"What!?"
"Can't you just send us back!?"
The complaints of the people could be heard from all four sides.
"I'm very sorry everyone, but this is the fisfi time this happened, an area with an enormous amount of magic exploded and released it's contents and as a result, you have ended up being summoned here. Again I'm very sorry as we still have no idea how to undo this"
"Well if he's saying the truth, there's no point in not accepting his explanations right?"
"You seem really calm Shawn, are you alright?
Rika my classmates, said while looking extremely worried.
"Well Rika, as I've said before it's seem that Rast guy is telling the truth. All we can do at this point is accept it. And while we're here in this world, we should might as well enjoy ourselves here right?"
I smiled at Rika as a said those words to comfort her, and she smiled back.
Then Rast looked like he was about to say something.
"Everyone, if it's alright with you, could you become adventurers? Don't worry, we have already settled our disputes with the demons a long time ago. Furthermore, I sense a large amount of magic power from each and every one of you. If you're skilled enough, you could also become one of the Imperial Magic Knights which are at the capital."
"I wonder what kind of magic I have?"
"Magic sounds really cool, let's do it!"
" I want to try using magic and get into those Imperial Magic Knights!"
Various opinions are heard from all four sides again.
With Rast seeing everyone agree to what he suggested he told us "Well, it seems that it's okay with you right? Hold on a sec, we will just ger your new Adventurer Cards so you can have your profile."
He left for the door behind him.
Then Ian called me and asked "Hey Shawn, do you think my stats in my game would be the same here?"
I remembered he was quite an RPG addict.
"I don't know. But you'll be really lucky if it is!"
Maybe life here won't be so hard. Hopefully.
Rast returiand started handing out the Adventurer Cards which were blank.
"As all of you can see, it has nothing in it, you need to drop your blood on it and your profile will automatically be made."
I got mine and dropped my blood on it. Shortly after, characters started showing and read.

Magic Power: .700
Vitality: .500
Luck: .350
Apart from my Intelligence and Luck, all of my other stats were good. But even if I know those two were low it hurts to see them in numbers.
Ian called out and asked if we could look at each other's Cards.
"Woah your lucky, your stats are really high, it's like your game!"
"Your's is amazing too, your strength is the same as mine. Who knew you were a muscle head!"
After Ian who was still drooling over his Card, I told myself.
"I need to know what Skill Proficiency means."
When I went to look for Rast, he was explaining to the others. About the skills and stats.
"Everyone your stats can be improved in two ways, the first is doing activity that can enhance that particular stat. For example, training your body, this will increase your Strength. The second is using Stat Points that are gained from leveling up. Each level up gives 1.000 Stat Points, so use it to your preferences. Then about Skills, it varies from each individual but the most common skills can be learned from others or bouth at merchants. Everytime you level up, you get 2 skill points. These can be used to upgrade existing skills of learn new ones. Understand?"
"Yes, understood."
It seems like I can ask him know.
"Uh, Mr. Rast can you tell me what is Skill Proficiency?"
"Ah Skill Proficiency means how powerful the skills you cast are."
"I see. Thank you very much."
After nodding to me, Rast called on everyone and said.
"All of you thanks for understanding the situation and agreeing to become adventurers. May you all have a bright future ahead! I recommend either going to to Adventurer'a Guild first to register or practice your skills at the forest to the east."
And with that the new adventurers who were just students started walking out of the hall considering which of the two recommendations Rast gave us.
Ian patted my back and said.
"Shawn, for now I'm going to grind my level solo for now. How about you?"
"Ah, Well I'll go to the Guild and earn some money."
"I see, when the time comes let's be in a psrty together, shall we?"
"Sure thing,"
After giving him a fist bump, I went to the Guild which was in the middle of town.
After arriving, I asked the staff at the counter if there was a fee for registering.
"It's a good thing you asked, the fee is 500 copper coins."
"I see. Thank you very much."
After leaving I was thinking on either finding a way to get the registration fee or grinding my level at the forest the old man said.
"I should better try using my magic and grinding first, I'm pretty sure I can find something to sell from those monsters."
I would've preferred a bow and arrow or maybe a sword, given that +35 mana consumption, but I hope my skills won't drain my Mana really quick.
Arriving at the forest, the students looked like they were enjoying themselves hunting monsters. Or maybe no more exams for the time being. *lol*
I decided to find a lone monster to start learning magic, even though I have no idea what is Imagination Magic I had a slight understanding what it might be.
Looking at my hand, I started focusing.
Nothing happened.
After a short while, my hand was glowing blue, and wind was circulating around it.
"I don't know what you do, but here we go."
I tried holding it like it was Kame Hame Wave but it was still in my hand. Then I tried throwing it, that worked.
"What the heck is that? That tornado is big!"
Even the other students noticed the tornado that formed even though I was some distance away from them.
The tornado was probably 15 meters high, and it seemed that it sucked in not only the first target, but also the other monsters that were relatively close.
I was breathing heavily, that skill must've cost a lot of Mana. I noticed my Adventurer Card in .my chest pocket glow.
"Hmm, Skill: Tornado Mana cost: 50(+18)."
The +18 is probably the Mana consumption increase, but that tornado took down a lot of monsters. My experience went from 0 to 1400/2000
The other students went rushing to the exhausted me who was lying down on the ground and started saying.
"That was cool!"
"Can I join your party?"
"What's your name?"
And things like that. We saw someone running towards us. After he came near us he asked.
"Who did that magic come from? My party would like to have you even for just this one question we're about to take. I will also properly compensate you don't worry."
"Uh, thanks for the offer but I'm still not registered at the Guild and I'm just level 1, I'll only be a drop to your party."
"That's ok, we just need you to be at our backline, we also have a healer if you get hurt."
Smiling gently after that, I couldn't turn down the offer as I really needed the money.
"Ok then, I'll join you, but can you pay for my registration first? Just take it from my pay later."
"Sure thing, I'll fill you in on the details of the questions once we get to my party."
We left the forest and arrive at the Guild. I registered immediately and we then went to look for this guy's party.
"By the way kid, I haven't asked for your name yet, my name is Dusty nice to meet you."
"My name is Shawn, please take care of me."
We arrived to where Dusty's party is.
"Everyone this is our backliner for this quest."
"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Rin I'm the priest in this party."
"I'm Lax, I'm the archer, Dusty here is our vanguard."
"I am Shawn, please take care of me."
"Alright everyone not that we've introduced ourselves, let's get down to the quest shall we?
My first quest in this world full of magic is about to begin.
