Walking through the tunnel, Arthur looked through the glass window at the outside world. It was still very dark except for the light coming from the airport. Small gushes of wind caressed his body ever-so-gently.
In the middle of the tunnel, he stopped for a mont to look at the sky outside as if he was thinking about sothing. 'There are no stars tonight.'
The sky was like a dark abyss with no light. Even the beautiful stars Arthur would see usually were not present that night. Sighing, he turned around and continued walking toward the plane door. At the end of the tunnel, he could see a female attendant waiting nervously for their arrival.
Reaching her, she quickly greeted him. "G-Good evening, sir! Please, allow to take your luggage!" She said in a wavery voice. Even as she was trying to sound respectful, she couldn't hide her fear and Arthur had a hunch as to why she was nervous.
'Her higher-ups probably told her that everyone that is going to get on this plane is extrely important and any displeasure would an Divinity Corp would be displeased and they would lose a valuable relationship with the most powerful company in the world.' He thought to himself.
Instantly, he felt sympathy toward the lady as her job and well-being were perhaps at stake at that mont. 'I understand how it feels to be under such pressure from your boss. It sucks. It's ok, hostess lady, I won't burden you. I'm too nice, after all!'
"Ehem, don't worry about it. I can carry it myself." Arthur coughed and replied.
"Eh? Please, I-I can help." For so reason, the lady started panicking even harder as she lifted her hands.
"It's really not a problem, don't worry. I can carry my own luggage." Arthur replied.
"I-I… Understood, please go ahead." She said with shaky hands.
'Why does she look even more terrified now? Did I do sothing bad?' Raising an eyebrow, Arthur pulled his luggage and started walking into the plane. However, before entering, he stopped and looked at the lady.
"Hey, don't worry. You are doing a great job. You won't lose your job." He whispered to her.
The lady was naturally shocked by his words as she blinked at him. Then, with a dazed look, she nodded her head. "T-Thank you, sir."
"That's the spirit. Just smile and do what you need to do." Arthur smiled softly and then walked in.
The interior of the plane was shockingly beautiful. It felt like he just walked into one of those expensive private jets as there were comfortable leather seats, several bedrooms, several bathrooms, a kitchen, a bar, and even a jacuzzi.
There were also several servants inside, each working on sothing different. They all welcod him in respectfully as if they were talking to a very important person. Then, he was led to his seat next to the window.
However, the window was closed for so reason so he couldn't see anything outside. 'Wow, this is sothing else. I didn't even know planes had bedrooms in them. The world of the rich is just incomprehensible.' He mused.
"Welco sir, what do you wish to drink on this fine night?" One of the servants approached him and asked with a gentle tone.
"... Uh, do you guys have orange juice?" He asked after thinking for a mont.
"Of course. Do you wish for anything else?"
"No, just orange juice. Freshly squeezed, with two teaspoons of sugar." He replied.
"Understood. Please wait a mont." The servant then walked behind the bar to prepare Arthur's drink while the latter kept looking around him.
A few minutes later, the others started walking into the airplane one after the other. They were also quite surprised by the level of luxury inside.
'I guess even the rich know that this is particularly amazing for an aircraft.' Arthur thought to himself as he sipped on his orange juice while enjoying the massaging chair.
Luckily for him, his seat was in a whole section of its own so he didn't have to co in contact with any of the other students. Especially that boy nad Jack. He knew that if they ended up eting, they would fight again and he didn't know if he could truly win such a fight if it happened.
'The first ti, it was probably the sudden punch that got him. He looks like a strong guy, I might need a few more sessions in the capsule before I can even fight him.'
Arthur knew that with each ti he used the capsule, his strength, speed, and even reflexes were improving due to the serum. With a simple calculation, he could easily reach the level of a professional fighter after a few dozen sessions or a little bit more.
"Though, I wonder when I would reach the human limit. Surely the serum can't do much about that, right? I can only expect to have the power of a fighter or a boxer at most." He muttered to himself. The serum had a magic effect, but there were certain boundaries that cannot be crossed and the human body had one.
But, he didn't imdiately rule out the possibility that the serum had a deep secret hiding within it. If it truly had one, then this matter was surely going to flip the world outside down. 'If it can break the limit of human strength, then this world will never be the sa after that day. Well, only ti will tell. For now, I'm still weak.'
As he was having his own thoughts, Mr. X walked into the plane before he ordered the hostess to close the door.
Then, Arthur heard the microphone turn on and heard a male voice. "Ladies and gentlen, good evening. Welco on board the Blue Crest flight. This is Captain John speaking and I have so information about our flight. Our flight ti today will be… Undisclosed and our estimated ti of arrival is also… Undisclosed. So, please relax and enjoy your stay."
'Undisclosed? Why even bother to say it then? He really was put in such a tough position.' Arthur chuckled to himself as he closed his eyes. A few monts later, he heard the engines turn on and the plain turbos started turning.
Then, the aircraft started moving slowly on the runway before eventually ascending to the sky.
Arthur couldn't see the outside or how high they were but he still felt rather calm. 'Well, I wished to have an emotional mont looking at the city from up above before bidding it farewell. But, eh, I hate this city, so screw that.'
Eventually, the plane reached a very high altitude and finally stabilized. The journey toward the unknown island has begun. After spending so ti in his chair, Arthur decided to go to his assigned room.
The servants had already shown him where he was to sleep. However, he still hasn't checked the place yet.
'It's the perfect ti to sleep since the trip might take several hours.' He thought to himself as he opened the door to his room, only to be surprised by what he saw.
Right inside, next to his bed was sothing very familiar.
"Is that… My capsule?" Arthur frowned. "Huh? How did they bring it on here?"
