"Okay, this is as far as I take you, I have to get to the academy grounds before tomorrow." Steve said to Xenon as they reached a harbour at the edge of the island.
In the distance, just a few steps away from them a giant wooden boat with no sails, oars or steering wheel stood perfectly still on the water, not swaying or rocking even as people climbed onto it occasionally. Steve led him to the boat and he boarded it, joining the handful of teenagers already on board.
"I guess I’ll see you on the academy the next ti et." Steve said to Xenon as the boat was preparing to depart.
"I guess so, see ya." Xenon replied. Steve waved and jogged back into the island, when he was just almost out of sight, he glanced back, grinned at Xenon as his body surged with blue lightning.
The charge of lightning ford a circle and the radius increased to just completely encompass his body in a circle of lightning and then the circle imploded, Steve vanishing with it.
"He could teleport?" Xenon muttered, his jaws hanged in shock.
The boat shuddered, giving everyone a scare as this was the first ti it showed any form of movent, Xenon moved away from the edge to the middle of the boat.
’I’d rather not go for a swim.’ He muttered.
The boat was big enough and the passengers just enough to make everyone move freely without having shove each other.
’We are more than 450 on board and there’s this much space, just what was this boat designed to carry.’ Xenon mused.
"Ahem!" A buffed middle aged man with slightly greying brown hair –and light beard– stood at the bow of the giant boat, facing the passengers, he made sure everyone focused on him before continuing.
"If you are here on this boat, I believe you are aspiring for a spot in the list of students to be admitted to the Askesis academy this year, if you are here with any other intentions, or have boarded this ship by mistake or error, please get off now before we depart!" The man announced, his eyes darting around the crowd which started to stir, a little amount of people –most of who got on to see their friends/relatives off– got of the boat, once the crowd started to settle down he addressed them again.
"I believe those of you left here are the ones who are willing to participate in the entrance examination?" He asked, everyone responded positively, so nodded their heads, so said a fairly audible ’Yes’, while so others did both.
"Okay then, I am Captain Rogers! Would you all kindly find a place to sit or hold on to as we depart for the examination site... I am afraid I cannot tell you where we are headed until we get there." He added the last part when a teenager sporting white hair and pale skin raised his hand to ask as question.
’Ah, just great, he has a bunch of children in his giant boat and is taking us into the middle of the ocean without telling us our destination, if not for the fact that he isn’t offering us candy this would have definitely been a kidnapping.’ Xenon said inwardly.
Of course it was none other than Xenon who raised his hand to ask a question, but the captain of the boat answered as if reading his mind. Everyone scrambled to get a seat on the captain’s order, people were colliding with each other more often now.
Xenon found a perfect place to seat at the stern, his seat gave him a full view of the boat while drawing almost no attention to him. A scarf appeared in his hand materializing from thin air –of course he took it from his inventory. He tied the scarf around his head, covering his hair that was bound to draw attention to him if left open.
Captain Rogers stood at the bow of the boat watching as everyone settled in, once they were all seated he turned around facing the open ocean, he put his hand on the rim and muttered so words, spiritual energy flowing from his hands into the ship, his action caused the network of runes embedded into the boat to glow in blue for a few seconds and the boat to shudder once more.
The glow of runes caused the crowd to stir in awe, but the excitent was short lived as it beca drowned in the excited whispers the crowd produced as the boat started to move, barely unnoticeable at first but then it beca more pronounced as the boat moved faster and faster, at so point a bluish aura surrounded the boat and it seed to stop moving to the passengers, but the ship was actually moving very fast and the bluish aura was protecting them from being blown off the ship.
"I’m definitely gonna race this thing one day." Xenon muttered in excitent as he could slightly feel the speed at which the boat was moving due to his ability. ’Status’
