The new world's crisis. Why us? A bunch of students?

The event took place in just a blink of an eye. In front of the group was a magnificent area, under their feet was a red carpet. Torei's group was standing in a large area that looked just like an ancient palace. On the sides were two rows of people wearing knight armors. Standing in front of the group was an old man holding a long white staff, a giant man, a beautiful red-haired girl in armor, and a tall, muscular man whose face filled with scars. Looking down at them from afar was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxury golden attire, he was sitting on something like a throne. Beside him was a beautiful mature woman, a young blonde girl, and many other young men, all of them dressed like they were in medieval times.

" I-Is this a stage or something?" - Satsuki

" Is it possible we actually went to another world?" - Okura

" Okura, you should hold back. I'm sure that this is a school event that we may not have heard of." - Shizu

" Welcome heroes from another world!" - ???

The middle-aged man stepped down from the throne and everyone sitting next to him stood up.

" I am Alexandra the king of Agratha who is also the representative of humanity to welcome the heroes."

" Wait! Where are we? Who are you people, this is a drama, right?" - Shizu

Although Torei didn't want to admit this unreasonable situation, he had already guessed what was going on here, but exemplary students like Midori, Satsuki, and Shizu would probably have a hard time accepting this reality.

" About that… sorry but Azael."

" As your order, Your Majesty."

The old man named Azael lifted his staff and the group's bodies floated in the air.

" W-What hell is this?"

The old man then hit the staff to the ground and they all fell down. In his hand, a large fireball formed. He threw it straight at the group. A violent explosion broke out then an invisible wall blocked the ball of fire just in time but the heat and the vibration from the explosion made everyone stunned. When they were about to shout because of the heat, the temperature suddenly dropped and the ground froze.

" As you can see, it's magic, something that doesn't exist in your world." - Azael

" What the hell is going on? This can't be happening! There's no way something like this could exist!" - Shizu

" It may take some time for you to accept the truth. One more proof, listen carefully, we're speaking in a foreign language to you right?" - Azael

They seem to realize he was speaking a strange language but they all understand what he said.

" It is the blessing of the language, besides the language of Argatha and Mordox, you can understand and speak any language." - Azael

" It can't be." - Shizu

" Wait! You just said Argatha and Modox?" - Haruki

Haruki was the one who spoke, two names that were familiar to them had appeared.

" It seems like I don't have to explain too much. You've all received the guidance of the goddess of light Sarila sama." - The king

" Don't say this place is …" - Haruki

" Yes, this is Loriana and this place is the palace of Agratha, the kingdom leading the coalition of humanity and demihumans." - The king

" A-About this… please don't say we have to save this world or something. Hurry up and get us home!" - Satsuki

Satsuki was about to realize the truth, she shouted. However it was a dangerous move, a veteran isekai fan like Torei could have guessed. It was not all cases that Heroes were summoned with goodwill. With the recent trend, there were countless stories about heroes that were summoned for some kind of plot. Besides, the man in front of them was a king. He might not tolerate ridicule. But contrary to Torei's worries. Alexandra knelt down on one knee in front of them, he bowed, and everyone around them knelt as well.

" Regarding that, I am on behalf of the Alliance and all the people of this world apologize to you. However there is one thing I need to explain, we are not the ones who pulled you into this war."

" If not you then who? Weren't you the one who summoned us here?"

The king shook his head, as he was about to explain, a dazzling light appeared beside him, then a young girl stepped out from the light. They held their breath when they saw the girl's appearance. Beautiful, no. One must say gorgeous! A flawless beauty even in the mangas or anywhere Torei had never seen a character so beautiful.

" S-Sarila sama!" - The king

" It's alright Alexandra. I'll take your place to explain to the heroes." - Sarila

No one could utter a word. The group was sucked by her euphonious voice and her beautiful green eyes.

" I am Sarila, guardian of humanity and demihumans. I will explain the core reason that caused you here. It's because of this world…" - Sarila

" This world?" - Shizu

" I am a high-class race that was created to protect this world ten thousand years ago." - Sarila

A 3D image appeared in Sarila's hand, showing human and demihumans living all over the planet.

" Loriana was originally a world where humans and demihumans lived together. Although it could not be denied that wars happened, but the races always cooperated to protect the world and always respected and preserved each other's existence. This was the same as the races that live in your world. However, ten thousand years ago a cruel entity from elsewhere entered this world." - Sarila

A black smoke object from outer space fell on Loriana and half of the world dyed black.

" That entity has corrupted the world. It brought sinister cruel creatures from its dimension to invade this place. Demons are what it brought. They tried to convert the energy of this planet into another form of energy and when that happens, the fate of the whole of humanity and the demihumans will come to an end.

You are here not because of our summoning magic but because of the will of this world. It sent a request for help to yours." - Sarila

" Why?" - Torei

" Earth and Loriana have a close relationship, if to put it in an understandable way, you can call them brothers. That's why this world reached you. But the reason you're here not somewhere else, for example, a dangerous dungeon or even in the middle of the demon's territory was thanks to what's under your feet." - Sarila

At the bottom of Torei's group are strange characters that look like a magic circle in the manga.

" Our summoning magic was only used to guide the way. It helped gather you in a safe place. As the protector of the world, I also knew who would be summoned in advance so I sent a guideline to your world in the most understandable form to explain obstacles that you'll have to face." - Sarila

The interpretation of Sarila was reasonable and out of Torei's prediction. He thought it would've been an absurd story that was used to trick naive people and manipulate their group to help them unconditionally but it seems that wasn't the case.

" There's a point that I don't understand. Why us? A bunch of students? In our world, there are so many outstanding people. Scientists, politicians, skilled warriors, why a bunch of high school students? If possible, why wouldn't this world summon a whole army?" - Torei

That was what Torei wondered whenever he read any Isekai novel.

" Torei kun." - Sarila

" You know my name?" - Torei

" I know all your names. Let me explain that. It's true that in perfect condition, this world could do that. But remember, it was half occupied by that evil entity called Mordox. Mordox infiltrated the consciousness of this world. Although it couldn't stop the process of seeking help, it still can affect it. For example, it limits the number and quality of those who'd be summoned. You could say that you guys were the best this world could choose from within its power." - Sarila

Though still had many doubts Torei accepted Sarila's explanation.

" Then can we go back?" - Torei

" I'm afraid that at the moment… it is impossible." - Sarila

" W-We can't ?" - Torei

" Please don't panic! This world had created its own rules. You could say it's a game. It's a cycle. It created two entities, one the Hero and the other's the Demon King. If the Demon King's killed by the Hero, the cycle ends and the Heroes can choose to return to their own worlds." - Sarila

" Then we'll still have to kill the Demon King after all." - Torei

" I'm really sorry, but you were right. The entire Alliance will try our best to aid you." - Sarila

Although the plot of this world was different from what Torei initially thought, but after all, it was still the same mission. In that same kind of pattern, his group still had to fight the Demon King to return home.

" Then there is no other way. We'll kill the demon king." - Haruki

" Hey Haruki, are you crazy? We are just students, don't say kill we can't even fight!" - Midori

" Hehehe about that you guys don't have to worry too much about it." - Okura

The otaku Okura lifted his glasses, showing an intellectual expression but it only made Torei feel extremely itchy.
