A threat and an opportunity

Chapter 48

"We should do this in the cinema," Elizabeth said while relaxing in Kevin's arms while both of them were sitting in the bathtub.

"Oh, I am not doing anything with you in public," Kevin replied hurriedly.

"Why?" Elizabeth asked with a cute frown.

"Remember the ladies' room incident." Kevin reminded her of their sexual adventure that they had during lunch break in the women's toilet.

"That wasn't my fault." Elizabeth defended herself before saying, "If anyone is to blame, then it's you. You with your arousing words and your big fat cock." And then shifted all the blame on Kevin.

Kevin chuckled at her defense and said nothing. He just kissed her neck softly which made her moan.

"Okay. We will do it wherever you want." Kevin replied after leaving a trail of kisses on the back of her neck.

"You promised," Elizabeth said in return.

"What do you think will happen tomorrow?" She asked after a while, while Kevin was still planting soft kisses wherever he could on her back.

"I don't know but I have a feeling that special class is indeed special," Kevin replied, taking a small break before resuming.

"What do you mean?" She asked, turning her face to him.

"They are hiding something. Something from the general public. I don't know what it is, but they are preparing us for that." Kevin gave his analysis.

"What do you think it is?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't have a good idea, but I think it's a threat and an opportunity," Kevin answered before pushing Elizabeth and impaling her, taking her by surprise.

Kevin checked his status as he entered his classroom. Technically it was their holiday today, but they were asked to be present here on Saturday morning.

He couldn't raise his level yesterday even after two sexual sessions, but it was pleasant, nonetheless. Elizabeth was also slowly heading toward another level, but it seemed her experience gain was quite slow, and it would be some time before he would be able to upgrade her rank again.

Not long after, Benny entered the classroom followed by Haylee whose gaze landed on Kevin. Kevin flinched a little remembering the pain Haylee had delivered him for the last three weeks and Haylee smiled when she saw Kevin's reaction.

Kevin had been beaten before by his uncle and his team but now it was clear they were holding back. Even Haylee held back considerably but even with that, Kevin had a hard time lasting long against her.

What he didn't know was that no one else in Haylee's career lasted that long in a fight against her. Haylee was stronger than Benny in physical traits and speed was her specialty.

"Glad to see you all and I know you are not very happy with your free day eaten away but what you will experience today will change your viewpoint of the world." Benny started his speech.

"You will witness a new kind of threat. A threat that is on par with the threat of the Dawrians." Benny said at which Kevin wondered what it was.

Benny hadn't said that it was Dawrians but something on par with Dawrians. They were facing something other than Dawrians and Kevin felt that it was something much more serious than Dawrians.

A student raised his arms and asked the question many had in their minds. "What kind of threat sir?"

"You will be informed later on and then you can ask questions," Benny replied which was a nice way of saying shut up.

And Benny continued his speech, "But in every threat, there is an opportunity. An opportunity for mankind to grow."

He ended his speech and directed everyone to follow him. Everyone started leaving the room and followed after Benny and Haylee.

They were all led out of the building and to another building which was about thirty minutes away from the special building.

Kevin noted the security of the building and was now quite sure that they were hiding something.

They were led further in, passing through many points and checks. The security inside the building was twice that outside.

Many along with Kevin were curious after coming so far and seeing so much. Elizabeth had asked about fifty questions by now, but Kevin wasn't able to answer any of them as she wasn't giving him a chance to.

Soon they stopped in front of a large metal door. Benny turned to look and them and said, "What you are about to see is highly classified so if any news of it is spread outside, all of you will be held accountable. An investigation would be launched, and the student found guilty would be exterminated.

'That's harsh.' Kevin thought after hearing the punishment given by Benny. Many thought that Benny was just bluffing but they were soon to discard that thought when they saw his serious face.

No one spoke after Benny's ominous swords, and he said, "Good." And then he signaled the man behind the desk who nodded back and pressed a button.

The large metallic door split into two halves and started opening. What appeared behind the door was a blue glow. It was a circular, egg-like blue cloud.

[Doorway to a pocket dimension of Tarania found]

[Threat Level C]

'Tarania? Pocket dimension?' Kevin thought after a few notifications appeared from the system along with a threat level which Kevin didn't understand.

"This here is a portal which leads to a strange land. A land of monsters. I know it is a little unusual. Portal and monsters. If someone were to tell you, you would think they are making up stories, but this portal is not a story and the threat behind it is very real."

Benny stopped for a while to let his words sink into the student's minds who after a few moments started talking among themselves.

"What is that?"

"Did such a thing exist?"

"Have you heard anything about it, Steven?"

There were many loud murmurs and many students turned to the heirs of the families, thinking they might have known about it, but no one did.

Benny allowed them to speak for a while but then said loudly, "Silent."

Everyone quieted down. No one said another word. Benny again waited for a few seconds and then resumed, "Now I know that all of this is very overwhelming but keep up. You have to. This is the reason for you being here. This is the duty of the special class."

He then waited again for his words to sink in and then he continued.

"Now here are some instructions." He spoke, garnering everyone's attention.

"You have to enter and kill the monsters inside. Each student must kill at least two monsters." He said while pulling a crystal out of his pocket.

Kevin had seen such a crystal before. With his uncle but it was clearer and shinier. This was kind of dirty with black particles in it.

"This is what falls out of every monster. You are to collect two each to pass this exploration. The one who doesn't, fails the test and is kicked out of the special class."

Many gasped at his words but they were only a few. They didn't know what the result would be, but they wouldn't make it too hard.

"These crystals will be your testimony. The one who possesses two crystals passes. Along with these crystals, there are a few more crystals, that can be very useful inside the dimension. Collect them if you can as they are sold at a very good price to the government or if you sell them to Olympia, you will be granted extra virtual dollars."

Kevin noted many things in Benny's instruction. Although he was telling them to team up to deal with this mess, his words could also be interpreted as, 'have two crystals to pass. How you get them is no concern.'

There will be a lot of fighting inside. Kevin thought.

"Most important instruction of mine." He said which made everyone extra attentive, "Live."

The seriousness in his voice scared many.

"Any questions?" He finally asked but no one raised their hands. Kevin did after a few moments and Benny nodded.

"Is there anything known about the monsters inside?" Kevin asked.

"A very good question Mister Derek and yes, the monster inside is known as the wild porcupine. It is like a porcupine but bigger. They shoot needles from their back while their front is armed with their long arms and long nails. Attacking from the back is not advised as their senses are very sharp and if they felt you coming from behind, they will shoot needles which are fast and sharp enough to pass through you so be careful."

Everyone nodded at Benny's explanation and prepared themselves, but Kevin raised his hand again.

Benny nodded and Kevin asked, "What's Tarania?"

Benny was puzzled at his words and asked, "What is Tarania?"

Kevin realized and said, "Nothing. Sorry sir."

Benny made a strange expression as if he didn't understand but Haylee's expression had changed a bit. 'He knows something!' The way Kevin had asked an intelligent question and then a completely irrelevant question would get past most of the people, but truly intelligent people would look past that.

Haylee was one of those. Kevin knew something and he was testing it with Benny. 'I might have to talk to him after this.' She noted inwardly.

'Okay then. Since there are no more questions, form three lines and enter one by one." At Benny's instructions, three lines were formed, and students started walking into the blue portal one by one.

Kevin passed through the portal and a few notifications appeared in front of him.

[Passing through a grade C gateway to a pocket dimension of Tarania]

[INT stat is sufficient to resist the side effects]

Kevin didn't feel anything but once he passed through, he saw Elizabeth who was right in front of him, fallen on the ground. Kevin panicked and hurriedly went to her. She was passed out and so were most of the students.

Only Sarah, Nathan, and Steven were still conscious but even they weren't looking so good. Kevin hurriedly felt Elizabeth's pulse and felt she was alright. She was just passed out. Kevin heaved a sigh of relief but kept checking various places of her to make sure she was okay.

"That's a surprise. You're not even disoriented let alone pass out or puking." He heard a familiar voice. He turned to see Haylee standing there in a black suit with a half skirt that covered her buttocks while her front was covered with a jacket. Her legs covered in tight pants were exposed from the front.

'How is she wearing something so tight?' Kevin wondered before asking, "What is happening?"

"Relax, it's just a slight disorientation. They will soon get used to the environment and wake up. They will puke a lot and act like they are high on drugs for a few hours. Which is very astonishing about you."

Haylee first relived his worry and told him their symptoms and then commented on Kevin's state which was completely normal.

"I have a good mental fortitude," Kevin replied.

"Ahan." Haylee nodded and then she remembered something, "Since we're alone, mind telling me what that Tarania thing was all about?"

Kevin contemplated for a bit whether he should tell Haylee or not. If he tells her there will be more questions to answer like how he knew, and if he doesn't then Haylee would be suspicious of him for some time which would make her keep an eye on him.

"Tarania is the name of the place where this place is connected to." Kevin decided on the former. "My theory is that this is a bridge. This place. A bridge between two worlds."

Haylee's eyes went wide at Kevin's answer but then Kevin said something else which made her think of this even more seriously, "These aren't the signs of connecting to a new civilization. These are the marks of an invasion."

He turned to Haylee and said, "This is an invasion. Prelude of an invasion."
