Hearing Theodore's words, Vincent inclined his head to the side to look at the view of the world's connecting space famous for its levitating train stations and levitating trains through the wide transparent window.

Outside the train, he could only see a white and blue sea made out of white clouds and blue gas stretching as far as his eyes could see. The white clouds were typical clouds found on Earth but the blue gas was an advanced state of magic power. Usually, the magic power on planet Earth was riddled with so many impurities that one couldn't discern it using their eyes. As the magic power is purified from impurities, its form changed from intangible and invisible to a touchable gaseous form.

The magic power in the air was pure and in a gaseous form so it could be seen from the naked eye.

"After a few moments, the train will rush out of the white and blue seas. In that very moment, one can witness the most beautiful scenery this world's connecting space has to offer," Theodore said as he looked at Vincent. He would usually come here to unwind once he was fed up with experimenting with new pills and researching on different species. Every time the wonderful view would calm his heart, providing him with mental comfort. It was something he needed a lot more than others.

"I'm looking forward to it," Vincent said as he looked at the world outside with wide eyes glistening in anticipation.

As the train quickly marched forwards through the seas of cloud and gasified magic power, the clear view of the world slowly came into his sight.

Lo and Behold the world of levitating trains and floating train stations—Xavier!

The eyes of Vincent twinkled in amazement as the unbelievable view of more than four floating train stations floating near the entrance of the cities and a few levitating trains entered his sight. He also finally saw the famous virtual tracks that were around several feet wide, but thousands of miles long. These paths connected various floating train stations with each other and were used to traverse from one train station to another.

The main thing that differentiated this world from the planet Earth was the thousands of unique virtual train tracks crisscrossed over the world.

There was a network of well-established Virtual Train Track, special pathways that connected distant train stations to each other, in Xavier. They were created by the member of the Ambrose Family and maintained by an artificial life form called Mother, the Goddess of the Virtual Reality. The trains automatically used these virtual tracks as guides to reach their destination.

As he was far above the ground, once he looked down below, Vincent could only see a few black dots representing fortress among a swarm of green, brown dots representing trees, cliffs, and mountains, and blue lines representing a well-known river.

A blue line stretching from one end of the world to the other end could also be seen, splitting into several directions like spider cobwebs. This was the river of 108 legs.

This world's connecting space was denoted as Xavier. It was a world that primarily consisted of green thick forests teeming with magical herbs, plants, monsters, and beasts. After humans and other beings set foot in this world, cities, floating train stations and virtual train tracks were established in dozens of years.

There were thirteen cities established in this world, four of the thirteens were called great cities, the cities that are established in order to protect the four spatial tunnels connecting to the world of Lorena.

The world outside the thirteen cities was filled with several large forests dominated by beasts and monsters. The forests were designated danger zones as a lot of beings hostile to humans lived there, but there were safe zones established in the danger zones.

There were a few fortress with connecting train stations seen in various parts of the forests. One could go there to sleep and rest freely as the fortress were usually safe zones providing benefits and a resting zone to the adventurers.

His eyes flickered in a profound light as the reason why this world means of transport was dominated by levitating trains popped up in his mind.

"There are a lot of mines in this world and the world of Lorena from where anti-gravity metal can be harvested. Since there was no shortage of anti-gravity materials, creating such costly stuffs was a piece of cake for the third great royal family. After all, they are filthy rich and they could purchase as much anti-gravity metal as they liked."

The anti-gravity mental pushes gravity away from itself, once magical energy passes through it.

Trains taking flight was easy and free of cost due to the great concentration of magic power in the surroundings.

"Now, they are reaping a lot of benefits from their early investment. It is almost impossible to travel anywhere within this world with spatial technology or even teleportation ability due to spatial interference. One might want to go from point A to B but they might be teleported or point Z or get ripped apart into thousands of pieces. That's why everyone uses trains to travel from one place to another. This alone generates millions to billions of revenue for the Ambrose from rich tourists alone."

"Not to mention the fact that this planet acts as a trade zone between planet Earth and the unique world of Lorena. The merchants traveling between these two worlds also use their service to transport their goods. This also net them billions every year."

Sometime later, a too pleasant to hear voice sounded in the train.

"All passengers heading to New Hope City, listen well! We are about to arrive at the New Hope City in a few moments. Please pick up your luggage and prepare to get off."

"The voice seems unrealistic," Vincent said in a low voice after a moment. "It's too pleasant…"

"It's because the train driver is an artificial existence," Theodore said to disperse his confusion.

"Shouldn't such jobs be given to humans?" Vincent said.

There are a lot of unemployed people who were too weak to fight in the war and too uneducated to become a part of any company. Some don't even have a part-time job. Such people will accept such a job with a smile on their face.

"In the past, humans used to run these trains. However, after a certain accident that outraged inhabitants of multiple worlds and caused unrest to arise among the masses, humans were banned from driving the levitating trains."

"What happened?" Vincent asked with a curious look on his face.

Theodore sighed as sad memories of the past appeared in his mind.

In the past, the trains were run by humans.

Until, a train driver, tired of his life and betrayed by his cheating wife, decided to take his own life and commit suicide.

However, he didn't want to die a meaningless death.

He wanted to die in a way that will cause his name to be recorded in history and engraved in the minds of others!

So what did he do?

He committed suicide with the passenger of his train.

Only a few managed to survive that day and all of them were ability users.

"How could he even think of doing such a thing?" Vincent shook his head, unable to understand how a human can be so cruel as to kill hundreds of people for selfish and ridiculous reasons.

"You are too young to think about such stuff." Theodore calmly looked at him and said, "For now, you should focus on gaining more knowledge and power."

Vincent sounded a voice in agreement.

Meanwhile, the train quickly marched onward, and they neared the floating train station of New Hope City. 

After a few moments, the levitating train came to a halt without any undulation and the artificial train driver announced that they have reached New Hope City.

"Kayle, wake up," Theodore said as he gently patted her head three times.

At the third time, her eyelashes fluttered followed by her eyes opening slightly then she sheepishly gazed around.

"Are we there yet?" She asked with a yawn as she looked at instructor Theodore.

"Yes, indeed," Theodore replied as he ruffled her wavy golden hair.

"It tickles. Stop doing that," Kayle said, chuckling.

After a moment, once he stood up from his seat, Theodore said, "Let's get off the train before it starts running once again."

Thereafter, the instructors and Vincent got off the train, walked down the staircase, stepped out of the floating train station, and entered the western District of the New Hope City where the military academy was located.
