Chapter 404: Entering the Real Academy
Just as the professors had stated, it was not long before a young nurse entered the room and a set of clothes in her hands. She placed them on the bed after giving a few instructions. Once he was changed, Gary would come out of the room, and she would lead him to a bus waiting for him.
When picking up the clothes, Gary noticed that they weren't the clothes he was wearing earlier. Instead, they looked more like a type of uniform. The shirt was tight fitting, similar to a sports shirt. It was mainly yellow in colour with a few white details here and there. Turning the shirt around, he saw a large white circle on the back with yellow letters with a black outline saying AFA.
'Is this what I think it is?!' Gary held it up in the air to make sure. 'It's the AFA uniform! The one fighters actually use! That's why the material is stretchy, has the cooling ability, and is also quite resistant to certain attacks.'
Gary used his strength to stretch the shirt to test this, and the results came out to his liking. When he let go, it went back to its initial shape. But, of course, he didn't use his full strength because right now, these were the only clothes he had.
When he put it on, the shirt came out a perfect fit for him, and they had even provided him with some shorts to match the top. It reminded him a little of his rugby days, but this was far more prideful to wear.
All the worries he had before seemed to have vanished as soon as he put on the shirt. The fabric was soft against the skin, and when he threw out a couple of punches and kicks, he was even more satisfied with this uniform when he found no restrictions in his movement.
'I wonder if I can take one of these back with me and have Kai make the gang uniform from this kind of material? They can analyse this, right?' Gary wondered.
Finally, after delaying enough, Gary decided to step out the door and face whatever was to come in the coming days. He had come up with a semi-solution to solve his problem in the next two days, and he was hoping not to come across those who would agitate him during that time.
The nurse was waiting for him when he exited the room, and Gary shyly handed over the robes he was wearing.
"You could have just left those in the room, you know." She chuckled but took them anyway while walking to the bus.
To Gary's surprise, waiting just outside the bus was someone that Gary had seen before but didn't know too well. It was one of the teachers during the assessment, the well-built, man who wore a tight-fitting black shirt.
"It's nice to meet you, Gary. You have been quite the trouble maker during your time in the facility, I hear. But nevertheless, after our last encounter, I knew we would meet again." The man smiled. "The name is Eddy, and I'm one of the teachers you'll see more frequently."
The teacher seemed friendly enough, which was a good sign, but Gary now had this subconsciousness not to trust anyone he met for the first time. It was somewhat like how Numba was on the first day.
After getting on the bus, Gary noticed it drove past the facility, which was a good sign. They eventually arrived at the main academy where Gary had taken the original assessment. It was enormous, like a university. Even though the place didn't have many students, it didn't lack any facilities for people to use, which was why there were so many buildings.
"First, I'll give you a tour of the place, so you can see everything we have," Eddy stated.
Gary followed Eddy, and as they walked past each building, the latter explained how there were different teachers in different facilities that would teach him various things, from fighting to survival. For example, an entire building was dedicated to the fighters' dietary requirements. Every Altered was different, so it was quite the specialist treatment they had.
At the same time, they would teach students about their diet so they could take the information for themselves outside of the AFA. There were also massage rooms, infirmaries and a whole section where AFA students would learn about Altereds.
Then there was a large oval building, randomly plotted. It looked highly secure as if even a missile could not break it.
"That is a new facility that we are building. It should be ready soon, but we cannot enter now. Anyway, let's head somewhere else."
Eddy had a smile on his face as he said those words. Gary noticed the area they were heading to, and according to Eddy, this was where sparring matches would be organised.
There were octagon rings just like in the real AFC matches, and it also had many more training facilities than other buildings. The two soon stepped into a large room through a pair of double doors, and in the next instant, Gary found his eyes glued to the octagon ring in front of him.
'Wow, it's just like it is on TV, and all the equipment, and..and.'
Gary paused for a second when he noticed a few familiar people sitting on the bench.
"Gary!" Numba called over as he stood up and rushed over to him. "You're okay? You're really okay?! It looks like you finally made it!"
Numba was wearing the yellow uniform just like Gary, and seeing this, a smile appeared on Gary's face. It looked like even without Gary, Numba had managed to make it through.
"I can see the look on your face, but I wasn't the only one that passed." When moving, Gary could see Sty sitting on the bench with his arms folded, but other than him, there were Ian and Izzy as well.
Although Numba's presence made sense, he was more surprised to see those two here.
"It was a special request," Numba explained. "Due to what happened, they were asked if there was anything they wanted, and they said they wanted to go through to the real academy...and now they're here. So we're all here together!"
Gary never thought this would be the case, but it seemed like their set of dire circumstances had worked out for them.
"What a great reunion, but that's not why you are all here," Eddy interrupted with the same smile as before. It was clear he had something planned.
