come here! Does she think we are going to a park?!" Another added.

" She's going to get killed as soon as she enters the dark hole. " Someone else added.

Soon, mocking laughter erupted from all the students.

Chu Yunxi wasn't bothered about their words and actions. She walked forward, and the students were quick to make way for her. They wouldn't want to get on the bad side of her family. The Chu's were not to be trifled with. They were only bullying her because she doesn't care.

Chu Yunxi was now standing In Front of Cheng Rouyu. She lifted her head up, whereby only half of her face was revealed.

Her thin pink lips moved slowly, as she said ,

" Miss Rouyu, you are only alive today because of my sister. You owe us a life."

Cheng Rouyu's eyes widened as she heard Yunxi's cold words.

" Then, I hope you act accordingly from now on. There shouldn't be a second time. " Chu Yunxi added with a smile.

Cheng Rouyu gulped down her saliva, as drops of sweat decorated her gorgeous face.

Seeing the effect of her words, Yunxi turned around and left with a bright smile plastered on her face,to her initial spot.

Cheng Rouyu was scared out of her wits. She had a horrified look on her face, as if she had just heard something terrible.

One of the military women came forward and called out her name softly in her ears.

" Miss Cheng, the students are waiting."

Cheng Rouyu jerked out of her stupor, and her face became serious.

" You all can now enter the dark hole."

The students moved forward towards a black vortex. With a determined face, the students gritted their teeth and held their backpacks and fists tightly, before stepping in.

Slowly, they all entered the vortex.

" She is really the Ice Fairy's daughter. Cheng Rouyu, you shouldn't be mean to her. Soon, she would attack back and would surely not hold back like her sister." The oldest among the men said, with a shrewd smile on.
