Chapter 36: Entrance Exam[1]
5th August 1648, Ether City.
In the bustling train station, numerous people were walking around, entering their platform or exiting the station.
Noctis walked out of his train, noticing the large crowd rushing around along with several guards who were maintaining the order here.
Navigating through the bustling crowd, Noctis skillfully maneuvered his way towards the exit, deftly squeezing past the throngs of people. Noctis insisted on traveling alone, which is why no one was with him when he arrived at the Ether city alone.
Noctis scanned the area before he pulled out his mobile, opening the notification he received earlier.
Clara: Where are you?
Clara: Did you arrive at the station yet or not?
Quickly typing out a reassuring message to Clara, Noctis stopped a cab that was just about to leave.
"Excuse me, there seems to be an empty seat. Can I come along?" He asked the cab driver, who looked at the person beside him.
In the passenger seat sat a black-haired boy of the same age as him, his dark blue eyes glancing at him.
Looking back, he saw a long, black-haired girl staring at her mobile, letting out giggles to herself. He noticed the resemblance between them; they were twins.
