Chapter 320 The Portals Open
Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.
The birds were whistling, and the roads were getting busy.
Look to the sky; though not brightly shone yet, everyone could already tell it would be a great sunny day.
But who the hell cares about this?
Today, in all prominent families, the students were called one by one and given their bags confiscated earlier after several checks.
What was the feeling?
Not even the military and all other secret armed force operations were this careful.
They passed through all sorts of checking technologies and procedures to ensure no one placed anything out of the ordinary in them.
What's more, everyone was also scanned more than 10 times.
Their clothes were also checked to see if there were smeared poisons or harmful substances, and their shoes were also double-checked.
And by the end, they entered ordinary-looking school buses in groups.
That's right. School Buses!
They didn't want to alarm the general public or seem too out of place. So how could they get to their various locations in military outfits and vehicles?
Too alarming!
They didn't even want to enter their military buses but chose ordinary school buses instead.
As for the 3 Main alleyways, those sites had been cleared with no civilians taking too much interest in the place.
Firstly, the locations chosen were excellent, with no towering buildings looking into the Alleyway.
This was great, as the police immediately got warrants to station themselves around the nearby buildings, telling the owners they were there for investigations, looking for criminals.
Of course, they came undercover, so they acted as civilians, either walking about the place or even sitting on the streets.
If anyone didn't know the situation, they would find nothing out of place.
Look!
There were even a few road construction workers a little up ahead on the various roads, acting as though inspecting the place and making plans for road work.
The many prominent families had planned this much for security purposes.
But little did they know that even if a Normal person witnessed them passing through the portals, what they saw would be different from what was true.
Ordinary civilians would see them jumping over the walls and heading into any buildings and properties surrounding the alleyway instead.
Dorian hadn't bothered to say anything, wanting them to discover things themselves.
They did have their forces stationed around during this time. So wouldn't things be reported to them in the end?
.
"Husband... I'm so nervous."
Taking a taxi to the seemingly ordinary-looking streets, mother Obyn's heart stumbled over its rhythm the more she glanced at the closer they reached the alleyway.
"Mom, don't worry. We have already passed the exams. So what's there to worry about?" Chiyou tried to sound brave. Too bad her trembling voice had long betrayed her.
And the cab driver who was taking them through the scene was even more confused listening to the family's strange conversation.
But soon, someone stopped their vehicle.
"Sorry. This road is due for repairs.'
With a few words, the Obyns stepped out of the vehicle.
"Academy?" One of the 'construction workers' asked when the Obyn's stepped out of the taxi.
"Yes, academy!"
Bubuum. Bubuum.
Chiyou's heart was racing the closer she got to the Alleyway.
But what was even more alarming was the size of the Alleyway.
~Boeing!
The Obyns had their eyes bulge out of their sockets.
Eh? What did they see?
The alleyway that shouldn't have been proficient in containing the vast crowd was like a massive hall when they stepped in.
"I'm so nervous... What do you think it will be like?"
"My skin is already clammy from anxiety."
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah~."
Many whispered, expressing their feelings and thoughts on the matter.
This was like nothing they had experienced before!
Chiyou listened, feeling better that she and her family weren't the only ones nervous about the unexpected.
Squinting her eyes, she noticed 2 familiar faces facing the crowd at the very front.
Sirs Zhulyn and Raulin... The Grandmaster's men.
Looking at her watch, they still had a few more minutes before the gateway opened!
'We made it... We made it on time!'
Chiyou's body quivered.
Hahahhaha~...
Today would be their first day in the magical academy!!
(^_^)
.
All across the 3 Portal sites, similar situations unfolded.
In one of the alleyways, the heads of all 3 Prominent families, as well as Deputy Director Xiang Shore and a few others, all gathered in one spot overseen by Bewoh and Butler Sheng.
And in another place, Ajin, Mina, and the rest of the group who first took Dorian to the island on choppers were gathered alongside Mia and Endo, who escaped the mirror world.
Yes. In this alleyway, Chan-ki and Haru would be the Portal gatekeepers.
All in all, an equal number of Hou, Ghu, and Gia members were scattered across all 3 portal sites.
Everyone stared at their watches from time to time, with every ticking sound making their hearts grow together and tighter.
What to expect? What exactly would this portal seem like?
What magical world would they be heading into?
For the first time, many felt like ants swimming in the cosmos.
Ghu Sota excitedly pulled on Old Mrs. Ghu: "Grandma... Am I still dreaming? How about I pinch you to be sure?"
"..."
Old Mes. Ghu had fire coming off her mouth while smacking her stupid Grandson's hand away.
If you feel it's a dream, why not pinch yourself? Why pinch her instead?
'Hmph! See how I teach you a lesson in the academy. So stupid!!!'
Her Grandson's brain wasn't good at all!
Say no more. Ghu Dwo snapped his fingers, and Butler Windock covered the young master's mouth with his hands.
'Young master, don't you know when to shut up?'
Well, Sota's actions had made a few of them relax their tensed nerves, but only for a brief moment.
~Vmmmm!
What was that?
Jaws dropped, mouths opened, bodies frozen... Everyone's attention was now drawn to the strange scene before them.
This... This...
