Chapter 7 - Interior is better than exterior

Finally, it was the girls turn to enter the bathhouse, and they was surprised to see the interior design. If the outside looked ancient, the inside looked like a futuristic oasis, with sleek lines, advanced technology, and a sense of cutting-edge innovation. The air was filled with the sweet scent of soap and the soft hum of heaters, and the sound of gentle chatter and soft laughter filled the air. As they walked in, they noticed the rooms that contained hot tubs with built-in massage jets, rejuvenation baths with LED lights that pulsed with a soothing glow, and cold showers that seemed to invigorate the senses. There were also spa rooms with advanced equipment that looked like they belonged in a high-end wellness center. Each room had doors notifying which was elite and which was common, but even the common rooms looked like they were designed for luxury.

The girl was directed to a room that had a symbol of a commoner, but the inside looked like a high-tech facility. The room was filled with the warm glow of soft lights, and the sound of gentle water flowed from the hot tubs, which were equipped with advanced water purification systems and temperature control. There were many girls in the hot tub, all chatting casually with colleagues while hurriedly bathing. The water was crystal clear, and the air was filled with the scent of essential oils.

Wren, Ashley, and Kinrara quickly entered the bath, and the warm water enveloped them like a soothing blanket. The experience was unlike anything they had ever felt before. The water jets massaged their muscles, and the advanced filtration system made the water feel silky smooth. They bathed as fast as they could, not daring to anger the prefects outside.

Once they were done, they headed to the changing room, wrapped in towels that felt like plush velvet against their skin. The cool air hit their skin, making them shiver slightly. "I don't like this outfit," Ashley complained, looking at her folded uniform. The outfit was a sleek black jumpsuit with a silver emblem on the chest, and it felt stiff and uncomfortable against her skin. "It feels so itchy," she added.

Kinrara responded, staring at the body-length mirror as she changed into her suit. "Get used to it, Ash. Nothing here goes easy." The jumpsuit fit her perfectly, accentuating her athletic physique. She adjusted the emblem on her chest, which seemed to glow with a soft blue light.

Once Kinrara was done, she wore her cap and faced the rest. "Tomorrow, we'll know which department we'll be in," she said. "The worst among them is the human poison and archery class. It's super complicated and super painful."

Ashley's eyes widened in shock. "Human what?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Kinrara's expression remained calm. "Yes, human poison class. We'll be tested to see if we can detoxify different types of poison in our body system. At some point, it'll feel normal for us to drink any type of poison without any drastic effect. But the first try, you may lose consciousness, lose your sight temporarily, go deaf and mute, or become paralyzed, depending on how strong your immune system is."

Wren's eyes were wide with fear, but Kinrara's expression remained calm, as if she was discussing something mundane. "You talk as if it's so casual," Ashley said, her voice laced with skepticism.

"If you had a brother like mine, you'd understand," Kinrara replied, her voice even.
