⟨MC POV – 'Touya'⟩
We are in a large room, the only source of light in the room are from candles only, chandelier and wall candles are everywhere, I think we are most likely in an underground basement, a ritual chamber.
There are five people staring at us, two males, and three females, all five of them are wearing the type of clothing, as if it were some sort of uniform.
One of the women take a step forward, looks like she is about to speak, I am curious about what she has to say.
"Welcome most honoured guests, please do not be alarmed, we understand that you must be confused and scared".
""Aaaahh"" several students screamed, and a couple even fainted.
"We aren't here to hurt any of you, please don't be afraid" the woman said in a sincere way.
"Brother, why have we been brought here, I'm scared, I want to go home" asked Ayumi as tears streamed down her face.
"I don't know why we're here Ayumi, but I'm going to find out, don't worry I'll protect you" I pull Ayumi into my embrace, then I turn to face the strange woman and ask her "Who are you people? And why have you brought us here? Where is here?".
"We are magicians from the Mage's Guild, you have been brought here to save our people, and we are in the Kingdom of Eruwen".
"That country doesn't exist, what are you trying to pull here, and what do you mean your magicians from the Mage's Guild? Explain yourselves" I asked angrily.
"Please let me clarify, we are currently in Dorden the capital city of the Kingdom of Eruwen, of Baothien, which is the name of this world, you were summoned here to be our champions".
The whole class became quiet, shocked by her impossible words, summoned here to be their champions.
"What do you mean we're here to be your champions? And when you said we were summoned here; I take it you mean through the use of magic" I asked for confirmation.
"You know of magic? I was under the understanding your world has no magic, and yes, we used an ancient summoning magic, which was given to our ancestors by the Gods. And we brought you here to help and protect our people from the Demon Lords".
You have got to be kidding me, they expect a group of students to fight a Demon Lord, that is the worst joke I have ever heard, and yet she isn't lying to us.
"I don't know what you expect us to be able to do, but we are only human, we don't have any magic or any other sort of powers, so how exactly do you expect us to stop a Demon Lord?" I was annoyed and curious when I asked her that.
"Before we get in to all the details, I think you all should take some time, since this involves all of you, we should wait until all of you are in a state capable of being included in the discussion…" she took a moment, as she took a deep breath and then continued.
"…as I said before, all of you are our honoured guests, which means no harm will be done to any of you, all we ask is for you to take some time to adjust and calm, I know that's asking a lot in this situation, and please try to be respectful toward us, please don't lash out or attack any of us, if you would follow us, we'll take you to get some food and to get some rest".
"Alright, we'll trust you for the moment, and can we get some help to move our unconscious friends" I replied, temporarily trusting them.
"That's all that we ask, and of course we'll help you in any way we possibly can" the moment she said that her companions came over to us and offered their helping hand to us.
After their people helped us, we were lead through a large doorway and up a long stairway, we went through a long corridor until we came to another door, which lead to a large hall, which looks like a common area, the room has been set up for our comfort and to rest, there is also a large table at one end of the room, it look like it is for meals.
Not long after, meals were brought in and placed on the table, it looked like a large feast, which we did partake in but not straight away, most of the others were afraid to eat, the first to go to the table was me.
"Ayumi, come, let's eat, since they brought us here to help them, they're not going harm us with the food" I hope that was enough to reassure her.
"Okay brother, I trust your judgement".
So, the two of us took a seat at the table, and started eating, once we were finished, one by one the others went to the table too.
After we left the table, me and Ayumi went to relax on one of the sofa's, I was surprised by how comfortable it was, as I was holding Ayumi in my embrace, she fell asleep in my arms.
I kiss Ayumi on the forehead, and I say to her.
"My sweet Ayumi, have a pleasant sleep, I know today has been a lot".
I snuggled with Ayumi, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
