Blade Knight Chronicles

Volume 2: Chapter 6

An hour had already passed and they are still on the road. A few of the buses are way ahead of the others but are still headed towards the destination. In the bus that Leon was in, the other students were doing their own thing, some were taking long naps, some are chatting with each other in the back, as well as a few of them playing games on their phones just to pass the time.

Leon was scrolling through his phone, either watching a video or reading a book online. Nicole was beside him sleeping, wearing an eye mask that had a panda-like design on it. While he was watching a video, Leon could feel his eyes feeling heavy and let out a little yawn. He placed his phone in his pocket as he slowly gets comfy by placing his jacket over his body like a blanket before laying his head back and closing his eyes.

About two more hours have passed, Leon was still asleep in his seat while Nicole was wide awake, looking out through the window on her side watching the view until the buses drove through a tunnel that darkened the area but had a hint of light from the street lights. As the buses reached the end of the tunnel, a sight of a huge curved building can be seen just up ahead with a giant globe at the center.

The students looked from their seats and through the windows and were surprised as they are shocked in awe the moment they saw the building. Nicole is just as excited and started taking pictures while Leon is still asleep. She took a few shots before noticing that Leon is still sleeping.

"Hey. Hey. Hey, come on. Wake up," She whispered as she tried to wake him up by tapping his shoulder lightly. "We're already here,"

Leon kind of heard her but was still too sleepy. "Just...five more minutes..." he groggily said,

Nicole shrugged and said, "Alright, fine but don't blame me for not waking you up,"

Hearing that made Leon open his eyes but he rubbed them as he was still sleepy. He stretched his arms out and realized that the buses have parked in the parking lot just outside the giant building.

Looking through the window, Leon asked, "Is this the place?"

Nicole looked at him and nodded, "Yup,"

Leon blinked twice before slowly getting up from this seat, making room for Nicole to move from her spot and walk out of the bus carrying her bag, as Leon followed her, carrying his back over his shoulder.

By the time they gathered along with the students, a lady was waiting from the main entrance to the museum and walked towards the students. "Welcome to, The Central Side International Museum," She said smiling as she greets them, "I see that all of you traveled all the way safely. My name is Helena Johansen, the head of this museum."

She then received a clipboard from her secretary, who accompanied her along the way. Helena checked the list as she looked back at the students, counting each of them one by one. Her expression changed to confusion as she looked at the list and the students back and forth.

Helena was about to comment on the matter but she sees another group of students coming from another bus. She checked her clipboard again and regains her composure before looking at all of them saying, "Okay, How bout we proceed to where you will be staying for your stay, shall we?" The students didn't seem to mind and fell in line as they followed Helena lead them to a different building which is a hotel where they'll be staying.
