Chapter 12: Scheme
Hal felt tense. For some reason the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
It was so sudden. While he thought Neris was a bit chatty, when the instructor suddenly stopped talking to him, the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Hal felt like he was walking on pins and needles.
Finally the instructor stopped. He raised his hand and touched the dome. His hand passed through the barrier. He slowly stepped out of the restriction and put Bram on the ground.
"You guys, come out," he said, beckoning them to follow him.
Neris happily rushed towards the barrier. They didn't stop him and just let him be the test subject.
BAAM!
Neris bounced off the barrier like a tennis ball. Looking at Neris clutching his head and wailing in pain, they couldn't help but hiss.
The instructor sighed. He sounded exhausted. He walked back inside the barrier and pulled Neris up. He looked at the rest and said, "Come, hold onto me."
They held onto the instructor's shirt. They followed him and passed through the barrier.
Now standing outside the plaza, they felt that it was unreal.
