Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next morning, Vincent and the others arrived at the battlefield once again. Teacher Chris and Bixby then led them to the black hole.
There were two black holes in Blazing City. They were located in different areas. One was located in the forbidden area behind Quinn's main school, and the other was located behind the defensive mountain range outside the city.
Teacher Chris led Vincent and the others to the black hole behind Quinn as the black hole there was relatively safer.
Quinn's teachers and students would go to the black hole regularly for training. Their main purpose was to kill monsters and control the number of monsters in the black hole. This was to prevent the monsters from rebelling and breaking the seal.
The black hole was in a cave. There was a team of 100 people guarding the cave. They were made up of Quinn's teachers and students. They needed to be at least mid-level superpowered users in order to guard the cave.
When Vincent and his team arrived, everyone could feel a strong murderous aura coming from the cave.
"Teacher Chris? What are you doing?"
The teacher who was stationed there knew Teacher Chris. He was puzzled when he saw Teacher Chris leading a group of students to the black hole.
He had a scar across his face. The scar started from his left sideburns and ended on his right chin. Although he looked kind, people would still get shocked after seeing him for the first time.
"These are the students who are partic.i.p.ating in the special enrollment compet.i.tion. I've brought them to the black hole to train."
As she spoke, she handed over her teacher's identification card as proof of her ident.i.ty.
The teacher nodded. After verifying Teacher Chris and Bixby's ident.i.ties, he greeted Vincent and his team with a smile.
"Students, show me your student identification cards."
Vincent and the others handed over their student identification cards. The teacher checked their ID cards and revealed a surprised expression.
"They are all new students? Teacher Chris, did you make a mistake?"
Teacher Chris nodded. "That's right, they are the chosen ones for the compet.i.tion."
The teacher was very worried, but he did not say it out loud. He returned everyone's student ID cards and signaled the students behind him to move aside.
The teacher sighed when Vincent walked past him.
"We are looking forward to this year's juniors! Vincent, Quinn's future depends on you!"
Vincent paused and looked at the teacher.
Previously, Teacher Chris had informed him that there was a group of Quinn's teachers that were stationed in the black hole all year round. They were ready to give up their lives at any time for the future of humanity.
Although their superpowers and levels might not be very high, they were still individuals who deserved to be remembered and respected by humanity.
Vincent knew that the teacher guarding the gate had sacrificed his life for humanity.
He bowed to the teacher and said in a deep voice, "Teacher, I will work hard!"
This was a kind of legacy!
In fact, it was a legacy that had existed for thousands of years!
At that moment, the teacher entrusted the task to Vincent.
Teacher Chris and the rest stood at the side and watched as the two of them completed the exchange.
Vincent's team followed and bowed to the teacher and students guarding the cave.
They then walked into the cave.
About ten minutes later, Vincent and his team saw a black vortex. It had a strong suction force. It was the black hole!
The black hole had a diameter of five meters. It made everyone feel very nervous.
The suction force made Vincent and his team feel very uncomfortable. Not only did they feel the suction force on their bodies, but they could also feel it on their souls.
The thought of giving up on their bodies and allowing their souls to be sucked out directly from their bodies was extremely dangerous.
Teacher Chris channeled her superpower and shouted in a low voice, "Stabilize your mind. The black hole will attack the first person who comes into contact with it. If you
Vincent was the first person to calm his mind. He looked at the black hole with fear and panted heavily.
For a moment, he felt like he saw his missing parents.
However, he suddenly realized that he had never seen his parents before. He almost fell into the trap.
The others also regained their senses after hearing Teacher Chris's instructions. They all had a sudden look of realization on their faces, just like Vincent.
Angelina's face was paler than the rest. No one knew what she had seen.
After seeing the five of them coming back to their senses, Teacher Chris heaved a sigh of relief.
"Let's go! Let's go in."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked into the black hole.
Vincent and his team entered next. Bixby was the last to enter.
After pa.s.sing through the black hole, they could smell a strong blood scent in the air.
The five of them all frowned after seeing the inside of the black hole.
The black hole was filled with a dark and deathly aura. It was so dark that they could not even see their own fingers.
Even though Teacher Chris had warned the five of them about the situation inside the black hole, they still felt uncomfortable.
Teacher Chris took out a stone that was emitting a fluorescent light from her belt.
"This is a Fluorescent Stone. It is the only source of light that works in the black hole," explained Teacher Chris.
"Come with me. We'll go to the supply point first."
The supply point was a square with a radius of three hundred meters. In the middle of the supply point stood four special ability laser cannons. The supply point was also surrounded by laser beams. However, most of them were damaged.
The square was stained with blood. There were many people who were injured and the buildings in the square had been damaged badly.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had occurred.
The arrival of Teacher Chris and the others attracted the attention of many people in the square. One of them, who was more than two meters tall, walked forward. His forearm was as thick as Vincent's waist.
"Who's there?"
"I'm a teacher from Quinn. My name is Teacher Chris. I have brought a team with me for training purposes."
"Show me your ident.i.ty card."
Teacher Chris handed over her ident.i.ty card. The man took it and put it into a blood-stained box on his waist.
The box suddenly shot out a ray of light. The light wrapped around Teacher Chris.
"Beep! Humans, you can pa.s.s."
When the brawny man heard the beep, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After checking the identification of Vincent and his team, he brought Vincent and the others into the square.
At the same time, he explained why the identification process was important.
It turned out that monsters could transform into humans too. This was how the lasers were damaged.
Although the monsters were defeated in the end, they still suffered heavy losses.
Vincent and the others frowned. The monsters actually had the ability to transform into humans. This meant that the situation outside the black hole had become more troublesome and dangerous.
Vincent and the others wanted to help fix up the square. However, they were too weak.
After a simple resupply, they all left the square and walked into the darkness.
Five minutes later, they took shelter beside a huge black rock. Teacher Chris looked at Vincent and the others with a serious face.
"You all heard and saw what happened just now. Humans are in danger. Our future depends on you. You are our hope. What you need to do now is focus on becoming stronger."
"Now, the second phase of the team training officially begins now! Unless you encounter a life-threatening situation, Teacher Bixby and I will not help you. However, at the same time, if we do, that will end the team training."
Teacher Chris then turned her head away and ignored Vincent and his team.
The five of them clenched their fists. They all had strong fighting spirits.
Vincent looked at the four of them and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, from this moment on, we can only rely on ourselves."
"I don't know if we can complete this stage of training or whether we will make it out here alive… but, we have no way out!"
"Vincent, just tell us the plan. I can't wait to kill a few monsters!" said Chris. He was gritting his teeth and his face was full of hatred.
The others had the same expression and nodded solemnly.
"Chris will go in front, Avril will go to the left, and I'll go to the right. Nabil, be ready to release 100,000 lightning strikes at any time. Angelina, don't use your superpower just yet. That's our trump card."
No one had any objections to Vincent's arrangements.
They all lined up and groped their way forward.
Teacher Chris and Bixby walked behind. They looked at Vincent and the others and sighed.
"Teacher Chris, they're all good. If they don't partic.i.p.ate in the G.o.dslayer project now and take their time to grow, they'll still become the backbone of humanity."
"How could I not know that? But the monsters are getting stronger and stronger. There's not much time left for us."
Teacher Bixby sighed and kept quiet.
