This place was about the basement level of the old school building, I looked around a little to make sure, looked at the entrance above, it was about five meters away from here, and it was not at all possible with the power of a human jump, and I gave up the idea of returning the way I came, and I looked around again, it was pitch black, and the road was not wide, it was a gloomy place.

But at the moment, there is only one way to go to the basement passage, and there will probably be a staircase and other way to the upper floor, which is the old school building after all, but I have never been to the unlucky person who collapsed here because I was chased and killed, and then stepped on the old floor and collapsed here, that is, me.

I used the light of my phone to move on, walked straight along the passage, and after walking for some distance, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, and I hesitated a little and decided to move towards the passage on the left. As I continued walking, in the corner of there, suddenly a shining object appeared in front of my eyes.

I didn't know what it was, but curiosity drove me to the glowing object, and when I looked closely, it was a stone, a shining stone.

Why does the stone glow in the dark basement, is it a luminous stone or something? I don't understand it right now, but the light of the stone draws me closer.

The closer it gets, the brighter the light it spreads. It's a blue-yellow light, and the color seems to change subtly every time it shines, not @ one @ this @ read - novel xstxt knows what's going on? Curiosity and mystical fear completely prevailed over the latter, and I don't know why I reached over and touched the surface of the stone.

When I touched it, I felt an inexplicable feeling, it must have been the feeling of a stone, right? I'm a little confused? Silently watched, suddenly, there was a sense of jumping in the stone, the sense of vitality of life, like a heart beating slightly, the surface of the stone is indeed very hard, what's going on... Is it a delusion? When I thought about it, my palm was eroded by the light, and it seemed to shine together.

The stone, which was a little bigger than a basketball, centered on the palm of my hand, poured into my palm like a liquid substance.

It is true that the water flows downward, but the palm of my hand should not be a channel for flowing water, nor is it the sea, so what is going on?

“… Hmm" I felt something abnormal in my body due to the influx of energy.

A wonderful feeling rippled through me, an indescribable feeling, as if I had been invaded by something, and the light suddenly spread out from my body, like a moment of flowers blooming, and my body suddenly flashed with an inexplicable dazzling brilliance.

I couldn't help but reach out to cover my eyes, and then the light disappeared after a few seconds.

The basement was covered in darkness again, I looked left and right at my body, I didn't find anything abnormal, I did a little stretching, nothing changed, I looked at the hand, there was no feeling that the hole had been opened in the hand, I walked a few steps, and it was still the same as usual.

“……”

After staying for a while, I decided to find a way to get out of here first. Then he continued to walk towards the front of the passage, and after a short distance, he finally came to the front of a staircase.

Climbing the stone steps, I reached the first floor of the old school building, and I cautiously stepped into the old wooden floor to avoid sinking again, and slowly walked towards the gate in front of me.

I walked to the door, reached out and opened the door, and looked out in the direction of the back door of the old school building. Walked out the back door and walked around the old school building to the main entrance, where there was no longer a single person nearby.

The mecha that chased me to the door of the old school building has also disappeared, after all, after a while, the red-haired man has given up and gone home.

After confirming, I walked towards the passage openly, preparing to go home from school, of course. However, on the second walk to the narrow passage, there was another figure standing in the center of it.

This time, it was not the red-haired man who stood in front of him, but a middle-aged uncle with sunglasses who seemed to be slightly chubby, wearing a black shirt and a pair of brown pants.

The passage was not spacious, and the uncle was in the middle, and his eyes under the sunglasses seemed to be looking at me, as if he was looking for something to do with me.

"Previous students, I have a few words I want to tell you, can you make it convenient?" The sunglasses uncle said and began to walk towards here.

"What's the matter?"

I asked, the man in front of me looking a little suspicious. I don't know if I'm going to have some trouble going forward.

"Can you call that out?"

"That?"

"This is it."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger to the sky, and I looked there, and I could see that there was a stream of air condensing above Uncle Sunglasses' head, and in the blink of an eye, the air turned into a giant, about the same height as the natural-shaped mecha I had seen earlier. Anyway, it's about ten feet, but this time it's a guy floating in mid-air.

"It's—" I was a little surprised

"You must have come into contact with a particular stone just now, it's called the Primordial Stone, and those who are possessed by that stone will get this kind of power." He said so

Not long ago, after touching a strange stone in the basement, he became one with his body.

"That's true, but why do you know?" I wondered

"I'm a searcher, looking around the world for people like you, and I'm going to tell you what this stone is all about. It's not just me, there are many in other areas, because when the original stone and the person who was selected by the original stone merge, there will be a special energy fluctuation, and the range of that fluctuation is very large, so I found you. Uncle Sunglasses explained by touching his sunglasses

“… yes, that's a bit complicated. ”

I understood what he was saying, and then fell silent. In other words, the rough stone can evoke the floating giant above the uncle's head.

Wouldn't I be able to do something similar to him at this moment?

Thinking so, the ground next to us began to shake slightly, and after a moment it collapsed, and a huge arm stretched out from the land, and a strange creature with humanoid blue and yellow skin crawled out of the land.

"Oh... Did you do it, yours is the ground shape that comes out of the ground, and there are many other types, but it's too much trouble to explain those... You can realize it for yourself later. ”

"......" doesn't talk about it halfway, it's really a guy who makes people feel angry.

So the two of us were silent for a moment: "Compared to this, you can show me your student ID." ”

"Student ID?"

"You're a student, if you don't bring it, I'll go home with you to pick it up." It's not a strange thing, I'm going to sign you up next, go to that mecha training academy, don't you want to go? ”

"Mecha Academy? What is that? ”

"I've been in the countryside for a long time, don't you know mecha, that's the world's most advanced technology now, don't you want to go there to see it?"

I want to go and see it, and I think to myself, I still know a lot about the Mecha Academy through the Internet and TV.

The mech doesn't feel very good to me, though, because it takes something from me.

But now it appeared in front of my eyes, as if it was a chance.

To go or not to go, if you think about it, I should need some opportunities now to take a new step forward.

"I see, I have my student ID with me." With that, I took my student ID out of my pocket and handed it to the sunglasses uncle.

He looked at it, scanned it through a tiny scanner, and returned his student ID to me.

"It's okay, this is the contact number of the mecha academy, if there is anything you don't understand, just call and ask." Uncle Sunglasses said and handed over a business card. Plus a note about the Mecha Academy and a notice of admission.

"Is that so, so I can go tomorrow?"

"Well, if nothing else."

“… Is it?"

"Good luck then." The uncle in sunglasses said casually, waved his hand, jumped onto the giant floating in mid-air, and flew away on it.
