Chapter: The Sky Turns Red
The final day at Sector K-22 had arrived.
Batch N and O were up early, buzzing with a mix of excitement and melancholy. A week had gone by in the blink of an eye—days filled with missions, lectures, and countless lessons about survival in the outside world. Some students had made new friends. Others had developed rivalries. But most were just grateful for the experience.
