92 Flying Trees (2/2)

”I feel like we should just finish the wall. We'll spread around the island a bit and take trees from everywhere. At least that way the island won't look bad, not to mention we could just say they're different training areas,” Lachlan said as he shrugged his shoulder.

”Yeah, we can have training areas under different gravity. And the test the students will have to go through to reach the next area will be travelling to their next area, that way their bodies will be able to handle the gravity there,” Brianna explained happily.

”We could also create caves in the mountain and have them be special training rooms, where only the strongest of students are allowed to train,” Georgia suggested.

”What will we do once those students adapt to that level of gravity though?” Chloe asked.

”I suppose that'll be their graduation, once they reach the level where they can handle the gravity in the caves they'll graduate,” Lachlan explained.

Although no one said it aloud everyone was thinking about it. The real reason they would get the students to graduate once they adapt to the caves is that they don't want other forces becoming too strong because of them.

They would only allow someone to stay longer and continue to train if they sign a contract. One which forces them to work for them while they train. As for the finer details they aren't too sure about it.

After all. Some forces could send their soldiers to train under the island's gravity and get some super soldiers by the end of it. That'll be rather dangerous, especially if those forces don't have any nice intentions behind them.

After the small conversation, the group went back to work. Ripping the trees up from the ground and creating a sturdy wall for protection. As there was another reason for creating the wall. Tsunamis.

Although they've never experienced a tsunami during the time they've spent on the island that doesn't mean one won't come. They have experienced an earthquake while on the island, granted it wasn't a strong one and they were most likely on the outskirts of the earthquake's effect.

Or, now that they think about. It could be entirely because they aren't actually connected to the ground. Which meant that the only way for them to feel an earthquake is to have the ground beneath them fling upwards and smashed against the bottom of the island.

Which actually made their situation slightly more dangerous. Since they couldn't be certain when an earthquake happens they won't have any warning for when a tsunami strikes. Fortunately, after taking away the gravity stones the trees weighed hundreds of tones.

...

After spending the day ripping trees out of the ground and creating a wall the ground finally went back to the centre. Zoe and Georgia were there relaxing, they had a list of names in the hand for everyone that wanted to be employed.

Chloe went up to them and asked, ”So where's Flynn and Simon?”

Joe looked up at Chloe and shrugged his shoulders, ”I don't know, they haven't come back yet.”

Chloe began to worry. Although she knew legal work could take a while, spending an entire day is a little bit too long.

She then turned around at the faint sound of a bird flapping its wings. In the distance was Simon and Flynn flying on top of Storm. But once they got closer Chloe's concerns were justified.

Flynn had a black eye and a couple of bruises on his arm. Simon looked rather fine but that was just because of the amount of strength he had. It was likely that a fight broke out, Flynn might have been hit by something or someone strong.

Chloe knew that Flynn actually had a decent amount of strength from eating the berries. Which mean the opponent had to be pretty strong.

When Storm finally reached the ground Simon helped Flynn off and onto the ground. Chloe came running over and grabbed onto Flynn's face, inspecting it thoroughly before moving on to the rest of the body.

When she finally finished inspecting he stood back up, ”Who attacked you?”

”It was the Land Guardians,” Flynn answered with a tone of anger.

”But they shouldn't be allowed to attack us anymore, they have no right to since we're no long traitors,” Lachlan said angrily.

”Well we got into a bit of a scuffle since they used rather shady moves that provoked us,” Simon said angrily from the side. His fist was clenched rather hard. ”Seems those Land Guardians never change, they like to abuse their power just to get what they want.”
