Flash!
Von surveyed the surroundings dumbfoundedly. The first thing that came into his sight was the giant statue.
A statue about ten meters in height, depicting an androgynous person with long golden hair and a faint smile.
For some reason, he felt a sense of spark from the statue.
"A Goddess with an E Cup? Is this heaven?"
After carefully surveying his surrounding, he found out he seemed to be on a large rounded hall. Stepping inside of a giant mural in a circle shape. The place was build in white marble, it has a huge pillar set in place.
The whole place naturally looked like a cathedral that has a solemn ambiance. The decoration in the wall was delicately sculpted, even an amateur can tell that it's really a masterpiece, making the place look even more awe-inspiring.
"Where the hell are we?"
Von wasn't the only one, all people inside the Manila university were transmigrated into this brand-new world.
It seemed they were located in the deepest part of the building, on top of a pedestal that was higher than the surrounding area. Von looked around, he could only see his co-teachers, students, and even school guards with the same dumbfounded expression as him.
Suddenly, the entire assembly hall fell silent. A voice came from the front of the hall. On the stage, a man wearing a robe walked up in a dignified, disciplined manner. Everyone present was quite surprised since there was no one there just a moment ago.
"It's time."
Von just heard a different language, he paused for a moment and shortly realized he was able to understand.
The man in robe raised his hand towards the five people wearing black attires sitting on the upper deck of the hall.
Those five people were the leader of their respective guilds.
Nobody caused much disturbance, perhaps their minds were still unable to keep up with reality. The man in robe started to explain the situation.
Right now, the place that Von and the rest had moved to, had a few ten meter long dining tables lined up side by side. After that, the other students took their seats in sequence, Von sat at the last spot.
When everyone was seated, with amazing timing, the maids entered with carts.
The man in robe started his explanation after confirming that everyone had received their contract documents and hunter's tag.
The man in robe cleared his throat.
"Cough… I'm sure you are all confused. Let me explain the situation first, I ask of everyone to listen to everything I had to say until the end."
The words that came out were really too fantasy-like, none had any idea of what he was talking about. To put it briefly, first, the place they were in was called Caiden Kingdom.
Von felt this world was unreasonably twisted and the sense of crisis that couldn't be described with words. He who stood up to protest.
"Please don't joke around! In the end, all you want is for us to participate in a draft and become tool of your Kingdom?! That kind of thing is absolutely bullsh!t! As a teacher, I will absolutely not allow such a thing! Let us go back immediately! Surely, their families must be worried! What you are doing now is mere kidnapping!"
However, the following words from man in robe froze them.
"I understand how you're feeling. However.. It is impossible for you to return now."
Silence filled the halls. It was as if there was an ice-cold pressure pressing down on them. Everyone gazed at the man in robe with a questioning expression.
"The fvck?!"
"I-impossible.. W-what did you just say? If you can summon us, you should be able to send us back!?"
Students cry out loud.
"As I said earlier, it was Goddess Luxuria that summoned you. We do not have the ability to return you back to your world."
"T-that is..."
Von felt a chill down to his spine.. The students in the surrounding also started to make a ruckus.
"No way!? We really cannot go back anymore?"
"Why, why, why..."
"No! Anything but this, let me return!"
The students started to panic. However, Von was pretty composed, only because he had experienced a life and death situation during his military days.
When everyone was in a difficult situation, the man in robe didn't have the intention to open his mouth to calm the masses, he only watched the calm.
When everyone was still panicking, Von stood up and slammed the table. At the same time the students caught his attention, they fixed their gaze on him. When he confirmed that he had everyone's attention, Von began to talk.
"Everyone, it is meaningless to make so much ruckus in this place. Moreover, since we were summoned here to save their assess, we may be able to return after this is all over..… Isn't that right?"
Von fixed his gazed to the man in robe.
"That's right."
The silence returned to the assembly hall. The man in robe simply smirked.
The man in robe clapped his hands twice to draw the attention towards himself.
"I'm sure that you're curious about many things. But once you have belonged in a particular guild, you can throw them tons of questions. For now, let us follow the protocol"
"Firstly, let us confirm the identities of those present today before proceed with the draft."
"First of all, in the table are the Contract documents, please. How many do we have? Seven Hundred-eight…. Quite a lot, isn't it? Don't worry you will be treated nicely. Everyone present here, please, think of bringing up your Status Windows, or simply yell Status in your minds. It's fine to say it out loud, as well."
'Status Windows? Status?' Just as Von thought like this.
In the empty air right in front of their eyes, a sudden avalanche of texts came crashing down. A somewhat simple and floating blue screen had appeared. It was strange because the floating blue screen seemed real.

"Wait what???? Is this serious??" Von clenched his fist tightly.
He initially planned to lead his students. Those plans will now take a major detour after seeing his class.
Von gave a faint smile.
"Seems all of you have seen your status and classes. Let me explain. The max level for a human was 10. Meaning, the level shows the possible potential that a human can grasp. Once you reach max level, then you have achieved the potential of humans. It is uncertain for someone to reach that, to be honest."
Everyone was listening carefully to what the man was saying.
"Next to discuss is your Class. Simply this is the talent you have possessed. The skills you have at the end of your status are directly linked to the class you have. For example, you're a swordsman, you will only learn swords skill when you level up. Remember, only people from the world called Earth have this skill."
One of the students raised his hand.
The man just nodded his head and he welcomed the question.
"How do we level up?"
"Good question. Through offering your accumulated experience to your designated Apostle. Do not worry guilds will assist you and will lecture you further. After all, you are the heroes. The resources of your guild will be used to supply you. So far the most important part of this event is determining your guild."
Von thought he's not the only with nothing special but seems the all of them had superior stats, they can be considered cheats. A lot of his students had combat classes too. Von just looked at his class name. When trying to imagine his class, it was not possible to see this class in battle. Also, he only one active skill. Von just gave a dry smile at that.
"For those who have combat classes may come forward"
