Abyss
#15
The next day, the promised exam time had arrived. Those 4 students who managed to pass had already gathered and were ready to take the next exam. "The final test site will be held in the Main Building, we will show you the way" said one of the waiters who had been waiting on the green expanse.
Ever Lens Main Building is very majestic and tall, has a tower with a taper end identical to Gothic architecture. The decoration is made in great detail, a building that truly illustrates the aesthetics of the ancient building itself.
"We can only get here" said the waiter as he reached the very large door, the entrance to the Main Building.
Inside, the interior looks so magnificent and spacious, large windows like a palace, the pointed arch of each pillar that holds the weight of the ceiling design gives it added value to the beauty. Although the lighting in the room seems dark and shabby, it does not reduce its beauty.
Enma, looks beauty without any expression like a princess whose world is created from a blob of ice block is very cold, Monk who is still wearing a mask standing behind him, Xeon sat on the stairs while busy with her smartphone, while a foreign male figure stood between them, she was named Neta. Among the four of them, only Monk and Neta were wearing masks.
"Ahhhh, it's finally over as well" Neta opened a conversation.
"Hi Enma, can you smile welcoming our new member?" Serve it so familiarly.
"You are also Xeon, is there nothing interesting besides smartphones?"
"Be quiet, don't bother me" replied one called Xeon.
After giving enough greetings, Neta then faced the 4 students who were in front of her, "Why are you still wearing masks, this exam is over, you are now officially part of the Revitalize Guild."
“...” The students were hesitant about what they heard.
"Welcome, meet me Neta, I was assigned to make a mess when you took this test. I was the provocateur until the start of the commotion at the first test.”
“Creating chaos seems to be my talent. Ha ha ha ha." Neta laughs.
Neta, he was someone who provoked a ruckus for all the students to cheer on the first exam, he was also the one who gave up on not being able to answer on the second exam, he was also the one who gave up on the second exam, and he's also the one who lured students to turn away from seeing the stage of yesterday's murder.
"Why are you still wearing masks, how can we know each other like this" he said again friendly, unlike other members who look quiet.
"We can't believe it, what about the third exam?" asked one of the students, from her voice, she was a girl.
"Ah right too, maybe that's why you don't want to take off the mask, why don't I think about it?" said wondering.
Neta then explained about what happened, "Yesterday's performance was her final test. Revitalize only needs members who have a strong determination, unlike those whose courage is lost simply by seeing a terrible death."
"Enma yesterday was really sadistic, why did you enjoy it so much? It was only natural that Xeon would have to leave because she didn't dare to see it." Neta tried to joke.
"Isn't that Xeon?" Continue with a charming expression.
"Be quiet, I'm not afraid, but there's something I'm doing, "Xeon dodges with reason, whereas Enma doesn't reply to anything.
After quite a thaw, Neta refocused on their new official members, "Are you going to take off the mask you're wearing now?" said ask.
Still, even though Neta had explained everything, there was doubt in their hearts, except for one person. He was Nine, the first to take off his mask, his red eyes looking glowing, attracting the attention of those who were looking.
“Red eyes, is it original?” Neta asked quite seriously, while Enma seemed to hold her hand tightly.
“Is there anything special with these eyes?” Nine asked, neither panic nor anxiety.
“No, it's just that those eyes remind me of someone.” Neta answered.
"Don't forget that, what's your name?" neta asked and returned with a friendly expression.
"Nine, that's all. "
"It seems you're quite mysterious. All right, welcome to Revitalize Nine" he said with a smile. But there are things that make the curiosity especially those new members, what is the meaning of red eyes that mean Neta?
After Nine introduced himself, one by one then followed.
1. Qeela La Zenta
He talked a little about himself, but he was the son of one of the biggest mine owners.
Other than names, nothing is said.
3. The Seya Aura Zesta
He is the son of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical company owners. He also said, since childhood he has learned a lot about drugs, both herbal and chemical.
"Alright, I hope we can become familiar. If I get sick, I think I can come to you, Seya?” Neta smiled trying to get more familiar.
“Sure,” Seya smiled.
"And if I'm looking for some rare materials, can I call you, Qeela?" Neta says.
"you can pay for it" Qeela replied. "Sure" Neta said with a smile.
"And Ezair, I know you're the son of the Venosa family. Maybe you can get on good terms with Enma," Hearing such a thing from Neta, Ezair's expression seemed to change, revealing an angry expression, "You seem to be talking too much," Ezair showed his dislike.
"ha ha ha, okay, I'm sorry." Neta.
"I'm not interested in people like him," Enma suddenly replied to what Neta said.
In such a situation, Neta really looked confused, willing to refute Enma but it seemed like she did not dare, whereas Ezair was just fixated, looking at her who did not dare to speak.
After creating such an atmosphere, Enma then left and Monk who was behind followed. Not only that, Xeon who was busy with her smartphone also left, except Neta who stayed, “I think with this introduction is over,” he said.
"Alright, now we will proceed to the next discussion, since you are now officially part of Revitalize, your mission is to reach level 100. There's a lot you can get when you get to that level." Neta gives instructions.
"What if we can't achieve it, will we be expelled or will there be a penalty?" Qeela asked.
"Just relax, there's no such punishment. When you become a member, you will not be bound by rules. Punishment is obviously non-existent, unless you break the absolute rules of the Guild."
Neta then continued her explanation, "The reason why I told you to reach level 100 is because it is a requirement to enter the Abyssal Tower, something amazing waiting there, like great artifacts, like, not even a few people believe, the peak of the Abyssal Tower holds the mystery of the history of the origin of humans."
"You know, when the Abyss was first discovered, the Abyssal Tower was already there, no one knew who built this tower, not even a human had ever seen the top, no one had ever seen the top, even if you have to use the most advanced technology in the world."
"Are you not curious about the secrets stored on it, many people believe, that's where the gods live and the man who made it to the top will be made king of this world."
"At least that's what's written on the entrance gate of the Abyssal Tower."
"Maybe you also want to question where the other members of Revitalize are and why only four people you see, the answer is because they are in the Abyssal Tower and some are in the other Country."
"Gifts for those who can reach Level 100 will be given freedom to get out as much as possible from this Country, then if you want to complete the Quest then you can get it from the Abyss System without having to come to the Center Point Hall."
"Wouldn't it be fun to be free to do anything without being bound by a rule?"
After listening enough to all of Neta's explanations, Ezair suddenly asked, "Lantas, what is Revitalize's purpose?"
"Reaching the top of the Abyssal Tower might be one of them, but the truth is to have fun and be the best, does this satisfy you?"
“...” Silence without understanding.
In closing, Neta concludes "Well this meeting we'll end, you can go around wherever you want, except for a few other members' privacy spots."
"Because this place is so vast, you will be given territory that belongs to you. You are free to do whatever you want.”
"If you need funds, you can get them on the Abyss System in the Guild Menu section."
"And lastly, one of the hallmarks of Revitalize is to have a mask. Please submit the mask motif you want to make,"
"Hopefully you can be comfortable in Revitalize"
