54 Training Camp (1/2)
The ride on the train to district B took a full hour it was a long ride on a train for public use so it wasn't the nicest yet the scenery was. When the train passed by the towering apartment buildings, clock towers, and monuments inside district C Desmond didn't think much of it. when the train headed out of district C Desmond eyes stayed locked outside the window.
Between district C and B was hundreds of acres of farm and grassland with people working in them it wasn't that Desmond had never seen farming done before what caught his eye was the big white obelisk's scattered everywhere around the farms.
They released large amounts of magic energy over a wide area that gets soaked into the grounds. Finding out the way they increased food production was interesting for Desmond because the amount of human labor used was minimal the farming was done by golems that sent the goods off to factories to be processed. A passenger on the train even informed him that the obelisk act as a bug repellent in addition to speeding up plant growth.
Finding out what kinds of things magic could be used for made Desmond happy. His joy lasted the whole train ride to the city guard training camp where he disembarked at district B's train station which was much nicer and bigger than the ones at district D and C.
The train station had marble floors and Decorative stone columns with warriors and giants etched into them. Desmond saw this and knew immediately what it all meant ”it looks like the class divide here is much more obvious they don't even try to hide it”. Desmond looked at everyone wearing a fancy suit or dress looking as fashionable as possible like they were going to a banquet or a ballroom to dance.
Then he looked at himself wearing brown trousers, a caramel color shirt, and a pair of stucker plain shoes. Desmond had nicer clothes in his closet he just didn't feel like wearing them even if it was to fit in with the fashion trend. All those layers of cloths would just make him sweat through them then he would be forced to use his magic to dry his armpits every five minutes.
With that thought in mind, Desmond started looking around at all guys around him who are most likely dying in secret to get those constraining clothes off. While doing this Desmond started laughing at those fools going through such discomfort for the sake of fitting in. It's fine some of the times, but if you take it overboard like everyone is doing now there's simply no point.
Passing through the horde of fashionable fools Desmond arrived outside where he saw the buildings were nicer. They had a bit of resemblance to homes in the Victorian era on earth while also mixed with another style Desmond couldn't identify.
The streets were wider in district B than the other places he had been there were even more cars driving on the road. Desmond hailed a carriage that was a bit nicer than the one he had seen at district D even the coachman was dressed nicer. He didn't doddle long before he set off towards the city guards training camp.
The ride was smooth and only took another 20 minutes to arrive at the city guards' training camp. The training grounds were massive it covered a few acres and had from what Desmond could see there were 20 different brick buildings that littered the place, multiply different fields for various things, and even though Desmond wasn't at the gate he could still hear explosions.

Desmond knew he wasn't the best at taking orders or giving them, but this was necessary so he wouldn't end up torn apart again by someone like the mirror man.
Inside of the city guard's training grounds, Desmond came across a peculiar sight he knew many of the city guards were bodybuilders, but what he saw was ridiculous. There was a long row of people pulling huge warrior statues across miles on a dirt field. Each statue was about the same size as the one of Abraham Lincoln in Washington.
When Desmond saw the kind of training they were doing at the camp he started having second thoughts about joining, but eventually, he forced his butt to the main building to talk to their secret at the front.
The main building was decorated with pictures of various soldiers, medals, trophies, and the magi empire flag. Which were two swords plunging into the earth with a book open in the middle.
Desmond made his way to the counter where brunette secretary in a pants suit was sitting down talking on the phone with someone. Desmond waited a few minutes till she was done before speaking to her.
”Hello miss my name is Desmond Gillies I'm here to apply to join the Delmar city reserve unit may I know how I might go about applying and any info you may have on the unit along with potential benefits” Desmond spoke clearly with the composer of a gentleman to the woman.
