Author's Commentary: Satoru's backstory is coming up later. Or at least, a part of it.
[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
While a battle was going on, Satoru was becoming annoyed from the questions that were being bombarded by a few of his students.
"Alright, stop asking needless questions, I can totally explain later. But, for now I have a genius plan...." Satoru said, with a grin forming on his face as he looked at the commander of the mana beasts that the transformed students are currently fighting with less flashiness than usual.
Several students and a few of his party members stared at him with different emotions of confusion, until he pulled out a scroll from his tracksuit's inner pocket.
"Eh? Sensei, what is that?" Jugo, one of his students, had asked whilst Satoru's eyes narrowed as he rubbed his chin.
"Forced Contract Scroll. Basically something very questionable, like forcefully enslaving a person to obey each and every order from the one who used this scroll." Satoru replied without hesitation, which surprised most of the students and raised some voices of concern.
"But...."
"This might be the only thing I can do right now. Believe me, I am capable of saving lives through questionable means, too. I'm holding myself responsible to the soon-to-be slave, and will give her limited freedom." Satoru sighed and reassured his concerned students, before gesturing his students to stay low and be silent.
After that, Satoru started walking towards a specific direction, though that didn't stop the students from being concerned, until another student spoke out.
"Hey, she was going to kill us anyway until our classmates and him came to aid us, right? Then that means we have to let sensei do his job." One of them spoke out, in which the students agreed, before all of them looked at the other students who were fighting for them.
To be honest, they looked really cool and powerful to some of the students who haven't yet transformed.
"Shadow Break!" Shimizu shouted out as he sent an arc of dark energy towards several mana beasts with the arc cutting through them and making them explode immediately afterwards.
"Haa!" Noboru shouted, slamming both his gauntleted fists down to the ground, before earthen spikes immediately came from the ground and impaled several tens of mama beasts.
The transformed students used a few of their powerful attacks, yet were careful not to destroy the ceiling or the walls, and reducing the amount of mana beasts by 20, which were all the strongest ones.
The people who haven't witnessed how they fight were mostly amazed, while Cattleya only felt anger, fear and disbelief.
"This is.... this is impossible, those mama beasts were all given to us by otherworldly allies!" Cattleya muttered in disbelief, all while Satoru appeared from the shadows behind her with the Forced Contract Scroll on his hand.
"Surprise." Satoru bluntly spoke as he tapped Cattleya's shoulder.
"...?!!?!" The tan skinned woman turned around, only to be presented by an open scroll that started glowing once she saw it, before it dimmed.
"What did you do to me, human?!" Cattleya asked, confused about what was happening, only to have the eagle sitting on her shoulder grabbed by the said human and tossed the white bird away.
"You've become my 2019th slave, congratulations..... not." Satoru mockingly replied as he walked past her, observing the fight between the strongest of her mana beasts and his students.
Light flashed, sparks flied, and all of that was made by many attacks from both sides. He knew that his students would win in the end, so he faced Cattleya, who had the intent of attacking him, yet is unable to even do so as her body disobeys her mind due to the contract.
"Tell me, what kind of otherworldly allies did your empire trust and allowed access to this world?"

Gimme power stones.
