[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
Satoru stared at the labyrinth's entrance before him and his group.
"So that's how it is...." He muttered, tapping his foot on the ground while looking at it, specifically where his other students were 81 floors under.
"What is it, sensei?" Yukitoshi asked, wanting to know what was on his mind when Satoru turned around.
"We might be too late if we go by foot-"
"What?! Satoru, what else can you do?" Aiko shouted, as she was the most worried of the group, however she believed that Satoru is capable of finding a way.
"Just see." Satoru calmly swiped his hand forwards, as a dimensional gate appeared in front of them.
"Come on, we don't have time to lose."
And then, Satoru's and Hajime's groups walked inside the dimensional gate. The former's group had a purpose of course.
Hajime only followed because he was really curious if those said drivers really work and he wouldn't really be held back in his search for the Age of Gods magic so he can return to Earth with his companions afterwards.
He didn't really care that much about his classmates, as they can all return with a certain sensei's help, right?
In the meantime, once they have passed through the gate, all the people noticed something in the distance.
A barrier had already been set up, and Kouki is seen being beaten up by several humanoid monsters. Inside the barrier were the other students, who looked like they were in despair.
Reflexively, the seven students in the group rushed towards the group while the girls fired a few spells using their small staffs towards the humanoid mana beasts, blowing them away and even killing the ones hit by their blasts while giving attention to them.
Without even hesitating, they activated their drivers and all transformed in under one second, all while Satoru and his group approached the students and knights.
"..... Un. Flashy." Yue bluntly commented, not at all impressed by the transformations the students made, while Shea Haulia only stared in excitement.
"I want to transform just like those girls, and I'll just be like "kacha~! oryaa~!" and much more, teehee~!" Shea muttered in aw while she saw the future, but she was ignored, as always.
But before they could try and watch the show that was going to unfold, Hajime swiftly turned around and fired a few shots towards hidden mana beasts that couldn't be normally felt at all,
"Kamen Riders? Magical Girls?" One of the students muttered, before snapping out of his thoughts and hoped that they would win.
Although the students all stared at their recently transformed classmates, they were all silent when a few more people came from the direction where their other classmates came from.
To their surprise, two of them were their teachers, Satoru and Aiko respectively, along with a few, beautiful women following Satoru closely, one blunt faced blue haired lady who was placing her hands above her stomach and an observant black haired elf who wore clothing similar to Kimono, at least that was what most of the students thought. There was even three more people, too.
One of them reminded the students of a certain student who was supposedly dead. Though it might have been a coincidence.
The templar knights hurried to tend to the downed knights, and Kaori and Suzu had to lower the barriers.
The students now gained a long breather.
Because the mana beasts and Cattleya were too focused on the riders and magical girls, they didn't notice that Kouki was teleported to Satoru's hands as if he wasn't even there, before the said sensei lightly put the heavily injured boy down to the ground.
Kouki could only stare right at the blurry figure of Satoru, having felt hopelessness for the very first time, before eventually succumbing to his injuries. He wasn't dead yet, though he was on a critical condition that needs to be treated right now.
So, he immediately took a few of his extremely rarely used potions in his [Inven-Dimension], before quickly taking off several parts of dented armor and giving him the sight of a clothed, yet heavily bruised Kouki.
Without the need to hurry, Satoru popped open the caps of those said potions, before using magic to cover his body with the liquid from the potions and accelerated the healing process, all while reinforcing his body from the inside out.
Basically, a needless powerup.
Once he's done, Satoru covered Kouki's body with the exception of his head with Kouki's own cape.
Words don't need to describe how surprised the students are right now.
However...
"Who are all of you? State your names!" Cattleya shouted at the recently transformed students, feeling that she wouldn't be able to convince the transformed people to join their cause.
Feeling that this was it, the male students smirked under their masks.
"I am the bringer of justice hidden under the shadows! Armoured Rider Shadows!" Shimizu, as A.R. Shadow, introduced himself, taking a dramatic pose.
"I am the Stalwart Defender! Armored Rider Tower!" Noboru, as A.R. Tower, slammed his gauntleted fist to his palm, creating a small shockwave that doesn't seem to affect his allies.
"I am the warrior that swings his swords as fast as sound! Armored Rider Cutlass!" Akito, as A.R. Cutlass shouted, swiftly twirling his two cutlasses around before taking a crouched pose.
"I am the illusory gunner, who shall bring forth destruction to my enemies! Armored Rider Breaker!" Tamai, as A.R. Breaker, declared as he drew his handguns and twirled them.
And then, the magical girls started to introdice themselves in the roll call.
"Jewel Maiden Sapphire!" Nana shouted, before Yuka and Taeko followed up with their own poses.
"Jewel Maiden Topaz!"
"Jewel Maiden Quartz!"
Cattleya was flabbergasted, while her subordinates (the mana beasts that were lent to her by her higher ups) screeched in anger and irritation.
".... Un. Now they're too flashy." Yue bluntly spoke with a deadpan tone.
"On second thought, I don't think I'll be making Rider Belts." Hajime followed up.
"Gah! Fuck this shit! I don't care if you have such cheesy names, just fucking end them already!" Cattleya commanded the mana beasts as they started to move towards the transformed students's group to attack.
It was at this moment that the transformed students also started to charge in to the battle.
