This was a Strange place , all around only the sky and the clouds could be seen , there was a circular platform, its ground was made of rock similar to marble , in the centre was a huge golden statue of a woman , a stunningly beautiful woman , it looked like it was alive .
The platform contour had a something similar to a balcony railing but it was made from stone , on the ground was some huge patterns , lines and drawings .
The patterns seemed to be some sort of symbols , they formed another circle and one can notice that the thick black lines were dividing the symbols and joined together under the statue, it was truly mysterious .
Another thing was odd , from one end of the platform was stairs going down , clearly an exit but on the other end was eight constructions , they were made from stone and looking at them they resembled crypts , all of them had an entrance but seven were opened and only one was sealed .
Silence continued for several minutes until a sound of something moving was heard .
Sfx : Kreeen !
The sealed door of the last construction opened , sound of footsteps slowly reverberated , a silhouette appeared from inside , little by little it became clearly visible .
A pale young man made his appearance , his long hair covered half of his face , his expression was completely devoid of emotions , his eyes were empty and it felt like he abandoned himself .
For some reason he kneeled heavily on the floor , he bent his head down so that his entire face was hidden and muttered something , if one didn't concentrate to listen one wouldn't know what he mumbled but the word was clearly "Father " , some drops of a liquid made contact with the ground , it was tears , the young man was crying after that he lifted his head .
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" he began to scream .
The look in his eyes changed , 'rage' 'sorrow' 'regret' 'sadness' , were deeply felt looking at him .
This young man in question was Ichiro .
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Several hours ago .
"Hey what was that father? Father ? " Second slowly approached his father who was looking down from the science department building .
The old man was in a daze , he felt confused .
"I don't know , he clearly fell but he suddenly vanished in the air "said the old man .
"What?!!! He escaped ? " Second was surprised
"Maybe yes but maybe no "explained the old man rather strangely .
" Huh?"Second was perplexed .
"I feel like he disappeared from this world "
-------------------------------------------------------
At the same time inside a certain classroom .
"hey Risa , what are you looking at so lost in thought "said Minami looking puzzled by her friend behaviour .
"hmm? Ah nothing just my imagination "replied Aoyama lightly.
"Risa we are going to karaoke after school , do you want to go with us? " said the cold beauty Chika .
"oh why not , count me in "
Suddenly , Minami approached Aoyama excitedly .
"nee nee Risa-chan why don't you invite Hayato-Kun , it will be funnier and ..." "you can be with him , it's an opportunity "whispered Minami in the ears of Aoyama .
Aoyama face suddenly became red , it wasn't because she liked Hayato but because she was extremely embarrassed at her friend words .
"No no no, Minami -chan you misunderstood " said hurriedly .
"Minami !!" a vein popped on the forehead of Chika .
"he he , forget what I said Risa-chan , I don't want to die now " said Minami while sweating.
The door of the classroom opened abruptly .
"now now go to your seats "a attractive voice propagated inside the room .
This was a voluptuous beautiful woman ,she looked in her twenties with fair skin ,oval face , gorgeous lips and long trimmed hair , she wore a midsized black skirt had long legs and her two superb round weapons were clearly pushing inside her buttoned red jacket .
This was the principal teacher of Ichiro " Isozaki Hanako-sensei " .
"Sensei , beautiful like always "some male students that came back to the classroom said while making thumbs up and the majority of the female students were glaring at them making them break in cold sweet.
"Hai hai stop your flattering , your marks won't become better like this " smiled Isozaki -sensei
She walked to her desk , and took the names sheet to begin verifying the attendance but looking at her students she noticed an empty seat in the back .
"Where is Ichiro-kun , classes will start and he still isn't here " she said with dissatisfied look , it's the first time a student dished her classes .
"Sensei ,I bet he rushed home to watch same anime like an otaku "said one of the bullies duo Haruki .
Some students began to laugh .
"Okey okey stop this ruckus we will begin the lesson "
Just as she was to open her book , suddenly the classroom became bright , strange white circles appeared under some students .
Minami , Chika ,Hayato , Takagi,Haruki ,Aoyama , under each of them appeared a bright circle of light and surprisingly even the teacher .
"What ? what is this "Minami panicked .
"Calm down ,Minami and don't move " tried to reassure Chika .
"It's strange, from where did this white light come? "Aoyama was wondering .
Strangely Hayato was not scared , he was looking intently to the light whereas Takagi and Haruki were trying to escape the light but oddly enough , the circle followed them , it seemed like glued to them .
"don't panic , everything will be fine " Isozaki tried to appease them .

But without even letting them surprised , the circles enveloped them completely and they vanished from the classroom letting behind the remaining students shocked .
-------------------------------------------------------
Complete Darkness , Aoyama was looking around curiously , she seemed to be inside a room ,she felt the cold sensation of the walls around her with her hands , but she didn't find any light or exit so she began to panic but suddenly she recovered her eyesight and saw that a passage was opened , the first thing she perceived when timidly going out was the endless blue sky and the white clouds , seeing the familiar sight she was relieved but then she looked around and was stunned ,there was a huge golden statue of a woman and several strange clothed people were looking at her shocked , there was at least twenty or so people.
Some were wearing white robes while other looked like some knights in certain movies , they even had swords and armours , in front of them was a middle aged man he had blond short hair and was wearing a red rob with a golden embroidery , on top of his head was a golden coloured hat with a symbol at the centre , he resembled the Christian pope, he suddenly advanced a little with light steps and said something .
"Welcome to the Leoris kingdom , O saviours of our people, we waited for your arrival "
Aoyama looked at him blankly , she realized that she can understand his strange words clearly , then with a reflex she looked beside her , and her eyes widened , all the classmates that had a circle appear under them were present a few inches next to her .
"sensei , Minami ,Chika, you were safe " said Aoyama relieved of her anxiousness .
"yes we are alive fortunately " said Isozaki their teacher .
"wh..what happened who are these people ?" she asked them confused .
"we don't know we suddenly arrived at this strange place "explained Chika .
Seeing Aoyama safe and sound Hayato was relieved .
The pope like person hearing them smiled and tried to talk to them .
"Humble saviours I Know that you are confused , so please let me explain to you the situation "
"you are calling us saviours why is that ?" asked him Hayato seriously .
"first of all my name is Nimitz , if this faithful servant of goddess of Edea -sama may speak , this is the human kingdom of Leoris situated on the vast Edea continent , we of the human race face a terrible calamity , The magical and Devil race decided to form an alliance and wage war against us , several hundred of years ago our goddess Edea of Creation decided to create a treaty between her and the god of war who reigns over the magical race , but the goddess of darkness who reigns over devils decided to interfere and offered her help to the god of war , gods can't touch the mortal world so they can't harm its residents but war is another matter , the devil race is too powerful for us to handle so we decided to pray to Edea -sama to send saviours to our world and she listened to our prayers by giving us a method and we succeeded in summoning you "
Hearing the story of Nimitz , the students and their teacher were shocked because of the absurd situation they were put in and tried to digest the information they acquired little by little, after several minutes of thinking , Isozaki spoke .
"Nimitz -san , as their teacher I can't accept this , I mean just moments ago we were just normal people how can we become suddenly heroes or saviours? Please let us go home we can't possibly help you "
"first saviour -sama may I hear your name? "said Nimitz .
"my name is Inozaki"
"Then Inozaki -sama you don't have to worry our goddess can't possibly be wrong and she certainly granted you power to help us , and I'm sorry but we have no method to send you to your world "
"what ?" Aoyama loud voice surprised the people present .
Takagi and haruki became Uneasy , Minami clang to Chika and Hayato had a complex expression .
"we are terribly sorry but this is the truth "
No sound was emitted anymore hearing Nimitz words.
"is there no way to return ?" Hayato broke the heavy silence with his question .
"Edea -sama summoned you so I think she can also help you "Nimitz proposed .
"then talk to your goddess for us "said
"impossible , the goddess never talk to us she just send signs , it's likely that when you finish your mission there will be the possibility to go home "
Inozaki, Aoyama and the others were dejected but ...
"then i will save your people "claimed Hayato .
Nimitz eyes for a moment had a strange expression .
"we truly are grateful ...truly thank you" the people behind Nimitz that were worried a moment ago were now thanking Hayato and cheering .
"then we will follow you Hayato "said the two bullies.
"yes Minami will help Hayato too"
"well we don't have a choice do we" said Chika but still having an unchangeable expression .
"if you two are here then I'm at ease " said Aoyama with resolution.
Then all of them looked at Inozaki .
"don't look at me with those eyes , I'm your teacher and guardian , of course i will do my possible to protect you "she also resigned at the abnormal situation .
"thank you saviours !, then if you can follow me our king is waiting "
A knight approached Nimitz and whispered to him , then he looked at the last crypt like chamber that was not yet open .
"saviours it seems that another benefactor is not here yet "Said Nimitz .
Aoyama and the others looked at the remaining chamber curiously , they remembered that only six people had light circles appear before them , they were feeling intrigued.
"then I propose that we wait " said Nimitz .
"I agree" said Inozaki .
After that they waited for a long time but nothing happened .
End .
