Chương 10: Eastsea City
Eastsea City.
This was the second largest seaside city in the Sun-Moon Federation. Its main feature was its port, which served as a nexus for travelling the seas and exploiting the resources of the ocean.
The city had a population of over three million people. By exploiting the natural resources in the ocean, the city was able to prosper. Even when compared to the rest of the Sun-Moon Federation, it could still be considered a second-tier city.
Eastsea City had a long history and its overall appearance had preserved its original state of a simple and unadorned style. In the last several hundred years, the Sun-Moon Federation had taken extra care to protect some of the more ancient buildings. Thus, many of the millennia old buildings could be found in this ancient city.

Eastsea City soul train station.
A dark blue soul train slowly entered the station and came to a stop.
In Eastsea City, nearly all of the soul trains were blue in color.
After coming to a stop, the train's doors opened up, letting the people onboard off. Many people greeted each other but after a moment, the station returned to its usual hustle and bustle as people headed towards the exit.
Gloxinia tightly held onto his rucksack as he followed the stream of people towards the exit. This was the first time he had ever been to such a major city in this world so his curious gaze was wandering all over the place.
The train station's ceiling was constructed from a bunch of metal tubes. With a glance, Gloxinia could tell that the archetecture in major cities such as this one was much better than that of a small city like Glorybound City. One could even say it was approaching the level earth had reached before his transmigation.
Gloxinia's expression wasn't too good and he seemed rather gloomy.
He had just realized that he was a bit too outstanding, there was no way he would end up in class 5 with 28 soul power. After all, that type of talent is extremely hard to come by.
As he thought about what he could do to interact with the main cast, which he did want to do because he used to be their fans after all, who wouldn't want to meet their favorite fictional characters?
Realizing that he could meet the characters when class zero begins, Gloxinia cheers up a bit. But, at this moment, the stream of people, suddenly split in two, giving Gloxinia a clear look at a polished black soul car that was parked on the platform. The stream of people had split in order to avoid this car.
Although he didn't recognize what type of car this was, he could tell from its exterior that it was absolutely high class. The body of the car was slender and sleek, its four wheels had caterpillar tracks on them. It seems it was an all-terrain vehicle.
Beside the car doors stood two men in black suits who were peering into the crowd.
When Gloxinia neared the car, the two men found their target. One of the men walked in Gloxinia's direction with large strides and respectfully called out, "Young Master!"
Naturally, this address wasn't directed at Gloxinia. While he was looking around for this young master, a youth strode out from behind him.
This youth looked to be about the same age from his appearance. He was dressed in blue from head to toe and had short brown hair. When Gloxinia turned around to look, the youth had already walked past his side, so Gloxinia was only able to catch a glimpse of the side of his face.
Fair white skin, a straight nose, eyes that were slightly sunken in, long eyelashes that curled up slightly and eyes that were deep green in color. This was most likely one of the main-side characters in Soul Land 3, Xie Xie.
Right at that moment, a young boy from beside Gloxinia was pushed from the side and stumbled into that Xie Xie's shoulder. This boy was Tang Wulin, who happened to take the same train as him.
Staggering backwards from the collision, Xie Xie caught himself and abruptly turned towards Tang Wulin. Xie Xies expression soured, but after a glance, he continued walking towards the soul car. His expression wasn't one of indifference to his offender, rather, it was one of disdain.
"My apologies!" Tang Wulin hastily said.
The man who had stepped forward to greet his young master raised his hand and pushed Tang Wulin away, back into the crowd, nearly causing him to fall over.
"Be careful you hick." The man in black said fiercely before following the youth to the car.
The other man in black opened the car door for the young master with one hand, while the other rested on top of the door.
Xie Xie didn't turn back even once, and directly entered the car. The two men in black quickly entered and started the soul engine, which let out a muffled rumbling sound before the black soul car drove off.
Gloxinia stared at this scene with dumbfounded eyes, although he remembered Xie Xie being arrogant at the start of the story he didn't think he was a huge dick too..
Turning to look at the fallen and distraught Tang Wulin, Gloxinia headed towards him and offered him his hand.
Tang Wulin, taking it, stands up and awkwardly scratches the back of his head, "Sorry you had to see that haha, thank you though."
Kindly responding to him, Gloxinia says, "No problems, that's what classmates do right?"
"You're right! If you need help anytime just come and ask me for help!" Hurriedly agreeing with him, Tang Wulin doesn't forget to offer to repay the favor of Gloxinia helping him up and runs off towards the exit of the train station.
Gloxinia followed the stream of people which dispersed after leaving the train station,
When he turned around to look, he only saw these words plastered on a sign: Eastsea Soul Train Station.
As he looked at this huge structure that was the train station, Tang Wulin couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Compared to the largest building in Glorybound City, this train station was even more grand.
He turned back around and surveyed his surroundings. Reflected in his eyes was a wide street with many skyscrapers off in the distance. All kinds of soul cars could be seen on the streets as the constantly sped about. The stream of people was simply bustling with activity. This all combined together to give one a feeling of constriction.
Fumbling around through his rucksack, Gloxinia takes out a map that shows directions to some important locations in Eastsea City.
One of them being the bus station to get to Eastsea Academy. Following the directions on the map, Gloxinia ran over.
When he was around the general location of it, he looked around and saw a crowd of people. Thinking that might be the bus station place he goes there.
Sure enough, after passing through the crowd of people, Gloxinia saw a sign with white words on a blue background that said: Eastsea Academy.
Under the sign was a chair, and behind the chair were several 17 to 18-year-old youths in blue sportswear.
When they saw Gloxinia walk over, a black haired girl smiled and said, "Little brother, are you here to report?"
The black haired girl had a pair of red phoenix eyes, a moderate build and a sweet appearance that gave a feeling of warmth.
