25 Going around Dusty Zephyr Island (2/2)
”These are all the places you need to know at present. The classroom, training tower and the assembly hall are the only places you will need to visit. Everyone collect your private Flying Cloud from me.”
Fran took many small flying clouds and distributed to all the kids. The kids were excited as if they were gifted a unique toy. The flying cloud was like a big cotton candy. Though it looked very fragile and flexible it was actually very strong.
Even Quinn wasn't able to tear it apart let alone other kids. Fran saw the kids who were playing with the Flying cotton without any surprise or shock as he sees such scenes every year.
”Your School Ring will be updated with the class timings, School map and Dusty Zephyr Island map. You are free to explore the island but there are many forbidden and restricted area where you would lose your life if stepped into it carelessly.”
”One more thing your Flying cloud can only carry one person so don't try anything funny. Okay this is the end of today's class see you tomorrow. Report to the class as per the timings given to you.
The fog around the island will automatically clear, all you guys must do is show your school ring.”
Then Fran turned around and walked into the old building leaving behind the students who were shocked and stunned. These kids were standing in the middle of nowhere with a brand new vehicle, which they didn't know how to start much less use it to return to the dormitory.
All students were panicked and flustered as they were again left behind by their teacher. Since they saw Fran entering the old building they rushed to the door and knocked it.
But no one responded the whole building was eerily silent like ghost house, after knocking for some time a student shouted for his teacher even then Fran didn't come out.
Though the kids were confused and slightly scared they did not cry or make a fuss like the last time as some smart kids understood that this was some sort of test given to them.
Moreover, the Flying Cloud was like a new toy so the students were enthusiastic to discover its secrets. Afterward many of them tried to start the Flying cloud. They ordered it like other devices but it didn't respond; some tried to stand on the cloud;
One idiot even tried to drip a drop of blood because of over-enthusiasm he bitted his figure deeply ad cried from pain.
Quinn was amused seeing their childish attempts and felt like he was entered some playschool back on earth. Though Quinn felt that their attempts were stupid but he copied what they did instead of criticizing them.
He was sure that their teacher was watching them and he didn't want to attract Fran's attention. Quinn remained low-key as he was aware that the tallest tree will have most broken branches.
After few hours the kids got tired and lost their interest on flying clouds as their tries were all meaningless. Moreover, they were all hungry; some desperate students even banged the doors, forgetting their manners.
Quinn wasn't affected and he stayed calm, earlier he thought of consoling his roommate but then decided against as it was their test. Seeing the commotion Quinn was tempted to calm them and put their heads together to find a way out.
