Last "peaceful" moments

Gulp!

All around, a dry and hoarse gulping sound kept coming out.

The teacher had just spoken when the entire spaceship lifted, as silently as the silence among the Dreamers. There were almost no vibrations, and the entire experience can be summed up as floating into the air.

The teacher let her mouth shut for a few moments, and as the bus-like spaceship reached the heights of the sky, she continued.

"I am Siwan Cecil, an outer Planetary teacher from the Nation of Innovation, Knowledge, and Eternity. The same organization for which you all are here. This planet is reserved for selecting PS, or Peripheral Students. There are many such planets, and there are many like me within each of them. That means for the next three days I will oversee all your actions and tasks."

'Peripheral Students?!'

Aldrich repeated these two words quite a few times in his mind.
