Thawing Ice

( The next morning ) 

Sharp at 6, Max and Asiva wore full body armour and equipped their weapons as they started to sprint down the hallways of Dorm Wing D. 

Apparently they were not the only ones who had the idea to start early, as there were thousands already heading out towards the open forest, but still considerably less compared to the sheer size of the total student population, about ten thousand at best.

70% of those ten thousand who had left their dorm rooms early seemed to be heading towards the shuttle terminal, which was about 500 metres from the dorm area.

" Idiots " muttered Max as he saw them queue up behind the shuttle spot, pulling and pushing each other to come to the front of the queue. 

It was funny to hear the insults that they were hurling at each other, because the insults itself told Max that they were from upper echelons of society by how sophisticated their curses sounded.
