The train enters the capital's lighting train station. There are ten platforms and too much crowd on the station. The train stops at platform number 4. Before the train stops, everyone gets up from their seats and moves toward the door.
After a few minutes Kalp, Casper and Esme get off the train.
'Son, whenever you get time, do come to our home. We have a weapon shop named Lavin smith shop in the commoner resident district.' Casper said.
'Okay grandpa, I will come.' Kalp said.
'Bye son. Take care of you.' Esme said.
'Bye and meet my grandson Kevin in the exam.' Casper said while leaving.
'Yes grandpa, I will meet him, and take care of you grandpa and grandma.' Kalp said and moved towards the exit.
On his way to the exit he sees that fifteen people alighting from the freight compartment, most of them are ten to twenty years old males and females and a few are twenty-five to thirty years old. They are not humans. They are elves, demi-humans and dwarfs. And twelve of them are females. Their hands and legs are cuffed and on their body, they are wearing old tattered clothes. Their faces are expression less, as if they have no hope.
Kalp gets angry seeing this.
'How can someone be so heartless?' Kalp thought angrily.
Then he sees one of the people who are taking them all, hitting a child of a demi-human. Kalp gets more angry and he is about to move towards him to help but suddenly someone holds Kalp's hand and pulls him towards the other side. Kalp quickly looks back, and she is Alice.
'What are you planning to do now?' Alice said.
'Did you see he was beating that child? Still how can I remain calm?' Kalp said.
'And do you think everything will be alright after beating that man?' Alice said.
'Yes, you are right. I was impulsive seeing that. Thank you so much for saving me again.' Kalp said.
Alice ignores him and goes towards the exit.
'Listen, I am Kalp Field and what's your name?' Kalp asks while following Alice.
Alice doesn't answer him.
'Hey, please at least tell me your name.' Kalp said.
'Alice.' Alice said.
'Alice…. Nice name. So, are you also going for entrance exam?' Kalp asked.
'Yes.' Alice said.
Kalp and Alice reach the exit. There are some people standing in a line. Alice and Kalp also get placed in line.
'So, where are you planning to go after this?' Kalp asked.
'Listen, I don't care what happened to you and I am not going to tell you anything about me. So, don't try to get close to me.' Alice said.
'Hey, I think you got me wrong. I'm out of my village for the first time so everything is new here for me, I'm a bit excited and you've saved me twice so I thought we could be friends. I want to thank you.' Kalp said.
Alice and Kalp reach the checkpoint and show their identity certificate. After that they leave.
After identity verification, Kalp and Alice exit the station. Kalp sees that the road is over crowded and the road is divided into two separators. There are traffic lights and even a zebra crossing. Some bikes and different types of car are also moving and there is a bus stand here. The buildings are very big with five or six storeys and all the buildings are made of bricks.
'What the fuck! It looks like I'm back in my world.' Kalp said softly to himself.
'What did you say?' Alice asked.
'Nothing, it's so beautiful.' Kalp said.
'Alice, do you know who builds these cars, bikes, trains and even this capital structure?' Kalp asked.
'I don't know.' Alice replied.
'Hmm, I wish to meet him.' Kalp said.
Both are walking on the footpath and looking for an inn.
'Where are you planning to go?' Kalp asked.
'I am going to Cosbreeds school office.' Alice said.
'Okay, I'll go with you and we will book an inn near that place.' Kalp said.
'What do you want?' Alice said.
'By the way, why don't you like to open up with anyone.' Kalp asked
'Those who have no difficulty in their life they can't understand.' Alice said.
'Yes, you are right, but I know, one day we will become good friends.' Kalp said with a smile and Alice suddenly blushes.
'By the way, where is the university office?' Kalp asked.
'I don't know. We have to ask someone.' Alice said.
'Okay let's have something to eat and we'll be able to ask someone there.' Kalp said.
'Fine.' Alice said.
Kalp and Alice go to the restaurant. It's a three-storey building. There are wooden tables and chairs, lots of paintings, lots of costumers and female waitress. There is a reception near the entrance. A fat man is sitting at the reception. He has a bald head, is forty years old and his name is Jamie. There is a board outside the restaurant. The name of the restaurant, Jamie's Food is written on that board.
After eating food, Kalp goes to the reception.
'Sir please, can you tell me the direction of Cosbreeds university office?' Kalp asked.
'It is in the commercial district, on main road near noble commercial district gate.' Jamie said.
'Okay and how can I go there?' Kalp asked.
'You have to take 17 number bus from this side bus stop, it will take you there.' Jamie said showing direction with his hand.
'Okay, thank you so much.' Kalp says and leaves.
Alice is standing outside the restaurant.
'It's in the commercial district, so we have to take 17 number bus to go there.' Kalp said.
'Okay let's go' Alice said and they go and stand at the bus stop.
After sometime the bus arrives that is red in color. There is a ticket conductor and driver inside the bus. 80% of the bus is full of people, all are sitting. Driver is a middle aged fat man with a black skin tone and ticket conductor is between twenty-five to thirty years old man with brown skin tone.
Kalp and Alice enter the bus through back door and most of the people are getting off through the front door.
'Alice, you go and take a seat.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Alice says and covers two empty seats.
'Where do you want to go?' Ticket conductor asked.
'Two tickets for north noble commercial district gate.' Kalp said.
'Okay, one silver coin.' Ticket conductor said.
'How long will it take to reach there?' Kalp asked.
'Twenty-five minutes.' Ticket conductor said.
'Okay, thank you.' Kalp said. He went and sat next to Alice.
'It will take twenty-five minutes to reach.' Kalp said.
'How different the capital is! It is as if we are entering a different world.' Alice says looking outside into the street.
'But I think the opposite.' Kalp thought and said with a fake smile, 'Yes, you are right.'
After a while, bus crosses lightning train station district to commercial district. There is a wall here that divides two districts. After entering north district, there are so many hotels, shops, bars, casino, auction houses, slaves trading company, mercenary guild houses, shopping complexes and many more.
Whenever the bus stops at the traffic signal again and again,
'These things are everywhere.' Alice said pointing her finger towards traffic light.
'Yes, these are traffic lights, when they show red light, every vehicle stops and when they show green light, every vehicle starts moving.' Kalp says causally.
'Okay and what are these white lines?' Alice asked.
'These are called zebra crossing, when every vehicle stops then people cross the road through these lines.' Kalp said.
'Kalp, you know a lot about the capital, as you live here.' Alice says skeptically.
'No, it's really my first time. I know this much because my brother told me everything. He is in Cosbreeds Academy.' Kalp said with a fake smile.
'Okay…' Alice said.
'Man, it's so difficult to pretend that you don't know.' Kalp thought.
After few minutes, bus reaches the noble commercial district gate stop.
'Noble commercial district gate.' Ticket conductor announced.
Kalp and Alice get off the bus. Roads are very crowded. Alice is looking around and very confused as to where we should go.
'Seriously, I thought Lightning train station District was so crowed but compared to commercial District, Lighting train district is nothing.' Alice said with surprise.
'Yes, you are right.' Kalp said so casually.
Alice looks at Kalp.
'Let's look for Cosbreeds Academy office.' Kalp said and tries to change the topic.
'Hey, look, there is a map.' Kalp says pointing a finger at a board.
There is a map of a whole commercial District on an iron board.
'So, here is Academy office and luckily there are a few Inns also near office.' Kalp said.
