After seeing the message of the system, everyone - including Russell, Takehiko, and rose - went to immediately arming themselves.
Even though they're running in a timer, they were calm they're hands were quick but precise.
In times like this they have a personal protection suitcase, just below their desk. In case the academy were attacked by terrorist in an attempt to eliminate the students.
And so they were trained to be quick and precisely calm in situation like this.
There's a minibag containing bandages, alcohol, and some more medical stuff in the minibag, there's also a pocket knife that can be worn on the waist, some who passed the physical test received a light shield. Army armor and many more...
It took a meastly 5 minutes for Russell, Takehiko, and Rose to be prepared. The others were still preparing because not everyone is equal even at the school full of Geniuses.
After 10 minutes, the system message popped up again.
It was time.

[ Congratulations Humans of Earth, this is a unique chance for you Humans of Earth! Please create many interesting mythologies on another world! ]
The message faded and another flashed again.
[ Transportation is ready in 10 seconds your gonna be transported into the world of Khaos

Seeing the countdown, Russell turned left and right. And gave Takehiko and Rose a nod.

Takehiko returned a nod the same with rose.

Then Russell said " Dammit "
[ 1... Transporting humans of earth...]
Suddenly they're body's became rays of light, then the light dispersed and so theirs too.
....
After that Russell opened his eyes and found himself in the middle of a burning village.
Russell's eyes widen and his iris became thin in confusion, " what the hell?!? "
Before he can think more though, someone tackled him in the back while yelling, " You dumbass!!! Get out!!! "
Getting hit by the tackle they flew and rolled far from where he's standing earlier. After they stopped rolling, he saw the perpetrator of the tackle. And it was a familiar face, her eye's was blue as a sapphire, her hair was pink and it was tied to resemble a twin tail, she's wearing a white Qipao with golden flowers.
After staring for a while, " Yue Min?"
Them she looked up, and saw Russell her eyes grew light blue and spoke in a worried tone, " Russell? What are you doing there? Are you okay? "
Russell face blushed and looked away from Yue Min and replied, " Y-yes! Why did you tackled me? "
Yue Min then, raised her hand and pointed with her finger. " You almost died! A huge burning plank wall is about to fall on you! "
Seeing it, Russell's pink cheeks grew even more pinker, " o-oh... Thank you...but..can you please stand up now... Our position is a... little awkward..."
Yue Min raised her eyebrows in response to Russell's words and looked down, then her face grew pinker.
Indeed their position is awkward, Russell was below Yue Min, while Yue Min was on top of Russell sitting on his waist. But she was too worried to noticed it, and also her being quite literally sheltered due to her being special played a huge part of it.
Anyway... After that Yue Min stood up, and her face was still blushing a little. Around them the village is still burning.
After both of them stood up, Russell proposes, " Yu!- ehem, I mean Yue Min I think we should look around for the others no? "
Yue Min looked at him for a sec and then turned to her sorrounding, " There's no one here, I already ran around earlier... "
Russell frowned, his eyes compressed and form a circle. " What? How? I just woke up though, didn't we all arrived here at the same time? "
Yue Min looked at him with surprised, then frowned too, her eye's became deep blue as the bottom of the ocean. " That... Doesn't make sense I've been running around for an hour now. "
Russell continued to frowned then tried to reply, but was disturbed. By a large roar, they weren't able to see it but they definitely were able to feel it.
And so disregarding they're conversation right now, Russell asked Yue Min, " Do you know where- " he tried but got interrupted by Yue Min who started running, " Follow me! "
Russell let out a smirk and thought to himself, ' damn! smart friends are the best! '
He then followed Yue Min, since the roar came in the north, they ran south avoiding the source of the large and scary roar.
Their escape was pretty good, in some occasion Yue Min brought out her light shield to passed through fire diving straight into them.
In some Russell customized knife were thrown to cover Yue Min from falling burning planks. His knife were a little bit special because there's a tail into it where Russell can grab it and pull it to come to him.
That's how their escape from the burning village came to be... It's been a while now since they've been running, Russell was running out of oxygen. Yue Min was somewhat still okay but even she were gasping of the air a little, the burning scenery around them is not helping on their escape.
Every breath they took hurts and burns, but they gotta breathe. Each step was heavy now, even Russell were wondering if this is really a village they were inside to and not a city.
- they were running full sprint for 10 minutes now. -
Even with perfect physical fitness offered by the government, thus making them physically fit for normal humans. They were still gasping, each step was heavy. They're full sprint run is now a jog, Yue Min is now noticably tired. It make sense because she's been running around for an hour, granted that might be a nice pace and not the full sprint marathon they were doing right now trying to escape against the horror behind the large roar.
After a while though, they finally saw the Pearly gates. Not the gates of heaven, but the gate of the actual gate of the burning village where full of pearl. Designed into it.
Then they ran as fast as they can, unbeknownst to them something was looking at them it's eyes is the same as Russell.
It's iris is thin and had hint of crimson red...
