Volunteers.

Elena could see the two students who had volunteered were Xen Van and Uti Atwan. Turning to Emiera and Lydia, she asked, "Shall we?" They all stood up and joined xen and uti on the platform. Seeing this, Zareth also made his way over. Looking at Elena, he asked, "You didn't think I'll allow you get all the praise now, do you?"

Keeping a blank expression, she just shrugged and said, "You can keep the praise." Seeing this emeira chuckled while patting Zareth on the shoulder, "She'll come around." Lydia reassured him.

After a few minutes, two other students also joined them on the platform. the students were Sammy and Aruh, making the volunteers a total of eight students.

Seeing no other student coming out to volunteer, instructor Gerald rounded up with his speech, giving a few more instructions to the other students before asking the volunteers to join him in his office.

--------------------------------------

[Instructor Gerald's office]

Entering into the office, they all saw Lord Antoine and instructor Gerald already sitting. at the far end of the office, there were several blood flasks, weapons, and weird looking machines.

"Please take a seat and make yourselves comfortable," Gerald instructed them, and they did as told.

"I'll give you'll a quick brief of the situation on ground. As you already know, the purpose of this mission is to look for the antidote to Arwin's ailment. The mission is a serious one as it involves killing a wyvern and bringing back the stinger on its tail." After saying this, Gerald paused for a while as if waiting for his words to sink in.

He then continued. "No one had seen a wyvern for at least 4000 years now, so you all will need to journey deep into the vast lands of beasts and undead creatures."

hearing this piece of information, some of them were already scared, but no one wanted to chicken out as the vampires were a race who valued power and respect more than anything else.

They've all heard dangerous tales of the monstrous creatures that live outside the seven kingdoms of Zastlevania. moreover, that was where the undead dwell, but they've already volunteered to go on this mission, and their fates were sealed already.

"You students would not be going on this mission alone, Four guards would be accompanying you to keep you safe and also make sure this mission will be successful. we have also made arrangements for you all. Behind me are several blood flasks, weapons, tents, portable teleportation machines, armour sets, and other technological devices. you're all entitled to 30 blood flasks each, weapons, armour sets, and technological devices of your choice."

After saying this, he gestured for them to go on and make their choices. they all ran forward except Elena, who decided to take her time as she felt she already had enough weapons and she didn't need a new one, so she would focus her attention on the things she didn't have.

upon arriving, they all began picking out various weapons, Elena was the only one who decided to first of all check for armours instead of weapons, she knew with the weapons on her storage device she could face any opponent and come out victorious, what she needed was a good armour that will focus more on defence, agility and speed.

Activating "Scrutiny skill," she began scanning through various armour sets. The armour set that caught her eyes was one made of black scales and silver spikes.

The armour set had a pair of boots that reached as high as the kneel and was completely black with dragon like scales covering every inch except the sole.

The set had a chest piece that extended and covered from the shoulders, the upper arms to the chest and the back area of the body. also present in the set was a headgear that served as an helmet, a mask and a gorget, covering the head down to the neck,only leaving openings for the eyes,nose, mouth, and ears.

It also had gussets and gauntlets. The gusset had five spikes each around the elbow. the armour also had Tassets that when worn would protect the upper legs.

Scanning the armour, the following information was displayed to her.

Armour Name : Dragon set.

properties : Can withstand all external attacks[ magic and ability based attacks, and also attacks from any weapons].

when worn as a set, it increases the user speed by 30%.

The dragon set is an armour made from the skin of a black dragon. It is immune to all fire attacks, even attacks from dragons.

She picked the armour and then proceeded to the technological device section. There, she settled for a device that looked more like smartphones back on earth. Activating her scrutiny skill once again, she could see the purpose of the device.

Device Name : Dimension hopper.

purpose : the device is used to move between different dimensions and universe. It is used to cross over different planes of existence or travel across various forms of reality.

Condition: The device can only work on locations the user has visited with the device or locations the user has exact coordinates of.

The reason she had picked this device was because she wanted to visit Earth, but seeing the conditions for using the device,she knew she would be unable to do that until she have the exact coordinates of the planet earth since she have not visited earth with the device before.

She turned the device on and saved the location of the academy so she could always use the dimension hopper device to come back to the academy.

moving on, she began putting the blood flasks into her storage devices. After putting in 30 flasks, she stopped and then went ahead to take a seat while looking at the rest of them, who were still trying to choose a weapon.

I see you don't need a weapon. Antoine commented. "No, I don't.I already have everything I need." She responded with an uninterested tone.

she waited for an hour more for the others to completely choose their desired weapons, armours, and tenological device.

"Good to see you're all set. Tomorrow, you're to meet up in the teleportation room at exactly 6.Am." Gerald instructed before signalling them to leave.

Stepping out from the office, zareth invited Elena, Lydia, and Emiera over to his room, which they gladly accepted seeing they have nothing better to do anyway.
