Chapter 14 - A Cliche Encounter

It took more than just a few minutes for me to calm down, after doing so I tried to call out for Mathew to check whether he was still present outside the infirmary.

Even after calling for more than a few minutes, he didn't answer me nor did he enter so I presumed that he must have immediately left the infirmary after giving me a brief description of the situation.

And I am sure he must have already gone to meet Owen and report back to him about the current condition.

He's so loyal to Owen, that sometimes it makes you wonder why aren't still married yet?

Jokes apart, but seriously if it was earth then there may be some reason. Like Owen is rich, and had a powerful background and Mathews was being hired to protect him. That was ok, but why is he still doing it even now?

I really don't understand is why is he still following Owen as his owner, even after getting transferred to another world.

And just after a few minutes both Mathew and Calton once again returned to the infirmary after finishing their report to Owen.

While they were absent, I have already sorted out a few doubts and issues to ask them.

If everything Mathew told me is true then there's more than something we need to be careful about in this world.

Because there are more than a few lies and loopholes in this explanation that they gave us.

According to Mathew that the movement the leader of the 'Church of Dark Hours' died all those hostages who were under the control of his mind magic snapped back to reality.

As soon as Matthew regained his consciousness he search for his young master but not being able to find him among the hostages.

He immediately ran towards the end hall where all sorts of booms and bangs were heard. Soon following his example, Calton and the rest of the group also followed him towards the hall.

When they arrived in the hall the rest of the members of 'Church of Dark Hours' was already dead either under the endless barrage of lighting or under the falling roof.

Only Owen seems to be standing alive and kicking in no longer recognizable hall trying to lift a huge piece of roof that had fallen on the blood pond and covered it completely.

Without even questioning Owen's abnormal behavior, Mathew joined him in the operation and continued the attempt to lift.

Soon after Mathews's arrival Calton and the rest of the class with a few adults who wanted to see what happened to their family and friends entered the room.

As soon as they step inside the hall, a mysterious Glow appeared from the Ritual Magic Circle which had been filled with the blood of both Vincent and the wicked.

With a bright flash, they went through some sort of space passage which made everyone's stomach turn twist, and turn.

Before they could understand what was going on? They were already in a sealed location with an ancient altar surrounded by many statuses of humanoid figures.

Since the cave was dark and old people could completely look at the status of the humanoid figure and they were not in the mood to do so either.

The ancient altar and the old cave seems to have been made with sufficient space to hold all the survivor of the ritual incident safe.

Just as the first person was about to leave the old cave and investigate what was outside.

A group of guards arrived at the entrance of the cave with a priestess. She seems to wear a white robe with gold embroidery on it. Like the high priestess of Goddess from myths

The look seems to be more appropriate for her because as soon as people saw her beautiful face they immediately forget about their worries.

It even made the people who were feeling discomfort and anxious due to the unexpected incident momentarily forget about it.

First, she directly used a higher level of magic to heal all the people who were in dire medical need. (This includes me, who had lost concessions due to drowning, and a few other heart patients )

Then she proceeded to explain the situation to them and brought them to 'the Academy' so they could safely stay here to adapt to their new home and learn more about it.

At 1st this may sound like a wonderful story of benevolence to you, that's if you don't notice the cliches that are in the story.

First and foremost,

How were they aware of our arrival to this world?

Secondly

And why are they not hostile towards us intruders?

3rd

If not, How in the world were they able to arrive at the summoning spot so fast?

4th and the last one

Why was a high-level priestess available in an old cave with Royal Guards protecting her?

If anything, shouldn't Guards be the first to find someone and takes them into custody?

When I asked Mathew, whether anyone asked them the same questions as me. He told me they only asked an answer for the 1st and 2nd questions and did not even think about the rest of the questions.

And the answer they received was

" It was a Revelation from the great Goddess of Faith and Benevolence it was under her guidance we wait here for your arrival "

and the answer to the 2nd question was

" This isn't the 1st time that otherworlders appear in our world, Every great era in the history of this world has witnessed and recorded the appearance and achievements of otherworlders"

So from this, we can conclude that there have been other otherworlders who have arrived before our time and we are not the 1st person to do so.

Then I inquired them about anyone having any issues with the current situation, where they are in another world, and stuff like that.

The answer was 1st some adults were irritated but the priestess soon explained to them that they all were destined to die in an accident and the Goddess took pity on us, saved us, and new life

I was about to ask 'will someone actually believe this crap?' only to be stunned to see the pleased look on both Calton and Mathews's faces.

After answering a few more questions of mine both Mathew and Calton bid me their farewells and left me alone.

And by now I noticed have another thing that is, none of these morons who got summoned with me here to this world seem to have doubted her words and bought in whatever crap she sold them.

Well after listening to all their explanations, I understand one thing that bitch is extremely dangerous, she seems to know how to lead these guys by their noses.

After giving some thoughts on the topic, I decided to push this assumption of mine back into my head and tried to lay down in my bed to forget about all this worrisome stuff.

But later that night Mathews once again came to inform me that tomorrow we are going to have our classes on awakening and later after two days we will be having our awakening session at the nearby temple of gods.

And according to Mathews, this awakening is something that every person on Fantasia goes through at the age of 14 but since we were here at a minimum age of 16 we can awaken at any time we want.

The awakening was of two types one was the 'Contenders' type and another was the 'Chosen' type.

With the thoughts of both feeling sad for losing my mom and not being able to fulfill her only wish and the feeling of being excited about the awakening ceremony.

I closed my eyes hoping at least I should live a fulfilling life in this world.
