Okonomiyaki High School

A young man with a pale face and the thin body was walking in one of its corridors. Several students were staring at him giving him weird gazes. The young man just continues forwards not minding the gazes towards him. The young man Shiro, already knew the reason why they were giving him this weird gazes.

'Haa, I shouldn't have really done that' he can only sigh in regret as he remembered what happened yesterday after school.

----------------------------

Yesterday...

At the rooftop of the Okonomiyaki High School, a thin young man with a pale face was bowing his head in a perfect 90 degrees. The young man was obviously Shiro. In front of him were his childhood friend and one of the school flower, Himekawa Shiori.

"I...I..I like you since we were kids! Please go out with me!" with his loud voice and closed eyes, Shiro manages to let out those words with great difficulty. His hands were shaking and he was sweating all over as if he just came out of a gym.

The target of his confession Shiori was just staring at him clearly shocked by the confession.

"Eh.. Eh.. Shiro-kun likes me?" she said with a surprised voice. But her next words make Shiro who was still in perfect 90 degrees trembled.

"Sorry, Shiro-kun but I only see you as a friend" after saying those words Shiori immediately turn around and walk towards the door in fast-paced as if not wanting to spend any other second here.

With the sound of the door closing and the disappearing sound of footsteps. Shiro who was left alone in the rooftop suddenly collapse in the cold floor with a devastating smile on his face. His eyes moist as he could almost feel his heart tearing apart. Suddenly as if the skies witness what happened, it suddenly started to rain. Shiro let the heavy drops of rain pour down to him as he hides his tear behind those droplets.

This is the first time he confessed to someone, and also the first time of him getting rejected. He thought that with all those years they spend their time together, those years were they played together, and the promise they had made in the past. He thought that it was all enough to move her heart, but he didn't expect she always just think of him as a friend.

-------------------------------------

Back to the present...

As Shiro arrived at the front of his room, he could almost hear his chest pounding so hard. He opens the door and enters the room, just as hr expected everyone turn to him with different expressions on their faces. At the corner of the room, he saw Shiori surrounded by his classmates without looking at him.

As he walks towards his seat, someone blocked him.

"Yow didn't think that you'll really do it. I as your friend admire your courage, but sadly you didn't listen to what I said" the one who blocked his way and talks to him was his best friend, Ryouta.

Shiro just smiles to his friend and release a hollow laugh as he sits on his chair.

"Come on don't think too much about it. Look at me, I already confessed to over twenty girls and all of them turn me down. But still, look at me not bothered by it" Ryouta said trying to cheer up the mood if his friend.

Noticing what his friend was doing, he said "Yours was different, you didn't even clearly know them. You only confessed to them because you found them beautiful, mine is completely different"

Hearing what Shiro said, Ryouta knew that it was definitely hard for his friend as he knew that Shiro loves Shiori since they were children. Heng, they even promised that they will marry each other when they grew up.

"I already told you countless times, that she never see you in the way you see her. Why didn't you listen to me" Ryouta knew that Shiori never looks at Shiro in that way. He noticed it that every time Shiro and Shiori talk to each other, Shiori seems to be impatient with him as if she doesn't want to talk with him. As he observes her more, he noticed that that kind and gentle look she was showing to him was only an act. He already told his friend about it but he was clearly blinded by his love to her that he didn't listen to what he said.

"Oi! I heard that you confessed to Himekawa yesterday at the rooftop and got rejected" the owner of the voice was a newcomer. He has a spiky hair dyed with red stripes which looks absolutely weird and he has several piercings in his face. He was the leader of the delinquents in the whole class, Kentarou.

Ding...dong...

With the sound of the bell, everyone in the room goes to their respective seats. Several seconds later, the door opens and a beautiful woman came in. Her long silky brown hair sways as she walks and her perfect figure was like sculptured into perfection. She was Miyasaki Eri their homeroom teacher.

As the homeroom continues, with their teacher a bright light suddenly engulfed the whole room.

"W..what is this!" someone yelled.

"What is happening!!"

The students including Shiro continues to panic in this sudden event. He turn and saw his friend Ryouta staring at the groud. He followed where he was staring and see several bright characters in the ground.

'It was a magic circle' Shiro thought to himself. As a high school teen he also enjoyed playing fantasy games. In those games that he played, magics were a very common thing. That is why although he instantly think that it was a magic circle from the very beginning because of its similarities.

The light intensifies and everyone in the room closed their eyes.

-------------------------------------

Several seconds later, everyone opens their eyes only to see the unfamiliar surroundings. There were several tall pillars with golden engravings surrounding them. As Shiro surveyed his surroundings, he saw several people wearing some type of golden armors looking at them.

"Welcome to Ustotha Heroes and his companions. With the help of the goddess of light we were successful in summoning you here. I am the ruler of this kingdom, King Grant" at the end of the large hall was a throne, sitting in there was a man wearing a golden crown. The king named Grant said towards the summoned people.

Beside the king was a beautiful woman with golden hair. The was that she was sitting besides the king makes everyone knew that she was the queen. Surrounding the couple were two handsome young man and a very beautiful young lady. The three of them were the two princes and the young princess of the kingdom.
