“aak aaak aaak aaacckkk” the seabirds flying resting around whistling like a music on the background
At every breath Lex can smell the thick salt water smell, wind times to times blowing strongly around the area.
Lex now standing on the high ground, looking at the big port below, there's a huge a humongous ship anchored there, not far from the port Lex can see a very crowded fish market
“haa~~” Lex sighed “I did not expect this at all”

Let's turn back the time one week ago
It was the next day after Lex accepted Uncle Paul proposal, after dinner Lex was once again called into Paul study room
“Lex, I've found the place for you to learn the skill and technique”
“wow” Lex shouted like a child, no wonder it's gonna be his first time studying real martial arts like skill
I don't know if they already prepared this before or already expected it, but seriously they work very fast
“and here it is” then Paul gave Lex a small book and a piece of paper
While wondering what is that Lex accept it easily….
Huh!? Passport… and Flight ticket!? What the hell!?
While hiding his shocked state “umm, Uncle what is this?” Lex said
“passport and flight ticket” Paul replied while looking at Lex his gaze as if asking Lex ( can't you see by looking at it? )
Kugh! I know what that thing is! What I want to know is for what reason your giving this sh*t to me!!!
“no, what I mean is-” when Lex tried to explain what he really wanted to ask
Paul cut his words with a laughing “ahahah”
“sorry, it's just a joke, but you easily get agitated now I can read like an opened book, it's like a different person from the one who's negotiated with me yesterday”
“ha~” Lex sighed and gave Paul a shrug “it's different from yesterday, public is public, private is private, there's no way you act the same way to Uncle family and with your subordinate in work right…”
“now you said it, that's right” Paul put hand in his chin “mm, I don't expect to learn this from you”
Don't joke with me! I'm fully aware how capable you are!
“Anyway, this is me fulfilling your second condition, I've prepared for you the best teacher and the best environment to learn the skill you wanted, a Military camp!”
"What!?" Lex needs a few seconds before he can process what just Paul announced to him
"a military camp?" Lex said as he glared Paul
Acting like He did not realize it, Paul cheerfully answered Lex “as you asked, a teacher and time to learn for it, military camp for one or two years was the best!”
That's what you said, but if you read it what's behind the line, I've fulfilled what you wanted, you didn't say that it has to be in this place right?
“kuggh…, that's right this is what I wanted” Lex replied
I can't escape from it anymore, this is my fault when I didn't have precaution for this
( “haa~” Paul sighed inside “I knew, my daughter started to have a unique trait, and I think you two needed to be separated for a while too, it's better for your relationship in the future” ) that's what Paul thought, but there's no way Lex can know or guess it
“the flight day… in six days from now” Lex muttered
“you need time to say your goodbye right” Paul heard Lex and replied
“…” Lex hesitated “you're right, thanks for the consideration”
“no, this too our job as your guardian”
Hmm? I think I've just heard something incredible just now…, mah who cares

And here we are, half a day inside the plane, and another half a day on the vehicle, Lex dropped near this port, with a ticket for the ship.
But man... they're really bawl they're eyes out when I said I needed to go far away from them
The first person Lex told is Kate and Ella, Lex tied to them the whole day, giving a whole bunch of excuses before they reluctantly accepted it
At school, Alice and Claudia bawl their eyes out were expected, but the other girls too cried the fact Lex going to be transferred from their school, and maybe like Karma all the boys at school rejoicing that Lex going to left the school
“other than Kate, Will I see them again later?”

The car was very comfortable that Lex was able to relax inside of it, so there's no fatigue on him even after half a day journey, he wore his backpack which had all of his necessary items, and started walking to the port.
Should I go straight to the ship? Well, there's still time...
Lex decided to take a walk around the port
Wait…, won't I get caught? A ten years old child walking around in this busied market, hmm?
When Lex understands the problem with his identity now, he quickly looks around then he realized, that there's so many other children in this place, some were having lunch, some were making groups with each other, some were walking in solo.
Because of the unexpected sight, Lex froze on the spot, then he thought of one thing
Maybe… just maybe do they have the same purpose as mine being here?
If that's right, then this isn't normal
Is there any military camp for children? Why didn't realize it much sooner!?
That's right, I'm only a ten years old children and a military camp? That's absurd!
Suu haa suu haa
Calm down me, but how can I miss such simple thing?
…..
So that day event shook me more than I thought huh?
The event Lex talking about, was the day he chased by the hellhound, for Lex it was the day when his common sense that he knows from these ten years flipped upside-down.
Haa~, there's some hint, like my unexplained body and the dark-like substance things that came out years ago which I've tried many times after that but it didn't happen again, it was impossible in my past world,
...
Ok! Let's think of this a new start for me! At least I've known now, this is different world, even if its looks the same but it's different, with this it explained the high tech used in this world too!
With a new resolve Lex started to walk his way around the port.
***
The port like usual port, even if I've never seen port in my past life and this life, there is nothing special in this port too
Which mean only the market is a bit special, they didn't sell raw food there, it's like a night market in many countries, all they sell was processed food which can be consumed at that place, while others were something for everyday uses, like clothes, and equipment for bathing, cooking, etcetera.
I want to say there's nothing here, but there's this kind of feeling which made me thought of something suspicious here.
Lex walked continue to walk around the port while still unable to settle the suspicious feeling he has till the time came for him to go to the ship.
Lex seen some other child making a group together, he can see that those groups just made here in this place, but Lex can't understand why they do that? There's just too little information for Lex to reach a conclusion.
But seen the others making the same kind of conduct, Lex know, there's something those guys know which Lex don't
Hmm, well no problem, I will have my answer there
